    It is not hard to read. It is only the New Testament though.

    Etheridge and Murdock are worthwhile comparisons; Murdock translated into standard 'Biblish' but Etheridge transliterated many nouns from the Aramaic. Lamsa's translation, however, came from a place of 'Aramaic primacy' which is contrary to history.

    If anyone is curious, the Etheridge translation is from 1849 and Murdock from 1851, so both are out of copyright and in the public domain. You can download the original books on Internet Archive. There are also e-Sword modules.
