Galatians 1:6 - I am amazed how soon you have been turned from the Meshiha himself, who called you by his grace,

Galatians 1:6 - I admire, how soon ye have turned from the Messiah, who called you by his grace, unto another gospel ;

Galatians 1:6 - I am surprised how soon you have turned to another gospel, away from Christ who has called you by his grace;  The Aramaic Text ( above ) and Dr. John Etheridge, Dr. James Murdock, and Mr. George Lamsa's translations below the Aramaic Text of Galatians 1:6,   are all courtesy of DUKHRANA. com / Peshitta Tool,  a free online and scholarly analytical tool of  the Aramaic Text, with several Lexicons available for each word of each verse of the New Covenant, including CAL, the Comprehensive Aramaic Lexicon of the Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati, Ohio. CAL distinguishes between 30 Aramaic dialects, including Syriac, in its workings, from a scholarly perspective ( i.e., it is a secular language work and does not present its information from any religious doctrinal viewpoint.) The Netzarim Publishing House version of Galatians 1:6 is taken from that "golden, best, and historic" ( via Amazon reviews ) translation which they publish and helped edit. Here is their English translation with nothing changed nor added.  "I am stunned into silence, as if dead ( dead of speaking)3  that you have so quickly forgotten Mashiyach  who has called you to his grace and (have) gone to another gospel. " Perhaps even more astonishing is footnote # 3 found on that same page 560, mis-pag. edition:  " Usually translated as "amazed" or "astonished," but this word parses out literally as met ( dead )   d (of )   amar ( saying/speaking).   It would therefore appear to be an idiom akin to saying   " the crowd was stunned into dead silence" ; thus indicating deep surprise that renders one speechless like the dead.  As usual with this Netzarim volume, one is forced to look closely at the Aramaic Text itself in order to ascertain EXACTLY what the verse is saying. With the help of Dukhrana.com's most excellent Peshitta Tool , we will be able to see if the Netzarim New Covenant is honestly translating the Sacred Text into English... or if it is not.  Alas, the problems start with the VERY FIRST WORD in the verse ܡܶܬ݁ܕ݁ܰܡܰܪ ܡܶܬ݁ܕ݁ܰܡܰܪ Analyzing this verb, we find  it is a PARTICIPLE.  How do we KNOW it is a participle ? In Aramaic grammar, the Mem letter  ܡܶ ( "M" ... it looks like an R fallen flat on its face ) at the beginning of the verb indicates that it is a participle form. That "M" at the beginning is called a "preformative."  Next we notice the   Tav letter  ܬ݁  ( " T " ... it looks like a wheelchair ).  That "T" tells us something, especially because of the short "e" vowel pointing in front of the T, over the Mem.    ܡܶܬ݁  It tells us  It is an ETH-- form of the verb. Because of the vowel pointings ( and the handy verb paradigms the scholars use to distinguish verb forms ) this verb is in an ETHP AE L , an ethpael, verb form. Some, like Mr. Noldeke, term this form: ethpaal.  Ethp AE L verb forms are passive or reflexive.  Thirdly, we notice the ROOT of the verb is ܕ݁ܰܡܰܪ   DMR .  It is 1st, masculine, singular form = " I " DMR means: to wonder, be surprised, be amazed, to marvel, to be astonished ( DUKHRANA, CAL, J. Payne-Smith, W. Jennings ). This is the CORRECT grammatical analysis of MTDMR, the first word in Galatians 1:6.  ܡܶܬ݁ܕ݁ܰܡܰܪ To make MTDMR = "dead of speaking" , one would have to  IGNORE the participle preformative marker, ܡܶ Mem IGNORE the ETH- form indicator, ܬ݁ Taw and the vowel pointing above the Mem SPLIT APART THE ROOT , DMR, ܕ݁ܰܡܰܪ OVER-LOOK the need for AMAR ( which means "speaking" ) to have an ALAP letter before the MEM!  The verb AMAR is spelled  ܐܰ alap-ܡܶ  mem-ܪ resh.    Because the standard rules of Aramaic / Syriac grammar were IGNORED or not followed, a fantastical "parsing" of MTDMR rendered a translation of the Sacred Text which includes 9 extra words " stunned into silence, as if dead ( dead of speaking)"  ... of which translation NOT ONE Aramaic language scholar of the four renown scholars said was even possibly correct. At all.   Does this word " parse out literally " as the author claims in footnote # 3, page 560, mis-pagination edition of the Netzarim version of the New Covenant? Because the standard rules of Aramaic / Syriac grammar were cast aside, Galatians 1:6 omitted translating the words "how"  ܐܰܝܟ݁ܰܢܳܐ  and "from" ܡܶܢ   , leaving them out altogether.  Because the rules were not followed, the translation included words NOT in the text:  "so" and "forgotten."  Other oddities: The  Beyt-  ܒ݁ prefix on "his grace" ܒ݁ܛܰܝܒ݁ܽܘܬ݂ܶܗ  was translated "TO" instead of "IN" or even with the instrumental "BY",  and an additional verb phrase was added ( have ) gone ... which is not in the ARAMAIC TEXT.  Because the rules were forsaken in lieu of that erroneous fantasy, the literal translation from Aramaic to English had to be padded and adjusted and SKEWERED in order for this verse to make sense.  Why would ANYONE  of integrity allow such a travesty with the Sacred Text ?  This error-packed translation was done under the auspices of editorS and proof-readerS and committee memberS. It is highly lauded by Amazon reviewers who will not address the errors.  It is apparent that the Netzarim must change Scripture in order to substantiate their doctrinal stands.  Would not it be wiser to be HONEST in the translation so as to be CORRECTED in doctrine .... rather than to TRY to correct Scripture ? How can one or one's group ever HOPE to please ALAHA or ALOHA or THE ELOHIM or GOD if the Scriptures are "corrected" rather than we ourselves ? It is a fearful thing to fall into the Hand of the Living GOD, ALAHA, ALOHA, THE ELOHIM.
