There
are some translations of the Greek Newer
Testament who attempt to place the Sacred Name of YHVH back into the text. Those who advocate
this run on the presupposition that the original manuscripts were penned in
either Aramaic or Hebrew. I also believe
the Newer Testament was written or orally transmitted in the Semitic languages as
well (Hebrew being most likely), so I do
not think we need to arbitrarily pick and choose passages to place YHVH’s name.
We have existing Hebrew Newer Testament texts of Matthew and Hebrews. We also possess nearly complete
Coptic Gospels and many
complete Aramaic Newer Testament
texts. Such exegetes as George M. Lamsa[1], Herb Jahn[2], James Trimm[3], and Paul D. Younan[4] have all translated the Aramaic texts into English and these are
all readily available.
In Aramaic translations of the Tanakh (Older Testament), the exegetes generally render the Hebrew word YHVH as Maryah (which is translated into English as the LORD) and Adon or Adonai as the Aramaic Mar (which in turn is translated into English as Lord).[5] Unfortunately, most of the translators above do not carry this tendency forward when translating the Brit Hadasha. Below is
an example of show a consistent use of the translation technique used in the
Older Testament would have made I Corinthians 12:3 considerably more
powerful...
This is The Incarnation.
