Translating English names (specifically Jeffry) into Aramaic.?

Question

Is it possible to find a website to translate English-Aramaic (free)? It appears that you cannot do a letter by letter translation.

Thank you.

Answer 1

Well, there are several Aramaic-English dictionaries, but I don't know of any free phonetic dictionary.

Anyway, Aramaic has several scripts correspondingly to the time and place were the different dialects were spoken.
The Israeli-Aramaic that was spoken by the Jews was written in Hebrew letters, and in this case your name would be גפרי (Modern Hebrew: ג'פרי).

Answer 2

The English Bible was developed over a period pf approximately 200 years. There were several men who labored very diligently in the translation work. During their efforts these men were persecuted, ostracized, exiled, imprisoned had even burned at the stake. The established Chruch of Rome had kept the scriptures from the common man for a period of one thousand years which plunged the world into the dark ages. William Tyndale, who was born in 1949 believed in the authority of the scriptures and did more in the way of translation of the English Bible than any other man. Tyndale told a Church Bishop, 'I will make it possible for the boy who drives the plow to know as much scripture as you do." He spent the last five hundred days of his life in a cold, dark, lonely prison cell. On October 6, 1536, Tyndale was tied to a beam in the public square, then strangled and burned to death. His last prayer was"Lord open the King of England's eyes." the Lord answered that prayer sixty eight years later. He opened King James 1 eyes and he authorized the translation of the King James Version. King James authorized the translation in 1604 and a group of scholarly men met at Hampton Court to make the translation of the Holy Scriptures into the English Language. It was published in 1611.
