We do not have any of the origianl texts of the New Testament. The copies we have are written in Aramaic, Coptic, and Koine Greek.

Aramaic and Arabic (along with Hebrew) are both Semitic languages, but they are very different. Aramaic is like Arabic, in the same way that Hebrew is like Arabic. They're definitely separate languages.

The New Testament was mostly written in Greek.
The Old Testament was written in Hebrew.
