Shlama

Shlama

"Shlama" (Syriac script: ܫܠܡܐ, Hebrew script and Aramaic script: שלמא) is the Aramaic word for "peace". Its root "šlm" is cognate with the Hebrew word "Shalom" ( _he. שלום) and the Arabic word "Salam" ( _ar. سلام).

The every day spoken language in Jesus' day was Aramaic. The original Greek biblical text uses "eirēnē" (polytonic|εἰρήνη) for 'peace', which perhaps represents Jesus saying 'shlama'. [Lk 24:36; Jn 20:19,26; "vide" NA27 "per" sy.] In the epistles, it often occurs alongside the usual Greek greeting "chairein" (polytonic|χαίρειν) in the phrase 'grace and peace'.

In modern Assyrian culture, a common greeting is "Shlama 'loukh" ( _sy. ܫܠܡܐ ܥܠܘܟ; classically, _sy. ܫܠܡܐ ܥܠܝܟ, "shlāmâ ‘laik", "Shlomo 'loukh" in Turoyo) which means "peace be upon you."
