1. MARANATHAnoun

   It signifies, the Lord comes, or, the Lord is come: it was a form of the denouncing or anathematizing among the Jews. St. Paul pronounces, If any love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be anathema maranatha, which is as much as to say, May’st thou be devoted to the greatest of evils, and to the utmost severity of God’s judgments; may the Lord come quickly to take vengeance of thy crimes. Augustin Calmet

   Etymology: Syriack.

1. Maranatha

   Maranatha (Aramaic: מרנאתא‎) is an Aramaic phrase which occurs once in the New Testament (1 Corinthians 16:22). It also appears in Didache 10:14. It is transliterated into Greek letters rather than translated and, given the nature of early manuscripts, the lexical difficulty rests in determining just which two Aramaic words constitute the single Greek expression.

1. Maranatha

   Maranatha is a two-word Aramaic formula occurring only once in the New Testament and also in the Didache, which is part of the Apostolic Fathers' collection. It is transliterated into Greek letters rather than translated and, given the nature of early manuscripts, the lexical difficulty lies in determining just which two Aramaic words comprise the single Greek expression, found at the end of Paul's First Epistle to the Corinthians. If one chooses to split the two words as מרנא תא, a vocative concept with an imperative verb, then it can be translated as a command to the Lord to come. On the other hand, if one decides that the two words מרן אתא, a possessive "Our Lord" and a perfect/preterite verb "has come," are actually more warranted, then it would be seen as a credal expression. This interpretation, "Our Lord has come," is supported by what appears to be an equivalent of this in the early credal acclamation found in the biblical books of Romans 10:9 and 1 Corinthians 12:3, "Jesus is Lord."
