hmm, you can read Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic (a language similar to slang hebrew, greek and latin - the business language of the area)

I can't, so I read what's in english... so what is missing in the translations?

You may be thinking of koine Greek, but Aramaic is a full-fledged Semitic language, related to but distinct from Hebrew (though Rabbinic Hebrew adopts many Aramaic words).
