Your best bet may be to rent a DVD of Mel Gibson's film "The Passion
of the Christ," which is in Aramaic with subtitles.

Here's a discussion of the seven last statements of Jesus Christ:

Note that, although these statements were undoubtedly made in Aramaic,
they came to us through the books of the New Testament, written in
Greek.

Hi Pinkfreud-ga

Thanks.  But I need to be able to read the aramaic out loud -- so I
would need to see the phonetic spelling.

Only one of the statements has been passed down to us in Aramaic.

Thanks Myroarin-ga,

I'm looking for Aramaic or Hebrew -- I know they exist in Hebrew.  I
just need the phonetics (in the English alphabet) so I can pronounce
the Hebrew!

In Syria and Turkey there are Christians who still speak Aramaic or
Syriac and date their Christianization back to the early period.

There are also Hebrew translations of the New Testament:

And how do you pronounce Hebrew?  This site may be a start, but you will find 
many more with a search for:  Hebrew pronunciation

And then on the subject of translating the NT into Aramaic, I found
this very interesting, although it may not be for you:

this is really the answer and it shows Christs very human side he
said."Ll'ama Ll'ama sabachtani.'"my god, (my god) why hast Thou
Forsaken me".If you take out the repetition of the "my god'phrase he
was hurt and downcast immediatly before dying and even he had his
moments of doubt and pain
