And the article only quotes the Greek bible which is itself a translation.

It quotes the New Testament which was written in Koine Greek.

Debatable and debated.

There are evidences that Matthew wasn't written in Koine but Syriac and that significant fragments of the Gospels (which is what is quoted) are translation from Aramaic.

It was. But we're pretty sure that Jesus spoke Aramaic. So the books were originally written in Greek, but the source material for the gospels wasn't spoken in Greek.

Sure, but that is different than being a translation.

A "translation" of the Bible is always considered moving from the original text, not from the likely language of the speaker.

Fair enough.
