The Bible

As ren eh toshiaght dy loayrt roo liorish coraaghyn-dorraghey. Va dooinney dy row ren garey-feeyney y hoiaghey, as ren eh cleigh mygeayrt-y-mysh, as chleiy eh ynnyd son y press-feeyney, as hrog eh toor, as hoie eh eh rish eirrinnee, as hie eh gys cheer foddey.

And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.

As ec yn imbagh cooie hug eh sharvaant gys ny eirinnee, dy gheddyn veih ny eirinnee jeh mess y gharey feeyney.

And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.

As ghow ad as woaill ad eh, as hug ad eh ersooyl follym.

And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.

As reesht hug eh huc sharvaant elley as ersyn cheau ad claghyn, as vrish ad y kione er, as hug ad eh ersooyl lesh dellal feer scammyltagh.

And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.

As reesht hug eh huc sharvaant elley; as eshyn ren ad y varroo: as ymmodee elley, bwoalley paart, as marroo paart.

And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.

As va echey foast un vac, er v'eh feer ghraihagh, as hug eh eshyn myrgeddin ec y jerrey huc, gra, Ver ad arrym da my vac.

Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.

Agh dooyrt ny eirinnee shen ny mast' oc hene, Shoh'n eirey: tar-jee as lhig dooin eh y varroo, as bee yn eiraght lhien hene.

But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be our's.

As ghow ad, as varr ad eh, as hilg ad eh magh ass y gharey-feeyney.

And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.

Cre nee Chiarn y gharey-feeyney er-y-fa shen y yannoo? hig eh as stroie-ee eh ny eirinnee, as ver eh yn garey-feeyney da eirinnee elley.

What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.

Nagh vel shiuish er lhaih ayns goo Yee? Ta'n chlagh ren ny masoonee y vee-lowal, er jeet dy ve yn ard chlagh chorneilagh.

And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:

Shoh va jannoo yn Chiarn, as te yindyssagh ayns ny sooillyn ainyn.

This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

As v'ad shêgin er goaill eh, agh v'ad ayns aggle roish y pobble; son va fys oc dy row eh er loayrt yn coraa-dorraghey noi ad-hene: as daag ad eh, as hie ad rhymboo.

And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way.

As hug ad huggey shiartanse jeh ny Phariseeyn, as ny Herodianee, dy ghoaill vondeish jeh ayns e ghoan.

And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words.

As tra v'ad er jeet, dooyrt ad rish Vainshter, ta fys ain dy vel oo firrinagh, as nagh vel oo ayns imnea roish dooinney erbee; son cha vel oo soiaghey jeh persoon deiney, agh gynsaghey raad Yee ayns firrinys: vel eh lowal keesh y choyrt da Cesar, mannagh vel?

And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?

Jean mayd coyrt, ny dyn coyrt? Agh va fys echeysyn er y chialgeyrys oc, as dooyrt eh roo, Cre'n-fa ta shiu shirrey dy my ghoaill ayns ribbey? cur-jee lhieu ping hym, dy vaik-ym eh.

Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it.

As hug ad lhieu eh: as dooyrt eh roo, Quoi gys ta'n cowrey as y screeu shoh bentyn? As dooyrt adsyn rish, Gys Cesar.

And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's.

As dreggyr Yeesey, as dooyrt eh roo, Eeck-jee da Cesar, shen ny ta lesh Cesar, as da Jee, ny reddyn ta lesh Jee. As ghow ad yindys jeh.

And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him.

Eisht haink huggey ny Sadduceeyn, ta gra nagh vel irree-seose-reesht dy ve ayn; as denee ad jeh, gra,

Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,

Vainshter, ta Moses er scrieu dooin, My ta braar dooinney geddyn baase, as faagail e ven ny yei, gyn cloan echey r'ee, dy vel e vraar dy phoosey yn ven echey, as dy hroggal seose sluight da e vraar.

Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

Nish va shiaght braaraghyn: as ghow yn braar shinney ben, agh geddyn baase cha daag eh sluight.

Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.

As ghow yn nah vraar ee, as hooar eh baase, as cha daag eh sluight: as y trass myrgeddin.

And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise.

As v'ee ec y chiaght, as cha daag ad sluight: er-jerrey ooilley hooar y ven baase myrgeddin.

And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.

Shen-y-fa ec yn irree-seose-reesht veih ny merriu, tra nee ad girree, quoi jeu vees ee echey son ben? son v'ee ny ben da'n chiaght.

In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.

As dreggyr Yeesey as dooyrt eh roo, Nagh vel shiu er-y-fa shen fo marranys, er yn-oyr nagh vel toiggal eu jeh goo ny jeh pooar Yee?

And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?

Son ec yn irree-seose-reesht veih ny merriu, cha vel ad poosey, ny er nyn goyrt ayns poosey: agh t'ad myr ny ainleyn t'ayns niau.

For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.

As mychione ny merriu, dy nirree ad; nagh vel shiu er lhaih ayns lioar Voses, kys loayr Jee rish ass y thammag, gra, Mish Jee Abraham, as Jee Isaac, as Jee Yacob?

And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?

Cha nee Jee ny merriu eh, agh Jee ny bioee: ta shiu er-y-fa shen fo marranys vooar.

He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.

As haink fer jeh ny scrudeyryn cheayll ad resooney cooidjagh, as cur tastey dy row eh er n'ansoor ad dy mie, denee eh jeh, Cre'n ard-anney jeh ny annaghyn ooilley?

And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?

As dreggyr Yeesey eh, Yn chied anney jeh ooilley ny annaghyn, Clasht, O Israel, Ta'n Chiarn yn Jee ain yn ynrycan Chiarn;

And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

As ver oo graih da'n Chiarn dty Yee lesh ooilley dty chree, as lesh ooilley dty annym, as lesh ooilley dty aigney, as lesh ooilley dty niart: shoh'n chied anney.

And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

As ta'n nah anney casley rish, ta shen dy ghra, Ver oo graih da dty naboo, myr dhyt hene: cha vel anney erbee elley smoo na ad shoh.

And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

As dooyrt y scrudeyr rish, S'mie shen Vainshter, t'ou er loayrt yn irriney: son ta un Jee ayn, as cha vel Jee erbee elley agh eh-hene.

And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:

As dy ve graihagh er lesh ooilley yn chree, as lesh ooilley yn tushtey, as lesh ooilley yn annym, as lesh ooilley yn niart, as dy ve graihagh er e naboo myr er hene ta shen ny smoo na ooilley ny slane chebballyn losht as ourallyn.

And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.

As tra honnick Yeesey dy dansoor eh dy tushtagh, dooyrt eh rish, Cha vel oo foddey veih reeriaght Yee. As cha by-lhoys da dooinney erbee maghey shen question erbee sodjey y chur huggey.

And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.

As dreggyr Yeesey myr v'eh gynsaghey ayns y chiamble, as dooyrt eh, Kys ta ny scrudeyryn gra dy nee Creest mac Ghavid?

And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David?

Son ta David eh-hene er ghra liorish y Spyrryd Noo, Dooyrt y Chiarn rish my Hiarn's, Soie uss er my laue yesh, derrey ver-ym dty noidyn son stoyl dty choshey.

For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.

Ta David er-y-fa shen eh-hene genmys eh ny Hiarn; as kys t'eh eisht yn mac echey? As deaisht yn pobble v'er nyn jaglym cooidjagh rish dy arryltagh.

David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly.

As dooyrt eh roo, myr v'eh gynsagh, Bee-jee er nyn dwoaie jeh ny scrudeyryn, ta geearree shooyll ayns coamraghyn liauyrey, as sleih dy vannaghey daue ayns ny margaghyn,

And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces,

As ny ard-stuill y ve oc ayns ny synagogueyn, as ny ard ynnydyn-soie ec cuirraghyn:

And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts:

T'ad cur mow thieyn mraane treoghe, as son scaa dy chraueeaght lhiggey orroo dy ve mennick ec padjer: ta briwnys strimmey ny chour oc shoh.

Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.

As myr va Yeesey ny hoie liorish kishtey yn stoyr, ghow eh tastey kys va'n pobble cur argid ayns y stoyr: as ren ymmodee va berchagh cur ayn dy palchey.

And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.

As haink ben voght treoghe dy row, as hilg ee ayn daa vite ta jannoo farling.

And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.

As deie eh er e ostyllyn huggey, as dooyrt eh roo, Dy firrinagh ta mee gra riu, dy vel y ven-treoghe voght shoh er chur ny smoo ayns kishtey yn stoyr, na dy chooilley unnane t'er choyrt ayn.

And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:

Son t'adsyn ooilley er chur ayn ass nyn balchey: as t'eeish myr s'boght ee, er choyrt ayn ooilley ny v'eck, dy jarroo ooilley e cooid-seihlt.

For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.
