The Bible

Eisht ghow Pilate er-y-fa shen Yeesey, as doardee eh eh dy ve scuitchit.

Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.

As fee ny sidooryn attey dy ghrineyn, as hug ad eh er e chione, as hug ad er coamrey purple.

And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,

As dooyrt ad, Dy vannee dhyt's, Ree ny Hewnyn: as woaill ad eh lesh nyn laueyn.

And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.

Haink Pilate er-y-fa shen magh reesht, as dooyrt eh roo, Cur-my-ner, ta mish dy choyrt lhiam magh hiu eh, dy vod fys y ve eu nagh vel mish er gheddyn foill erbee ayn.

Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.

Eisht haink Yeesey magh, ceau yn attey dy ghrineyn as y coamrey purple. As dooyrt Pilate roo, Cur-jee my-ner yn dooinney.

Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man

Shen-y-fa tra honnick ny ard-saggyrtyn as ny fir-oik eh, deïe ad, gra, Jean y chrossey eh, jean y chrossey eh. Dooyrt Pilate roo, Gow-jee shiuish eh, as Jean-jee eh y chrossey: son cha vel mish er gheddyn foill er bee ayn.

When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him.

Dreggyr ny Hewnyn eh, Ta leigh ainyn, as liorish y leigh ain lhisagh eh v'er ny choyrt gy-baase, er-y-fa dy ghow eh er dy nee Mac Yee v'eh.

The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.

Tra cheayll Pilate er-y-fa shen yn raa shoh, v'eh ny s'agglee;

When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid;

As hie Pilate reesht gys halley ny briwnys, as dooyrt eh rish Yeesey, Cre voish t'ou? Agh cha dug Yeesey ansoor da.

And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.

Eisht dooyrt Pilate rish, Nagh loayr oo rhym's? nagh vel fys ayd dy vel pooar aym's dy dty chrossey, as pooar dy dty eaysley?

Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?

Dreggyr Yeesey, Cha voddagh pooar erbee y ve ayd harrym's, mannagh beagh eh er ny choyrt dhyt veih'n yrjid; shen-y-fa ta peccah smoo lhie ersyn ren m'y livrey hood.

Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.

As veih shen magh va Pilate shirrey dy eaysley eh: agh deïe ny Hewnyn, gra, My lhiggys oo yn raad da yn dooinney shoh, cha nee carrey da Cesar oo: quoi-erbee ta jannoo eh-hene ny ree, t'eh loayrt noi Cesar.

And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.

Tra cheayll Pilate er-y-fa shen yn raa shoh, hug eh lesh Yeesey magh, as hoie eh sheese er stoyl ny briwnys, ayns ynnyd ta enmyssit yn Pavement, agh ayns Hebrew, Gabbatha.

When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.

As she er laa aarlaghey ny Caisht ve, as mysh y cheyoo oor: as dooyrt eh rish ny Hewnyn, Cur-jee my-ner yn ree eu.

And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King

Agh dyllee ad, Ersooyl lesh, ersooyl lesh, jean y chrossey eh. Dooyrt Pilate roo, Jean-ym yn ree euish y chrossey? Dreggyr ny ard-saggyrtyn, Cha vel ree ainyn agh Cesar.

But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.

Er shoh ren eh eshyn y livrey huc dy ve er ny chrossey. As ghow ad Yeesey as leeid ad eh ersooyl.

Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.

As dymmyrk eh e chrosh, as hie eh magh gys ynnyd yiarragh ad ynnyd y vollag rish, ta enmyssit ayns Hebrew, Golgotha.

And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:

Raad ren ad eshyn y chrossey, as jees elley marish, fer er dagh cheu, as Yeesey ayns y vean.

Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.

As ren Pilate screeuyn, as hug eh er y chrosh eh. As va'n screeu, YEESEY DY NAZARETH REE NY HEWNYN.

And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.

Yn screeu shoh eisht ren ymmodee jeh ny Hewnyn y lhaih, son va'n boayl raad v'eh er ny chrossey er-gerrey da'n ard valley: as ve scruit ayns Hebrew, as Greek, as Latin.

This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.

Eisht dooyrt ard-saggyrtyn ny Hewnyn rish Pilate, Ny scrieu, Ree ny Hewnyn; agh dy dooyrt eh, She ree ny Hewnyn mee.

Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.

Dreggyr Pilate, Ny ta scruit aym, te scruit.

Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.

Eisht ghow ny sidooryn, tra v'ad er chrossey Yeesey, e gharmadyn (as ren ad kiare ayrnyn jeu, ayrn da dy chooilley hidoor) as myrgeddin e chooat: nish va'n cooat ooilley feeit, veih heose dy heese, fegooish seam.

Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.

Dooyrt ad er-y-fa shen nyn mast' oc hene, Ny lhig dooin y raipey eh, agh lhottyn y hilgey er, quoi echey vees eh: dy voddagh y scriptyr ve cooilleenit, ta gra, Reynn ad my gharmad nyn mast' oc, as er my chooat ren ad lottyn y hilgey. Shoh myr ren ny sidooryn.

They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.

Nish va nyn shassoo liorish crosh Yeesey, e voir, as shuyr e vayrey, Moirrey ben Cleophas, as Moirrey Malaine.

Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.

Tra honnick Yeesey er-y-fa shen e voir, as yn ostyl bynney lesh ny hassoo lioree, dooyrt eh rish e voir, Ven, cur-my-ner dty vac.

When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son

Eisht dooyrt eh rish yn ostyl, Cur-my-ner dty voir. As veih'n oor shen ghow yn ostyl ee gys e hie hene.

Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.

Ny lurg shoh, son dy row fys ec Yeesey dy row dy chooilley nhee nish cooilleenit, dy voddagh y scriptyr ve jeant mie, dooyrt eh, Ta mee paagh.

After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.

Nish va saagh er ny hoiaghey lane vinegar: as lhieen ad spunge lesh y vinegar, as hug ad eh er hyssop, as heeyn ad eh seose gys e veeal.

Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.

Tra va Yeesey er-y-fa shen er ghoaill y vinegar, dooyrt eh, Te cooilleenit: as chroym eh e chione, as phaart eh.

When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

Shen-y-fa son dy nee laa yn aarlaghey ve, as nagh beagh ny kirp er y chrosh er laa yn doonaght (son va'n doonaght shen ny ard-laa) ghuee ny Hewnyn er Pilate, ny lurgaghyn oc dy ve brisht, as ad dy ve goit ersooyl.

The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

Eisht haink ny sidooryn as vrish ad lurgaghyn y chied er, as y jeh elley v'er ny chrossey marish.

Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him.

Agh tra haink ad gys Yeesey, as dy vaik ad dy row eh hannah marroo, cha vrish ad ny lurgaghyn echeysyn.

But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:

Agh ren fer jeh ny sidooryn lesh shleiy yn lhiattee echey y hoylley, as chelleeragh haink magh ass fuill as ushtey.

But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.

As dymmyrk eshyn honnick eh feanish, as ta'n eanish echey firrinagh: as ta fys echey dy vel eh gra yn irriney, dy vod shiuish credjal.

And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.

Son liorish jannoo ny reddyn shoh va'n scriptyr cooilleenit, Cha bee craue jeh er ny vrishey.

For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.

As reesht ta scriptyr elley gra, Jeeaghee ad ersyn t'ad er hoylley.

And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.

As ny lurg shoh ren Joseph dy Arimathea (va fer jeh ynseydee Yeesey, agh dy follit, ayns aggle roish ny Hewnyn) guee er-Pilate, eh dy lhiggey da corp Yeesey y ghoaill ersooyl; as hug Pilate kied da: Haink eh er-y-fa shen, as hug eh lesh corp Yeesey.

And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus.

As haink myrgeddin Nicodemus (va roïe er jeet gys Yeesey ayns yn oie) as hug eh lesh mysh keead punt dy vyrrh as dy aloes kione y cheilley.

And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.

Eisht ghow ad corp Yeesey, as hoill ad eh ayns aanrityn, lesh spiceyn, myr va cliaghtey ny Hewnyn dy oanluckey.

Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.

Nish er-gerrey da'n ynnyd raad v'eh er ny chrossey, va garey; as ayns y gharey oaie noa, ayn nagh jagh rieau dooinney er coyrt.

Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid.

Ayns shen ren ad Yeesey er-y-fa shen y oanluckey, son dy nee laa aarlaghey ny Hewnyn ve, as dy row yn oaie er-gerrey daue.

There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.
