1

Ad shoh ny slattyssyn as ny briwnyssyn, vees shiu imneagh dy chooilleeney ayns y cheer ta'n Chiarn Jee dty ayraghyn ry-hoi coyrt dhyt, dy ghoaill possession jeh, ooilley ny laghyn vees shiu bio er y thalloo.

These are the statutes and judgments, which ye shall observe to do in the land, which the Lord God of thy fathers giveth thee to possess it, all the days that ye live upon the earth.

2

Ver shiu dy bollagh naardey dy chooilley ynnyd, raad ren ny ashoonyn, vees eu son eiraght, shirveish ny jeeghyn ocsyn, er ny sleityn ard, as er ny croink, as fo dy chooilley villey glass.

Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which ye shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree:

3

As nee shiu lhieggal ny altaryn oc, as brishey ny pillaryn, as lostey ny keylljyn oc lesh aile, as nee shiu giarey sheese jallooyn grainnit ny jeeghyn oc, as nyn enmyn y stroie ass yn ynnyd shen.

And ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place.

4

Cha nee er yn aght shoh nee shiu shirveish y Chiarn y Jee eu.

Ye shall not do so unto the Lord your God.

5

Agh gys yn ynnyd, nee'n Chiarn nyn Yee y reih ass ooilley ny tribeyn eu, dy chur e ennym ayn, eer ayns e ynnyd-vaghee hene nee shiu shirrey, as gys shen nee shiu cheet:

But unto the place which the Lord your God shall choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, even unto his habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come:

6

As gys shen ver shiu lhieu ny ourallyn-losht, as ny chebballyn, as ny jagheenyn eu, as ourallyn-troggit-seose nyn laue, as ny breearraghyn, as ny ourallyn-arryltagh eu, as y chied ingan jeh ny shellooyn, as ny shioltaneyn eu.

And thither ye shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and heave offerings of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill offerings, and the firstlings of your herds and of your flocks:

7

As ayns shen nee shiu gee kiongoyrt rish y Chiarn y Jee eu, as nee shiu boggey 'ghoaill ayns ooilley ny ta shiu coyrt nyn laue huggey, shiu hene as y vooinjer eu, lesh shen ta'n Chiarn dty Yee er dty vannaghey

And there ye shall eat before the Lord your God, and ye shall rejoice in all that ye put your hand unto, ye and your households, wherein the Lord thy God hath blessed thee.

8

Cha jean shiu ayns shen, myr ta shin nish dy yannoo ayns shoh. dy chooilley ghooinney myr saillish hene.

Ye shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, every man whatsoever is right in his own eyes.

9

Son cha vel shiu foast er jeet gys y boayl dy aash, as gys yn eiraght ta'n Chiarn nyn Yee ry-hoi coyrt diu.

For ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, which the Lord your God giveth you.

10

Agh tra hed shiu harrish Jordan, as cummal 'sy cheer ta'n Chiarn nyn Yee dy choyrt diu son eiraght, as tra ver eh fea diu veih ooilley nyn noidyn er dy chooilley heu; myr shen dy bee shiu cummal ayns sauchys:

But when ye go over Jordan, and dwell in the land which the Lord your God giveth you to inherit, and when he giveth you rest from all your enemies round about, so that ye dwell in safety;

11

Shen y raad vees ynnyd nee'n Chiarn nyn Yee y reih, dy choyrt e ennym ayn, gys shen ver shiu lhieu ooilley ny ta mee dy harey diu, ny ourallyn-losht eu, ny chebballyn, ny jagheenyn, as oural-troggit-seose nyn laue, as y reih jeh dy chooilley vreearrey arryltagh, ta shiu dy yannoo gys y Chiarn.

Then there shall be a place which the Lord your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there; thither shall ye bring all that I command you; your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow unto the Lord:

12

As nee shiu boggey 'ghoaill kiongoyrt rish y Chiarn nyn Yee, shiu hene, as nyn mec, as nyn inneenyn, nyn fir-vooinjerey as nyn inneenyn-veyl, as y Levite t'er cheusthie jeh dty yiattyn; er-yn-oyr nagh vel echeysyn ayrn ny eiraght erbee mêriu.

And ye shall rejoice before the Lord your God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your menservants, and your maidservants, and the Levite that is within your gates; forasmuch as he hath no part nor inheritance with you.

13

Cur twoaie dhyt hene nagh jeb oo dty ourallyn-losht ayns dy chooilley ynnyd t'ou dy akin.

Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt offerings in every place that thou seest:

14

Agh ayns yn ynnyd, nee'n Chiarn dty Yee y reih ayns unnane jeh dty hribeyn ayns shen nee oo chebbal dty ourallyn-losht, as ayns shen nee oo ooilley ny ta mee dy dty harey.

But in the place which the Lord shall choose in one of thy tribes, there thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, and there thou shalt do all that I command thee.

15

Ny-yeih, foddee oo marroo as gee feill ayns ooilley dty yiattyn, cre-erbee ta dty chree dy yeearree, cordail rish y vannaght ta'n Chiarn dty Yee er choyrt dhyt: foddee chammah yn neu-ghlen as y ghlen gee jeh myr jeh feill feïeys erbee.

Notwithstanding thou mayest kill and eat flesh in all thy gates, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, according to the blessing of the Lord thy God which he hath given thee: the unclean and the clean may eat thereof, as of the roebuck, and as of the hart.

16

Agh yn uill cha jean shiu gee; nee shiu deayrtey eh er y thalloo myr ushtey.

Only ye shall not eat the blood; ye shall pour it upon the earth as water.

17

Cha n'ee oo er cheu-sthie jeh dty yiattyn jaghee dty arroo, ny dty feeyn, ny dty ooil, ny yn chied ingan jeh dty hellooyn, ny jeh dty hioltane, ny jeh veg jeh dty vreearraghyn t'ou er n'yannoo, ny dty ourallyn-arryltagh, ny oural-troggit seose dty laue:

Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, or of thy wine, or of thy oil, or the firstlings of thy herds or of thy flock, nor any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy freewill offerings, or heave offering of thine hand:

18

Agh shegin dhyt ad y vaarail kiongoyrt rish y Chiarn dty Yee, ayns yn ynnyd nee'n Chiarn dty Yee y reih, oo hene, as dty vac, as dty inneen, as dty er-mooinjerey, as dty inney-veyl, as y Levite t'er cheu-sthie jeh dty yiattyn: as nee oo boggey 'ghoaill kiongoyrt rish y Chiarn dty Yee ayns ooilley ny t'ou goaill ayns laue.

But thou must eat them before the Lord thy God in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates: and thou shalt rejoice before the Lord thy God in all that thou puttest thine hands unto.

19

Bee er dty hwoaie, nagh dreig oo yn Levite, choud as vees oo bio er y thalloo.

Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the Levite as long as thou livest upon the earth.

20

Tra nee yn Chiarn dty Yee dty chagliagh y heeyney magh, myr yiall eh dhyt, as dy jir oo, Nee'm gee feill (son dy vel dty aigney dy ee feill) foddee oo gee keint erbee dy eill ta aigney ayd er.

When the Lord thy God shall enlarge thy border, as he hath promised thee, and thou shalt say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul longeth to eat flesh; thou mayest eat flesh, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.

21

My vees yn ynnyd ta'n Chiarn dty Yee er reih dy choyrt e ennym ayn, roud voïd; eisht nee oo marroo jeh dty helloo as dty hioltane, ta'n Chiarn er choyrt dhyt, myr ta mee er dty harey, as nee oo gee ec dty hie hene, cre-erbee ta dty aigney cur mian da.

If the place which the Lord thy God hath chosen to put his name there be too far from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy herd and of thy flock, which the Lord hath given thee, as I have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat in thy gates whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.

22

Myr ta feill feïeys erbee er ny ee, nee uss myrgeddin gee eh: nee yn neu-ghlen as y ghlen gee jeh co-laik.

Even as the roebuck and the hart is eaten, so thou shalt eat them: the unclean and the clean shall eat of them alike.

23

Agh jeeagh nagh n'ee oo yn uill; son ta'n uill yn vioys, as cha jean oo gee yn vioys marish yn eill.

Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood is the life; and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh.

24

Cha jean oo gee eh; nee oo deayrtey eh er y thalloo myr ushtey.

Thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it upon the earth as water.

25

Cha jean oo gee eh, dy vod oo hene ve maynrey as dty chloan dty yeï, tra nee oo shen ny ta cairagh ayns shilley'n Chiarn.

Thou shalt not eat it; that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the Lord.

26

Agh dty reddyn casherick, as dty vreearaghyn, nee oo goaill, as cur lhiat gys yn ynnyd, nee'n Chiarn y reih:

Only thy holy things which thou hast, and thy vows, thou shalt take, and go unto the place which the Lord shall choose:

27

As nee oo chebbal dty ourallyn-losht, yn eill as yn uill, er altar yn Chiarn dty Yee: as bee fuill dty ourallyn er ny gheayrtey magh er altar y Chiarn dty Yee: as nee oo gee yn eill.

And thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of the Lord thy God: and the blood of thy sacrifices shall be poured out upon the altar of the Lord thy God, and thou shalt eat the flesh.

28

Cur tastey, as eaisht rish ooilley ny goan shoh ta mee dy harey dhyt, dy vod oo hene as dty chloan dty lurg ve maynrey son dy bragh, tra t'ou jannoo shen ny ta mie as cairagh ayns shilley yn Chiarn dty Yee.

Observe and hear all these words which I command thee, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee for ever, when thou doest that which is good and right in the sight of the Lord thy God.

29

Tra nee yn Chiarn dty Yee giarey jeh ny ashoonyn t'ou dy ghoaill ayns possession, as tra vees eiraght as cummal ayd 'sy cheer oc:

When the Lord thy God shall cut off the nations from before thee, whither thou goest to possess them, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their land;

30

Cur twoaie dhyt hene, nagh bee oo cleaynit dy eiyrt er ny cliaghtaghyn oc, lurg daue v'er nyn stroie, as nagh brie oo lurg ny jeeghyn oc, gra, Cre'n-aght ren ny ashoonyn shoh ny jeeghyn oc y hirveish? neem's eer myrgeddin.

Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.

31

Cha nee myr shoh nee oo rish y Chiarn dty Yee: son dy chooilley pheccah dwoaiagh as feohdoil gys y Chiarn, t'adsyn er n'yannoo gys ny jeeghyn oc: son eer nyn mec as inneenyn t'ad er lostey 'syn aile, gys ny jeeghyn oc.

Thou shalt not do so unto the Lord thy God: for every abomination to the Lord, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.

32

Cre-erbee ta mee dy harey diu, gow-jee tastey dy yannoo eh: cha der shiu veg huggey, ny veg y ghoaill veih.

What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.
