The Bible

1

Er y chiaghtoo vee, tra va cloan Israel ec fea ayns ny baljyn, ren y pobble adhene y haglym cooidjagh, myr un dooinney, ec Jerusalem.

And when the seventh month was come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem.

2

Eisht hass seose Jeshua mac Yozadak, as e vraaraghyn ny saggyrtyn, as Zerubbabel mac Shealtiel, as e vraaraghyn, as hrog ad altar Yee Israel, dy hebbal ourallyn-losht er, myr te scruit ayns leigh Voses, dooinney Yee.

Then stood up Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and builded the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings thereon, as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God.

3

As hoie ad yn altar er e ghrunt hene, (ga dy row ad ayns aggle roish sleih ny cheerey) as heb ad er ourallyn-losht gys y Chiarn, moghrey as fastyr.

And they set the altar upon his bases; for fear was upon them because of the people of those countries: and they offered burnt offerings thereon unto the Lord, even burnt offerings morning and evening.

4

Dreill ad myrgeddin feailley ny cabbaneyn, cordail rish y leigh, as heb ad ny ourallyn-losht gaghlaa rere nyn earroo, cordail rish y cliaghtey, myr va currym gagh laa dy hirrey.

They kept also the feast of tabernacles, as it is written, and offered the daily burnt offerings by number, according to the custom, as the duty of every day required;

5

As lurg shen heb ad yn oural-losht kinjagh, chammah jeh ny eaystyn-noa, as jeh ooilley feaillaghyn pointit y Chiarn, v'er ny chasherickey, as jeh dy chooilley unnane va chebbal dy aggindagh oural-arryltagh gys y Chiarn.

And afterward offered the continual burnt offering, both of the new moons, and of all the set feasts of the Lord that were consecrated, and of every one that willingly offered a freewill offering unto the Lord.

6

Veih'n chied laa jeh'n chiaghtoo vee ghow ad toshiaght dy hebbal ourallyn-losht gys y Chiarn, agh cha row undin chiamble y Chiarn foast er ny hoiaghey.

From the first day of the seventh month began they to offer burnt offerings unto the Lord. But the foundation of the temple of the Lord was not yet laid.

7

Hug ad argid myrgeddin da ny masoonee as ny seiyr, as bee, as jough, as ooil dauesyn jeh Zidon, as dauesyn jeh Tyre, dy choyrt lhieu biljyn-cedar veih Lebanon gys faarkey Joppa; cordail rish sarey Cyrus ree Phersia.

They gave money also unto the masons, and to the carpenters; and meat, and drink, and oil, unto them of Zidon, and to them of Tyre, to bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea of Joppa, according to the grant that they had of Cyrus king of Persia.

8

Nish, ayns y nah vleïn lurg daue v'er jeet dy hroggal thie Yee ec Jerusalem, ayns y nah vee, ghow Zerubbabel mac Shealtiel toshiaght marish Jeshua mac Yozadak, as y chooid elley jeh nyn mraaraghyn, ny saggyrtyn, as ny Leviteyn, as ooilley ny v'er jeet ass y chappeeys gys Jerusalem, as doardee ad ny Leviteyn, veih feed bleïn dy eash, as erskyn, dy choyrt er y hoshiaght obbyr thie'n Chiarn:

Now in the second year of their coming unto the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the remnant of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all they that were come out of the captivity unto Jerusalem; and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to set forward the work of the house of the Lord.

9

Eisht hass Jeshua, marish e vec as e vraaraghyn Kadmiel as e vec, mec Yudah lesh y cheilley, dy choyrt er nyn doshiaght ny obbreeyn ayns thie Yee: mec Henadad, marish nyn mec as nyn mraaraghyn ny Leviteyn.

Then stood Jeshua with his sons and his brethren, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, together, to set forward the workmen in the house of God: the sons of Henadad, with their sons and their brethren the Levites.

10

As myr va ny masoonee layal undin chiamble y Chiarn, hass ny saggyrtyn ayns nyn goamraghyn, lesh trumpetyn, as ny Leviteyn mec Asaph lesh cymballyn, dy choyrt moylley da'n Chiarn, lurg oardagh Ghavid ree Israel.

And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the Lord, they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the Lord, after the ordinance of David king of Israel.

11

As hie ad lesh arraneyn-moyllee gansoor y cheilley, coyrt moylley as booise da'n Chiarn; er-yn-oyr dy vel eh graysoil, son ta e vyghin farraghtyn son dy bragh gys Israel. As dyllee ooilley'n pobble lesh ard choraa tra hug ad moylley da'n Chiarn, er-yn-oyr dy row undin thie'n Chiarn layit.

And they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks unto the Lord; because he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the Lord, because the foundation of the house of the Lord was laid.

12

Agh ren ymmodee jeh ny saggyrtyn as Leviteyn, as ny ard-ayraghyn, ny shenn gheiney v'er vakin y chied chiamble, tra va undin y thie shoh layit kiongoyrt rish nyn sooillyn, keayney lesh ard choraa, choud as va ymmodee elley gyllagh dy ard son boggey.

But many of the priests and Levites and chief of the fathers, who were ancient men, that had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice; and many shouted aloud for joy:

13

Myr shen nagh voddagh y pobble baght y ghoaill jeh feiyr yn eam son boggey, shaghey feiyr yn yllagh son trimshey: son dyllee yn pobble lesh ard choraa, as va'n feiyr er ny chlashtyn foddey jeh.

So that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people: for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off.
