The Bible

1

Lesh y Chiarn y thalloo, as ooilley ny t'ayn: combaase y theihll, as adsyn ta baghey ayn.

The earth is the Lord's, and all that therein is: the compass of the world, and they that dwell therein.

2

Son t'eh er hoiaghey eh er ny faarkaghyn: as er hickyraghey eh er ny thooillaghyn.

For he hath founded it upon the seas: and prepared it upon the floods.

3

Quoi eh hed seose er cronk y Chiarn; ny quoi vees cooie dy hassoo ayns e ynnyd casherick?

Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord: or who shall rise up in his holy place?

4

Eshyn eh ta laueyn glen echey, as cree gyn loght: as nagh vel er hoiaghey e aigney er foalsaght, as nagh vel er ghoaill loo dy volley e naboo.

Even he that hath clean hands, and a pure heart: and that hath not lift up his mind unto vanity, nor sworn to deceive his neighbour.

5

Yiow eshyn yn bannaght veih'n Chiarn: as cairys veih Jee e haualtys.

He shall receive the blessing from the Lord: and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

6

Shoh'n sheeloghe ocsyn ta dy hirrey eh: jeusyn dy jarroo ta shirrey dt' eddin, O Yacob.

This is the generation of them that seek him: even of them that seek thy face, O Jacob.

7

Trog-jee seose nyn ghing, O shiuish yiattyn, as bee-jee er nyn droggal seose, shiuish ghorryssyn dy bragh farraghtyn: as hig ree ny ghloyr stiagh.

Lift up your heads, O ye gates, and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors: and the King of glory shall come in.

8

Quoi ta ree ny ghloyr: yn Chiarn eh ta lajer as niartal, yn Chiarn hene niartal ayns caggey.

Who is the King of glory: it is the Lord strong and mighty, even the Lord mighty in battle.

9

Trog-jee seose nyn ghing, O shiuish yiattyn, as bee-jee er nyn droggal seose shiuish ghorryssyn dy bragh farraghtyn: as hig Ree ny ghloyr stiagh.

Lift up your heads, O ye gates, and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors: and the King of glory shall come in.

10

Quoi ta ree ny ghloyr; dy jarroo yn Chiarn dy heshaght-chaggee, eshyn ree ny ghloyr.

Who is the King of glory: even the Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory.
