The Bible

1

O tar-jee, lhig dooin arrane y ghoaill gys y Chiarn: lhig dooin dy creeoil boggey 'ghoaill ayns niart nyn saualtys.

O come, let us sing unto the Lord: let us heartily rejoice in the strength of our salvation.

2

Lhig dooin cheet kiongoyrt rish yn enish echey lesh toyrt-booise: as soilshaghey shin hene gennal aynsyn lesh arraneyn-moyllee.

Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving: and shew ourselves glad in him with psalms.

3

Son ta'n Chiarn ny Yee mooar: as ny Ree mooar erskyn dy chooilley Yee.

For the Lord is a great God: and a great King above all gods.

4

Ayns y laue echeysyn ta ooilley corneilyn y thallooin: as niart ny croink she leshyn eh myrgeddin.

In his hand are all the corners of the earth: and the strength of the hills is his also.

5

Yn faarkey she leshyn eh, as eh ren eh: as ny laueyn echeysyn ren aarloo yn thalloo chirrym.

The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands prepared the dry land.

6

O tar-jee, lhig dooin ooashley y choyrt, as tuittym sheese: as gliooney kiongoyrt rish y Chiarn y Fer ren shin.

O come, let us worship and fall down: and kneel before the Lord our Maker.

7

Son eshyn y Chiarn y Jee ain: as shinyn pobble e phastyr, as kirree e laue.

For he is the Lord our God: and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand.

8

Jiu my nee shiu clashtyn e choraa, ny creoi-jee nyn greeaghyn: myr ayns y vrasnagh, as ayns laa yn violagh ayns yn aasagh;

To-day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts: as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness;

9

Tra ren ny ayraghyn eu mish y vrasnaghey: phrow ad mee, as honnick ad m'obbraghyn.

When your fathers tempted me: proved me, and saw my works.

10

Da-eed bleïn liauyr va mee corree rish y cheeloghe shoh, as dooyrt mee: She pobble ad ta goll er-shaghryn ayns nyn greeaghyn, son cha vel enney er ve oc er my raaidyn.

Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said: It is a people that do err in their hearts, for they have not known my ways;

11

Dauesyn loo mee ayns my chorree: nagh ragh ad stiagh ayns m'ea.

Unto whom I sware in my wrath: that they should not enter into my rest.
