The Bible

Ny share ta'n boght ta gimmeeaght ayns e ynrickys, na eh ta camlaagagh ayns e veillyn, as ny ommydan.

Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.

Myrgeddin dy bee yn annym fegooish ynsagh cha vel eh mie: as eshyn ta ro hiyragh, nee eh tuittym ayns peccah.

Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.

A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.

Ta deiney-mooinjer y voght ooilley dy choyrt cooyl rish: cre-woad smoo ta e chaarjyn goll foddey veih? t'eh geiyrt orroo lesh e ghoan, agh cha vel geill oo da.

All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him.

Eh ta geddyn creenaght, shynney lesh e annym hene: eshyn freillys tushtey yiow eh mie.

He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.

Cha bee feanish foalsey fegooish kerraghey, as nee yn breagerey dy shickyr cherraghtyn.

A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.

Cha vel pooar cooie son ommydan: foddey sloo son sharvaant dy reill harrish princeyn.

Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.

Ta keeayl dooinney dy chastey e chorree: as te yn ghloyr echey [ny cheayrtyn] dy lhiggey lesh yn aggair.

The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.

Eshyn ta giastyllagh da ny boghtyn, t'eh geeasaght da'n Chiarn: as son shen t'eh myr shoh dy vaarail, bee eh er ny eeck da reesht.

He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.

Smaghtee dty vac, choud as ta caslys dy yannoo mie jeh, agh ny cur raad da dewilys neu-chooie.

The fear of the Lord tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.

Ta'n litcher liastey follaghtyn e laue ayns e vroghil, as s'coan nee eh wheesh troggal eh gys e veeal.
