The Bible

1

Dooisht oo, dooisht oo; cur mood dty niart, O Zion, cur mood dty gharmadyn aalin, O Yerusalem, yn ard-valley casherick: veih shoh magh cha jig ny smoo stiagh aynyd's ny chymmyltee as y neu-ghlen.

Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.

2

Crie oo hene veih'n joan; trog ort, as soie sheese er dty stoyl-reeoil, O Yerusalem: feayshil geulaghyn dty wannal, O inneen chappee Zion.

Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion.

3

Son myr shoh ta'n Chiarn gra, Ta shiu er ve creckit nastee; as bee shiu er ny chionnaghey reesht fegooish argid.

For thus saith the Lord, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money.

4

Son myr shoh ta'n Chiarn Jee dy ghra, Hie my phobble sheese traa dy row gys Egypt er nyn yoarreeaght; as ren yn Assyrian tranlaase orroo gyn oyr.

For thus saith the Lord God, My people went down aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.

5

Nish er-y-fa shen, cre t'aym dy yannoo ny-sodjey roo shoh, ta'n Chiarn gra, dy vel my phobble goit ersooyl son veg? T'adsyn ta reill harrystoo coyrt orroo dobberan, ta'n Chiarn dy ghra, as ta my ennym gagh-laa dy kinjagh er ny oltooan.

Now therefore, what have I here, saith the Lord, that my people is taken away for nought? they that rule over them make them to howl, saith the Lord; and my name continually every day is blasphemed.

6

Shen-y-fa bee enney ec y pobble er my ennym: shen-y-fa yiow ad fys er y laa shen dy nee mish mee hene eh ta loayrt; cur-my-ner, she mish eh.

Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I.

7

Cre cha aalin er ny sleityn ta ny cassyn echeysyn ta coyrt lesh naightyn bannee [yn tushtal], ta preacheil shee, ta coyrt lesh naightyn eunyssagh dy nheeghyn mie, ta fockley-magh saualtys, ta gra rish Zion, Ta dty Yee reill!

How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth

8

Nee ny arreyderyn ayd's troggal seose nyn goraa; lesh yn un choraa nee ad kiaulleeaght: son hee ad y cheilley sooill ry sooill, tra ver y Chiarn lesh Zion dy valley reesht.

Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the Lord shall bring again Zion.

9

Brish-jee magh ayns boggey, gow-jee lesh yn arrane dy cheilley, shiuish ynnydyn faase Yerusalem: son ta'n Chiarn er gherjaghey e phobble, t'eh reesht er livrey Jerusalem:

Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for the Lord hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.

10

Ta'n Chiarn er roostey e roih casherick ayns shilley ooilley Dy ashoonee; as nee dy chooilley ard sodjey magh jeh'n theihll cur-my-ner saualtys yn Jee ain.

The Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.

11

Scugh-jee, scugh-jee, reue-jee magh veih shen, ny benn-jee rish yn red neu-ghlen; tar-jee magh veih ny mast' eck, bee-jee glen ta gymmyrkey siyn y Chiarn.

Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the Lord.

12

Son cha jed shiu magh ayns siyr, ny roie er-chea: son hed y Chiarn rhymbiu; as bee Jee Israel fendeilagh er nyn gooyl.

For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the Lord will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rereward.

13

Cur-my-ner, nee my harvaant eh-hene y ymmyrkey dy creeney, bee eh er ny ghloyraghey as er ny voylley, as feer ard ayns ooashley.

Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.

14

Myr va ymmodee goaill yindys jeed; (va e eddin jeant ny s'eajee na eddin dooinney erbee, as e chummey ny smessey na veg jeh cloan gheiney;)

As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:

15

Myr shen nee eh skeayley yindys harrish ymmodee ashoonyn; bee beïll ny reeaghyn nyn-dhost kiongoyrt rish: son nee ad fakin shen nagh row inshit daue, as ver ad my-ner shen nagh row ad er chlashtyn.

So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider.
