Yn goo haink gys Jeremiah veih'n Chiarn, tra hug ree Zedekiah er chaghteraght huggey Pashur mac Velchiah, as Zephaniah mac Vaaseiah yn saggyrt, gra,

The word which came unto Jeremiah from the Lord, when king Zedekiah sent unto him Pashur the son of Melchiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, saying,

Jean briaght, ta mee guee ort, jeh'n Chiarn er y hon ain, son ta Nebuchadrezzar ree Vabylon caggey nyn'oï; my she shen dy jean y Chiarn dellal rooin cordail rish ooilley e obbraghyn yindyssagh, as eh y chastey.

Enquire, I pray thee, of the Lord for us; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon maketh war against us; if so be that the Lord will deal with us according to all his wondrous works, that he may go up from us.

Eisht dooyrt Jeremiah roo, Shoh myr nee shiu gra rish Zedekiah,

Then said Jeremiah unto them, Thus shall ye say to Zedekiah:

Myr shoh ta'n Chiarn Jee Israel dy ghra, Cur-my-ner, chyndaa-ym ny greinyn-caggee t'ayns ny laueyn euish, lhieu ta shiu caggey noi ree Vabylon, as noi ny Caldeanee, ta chionney shiu stiagh lesh caggey cheumooie nyn voallaghyn, as nee'm ad y haglym gys mean yn ard-valley shoh.

Thus saith the Lord God of Israel; Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, wherewith ye fight against the king of Babylon, and against the Chaldeans, which besiege you without the walls, and I will assemble them into the midst of this city.

As neem's mee hene caggey nyn'oï lesh laue sheeynt-magh, as lesh roih niartal, eer ayns corree, as ayns elgys, as ayns jymmoose dewil.

And I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath.

As bwoaill-yms cummaltee yn ard-valley shoh, chammah dooinney as baagh; yiow ad baase liorish cragh paittoil.

And I will smite the inhabitants of this city, both man and beast: they shall die of a great pestilence.

As ny lurg shen, ta'n Chiarn dy ghra, neem's Zedekiah ree Yudah as e harvaantyn, as e phobble, as fooilliagh y chramp 'syn ard-valley shoh, as ny ta faagit veih'n chliwe, as veih'n ghortey, y livrey gys laue Nebuchadrezzar ree Vabylon, as gys laue nyn noidyn, as gys y laue ocsyn ta shirrey nyn mioys: as nee eh ad y woalley lesh foyr y chliwe; cha jean eh foayr y yeeaghyn daue, chamoo vees chymmey ny myghin echey orroo.

And afterward, saith the Lord, I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, and his servants, and the people, and such as are left in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those that seek their life: and he shall smite them with the edge of the sword; he shall not spare them, neither have pity, nor have mercy.

As rish y pobble shoh nee oo gra, Shoh myr ta'n Chiarn dy ghra; Cur-my-ner, ta mee soiaghey kiongoyrt riu raad y vea, as raad y vaaish.

And unto this people thou shalt say, Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I set before you the way of life, and the way of death.

Eshyn ta fuirriaghtyn 'syn ard-valley shoh, yiow eh baase lesh y chliwe, as lesh y ghortey, as lesh y chramp: agh eshyn hed magh, as livrey-ys seose eh-hene gys ny Caldeanee ta chionney stiagh shiu, bee eh bio, as bee e vioys son cosney da.

He that abideth in this city shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth out, and falleth to the Chaldeans that besiege you, he shall live, and his life shall be unto him for a prey.

Son ta mee er hoiaghey m'eddin noi'n ard-valley shoh, son olk, as cha nee son mie, ta'n Chiarn dy ghra; bee eh er ny livrey gys laue ree Vabylon, as loshtee eshyn eh lesh aile.

For I have set my face against this city for evil, and not for good, saith the Lord: it shall be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire.

As mychione thie ree Yudah, abbyr, Clasht-jee goo yn Chiarn;

And touching the house of the king of Judah, say, Hear ye the word of the Lord;

O hie Ghavid, myr shoh ta'n Chiarn dy ghra, Cur-jee briwnys cairagh 'sy voghrey, as livrey-jee eshyn ta tranlaasit ass laue yn tranlaasagh, er-aggle dy jed m'eulys magh myr aile, as lostey nagh vod unnane erbee y vooghey eh, kyndagh rish olkys nyn ghrogh-yannoo.

O house of David, thus saith the Lord; Execute judgment in the morning, and deliver him that is spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my fury go out like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.

Cur-my-ner, ta mish dt'oï's, O chummaltagh ny glionney, as carrick yn thalloo injil, ta'n Chiarn dy ghra; ayd ta'n raa shoh, Quoi hig sheese nyn'oï? ny quoi sloys cheet stiagh er ny ynnydyn-vaghee ain?

Behold, I am against thee, O inhabitant of the valley, and rock of the plain, saith the Lord; which say, Who shall come down against us? or who shall enter into our habitations?

Agh neem's shiu y smaghtaghey cordail rish mess nyn obbraghyn, ta'n Chiarn dy ghra: as nee'm aile y oaddey 'sy cheyll echey, as nee eh stroie dy chooilley nhee mygeayrt-y-mysh.

But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings, saith the Lord: and I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and it shall devour all things round about it.
