The Bible

1

Uss myrgeddin, vac y dooinney, gow hood lhiack, as lhieg royd eh, as tayrn er yn ard-valley, eer Jerusalem.

Thou also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and pourtray upon it the city, even Jerusalem:

2

As cruinnee stiagh ee, as trog toor noi eck, as ceau seose carnane noi eck: jean campal myrgeddin noi eck, as soie greïnyn-bwoailtagh dy lhieggal ny voallaghyn eck ooilley mygeayrt.

And lay siege against it, and build a fort against it, and cast a mount against it; set the camp also against it, and set battering rams against it round about.

3

Ny-sodjey gow hood pot yiarn, as soie eh son voalley yiarn, eddyr uss as yn ard-valley, as soie dty eddin n'oï, as bee eh cruinnit mygeayrt, as nee oo chionney stiagh eh: shoh vees cowrey da thie Israel.

Moreover take thou unto thee an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between thee and the city: and set thy face against it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel.

4

lhie uss myrgeddin er dty lhiattee chiare, as cur mee chairys thie Israel er cordail rish earroo ny laghyn nee oo lhie er, nee oo yn vee-chairys oc y ymmyrkey.

Lie thou also upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it: according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon it thou shalt bear their iniquity.

5

Son ta mee er lhie ort's bleeantyn nyn mee-chairys, cordail rish earroo ny laghyn, three cheead kiare-feed as jeih laghyn: myr shen nee uss mee-chairys thie Israel y ymmyrkey.

For I have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.

6

As tra t'ou er chooilleeney ad, lhie reesht er dty lhiattee yesh, as nee oo gymmyrkey mee-chairys thie Yudah da-eed laa: ta mee er n'oardagh dhyt dagh laa son bleïn.

And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year.

7

As nee oo dty eddin y hoiaghey noi Jerusalem, t'er ny hionney stiagh, as bee dty roih rooisht, as nee oo phadeyrys noi eck.

Therefore thou shalt set thy face toward the siege of Jerusalem, and thine arm shall be uncovered, and thou shalt prophesy against it.

8

As cur-my-ner, ver-yms geulaghyn ort, nagh jean oo chyndaa oo hene veih lhiattee gy lhiattee, derrey t'ou er chooilleeney laghyn dty chaggey.

And, behold, I will lay bands upon thee, and thou shalt not turn thee from one side to another, till thou hast ended the days of thy siege.

9

Gow hood myrgeddin curnaght, as oarn, as poanrey, as pishyr, as millet, as pishyr-lughag, as cur 'syn un saagh ad, as jean arran jeu, cordail rish earroo ny laghyn lhie-ys oo er dty lhiattee, three cheead kiare-feed as jeih laghyn nee oo gee jeh.

Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof, according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon thy side, three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat thereof.

10

As dty vee t'ou dy ee, bee eh ayns towse, feed shekel 'sy laa: veih traa gys traa ee-ys oo eh.

And thy meat which thou shalt eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shalt thou eat it.

11

Nee oo myrgeddin giu ushtey liorish towse, y cheyoo ayrn jeh kaart: veih traa gys traa nee oo giu eh.

Thou shalt drink also water by measure, the sixth part of an hin: from time to time shalt thou drink.

12

As nee oo gee eh myr berreenyn oarn, as nee oo broie eh 'sy chilley oc lesh toarey dooinney.

And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with dung that cometh out of man, in their sight.

13

As dooyrt y Chiarn, Eer myr shoh nee cloan Israel nyn arran sollit y ee mastey ny ashoonee, raad neem's y eiyrt ad.

And the Lord said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, whither I will drive them.

14

Eisht dooyrt mee, Ah Hiarn Yee, cur-my-ner, cha vel my annym er ve rieau neu-ghlen: son veih my aegid seose, eer derrey nish, cha vel mee er n'ee jeh shen t'er n'gheddyn baase jeh hene, ny raipit ayns peeshyn, chamoo haink feill vee-lowit stiagh my veeal.

Then said I, Ah Lord God! behold, my soul hath not been polluted: for from my youth up even till now have I not eaten of that which dieth of itself, or is torn in pieces; neither came there abominable flesh into my mouth.

15

Eisht dooyrt eh rhym, Cur-my-ner, ta mee er choyrt dhyt eoylley ollee son eoylley dooinney as lesh shen nee oo gaarlagh dty arran.

Then he said unto me, Lo, I have given thee cow's dung for man's dung, and thou shalt prepare thy bread therewith.

16

Ny-sodjey, dooyrt eh rhym, Vac y dooinney, cur-my-ner, neem's bun yn arran y vrishey ayns Jerusalem, as nee ad arran y ee liorish towse, as thanvaneys.

Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with care; and they shall drink water by measure, and with astonishment:

17

Dy vod ad ve ayns feme arran as ushtey, as fo atchim yn derrey yeh lesh yn jeh elley, as goll neeu kyndagh rish nyn mee-chairys.

That they may want bread and water, and be astonied one with another, and consume away for their iniquity.
