Haink goo yn Chiarn reesht hym, gra,

The word of the Lord also came unto me, saying,

2

Vac y dooinney, t'ou cummal ayns mean thie mee-viallagh, ta sooillyn oc dy akin, as cha vel ad fakin; as cleayshyn oc dy chlashtyn, as cha vel ad clashtyn: son t'ad thie mee-viallagh.

Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a rebellious house.

3

Shen-y-fa, uss vac y dooinney, fow dty chooid aarloo son arraghey, as jean scughey 'sy laa ayns nyn shilley, as nee oo scughey veih dty ynnyd-vaghee gys ynnyd elley ayns nyn shilley; hoiggal, dy gow ad gys nyn gree eh, ga dy vel ad thie mee-viallagh,

Therefore, thou son of man, prepare thee stuff for removing, and remove by day in their sight; and thou shalt remove from thy place to another place in their sight: it may be they will consider, though they be a rebellious house.

4

Eisht ver oo lhiat magh dty stoo-thie 'sy laa, ayns y chilley oc, myr cooid ry-hoi arraghey: as hed oo magh ec yn astyr ayns nyn shilley, myr adsyn ta dy gholl magh gys cappeeys

Then shalt thou bring forth thy stuff by day in their sight, as stuff for removing: and thou shalt go forth at even in their sight, as they that go forth into captivity.

5

Cleiy uss baarney trooid v voalley ayns nyn shilley, as cur lhiat magh dty chooid er.

Dig thou through the wall in their sight, and carry out thereby.

6

Ayns y chilley oc ver oo lhiat eh er dty gheayltyn, as hed oo magh lesh y cho-lheayrtys, as nee oo dty eddin y choodaghey, nagh vaik oo yn thalloo: son ta mee er hoiaghey oo son cowrey da thie Israel.

In their sight shalt thou bear it upon thy shoulders, and carry it forth in the twilight: thou shalt cover thy face, that thou see not the ground: for I have set thee for a sign unto the house of Israel.

7

As ren mee myr va mee er my harey: hug mee lhiam magh my chooid 'sy laa, myr chooid ry-hoi cappeeys, as ec yn astyr, chleiy mee trooid y voalley lesh my laue, hug mee lhiam magh eh ayns y cho-lheayrtys, as dymmyrk mee eh er my gheayltyn ayns y chilley oc.

And I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff for captivity, and in the even I digged through the wall with mine hand; I brought it forth in the twilight, and I bare it upon my shoulder in their sight.

8

As ayns y voghrey haink goo yn Chiarn hym, gra,

And in the morning came the word of the Lord unto me, saying,

9

Vac y dooinney, nagh vel thie Israel, yn thie mee-viallagh shen, er ghra rhyt, Cre shoh t'ou mish?

Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said unto thee, What doest thou?

10

Abbyr uss roosyn, Myr shoh ta'n Chiarn Jee dy ghra, Ta'n errey shoh bentyn rish y phrince ayns Jerusalem, as ooilley thie Israel ta ny mast' oc.

Say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; This burden concerneth the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel that are among them.

11

Abbyr roo, Ta mish son cowrey diu; myr ta mish er n'yannoo, shen myr vees eh jeant roosyn: nee ad garraghey, as goll ayns cappeeys.

Say, I am your sign: like as I have done, so shall it be done unto them: they shall remove and go into captivity.

12

As y prince ta ny mast' oc, nee eh gymmyrkey er e gheaylin 'sy cho-lheayrtys, as hed eh magh: nee ad jannoo baarney trooid y voalley, dy chur lhieu magh ny-hrooid: nee eh e eddin y choodaghey, nagh vaik eh yn thalloo lesh e hooillyn.

And the prince that is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the twilight, and shall go forth: they shall dig through the wall to carry out thereby: he shall cover his face, that he see not the ground with his eyes.

13

My lieen myrgeddin neem's skeayley ersyn, as bee eh goit ayns my ribbey; as ver-ym lhiam eh gys Babylon, cheer ny Caldeanee, ny-yeih cha jean eh fakin eh, ga dy vow eh baase ayns shen.

My net also will I spread upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare: and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet shall he not see it, though he shall die there.

14

As skeayl-yms lesh dy chooilley gheay, ooilley ny ta mygeayrt-y-mysh dy chooney lesh, as ooilley e heshaghtyn-caggee, as tayrn-yms magh yn cliwe er nyn eiyrt's.

And I will scatter toward every wind all that are about him to help him, and all his bands; and I will draw out the sword after them.

15

As bee fys oc dy nee mish y Chiarn, tra ta mee er skeayley ad mastey ny ashoonyn, as er spreih ad fud ny cheeraghyn.

And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall scatter them among the nations, and disperse them in the countries.

16

Agh faag-yms kuse jeu veih'n chliwe, veih'n ghortey, as veih'n phaitt, dy vod adsyn ooilley nyn beccaghyn eajee y ockley-magh mastey ny ashoonee, raad hig ad, as bee fys oc dy nee mish y Chiarn.

But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the heathen whither they come; and they shall know that I am the Lord.

17

Ny-sodjey, haink goo yn Chiarn hym, gra,

Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

18

Vac y dooinney, ee dty arran lesh atchim, as iu dty ushtey lesh creau as imnea.

Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy water with trembling and with carefulness;

19

As abbyr rish pobble y cheer, Myr shoh ta'n Chiarn Jee dy ghra, mychione cummaltee Yerusalem, as thalloo Israel, Nee ad gee nyn arran lesh imnea, as giu nyn ushtey er-creau, dy vod y thalloo eck ve treigit lioroosyn ooilley t'ayn, kyndagh rish yn tranlaase ocsyn ooilley ta cummal ayn.

And say unto the people of the land, Thus saith the Lord God of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and of the land of Israel; They shall eat their bread with carefulness, and drink their water with astonishment, that her land may be desolate from all that is therein, because of the violence of all them that dwell therein.

20

As ny ard-valjyn ta cummaltee ayndoo, bee ad er ny chur naardey, as bee yn thalloo treigit as bee fys eu dy nee mish y Chiarn.

And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be desolate; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

21

As haink goo yn Chiarn hym's, gra,

And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

22

Vac y dooinney, cre ta'n raa-cadjin shen t'eu ayns cheer Israel, gra, Ta ny laghyn foddey ry-heet, as ta ashlish ny ghaa failleil?

Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth?

23

Insh daue er-y-fa shen, Myr shoh ta'n Chiarn Jee dy ghra, Ver-yms naardey yn raa-cadjin shoh, nagh jean ad imraa sodjey er myr raa-cadjin ayns Israel: agh abbyr roo, Ta ny laghyn er-gerrey, as bun dagh ashlish [dy ve cooilleenit.]

Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord God; I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision.

24

Son cha bee arragh ayn ashlish erbee fardalagh, chamoo phadeyrys brynneragh ayns thie Israel.

For there shall be no more any vain vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.

25

Son mish y Chiarn: neem's loayrt, as yn goo loayr-yms, hig eh gy-kione: cha bee eh ny sodjey er ny lhiggey shaghey: son ayns ny laghyn euish, O hie vee-viallagh, neem's loayrt yn ockle, as jannoo mie jeh, ta'n Chiarn-jee dy ghra.

For I am the Lord: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord God.

26

Reesht haink goo yn Chiarn hym, gra,

Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying.

27

Vac y dooinney, cur-my-ner, t'adsyn eh thie Israel dy ghra, Ta'n ashlish t'eh dy akin, son ymmodee laghyn ry-heet, as t'eh phadeyrys jeh ny earishyn foddey jeh.

Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of the times that are far off.

28

Shen-y-fa, abbyr roosyn, Myr shoh ta'n Chiarn Jee dy ghra, Cha bee veg jeh ny ghoan's lhiggit shaghey ny-sodjey, agh bee yn goo, ta mee er loayrt, er ny chooilleeney, ta'n Chiarn Jee dy ghra.

Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; There shall none of my words be prolonged any more, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord God.
