As t'ad coyrt saynt da magheryn as goaill ad er niart; as da thieyn, as goaill daue hene ad: myr shen t'ad roostey dooinney as e hie, dy jarroo dooinney as e eiraght.

In that day shall one take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, and say, We be utterly spoiled: he hath changed the portion of my people: how hath he removed it from me! turning away he hath divided our fields.

Shen-y-fa, cha bee unnane ayd, nee coyrd cronney y hayrn er dty hon's, ayns cochruinnaght y Chiarn.

Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord by lot in the congregation of the Lord.

Ny jean-jee phadeyrys, jir ad roosyn ta phadeyrys: cha jean ad phadeyrys daue, nagh gow ad nearey.

Prophesy ye not, say they to them that prophesy: they shall not prophesy to them, that they shall not take shame.

O uss ta enmyssit thie Yacob, vel spyrryd y Chiarn er ny leodaghey? nee shoh yn jannoo echeysyn? nagh vel my ghoan jannoo mie dasyn ta gimmeeaght dy cairal?

O thou that art named the house of Jacob, is the spirit of the Lord straitened? are these his doings? do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?

Even of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye pull off the robe with the garment from them that pass by securely as men averse from war.

Ta shiu er n'eebyrt mraane my phobble ass nyn dhieyn aalin, veih nyn gloan ta shiu er n'ghoaill ersooyl my ghloyr son dy bragh.

The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their children have ye taken away my glory for ever.

Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction.

My ta dooinney gimmeeaght ayns spyrryd dy oalsaght, cur rish breagyn, gra, Nee'm phadeyrys dhyt mychione feeyn as jough lajer; bee eshyn eer phadeyr yn phobble shoh.

If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, saying, I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people.
