The Bible

1

As ayns y laa shen bee farrane er ny osley da thie Ghavid, as da cummaltee Yerusalem, son peccah, as son neu-ghlennid.

In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.

2

As hig eh gy-kione ta Chiarn ny flaunyssee dy ghra, dy giare-ym jeh ennym ny jallooyn ass y cheer, as cha bee cooinaghtyn sodjey jeu: as neem's scughey myrgeddin ny phadeyryn, as y spyrryd neu-ghlen ass y cheer.

And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more be remembered: and also I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land.

3

As hig eh gy-kione, tra nee fer erbee phadeyrys, dy jir e ayr as e voir hooar eh, gra rish, Cha bee oo bio; son t'ou fockley-magh breagyn ayns ennym y Chiarn: as nee e ayr as e voir hooar eh, roie trooid e chorp eh, tra t'eh jannoo phadeyrys.

And it shall come to pass, that when any shall yet prophesy, then his father and his mother that begat him shall say unto him, Thou shalt not live; for thou speakest lies in the name of the Lord: and his father and his mother that begat him shall thrust him through when he prophesieth.

4

As hig eh gy-kione ayns y laa shen, dy bee ny phadeyryn naareydagh; dagh unnane oc jeh e ashlish, tra t'ad er n'yannoo phadeyrys; chamoo nee ad ceau garmad geyshteenagh dy volley sleih.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision, when he hath prophesied; neither shall they wear a rough garment to deceive:

5

As jir eh, Cha nee phadeyr mee, she eirrinagh mee; son dynsee dooinney mee veih my aegid dy vochillaght ollagh.

But he shall say, I am no prophet, I am an husbandman; for man taught me to keep cattle from my youth.

6

As jir fer rish, Cre ny lhottyn ad shoh t'ayns dty laueyn? Eisht nee eh freggyrt, T'ad shoh ny lhottyn hooar mee ayns thie my chaarjyn.

And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.

7

Dooisht, O chliwe, noi my vochilley, as noi yn dooinney ta my heshey, ta Chiarn ny flaunyssee dy ghra: bwoaill yn bochilley, as bee ny kirree er ny skeayley: as chyndaa-ym my laue er y vyn-vooinjer.

Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the Lord of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones.

8

As hig eh gy-kione, trooid ooilley yn cheer, ta'n Chiarn dy ghra, dy bee daa ayrn jeh ny t'ayn er ny yiarey jeh, as er ny choyrt gys baase, agh bee yn trass ayrn faagit ayn.

And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.

9

As ver-ym lhiam yn trass ayrn trooid yn aile, as nee'm ad y ghlenney myr ta arroo er ny ghlenney, as nee'm ad y phrowal myr ta airh er ny phrowal: as nee ad geamagh er my ennym's, as nee'm ad y chlashtyn: as jir-ym, T'adsyn my phobble: as jir adsyn, Ta'n Chiarn my Yee.

And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.
