The Bible

1

Gow-jee tastey, nagh jean shiu nyn ghiastyllys fenish deiney, dy ve er ny akin lioroo: er-nonney cha vow shiu leagh veih'n Ayr eu t'ayns niau.

Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.

2

Shen-y-fa tra t'ou jannoo dty ghiastyllys, ny jean cayrn y heidey royd, myr ny crauee oalsey ayns ny margaghyn, as ayns ny straidyn, er-chee cosney moylley'n theay. Dy firrinagh ta mee gra riu, Shen nyn leagh.

Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

3

Agh tra t'ou uss jannoo dty ghiastyllys, ny lhig da fys y ve ec dty laue-chiare cre ta dty laue yesh dy yannoo:

But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:

4

Dy vod dty yeirk ve follit: as nee dty Ayr ta fakin ny ta jeant dy follit, dty leagh y chur dhyt dy foshlit.

That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.

5

As tra vees oo goaill padjer, cha jean oo myr ny crauee-oalsey: son shynney lhieu syn shassoo seose ayns ny margaghyn, as ayns king ny straidyn dy ghoaill padjer, er-chee dy v'er ny akin liorish deiney. Dy firrinagh ta mee gra riu, dy vel ad er gheddyn nyn leagh.

And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

6

Agh uss, tra t'ou goaill padjer, immee stiagh ayns dty hiamyr; as dooney dty ghorrys, guee gys dty Ayr dy follit, as nee dty Ayr ta fakin ny ta jeant dy follit, leagh y chur dhyt dy foshlit.

But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

7

As ayns nyn badjeryn, ny gow-jee lhieu harrish as harrish myr ny Ashoonee: son er-lhieu dy vow ad clashtyn liorish nyn ymmodee goan fardalagh.

But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

8

Ny bee-jee shiuish er-y-fa shen goll roosyn: son ta fys ec nyn Ayr cre ta nyn ymmyrch, roish my jean shiu aghin huggey

Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

9

Shen y fa er yn aght shoh gow-jee padjer: Ayr ain t'ayns niau, Casherick dy row dty ennym.

After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

10

Dy jig dty reeriaght. Dty aigney dy row jeant er y thalloo, myr te ayns niau.

Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

11

Cur dooin nyn arran jiu as gagh laa.

Give us this day our daily bread.

12

As leih dooin nyn loghtyn, myr ta shin leih dauesyn ta jannoo loghtyn nyn 'oi.

And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

13

As ny leeid shin ayns miolagh, agh livrey shin veih olk: Son lhiat's y reeriaght, as y phooar, as y ghloyr, son dy bragh, Amen.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

14

Son my leihys shiuish da deiney nyn loghtyn, leihee nyn Ayr flaunyssagh myrgeddin diuish.

For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

15

Agh mannagh leihee shiuish da deiney nyn loghtyn, cha jean yn Ayr eu nyn loghtyn y leih diuish.

But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

16

As tra vees shiu trostey, ny bee-jee groymagh myr ny crauee-oalsey, son t'adsyn caghlaa cummey nyn eddin, er-chee deiney dy chur tastey da'n trostey oc. Ta mee shickyrys diu, dy nee shoh (ooilley) nyn leagh.

Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

17

Agh uss, tra t'ou trostey, jean dty chione y ooillaghey, as dty eddin y oonlaghey:

But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;

18

Nagh bee oo ry-akin liorish deiney dy hrostey, agh liorish dty Ayr t'ayns folliaght: as nee dty Ayr ta fakin ayns folliaght, uss y chooilleeney dy foshlit.

That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.

19

Ny stoyr-jee seose berchys diu hene er y thalloo, raad ta'n lhemeen as y mergey cur-mow, as raad ta maarlee brishey stiagh as geid:

Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

20

Agh stoyr-jee seose berchys diu hene ayns niau, raad nagh vel y lhemeen ny'n mergey cur mow, as raad nagh vel maarlee brishey stiagh as geid.

But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

21

Son raad ta nyn stoyr, shen-y-raad vees y cree eu myrgeddin.

For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

22

Ta yn tooill soilshey yn chorp: shen-y-fa my ta'n tooill gyn foill, bee soilshey ec ooilley dty chorp.

The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.

23

Agh my ta assee er dty hooill, bee dty slane corp ayns dorraghys. My ta'n soilshey ta aynyd's er-y-fa shen ny ghorraghys, nagh mooar yn dorraghys eh!

But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness

24

Cha vod dooinney erbee daa vainshter y hirveish: son edyr ver eh dwoaie da'n derrey yeh, as graih da'n jeh elley; ny bee eh jeidjagh da'n derrey yeh, ny soiaghey beg jeh'n jeh elley. Cha vod shiu Jee as Mammon y hirveish.

No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

25

Er-yn-oyr shoh ta mee gra riu, Ny bee Jee ro-imneagh son nyn mea, cre ee-ys, ny cre iu-ys shiu: ny foast son nyn girp cre ver shiu miu: Nagh vel y vea ny smoo dy ve soit jeh na'n beaghey, as y corp na'n coamrey?

Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

26

Cur-jee my-ner eeanlee yn aer: son cha vel ad cuirr ny buinn, ny chymsaghey stiagh ayns soaltyn; foast ta nyn Ayr flaunyssagh dyn meaghey ad. Nagh vel shiuish foddey share na adsyn?

Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?

27

Quoi jiuish liorish imnea erbee oddys un chubit y chur gys e yrjid hene?

Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

28

As cre'n-fa ta shiu imneagh son coamraghyn? Gow-jee tastey jeh lilleeyn ny magheragh kys t'ad gaase; cha vel ad tooilleil, chamoo t'ad sneeu.

And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

29

As foast ta mee gra riu, nagh row Solomon hene ayns ooilley e ghloyr er ny choamrey myr unnane jeu shoh.

And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

30

My ta Jee er-y-fa shen myr shoh coamrey blaa ny magheragh, ta jiu ayn, as mairagh ceaut ayns yn oghe, nagh jean eh foddey smoo shiuish y choamrey, O gheiney faase chredjuagh?

Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

31

Ny bee-jee er-y-fa shen imneagh, gra, Cre nee mayd gee? ny cre nee mayd giu? ny kys yiow mayd coamrey?

Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

32

(Son lurg ooilley ny reddyn shoh ta ny Ashoonee imneagh) agh ec yn Ayr flaunyssagh euish ta fys, dy vel shiu feme dy chooilley nhee jeu shoh.

(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

33

Agh shir-jee hoshiaght reeriaght Yee as e chairys, as bee shiu jeant magh lesh ooilley ny reddyn shoh.

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

34

Ny bee-jee er-y-fa shen ayns imnea erbee son y laa mairagh, son tra hig y laa mairagh, hig e chiarail mârish s'lioar da'n laa t'ayn e heaghyn hene.

Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
