The Bible

As haink eh gy-kione, erreish da Yeesey v'er choyrt ny curmyn shoh da e ghaa ostyl jeig dy jagh eh veih shen dy ynsaghey, as dy phreacheil ayns ny ard-valjyn mygeayrt.

And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.

Nish tra va Ean er chlashtyn ayns y phryssoon jeh obbraghyn Chreest, hug eh jees jeh e ynseydee hene er chaghteraght huggey,

Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,

Dy ghra rish, Nee uss eh va dy heet ny vel shin dy yeeaghyn son fer elley?

And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?

Dreggyr Yeesey as dooyrt eh roo, Immee-jee, as soilshee-jee da Ean ny reddyn ta shiu dy chlashtyn as dy akin:

Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see:

Ta ny doail geddyn nyn soilshey, as ny croobee shooyll, ny louraanee er nyn ghlenney, ny beuyr clashtyn, ny merriu er nyn mioghey, as yn sushtal er ny phreacheil da ny boghtyn.

The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

As bannit ta eshyn nagh jean beg y hoiaghey jeem's.

And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.

As myr v'ad goll roue, ren Yeesey toshiaght dy ghra rish y pobble mychione Ean, Cre hie shiu magh gys yn aasagh dy akin? Nee cuirtlagh criht lesh y gheay?

And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

Agh cre hie shiu magh dy akin? Dooinney coamrit ayns garmad moyrnagh? Cur-my-ner, t'adsyn ta ceau coamrey moyrnagh ayns cooyrtyn reeoil.

But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.

Agh cre hie shiu magh dy akin? Nee phadeyr? dy jarroo ta mee gra riu, as fer syrjey na phadeyr.

But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.

Son shoh eh, my-e-chione te scruit, Cur-my-ner ta mee cur my haghter magh royd, dy chiartaghey'n raad kiongoyrt rhyt.

For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

Dy firrinagh ta mee gra riu, ny mast' ocsyn t'er ve ruggit jeh mraane, cha vel fer syrjey na Ean Bashtey er droggal: ny-yeih ta'n fer sloo t'ayns reeriaght niau ny syrjey na eshyn.

Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

As er-dy laghyn Ean Bashtey derrey nish, ta sleih chionney stiagh gys reeriaght niau, as t'adsyn ta cheet lesh jeeanid cosney stiagh ayn.

And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

Son ren ooilley ny phadeyryn as y leigh phadeyrys derrey Ean.

For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.

As my ta shiu booiagh goaill-rish, shoh Elias va ry-hoi cheet.

And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.

Eshyn ta cleayshyn echey dy chlashtyn lhig da clashtyn.

He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Agh cre gys nee'm yn cheeloghe shoh y hoylaghey? T'ad goll-rish cloan ta nyn soie ayns ny margaghyn, as geamagh da ny sheshaghyn oc.

But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,

As gra, Ta shin er n'yannoo bingys diu, as cha vel shiu er ghaunsin: ta shin er hroggal bardoon diu, as cha vel shiu er ghobberan.

And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.

Son cha daink Ean gee ny giu, as t'ad gra, Ta drogh-spyrryd ayn.

For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.

Haink Mac yn dooinney gee as giu, as t'ad gra, Cur-my-ner dooinney jollyssagh, as iuder feeyney, carrey dy publicanee as dy pheccee: agh ta creenaght er ny heyrey liorish e cloan hene.

The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.

Eisht ren eh toshiaght dy phlaiynt er ny ard-valjyn, ayndoo va'n chooid smoo jeh e obbraghyn yindyssagh er nyn yannoo, er-yn-oyr nagh ghow ad arrys.

Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not:

Smerg dhyt's Chorazin, smerg dhyt's Vethsaida: son dy beagh ny obbraghyn yindyssagh er ny ve jeant ayns Tyre as Sidon t'er ny ve jeant ayndiuish, veagh ad er ghoaill arrys foddey er-dy-henney ayns aanrit-sack as leoie

Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

Agh ta mee gra riu, Dy bee kerraghey s'eddrym er ny choyrt er Tyre as Sidon ec laa ny briwnys, na vees er ny choyrt erriuish.

But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.

As uss, Chapernaum, ta dty ooashley roshtyn gys niau, bee oo er dty hilgey sheese gys niurin: son dy beagh ny obbraghyn yindyssagh er ve jeant ayns Sodom, t'er ve jeant aynyd's, veagh eh er ve er-mayrn gys y laa t'ayn jiu.

And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.

Agh ta mee gra riu, dy bee kerraghey sassey er ny choyrt er thalloo Sodom ec laa ny briwnys, na vees ort's.

But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.

Ec y traa shen dreggyr Yeesey as dooyrt eh, Ta mee cur booise dhyt, O Ayr, Hiarn niau as thalloo, er-yn-oyr dy vel oo er cheiltyn ny reddyn shoh vouesyn ta creeney as tushtagh, as dy vel oo er hoilshaghey ad da oikanyn.

At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

Shen dy jarroo myr te, Ayr, son shen myr ve mie ayns dty hilley's.

Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.

Ta dy chooilley nhee er ny livrey dooys liorish my Ayr: as cha nhione da dooinney erbee yn Mac, agh yn Ayr: chamoo shione da dooinney erbee yn Ayr, agh y Mac, as eshyn da s'gooidsave lesh yn Mac eh y hoilshaghey.

All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

Tar-jee hym's ooilley shiuish ta deinagh as trome laadit, as neem's shiu y ooraghey.

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Gow-jee my whing erriu, as ynsee-jee voym's, son ta mee meen as imlee ayns cree: as yiow shiu fea da nyn anmeenyn.

Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

Son ta my whing aashagh, as my errey eddrym.

For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
