The Bible

Eisht haink cooidjagh huggey ny Phariseeyn as shiartanse jeh ny scrudeyryn, haink veih Jerusalem.

Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem.

As tra honnick ad paart jeh e ostyllyn gee arran lesh laueyn neu-ghlen (ta shen dy ghra gyn-niee) hooar ad foill.

And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault.

Son cha vel ny Phariseeyn, ny veg jeh ny Hewnyn goaill beaghey mannagh vel ad dy kiaralagh niee nyn laueyn, freayll oardaghyn y chanstyr.

For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.

As tra t'ad cheet thie veih'n vargey, cha vel ad gee, derrey t'ad niee. As ta ymmodee dy reddyn elley, t'ad er ghoaill orroo dy reayll, niee cappanyn as siyn crayee, siyn prashey as buird.

And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables.

Eisht denee ny Phariseeyn as ny scrudeyryn jeh, Cre'n-fa nagh vel dty ostyllyn freayll oardaghyn y chanstyr, agh t'ad gee arran lesh laueyn nagh vel nieet?

Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands?

Dreggyr eshyn as dooyrt eh roo, S'mie ren Esaias phadeyrys jiuish, chrauee-oalsey, myr te scruit, Ta'n pobble shoh cur ooashley dou lesh nyn meillyn, agh ta'n cree oc foddey voym.

He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

Ny-yeih ayns fardail t'ad cur ooashley dooys, gynsaghey son y goo aym's, oardaghyn deiney.

Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

Son treigeil annaghyn Yee ta shiu freayll oardaghyn deiney, niee siyn crayee as cappanyn: as ymmodee lheid ny reddyn shen ta shiu dy yannoo.

For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.

As dooyrt eh roo, S'mie ta shiu jannoo anney Yee gyn vree, dy hoiaghey seose ny oardaghyn eu hene.

And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

Son ta Moses er ghra, Cur arrym da dty ayr as da dty voir: as, Eshyn ta gweeaghyn da ayr ny moir, lhig da ve deyrit gy baase.

For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:

Agh ta shiuish gra, My jir dooinney rish e ayr ny e voir, She Corban eh, ta shen dy ghra, Yn chooid-choonee shen oddagh uss jerkal rish voym's, te gioot er ny chasherickey gys Jee:

But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.

As cha vel shiu lhiggey da red erbee sodjey y yannoo son e ayr ny e voir:

And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;

Jannoo goo Yee gyn vree trooid ny oardaghyn eu, ta shiu er harey: as ymmodee lheid ny reddyn shoh ta shiu dy yannoo.

Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

As tra v'eh er n'eamagh er ooilley yn pobble huggey, dooyrt eh roo, Eaisht-jee ooilley rhym's, as toig-jee.

And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:

Cha vel nhee erbee veih cheu-mooie jeh dooinney, oddys goll stiagh ayn, as jannoo neu-ghlen jeh: agh ny reddyn ta cheet veih cheu-sthie jeh, ad shen ta jannoo neu-ghlen jeh'n dooinney.

There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.

My ta dooinney erbee as cleayshyn echey dy chlashtyn, lhig da clashtyn.

If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

As tra v'eh er n'gholl stiagh ayns y thie veih'n pobble, denee e ostyllyn jeh mychione y coraa-dorraghey.

And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.

As dooyrt eh roo, Vel shiuish myrgeddin lesh cha beg dy hushtey? nagh vel shiu foast cur tastey, cre-erbee veih cheu-mooie ta goll stiagh ayns y dooinney, nagh vod eh jannoo neu-ghlen jeh,

And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him;

Er-y-fa nagh vel eh goll stiagh ayns y chree; agh ayns y volg, as goll magh trooid y chorp, glenney dy chooilley veaghey?

Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?

As dooyrt eh, Shen ta cheet magh ass y dooinney, ta jannoo yn dooinney neu-ghlen.

And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.

Son veih cheu-sthie, magh veih creeaghyn deiney, ta cheet drogh-smooinaghtyn, brishey-poosey, maarderys, dunverys,

For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

Maarlys, saynt, olkys, molteyrys, rouanys, drogh-hooill, goan mollaghtagh, moyrn, ommijys:

Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:

Ta ooilley ny drogh reddyn shoh cheet veih cheu-sthie, as jannoo yn dooinney neu-ghlen.

All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

As hrog eh er veih shen, as jimmee eh gys ardjyn Tyre as Sidon, as hie eh stiagh ayns thie, as cha baillish fys y ve ec dooinney erbee er, agh cha dod eh ve keillit.

And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know it: but he could not be hid.

Son va ben dy row, va'n inneen aeg eck as spyrryd neu-ghlen aynjee, tra cheayll ee jeh, haink ee as huitt ee sheese ec e chassyn:

For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:

Va'n ven ny Greek, jeh cheer Syrophenicia; as ghuee ee er, eh dy hilgey magh yn drogh-spyrryd ass e hinneen.

The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.

Agh dooyrt Yeesey r'ee, Lhig da'n chloan ve hoshiaght jeant magh: son cha vel eh cooie arran ny clienney y ghoaill as y hilgey eh gys moddee.

But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs.

As dreggyr ish as dooyrt ee, S'feer shen Hiarn: foast ta ny moddee fo yn voayrd as ad gee brooillagh ny clienney.

And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.

As dooyrt eh r'ee, Son y raa shoh, immee royd, ta'n drogh-spyrryd er gholl ass dty inneen.

And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.

As tra v'ee er jeet thie, hooar ee e hinneen ny lhie er y lhiabbee, as y drogh spyrryd er gholl ass-jee.

And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.

As hie eh reesht veih ardjyn Tyre as Sidon, as haink eh gys faarkey Ghalilee, trooid mean ardjyn Decapolis.

And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.

As hug ad lhieu huggey dooinney bouyr, balloo: as ghuee ad er eh dy chur e laue er.

And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him.

As ghow eh dy lhiattee eh veih'n pobble, as hug eh e veir ayns e chleayshyn, as hug eh magh shelley, as venn eh rish e hengey.

And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;

As yeeagh eh seose gys niau, as lhig eh osney, as dooyrt eh rish, Ephphatha, ta shen, Bee foshlit.

And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.

As chelleeragh va ny cleayshyn echey er nyn vosley, as streng e hengey er ny eaysley, as haink e ghlare lesh.

And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.

As hug eh currym orroo gyn ad dy insh shoh da dooinney erbee: agh myr smoo hug eh currym orroo, wheesh shen foddey smoo ren adsyn y hoilshaghey eh.

And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it;

As v'ad erskyn towse atchimagh, gra, T'eh er n'yannoo dy chooilley nhee dy mie: t'eh cur chammah er ny beuyr dy chlashtyn, as ny balloo dy loayrt.

And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
