The Bible

As haink eh gy-kione, tra v'eh er gholl stiagh ayns thie fer jeh ny ard Phariseeyn dy ee arran er y doonaght, dy row sooill oc er.

And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him.

As cur-my-ner, va dooinney kionfenish, va'n dropsee er.

And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.

As dreggyr Yeesey, as loayr eh rish fir-ynsee yn leigh as rish ny Phariseeyn, gra, Vel eh lowal dy lheihys er laa yn doonaght?

And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?

As v'ad nyn-dhost. As ghow eh as laanee eh eh, as lhig eh yn raad da:

And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go;

As dreggyr eh ad, gra, Quoi j'iu vees dow ny assyl echey er huittym ayns jeeg, nagh jean jeeragh y hayrn ass eh er y doonaght?

And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day?

As cha row ansoor erbee oc dy choyrt gys ny goan shoh.

And they could not answer him again to these things.

As loayr eh coraa-dorraghey rish ny goaldee, tra hug eh tastey kys v'ad reih ny stuill byrjey; gra roo,

And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them.

Tra t'ou cuirt liorish dooinney erbee gys bannish, ny soie sheese er y stoyl syrjey; er-aggle dy bee dooinney s'ooasle na uss er ny chuirrey liorish;

When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him;

As dy jig eshyn ren shiu nyn neesht y chuirrey, as dy jir eh rhyt, Cur raad da'n dooinney shoh; as dy jean oo toshiaght lesh nearey dy ghoaill y stoyl s'inshley.

And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.

Agh tra vees oo cuirt, immee, as soie sheese er y stoyl s'inshley; tra hig eshyn ren dty chuirrey, dy vod eh gra rhyt, Charrey, gow seose ny syrjey: eisht bee ooashley ayd ayns yn enish ocsyn ta nyn soie ec bee mayrt:

But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee.

Son quoi-erbee ta dy hoiaghey eh-hene seose, bee eh er ny injillaghey; as eshyn ta dy injillaghey eh-hene, bee eh er ny hoiaghey seose.

For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

Eisht dooyrt eh rishyn ren y chuirrey eh, Tra t'ou jannoo jinnair ny shibber, ny cuir dty chaarjyn, ny dty vraaraghyn, ny dty gheiney-mooinjerey, ny dty naboonyn berchagh; er-aggle dy jean adsyn oo y chuirrey reesht, as dy bee lhiassaghey er ny yannoo dhyt.

Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee.

Agh tra t'ou jannoo cuirraghyn, eie er ny boghtyn, ny baccee, ny croobee, as ny doail:

But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:

As bee oo bannit; son cha vod adsyn cooilleeney 'chur dhyt: son bee oo cooilleenit ec irree-reesht y chloan chairagh.

And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.

As tra cheayll fer jeusyn va nyn soie ec bee marish ny goan shoh, dooyrt eh rish, Bannit ta eshyn ee-ys arran ayns reeriaght Yee.

And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.

Eisht dooyrt eh rish, Ren dooinney dy row shibber vooar, as chuir eh ymmodee:

Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:

As hug eh magh e harvaant ec traa shibberagh dy ghra rish ny goaldee, Tar-jee, son ta dy chooilley nhee nish aarloo.

And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.

As ren ad ooilley toshiaght lesh un aigney dy yannoo leshtalyn. Dooyrt y chied er, Ta mee er chionnaghey peesh dy halloo, as shegin dou goll dy yeeaghyn er: guee-ym ort, jean my leshtal.

And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.

As dooyrt fer elley, Ta mee er chionnaghey queig chubbil dy ghew, as ta mee goll dy phowal ad: ta mee guee ort jean my leshtal.

And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.

As dooyrt fer elley, Ta mee er phoosey ben, as er-y-fa shen cha voddym cheet.

And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.

Myr shen haink y charvaant cheddin, as hoilshee eh da e hiarn ny reddyn shoh. Eisht va mainshter y thie jymmoosagh, as dooyrt eh rish e harvaant, Gow magh dy tappee gys straidyn as raaidyn yn ard-valley, as cur lhiat stiagh ayns shoh ny boghtyn, as ny baccee, as ny croobee, as ny doail:

So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.

As dooyrt y charvaant, Hiarn, te jeant myr t'ou er harey, as foast ta room.

And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.

As dooyrt y chiarn rish y charvaant, Gow magh gys ny raaidyn mooarey as ny cleigh, as guee orroo dy heet stiagh, dy vod my hie ve er ny lhieeney.

And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.

Son ta mee gra riu, nagh jean fer jeh ny deiney va cuirt, blashtyn jeh my hibber,

For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.

As hie earrooyn mooarey dy leih marish: as hyndaa eh, as dooyrt eh roo,

And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them,

My hig dooinney erbee hym's, as nagh vel graih sloo echey er e ayr as e voir, as e ven, as e chloan, as e vraaraghyn, as e hayraghyn, dy jarroo, as er e vioys hene (na orrym's) cha vod eh dy firrinagh gynsaghey voym's.

If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

As quoi-erbee nagh vel gymmyrkey e chrosh, as cheet geiyrt orrym's, cha vod eh ve ny eiyrtyssagh dooys.

And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

Quoi jiuish ta kiarail toor y hroggal, nagh vel soie sheese hoshiaght, as coontey yn cost, vel wheesh echey as ver mullagh er?

For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?

Er-aggle erreish da yn undin y hoiaghey, as nagh vel yn fort echey dy chur kione er, dy jean ooilley nee fakin eh toshiaght dy chraidey mysh,

Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,

Gra, Ren y dooinney shoh toshiaght dy vuildal, as cha row fort echey kione y cur er e obbyr.

Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.

Ny cre'n ree ragh dy yannoo caggey noi ree elley, nagh soiagh sheese hoshiaght dy ghoaill coyrle, vel eh son goll magh lesh jeih thousaneyn ny whail echeysyn ta cheet n'oi lesh feed thousane?

Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?

Er-nonney, choud as ta'n ree elley foddey veih, t'eh cur chaghteraght huggey, as chebbal conaantyn shee.

Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.

Myr shen myrgeddin quoi-erbee jiuish, nagh vel treigeil ooilley ny t'echey, cha vod eh ve ny eiyrtyssagh dooys.

So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.

Ta sollan mie: agh my ta'n sollan er choayl e vlass, kys hig e vree ayn reesht?

Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?

Cha vel ymmyd ayn son y thalloo, ny foast son y torran; agh ta deiney dy cheau magh eh. Eshyn ta cleayshyn echey dy chlashtyn, lhig da clashtyn.

It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
