The Bible

Nish va dooinney dy row ching, va enmyssit Lazarus dy Vethany, balley Voirrey as y chuyr eck Martha.

Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.

(She yn Voirrey cheddin v'ayn, ish ren ooillaghey yn Chiarn, as rub ny cassyn, echey lesh e folt, yn braar eck Lazarus va ching).

(It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)

Shen-y-fa hug ny shayraghyn echey fys huggey, gra, Hiarn, cur-my-ner, t'eshyn shynney lhiat ching.

Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.

Tra cheayll Yeesey shoh, dooyrt eh, Cha vel y chingys shoh gys baase, agh son gloyr Yee, dy vod Mac Yee v'er ny ghloyraghey liorish.

When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.

Nish bynney lesh Yeesey Martha, as y chuyr eck, as Lazarus.

Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

Shen-y-fa tra v'eh er chlashtyn dy row eh ching, duirree eh foast daa laa ayns yn un voayl raad v'eh.

When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.

Eisht ny lurg shen dooyrt eh rish e ostyllyn, Lhig dooin goll reesht gys Judea.

Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.

Dooyrt e ostyllyn rish, Vainshter, cha voddey neayr as va ny Hewnyn shirrey dty chlaghey; as vel oo son goll gys shen reesht?

His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?

Dreggyr Yeesey, Nagh vel daa oor yeig 'sy laa? My ta dooinney erbee shooyll ayns y laa, cha vel eh snapperal, er-y-fa dy vel eh fakin soilshey yn theihll shoh.

Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.

Agh my ta dooinney shooyll ayns yn oie, t'eh snapperal, er-y-fa nagh vel soilshey ayn.

But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.

Ny goan shoh loayr eh: as ny lurg shen dooyrt eh roo, Ta nyn garrey Lazarus ny chadley; agh ta mish goll dy ghoostey eh ass e chadley.

These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.

Eisht dooyrt e ostyllyn rish, Hiarn, my t'eh cadley, nee eh coural.

Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.

Ny-yeih loayr Yeesey jeh'n vaase echey: agh heill adsyn dy row eh er loayrt jeh fea y ghoaill ayns cadley.

Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.

Eisht dooyrt Yeesey roo dy foshlit, Ta Lazarus marroo.

Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.

As s'mie lhiam er y choontey euish, nagh row mee ayns shen (son niartaghey nyn gredjue) ny-yeih hooin-jee huggey.

And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.

Eisht dooyrt Thomase ta enmyssit Didymus rish e heshey-ostyllyn, Lhig dooinyn goll neesht, dy vod mayd baase y gheddyn mârish.

Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.

Eisht tra va Yeesey er jeet gys Bethany, hooar eh dy row eh er ve kiare laa hannah 'syn oaie.

Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.

Nish va Bethany er-gerrey da Jerusalem, mysh daa veeilley jeh.

Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:

As va ymmodee jeh ny Hewnyn er jeet magh gys Martha as Moirrey, dy gherjaghey ad son nyn mraar.

And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.

Eisht cha leah as cheayll Martha dy row Yeesey cheet, hie ee magh ny whail: agh hoie Moirrey ayns y thie.

Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.

Eisht dooyrt Martha rish Yeesey, Hiarn, dy beagh uss er ve ayns shoh, cha beagh my vraar er gheddyn baase.

Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

Agh ta fys aym, eer foast, cre-erbee nee oo y yeearree er Jee, dy der Jee dhyt eh.

But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.

Dooyrt Yeesey r'ee, Nee dty vraar girree reesht.

Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.

Dooyrt Martha rish, Ta fys aym dy n'irree eh reesht ec yn irree-seose 'sy laa jerrinagh.

Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.

Dooyrt Yeesey r'ee, Mish yn irree seose-reesht veih ny merriu as yn vea: bee eshyn ta credjal aynym's bio, ga dy vow eh baase;

Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

As quoi-erbee ta bio, as credjal aynym's, cha vow eh yn baase dy bragh farraghtyn. Vel uss credjal shoh?

And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

Dooyrt ee rish, Ta, Hiarn: ta mee credjal dy nee uss yn Creest Mac Yee va ry-hoi cheet gys y theihll.

She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.

As tra v'ee er ghra shoh, hie ee rhym bee, as deie ee er e shuyr Moirrey er-lheh as dooyrt ee, Ta'n Mainshter er jeet, as t'eh geamagh ort.

And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.

Cha leah as cheayll ee shen, dirree ee dy tappee, as haink ee huggey.

As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him.

Nish cha row Yeesey foast er jeet stiagh ayns y valley, agh v'eh ayns y voayl raad haink Martha ny whail

Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him.

Ny Hewnyn eisht va maree ayns y thie dy gherjaghey ee, tra honnick ad dy dirree Moirrey dy tappee, as dy jagh ee magh, deiyr ad urree, gra, T'ee goll gys yn oaie dy cheayney ayns shen.

The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there.

Eisht tra va Moirrey er jeet raad va Yeesey, as jeeaghyn er, huitt ee sheese ec e chassyn, gra rish, Hiarn, dy beagh uss er ve ayns shoh, cha beagh my vraar er gheddyn baase.

Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

Tra honnick Yeesey ee er-y-fa shen keayney, as ny Hewnyn myrgeddin keayney v'er jeet maree, hayrn eh osney hrome, as v'eh seaghnit;

When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled.

As dooyrt eh, C'raad ta shiu er choyrt eh? Dooyrt adsyn rish, Hiarn, tarr as hee oo.

And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.

Ren Yeesey keayney.

Jesus wept.

Eisht dooyrt ny Hewnyn, Cur-jee my-ner, cre'n ghraih v'echey er.

Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him

As dooyrt paart jeu, Nagh voddagh yn dooinney shoh, ren fosley sooillyn ny doail, v'er lhiettal baase y dooinney shoh?

And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?

Hayrn Yeesey er-y-fa shen osney hrome reesht veih e chree, as haink eh gys yn oaie. She ooig v'ayn, as va clagh er e beeal.

Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.

Dooyrt Yeesey, Scugh-jee yn chlagh. Dooyrt Martha shuyr y varroo rish, Hiarn, ta nish soar trome jeh: son t'eh er ve kiare laa marroo.

Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.

Dooyrt Yeesey r'ee, Nagh dooyrt mee rhyt, my chredjagh oo, dy vaikagh oo gloyr Yee?

Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?

Eisht scugh ad y chlagh jeh'n boayl raad va'n marroo ny lhie. As hrog Yeesey seose e hooillyn, as dooyrt eh, Ayr, ta mee cur booise dhyt dy vel oo er my chlashtyn.

Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.

As va fys aym dy vel oo rieau dy my chlashtyn: agh er coontey yn phobble ta mygeayrt-y-moom dooyrt mee shoh, dy vod ad credjal dy vel oo er my choyrt.

And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.

As tra v'eh er ghra shoh, deie eh lesh ard-choraa, Lazarus, tar magh.

And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.

As haink eshyn va marroo magh soillit cass as laue ayns aanrityn oanluckee: as bussal mysh e eddin. Dooyrt Yeesey roo, Feayshil-jee eh, as lhig-jee yn raad da.

And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

Eisht ren ymmodee jeh ny Hewnyn v'er jeet magh gys Moirrey, as v'er vakin ny reddyn ren Yeesey, credjal ayn.

Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.

Agh hie paart jeu rhymboo gys ny Phariseeyn, as dinsh ad daue cre ny reddyn va Yeesey er n'yannoo.

But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.

Eisht deïe ny ard-saggyrtyn as ny Phariseeyn er y choonceil cooidjagh, as dooyrt ad, Cre ta shinyn dy yannoo? son ta'n dooinney shoh jannoo ymmodee mirrilyn.

Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles.

My lhiggys mayd da, nee dy chooilley ghooinney credjal ayn; as hig ny Romanee as ver ad mow chammah yn ynnyd casherick as yn ashoon ain.

If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.

As va fer jeu va enmyssit Caiaphas, ny ard-saggyrt yn vlein shen, as dooyrt eh roo, Cha vel toiggal eu jeh nhee erbee,

And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,

Chamoo ta shiu goaill eu hene kys dy vel eh ymmyrchagh er ny son ain, un dooinney dy gheddyn baase son y pobble, as gyn y slane ashoon dy herraghtyn.

Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.

As shoh loayr eh, cha nee jeh hene: agh v'eh ny ard-saggyrt yn vlein shen, as ren e phadeyrys dy voghe Yeesey baase son yn ashoon shen:

And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;

As cha nee ynrycan son yn ashoon shen, agh myrgeddin dy jinnagh eh cloan Yee va skeaylt dy lhean, y hayrn gys unnaneys ry-cheilley.

And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.

Eisht veih'n laa shen magh v'ad cur nyn goyrle dy cheilley dy choyrt eh gy baase.

Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death.

Cha jimmee Yeesey er-y-fa shen ny smoo dy foshlit mastey ny Hewnyn; agh hie eh veih shen gys cheer va er-gerrey da'n aasagh, gys ard-valley enmyssit Ephraim, as duirree eh ayns shen marish e ostyllyn.

Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.

As va caisht ny Hewnyn tayrn er gerrey: as va ymmodee ass y cheer goll seose gys Jerusalem roish y chaisht dy ghlenney ad hene er y hon.

And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.

As v'ad briaght son Yeesey, as loayrt nyn mast' oc hene, myr v'ad nyn shassoo ayns y chiamble, Cre ta shiu dy smooinaghtyn, nagh jig eh seose gys y feailley?

Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast?

Nish va chammah ny ard-saggyrtyn as ny Phariseeyn er chur sarey, my va fys ec dooinney erbee c'raad v'eh, dy row ad dy choyrt briaght er cour y ghoaill eh.

Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should shew it, that they might take him.
