The Bible

1

As tra haink mish hiu, vraaraghyn, cha nee lesh yrjid dy ghlare floaoil haink mee, ny creenaght seihltagh, soilshaghey diu recortys Yee.

And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.

2

Son va mee kiarit gyn dy hoiggal nhee erbee ny mast' eu, agh Yeesey Creest, as eshyn er ny chrossey.

For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

3

As va mee nyn mast' eu ayns annooinid, as ayns lane aggle, as er-creau.

And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.

4

As va my ghlare as my phreacheil, cha nee lesh goan vrynneragh dy chreenaght dooinney, agh ayns bree yn Spyrryd, as pooar:

And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:

5

Nagh beagh yn credjue eu shassoo er creenaght deiney, agh er pooar Yee.

That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

6

Agh ta shinyn loayrt creenaght nyn mast' ocsyn ta slane ynsit, ny-yeih cha nee creenaght y theihll shoh, ny jeh princeyn y theihll ta lheïe ersooyl:

Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:

7

Agh ta shin loayrt creenaght Yee ayns folliaght, dy jarroo yn chreenaght follit shen ren Jee goardaghey roish ny seihllyn gys y ghloyr ainyn:

But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:

8

Shen nagh ren veg jeh princeyn y theihll shoh toiggal; son dy beagh toiggal oc jeh, cha beagh ad er chrossey yn Chiarn dy ghloyr.

Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

9

Agh myr te scruit, Cha vel sooill er vakin, ny cleaysh er chlashtyn, chamoo te ayns cree dooinney dy hoiggal ny reddyn ta Jee er chiarail er ny son ocsyn ta graihagh ersyn.

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

10

Agh ta Jee er hoilshaghey ad dooinyn liorish e Spyrryd: son ta'n Spyrryd ronsaghey dy chooilley nhee, eer folliaghtyn dowiney Yee.

But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

11

Son quoi'n dooinney ta toiggal ny reddyn ta ayns smooinaghtyn dooinney, agh spyrryd y dooinney hene? er yn aght cheddin ny reddyn ta bentyn gys Jee cha vel dooinney erbee toiggal, agh Spyrryd Yee.

For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

12

Nish ta shinyn er gheddyn, cha nee spyrryd y theihll, agh y Spyrryd ta veih Jee; dy voddagh shin toiggal ny giootyn graysoil ta dy arryltagh er ny choyrt dooin liorish Jee.

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

13

Ny reddyn cheddin ta shinyn neesht soilshaghey, cha nee ayns ny goan ta creenaght dooinney dy ynsaghey, agh shen ny ta'n Spyrryd Noo dy choyrt roin; soylaghey reddyn spyrrydoil rish reddyn spyrrydoil.

Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

14

Agh cha vel y dooinney dooghyssagh goaill rish ny reddyn ta jeh Spyrryd Yee: son t'ad ommijys dasyn; chamoo oddys tushtey ve echey jeu, er-yn-oyr dy vel ad er nyn doiggal ayns aght spyrrydoil.

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

15

Agh eshyn ta spyrrydoil, t'eh briwnys dy chooilley nhee, ny-yeih cha vel eh-hene er ny vriwnys liorish dooinney erbee.

But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

16

Son quoi t'er hoiggal aigney yn Chiarn, dy jean eh cur roish? agh ta ainyn aigney Chreest.

For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
