The Bible

1

Son yn oyr shoh, ta mish Paul, pryssoonagh Yeesey Creest er y choontey euish Ashoonyn-quaagh;

For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,

2

My she shen dy vel shiu er chlashtyn jeh'n phooar t'er ny choyrt dooys dy hirveish erriu grayse Yee.

If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:

3

Kys liorish ashlish ren eh soilshaghey dooys yn folliaght (myr scrieu mee roïe ayns focklyn giarey.

How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,

4

Lioroo tra ta shiu lhaih foddee shiu toiggal my hushtey's ayns folliaght Chreest)

Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)

5

Nagh row ayns eashyn elley er ny hoilshaghey da cloan gheiney, myr te nish er ny ashlaghey da e ostyllyn casherick as e adeyryn liorish y Spyrryd;

Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

6

Dy row ny Ashoonyn-quaagh dy ve co-eiraghyn, as jeh'n un chorp, as dy ghoaill ayrn cooidjagh jeh e ghialdyn ayns Creest, liorish y sushtal:

That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:

7

Jeh va mish jeant my hirveishagh, cordail rish gioot grayse Yee v'er ny choyrt dooys liorish obbragh breeoil e phooar.

Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.

8

Dooys, ta'n fer sloo jeh ooilley ny nooghyn, ta'n ghrayse shoh er ny choyrt, dy beigns dy phreacheil mastey ny Ashoonyn quaagh berchys Chreest nagh vod ve ronsit magh;

Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

9

As dy hoilshaghey dy foshlit da dy chooilley ghooinney, cre ta commeeys y folliaght ta er ve er dy hoshiaght y theihll keillit ayns Jee, ren dy chooilley nhee y chroo liorish Yeesey Creest:

And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

10

Dy voddagh nish v'er ny hoilshaghey da ny ard-reillyn as pooaraghyn ayns ynnydyn flaunyssagh liorish yn agglish ymmodee filley creenaght Yee,

To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,

11

Cordail rish e phointeil ro-laue chiare eh er-dy-rieau ayns Creest Yeesey nyn Jiarn:

According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:

12

Ny hrooid ta daanys ain as kied dy hayrn er-gerrey da lesh shickyrys liorish y chredjue t'ain aynsyn.

In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.

13

Shen-y-fa ta mee guee erriu ny lhig shiu nyn gree veue; son ny ta mish dy uilliaghtyn ayns y lieh euish, ta shoh yn ghloyr eu.

Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

14

Son yn oyr shoh ta mee croymmey my ghlioonyn gys Ayr nyn Jiarn Yeesey Creest,

For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

15

Jehsyn ta'n slane lught-thie ayns niau as er y thalloo er ny enmys.

Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,

16

Dy jinnagh eh coyrt diuish, cordail rish berchys e ghloyr, dy ve er nyn niartaghey lesh pooar liorish e Spyrryd ayns y dooinney er cheu-sthie;

That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;

17

Dy vod Creest baghey ayns ny creeaghyn eu liorish credjue; dy vod shiuish liorish ve fraueit as gruntit ayns graih,

That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

18

Ve abyl dy hoiggal marish ooilley ny nooghyn, cre ta'n lheead, as y lhiurid, as y diunid, as yn yrjid;

May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;

19

As dy hoiggal graih Chreest, ta erskyn tushtey, dy vod shiu ve jeant magh lesh ooilley laanid Yee.

And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

20

Nish huggeysyn ta abyl dy yannoo foddey erskyn ooilley ny ta shin geearree ny smooinaghtyn, cordail rish y phooar ta gobbraghey dy niartal aynin,

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

21

Huggey dy row gloyr ayns yn agglish liorish Creest Yeesey, trooid magh dy chooilley eash, seihll gyn jerrey. Amen.

Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
