The Bible

1

Nish ta shin guee erriu, vraaraghyn, liorish cheet nyn Jiarn Yeesey Creest, as liorish yn chaglym cooidjagh ainyn huggeysyn,

Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

2

Nagh bee shin dy leah er nyn lhaggaghey ayns aigney, ny seaghnit, chamoo liorish spyrryd, ny goo, ny liorish screeuyn, myr voïnyn, myr dy beagh laa Chreest er-gerrey.

That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

3

Ny lhig da dooinney erbee liorish saaseyn erbee shiu y volley: son cha jig y laa shen mannagh jig hoshiaght tuittym ersooyl [veih'n chredjue], as dy bee'n dooinney shen dy pheccah er ny hoilshaghey, yn mac dy hoyrt-mow;

Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

4

Quoi ta soiaghey eh-hene seose noi, as troggal eh-hene erskyn ooilley ny ta enmyssit Jee, ny ta er ny ooashlaghey; myr shen dy vel eshyn myr Jee soie ayns chiamble Yee, goaill er hene dy ve Jee.

Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

5

Nagh vel cooinaghtyn eu, tra va mee foast mêriu, dy dinsh mee diu ny reddyn shoh?

Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

6

As nish ta fys eu cre ta dy lhiettal eh dy ve er ny hoilshaghey ayns y traa echey hene.

And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.

7

Son ta'n folliaght dy vee-chraueeaght hannah, obbraghey; agh eshyn ta nish lhiettal, [nee eh lhiettal] derrey vees eh goit ass y raad

For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

8

As eisht vees y fer peccoil shen er ny hoilshaghey, eh nee'n Chiarn y choyrt mow liorish ennal e veeal, as stroie lesh soilshey gloyroil y cheet echey:

And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:

9

Dy jarroo eshyn ta'n cheet echey cordail rish gobbraghey Satan, lesh dy chooilley phooar, as cowraghyn, as yindyssyn breagagh,

Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

10

As lesh dy chooilley oalsaght dy neuynrickys, ayndoosyn ta cherraghtyn; er-yn-oyr nagh ghow ad rish graih yn ynrickys, dy voddagh ad ve er nyn sauail.

And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

11

As er-yn-oyr shoh ver Jee huc cleayn lajer, dy jinnagh ad breg y chredjal:

And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

12

Dy voddagh adsyn ooilley ve deyrit nagh ren credjal yn irriney, agh va taitnys oc ayns neu ynrickys

That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

13

Agh ta shin kianlt dy chur booise kinjagh da Jee er nyn son, vraaraghyn, graihagh ayns y Chiarn, son dy vel Jee er-dyn toshiaght er reih shiu gys saualtys, trooid casherickys y Spyrryd, as credjue jeh'n irriney:

But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:

14

Huggey deïe eh erriu liorish y sushtal ainyn, gys cosney gloyr nyn Jiarn Yeesey Creest.

Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

15

Shen-y-fa, vraaraghyn, shass-jee shickyr, as cum-jee gys ny oardaghyn ta shiu er n'ynsaghey, lhig eh ve liorish goan, ny'n screeuyn ain.

Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.

16

Nish dy jean y Chiarn Yeesey Creest hene, as Jee dy jarroo nyn Ayr, t'er ny ve graihagh orrin, as er choyrt dooin gerjagh dy bragh farraghtyn, as treishteil mie, trooid grayse.

Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,

17

Dy gerjee eh [ta mee gra] ny creeaghyn eu, as dy niartee eh shiu ayns dy chooilley ghoo as obbyr vie.

Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.
