Peddyr ostyl Yeesey Creest, gys ny joarreeyn er ny skeayley trooid magh Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia as Bithynia,

Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,

2

Reiht cordail rish tushtey ro-laue Yee yn Ayr, trooid casherickys y Spyrryd gys biallys, as gys spreih fuill Yeesey Creest: Grayse dy row hiu, as shee dy row er ny vishaghey.

Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.

3

Bannit dy row Jee as Ayr nyn Jiarn Yeesey Creest, ta cordail rish e vyghin vooar er n'gheddyn shin reesht gys treishteil bioal, liorish irree seose-reesht Yeesey Creest veih ny merriu.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

4

Gys eiraght shickyr as casherick, as nagh vel lheie ersooyl, kiarit ayns niau nyn gour euish,

To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,

5

Ta er nyn vendeil liorish pooar Yee trooid credjue gys saualtys, aarloo dy ve er ny hoilshaghey ec y laa jerrinagh.

Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

6

Son shoh ta shiu goaill mooarane boggey, ga nish son tammylt beg (my she aigney Yee eh) ta shiu ayns trimshey trooid ymmodee seaghyn:

Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:

7

Dy vod prowal nyn gredjue ta foddey s costal na airh ta ceau ersooyl, ga er ny hrial lesh aile, ve er ny gheddyn gys moylley, as ooashley, as gloyr ec cheet Yeesey Creest:

That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

8

Ersyn ta shiu graihagh, ga nagh vel shiu er vakin eh; ayn, ga nagh vel shiu nish fakin eh, ny-yeih credjal, ta shiu goaill boggey lesh boggey erskyn insh, as lane dy ghloyr:

Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:

9

Cosney jerrey nyn gredjue, dy feer saualtys nyn anmeenyn.

Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

10

Mychione y taualtys cheddin ta ny phadeyryn er vriaght, as er ronsaghey dy imneagh, ren phadeyrys jeh'n ghrayse va ry-hoi cheet hiu.

Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:

11

Ronsaghey cre, ny cre'n imbagh dy hraa ren Spyrryd Chreest va ayndoo cowraghey, tra dymmyrk eh feanish ro-laue jeh surranse Chreest, as yn ghloyr va dy eiyrt er.

Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.

12

Dauesyn ve er ny hoilshaghey, nagh nee daue hene, agh dooinyn, ren ad shirveish ny reddyn ta nish er ny ockley magh lioroosyn ta er phreacheil y sushtal diuish, marish yn Spyrryd Noo er ny choyrt neose veih niau, ny reddyn cheddin ta ny ainleyn geearree baght y gheddyn jeu.

Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.

13

Shen-y-fa kiartee-jee seose meeghyn nyn aigney, bee-jee sheelt, as treisht-jee gys y jerrey, son y ghrayse vees er ny choyrt diu tra vees Yeesey Creest er ny hoilshaghey;

Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

14

Myr cloan biallagh, cha nee cummey shiu hene cordail rish ny shenn chliaghtaghyn, ayns y vee-hushtey eu:

As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:

15

Agh myr ta eshyn ta er n'eamagh erriu casherick, myr shen bee-jee shiuish casherick ayns nyn slane ymmyrkey-bea.

But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;

16

Son t'eh scruit, Bee-jee casherick, son ta mish casherick.

Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

17

As my ta shiu genmys eshyn nyn Ayr, ta fegooish jannoo soiagh jeh persoonyn, briwnys cordail rish obbyr dy chooilley ghooinney, ceau-jee earish nyn droailtys ayns shoh ayns aggle:

And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:

18

Son wheesh as dy vel fys eu nagh row shiu er nyn gionnaghey lesh reddyn ta goll-mow, myr argid as airh, veih ny cliaghtaghyn fardalagh v'er nyn livrey diu veih nyn ayraghyn;

Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;

19

Agh lesh fuill deyr Chreest, myr jeh eayn fegooish lheamys, as fegooish cron:

But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

20

Va dy firrinagh er ny oardaghey ro-laue er-dy hoshiaght y theihll, agh er ny hoilshaghey ayns ny traaghyn s'jerree she er y ghraih euish.

Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,

21

Ta liorishyn credjal ayns Jee, hrog eh seose veih ny merriu, as hug da gloyr, dy voddagh nyn gredjue as nyn dreishteil ve ayns Jee.

Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.

22

Fakin dy vel shiu er chasherickey nyn anmeenyn ayns cur biallys da'n irriney trooid y Spyrryd, gys graih firrinagh jeh ny braaraghyn; Jeeagh dy bee-jee dy jeean graihagh yn derrey yeh er y jeh elley lesh cree glen:

Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:

23

Myr ta shiu ruggit reesht, cha nee jeh rass hed naardey, agh jeh rass nagh jed naardey, liorish goo Yee, ta bio as tannaghtyn son dy bragh.

Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

24

Son ta dy chooilley eill myr faiyr, as ooilley aalid dooinney myr blaa faiyr. Ta'n faiyr fioghey as ta e vlaa tuittym ersooyl:

For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:

25

Agh ta goo Yee tannaghtyn son dy bragh. As shoh'n goo t'er ny phreacheil diu liorish y sushtal.

But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
