The Bible

Myrgeddin, shiuish vraane-poost bee-jee ayns biallys da ny sheshaghyn eu; my ta veg jeusyn nagh vel biallagh da'n goo, dy vod ad myrgeddin fegooish y goo ve er ny chosney liorish ymmyrkey-bea ny mraane.

Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;

Tra t'ad cur-my-ner yn ymmyrkey sheelt eu ayns aggle Yee.

While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.

Yn soiaghey magh eu ayns nyn goamrey ny lhig da ve shen er y cheu-mooie jeh fee yn folt, ny ceau airh, ny cur erriu coamrey [moyrnagh]:

Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;

Agh lhig da ve yn dooinney follit 'sy chree, ayns shen nagh jed naardey, dy jarroo yn coamrey dy spyrryd meen as feagh, ta mooar soit jeh ayns shilley Yee.

But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.

Son er yn aght shoh 'sy chenn earish, ren ny mraane crauee myrgeddin, va coyrt nyn dreishteil ayns Jee, ad-hene y choamrey, ayns biallys da ny deiney-poost oc hene.

For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands:

Dy jarroo myr ren Sara biallys y choyrt da Abraham, genmys eh ny hiarn: ny inneenyn eck ta shiuish, choud as nee shiu dy mie, as ny bee-jee agglit veih nyn gurrym lesh seaghyn erbee.

Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.

Myrgeddin, shiuish gheiney-poost, jean-jee baghey mâroo cordail rish tushtey, coyrt onnor da'n ven myr da'n saagh s'annooinee, as myr co-eiraghyn jeh grayse y vea; nagh bee ny padjeryn eu er nyn lhiettal.

Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.

Er-jerrey, bee-jee ooilley jeh un aigney, chymmoil yn derrey yeh jeh'n jeh elley, cur-jee graih myr braaraghyn, bee-jee lane dy hymmey, bee-jee dooie:

Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:

Cha nee cooilleeney olk son olk, ny oltooan son oltooan: agh ayns ynnyd shen, bannaghey; toiggal dy vel shiu gys shoh er nyn eam, dy vod shiu bannaght y gheddyn myr eiraght.

Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.

Son eshyn saillish ve graihagh er bea, as laghyn mie y akin, lhig da e hengey y smaghtaghey veih olk, as e veillyn nagh loayr ad veg y volteyraght.

For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:

Lhig da chea veih olk, as jannoo mie; lhig da shee y hirrey, as lhiantyn huggey.

Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.

Son ta sooillyn y Chiarn er y vooinjer ynrick, as e chleayshyn foshlit gys ny padjeryn oc: agh ta eddin y Chiarn noi ocsyn ta jannoo olk.

For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.

As quoi eh nee aggair diu, my eiyrys shiu da shen ny ta mie?

And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?

Agh foast my ta shiu surranse er coontey ynrickys, s'maynrey shiu: as ny bee-jee agglagh roish y baggyrt oc, chamoo bee-jee seaghnit;

But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;

Agh jean-jee yn Chiarn Jee y chasherickey ayns nyn greeaghyn: as bee-jee kinjagh aarloo dy chur ansoor da dy chooilley ghooinney ta shirrey oyr son y treishteil t'ayndiu, lesh meenid as arrym:

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

Freayll cooinsheanse vie; son wheesh as dy vel ad goltooaney shiuish myr drogh-yantee, dy vod ad nearey 'ghoaill ta cassid dy foalsey yn ymmyrkey-bea vie eu ayns Creest.

Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.

Son te ny share, my she aigney Yee eh, dy jean shiu surranse son jannoo dy mie, na son jannoo dy olk.

For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.

Son ta Creest myrgeddin er hurranse un cheayrt son peccaghyn, yn fer-cairagh son ny mee-chairee, (dy voddagh eh shin y chur lesh gys Jee,) v'eh er ny choyrt gy baase ayns yn eill, agh er ny vioghey liorish y Spyrryd:

For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

Liorish y Spyrryd cheddin shen hie eh as ren eh preacheil gys ny spyrrydyn ayns pryssoon;

By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;

Va roish nish mee-viallagh, tra ren surranse-foddey Yee farkiagh ayns laghyn Noah, choud as va'n arg dy hroggal; aynjee va beggan-beg, ta shen, hoght anmeenyn, er nyn sauail liorish ushtey.

Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.

Yn co-soylaghey jeh shoh, dy jarroo bashtey, ta nish myrgeddin sauail shin, (cha nee liorish cur ersooyl broid yn eill, agh liorish yn ansoor dy chooinsheanse vie gys Jee,) trooid irree-seose-reesht Yeesey Creest:

The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:

Ta er gholl gys niau, as ta er laue yesh Yee, huggeysyn ta ainleyn as ard-reillyn, as pooaraghyn er nyn injillaghey.

Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
