The Bible

1

Chaarjyn, ny cred-jee dy chooilley spyrryd, agh prow-jee ny spyrrydyn vel ad veih Jee: er-yn-oyr dy vel ymmodee phadeyryn foalsey er n'gholl magh 'sy theihll.

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

2

Liorish shoh gow-ee shiu baght jeh Spyrryd Yee: Dy chooilley spyrryd ta goaill-rish dy vel Yeesey Creest er jeet ayns yn eill, t'eh jeh Jee.

Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

3

As dy chooilley spyrryd nagh vel goaill-rish dy vel Yeesey Creest er jeet ayns yn eill, cha vel eh jeh Jee: as shoh spyrryd yn an-chreestee shen, my-e-chione ta shiu er chlashtyn dy row eh ry hoi cheet, as dy jarroo nish hene t'eh hannah 'sy theihll.

And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

4

Ta shiuish jeh Jee, chloan veggey, as er gheddyn y varriaght orroo: er-yn-oyr dy vel eshyn ta ayndiuish ny s'pooaral, na eshyn ta ayns y theihll.

Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

5

T'adsyn jeh'n theihll: shen-y-fa t'ad loayrt jeh'n seihll: as ta'n seihll geaishtagh roo.

They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.

6

Ta shinyn veih Jee: eshyn shione da Jee, t'eh geaishtagh rooin; eshyn nagh vel veih Jee, cha vel eh coyrt clashtyn dooin. Liorish shoh ta shin cronnaghey Spyrryd ny firriney veih n spyrryd dy volteyrys.

We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

7

Chaarjyn ghraihagh, lhig dooin graih y choyrt yn derrey yeh da'n jeh elley: son ta graih jeh Jee; as ta dy chooilley unnane ta graihagh, er ny ruggey jeh Jee, as shione da Jee.

Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

8

Eshyn nagh vel graihagh, cha nione da Jee, son ta Jee graih.

He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

9

Ayns shoh ta graih Yee er ny hoilshaghey dooinyn, er-yn-oyr dy ren Jee e ynrycan er ny-gheddyn Vac y choyrt gys y theihll, dy voddagh shin ve bio ny hrooidsyn.

In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

10

Ayns shoh ta graih, cha nee dy dug shin graih da Jee agh dy dug eshyn graih dooin, as dy ren eh e Vac y choyrt dy ve lhiassaghey son nyn beccaghyn.

Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

11

My chaarjyn, my hug Jee myr shoh graih dooin, lhisagh shinyn myrgeddin graih y choyrt yn derrey yeh da'n jeh elley.

Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

12

Cha vel dooinney erbee er vakin Jee ec traa erbee. My ta shin graihagh yn derrey yeh er y jeh elley, ta Jee tannaghtyn aynin, as ta'n ghraih echey dy firrinagh aynin.

No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

13

Liorish shoh ta fys ain dy vel shin tannaghtyn aynsyn, as eshyn aynin, er-yn-oyr dy vel eh er choyrt dooinyn jeh'n Spyrryd echey.

Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.

14

As ta shin er vakin, as ta shin gymmyrkey feanish dy vel yn Ayr er choyrt yn Mac dy ve Saualtagh y theihll.

And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

15

Quoi-erbee nee goaill-rish dy nee Yeesey Mac Yee, ta Jee tannaghtyn aynsyn, as eshyn ayns Jee.

Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.

16

As ta shin er hoiggal as er chredjal yn ghraih t'ec Jee dooinyn. Ta Jee graih; as eshyn ta tannaghtyn ayns graih, t'eh tannaghtyn ayns Jee, as Jee aynsyn.

And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

17

Ayns shoh ta'n ghraih ain soilshit dy ve firrinagh, dy vel dunnallys ain ayns laa yn vriwnys; er-yn-oyr myr ta eshyn, myr shen ta shinyn ayns y theihll shoh.

Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

18

Cha vel veg yn aggle ayns graih; agh ta graih firrinagh ceau jeh aggle; son raad ta aggle ta torchagh: eshyn ta fo aggle, cha vel eh firrinagh ayns graih.

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

19

Ta graih ain ersyn, er-yn-oyr dy dug eshyn hoshiaght graih dooin.

We love him, because he first loved us.

20

My ta dooinney gra, Ta graih aym er Jee, as dwoaie echey er e vraar, t'eh ny vreagerey: son eshyn nagh nhynney lesh e vraar t'eh er vakin, kys oddys eh graih y choyrt da Jee nagh vel eh er vakin?

If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

21

As shoh yn sarey t'ain veihsyn, Eshyn ta graihagh er Jee, dy der eh graih da e vraar myrgeddin.

And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
