Ashlish Yeesey Creest, hug Jee da, dy hoilshaghey da e harvaantyn reddyn shegin dy gerrit cheet gys kione; as ren eh shoh y choyrt as y chowraghey liorish ainle da e harvaant Ean:

The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:

2

Ren gymmyrkey feanish gys goo Yee, as recortys Yeesey Creest, as jeh dy chooilley nhee honnick eh.

Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.

3

Bannit ta eshyn ta lhaih, as adsyn ta clashtyn goan y phadeyrys shoh, as freayll ny reddyn shen ta scruit ayn: son ta'n traa er-gerrey.

Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.

4

Ean gys ny shiaght kialteenyn t'ayns Asia: Grayse dy row hiu, as shee, veihsyn ta, as va, as ta ry-heet: as veih ny shiaght spyrrydyn ta kiongoyrt rish e stoyl-reeoil.

John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;

5

As veih Yeesey Creest, yn feanish firrinagh, as y chied-er-ny-ruggey veih ny merriu, as prince reeaghyn y thallooin: Huggeysyn va graihagh orrin, as ren shinyn y niee veih nyn beccaghyn ayns yn uill echey hene.

And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

6

As ta er n'yannoo shin reeaghyn as saggyrtyn gys Jee as e Ayr; dasyn dy row gloyr as reill son dy bragh as dy bragh. Amen.

And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

7

Cur-my-ner, t'eh cheet lesh bodjallyn; as hee dy chooilley hooill eh, as adsyn myrgeddyn ren eh y hoylley: as nee ooilley kynneeyn y thallooin dobberan kyndagh rish: myr shen dy row, Amen.

Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

8

Mish Alpha as Omega, yn toshiaght as y jerrey, ta'n Chiarn dy ghra, ta, as va, as ta dy heet, Ooilley-niartal.

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

9

Mish Ean, ta myrgeddin nyn mraar, as sheshey ayns seaghyn, as ayns reeriaght as surranse Yeesey Creest, va mee ayns yn ellan, ta enmyssit Patmos, er graih goo Yee, as son recortys Yeesey Creest.

I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

10

Va mee ayns y Spyrryd er laa yn Chiarn, as cheayll mee my chooyl coraa ard, myr jeh cayrn.

I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,

11

Gra, Mish Alpha as Omega, yn chied er as y fer s'jerree: as, Shen t'ou dy akin, scrieu ayns lioar, as cur eh gys ny shiaght kialteenyn ta ayns Asia; gys Ephesus as gys Smyrna, as gys Pergamos, as gys Thyatira, as gys Sardis, as gys Philadelphia, as gys Laodicea.

Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

12

As hyndaa mee dy akin cre voish haink y coraa ren loayrt rhym. As tra va mee er jyndaa, honnick mee shiaght cainleyryn dy airh;

And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;

13

As ayns mean ny shiaght cainleyryn, fer goll-rish yn Mac dooinney, coamrit lesh garmad sheese gys ny cassyn, as kianlt mysh e chleeau lesh cryss dy airh.

And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.

14

Va e chione as e olt bane myr ollan, cha gial as sniaghtey; as va e hooillyn myr lossey dy aile;

His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;

15

As e chassyn goll-rish prash sollys, myr dy beagh ad lheïe ayns coirrey; as e choraa myr sheean ymmodee ushtaghyn.

And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.

16

As va echey ayns e laue yesh shiaght rollageyn: as magh ass e veeal haink cliwe gyere lesh daa foyr: as va e eddin myr y ghrian tra t'eh soilshean ayns e niart.

And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.

17

As tra honnick mee eh, huitt mee sheese ec e chassyn myr marroo: as hug eh e laue-yesh orrym, gra rhym, Ny bee aggle ort; Mish y chied er as y fer s'jerree:

And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:

18

Mish eh ta bio, as va marroo, as cur-my-ner ta mee bio er son dy bragh, Amen; as ta aym ogheryn niurin as baase.

I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

19

Scrieu ny reddyn t'ou er vakin, as ny reddyn ta, as ny reddyn vees ny-yei shoh,

Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;

20

Folliaght ny shiaght rollageyn honnick oo ayns my laue-yesh, as ny shiaght cainleyryn dy airh. Ta ny shiaght rollageyn ainleyn ny shiaght kialteenyn; as ny shiaght cainleyryn honnick oo, t'ad ny shiaght kialteenyn.

The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.
