Gys ainle agglish Ephesus, scrieu Ny reddyn shoh ta eshyn dy ghra ta cummal ny shiaght rollageyn ayns e laue yesh, ta shooyl mastey ny shiaght cainleyryn dy airh;

Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;

Shione dou dty obbraghyn, as dty hooilleil, as dty hurranse, as kys nagh vod oo gymmyrkey lhieusyn ta olk: as t'ou er phrowal adsyn ta gra dy nee ostyllyn ad, agh cha vel ad; as er gheddyn ad magh dy ve nyn mreageryn:

I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:

As t'ou er n'ymmyrkey yn errey, as ta ayd meenid, as er graih my ennym t'ou er hooilleil, as cha vel oo er choayl dty chree.

And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.

Ny-yeih ta red ennagh aym dt'oi, er-yn-oyr dy vel oo er hreigeil dty chied ghraih.

Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.

Cooinee er-y-fa shen cre voish t'ou er duittym, as gow arrys, as jean dty chied obbraghyn; er-nonney higym hood dy tappee, as scugh-ym dty chainleyr ass e ynnyd, mannagh gow arrys.

Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

Agh ta'n goo shoh ayd, dy vel dwoaie ayd er obbraghyn ny Nicolaitanee, orroo ta dwoaie aym's myrgeddin.

But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.

Eshyn ta cleaysh echey, lhig da clashtyn cre ta'n Spyrryd dy ghra rish ny kialteenyn. Dasyn yiow yn varriaght ver-ym's dy ee jeh billey yn vea, ta ayns mean paradise Yee.

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

As gys ainle agglish Smyrna, scrieu, Ny reddyn shoh ta'n chied er as y fer s'jerrey dy ghra, va marroo, as ta bio;

And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;

Shione dou dty obbraghyn, as dty heaghyn, as dty voghtynid (agh t'ou berchagh,) as ta fys aym er yn oltooan ocsyn ta gra dy nee Hewnyn ad, as nagh vel, agh keeill y Drogh spyrryd.

I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

Ny gow aggle roish veg jeh ny reddyn shen nee oo surranse: cur-my-ner, nee yn drogh-spyrryd paart eu y hilgey ayns pryssoon dy vod shiu v'er nyn browal; as bee shiu fo tranlaase jeih laa: bee uss firrinagh gys y vaase, as ver-yms dhyt attey dy vea.

Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

Eshyn ta cleaysh echey, lhig eh clashtyn cre ta'n Spyrryd dy ghra rish ny kialteenyn, Cha vow eshyn ta geddyn y varriaght, aggair liorish y nah vaase.

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.

As gys ainle agglish Pergamos, scrieu, Ny reddyn shoh ta eshyn gra, echey ta'n cliwe gyere lesh daa foyr;

And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;

Shione dou dty obbraghyn, as dty chummal, dy jarroo raad ta stoyl reill Noid-ny-hanmey; as t'ou lhiantyn shickyr gys m'ennym, as cha vel oo er n'obbal my chredjue, eer ayns ny laghyn shen ayndoo va Antipas my eanish firrinagh, v'er ny choyrt dy baase nyn mast' eu, raad ta'n Drogh-spyrryd cummal.

I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.

Agh ta red ennagh aym dt'oi, er-yn-oyr dy vel ayd ayns shen adsyn ta lhiantyn gys coyrle Balaam, dynsee Balak dy hoiaghey ribbey roish cloan Israel, dy ee reddyn v'er ny ouralley gys jallooyn, as dy chur rish maarderys.

But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.

Myr shen myrgeddin t'adsyn mayrt ta cummal credjue ny Nicolaitanee, red ta dwoaie aym er.

So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate.

Gow arrys; er-nonney hig-ym hood dy tappee; as nee'm caggey nyn'oï oc lesh cliwe my veeal.

Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.

Eshyn ta cleaysh echey, lhig eh clashtyn cre ta'n Spyrryd dy ghra rish ny kialteenyn. Dasyn ta geddyn yn varriaght ver-yms dy ee jeh'n manna follit, as ver-ym da clagh vane, as er y chlagh ennym noa scruit, nagh nione da dooinney erbee, agh eshyn ta dy gheddyn eh.

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.

As gys ainle agglish Thyatira, scrieu, Ny reddyn shoh ta Mac Yee dy ghra, ny sooillyn echey ta myr lossey dy aile, as e chassyn goll rish prash sollys;

And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;

Shione dou dt'obbraghyn, as dty ghiastyllys, as dty hirveish, as dty chredjue, as dty hurranse, as dt'obbraghyn s'jerree dy ve ny share na'n toshiaght.

I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.

Ny-yeih, ta reddyn ennagh aym dy choyrt dty lieh, er-y-fa dy vel uss lhiggey da'n ven shen Jezebel, ta goaill urree dy ve ny adeyr, dy ynsaghey as dy chleayney my harvaantyn dy chur rish maarderys, as dy ghoaill commee ayns ny reddyn t'er ny ouralley gys jallooyn.

Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.

As hug mee traa jee dy ghoaill arrys jeh'n vaarderys eck, as cha ren ee arrys y ghoaill.

And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.

Cur-my-ner, tilg-yms ee er lhiabbee, as adsyn ta brishey poosey maree ayns seaghyn trome, mannagh gow ad arrys jeh nyn obbraghyn.

Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.

As stroie ym yn chloan eck lesh baase; as bee fys ec ooilley ny kialteenyn dy nee mish eh ta ronsaghey ny meeaghyn as y cree: as ver-yms da dagh unnane eu cordail rish nyn obbraghyn.

And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.

Agh riuish ta mee gra, as rish y vooinjer elley ta ayns Thyatira, Whilleen as nagh vel yn ynsagh shoh oc, as nagh vel er doiggal croutyn dowiney yn Drogh spyrryd, myr jir ad, cha der ym erriu erree erbee sodjey.

But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.

Agh cum-jee shickyr shen ny t'eu hannah, derrey hig-ym.

But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.

As eshyn ta geddyn y varriaght, as freayll my obbraghyn gys y jerrey dasyn ver-ym pooar harrish ny ashoonyn:

And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:

As nee eh reill ad lesh lorg-reill dy yiarn; as myr siyn-craie bee ad brisht ayns peeshyn: myr ta mish myrgeddin er gheddyn veih my Ayr.

And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.

As ver-ym dasyn rollage y voghrey.

And I will give him the morning star.

Eshyn ta cleaysh echey, lhig da clashtyn ny ta'n Spyrryd dy ghra rish ny kialteenyn.

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
