As gys ainle yn agglish t'ayns Sardis, scrieu, Ny reddyn shoh t'eshyn gra, echey ta ny shiaght Spyrrydyn dy Yee, as ny shiaght rollageyn; Shione dou dty obbraghyn, dy vel goo ayd dy vel oo bio, agh t'ou marroo.

And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.

2

Bee er dty arrey, as niartee ny reddyn ta er-mayrn, ta aarloo dy gholl naardey: son cha vel mee er gheddyn dty obbraghyn dy slane cooilleenit fenish Yee.

Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.

3

Cooinee, er-y-fa shen, kys t'ou er gheddyn as er chlashtyn, as cum shickyr, as gow arrys. Mannagh bee oo er-y-fa shen er dty arrey, hig-ym ort myr maarliagh, as cha bee fys ayd cre'n oor hig-ym ort.

Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

4

Ta regyryn dy enmyn ayd ayns Sardis hene, nagh vel er sollaghey nyn gharmadyn; as nee ad shooyl marym's ayns coamraghyn gial: son t'ad feeu.

Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.

5

Bee eshyn yiow yn varriaght, coamrit ayns garmad gial; as cha der-ym yn ennym echey ass lioar y yea, agh goym rish e ennym kiongoyrt rish my Ayr, as fenish e ainleyn.

He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

6

Eshyn ta cleaysh echey, lhig eh 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.

7

As gys ainle agglish Philadelphia, scrieu, Ny reddyn shoh ta'n fer casherick, yn er firrinagh dy ghra, eshyn ta ogher Ghavid echey, eshyn ta fosley, as cha vel dooinney erbee jeigh; as ta jeigh, as cha vel fer erbee fosley:

And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;

8

Shione dou dty obbraghyn: cur-my-ner, ta mee er hoiaghey royd dorrys foshlit, as cha vod dooinney y yeigh eh: son ta red beg dy vree aynyd, as t'ou er vreayll my ghoo, as cha vel oo er obbal my ennym.

I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.

9

Cur-my-ner, ver-ym orroosyn jeh keeill Satan (ta gra dy nee Hewnyn ad, as nagh nee, agh ta breagagh) cur-my-ner, ver-yms orroo cheet as ooashley 'choyrt ec dty chassyn, as toiggal dy vel mish er ve graihagh ort.

Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

10

Er-yn-oyr dy vel oo er vreayll goo my hurranse, freill-yms uss myrgeddin veih'n oor dy hrial, ta ry-hoi cheet er ooilley'n seihll, dy phrowal adsyn ta baghey er y thalloo.

Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

11

Cur-my-ner, ta mee cheet dy tappee: cum shickyr ny t'ayd, son nagh gow dooinney erbee dty attey void.

Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

12

Eshyn ta cosney'n varriaght, neem's pillar jeh ayns chiamble Yee, as cha jed eh magh ass arragh: as scrieu-yms er ennym my Yee, as ennym ard-valley my Yee, yn Jerusalem noa, ta cheet neose veih niau voish my Yee; as scrieu-yms er my ennym noa.

Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.

13

Eshyn ta cleaysh echey, lhig eh 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.

14

As gys ainle agglish ny Laodiceanee scrieu, Ny reddyn shoh ta'n Amen dy ghra, yn feanish ynrick as firrinagh, toshiaght chroo Yee;

And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

15

Shione dou dty obbraghyn, nagh vel oo edyr feayr ny cheh: baill-ym dy beagh oo edyr feayr ny cheh.

I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

16

Myr shen er-yn-oyr dy vel oo eddyr y jees, as nagh vel oo edyr feayr ny cheh, tilg-ym oo magh ass my veeal:

So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

17

Son dy vel oo gra, Ta mee berchagh, as er vishaghey ayns cooid, as nagh vel mee feme nhee erbee; as cha vel oo goaill hood hene dy vel oo treih, as seaghnit, as boght, as doal, as rooisht.

Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

18

Ta mee cur coyrle dhyt dy chionnaghey voym airh er ny phrowal 'syn aile, dy vod oo ve berchagh; as coamrey gial, dy vod oo ve coodit, as nagh bee dty nearey er ny akin; as jean dty hooillyn y ooillaghey lesh shelliu-sooilley, dy vod oo fakin.

I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

19

Whilleen as ta mee graihagh orroo, ta mee cur oghsan daue, as dy smaghtaghey ad: bee jeean er-y-fa shen, as gow arrys.

As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

20

Cur-my-ner, ta mee my hassoo ec y dorrys, as shirrey fosley: My ver dooinney erbee clashtyn da my choraa, as y dorrys y osley, higym stiagh huggey, as nee'm shibber y ghoaill marish, as eshyn marym's.

Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

21

Dasyn ta geddyn y varriaght low-yms dy hoie marym er my stoyl-reeoil, myr hooar mish myrgeddin yn varriaght as ta mee er hoie sheese marish my Ayr er y stoyl-reeoil echeysyn.

To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

22

Eshyn ta cleaysh echey, lhig eh 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.
