The Bible

1

Lurg shoh yeeagh mee, as cur-my-ner, va dorrys er ny osley ayns niau: as va'n chied choraa cheayll mee, myr dy beagh eh cayrn taggloo rhym; dooyrt rhym, Tar seose Gys shoh, as jeeagh-ym dhyt reddyn shegin ve ny lurg shoh.

After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.

2

As chelleeragh va mee ayns y Spyrryd; as cur-my-ner, va stoyl-reeoil soit ayns niau, as hoie fer er y stoyl-reeoil.

And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.

3

As v'eshyn ren soie, dy yeeaghyn er, casley rish jasper, as clagh sardine; as va goll twoaie runt mygeayrt y stoyl-reeoil, ayns shilley myr emerald.

And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.

4

As runt mygeayrt y stoyl-reeoil va kiare stuill as feed; as er ny stuill honnick mee kiare shanstyryn as feed nyn soie, coamrit ayns coamrey gial; as v'oc er nyn ging attaghyn dy airh.

And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.

5

As magh ass y stoyl-reeoil haink tendreilyn, as taarnaghyn, as coraaghyn. As va shiaght lampyn dy aile, lossey kiongoyrt rish y stoyl-reeoil, shen ta shiaght spyrrydyn Yee.

And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

6

As kiongoyrt rish y stoyl-reeoil va faarkey dy ghless, goll-rish crystal: as ayns mean y stoyl-reeoil as cruin mygeayrt y stoyl-reeoil, va kiare beiyn lane dy hooillyn cheu-veealloo as cheu-chooylloo.

And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.

7

As va'n chied chretoor casley rish lion, as va'n nah chretoor goll-rish lheiy, as va eddin ec y trass chretoor goll-rish dooinney, as va'n chiarroo chretoor myr urley ta getlagh.

And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.

8

As v'ec dagh fer jeh ny kiare cretooryn shey skianyn mygeayrt-y-mish, as v'ad lane dy hooillyn cheu-sthie, as cha vel ad scuirr laa ny oie, gra, Casherick, casherick, Hiarn Yee Ooilley-niartal, va, as ta, as ta ry-heet.

And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.

9

As choud as ta ny cretooryn shen coyrt gloyr, as ooashley, as booise dasyn va ny hoie er y stoyl-reeoil, as bio son dy bragh as dy bragh.

And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,

10

Ta ny kiare shanstyryn as feed tuittym sheese kiongoyrt rishyn va ny hoie er y stoyl-reeoil, as coyrt ooashley dasyn ta bio son dy bragh as dy bragh, as t'ad ceau sheese ny attaghyn oc kiongoyrt rish y stoyl-reeoil, gra.

The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,

11

T'ou feeu, O Hiarn, dy gheddyn gloyr, as ooashley as pooar; son t'ou er chroo dy chooilley nhee, as son dty aigney hene t'ad, as v'ad er nyn groo.

Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
