And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.

2

Agh y chooyrt ta cheu-mooie jeh'n chiamble, faag voïd eh, as ny towse eh; son te er ny choyrt da ny Ashoonee: as yn ard-valley casherick stampee ad fo-chosh daa vee as da-eed.

As my nee dooinney erbee aggair daue, ta aile cheet magh ass nyn meeal, dy stroie nyn noidyn: as my nee dooinney erbee aggair daue, shoh myr vees eh er ny choyrt dy baase.

And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.

6

Oc shoh ta pooar dy yeigh niau, nagh bee fliaghey ayn rish traa yn phadeyrys oc: as ta pooar oc harrish ny ushtaghyn dy hyndaa ad ayns fuill, as dy woalley yn thalloo lesh dy chooilley cherraghey, cha mennick as sailliu.

These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.

7

As tra vees ad er chooilleeney nyn veanish, nee'n veisht ta girree ass y diunid gyn-grunt, caggey nyn 'oï, as yiow eh yn varriaght harrystoo, as ver eh ad dy baase.

And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.

10

As bee cummaltee yn thallooin boggyssagh harrystoo, as bee ad gennal, as ver ad giootyn da 'cheilley; er-yn-oyr dy ren y daa phadeyr shoh adsyn y heaghney va baghey er y thalloo.

And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.

11

As lurg three laa dy lieh, hie'n Spyrryd dy vea veih Jee stiagh ayndoo: as hass ad er nyn gassyn, as huitt aggle mooar orroosyn honnick ad.

And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

19

As va chiamble Yee er ny osley ayns niau, as va arg e chonaant er ny akin ayns e hiamble: as va tendreilyn, as coraaghyn, as taarnaghyn, as craa-hallooin, as claghyn mooarey sniaghtee.
