The Bible

1

As hass mee er genniagh ny marrey, as honnick mee beisht troggal ass yn aarkey, lesh shiaght king, as jeih eairkyn, as er e eairkyn jeih attaghyn, as er ny king echey va enmyn mollaghtagh.

And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

2

As va'n veisht honnick mee goll rish leopard, as va ny cassyn echey myr cassyn bear, as e veeal myr beeal lion: as hug y dragon e phooar da as e stoyl, as reill mooar.

And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

3

As honnick mee unnane jeh ny king echey, myr dy beagh eh guint dy baase; as va'n lhot baaish echey er ny lheihys: as hie ooilley'n seihll ayns yindys geiyrt er y vaagh.

And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

4

As hug ad ooashley da'n dragon hug pooar da'n veisht: as hug ad ooashley da'n veisht, gra, Quoi ta goll-rish y veisht? quoi oddys caggey n'oi?

And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?

5

As va beeal er ny choyrt da, loayrt reddyn mooaralagh as mollaghtagh; as va pooar echey dy hannaghtyn daa vee as da-eed.

And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

6

As doshil eh e veeal ayns goan mollaghtagh noi Jee, dy oltooaney e ennym, as e chabbane-agglish, as noi cummaltee niau.

And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

7

As va pooar er ny choyrt da dy chaggey noi ny nooghyn, as dy gheddyn yn varriaght orroo: as va pooar er ny choyrt da harrish dy chooilley chynney, as glare, as ashoon.

And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

8

As ver ooilley cummaltee yn theihll ooashley da, nyn enmyn nagh vel scruit ayns lioar bea yn Eayn er ny varroo er-dy hoshiaght y theihll.

And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

9

My ta cleaysh ec dooinney erbee, lhig da clashtyn.

If any man have an ear, let him hear.

10

Eshyn ta leeideil gys cappeeys, hed [eh hene] gys cappeeys: Eshyn ta marroo lesh y chliwe, bee eh er ny varroo lesh y chliwe. Ayns shoh ta meenid as credjue ny nooghyn.

He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

11

As hug mee my-ner beisht elley troggal ass y thalloo, as va daa eairk echey gollrish eayn, as loayr eh myr dragon.

And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

12

As t'eh goaill er ooilley pooar yn chied veisht va roish; as t'eh cur er y theihll, as ny cummaltee echey, dy choyrt ooashley da'n chied veisht, yn lhot baaish echey v'er ny lheihys.

And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

13

As t'eh jannoo yindyssyn mooarey, myr shen dy vel eh cur er aile dy heet neose veih'n aer er y thalloo, ayns shilley deiney,

And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

14

As t'eh molley adsyn ta cummal er y thalloo, liorish ny mirrilyn shen va pooar echey dy yannoo ayns shilley'n veisht, gra rish cummaltee'n thallooin dy yannoo jalloo da'n veisht va lhottit liorish y chliwe, as va bio.

And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

15

As va pooar echey dy choyrt bioys da jalloo yn veisht, dy jinnagh jalloo yn veisht chammah loayrt, as cur er whilleen as nagh jinnagh ooashley da jalloo yn veisht dy ve er nyn goyrt dy baase.

And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

16

As t'eh cur er ooilley chammah beg as mooar, berchagh as boght, seyr as ayns bondiaght, dy ve cowrit ayns nyn laue-yesh, ny ayns glare nyn eddin:

And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

17

As nagh voddagh dooinney erbee kionnaghey ny creck, agh eshyn va cowrey, ny ennym y veisht er, ny earroo yn ennym echey.

And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

18

Ayns shoh ta creenaght. Lhig dasyn ta tushtey echey coontey earroo yn veisht: son earroo dooinney eh; as ta'n earroo echey shey cheead three-feed as shey.

Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
