The Bible

1

As yeeagh mee, as cur-my-ner, hass Eayn er cronk Sion, as marish shiaght feed as kiare thousaneyn, lesh ennym e Ayrey scruit ayns glare nyn eddinyn.

And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.

2

As cheayll mee coraa veih niau, myr sheean ymmodee ushtaghyn, as myr feiyr taarnagh mooar: as cheayll mee kiaull claaseyderyn cloie er nyn glaasaghyn:

And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:

3

As ghow ad myr dy beagh eh arrane noa kiongoyrt rish y stoyl-reeoil, as kiongoyrt rish ny kiare cretooryn bio, as y chanstyr: as cha dod dooinney erbee yn arrane shen y ynsaghey, agh y chiaght feed as kiare thousaneyn, v'er nyn veaysley veih broid y theihll.

And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.

4

Shoh ad nagh row er n'yannoo peccah rish mraane; son moidynyn ad: shoh ad ta geiyrt da'n Eayn raad erbee dy jed eh: v'ad shoh er nyn gosney veih mastey deiney, myr v'ad ny chied messyn da Jee as da'n Eayn.

These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

5

As ayns nyn meeal cha row ry-gheddyn foalsaght erbee: son t'ad gyn-loght kiongoyrt rish stoyl-reeoil Yee.

And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.

6

As honnick mee ainle elley getlagh trooid mean yn aer, as echey yn sushtal dy bragh farraghtyn dy phreacheil dauesyn ta cummal er y thalloo, as da dy chooilley ashoon, as kynney, as glare, as pobble,

And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,

7

Gra lesh ard-choraa, Gow-jee aggle roish Jee, as cur-jee gloyr da; son ta oor y vriwnys echey er jeet: as cur-jee ooashley dasyn chroo niau as thalloo, as yn aarkey, as ny farraneyn ushtey.

Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

8

As haink geiyrt er ainle elley, gra, Ta Babylon er duittym, er duittym, yn ard-valley mooar shen, son dy dug ee er dy chooilley ashoon dy iu jeh feeyn yn vaarderys eck.

And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

9

As hie yn trass ainle geiyrt orroosyn, gra lesh ard-choraa, My ver dooinney erbee ooashley da'n veisht, as da'n jalloo echey, as dy gow eh yn cowrey echey er glare e eddin, ny er e laue,

And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,

10

Nee'n fer cheddin giu jeh feeyn corree Yee, er ny lhieeney da gyn meenaghey dy vyghin, ayns cappan e yymmoose; as bee eh er ny horchaghey lesh aile as brimstone, kionfenish ny ainleyn casherick, as kiongoyrt ish yn Eayn:

The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

11

As ta jaagh yn torchagh oc goll seose son dy bragh as dy bragh: as cha vel fea oc oie ny laa, ta ooashlaghey yn veisht, as e yalloo, ny ocsyn ta goaill orroo cowrey e ennym.

And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

12

Ayns shoh ta meenid ny nooghyn; shoh'n raad t'adsyn ta cur tastey da annaghyn Yee, as da credjue Yeesey.

Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

13

As cheayll mee coraa veih niau, gra rhym, Scrieu, Veih shoh magh, bannit ta ny merriu ta geddyn baase ayns y Chiarn: Dy jarroo myr shen ta'n Spyrryd dy ghra, son t'ad ec fea veih nyn seaghyn; as ta nyn obbraghyn geiyrt daue.

And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.

14

As yeeagh mee, as cur-my-ner, bodjal gial, as er y vodjal hoie fer, goll-rish y Mac dooinney, lesh attey dy airh er e chione, as corran gyere ayns e laue.

And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.

15

As haink ainle elley ass y chiamble, geamagh lesh ard-choraa dasyn va ny hoie er y vodjal, Cur fo dty chorran, as buinn: son ta dty hraa beayney er jeet; son ta fouyr y thallooin creen.

And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.

16

As hug eshyn va ny hoie er y vodjal e chorran gys y thalloo; as va'n thalloo er ny vuinn.

And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.

17

As haink ainle elley ass y chiamble t'ayns niau, lesh corran gyere myrgeddin.

And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.

18

As haink ainle elley veih'n altar, va pooar echey harrish aile; as deïe eh lesh ard-choraa dasyn va'n corran gyere echey, gra, Cur fo dty chorran gyere, as buinn dossyn billey-feeyney'n thallooin; son ta'n mess eck slane appee.

And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.

19

As hug yn ainle e chorran er y thalloo, as hymsee eh billey-feeyney'n thalloo, as cheau eh eh ayns y phress mooar feeyney dy yymmoose Yee.

And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.

20

As va'n press-feeyney stampit cheumooie jeh'n ard-valley, as ren fuill ass y phress-feeyney, roshtyn gys eer streeanyn ny gabbyl, son daa cheead meeilley.

And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.
