Dy beagh shiu er-boayrd steamer awin yinnagh shiu goaill tastey jeh guilley beg yn chabbane; cre cha geyre as t’eh jeeaghyn er yn Vainshter ny hassoo er yn droghad. T’eh er e arrey son cowrey voish laue yn Vainshter, as tra te fakin ny meir echey er ny chassey er lheid yn aght shen t’eh gyllagh magh yn sarey da’n dooinney ta geiyrt er.

If you were on board a river steamer you’d notice the little cabin-boy; how keenly he watches the Master standing on the bridge. He is on the lookout for a hand signal from the Master, and when he sees his fingers turned in such a way he shouts out the order to the man who follows.

She mor shoh, ta shin er ny ynsagh liorish Jee. Cha vel eh loayrt rooin nish mor ve paart dy cheayrtynrish yn sleih ayns yn tra ter gholl shaghey. Agh t’ain dy reayl arrey son gleashagh myr dy beagh eh leeideil shin ayns laghyn ny mea. Nee Jee dy shickyr leeideil shiu, as coyrt shiu er nyn doshiaght as gynsaghey shiu. Myr nee shin jeeaghyn huggey lhig doon hoshagh ooilley prayal son e leeiddeilys as eisht ve er nyn arrey dy akin cre nee eh gra rooin.

And it is like this that we are taught by God. He does not speak to us now as he was sometimes to the people in time gone past. But we have to watch out for a signal as if he were guiding us in the days of our lives. God will surely lead you, and bring you on and teach you. As we look towards him, let all first pray for his guidance and then be on the lookout to see what he says to us.

The end of the verse is a reading of the keeping of the watch - to see what it will say to me, and what I will answer when I am rebuked. Now, it is truly necessary for young Christians to take note of this. Sometimes you may be rebuked. Whether you have been deserving of it or not. Be sure to take time to ask of the Lord how to answer, and then again without doubt it will happen, sometimes, that they will argue with you, maybe friends, or your companions, trying to argue with you about religion. And there is danger in that you won’t answer them wisely. What a blessing it is that there is one who will guide us at such times, if we we look towards him. Lord, do not let me ever forget to be on the lookout for Your guidance, and to see what you will say to me.
