| Ta shin çheet kiongoyrt Rhyt ayns Ennyn Yeesey Chreest nyn Saualtagh imlee dy hirrey[1] son yn ghooit jeh Dty Spyrryd Casherick, dy ve deayrtit ayns nyn ghreeaghyn dy vod mayd ooilley ve er ny ynsaghey Lioart Hene. Ta shin gennaghtyn as dobberan nyn ymmodee peccaghyn as lhiastid nyn ghreeaghyn dy ghoaill as dy hoiggal Dty ghoo casherick. | We come before Thee in the Name of Jesus Christ our Humble Saviour to search for the gift of Thy Holy Spirit, to be poured into our hearts that we may all be instructed by Thee. We recognise and mourn our many sins and the reluctance of our hearts to take and to understand your Holy Word. | |

imlee dy hirrey— the expected word order here would be dy hirrey dy imlee, or perhaps dy hirrey imlee— ‘to seek humbly’. Ned Beg’s word order suggests an error caused by word for word translation from English.

Send us we beseech of Thee the spirit of thy wisdom and intelligence, and recognition of Christ. | |
| Ta shin prayal son yn Spyrryd Noo e hene as imlee gwee dy vod eh çheet hooin as leeideil shin ayns yn irriney as goaill jeh reddyn Chreest as soilshagh ad dooinyn. Ta shin boght as doal peccee gorraghey. | We pray for the Holy Ghost itself and humbly beseech that it may come to us and lead us in the truth and take from Christ’s things and explain them to us. We are poor and blind; dark sinners. | |

boght as doal peccee ghorraghey — the expected word order here would be peccee ghorraghey; boght as doal— ‘dark sinners; poor and blind sinners’. Again, Ned Beg’s word order suggests an error caused by word for word translation from English.
