1 Eiyr-jee da’n ynrickys, shiuish vriwnyn ny hooirey: smooinee-jee er y Chiarn lesh cree mie as ayns ynrickys cree shir-jee huggey.
|
1 Love righteousness, ye that be judges of the earth: think of the Lord with a good (heart,) and in simplicity of heart seek him.
|
|
2 Son bee eh er ny gheddyn lioroosyn nagh vel dy vrasnaghey eh: as t’eh soilshaghey eh hene dauesyn nagh vel jannoo mee-hreishteil er.
|
2 For he will be found of them that tempt him not; and sheweth himself unto such as do not distrust him.
|
|
3 Son ta smooinaghtyn camlaagagh scarrey shin veih Jee: as ta e phooar, tra te er ny vrasnaghey, smaghtaghey ny mee-cheeayllee.
|
3 For froward thoughts separate from God: and his power, when it is tried, reproveth the unwise.
|
|
4 Son ayns annym goanlyssagh cha jean creenaght tannaghtyn; ny cummal ayns y challin ta fo ream peccah.
|
4 For into a malicious soul wisdom shall not enter; nor dwell in the body that is subject unto sin.
|
|
5 Son nee yn spyrryd casherick dy ynsaghey chea veih molteyrys, as scughey veih smooinaghtyn neu-hushtagh, as cha nuirree eh raad ta neu-ynrickys cheet stiagh.
|
5 For the holy spirit of discipline will flee deceit, and remove from thoughts that are without understanding, and will not abide when unrighteousness cometh in.
|
|
6 Son ta creenaght ny spyrryd graihagh: as cha jean eh seyrey yn mollaghtagh ayns e ghoan; son ta Jee feanish cheu-sthie jeh, as dy baghtal cur-my-ner e chree, as clashtyn e ghoan.
|
6 For wisdom is a loving spirit; and will not acquit a blasphemer of his words: for God is witness of his reins, and a true beholder of his heart, and a hearer of his tongue.
|
|
7 Son ta spyrryd y Chiarn lhieeney yn seihll: as t’eshyn, ta cummal seose dagh nhee, toiggal e choraa.
|
7 For the Spirit of the Lord filleth the world: and that which containeth all things hath knowledge of the voice.
|
|
8 Shen-y-fa cha vod eshyn ve keillit ta loayrt goan mee-chrauee; chamoo nee chooilleeney, tra t’ee kerraghey, shaghney eh.
|
8 Therefore he that speaketh unrighteous things cannot be hid: neither shall vengeance, when it punisheth, pass by him.
|
|
9 Son bee briaght jeant ayns coyrleyn yn er mee-chrauee; as nee coraa e ghoan roshtyn gys y Chiarn, dy hoilshaghey e obbraghyn peccoil.
|
9 For inquisition shall be made into the counsels of the ungodly: and the sound of his words shall come unto the Lord for the manifestation of his wicked deeds.
|
|
10 Son ta’n chleaysh eadolagh clashtyn dy chooilley nhee, chamoo ta’n accan trughanagh er ny cheiltyn.
|
10 For the ear of jealousy heareth all things: and the noise of murmurings is not hid.
|
|
11 Shen-y-fa faag-jee veue tallagh gyn-foaynoo as smaght-jee nyn jengey veih cooyl-chassid: son cha vel fockle erbee cha follit shen, nagh bee er ny vriwnys; as ta’n beeal breagagh stroie yn annym.
|
11 Therefore beware of murmuring, which is unprofitable; and refrain your tongue from backbiting: for there is no word so secret, that shall go for nought: and the mouth that belieth slayeth the soul.
|
|
12 Ny shir-jee baase liorish shaghrynys nyn mea: as ny tayrn-jee erriu hene toyrt-mow lesh obbyr nyn laueyn.
|
12 Seek not death in the error of your life: and pull not upon yourselves destruction with the works of your hands.
|
|
13 Son cha chroo Jee yn baase: chamoo ta taitnys echey ayns toyrt-mow ny bioee.
|
13 For God made not death: neither hath he pleasure in the destruction of the living.
|
|
14 Son chroo eshyn dy chooilley nhee dy ve beayn: as va sheelogheyn y theihll slayntoil: as cha vel pyshoon dy varvaanys ayndoo: ny reeriaght y vaaish er yn ooir.
|
14 For he created all things, that they might have their being: and the generations of the world were healthful; and there is no poison of destruction in them, nor the kingdom of death upon the earth:
|
|
15 Son ta ynrickys dy bragh beayn.
|
15 (For righteousness is immortal:)
|
|
16 Agh ren deiney mee-chrauee lesh nyn yannoo, as nyn ghoan, [baase] y hayrn orroo hene: son tra smooinee ad dy beagh eh nyn garrey, hie ad naardey, as ren ad conaant rish, toilliu dy ghoaill ayrn mârish.
|
16 But ungodly men with their works and words called it to them: for when they thought to have it their friend, they consumed to nought, and made a covenant with it, because they are worthy to take part with it.

1 Son dooyrt ny mee-chrauee, resooney roo hene, agh dy aggairagh, Giare as deinagh ta nyn laghyn, as noi baase dooinney cha vel saase erbee, chamoo ve rieau er ny chlashtyn, dy ren dooinney erbee chyndaa veih’n oaie.
|
1 For the ungodly said, reasoning with themselves, but not aright, Our life is short and tedious, and in the death of a man there is no remedy: neither was there any man known to have returned from the grave.
|
|
2 Son she marran haink shin er y theihll: as bee mayd ny yeï shoh myr nagh beagh rieau nyn lheid ayn: son cha vel yn ennal t’ayns nyn stroanyn myr jaagh, as myr drillin beg ta greesaghey ayns nyn gree:
|
2 For we are born at all adventure: and we shall be hereafter as though we had never been: for the breath in our nostrils is as smoke, and a little spark in the moving of our heart:
|
|
3 Cooid, tra te er ny vooghey, bee nyn gallin er ny hyndaa gys leoie, as nee nyn spyrryd lheïe ersooyl myr kiunid yn aer veeley.
|
3 Which being extinguished, our body shall be turned into ashes, and our spirit shall vanish as the soft air,
|
|
4 As bee eer nyn annym er ny yarrood lurg traa, as cha bee nyn obbraghyn ayns cooinaghtyn ec dooinney erbee, as nee nyn mioys shymley ersooyl myr scheïm dy vodjal, as bee eh er ny skeayley myr kay ta er ny imman roish gollyn ny greïney, as er ny lheïe lesh yn chiass echey.
|
4 And our name shall be forgotten in time, and no man shall have our works in remembrance, and our life shall pass away as the trace of a cloud, and shall be dispersed as a mist, that is driven away with the beams of the sun, and overcome with the heat thereof.
|
|
5 Son cha vel nyn mea agh eer scadoo ta lheïe ersooyl: as lurg nyn maase cha vel chyndaa: son te shickyr dooint, myr shen nagh vel dooinney erbee chyndaa reesht.
|
5 For our time is a very shadow that passeth away; and after our end there is no returning: for it is fast sealed, so that no man cometh again.
|
|
6 Tar-jee eisht, lhig dooin nyn soylley ’ghoaill jeh ny nheeghyn mie ta roïn: as lhig dooin dy jeean ymmyd y yannoo jeh ny bannaghtyn shoh myr ayns nyn aegid.
|
6 Come on therefore, let us enjoy the good things that are present: and let us speedily use the creatures like as in youth.
|
|
7 Lhig dooin shin hene y lhieeney lesh feeyn costal as ooilyn miljey, as ny lhig da blaa erbee souree shaghney shin.
|
7 Let us fill ourselves with costly wine and ointments: and let no flower of the spring pass by us:
|
|
8 Lhig dooin nyn ghing y choamrey lesh roseyn ayns slane blaa.
|
8 Let us crown ourselves with rosebuds, before they be withered:
|
|
9 Ny lhig da fer j’in goll fegooish ayrn jeh nyn rouanys: lhig dooin cowraghyn jeh nyn ghennallys y aagail ayns dy chooilley voayl: son shoh nyn doghyr, as nyn gronney shoh.
|
9 Let none of us go without his part of our voluptuousness: let us leave tokens of our joyfulness in every place: for this is our portion, and our lot is this.
|
|
10 Lhig dooin yn kercheen boght shen dy ghooinney cairal y hranlaasey, gyn sparail y ven-treoghe, ny cur arrym da kione lheeah yn chendeeaght.
|
10 Let us oppress the poor righteous man, let us not spare the widow, nor reverence the ancient gray hairs of the aged.
|
|
11 Lhig da laue-lajerys goaill niart er leigh as cairys: son cha vel fort ec ny annoonee dy hassoo roïn.
|
11 Let our strength be the law of justice: for that which is feeble is found to be nothing worth.
|
|
12 Shen-y-fa lhig dooin lhie cooyl-chlea son yn dooinney ynrick; son cha vel eh gys yn ymmyd ain: t’eh soiaghey eh hene noi nyn yannoo, t’eh goltooaney shin lesh brishey yn leigh, as gys nyn nearey coyrt ass nyn lieh shaghrynys nyn ghrogh-ynsaghey.
|
12 Therefore let us lie in wait for the righteous; because he is not for our turn, and he is clean contrary to our doings: he upbraideth us with our offending the law, and objecteth to our infamy the transgressings of our education.
|
|
13 T’eh goaill er dy vel echey tushtey dy Yee, as t’eh genmys eh hene lhiannoo yn Chiarn.
|
13 He professeth to have the knowledge of God: and he calleth himself the child of the Lord.
|
|
14 T’eh soiaghey seose eh hene dy choyrt oghsan da ny smooinaghtyn ain.
|
14 He was made to reprove our thoughts.
|
|
15 T’eh seaghnagh dooin eer dy yeeaghyn er: son cha vel y vea echeysyn casley rish bea gheiney elley, ny e raaidyn myr ny raaidyn ocsyn.
|
15 He is grievous unto us even to behold: for his life is not like other men's, his ways are of another fashion.
|
|
16 T’eh jeeaghyn orrin myr kialgeyryn, t’eh shaghney myr breinid nyn gliaghtaghyn: t’eh lhiasaghey dy vel jerrey yn sleih cairagh dy ve bannit, as boggyssagh dy vel Jee yn ayr echey.
|
16 We are esteemed of him as counterfeits: he abstaineth from our ways as from filthiness: he pronounceth the end of the just to be blessed, and maketh his boast that God is his father.
|
|
17 Lhig dooin fakin vel firrinys ayns e ghoan: as hee mayd cre haghyrys da ec y jerrey.
|
17 Let us see if his words be true: and let us prove what shall happen in the end of him.
|
|
18 Son my ta’n dooinney ynrick mac dy Yee, nee eh cooney lesh, as livrey eh veih laue e noidyn.
|
18 For if the just man be the son of God, he will help him, and deliver him from the hand of his enemies.
|
|
19 Lhig dooin eshyn y phrowal lesh goanlys as torchaghey, dy vod mayd fakin e veenid, as prowal e hurranse.
|
19 Let us examine him with despitefulness and torture, that we may know his meekness, and prove his patience.
|
|
20 Lhig dooin eh y cherraghey lesh baase scammyltagh: son my sheer da hene bee soiaghey jeant jeh.
|
20 Let us condemn him with a shameful death: for by his own saying he shall be respected.
|
|
21 She myr shoh smooinnee ad, agh v’ad mollit: son ta nyn mee-chraueeaght hene er gholley ad.
|
21 Such things they did imagine, and were deceived: for their own wickedness hath blinded them.
|
|
22 Agh son folliaghtyn Yee, cha row geill oc daue, chamoo v’ad jeeaghyn son faill yn ynrickys, chamoo va scansh oc jeh leagh son anmeenyn gyn-loght.
|
22 As for the mysteries of God, they knew them not: neither hoped they for the wages of righteousness, nor discerned a reward for blameless souls.
|
|
23 Son chroo Jee dooinney dy ve dy bragh beayn, as ren eh cummey eh ayns tuarystal e veaynid hene.
|
23 For God created man to be immortal, and made him to be an image of his own eternity.
|
|
24 Ny-yeih, trooid goanlys y jouyl haink baase stiagh sy theihll: myr t’adsyn gennaghtyn ta fo e reill.

24 Nevertheless through envy of the devil came death into the world: and they that do hold of his side do find it.

1 Agh ta anmeenyn y vooinjer chairal ayns laue Yee, as cha jean guinn y vaaish bentyn roo.
|
1 But the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and there shall no torment touch them.
|
|
2 Er-lesh ny mee-cheeayllee dy row ad geddyn baase: as dy row ad paartail gys seaghyn.
|
2 In the sight of the unwise they seemed to die: and their departure is taken for misery,
|
|
3 As nyn immeeaght dy ve slane toyrt-mow: agh t’adsyn ayns shee.
|
3 And their going from us to be utter destruction: but they are in peace.
|
|
4 Son ga dy vel ad seaghnit fenish deiney: foast t’ad ayns slane treishteil yn vaynrys veayn.
|
4 For though they be punished in the sight of men, yet is their hope full of immortality.
|
|
5 As lurg nyn seaghyn giare bee ad dy mooar er ny chooilleeney: son ta Jee er phrowal, as er gheddyn ad dy ve feeu jeh hene.
|
5 And having been a little chastised, they shall be greatly rewarded: for God proved them, and found them worthy for himself.
|
|
6 Myr airh ayns y choirrey t’eh er phrowal ad, as er ghoaill roo myr slane oural taitnyssagh.
|
6 As gold in the furnace hath he tried them, and received them as a burnt offering.
|
|
7 Agh ayns laa nyn mriwnys nee ad soilshean: as roie noon as noal myr smayllyn mastey’n stubbyl.
|
7 And in the time of their visitation they shall shine, and run to and fro like sparks among the stubble.
|
|
8 Nee ad briwnys ny ashoonyn, as bee oc ream harrish y pobble, as nee yn Chiarn oc reill er son dy bragh.
|
8 They shall judge the nations, and have dominion over the people, and their Lord shall reign for ever.
|
|
9 Nee e hreishteilee toiggal yn ynrickys: as nee adsyn ta firrinagh ayns graih tannaghtyn mârish: son ta grayse as myghin cour e nooghyn, as jeh e chloan reiht t’eh goaill ard-chiarail.
|
9 They that put their trust in him shall understand the truth: and such as be faithful in love shall abide with him: for grace and mercy is to his saints, and he hath care for his elect.
|
|
10 Agh bee ny mee-chrauee er nyn gerraghey ’syn ardalys oc hene, ta er hoiaghey beg jeh deiney mie, as er hreigeil y Chiarn.
|
10 But the ungodly shall be punished according to their own imaginations, which have neglected the righteous, and forsaken the Lord.
|
|
11 Son quoi-erbee ta soiaghey beg jeh creenaght as ynsaghey, t’eh ny vouran: as ta nyn dreishteil ayns fardail, nyn laboraght neu-vessoil, as nyn obbraghyn neu-vondeishagh.
|
11 For whoso despiseth wisdom and nurture, he is miserable, and their hope is vain, their labours unfruitful, and their works unprofitable:
|
|
12 Ta ny mraane oc mee-cheeayllagh, as nyn gloan er drogh-ynsagh.
|
12 Their wives are foolish, and their children wicked:
|
|
13 Ta’n sluight oc fo mollaght: shen-y-fa bannit ta’n ven ghennish, nagh vel er n’yannoo peccah, nagh vel er n’eiyrt er maarderys: bee sluight eck ayns briwnys ny anmeenyn.
|
13 Their offspring is cursed. Wherefore blessed is the barren that is undefiled, which hath not known the sinful bed: she shall have fruit in the visitation of souls.
|
|
14 As bannit ta’n dooinney gennish nagh vel lesh y laueyn er n’eiyrt da mee-chairys, ny ayns drogh smooinaghtyn noi Jee: son dasyn vees er ny choyrt yn ard-yioot dy chredjue, as cronney ayns chiamble y Chiarn, ny s’ennoil ayns e aigney.
|
14 And blessed is the eunuch, which with his hands hath wrought no iniquity, nor imagined wicked things against God: for unto him shall be given the special gift of faith, and an inheritance in the temple of the Lord more acceptable to his mind.
|
|
15 Son s’gloyroil ta’n mess dy obbraghyn mie! as cha jean y fraue dy chreenaght dy bragh failleil.
|
15 For glorious is the fruit of good labours: and the root of wisdom shall never fall away.
|
|
16 Er son cloan ny maarderee cha bee oc dy yannoo ayns oikan casherick: as bee sluight yn lhiabbee foalsey er ny astyrt ass ny fraueyn.
|
16 As for the children of adulterers, they shall not come to their perfection, and the seed of an unrighteous bed shall be rooted out.
|
|
17 Son ga dy vel nyn mea beayn, cha bee veg y scansh soit jeu, as bee ad eer gys nyn shenn eash fegooish ooashley.
|
17 For though they live long, yet shall they be nothing regarded: and their last age shall be without honour.
|
|
18 As my vees ad giare-heihltagh, t’ad gyn treishteil, as fegooish gerjagh ayns laa ny briwnys.
|
18 Or, if they die quickly, they have no hope, neither comfort in the day of trial.
|
|
19 Son s’atchimagh ta jerrey yn cheeloghe vee-chrauee!

19 For horrible is the end of the unrighteous generation.

1 Te ny share dy ve gyn sluight, as grayse ’ve ain: son bee yn imraa jeh shen gys eashyn braa: er-y-fa dy vel eh er ny lowal liorish Jee as dooinney.

1 Better it is to have no children, and to have virtue: for the memorial thereof is immortal: because it is known with God, and with men.

2 Tra te kionfenish ta deiney goaill sampleyr veih: as tra te er n’immeeaght t’ad dy yeearree eh, te ceau attey, as cosney yn varriaght, as laue yn eaghtyr son dy bragh, lurg streeu son leaghyn nagh jed naardey.

2 When it is present, men take example at it; and when it is gone, they desire it: it weareth a crown, and triumpheth for ever, having gotten the victory, striving for undefiled rewards.

3 Agh cha jean sluight raahoil ny mee-chrauee cheet er-ash, ny fraue dowin y ghoaill veih settyn oainjyragh, ny troggal er undin shickyr.

4 For though they flourish in branches for a time; yet standing not last, they shall be shaken with the wind, and through the force of winds they shall be rooted out.
|
|
5 Bee ny banglaneyn faase er nyn mrishey jeh, nyn mess neu-ghooghyssagh, gyn appee son beaghey, neu-chooie son ymmyd erbee.

5 The imperfect branches shall be broken off, their fruit unprofitable, not ripe to eat, yea, meet for nothing.
|
|
6 Son bee cloan oainjeragh nyn veanishyn noi drogh-yannoo nyn ayraghyn as nyn moiraghyn ayns laa ny briwnys.

6 For children begotten of unlawful beds are witnesses of wickedness against their parents in their trial.

7 But though the righteous be prevented with death, yet shall he be in rest.
|
|
8 Son cha vel eash ooasle er ny howse liorish traa liauyr, ny er ny choontey veih mooarane bleeantyn.
|
8 For honourable age is not that which standeth in length of time, nor that is measured by number of years.
|
|
9 Agh ta creenaght ny chione lheeah da deiney, as bea gyn loght myr shenn eash.
|
9 But wisdom is the gray hair unto men, and an unspotted life is old age.
|
|
10 Ren eh Jee y wooiys, as ghow Jee taitnys ayn: myr shen veih beaghey mastey peccee ghow Jee eh huggey hene.
|
10 He pleased God, and was beloved of him: so that living among sinners he was translated.
|
|
11 Dy jarroo v’eh er ny ghoaill ersooyl dy leah, er-aggle dy jinnagh mee-chraueeaght e hoiggal y chaghlaa, ny molteyrys e annym y violaghey.
|
11 Yea speedily was he taken away, lest that wickedness should alter his understanding, or deceit beguile his soul.
|
|
12 Son ta cleayn peccah cur naardey reddyn ta mie ayndoo hene: as ta shaghrynys yeearree neu-chooie cleiy fo yn annym ôney.
|
12 For the bewitching of naughtiness doth obscure things that are honest; and the wandering of concupiscence doth undermine the simple mind.
|
|
13 Jean ynrick ayns earish yiare chooilleen eh bea liauyr.
|
13 He, being made perfect in a short time, fulfilled a long time:
|
|
14 Son ren e annym yn Chiarn y wooiys, shen-y-fa ren eh siyr dy ghoaill eh veih mastey ny mee-chrauee.
|
14 For his soul pleased the Lord: therefore hasted he to take him away from among the wicked.
|
|
15 Honnick y pobble shoh, agh cha row toiggal oc jeh, chamoo smooinee ad ayns nyn aignaghyn, Dy vel grayse as myghin Yee cour e nooghyn, as dy vel eh jannoo slane soiaghey jeh e chloan reiht.
|
15 This the people saw, and understood it not, neither laid they up this in their minds, That his grace and mercy is with his saints, and that he hath respect unto his chosen.
|
|
16 Myr shoh nee yn marroo ynrick deyrey ny mee-chrauee ta foast bio: as nee yn aegid, t’er leeideil bea ghlen, deyrey bleeantyn liauyr as shenn eash ny drogh-yantee.
|
16 Thus the righteous that is dead shall condemn the ungodly which are living; and youth that is soon perfected the many years and old age of the unrighteous.
|
|
17 Son ga t’ad fakin jerrey yn dooinney creeney; cha vel ad toiggal cre ta Jee ayns e choyrle hene er chiarail er e hon, as cre’n-oyr ta’n Chiarn er hoiaghey eh ayns sauchys.
|
17 For they shall see the end of the wise, and shall not understand what God in his counsel hath decreed of him, and to what end the Lord hath set him in safety.
|
|
18 Ver ad my-ner eh, as soiee ad beg jeh: agh bee adsyn ayns faghid ec Jee; as bee ad ny lurg shoh nyn gallinyn eajee, as son oltooan mastey ny merriu er son dy bragh.

18 They shall see him, and despise him; but God shall laugh them to scorn: and they shall hereafter be a vile carcase, and a reproach among the dead for evermore.
|
|
19 Son nee Jee ad y raipey ayns peeshyn; tuittee ad sheese gour nyn mullee, as bee ad nyn-dhost: as nee eh craa ad veih’n undin: as hed dy slane bollagh naardey ayns trimshey: as nee’n imraa jeu cherraghtyn.

19 For he shall rend them, and cast them down headlong, that they shall be speechless; and he shall shake them from the foundation; and they shall be utterly laid waste, and be in sorrow; and their memorial shall perish.

20 As tra t’ad cur stiagh coontey nyn beccaghyn, nee ad shen lesh atchim; as nee eer nyn beccaghyn hene gymmyrkey feanish nyn ’oï.

8 What hath pride profited us? or what good hath riches with our vaunting brought us?
|
|
9 Ta ooilley ny reddyn shen er n’gholl shaghey myr scadoo, as my chaghter siyragh er y raad.
|
9 All those things are passed away like a shadow, and as a post that hasted by;
|
|
10 As myr lhong ta shiaulley harrish tonnyn ny marrey, tra t’ee er n’gholl shaghey, cha vod y scheïm eck v’er ny chronnaghey, ny cassan y cheuyl eck ayns ny tonnyn;
|
10 And as a ship that passeth over the waves of the water, which when it is gone by, the trace thereof cannot be found, neither the pathway of the keel in the waves;
|
|
11 Ny goll-rish eean ta getlagh trooid yn aer, cha vel cowrey erbee jeh’n raad eck dy ve ry-akin, agh ta’n aer veeley er ny woalley lesh bennalt e skianyn, as er ny scarrey lesh y sheean mooar as yn obbragh oc, myr shen dy vel ee goll trooid, as lurg cha vel cowrey erbee ry-akin cre’n raad ren ee goaill.
|
11 Or as when a bird hath flown through the air, there is no token of her way to be found, but the light air being beaten with the stroke of her wings and parted with the violent noise and motion of them, is passed through, and therein afterwards no sign where she went is to be found;
|
|
12 Ny myr side tra t’ee lhiggit er mark, t’ee scarrey yn aer, ta chelleeragh cheet dy cheilley reesht, myr shen nagh vod dooinney ginsh cre’n raad hie ee ny hrooid:
|
12 Or like as when an arrow is shot at a mark, it parteth the air, which immediately cometh together again, so that a man cannot know where it went through:
|
|
13 Eer myr shen shinyn, cha leah’s ruggyr shin, ghow shin toshiaght dy hayrn gys nyn yerrey, gyn cowrey erbee dy vieys; agh goll naardey ayns nyn mee-chraueeaght hene.
|
13 Even so we in like manner, as soon as we were born, began to draw to our end, and had no sign of virtue to shew; but were consumed in our own wickedness.
|
|
14 Son ta treishteil ny mee-chrauee goll-rish joan sheebit ersooyl lesh y gheay; myr kesh thanney eebrit ersooyl lesh y doirryn; myr yn jaagh t’er ny imman noon as noal lesh sterrym, as goll shaghey myr cooinaghtyn jeh troailtagh goaill aaght-laa.
|
14 For the hope of the ungodly is like dust that is blown away with the wind; like a thin froth that is driven away with the storm; like as the smoke which is dispersed here and there with a tempest, and passeth away as the remembrance of a guest that tarrieth but a day.
|
|
15 Agh ta’n vooinjer ynrick son dy bragh beayn, ta’n leagh oc myrgeddin marish y Chiarn, as ta’n chiarail oc marish yn er smoo syrjey.
|
15 But the righteous live for evermore; their reward also is with the Lord, and the care of them is with the most High.
|

16 Shen-y-fa yiow ad reeriaght gloyroil, as attey aalin veih laue yn Chiarn: son lesh e laue yesh nee eh ad y choodaghey, as lesh e roih nee eh ad y choadey.
|
16 Therefore shall they receive a glorious kingdom, and a beautiful crown from the Lord's hand: for with his right hand shall he cover them, and with his arm shall he protect them.
|
|
17 Gowee eh da hene e eadolys son slane eilley-caggee, as yn cretoor son wappin dy cherraghey dewil er e noidyn.
|
17 He shall take to him his jealousy for complete armour, and make the creature his weapon for the revenge of his enemies.
|
|
18 Ver eh mysh ynrickys myr eilley-vroghil, as briwnys cairagh son helmet.
|
18 He shall put on righteousness as a breastplate, and true judgment instead of an helmet.
|
|
19 Gowee eh casherickys son scape lajer.
|
19 He shall take holiness for an invincible shield.
|
|
20 E yymmoose yeyre nee eh shlieu son cliwe, as nee yn seihll caggey marish noi ny mee-hushtee.
|
20 His severe wrath shall he sharpen for a sword, and the world shall fight with him against the unwise.
|
|
21 Eisht hed ny claghyn-taarnee magh er feaï-ny-cruinney lesh aim cairagh, as veih ny bodjallyn, myr veih bow slane tayrnit, nee ad [1] lesh y vark.
|
21 Then shall the right aiming thunderbolts go abroad; and from the clouds, as from a well drawn bow, shall they fly to the mark.
|
|
22 As ver eh magh claghyn-sniaghtee myr veih bow-cloaie, as nee ushtaghyn ny marrey freaney nyn ’oï, as nee ny thooillaghyn dy dewil ad y vaih.
|
22 And hailstones full of wrath shall be cast as out of a stone bow, and the water of the sea shall rage against them, and the floods shall cruelly drown them.
|
|
23 Dy jarroo nee geay lajer troggal seose nyn ’oï, as goll-rish doirryn ad y heebey ersooyl: myr shoh ver neu-ynrickys mow yn slane seihll, as ver drogh-ghellal naardey stuill-reeoil ny treanee.

23 Yea, a mighty wind shall stand up against them, and like a storm shall blow them away: thus iniquity shall lay waste the whole earth, and ill dealing shall overthrow the thrones of the mighty.

7 For he which is Lord over all shall fear no man's person, neither shall he stand in awe of any man's greatness: for he hath made the small and great, and careth for all alike.

8 Agh bee briaght geyre jeant er ny tranlaasee.

10 For they that keep holiness holily shall be judged holy: and they that have learned such things shall find what to answer.
|

11 Shen-y-fa, soie-jee nyn aigney er my ghoan: yeearree-jee ad, as yiow shiu ynsaghey.

11 Wherefore set your affection upon my words; desire them, and ye shall be instructed.

12 Wisdom is glorious, and never fadeth away: yea, she is easily seen of them that love her, and found of such as seek her.
|
|
13 T’ee ro laue roosyn ta dy yeearree ee, soilshaghey ee hene hoshiaght dauesyn.

15 To think therefore upon her is perfection of wisdom: and whoso watcheth for her shall quickly be without care.

16 For she goeth about seeking such as are worthy of her, sheweth herself favourably unto them in the ways, and meeteth them in every thought.
|
|
17 Son t’ee eer goaill toshiaght ayns y yeearree dy ynsagh: as ayns y chiarail dy gheddyn ynsagh ta graih;

17 For the very true beginning of her is the desire of discipline; and the care of discipline is love;
|
|
18 As ayns graih, ta freayll e annaghyn: as ayns freayll e annaghyn, ta shickyrys dy veaynid braa;
|
18 And love is the keeping of her laws; and the giving heed unto her laws is the assurance of incorruption;

|
19 And incorruption maketh us near unto God:

20 Therefore the desire of wisdom bringeth to a kingdom.

22 As for wisdom, what she is, and how she came up, I will tell you, and will not hide mysteries from you: but will seek her out from the beginning of her nativity, and bring the knowledge of her into light, and will not pass over the truth.

1 Ta mish mee hene myrgeddin my ghooinney marvaanagh, myr ta ooilley sheelnaue, as jeh’n sluight echeysyn, va hoshiaght er ny chroo veih’n ooir.

1 I myself also am a mortal man, like to all, and the offspring of him that was first made of the earth,
|

2 As ayns breïn my vayrey va mee er my chummey ry jeih meeaghyn, jeant jeh fuill as bree dooinney, ’syn eunys ta cheet lesh cadley.

2 And in my mother's womb was fashioned to be flesh in the time of ten months, being compacted in blood, of the seed of man, and the pleasure that came with sleep.

3 As cha leah’s ruggyr mee, hayrn mee yn ennal cadjin, as huitt mee er yn ooir co-dooghyssagh, as va my chied choraa, keayney, myr ta dagh unnane elley.

3 And when I was born, I drew in the common air, and fell upon the earth, which is of like nature, and the first voice which I uttered was crying, as all others do.
|

4 Va mee er my voandyrys ayns aanrityn soïllee, as shen dy keaïn.

4 I was nursed in swaddling clothes, and that with cares.

7 Wherefore I prayed, and understanding was given me: I called upon God, and the spirit of wisdom came to me.
|
|
8 Ren mee soiaghey jeeish roish pooar as ooashley reeoil, as son berchys cha ren mee scansh erbee jeh ayns co-soylaghey jeeish.

9 Neither compared I unto her any precious stone, because all gold in respect of her is as a little sand, and silver shall be counted as clay before her.
|

10 Va mee ny s’graihagh urree na er slaynt as aalid, as ghow me ee son soilshey dou: son cha bee yn soilshey ecksh dy bragh er ny vooghey.

10 I loved her above health and beauty, and chose to have her instead of light: for the light that cometh from her never goeth out.
|
|
11 Haink dy chooilley nhee mie hym’s mâree, as berchys erskyn earroo ayns e laue.

11 All good things together came to me with her, and innumerable riches in her hands.

12 And I rejoiced in them all, because wisdom goeth before them: and I knew not that she was the mother of them.

13 Ren mee ish y ynsaghey dy imneagh, as ta mee dy ockley magh ee dy arryltagh: cha vel mee keiltyn yn verchys eck.

22 For wisdom, which is the worker of all things, taught me: for in her is an understanding spirit holy, one only, manifold, subtil, lively, clear, undefiled, plain, not subject to hurt, loving the thing that is good quick, which cannot be letted, ready to do good,

16 After I am come into mine house, I will repose myself with her: for her conversation hath no bitterness; and to live with her hath no sorrow, but mirth and joy.

18 And great pleasure it is to have her friendship; and in the works of her hands are infinite riches; and in the exercise of conference with her, prudence; and in talking with her, a good report; I went about seeking how to take her to me.
|
|
19 Son va mee my lhiannoo keeayllagh, as jeh spyrryd mie.

8 Thou hast commanded me to build a temple upon thy holy mount, and an altar in the city wherein thou dwellest, a resemblance of the holy tabernacle, which thou hast prepared from the beginning.

16 And hardly do we guess aright at things that are upon earth, and with labour do we find the things that are before us: but the things that are in heaven who hath searched out?

2 And gave him power to rule all things.

3 But when the unrighteous went away from her in his anger, he perished also in the fury wherewith he murdered his brother.

4 For whose cause the earth being drowned with the flood, wisdom again preserved it, and directed the course of the righteous in a piece of wood of small value.

|
5 Moreover, the nations in their wicked conspiracy being confounded, she found out the righteous, and preserved him blameless unto God, and kept him strong against his tender compassion toward his son.
|
|
6 Tra ren ny mee-chrauee cherraghtyn, livrey ee yn [7] dooinney cairagh, chossyn ersooyl veih’n aile, huitt sheese er ny queig ard-valjyn.

6 When the ungodly perished, she delivered the righteous man, who fled from the fire which fell down upon the five cities.

7 Of whose wickedness even to this day the waste land that smoketh is a testimony, and plants bearing fruit that never come to ripeness: and a standing pillar of salt is a monument of an unbelieving soul.

|
8 For regarding not wisdom, they gat not only this hurt, that they knew not the things which were good; but also left behind them to the world a memorial of their foolishness: so that in the things wherein they offended they could not so much as be hid.
|
|
9 Agh ren creenaght livrey veih toyrt-mow adsyn va ’syn ammys eck.

9 But wisdom delivered from pain those that attended upon her.

|
10 When the righteous fled from his brother's wrath she guided him in right paths, shewed him the kingdom of God, and gave him knowledge of holy things, made him rich in his travels, and multiplied the fruit of his labours.
|
|
11 Noi saynt e hranlaasee, hass ee liorish, as ren ee magh eh lesh berchys.

11 In the covetousness of such as oppressed him she stood by him, and made him rich.

12 She defended him from his enemies, and kept him safe from those that lay in wait, and in a sore conflict she gave him the victory; that he might know that goodness is stronger than all.
|
|
13 Tra va’n [11] dooinney crauee er ny chreck, cha hreig ee eh, agh livrey ee eh veih peccah; v’ee ny sheshey da ’sy phryssoon.

13 When the righteous was sold, she forsook him not, but delivered him from sin: she went down with him into the pit,
|

14 As cha daag ee eh ayns geulaghyn, derrey hug ee da lorg-reill yn reeriaght, as pooar harrish e hranlaasee: as son ny feanishyn foalsey, ren ee soilshaghey ad dy ve nyn mreagyryn, agh choamyr ee eshyn lesh ooashley beayn.
|
14 And left him not in bonds, till she brought him the sceptre of the kingdom, and power against those that oppressed him: as for them that had accused him, she shewed them to be liars, and gave him perpetual glory.
|
|
15 Livrey ee yn pobble ynrick, as yn sluight ooasle veih’n ashoon tranlaasagh.
|
15 She delivered the righteous people and blameless seed from the nation that oppressed them.
|

16 Ghow ee aaght ayns annym [12] sharvaant y Chiarn, as noi reeaghyn atchimagh hass ee magh ayns cowraghyn yindyssyn,

17 Rendered to the righteous a reward of their labours, guided them in a marvellous way, and was unto them for a cover by day, and a light of stars in the night season;
|
|
18 Hug ee lh’ee ad trooid yn aarkey jiarg, as dy sauchey trooid ushtaghyn dowiney.

18 Brought them through the Red sea, and led them through much water:

13 For neither is there any God but thou that careth for all, to whom thou mightest shew that thy judgment is not unright.
|

14 Chamoo oddys ree ny tranlaasagh erbee cur eddin dhyt er coontey unnane erbee t’ou er cherraghey.

15 Forsomuch then as thou art righteous thyself, thou orderest all things righteously: thinking it not agreeable with thy power to condemn him that hath not deserved to be punished.
|
|
16 Son ta dty phooar goaill toshiaght ayns cairys, as myr t’ou dty Hiarn harrish ooilley, te coyrt ort ve graysoil da ooilley.

16 For thy power is the beginning of righteousness, and because thou art the Lord of all, it maketh thee to be gracious unto all.

17 For when men will not believe that thou art of a full power, thou shewest thy strength, and among them that know it thou makest their boldness manifest.

18 But thou, mastering thy power, judgest with equity, and orderest us with great favour: for thou mayest use power when thou wilt.

19 But by such works hast thou taught thy people that the just man should be merciful, and hast made thy children to be of a good hope that thou givest repentance for sins.
|

20 Son my ghow wheesh dy hraa ayns kerraghey noidyn dty phobble hene, as adsyn va toilliu baase, chebbal daue caa as ynnyd dy v’er ny livrey veih nyn olkys;
|
20 For if thou didst punish the enemies of thy children, and the condemned to death, with such deliberation, giving them time and place, whereby they might be delivered from their malice:
|
|
21 Cre cha meeley v’ou ayns briwnys dty chloan hene, da ny ayraghyn oc v’ou er loo, as er n’yannoo conaant dy yialdynyn mie.

21 With how great circumspection didst thou judge thine own sons, unto whose fathers thou hast sworn, and made covenants of good promises?

|
22 Therefore, whereas thou dost chasten us, thou scourgest our enemies a thousand times more, to the intent that, when we judge, we should carefully think of thy goodness, and when we ourselves are judged, we should look for mercy.
|
|
23 Er shoh, tra va deiney er cheau nyn draa ayns rouanys as mee-chairys, ren oo ad y smaghtaghey lesh ny peccaghyn feodagh oc hene.

23 Wherefore, whereas men have lived dissolutely and unrighteously, thou hast tormented them with their own abominations.
|

|
24 For they went astray very far in the ways of error, and held them for gods, which even among the beasts of their enemies were despised, being deceived, as children of no understanding.
|
|
25 Shen-y-fa, orroosyn myr er cloan vee-cheeayllagh hug oo magh briwnys ayns faghid.
|
25 Therefore unto them, as to children without the use of reason, thou didst send a judgment to mock them.
|

26 Agh adsyn nagh beagh tayrnit gys mieys lesh lheid y smaghtaghey meein shoh, ennee ad briwnys cooie veih Jee hene.

26 But they that would not be reformed by that correction, wherein he dallied with them, shall feel a judgment worthy of God.

|
27 For, look, for what things they grudged, when they were punished, that is, for them whom they thought to be gods; now being punished in them, when they saw it, they acknowledged him to be the true God, whom before they denied to know: and therefore came extreme damnation upon them.

1 Surely vain are all men by nature, who are ignorant of God, and could not out of the good things that are seen know him that is: neither by considering the works did they acknowledge the workmaster;

10 But miserable are they, and in dead things is their hope, who call them gods, which are the works of men's hands, gold and silver, to shew art in, and resemblances of beasts, or a stone good for nothing, the work of an ancient hand.
|

11 Now a carpenter that felleth timber, after he hath sawn down a tree meet for the purpose, and taken off all the bark skilfully round about, and hath wrought it handsomely, and made a vessel thereof fit for the service of man's life;
|
|
12 As lurg da v’er lostey ny spollagyn ayns gaarlaghey e vee, as dy vel eh jeant magh;

12 And after spending the refuse of his work to dress his meat, hath filled himself;

|
13 And taking the very refuse among those which served to no use, being a crooked piece of wood, and full of knots, hath carved it diligently, when he had nothing else to do, and formed it by the skill of his understanding, and fashioned it to the image of a man;
|

15 And when he had made a convenient room for it, set it in a wall, and made it fast with iron:

1 Again, one preparing himself to sail, and about to pass through the raging waves, calleth upon a piece of wood more rotten than the vessel that carrieth him.

5 Nevertheless thou wouldest not that the works of thy wisdom should be idle, and therefore do men commit their lives to a small piece of wood, and passing the rough sea in a weak vessel are saved.

6 For in the old time also, when the proud giants perished, the hope of the world governed by thy hand escaped in a weak vessel, and left to all ages a seed of generation.

8 But that which is made with hands is cursed, as well it, as he that made it: he, because he made it; and it, because, being corruptible, it was called god.
|
|
9 Son ta chammah yn dooinney mee-chrauee, as e vee-chraueeaght dwoaiagh da Jee.

9 For the ungodly and his ungodliness are both alike hateful unto God.

10 Son bee chammah yn jalloo grainnit as e ghrainneyder er nyn gerraghey dy cheilley.

|
11 Therefore even upon the idols of the Gentiles shall there be a visitation: because in the creature of God they are become an abomination, and stumblingblocks to the souls of men, and a snare to the feet of the unwise.
|
|
12 Son jalloonys va toshiaght maarderys spyrrydoil, as moir bea pheccoil.
|
12 For the devising of idols was the beginning of spiritual fornication, and the invention of them the corruption of life.
|

13 For neither were they from the beginning, neither shall they be for ever.

|
15 For a father afflicted with untimely mourning, when he hath made an image of his child soon taken away, now honoured him as a god, which was then a dead man, and delivered to those that were under him ceremonies and sacrifices.
|
|
16 Myr shoh lurg traa ghow cliaghtey peccoil lheid y raad dy row eh freilt myr leigh, as va jallooyn grainnit er nyn ooashlaghey liorish sarey reeaghyn.

16 Thus in process of time an ungodly custom grown strong was kept as a law, and graven images were worshipped by the commandments of kings.

|
17 Whom men could not honour in presence, because they dwelt far off, they took the counterfeit of his visage from far, and made an express image of a king whom they honoured, to the end that by this their forwardness they might flatter him that was absent, as if he were present.
|
|
18 Myr shoh ren schleï vooar cummeyder ny jallooyn dy mooar niartaghey ny mee-hushtee ayns faase-chredjueys.

19 Son aggindagh dy wooiys fer ayns pooar, hug eh ooilley e cheeayll gys obbyr, dy chiaddey yn jalloo er y chummey s’aalin.

20 And so the multitude, allured by the grace of the work, took him now for a god, which a little before was but honoured as a man.

21 As shoh va oyr shaghrynys y theihll: son deiney surranse fo arkys ny tranlaase erbee, hug ad da claghyn as fuygh yn ennym shen nagh row cooie daue.

21 And this was an occasion to deceive the world: for men, serving either calamity or tyranny, did ascribe unto stones and stocks the incommunicable name.

22 Moreover this was not enough for them, that they erred in the knowledge of God; but whereas they lived in the great war of ignorance, those so great plagues called they peace.

26 Disquieting of good men, forgetfulness of good turns, defiling of souls, changing of kind, disorder in marriages, adultery, and shameless uncleanness.
|
|
27 Son ta geiyrt er jallooyn, nagh lhisagh ve enmyssit, toshiaght, oyr, as jerrey dagh olk.

27 For the worshipping of idols not to be named is the beginning, the cause, and the end, of all evil.

29 For insomuch as their trust is in idols, which have no life; though they swear falsely, yet they look not to be hurt.

30 Howbeit for both causes shall they be justly punished: both because they thought not well of God, giving heed unto idols, and also unjustly swore in deceit, despising holiness.

7 For the potter, tempering soft earth, fashioneth every vessel with much labour for our service: yea, of the same clay he maketh both the vessels that serve for clean uses, and likewise also all such as serve to the contrary: but what is the use of either sort, the potter himself is the judge.

8 And employing his labours lewdly, he maketh a vain god of the same clay, even he which a little before was made of earth himself, and within a little while after returneth to the same, out of the which he was taken: when his life which was lent him shall be demanded.

9 Notwithstanding his care is, not that he shall have much labour, nor that his life is short: but striveth to excel goldsmiths and silversmiths, and endeavoureth to do like the workers in brass, and counteth it his glory to make counterfeit things.

|
11 Son wheesh as nagh dug eh geill da e er-croo, as dasyn ren eh y choamrey lesh annym gastey, as spyrryd breeoil ennal y vea.
|
11 Forasmuch as he knew not his Maker, and him that inspired into him an active soul, and breathed in a living spirit.
|

12 Son cha choont ad agh gamman jeh’n vea shoh, as nyn draa ’sy theihll shoh dy ve agh margey son cosney: son, jir adsyn, shegin dooin ve cosney er dy chooilley aght, ga liorish drogh-haaseyn.
|
12 But they counted our life a pastime, and our time here a market for gain: for, say they, we must be getting every way, though it be by evil means.
|
|
13 Son y dooinney shoh ta jeh stoo thallooinagh jannoo siyn brishlagh, as jallooyn grainnit, ta fys echey hene dy vel eh ny s’foiljagh na peccee elley.

13 For this man, that of earthly matter maketh brittle vessels and graven images, knoweth himself to offend above all others.
|
|
14 As ny s’ommijee erskyn ooilley, as ny s’treih na eer oikanyn, ta noidyn dty phobble, ta jannoo tranlaase orroo.
|
14 And all the enemies of thy people, that hold them in subjection, are most foolish, and are more miserable than very babes.
|

|
15 For they counted all the idols of the heathen to be gods: which neither have the use of eyes to see, nor noses to draw breath, nor ears to hear, nor fingers of hands to handle; and as for their feet, they are slow to go.
|
|
16 Son cha row eh agh dooinney ren ad, as eshyn deeassee yn spyrryd echey hene ren ad y chummey: agh cha vod dooinney erbee jannoo jee cha mie rish hene.

16 For man made them, and he that borrowed his own spirit fashioned them: but no man can make a god like unto himself.
|
|
17 Son ta dooinney marvaanagh gobbraghey stoo marroo lesh laueyn mee-chrauee: son t’eshyn eh hene ny share na ny reddyn t’eh dy ooashlaghey: son wheesh as dy row eshyn keayrt bio, agh cha row adsyn rieau.
|
17 For being mortal, he worketh a dead thing with wicked hands: for he himself is better than the things which he worshippeth: whereas he lived once, but they never.
|
|
18 Dy feer hug ad ooashley da ny cretooryn s’eajee: son cosoylit ry-cheilley ta paart ny smeilley na paart elley.
|
18 Yea, they worshipped those beasts also that are most hateful: for being compared together, some are worse than others.
|
|
9 Chamoo t’ad cha aalin shen mastey cretooryn elley, as dy ve cha aggindagh shen orroo: agh jimmee ad fegooish moylley Yee as e vannaght.
|
19 Neither are they beautiful, so much as to be desired in respect of beasts: but they went without the praise of God and his blessing.

1 Shen-y-fa liorish y lheid cheddin v’ad er nyn gerraghey dy cairal, as liorish ymmodee beishtyn dewilley er nyn smaghtaghey.

1 Therefore by the like were they punished worthily, and by the multitude of beasts tormented.
|
|
2 Ayns ynnyd yn cherraghey cheddin, liorish dty ghellal ghraysoil rish dty phobble hene, chiare oo daue bee jeh blass joarree, eer quaylyn dy ghoostey jollys:

2 Instead of which punishment, dealing graciously with thine own people, thou preparedst for them meat of a strange taste, even quails to stir up their appetite:
|
|
3 Dy choyrt [15] orroosyn ayns mean nyn accyrys jiooldey rish nyn meaghey ymmyrchagh, ec shilley ny beishtyn dwoaiagh va currit ny-vud oc; agh lurg accyrys giare dy choyrt bee-naight da’n vooinjer [16] elley:
|
3 To the end that they, desiring food, might for the ugly sight of the beasts sent among them lothe even that, which they must needs desire; but these, suffering penury for a short space, might be made partakers of a strange taste.
|
|
4 Son ve cooie yn êgin dy heet er ny tranlaasee,[17] dy hoilshaghey daue shoh kys va nyn noidyn er nyn dorchaghey.
|
4 For it was requisite, that upon them exercising tyranny should come penury, which they could not avoid: but to these it should only be shewed how their enemies were tormented.
|
|
5 Son tra haink dewilys atchimagh ny beishtyn orroo shoh, as ren ad cherraghtyn liorish gahghyn ard-nieughyn cam-chassagh, cha ren dty yymmoose tannaghtyn foddey.
|
5 For when the horrible fierceness of beasts came upon these, and they perished with the stings of crooked serpents, thy wrath endured not for ever:
|
|
6 Agh v’ad seaghnit son earish yiare, dy chur ad ayns kiarail liorish yn cowrey dy haualtys, dy hayrn ad gys cooinaghtyn jeh annaghyn dty leigh.
|
6 But they were troubled for a small season, that they might be admonished, having a sign of salvation, to put them in remembrance of the commandment of thy law.
|
|
7 Son eshyn yeeagh [18] huggey, cha row eh er ny hauail liorish yn red shen honnick eh, agh liort’s ta saualtagh ooilley sheelnaue.
|
7 For he that turned himself toward it was not saved by the thing that he saw, but by thee, that art the Saviour of all.
|
|
8 As ayns shoh hug oo er dty noidyn dy ghoaill-rish, Dy nee uss ta livrey veih dy chooilley olk.
|
8 And in this thou madest thine enemies confess, that it is thou who deliverest from all evil:
|

9 Son ren guinn beishteigyn nieunagh as creoghanyn ad shen y stroie, chamoo va saase erbee er ny gheddyn cour nyn mioys: son v’ad toilchin dy ve kerrit ry lheid.

9 For them the bitings of grasshoppers and flies killed, neither was there found any remedy for their life: for they were worthy to be punished by such.
|
|
10 Agh er dty vec hene, cha dooar eer feeacklyn ny dragonyn pyshoonagh yn varriaght; son va dty vyghin dy kinjagh harrystoo, as ren eh ad y lheihys.

10 But thy sons not the very teeth of venomous dragons overcame: for thy mercy was ever by them, and healed them.
|

11 Son v’ad guint dy chur orroo cooinaghtyn er dty ghoan’s; as v’ad dy leah er nyn lheihys; dy reayll ad veih tuittym ayns jarroodys dowin, agh dy ve dy kinjagh cooinaghtagh jeh dty vieys.
|
11 For they were pricked, that they should remember thy words; and were quickly saved, that not falling into deep forgetfulness, they might be continually mindful of thy goodness.
|
|
12 Son cha nee lesh lossreeyn, ny shelliu meeley hooar ad couyr: agh liorish dty ghoo’s, O Hiarn, ta lheihys dy chooilley nhee.
|
12 For it was neither herb, nor mollifying plaister, that restored them to health: but thy word, O Lord, which healeth all things.
|
|
13 Son ayd’s ta pooar bea as baase: t’ou coyrt sheese gys beeal yn oaie, as troggal seose reesht.
|
13 For thou hast power of life and death: thou leadest to the gates of hell, and bringest up again.
|
|
14 Ta dooinney dy jarroo marroo dooinney ayns goanlys: as tra ta’n ennal er n’gholl ass, cha jig eh reesht; chamoo ta’n annym cheet arragh, keayrt dy vel eh goit seose.
|
14 A man indeed killeth through his malice: and the spirit, when it is gone forth, returneth not; neither the soul received up cometh again.
|
|
15 Agh cha vel eh ayns pooar dooinney dy haghney dty laue.

15 But it is not possible to escape thine hand.

|
16 For the ungodly, that denied to know thee, were scourged by the strength of thine arm: with strange rains, hails, and showers, were they persecuted, that they could not avoid, and through fire were they consumed.
|
|
17 Agh yn yindys smoo ooilley, dy row bree yn aile ny stroshey ’syn ushtey, ta mooghey dy chooilley nhee: son ta’n seihll caggey ass lieh yn vooinjer chairal.

17 For, which is most to be wondered at, the fire had more force in the water, that quencheth all things: for the world fighteth for the righteous.
|
|
18 Son paart dy cheayrtyn va bree yn aile er ny chastey, nagh voddagh eh ny beishtyn dewilley y lostey seose va currit noi ny mee-chrauee: agh dy voddagh ad hene fakin as toiggal dy row ad fo eiyrtys briwnyssyn Yee.
|
18 For sometime the flame was mitigated, that it might not burn up the beasts that were sent against the ungodly; but themselves might see and perceive that they were persecuted with the judgment of God.
|
|
19 As keayrt elley ve lostey eer ayns mean yn ushtey, erskyn dooghys yn aile, dy stroie messyn cheer mee-chrauee.
|
19 And at another time it burneth even in the midst of water above the power of fire, that it might destroy the fruits of an unjust land.
|
|
20 Ayns ynnyd shoh ren uss dty phobble hene y yannoo magh lesh [19] beaghey ainleyn, as hug oo arran daue veih niau, aarlit gys nyn laue,[20] cordail rish yeearree dy chooilley ghooinney, as cooie gys dy chooilley vlass.
|
20 Instead whereof thou feddest thine own people with angels' food, and didst send them from heaven bread prepared without their labour, able to content every man's delight, and agreeing to every taste.
|
|
21 Son ren shoh dty veaghey soilshaghey magh dty chenjallys ghooie gys dty chloan, as myr ve cooie gys yeearree yn eeder, myr shen ren eh eh-hene y chummey gys blass dagh unnane.
|
21 For thy sustenance declared thy sweetness unto thy children, and serving to the appetite of the eater, tempered itself to every man's liking.
|
|
22 Agh ren y sniaghtey as y rio tannaghtyn fud yn aile, as cha lheïe ad, dy chur daue toiggal, dy ren yn aile, va lostey mean y sniaghtey-garroo, as tendreil ayns y fliaghey, stroie messyn nyn noidyn.
|
22 But snow and ice endured the fire, and melted not, that they might know that fire burning in the hail, and sparkling in the rain, did destroy the fruits of the enemies.
|
|
23 Agh ren shoh reesht yn eer dooghys hene y yarrood, dy voddagh yn vooinjer chairal ve er nyn gherjagh.
|
23 But this again did even forget his own strength, that the righteous might be nourished.
|

24 For the creature that serveth thee, who art the Maker increaseth his strength against the unrighteous for their punishment, and abateth his strength for the benefit of such as put their trust in thee.
|
|
25 Shen-y-fa ec y traa shen hene ve er ny chaghlaa er dy chooilley aght, as ve biallagh gys dty ghrayse, ta gerjaghey dy chooilley nhee, cordail rish yn yeearree ocsyn va ayns feme:

25 Therefore even then was it altered into all fashions, and was obedient to thy grace, that nourisheth all things, according to the desire of them that had need:
|
|
26 Dy vod toiggal ’ve ec dty chloan shynney lhiat, O Hiarn, nagh nee liorish messyn y thallooin ta dooinney er ny veaghey, agh dy nee dty ghoo ta dy ooraghey adsyn ta cur nyn dreishteil aynyd.
|
26 That thy children, O Lord, whom thou lovest, might know, that it is not the growing of fruits that nourisheth man: but that it is thy word, which preserveth them that put their trust in thee.
|
|
27 Son shen nagh row er ny stroie liorish yn aile, ren dy leah lheïe ersooyl roish bree-hiass ny greïney.
|
27 For that which was not destroyed of the fire, being warmed with a little sunbeam, soon melted away:

28 Dy choyrt dooin toiggal dy lhisagh shin roish irree-ny-greïney booise y chur dhyt’s, as ec brishey’n laa goaill hood’s nyn badjer.

28 That it might be known, that we must prevent the sun to give thee thanks, and at the dayspring pray unto thee.
|
|
29 Son nee treishteil yn neu-wooisal lheïe ersooyl myr lheeah-rio geuree, as shilley ersooyl myr ushtey gyn-ymmyd.

29 For the hope of the unthankful shall melt away as the winter's hoar frost, and shall run away as unprofitable water.

2 For when unrighteous men thought to oppress the holy nation; they being shut up in their houses, the prisoners of darkness, and fettered with the bonds of a long night, lay there exiled from the eternal providence.
|

3 For while they supposed to lie hid in their secret sins, they were scattered under a dark veil of forgetfulness, being horribly astonished, and troubled with strange apparitions.
|

4 For neither might the corner that held them keep them from fear: but noises as of waters falling down sounded about them, and sad visions appeared unto them with heavy countenances.
|

5 Cha row bree yn aile dy choyrt soilshey daue: chamoo oddagh sollyssid soilshean ny rollageyn surranse dy cheau soilshey ’syn oie atchimagh cheddin.

5 No power of the fire might give them light: neither could the bright flames of the stars endure to lighten that horrible night.

6 Only there appeared unto them a fire kindled of itself, very dreadful: for being much terrified, they thought the things which they saw to be worse than the sight they saw not.
|
|
7 Agh son molteyrys nyn obbeeys v’ad er nyn gastey, as hooar boggyssagh nyn ysseree oghsan naareydagh.

8 Son adsyn ghow orroo dy eiyrt ersooyl atchim as anvea veih annym seaghnit, v’ad hene seaghnit lesh aggle faghidagh.

8 For they, that promised to drive away terrors and troubles from a sick soul, were sick themselves of fear, worthy to be laughed at.
|
|
9 Son ga nagh row oc oyr erbee dy aggle; ny-yeih v’ad ec kione nyn geiley, mannagh row agh y maase goll shaghey, as ec tassane ard-nieughyn,

|
|
10 As hooar ad baase son aggle, gra, Nagh vaik ad yn aer, va mygeayrt-y-moo er dy chooilley heu.

10 They died for fear, denying that they saw the air, which could of no side be avoided.

|
11 For wickedness, condemned by her own witness, is very timorous, and being pressed with conscience, always forecasteth grievous things.
|
|
12 Son cha vel aggle monney arragh, agh brah yn chooney shen ta nyn resoon dy hebbal dooin.

12 For fear is nothing else but a betraying of the succours which reason offereth.
|
|
13 As my sloo t’ad seaghnit cheu-sthie, wheesh shen s’trimmey hig orroo kerraghey nyn mee-hushtey.

13 And the expectation from within, being less, counteth the ignorance more than the cause which bringeth the torment.

14 But they sleeping the same sleep that night, which was indeed intolerable, and which came upon them out of the bottoms of inevitable hell,

15 Were partly vexed with monstrous apparitions, and partly fainted, their heart failing them: for a sudden fear, and not looked for, came upon them.
|
|
16 Myr shen, cre-erbee yn raad huitt fer ny lhie, shen y raad duirree eh, myr dooint ’sy phryssoon gyn boltyn yiarn.

16 So then whosoever there fell down was straitly kept, shut up in a prison without iron bars,

17 For whether he were husbandman, or shepherd, or a labourer in the field, he was overtaken, and endured that necessity, which could not be avoided: for they were all bound with one chain of darkness.

18 Edyr eh ve geay rastagh, ny bingys eeanlee kiaulleeaght mastey banglaneyn ny biljyn, ny feiyr ushtey tuittym veih’n yrjid,

19 Or a terrible sound of stones cast down, or a running that could not be seen of skipping beasts, or a roaring voice of most savage wild beasts, or a rebounding echo from the hollow mountains; these things made them to swoon for fear.
|

20 Son harrish yn chooid elley jeh’n theihll va’n soilshey sollys soilshean, as cha row unnane erbee er nyn lhiettal ayns nyn obbyr.

1 Nevertheless thy saints had a very great light, whose voice they hearing, and not seeing their shape, because they also had not suffered the same things, they counted them happy.

5 And when they had determined to slay the babes of the saints, one child being cast forth, and saved, to reprove them, thou tookest away the multitude of their children, and destroyedst them altogether in a mighty water.

6 Of that night were our fathers certified afore, that assuredly knowing unto what oaths they had given credence, they might afterwards be of good cheer.

8 For wherewith thou didst punish our adversaries, by the same thou didst glorify us, whom thou hadst called.

9 For the righteous children of good men did sacrifice secretly, and with one consent made a holy law, that the saints should be like partakers of the same good and evil, the fathers now singing out the songs of praise.
|
|
10 Agh er y cheu elley va er ny chlashtyn eam atchimagh ny noidyn, as va bardoon trimshagh goll mygeayrt son y chloan v’ad dy ghobberan.

10 But on the other side there sounded an ill according cry of the enemies, and a lamentable noise was carried abroad for children that were bewailed.
|
|
11 Va’n mainshtyr as y charvaant er nyn gerraghey co-laik, as y ree myr dooinney erbee elley.

11 The master and the servant were punished after one manner; and like as the king, so suffered the common person.

12 So they all together had innumerable dead with one kind of death; neither were the living sufficient to bury them: for in one moment the noblest offspring of them was destroyed.

13 Son ga nagh jinnagh ad nhee erbee y chredjal fo molteyrys nyn obbeeys; ny-yeih tra honnick ad cragh nyn mec shinney, ghow ad roo shoh dy ve nyn gloan dy Yee.

17 Then suddenly visions of horrible dreams troubled them sore, and terrors came upon them unlooked for.
|
|
18 As fer as fer jeu lieh-varroo scaait noon as noal, hoilshee ad oyr nyn maaish.
|
18 And one thrown here, and another there, half dead, shewed the cause of his death.
|
|
19 Son va fysseree oc jeh shoh ro-laue veih nyn ghreamallyn seaghnagh, nagh jinnagh ad cherraghtyn gyn toiggal cre’n oyr v’ad seaghnit.
|
19 For the dreams that troubled them did foreshew this, lest they should perish, and not know why they were afflicted.
|
|
20 Dy jarroo haink blass jeh’n vaase er y vooinjer chrauee hene, as haink cragh er y pobble ’syn aasagh: agh cha row yn jymmoose foddey-farraghtyn.
|
20 Yea, the tasting of death touched the righteous also, and there was a destruction of the multitude in the wilderness: but the wrath endured not long.
|
|
21 Son eisht ren y [22] dooinney bannee siyr, as hass eh magh dy endeil ad; as cur lesh scape e hirveish cooie, eer padjer, as lhiasaghey incense, hass eh eddyr adsyn as y jymmoose, as shen myr ren eh yn arkys y lhiettal, soilshaghey dy row eh dty harvaant.
|
21 For then the blameless man made haste, and stood forth to defend them; and bringing the shield of his proper ministry, even prayer, and the propitiation of incense, set himself against the wrath, and so brought the calamity to an end, declaring that he was thy servant.
|
|
22 Shoh myr hooar eh barriaght er y stroieder, cha nee lesh troshid corp, chamoo lesh eilley-caggee, agh lesh fockle hug eh fo-chosh yn cragheyder, liorish lhiasaghey ny breearraghyn, as ny conaantyn, va jeant rish ny ayraghyn.
|
22 So he overcame the destroyer, not with strength of body, nor force of arms, but with a word subdued him that punished, alleging the oaths and covenants made with the fathers.
|
|
23 Son tra va ny merriu nish er duittym sheese ayns carnaneyn yn derrey yeh er y jeh elley, shassoo eddyr ad, ren eh castey yn jymmoose, as lhiettal y raad gys ny bioee.
|
23 For when the dead were now fallen down by heaps one upon another, standing between, he stayed the wrath, and parted the way to the living.
|
|
24 Son ayns y choamrey liauyr va slane aalid, as ayns ny kiare roaghyn dy chlaghyn costal va grainnit gloyr ny ayraghyn, as dty ard-ooashley er attey e chione.
|
24 For in the long garment was the whole world, and in the four rows of the stones was the glory of the fathers graven, and thy Majesty upon the diadem of his head.
|
|
25 Daue shoh hug y stroieder raad, myr v’eh ’syn ammys oc: son s’lioar ve daue agh blass jeh e yymmoose y gheddyn.
|
25 Unto these the destroyer gave place, and was afraid of them: for it was enough that they only tasted of the wrath.

Cab. 19
|
|
|
1 Er son ny mee-chrauee huitt y jymmoose orroo gyn-vyghin gys y jerrey: son va fys echey ro-laue cre yinnagh ad;
|
1 As for the ungodly, wrath came upon them without mercy unto the end: for he knew before what they would do;
|
|
2 Lurg kied y choyrt daue dy immeeaght, as geiyrt magh ad ayns preis siyr, dy goghe ad arrys, as goll er nyn eiyrt’s.
|
2 How that having given them leave to depart, and sent them hastily away, they would repent and pursue them.
|
|
3 Son choud as v’ad foast dobberan as keayney harrish oaiaghyn ny merriu, ghow ad cooish ommijagh elley ayns laue, as deiyr ad orroosyn myr scapailtee, v’ad roïe er n’êginagh dy chosney roue.
|
3 For whilst they were yet mourning and making lamentation at the graves of the dead, they added another foolish device, and pursued them as fugitives, whom they had intreated to be gone.
|
|
4 Son y kerraghey va nauyn daue hayrn ad gys y jerrey shoh, dy daink jarrood orroo cre v’ad hannah er hurranse, dy yannoo magh slane towse ny briwnyssyn shen va kiart orroo.
|
4 For the destiny, whereof they were worthy, drew them unto this end, and made them forget the things that had already happened, that they might fulfil the punishment which was wanting to their torments:
|
|
5 Chammah dy osley raad yindyssagh da dty phobble; agh dy hayrn baase atchimagh orroo shoh.
|
5 And that thy people might pass a wonderful way: but they might find a strange death.
|
|
6 Son va’n slane cretoor lurg e ghooghys er ny chummey reesht ass-y-noa, shirveish ayns nyn oikyn cooie, dy reayll dty chloan hene gyn assee.
|
6 For the whole creature in his proper kind was fashioned again anew, serving the peculiar commandments that were given unto them, that thy children might be kept without hurt:
|
|
7 Ta shen dy ghra, Bodjal scadooagh harrish y champ, as raad va ushtey roïe, thalloo chirrym cheet rish; as trooid yn aarkey-jiarg, raad rea; as trooid y thooilley niartal, magher glass.
|
7 As namely, a cloud shadowing the camp; and where water stood before, dry land appeared; and out of the Red sea a way without impediment; and out of the violent stream a green field:
|
|
8 Ny-hrooid hie ooilley yn pobble va fo coadey dty laue, cur-my-ner dty virrillyn erskyn-towse yindyssagh.
|
8 Wherethrough all the people went that were defended with thy hand, seeing thy marvellous strange wonders.
|
|
9 Son ghow ad raad gyn lhiettal myr cabbil, as lheimyragh myr eayin, cur moylley dhyt’s, O Hiarn, ren ad y livrey.
|
9 For they went at large like horses, and leaped like lambs, praising thee, O Lord, who hadst delivered them.
|
|
10 Son cha row ad foast er yarrood cre v’er daghyrt ayns cheer nyn yoarreeaght, kys dy dymmyrk y thalloo beishteigyn ayns ynnyd maase, as dy row yn awin er-croo lesh froggyn ayns ynnyd eeastyn.
|
10 For they were yet mindful of the things that were done while they sojourned in the strange land, how the ground brought forth flies instead of cattle, and how the river cast up a multitude of frogs instead of fishes.
|
|
11 Agh lurg shen honnick ad sheeloghe noa dy eeanlee, tra va nyn yeearreeyn miandagh jollyssagh er bee blaystal.
|
11 But afterwards they saw a new generation of fowls, when, being led with their appetite, they asked delicate meats.
|
|
12 Son haink quaylyn seose huc veih’n aarkey, dy yannoo magh ad.
|
12 For quails came up unto them from the sea for their contentment.
|
|
13 As haink kerraghey er ny peccee lesh cowraghyn agglagh dy haarneeyn atchimagh: son s’mie hoill ad shoh liorish nyn olkys ayns nyn ghrogh-ghellal creoi as dwoaiagh gys joarreeyn.
|
13 And punishments came upon the sinners not without former signs by the force of thunders: for they suffered justly according to their own wickedness, insomuch as they used a more hard and hateful behaviour toward strangers.
|
|
14 Son cha dug ny Sodomiteyn oltaghey-bea da ny joarreeyn haink ny mast’ oc: agh dreill ad shoh eer caarjyn fo bondiaght, va er hoilchin dy mie voue.
|
14 For the Sodomites did not receive those, whom they knew not when they came: but these brought friends into bondage, that had well deserved of them.
|
|
15 As cha nee shen ny-lomarcan, agh hoiggal dy bee foayr ennagh er ny hoilshaghey dauesyn, nagh ren ad hene y ymmyrkey dy dooie gys joarreeyn.
|
15 And not only so, but peradventure some respect shall be had of those, because they used strangers not friendly:
|
|
16 Agh ghell ad shoh dy feer dewil roosyn v’ad er n’ghoaill stiagh lesh cuirraghyn, as va hannah ayns commeeys mâroo ’sy leighyn cheddin.
|
16 But these very grievously afflicted them, whom they had received with feastings, and were already made partakers of the same laws with them.
|
|
17 Shen-y-fa lesh eer dellid v’ad shoh er nyn mwoalley, myr va’n vooinjer elley ec dorryssyn y dooinney cairagh; tra v’ad combaasit lesh dorraghys dullyr, atchimagh, as dagh unnane razey son raad e ghorrys hene.
|
17 Therefore even with blindness were these stricken, as those were at the doors of the righteous man: when, being compassed about with horrible great darkness, every one sought the passage of his own doors.
|
|
18 Son va ny [23] elementyn er ny chaghlaa ayndoo hene, myr liorish keint dy choardail, myr ayns greïe-chiaullee, ta caghlaa bingys cur ennym elley er y shiaull, as ny-yeih te foast bingys, as foddee mayd baght y ghoaill jeh shoh liorish ny ta hannah er daghyrt ’sy theihll.
|
18 For the elements were changed in themselves by a kind of harmony, like as in a psaltery notes change the name of the tune, and yet are always sounds; which may well be perceived by the sight of the things that have been done.
|
|
19 Son va nheeghyn thallooinagh er ny chaghlaa gys ushtagh, as ny reddyn va roïe snaue ’syn ushtey, v’ad nish gimmeeaght er y thalloo.
|
19 For earthly things were turned into watery, and the things, that before swam in the water, now went upon the ground.
|
|
20 Va pooar ec yn aile ’syn ushtey, jarrood yn dooghys echey hene: as chaill yn ushtey e ghooghys mooghee hene.
|
20 The fire had power in the water, forgetting his own virtue: and the water forgat his own quenching nature.
|
|
21 Er y cheu elley, cha ren bree yn aile stroie feill cretooryn marvaanagh, ga dy jimmee ad ayn; chamoo lheïe eh yn [24] bee flaunyssagh shen, va dooghyssagh da dy lheïe, myr y lheeah-rio rish chiass ny greïney.
|
21 On the other side, the flames wasted not the flesh of the corruptible living things, though they walked therein; neither melted they the icy kind of heavenly meat that was of nature apt to melt.
|
|
22 Son ayns dy chooilley nhee, O Hiarn, ren oo mooar jeh dty phobble, as ren oo ad y ghloyraghey, chamoo ren oo beg y hoiaghey jeu: agh chooin oo lhieu ec dy chooilley hraa, as ayns dy chooilley voayl.
|
22 For in all things, O Lord, thou didst magnify thy people, and glorify them, neither didst thou lightly regard them: but didst assist them in every time and place.

1 Ta dy chooilley chreenaght cheet veih’n Chiarn, as mârishyn te tannaghtyn son dy bragh.
|
1 All wisdom cometh from the Lord, and is with him for ever.
|
|
2 Quoi oddys earroo y ghoaill jeh genniagh ny marrey, as jeh ny bineyn fliaghee, as y traa gyn toshiaght, gyn jerrey?
|
2 Who can number the sand of the sea, and the drops of rain, and the days of eternity?
|
|
3 Quoi oddys toiggal yrjid niau, as lheead y thallooin, as diunid ny marrey, as creenaght?
|
3 Who can find out the height of heaven, and the breadth of the earth, and the deep, and wisdom?
|
|
4 Ta creenaght er ny ve ayn roish dy chooilley nhee, as ta fysseree e hushtey veih er-dy-rieau.
|
4 Wisdom hath been created before all things, and the understanding of prudence from everlasting.
|
|
5 Ta goo yn Jee smoo syrjey bun e chreenaght; as ta ny raaidyn ecksh annaghyn dy bragh breeoil.
|
5 The word of God most high is the fountain of wisdom; and her ways are everlasting commandments.
|
|
6 Quoi da ta bun creenaght er ve er ny hoilshaghey, ny quoi ta toiggal e coyrleyn creeney?
|
6 To whom hath the root of wisdom been revealed? or who hath known her wise counsels?
|
|
7 [Quoi da ta tushtey e chreenaght er ny ve soilshit? as quoi ta dy slane er hoiggal e obbraghyn yindyssagh?]
|
7 Unto whom hath the knowledge of wisdom been made manifest? and who hath understood her great experience?
|
|
8 Ta un er ayn ynrycan creeney as ard-aggle dy ve goit roish; eer y Chiarn ta ny hoie er e stoyl-reeoil.
|
8 There is one wise and greatly to be feared, the Lord sitting upon his throne.
|
|
9 Ren eh ish y chroo, as ghow eh yn baght eck, as yn earroo jee, as heeyn eh magh ee er ooilley e obbraghyn.
|
9 He created her, and saw her, and numbered her, and poured her out upon all his works.
|
|
10 T’eeish marish dy chooilley chretoor cordail rish e yioot, as t’eh er choyrt ee dauesyn ta graihagh er.
|
10 She is with all flesh according to his gift, and he hath given her to them that love him.
|
|
11 Ta aggle y Chiarn ooashley as gloyr, as gennallys, as attey dy voggey.
|
11 The fear of the Lord is honour, and glory, and gladness, and a crown of rejoicing.
|
|
12 Ta aggle y Chiarn jannoo cree gennal, as te coyrt boggey as gerjagh, as bea liauyr.
|
12 The fear of the Lord maketh a merry heart, and giveth joy, and gladness, and a long life.
|
|
13 Quoi erbee, ayn ta aggle y Chiarn, hig eh jeh dy mie ec y jerrey as yiow eh foayr ec laa e vaaish.
|
13 Whoso feareth the Lord, it shall go well with him at the last, and he shall find favour in the day of his death.
|
|
14 Dy ghoaill aggle roish y Chiarn, te bun dy chooilley chreenaght: as ve er ny chummey marish y chloan ynrick ayns y vreïn.
|
14 To fear the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and it was created with the faithful in the womb.
|
|
15 T’ee er hoiaghey undin dy bragh farraghtyn marish deiney, as nee ee tannaghtyn marish nyn sluight.
|
15 She hath built an everlasting foundation with men, and she shall continue with their seed.
|
|
16 Dy ghoaill aggle roish y Chiarn, she shen yn ard-chreenaght; as t’ee jannoo magh cloan gheiney lesh nyn messyn eck:
|
16 To fear the Lord is fulness of wisdom, and filleth men with her fruits.
|
|
17 T’ee dy lhieeney ooilley nyn dhieyn lesh nheeghyn mie, as ny thieyn-tashtee lesh bishaghey.
|
17 She filleth all their house with things desirable, and the garners with her increase.
|
|
18 Ta aggle y Chiarn attey dy chreenaght, cur er shee as slaynt firrinagh dy vlaaghey, as t’ad shoh ny neesht giootyn Yee: as te dy vishaghey yn voggey ocsyn ta graihagh er.
|
18 The fear of the Lord is a crown of wisdom, making peace and perfect health to flourish; both which are the gifts of God: and it enlargeth their rejoicing that love him.
|
|
19 Ta creenaght shilley neose schleï, as tushtey dy hoiggal, as t’ee dy hroggal seose adsyn gys ard-ooashley, ta cummal dy kinjagh mâree.
|
19 Wisdom raineth down skill and knowledge of understanding standing, and exalteth them to honour that hold her fast.
|
|
20 Te fraue creenaght dy ghoaill aggle roish y Chiarn, as ta ny banglaneyn echey bea liauyr.
|
20 The root of wisdom is to fear the Lord, and the branches thereof are long life.
|
|
21 Ta aggle y Chiarn dy eiyrt ersooyl peccah, as cre-erbee yn raad te, te castey jymmoose.
|
21 The fear of the Lord driveth away sins: and where it is present, it turneth away wrath.
|
|
22 Cha vod dooinney eulyssagh ve er ny heyrey, son nee aile e eulys eh hene y stroie.
|
22 A furious man cannot be justified; for the sway of his fury shall be his destruction.
|
|
23 Foddee dooinney soccaragh surranse son traa; agh fy-yerrey hig boggey ny whail.
|
23 A patient man will bear for a time, and afterward joy shall spring up unto him.
|
|
24 Nee eh e ghoan y smaghtagh son traa, as nee meillyn ymmodee fockley magh e chreenaght.
|
24 He will hide his words for a time, and the lips of many shall declare his wisdom.
|
|
25 Ta raaghyn tushtey ayns tashtaghyn creenaght: agh ta craueeaght dwoaiagh da’n vee-chrauee.
|
25 The parables of knowledge are in the treasures of wisdom: but godliness is an abomination to a sinner.
|
|
26 My t’ou geearree creenaght, freill ny annaghyn, as nee yn Chiarn giootal ort ee.
|
26 If thou desire wisdom, keep the commandments, and the Lord shall give her unto thee.
|
|
27 Son ta aggle y Chiarn creenaght as ynsagh: as ta credjue as meenid yn taitnys echeysyn.
|
27 For the fear of the Lord is wisdom and instruction: and faith and meekness are his delight.
|
|
28 Ny bee lhag-hreishteilagh ayns aggle y Chiarn, tra t’ou boght: as ny tar kiongoyrt rish lesh cree dooble.
|
28 Distrust not the fear of the Lord when thou art poor: and come not unto him with a double heart.
|
|
29 Ny bee dty er-crauee-oalsey ayns shilley gheiney, as gow kiarail vie cre t’ou dy loayrt.
|
29 Be not an hypocrite in the sight of men, and take good heed what thou speakest.
|
|
30 Ny bee mooaralagh, er-aggle dy duitt oo, as dy dayrn oo scammylt er dty annym, as myr shen dy jean Jee dty pheccaghyn follit y hoilshaghey, as oo y cherraghey fenish ooilley yn pobble; er-yn-oyr nagh daink oo ayns ynrickys gys aggle y Chiarn, agh dy vel dty chree lane dy volteyrys.
|
30 Exalt not thyself, lest thou fall, and bring dishonour upon thy soul, and so God discover thy secrets, and cast thee down in the midst of the congregation, because thou camest not in truth to the fear of the Lord, but thy heart is full of deceit.

|
10 Look at the generations of old, and see; did ever any trust in the Lord, and was confounded? or did any abide in his fear, and was forsaken? or whom did he ever despise, that called upon him?
|
|
11 Son ta’n Chiarn lane dy hymmey as dy vyghin; foddey-surransagh, as feer erreeishagh, as leih peccaghyn, as sauail ayns earish seaghyn.

11 For the Lord is full of compassion and mercy, longsuffering, and very pitiful, and forgiveth sins, and saveth in time of affliction.
|
|
12 Smerg da’n moal-chreeagh, as lhag-lauee, as y peccagh ta [25] goaill daa raad.

|
|
2 Son ta’n Chiarn er choyrt da’n ayr arrym harrish y chloan, as t’eh er hickyraghey pooar y voir harrish ny mec.

2 For the Lord hath given the father honour over the children, and hath confirmed the authority of the mother over the sons.
|
|
3 Eshyn ta arrymagh da e ayr, t’eh jannoo lhiasaghey son e pheccaghyn.
|
3 Whoso honoureth his father maketh an atonement for his sins:

9 Son ta bannaght nyn ayr shickyraghey thieyn y chloan, agh ta mollaght mayrey dy astyrt ass ny undinyn.

11 Son ta gloyr dooinney veih ooashley e ayr; as ta moir scammyltagh nearey da e cloan.

11 For the glory of a man is from the honour of his father; and a mother in dishonour is a reproach to the children.

|
|
29 Nee cree yn dooinney tushtagh toiggal raaghyn-dorraghey, as ta cleaysh beasagh boggey yn dooinney creeney.

29 The heart of the prudent will understand a parable; and an attentive ear is the desire of a wise man.

30 Nee ushtey mooghey chiass loshtee yn aile, as ta giastyllys jannoo lhiasaghey son peccaghyn:

31 And he that requiteth good turns is mindful of that which may come hereafter; and when he falleth, he shall find a stay.

4 Boast not of thy clothing and raiment, and exalt not thyself in the day of honour: for the works of the Lord are wonderful, and his works among men are hidden.

12 Again, there is another that is slow, and hath need of help, wanting ability, and full of poverty; yet the eye of the Lord looked upon him for good, and set him up from his low estate,
|

13 As er droggal seose e chione veih treihys, myr shen dy row eh lane yindys dauesyn honnick eh.

16 Marranys as dorraghys ghow ad toshiaght marish peccee; as adsyn ta boggyssagh ayns olk, aasee ad shenn ayn.

19 Whereas he saith, I have found rest, and now will eat continually of my goods; and yet he knoweth not what time shall come upon him, and that he must leave those things to others, and die.

20 Bee shickyr ayns dty chonaant, as ainjyssagh er, as freill eh choud ’s’bio oo.

25 Ayns traa nyn maynrys ta shin jarrood seaghyn; as ayns earish nyn seaghyn cha vel shin arragh cooinaghtyn er maynrys.

23 When a rich man speaketh, every man holdeth his tongue, and, look, what he saith, they extol it to the clouds: but if the poor man speak, they say, What fellow is this? and if he stumble, they will help to overthrow him.

7 As my t’eh jannoo dy mie, t’eh jannoo eh marran[,] as fy-yerrey t’eh coyrt e olkys er-ash.

9 Cha vel sooill yn dooinney sondagh bwooiagh lesh e chooid hene, as ta olkys yn vee-chrauee shirgaghey seose e annym.

23 Fy-yerrey nee eh troggal er, as chooilleeney ad, as coyrt nyn leagh er nyn ghing.

1 He that liveth for ever Hath created all things in general.

2 The Lord only is righteous, and there is none other but he,

3 Ta reill yn seihll lesh bass e laue, as ta dy chooilley nhee coyrt biallys da’n aigney echey: son t’eh ny ree harrish ooilley liorish e phooar; scarrey reddyn casherick ny mast’ oc veih neu-chasherick.
|
3 Who governeth the world with the palm of his hand, and all things obey his will: for he is the King of all, by his power dividing holy things among them from profane.
|
|
4 Quoi oddys dy feeu soilshaghey e obbraghyn? ny dy feeu fockley-magh e obbraghyn ooasle?
|
4 To whom hath he given power to declare his works? and who shall find out his noble acts?
|
|
5 Quoi nee coontey niart e ard-ooashley? as quoi nee e vyghinyn y ockley magh?
|
5 Who shall number the strength of his majesty? and who shall also tell out his mercies?
|

6 Er son obbraghyn yindyssagh y Chiarn, cha vod veg ve goit voue, ny veg er ny choyrt huc, chamoo oddys yn bun oc v’er ny gheddyn magh.
|
6 As for the wondrous works of the Lord, there may nothing be taken from them, neither may any thing be put unto them, neither can the ground of them be found out.
|
|
7 Erreeish da dooinney v’er n’yannoo jerrey, cha vel eh eisht agh goaill toshiaght: as tra t'eh scuirr, t’eh foast imneagh.

7 When a man hath done, then he beginneth; and when he leaveth off, then he shall be doubtful.
|
|
8 Cre ta dooinney, as cre’n ymmyd t’ayn? cre ta’n foays, as cre ta’n olk echey?

8 What is man, and whereto serveth he? what is his good, and what is his evil?

9 The number of a man's days at the most are an hundred years.

11 Shen-y-fa ta Jee gymmyrkey lhieu, as deayrtey magh e vyghin orroo.

11 Therefore is God patient with them, and poureth forth his mercy upon them.

12 Honnick eh, as hug eh my-ner yn jerrey oc dy ve olk; shen-y-fa vishee eh yn erreeish echey.

12 He saw and perceived their end to be evil; therefore he multiplied his compassion.

|
13 The mercy of man is toward his neighbour; but the mercy of the Lord is upon all flesh: he reproveth, and nurtureth, and teacheth and bringeth again, as a shepherd his flock.
|
|
14 T’eh myghinagh dauesyn ta goaill ynsaghey, as ta shirrey dy imneagh lurg e vriwnyssyn.

14 He hath mercy on them that receive discipline, and that diligently seek after his judgments.

18 Ta ommydan goltooan dy fargagh, as ta gioot y dooinney trooagh cur mow ny sooillyn.

24 Think upon the wrath that shall be at the end, and the time of vengeance, when he shall turn away his face.

25 Tra t’ou jeant magh, cooinee er traa yn accyrys: as tra t’ou berchagh, smooinee er boghtynid as ymmyrch.

25 When thou hast enough, remember the time of hunger: and when thou art rich, think upon poverty and need.

26 Veih moghrey derrey’n astyr ta’n traa caghlaa, as ta dagh nhee dy leah jeant roish y Chiarn.

28 Every man of understanding knoweth wisdom, and will give praise unto him that found her.
|
|
29 Adsyn va tushtagh ayns raaghyn-creeney, haink ad dy ve creeney ad hene, as dy ockley-magh ymmodee raaghyn-creeney.

29 They that were of understanding in sayings became also wise themselves, and poured forth exquisite parables.

30 Ny cur raad da dty hayntyn foalley, agh smaghtee oo hene veih dty yeearreeyn.

26 Ta drogh-ghooinney ayn ta croymmey sheese e chione dy groamagh; agh ta e chree lane dy volteyrys.

|
|
2 Ta coyrle foshlit ny share na corree keillit: as nee eshyn ta goaill-rish e oiljyn shaghney dagh olk.

3 Cre cha mie te tra ta oghsan er ny choyrt dhyt, dy hoilshaghey arrys! son myr shen nee oo shaghney peccah jeh dty yoïn.

4 Myr ta saynt dooinney gennish dy ghoaill moidyn er-êgin; myrgeddin t’eshyn ta cassey briwnys er-niart.

6 Ta dooinney ny ghaa cummal e hengey, er-yn-oyr nagh vel veg echey dy ghra; as fer elley ny-host, toiggal e hraa.

6 Some man holdeth his tongue, because he hath not to answer: and some keepeth silence, knowing his time.
|

7 Nee dooinney creeney cummal e hengey, derrey heeys eh caa; agh cha der y pleadeyr beealeragh, ny ommydan, geill da traa erbee.

8 Ver sleih feoh da’n perkin: as bee dwoaie oc ersyn ta goaill rouyr taggloo er.

9 Ta drogh-ghooinney ayn ta raahoil ayns e ghrogh-yannoo; as ta cosney ayn ta chyndaa gys coayl.

9 There is a sinner that hath good success in evil things; and there is a gain that turneth to loss.
|
|
10 Ta toyrtys ayn nagh jean veg dy vie dhyt: as ta toyrtys ayn, ta’n cooilleeney echey dooble.

10 There is a gift that shall not profit thee; and there is a gift whose recompence is double.
|
|
11 Ta fer dy injillaghey eh hene ayns treishteil dy ve ny share; as fer elley troggal seose e chione veih stayd injil.

11 There is an abasement because of glory; and there is that lifteth up his head from a low estate.

12 Ta fer ayn ta kionnaghey mooarane son red fardalagh, as geeck er shiaght-filley.

12 There is that buyeth much for a little, and repayeth it sevenfold.

13 Ta dooinney creeney liorish e ghoan geddyn graih da hene; agh ta feoiltys ny ommydanyn gys beggan ymmyd.

13 A wise man by his words maketh him beloved: but the graces of fools shall be poured out.
|
|
14 Cha jean gioot yn ommydan foays dhyt lurg da ve ayd; ny toyrtys y trooagh, son dy row eh êginit veih: son t’eh jerkal rish mooarane cosney veih red fardalagh.

14 The gift of a fool shall do thee no good when thou hast it; neither yet of the envious for his necessity: for he looketh to receive many things for one.
|
|
15 Son y veggan t’eh dy choyrt, t’eh mooaraghey dy creoi, t’eh fosley e veeal myr kiaullaneyder: t’eh geeasagh jiu, as shirrey reesht mairagh: ta lheid y fer dwoaiagh fenish Jee as dooinney.
|
15 He giveth little, and upbraideth much; he openeth his mouth like a crier; to day he lendeth, and to morrow will he ask it again: such an one is to be hated of God and man.
|
|
16 Ta’n ommydan gra, Cha vel carrey ’sy theihll aym, cha vel booise aym son ooilley my obbyr vie, as t'adsyn ta beaghey orrym loayrt dy olk jee’m.

17 Cre cha mennick, as cre whilleen nee craidey mysh! son cha vel tushtey echey dy yannoo ymmyd mie jeh shen ny t’echey: as te yn un chooid da dy ve n’egooish.

18 Te ny sauchey dy skirraghtyn er pavement na lesh y chengey: myr shen hig lhieggey ny mee-chrauee doaltattym orroo.

18 To slip upon a pavement is better than to slip with the tongue: so the fall of the wicked shall come speedily.

19 Ta skeeal ommijagh dy kinjagh ayns beeal y vlebbin.
|
19 An unseasonable tale will always be in the mouth of the unwise.

25 Ta marliagh hene ny share na’n breagerey kinjagh: as toyrt-mow vees y cronney oc ny-neesht.

25 A thief is better than a man that is accustomed to lie: but they both shall have destruction to heritage.

26 Ta ymmrkey-bea breagerey scammyltagh, as ta nearey kinjagh mârish.

26 The disposition of a liar is dishonourable, and his shame is ever with him.

|
1 My vac, vel oo er n’yannoo peccah? ny jean y lheid arragh, agh shir leih son ny peccaghyn t’ou er n’yannoo.
|
1 My son, hast thou sinned? do so no more, but ask pardon for thy former sins.
|
|
2 Chea veih peccah, myr veih eddin yn ard-nieu: son my hig oo ro aggys da, lhottee eh oo: ta ny feeacklyn echey myr feeacklyn lion, stroie anmeenyn deiney.
|
2 Flee from sin as from the face of a serpent: for if thou comest too near it, it will bite thee: the teeth thereof are as the teeth of a lion, slaying the souls of men.
|
|
3 Ta dy chooilley pheccah goll-rish cliwe dy ghaa-foyr, cha vod ny lhottyn echey v’er ny lheihys.
|
3 All iniquity is as a two edged sword, the wounds whereof cannot be healed.
|
|
4 Dy vaggyrt, as dy yannoo aggair, nee stroie berchys: myr shoh vees thie deiney mooaralagh jeant ny hraartys.
|
4 To terrify and do wrong will waste riches: thus the house of proud men shall be made desolate.
|
|
5 Ta padjer ass beeal dooinney boght roshtyn gys cleayshyn Yee, as ta e vriwnys cheet dy tappee.
|
5 A prayer out of a poor man's mouth reacheth to the ears of God, and his judgment cometh speedily.
|
|
6 Eshyn nagh gow rish oghsan v’er ny choyrt da, t’eh ayns raad drogh leih; agh eshyn ta goaill aggle roish y Chiarn, ghoys arrys veih e chree.
|
6 He that hateth to be reproved is in the way of sinners: but he that feareth the Lord will repent from his heart.
|
|
7 Ta dooinney tagglooagh as eh cronnit foddey as gerrit, agh ta dooinney tastagh toiggal tra t’eh skirraghtyn.
|
7 An eloquent man is known far and near; but a man of understanding knoweth when he slippeth.
|
|
8 Eshyn ta troggal e hie lesh argid eeasit, ta goll-rish fer ta chaglym claghyn da hene, son e lhiaght-oanluckee.
|
8 He that buildeth his house with other men's money is like one that gathereth himself stones for the tomb of his burial.
|
|
9 Ta co-chruinnaght ny mee-chrauee myr kionnan dy lieen-barree: dy ve stroit fy-yerrey ayns blaze dy aile.
|
9 The congregation of the wicked is like tow wrapped together: and the end of them is a flame of fire to destroy them.
|
|
10 Ta raad peccee jeant rea lesh claghyn, agh te ghoaill jerrey ayns ooig niurin.
|
10 The way of sinners is made plain with stones, but at the end thereof is the pit of hell.
|
|
11 T’eshyn ta freayll leigh yn Chiarn geddyn tushtey jeh: as ta aggle y Chiarn bun creenaght.
|
11 He that keepeth the law of the Lord getteth the understanding thereof: and the perfection of the fear of the Lord is wisdom.
|
|
12 Eshyn nagh vel creeney, cha gow eh ynsagh: agh ta creenaght ayn ta bishaghey sneih-aigney.
|
12 He that is not wise will not be taught: but there is a wisdom which multiplieth bitterness.
|
|
13 Nee tushtey dooinney creeney bishaghey myr thooilley: as ta’n choyrle echey goll-rish farrane glen dy vea.
|
13 The knowledge of a wise man shall abound like a flood: and his counsel is like a pure fountain of life.
|
|
14 Ta cree yn ommydan myr saagh brisht, as cha gum eh tushtey choud as t’eh bio.
|
14 The inner parts of a fool are like a broken vessel, and he will hold no knowledge as long as he liveth.
|
|
15 My chlinnys dooinney tushtagh raa-creeney, ver eh moylley da, as goaill huggey hene eh; agh tra chlinnys yn ommydan y lheid, te jannoo corree jeh, as t’eh cur cooyl rish.
|
15 If a skilful man hear a wise word, he will commend it, and add unto it: but as soon as one of no understanding heareth it, it displeaseth him, and he casteth it behind his back.
|
|
16 Ta taggloo yn ommydan myr errey-lhiettal ’sy raad; agh bee grayse ry-gheddyn ayns meillyn y dooinney creeney.
|
16 The talking of a fool is like a burden in the way: but grace shall be found in the lips of the wise.
|
|
17 T’ad goaill coyrle ec beeal y dooinney creeney ayns y whaiyl, as nee ad smooinaghtyn er e ghoan ayns nyn gree.
|
17 They enquire at the mouth of the wise man in the congregation, and they shall ponder his words in their heart.
|
|
18 Ta creenaght yn ommydan goll naardey myr tholtan; as ta tushtey yn vee-cheeayllagh goll-rish glare branlaadee.
|
18 As is a house that is destroyed, so is wisdom to a fool: and the knowledge of the unwise is as talk without sense.
|
|
19 Ta ynsagh da ommydanyn myr lankeid er e chassyn, as geulaghyn er e laue yesh.
|
19 Doctrine unto fools is as fetters on the feet, and like manacles on the right hand.
|
|
20 Ta’n ommydan troggal seose e choraa lesh ard-gharraghtee, agh son y dooinney creeney s’coan t’eh er chlashtyn.
|
20 A fool lifteth up his voice with laughter; but a wise man doth scarce smile a little.
|
|
21 Ta ynsagh myr jewel airh da dooinney creeney, as myr bracelet costal er e roih yesh.
|
21 Learning is unto a wise man as an ornament of gold, and like a bracelet upon his right arm.
|
|
22 Ta cass yn ommydan ro-vennick taaghey thie e naboo: agh raad ta dooinney mie-ynsit bee nearey er jannoo y lheid.
|
22 A foolish man's foot is soon in his neighbour's house: but a man of experience is ashamed of him.
|
|
23 Nee ommydan peeikearagh stiagh er dorrys; agh nee eshyn ta mie-ynsit shaghney shen.
|
23 A fool will peep in at the door into the house: but he that is well nurtured will stand without.
|
|
24 Te drogh-ynsagh ayns dooinney dy eaishtagh ec y dorrys: agh nee dooinney creeney shaghney lheid yn oltooan.
|
24 It is the rudeness of a man to hearken at the door: but a wise man will be grieved with the disgrace.
|
|
25 Bee meillyn ny beealeree loayrt jeh cooishyn nagh vel bentyn daue: agh ta goan deiney tushtagh er nyn dhowse ayns ny meihaghyn.
|
25 The lips of talkers will be telling such things as pertain not unto them: but the words of such as have understanding are weighed in the balance.
|
|
26 Ta cree ny mee-hushtee ayns nyn meeal, agh ta beeal y vooinjer chreeney ayns nyn gree.
|
26 The heart of fools is in their mouth: but the mouth of the wise is in their heart.
|
|
27 Tra ta’n vee-chrauee gwee mollaght da Satan, t’eh gwee mollaght da’n annym echey hene.
|
27 When the ungodly curseth Satan, he curseth his own soul.
|
|
28 Ta tutler tayrn loght er e annym hene, as t’eh dwoaiagh cre theihll t’eh cummal.
|
28 A whisperer defileth his own soul, and is hated wheresoever he dwelleth.

|
|
2 Ta dooinney litcheragh er ny hoylaghey gys trustyr: nee dy chooilley unnane ta bentyn rish craa ass e laue eh.

2 A slothful man is compared to the filth of a dunghill: every man that takes it up will shake his hand.
|
|
3 Ta mac dy ghrogh-ynsagh mee-ooashley e ayr hooar eh: as ta inneen [ommijagh] ruggit gys e assee.
|
3 An evil nurtured son is the dishonour of his father that begat him: and a foolish daughter is born to his loss.
|
|
4 Ver inneen chreeney lh’ee eiraght gys e sheshey; agh t’eeish ta beaghey neu-onneragh trimshey da e ayr.
|
4 A wise daughter shall bring an inheritance to her husband: but she that liveth dishonestly is her father's heaviness.
|
|
5 Nee yn unnane ghaaney tayrn scammylt chammah er e ayr as e sheshey, agh nee ad ny-neesht beg y hoiaghey j’eeish.

5 She that is bold dishonoureth both her father and her husband, but they both shall despise her.
|
|
6 Ta naight ass imbagh cooie myr ronneeaght ec farrarey: agh ta oghsan as smaght dy chreenaght cooie ec dy chooilley hraa.

6 A tale out of season is as musick in mourning: but stripes and correction of wisdom are never out of time.
|
|
7 Quoi-erbee ta gynsaghey ommydan, t’eh casley rishyn ta thah yn shlig, as casley rishyn ta doostey fer ass cadley trome.

7 Whoso teacheth a fool is as one that glueth a potsherd together, and as he that waketh one from a sound sleep.
|
|
8 Ta eshyn, ta ginsh skeeal da ommydan, loayrt rish fer ta ayns saveenys: lurg da v’er n’insh e skeeal, jir eh, Cre ta’n chooish?

8 He that telleth a tale to a fool speaketh to one in a slumber: when he hath told his tale, he will say, What is the matter?
|
|
9 My ta cloan beaghey dy onneragh, as fort oc, nee ad coodaghey ymmyrch nyn ayraghyn.
|
9 If children live honestly, and have wherewithal, they shall cover the baseness of their parents.
|
|
10 Agh adsyn ta gymmyrkey ad hene dy moyrnagh, as dy mooaralagh, trooid drogh-ynsagh, nee tayrn scammylt er ooashley nyn gynney.

10 But children, being haughty, through disdain and want of nurture do stain the nobility of their kindred.
|
|
11 Jean dobberan son y varroo, son t’eh er choayl y toilshey; as jean dobberan son ommydan, son t’eh gyn tushtey: ny jean agh beggan dobberan son y varroo, son t’eh ec fea: agh ta bea yn ommydan ny smessey na baase.
|
11 Weep for the dead, for he hath lost the light: and weep for the fool, for he wanteth understanding: make little weeping for the dead, for he is at rest: but the life of the fool is worse than death.
|
|
12 Slane shiaghtin ta deiney dobberan son y varroo; agh son ommydan as dooinney mee-chrauee, ooilley laghyn e vea.
|
12 Seven days do men mourn for him that is dead; but for a fool and an ungodly man all the days of his life.
|
|
13 Ny jean cooid vooar dy haggloo rish ommydan, as ny jean sheshaght rish fer mee-hushtagh: bee er dty hwoaie jeh er-aggle dy vow seaghyn, as cha bee oo dy bragh mollit lesh e ommijys: shaghyn eh, as yiow fea, as cha bee oo boirit lesh e vee-cheïlid.
|
13 Talk not much with a fool, and go not to him that hath no understanding: beware of him, lest thou have trouble, and thou shalt never be defiled with his fooleries: depart from him, and thou shalt find rest, and never be disquieted with madness.
|
|
14 Cre ta ny s’trimmey na leoaie? as cre ta’n ennym echey, agh ommydan?

14 What is heavier than lead? and what is the name thereof, but a fool?
|
|
15 Ta genniagh, as sollan, as errey dy yiarn, ny s’assey dy v’er ny ymmyrkey, na dooinney gyn tushtey.

15 Sand, and salt, and a mass of iron, is easier to bear, than a man without understanding.

16 As timber girt and bound together in a building cannot be loosed with shaking: so the heart that is stablished by advised counsel shall fear at no time.
|
|
17 Ta cree t’er ny hickyraghey er smooinaghtyn creeney, goll-rish plaistyral aalin er voalley galleree.
|
17 A heart settled upon a thought of understanding is as a fair plaistering on the wall of a gallery.
|
|
18 Myr nagh vod radling troggit er yn yrjey shassoo noi niart ny geayee: myr shen cha vod cree agglagh, ayns smooinaghtyn ommydan, shassoo noi aggle erbee.
|
18 Pales set on an high place will never stand against the wind: so a fearful heart in the imagination of a fool cannot stand against any fear.
|
|
19 Eshyn ta coyrt gah ’sy thooill, ver er jeir tuittym; as eshyn, ta coyrt guin ’sy chree, ver er soilshaghey e hushtey.

19 He that pricketh the eye will make tears to fall: and he that pricketh the heart maketh it to shew her knowledge.
|
|
20 Quoi-erbee hilgys clagh er eeanlee, scaa-ee eh ad ersooyl: as t’eshyn, ta goltooaney e charrey, brishey caardys.

20 Whoso casteth a stone at the birds frayeth them away: and he that upbraideth his friend breaketh friendship.
|
|
21 Ga dy hayrn oo cliwe er dty charrey, foast ny jean mee-hreishteil: son foddee foast coardail y ve eddyr shiu.

21 Though thou drewest a sword at thy friend, yet despair not: for there may be a returning to favour.

|
22 If thou hast opened thy mouth against thy friend, fear not; for there may be a reconciliation: except for upbraiding, or pride, or disclosing of secrets, or a treacherous wound: for for these things every friend will depart.
|
|
23 Bee firrinagh gys dty naboo ayns e voghtynid, dy vod oo boggey ’ghoaill mârish ayns e vaynrys: shass liorish dy shickyr ayns earish e heaghyn, dy vod cronney ’ve ayd mârish ayns e eiraght: son cha vel stayd injil dy kinjagh as beg dy v’er ny hoiaghey jeh: chamoo yn berchagh ta ommijagh, as ard-soiagh dy ve jeant jehsyn.
|
23 Be faithful to thy neighbour in his poverty, that thou mayest rejoice in his prosperity: abide stedfast unto him in the time of his trouble, that thou mayest be heir with him in his heritage: for a mean estate is not always to be contemned: nor the rich that is foolish to be had in admiration.
|
|
24 My ta bree as jaagh y choirrey goll roish yn aile: myrgeddin ta oltooan roish fuill.

24 As the vapour and smoke of a furnace goeth before the fire; so reviling before blood.

25 I will not be ashamed to defend a friend; neither will I hide myself from him.

26 And if any evil happen unto me by him, every one that heareth it will beware of him.

27 Who shall set a watch before my mouth, and a seal of wisdom upon my lips, that I fall not suddenly by them, and that my tongue destroy me not?

5 Chyndaa ersooyl voym treishteil fardalagh, as saynt, as nee oo eshyn y niartaghey ta dy kinjagh aggindagh gys dty hirveish.

|
|
6 Ny lhig da jollys y volg, ny saynt ny foalley, greme y ghoaill orrym, as ny livrey dty harvaant gys cree daaney.

8 Bee yn drogh-yantagh faagit ayns e ommijys: nee chammah yn oltooanagh as y dooinney moyrnagh tuittym lioroo.

8 The sinner shall be left in his foolishness: both the evil speaker and the proud shall fall thereby.
|

9 Ny cliaghtee dty veeal gys loo: chamoo jean imraa cadjin jeh ennym yn er casherick.

9 Accustom not thy mouth to swearing; neither use thyself to the naming of the Holy One.

10 Son myr nagh bee sharvaant, ta kinjagh er ny gheealey, fegooish lhottyn doo-gorrym: myr shen, eshyn ta loo as genmys Jee kinjagh, cha bee eh gyn-loght.

|
11 A man that useth much swearing shall be filled with iniquity, and the plague shall never depart from his house: if he shall offend, his sin shall be upon him: and if he acknowledge not his sin, he maketh a double offence: and if he swear in vain, he shall not be innocent, but his house shall be full of calamities.

12 There is a word that is clothed about with death: God grant that it be not found in the heritage of Jacob; for all such things shall be far from the godly, and they shall not wallow in their sins.
|
|
13 Ny cliaghtee dty veeal gys loo cadjin, son ayns shen ta’n goo dy pheccah.

14 Remember thy father and thy mother, when thou sittest among great men. Be not forgetful before them, and so thou by thy custom become a fool, and wish that thou hadst not been born, and curse they day of thy nativity.
|
|
15 Yn dooinney ta cliaghtey drogh-ghlare, cha vaag eh jeh ooilley laghyn e vea.

|
16 Two sorts of men multiply sin, and the third will bring wrath: a hot mind is as a burning fire, it will never be quenched till it be consumed: a fornicator in the body of his flesh will never cease till he hath kindled a fire.
|
|
17 Ta dy chooilley arran millish da maarderagh, cha vaag eh jeh derrey laa e vaaish.

|
18 A man that breaketh wedlock, saying thus in his heart, Who seeth me? I am compassed about with darkness, the walls cover me, and no body seeth me; what need I to fear? the most High will not remember my sins:
|

19 Such a man only feareth the eyes of men, and knoweth not that the eyes of the Lord are ten thousand times brighter than the sun, beholding all the ways of men, and considering the most secret parts.
|
|
20 (Bione da dy chooilley nhee roish my row ad er nyn groo; myrgeddin lurg daue ve jeant, yeeagh eh orroo ooilley.)

20 He knew all things ere ever they were created; so also after they were perfected he looked upon them all.

22 Myr shoh myrgeddin vees y ven ta faagail e sheshey, as cur lh’ee sluight joarree ’syn eiraght.

23 For first, she hath disobeyed the law of the most High; and secondly, she hath trespassed against her own husband; and thirdly, she hath played the whore in adultery, and brought children by another man.

24 Bee ish er ny choyrt lh’ee magh fenish y whaiyl, as bee briaght jeant jeh e cloan.

3 I came out of the mouth of the most High, and covered the earth as a cloud.

|
4 I dwelt in high places, and my throne is in a cloudy pillar.

5 I alone compassed the circuit of heaven, and walked in the bottom of the deep.

6 In the waves of the sea and in all the earth, and in every people and nation, I got a possession.

7 Mâroo shoh ooilley hir mee son fea, as marish quoi jeu shoh goym seose my ynnyd-vaghee?

8 So the Creator of all things gave me a commandment, and he that made me caused my tabernacle to rest, and said, Let thy dwelling be in Jacob, and thine inheritance in Israel.
|
|
9 Ren eh my chroo er-dy-rieau, roish y theihll, as cha jeanym dy bragh failleil.

9 He created me from the beginning before the world, and I shall never fail.

10 In the holy tabernacle I served before him; and so was I established in Sion.

|
11 Likewise in the beloved city he gave me rest, and in Jerusalem was my power.

12 As ghow mee fraue ayns pobble onnoroil, eer ayns cronney eiraght y Chiarn.
|
12 And I took root in an honourable people, even in the portion of the Lord's inheritance.
|
|
13 Ren mee gaase seose myr cedar ayns Libanus, as myr billey-cypress er sleityn Hermon.
|
13 I was exalted like a cedar in Libanus, and as a cypress tree upon the mountains of Hermon.
|
|
14 Ren mee bishaghey myr billey-palm ayns En-gaddi, as myr drine-rose ayns Jericho; as myr billey-olive messoil ayns magher aalin, as daase mee myr billey-plane rish oirr yn ushtey.

14 I was exalted like a palm tree in En-gaddi, and as a rose plant in Jericho, as a fair olive tree in a pleasant field, and grew up as a plane tree by the water.
|
|
15 Hug mee soar millish myr cinnamon, as aspalathus, as yn myrrh share, as galbanum, as onyx, as storax millish, as myr bree yn frankincense ’sy chabbane-agglish.
|
15 I gave a sweet smell like cinnamon and aspalathus, and I yielded a pleasant odour like the best myrrh, as galbanum, and onyx, and sweet storax, and as the fume of frankincense in the tabernacle.
|
|
16 Myr y billey-turpentine heeyn mee magh my vanglaneyn, as ta my vanganyn banganyn onnoroil, as graysoil.

16 As the turpentine tree I stretched out my branches, and my branches are the branches of honour and grace.
|
|
17 Myr y billey-feeyney hug mee magh soar millish, as ta my vlaa gymmyrkey yn mess dy ooashley as berchys.

26 He maketh the understanding to abound like Euphrates, and as Jordan in the time of the harvest.

29 For her thoughts are more than the sea, and her counsels profounder than the great deep.

30 I also came out as a brook from a river, and as a conduit into a garden.

1 In three things I was beautified, and stood up beautiful both before God and men: the unity of brethren, the love of neighbours, a man and a wife that agree together.
|

2 Ta three keintyn dy leih, as feoh ec my annym orroo: Dooinney boght as eh moyrnagh, dooinney berchagh ta ny vreagerey, as shenn vaarderagh, ta coayl e chooinaghtyn er.

2 Three sorts of men my soul hateth, and I am greatly offended at their life: a poor man that is proud, a rich man that is a liar, and an old adulterer that doateth.
|
|
3 Mannagh vel oo er ve frioosagh ayns dty aegid, cha vooar vees ayd ayns dty henn laghyn.

5 O how comely is the wisdom of old men, and understanding and counsel to men of honour.

6 Much experience is the crown of old men, and the fear of God is their glory.

7 There be nine things which I have judged in mine heart to be happy, and the tenth I will utter with my tongue: A man that hath joy of his children; and he that liveth to see the fall of his enemy:
|
|
8 S’maynrey yn dooinney ta cummal marish ben heshey lowal, as nagh vel er ve foiljagh lesh e hengey, ny fo ammys dooinney smessey na eh hene.

8 Well is him that dwelleth with a wife of understanding, and that hath not slipped with his tongue, and that hath not served a man more unworthy than himself:
|

9 S’maynrey eshyn ta er gheddyn carrey dooie, as t’er choyrt coyrle vie dauesyn ver clashtyn da.

|

11 Agh ta graih y Chiarn erskyn dy chooilley nhee son soilshey da’n annym; quoi ta dy ve soylit rishyn ta shickyr ayn?

|
|
12 Ta aggle y Chiarn leeideil gys e ghraih, as she toshiaght credjue dy lhiantyn huggey.

12 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of his love: and faith is the beginning of cleaving unto him.
|
|
13 Cur orrym seaghyn erbee agh seaghney cree, as olkys erbee, agh olkys y drogh-ven:

13 Give me any plague, but the plague of the heart: and any wickedness, but the wickedness of a woman:

14 As tranlaase erbee, agh tranlaase veih my noidyn.[30]

14 And any affliction, but the affliction from them that hate me: and any revenge, but the revenge of enemies.

15 There is no head above the head of a serpent; and there is no wrath above the wrath of an enemy.
|

16 Bare lhiam my chummal ve marish lion as dragon, na dy reayll thie marish drogh-ven.

16 I had rather dwell with a lion and a dragon, than to keep house with a wicked woman.
|
|
17 Ta kione-lajerys ben coyrt grooid ’syn eddin eck, as neeal groymagh myr aanrit-sack.

18 Hig fou jeh shoh gys e dooinney, tra t’eh soie marish e naboonyn, as ver eh osnaghyn tromey er e chree.

19 Cha vel treihys erbee dy ve soylit rish olkys drogh-ven; lhig da cronney yn drogh-yantagh ve nauyn jee.

20 Myr ta’n ughtagh gennee lhiebeidjagh da’n chenndeeaght, myr shen ta ben anveagh da dooinney fea-fastagh.

21 Ny lhig da aalid ben tayrn shaghrynys ort, as ny shir ee son saynt foalley.

21 Stumble not at the beauty of a woman, and desire her not for pleasure.

22 A woman, if she maintain her husband, is full of anger, impudence, and much reproach.

23 A wicked woman abateth the courage, maketh an heavy countenance and a wounded heart: a woman that will not comfort her husband in distress maketh weak hands and feeble knees.
|
|
24 She ben va moir yn olk: ish hayrn y baase orrin ooilley.
|
24 Of the woman came the beginning of sin, and through her we all die.

25 Give the water no passage; neither a wicked woman liberty to gad abroad.

26 If she go not as thou wouldest have her, cut her off from thy flesh, and give her a bill of divorce, and let her go.

5 There be three things that mine heart feareth; and for the fourth I was sore afraid: the slander of a city, the gathering together of an unruly multitude, and a false accusation: all these are worse than death.
|

6 Agh treihys er treihys, ben gheadagh, as gah yn chengey gyn-tort.

12 She will open her mouth, as a thirsty traveller when he hath found a fountain, and drink of every water near her: by every hedge will she sit down, and open her quiver against every arrow.
|
|
13 Agh ta ben ghraysoil boggey da e sheshey: ta e ymmyrkey feudagh myr smuir ayns e chraueyn.
|
13 The grace of a wife delighteth her husband, and her discretion will fatten his bones.
|
|
14 Ta ben sheeoil as dooie gioot veih yn Chiarn: as s’mooar sheeagh yn aigney bwaagh-beasagh!

14 A silent and loving woman is a gift of the Lord; and there is nothing so much worth as a mind well instructed.
|
|
15 Ta ben feudagh as beasagh ny ard-vannaght, as ta’n aigney sheelt ecksh erskyn dy chooilley leagh.

23 A wicked woman is given as a portion to a wicked man: but a godly woman is given to him that feareth the Lord.
|
|
24 Ver drogh-ven nearey cooyl e coshey: agh ver ben vie ammys da e sheshey.

27 Bee briaght foddey as gerrit jeant son postyr dy ven veeallagh, ee hene ver scaalhean er nyn noidyn.

27 A loud crying woman and a scold shall be sought out to drive away the enemies.

|
28 There be two things that grieve my heart; and the third maketh me angry: a man of war that suffereth poverty; and men of understanding that are not set by; and one that returneth from righteousness to sin; the Lord prepareth such an one for the sword.
|
|
29 S’coan oddys marchan ve seyr veih aggair, ny pedlar veih dellal volteyragh.

15 The strife of the proud is bloodshedding, and their revilings are grievous to the ear.

17 Love thy friend, and be faithful unto him: but if thou betrayest his secrets, follow no more after him.
|
|
18 Son myr dooinney ta er stroie e noid; eer myrgeddin t’ou er choayl aigney-mie dty naboo.

18 For as a man hath destroyed his enemy; so hast thou lost the love of thy neighbor.

22 Eshyn ta meekey lesh e hooillyn, t’eh shêgin er yn olk: as ver ooilley e ainjyssee cooyl rish.

27 He that worketh mischief, it shall fall upon him, and he shall not know whence it cometh.

28 Mockery and reproach are from the proud; but vengeance, as a lion, shall lie in wait for them.

10 As the matter of the fire is, so it burneth: and as a man's strength is, so is his wrath; and according to his riches his anger riseth; and the stronger they are which contend, the more they will be inflamed.

5 Till he hath received, he will kiss a man's hand; and for his neighbour's money he will speak submissly: but when he should repay, he will prolong the time, and return words of grief, and complain of the time.

6 If he prevail, he shall hardly receive the half, and he will count as if he had found it: if not, he hath deprived him of his money, and he hath gotten him an enemy without cause: he payeth him with cursings and railings; and for honour he will pay him disgrace.

27 Wine is as good as life to a man, if it be drunk moderately: what life is then to a man that is without wine? for it was made to make men glad.
|
|
28 Ta jough, my te iu’t dy sheelt, as ayns traa feme, coyrt gennallys ’sy chree, as aash gys yn aigney.

28 Wine measurably drunk and in season bringeth gladness of the heart, and cheerfulness of the mind:

29 Agh ta neu-heeltys ayns jough tayrn marish sherriuid-aigney, beealeraght as fuilliaghtee.

29 But wine drunken with excess maketh bitterness of the mind, with brawling and quarrelling.
|

30 Ta meshtallys doostey eulys yn ommydan dy yannoo olk: te leodaghey ny niart, as jannoo lhottyn.

30 Drunkenness increaseth the rage of a fool till he offend: it diminisheth strength, and maketh wounds.

31 Ny jean goltooan dty naboo ec y jough, as ny soie beg jeh ayns e yennallys: ny cur glare brasnee da, as ny chion y cappan er.

31 Rebuke not thy neighbour at the wine, and despise him not in his mirth: give him no despiteful words, and press not upon him with urging him to drink.

22 He that taketh away his neighbour's living slayeth him; and he that defraudeth the labourer of his hire is a bloodshedder.

23 Tra ta fer troggal, as fer elley lhieggal, cre ta nyn gosney, agh deinys as tooilleil?

23 When one buildeth, and another pulleth down, what profit have they then but labour?

|
26 So is it with a man that fasteth for his sins, and goeth again, and doeth the same: who will hear his prayer? or what doth his humbling profit him?

12 Do not think to corrupt with gifts; for such he will not receive: and trust not to unrighteous sacrifices; for the Lord is judge, and with him is no respect of persons.
|

13 Cha jean eh soiaghey beg jeh persoon erbee noi dooinney boght; agh ver eh clashtyn da’n accan ocsyn ta tranlaasit.

14 For they shall also pray unto the Lord, that he would prosper that, which they give for ease and remedy to prolong life.

15 Eshyn ta jeh e yoïn jannoo peccah noi e er-croo, lhig da tuittym fo laue yn er-lhee.

15 He that sinneth before his Maker, let him fall into the hand of the physician.

|
16 My son, let tears fall down over the dead, and begin to lament, as if thou hadst suffered great harm thyself; and then cover his body according to the custom, and neglect not his burial.
|
|
17 Jean keayney sharroo, as trimshey trome, as dobberan er e hon, myr s’feeu da, as shen son laa ny jees, nagh bee oo er dty oltooaney: as eisht jean oo hene y gherjaghey son dty hrimshey.
|
17 Weep bitterly, and make great moan, and use lamentation, as he is worthy, and that a day or two, lest thou be evil spoken of: and then comfort thyself for thy heaviness.
|
|
18 Son veih dobberan ta baase cheet, as ta dobberan y chree brishey slaynt.
|
18 For of heaviness cometh death, and the heaviness of the heart breaketh strength.
|
|
19 Ayns lheid y seaghyn ta trimshey tannaghtyn: as s’treih yn vea ta lesh sproght yn chree.
|
19 In affliction also sorrow remaineth: and the life of the poor is the curse of the heart.
|
|
20 Ny gow trimshey gys dty chree: eiyr voïd eh, as cooinee er dty yerrey hene.

20 Take no heaviness to heart: drive it away, and member the last end.
|
|
21 Ny jean shen y yarrood, son cha jig adsyn reesht: cha jean oo foays erbee dasyn, agh skielley dhyt hene.

21 Forget it not, for there is no turning again: thou shalt not do him good, but hurt thyself.
|
|
22 Cooinee er y vriwnys aym’s: son bee yn vriwnys ayd’s y lhied cheddin: Jea er my hon’s, as jiu er dty hon’s.

22 Remember my judgment: for thine also shall be so; yesterday for me, and to day for thee.
|
|
23 Tra ta'n marroo ec fea, lhig da’n imraa jeh ve ec fea mârish, as bee er dty gherjaghey er e hon, tra ta’n annym er n’immeeaght.

23 When the dead is at rest, let his remembrance rest; and be comforted for him, when his Spirit is departed from him.
|
|
24 Ta creenaght yn dooinney ynsit cheet liorish caa as traa, as hig eshyn dy ve creeney nagh vel seiyt ayns boiraghyn seihltagh.

24 The wisdom of a learned man cometh by opportunity of leisure: and he that hath little business shall become wise.

25 Kys yiow eshyn mooarane ynsagh ta cummal y cheeagh, as ta boggyssagh jeh’n sleean; ta gimman y chesheraght, ta cur-rish obbyr vagheragh, as e haggloo mysh ny dew?

25 How can he get wisdom that holdeth the plough, and that glorieth in the goad, that driveth oxen, and is occupied in their labours, and whose talk is of bullocks?
|
|
26 Ta e aigney ’sy traaue, as e imnea son foddyr da’n maase.

26 He giveth his mind to make furrows; and is diligent to give the kine fodder.

27 Myrgeddin dy chooilley seiyr as mainshtyr-obbree, ta laboraght oie as laa, as adsyn ta giarey as grainney sealyn, as ta jeidjagh dy yannoo ymmodee sorchyn, as baarail nyn schleï dy chummey jallooyn, as soie dy anmagh, dy chur kione er nyn obbyr.
|
27 So every carpenter and workmaster, that laboureth night and day: and they that cut and grave seals, and are diligent to make great variety, and give themselves to counterfeit imagery, and watch to finish a work:
|
|
28 Ta’n gaaue myrgeddin soie gys yn ingan, as e hooill er yn obbyr yiarn, ta bree yn aile shymley ersooyl e eill, as t’eh strepey rish chiass y choirrey, ta feiyr yn hammar as yn ingan dy kinjagh ayns e chleayshyn, as e hooill dy geyre soit er cummey yn obbyr ta fo e laue; t’eh soiaghey e aigney dy chur kione er e obbyr, as t’eh aggindagh dy yannoo e obbyr glen sollys.
|
28 The smith also sitting by the anvil, and considering the iron work, the vapour of the fire wasteth his flesh, and he fighteth with the heat of the furnace: the noise of the hammer and the anvil is ever in his ears, and his eyes look still upon the pattern of the thing that he maketh; he setteth his mind to finish his work, and watcheth to polish it perfectly:
|
|
29 Myrgeddin ta’n pasheyder ny hoie ec e obbyr, as chyndaa yn whueeyl mygeayrt lesh e chassyn, eh ta dy jeidjagh soie kinjagh ec e obbyr, as earroo ooilley e obbyr ayns sorchyn:

29 So doth the potter sitting at his work, and turning the wheel about with his feet, who is alway carefully set at his work, and maketh all his work by number;
|
|
30 T’eh cummey yn chray lesh e roih, as croymmey sheese e niart gys y thalloo; t’eh kiaralagh dy stainney harrish eh, as t’eh imneagh dy ghlenney yn coirrey.
|
30 He fashioneth the clay with his arm, and boweth down his strength before his feet; he applieth himself to lead it over; and he is diligent to make clean the furnace:
|
|
31 T’ad shoh ooilley treishteil gys nyn laueyn, as ta dagh unnane schleïoil ayns e obbyr.
|
31 All these trust to their hands: and every one is wise in his work.
|
|
32 Fegooish lheid ny cummaltee cha vod ard-valley ve er ny choamrey, ny sleih cummal raad sailliu, ayns cheer ny balley.

32 Without these cannot a city be inhabited: and they shall not dwell where they will, nor go up and down:
|

33 Cha nhegin jeeaghyn son e lheid ayns sheshaght ny fir-choyrlee, ny soie ayns ard-oik mastey’n pobble: cha jean ad soie er stoyl y vriwnys, ny toiggal ’ve oc ayns cooishyn quaallagh: cha nee adsyn nee fockley magh cairys as briwnys, ny cur bun er raaghyn-dorraghey.
|
33 They shall not be sought for in publick counsel, nor sit high in the congregation: they shall not sit on the judges' seat, nor understand the sentence of judgment: they cannot declare justice and judgment; and they shall not be found where parables are spoken.
|
|
34 Agh nee ad stayd y theihll y choamrey, as ta ooilley nyn yeearree ayns nyn obbyr-cheirdey.
|
34 But they will maintain the state of the world, and all their desire is in the work of their craft.

1 But he that giveth his mind to the law of the most High, and is occupied in the meditation thereof, will seek out the wisdom of all the ancient, and be occupied in prophecies.
|

2 Freillee eh raaghyn deiney ooasle, as raad ta coraaghyn-dorraghey dowiney, shen y raad vees eshyn ry-gheddyn.

3 Shirree eh magh folliaghtyn raaghyn-creeney, as bee eh ullee ayns coraaghyn-dorraghey.

5 He will give his heart to resort early to the Lord that made him, and will pray before the most High, and will open his mouth in prayer, and make supplication for his sins.
|
|
6 Tra saillish yn Chiarn smoo syrjey, bee eh er ny lhieeney lesh yn spyrryd dy hushtey; nee eh raaghyn-creeney y ockley magh, as ver eh booise da’n Chiarn ayns e phadjer.

|
|
7 Nee eh leeideil e choyrle, as e hushtey, as er e olliaghtyn nee eh dy dowin smooinaghtyn.

9 Many shall commend his understanding; and so long as the world endureth, it shall not be blotted out; his memorial shall not depart away, and his name shall live from generation to generation.
|
|
10 Nee ashoonyn soilshaghey magh e chreenaght, as nee yn pobble fockley magh e voylley.

10 Nations shall shew forth his wisdom, and the congregation shall declare his praise.

17 And none may say, What is this? wherefore is that? for at time convenient they shall all be sought out: at his commandment the waters stood as an heap, and at the words of his mouth the receptacles of waters.
|
|
18 Ec y sarey echeysyn t’er ny yannoo cre-erbee saillish, as cha vod unnane erbee lhiettal eh, tra saillish sauail.

27 Ta ooilley ny reddyn shoh son foays da’n vooinjer chrauee: myrgeddin da peccee t’ad er ny hyndaa gys olk.

28 There be spirits that are created for vengeance, which in their fury lay on sore strokes; in the time of destruction they pour out their force, and appease the wrath of him that made them.
|
|
29 Aile, as sniaghtey-garroo, as genney, as baase, v'ad shoh ooilley kiarit son kerraghey.

35 As shen-y-fa, cur-jee moylley da’n Chiarn lesh nyn slane cree as goo, as bannee-jee ennym y Chiarn.

19 Ta cloan, as dy hroggal ard-valley, freayll ennym dooinney ayns cooinaghtyn: agh ta ben dyn loght ny share na ad ny-neesht.

|
26 Riches and strength lift up the heart: but the fear of the Lord is above them both: there is no want in the fear of the Lord, and it needeth not to seek help.
|
|
27 Ta aggle y Chiarn garey messoil, dy choadey eh erskyn dy chooilley ghloyr.
|
27 The fear of the Lord is a fruitful garden, and covereth him above all glory.

29 The life of him that dependeth on another man's table is not to be counted for a life; for he polluteth himself with other men's meat: but a wise man well nurtured will beware thereof.
|
|
30 Ta jeirk millish ayns beeal yn er gyn-nearey: agh ayns e volg nee aile lostey.

2 O death, acceptable is thy sentence unto the needy, and unto him whose strength faileth, that is now in the last age, and is vexed with all things, and to him that despaireth, and hath lost patience!
|
|
3 Ny ghow aggle roish briwnys y vaaish, cooinee orroosyn t’er ve royd, as hig dty yeï, son shoh briwnys y Chiarn er dy chooilley chretoor.

3 Fear not the sentence of death, remember them that have been before thee, and that come after; for this is the sentence of the Lord over all flesh.

4 And why art thou against the pleasure of the most High? there is no inquisition in the grave, whether thou have lived ten, or an hundred, or a thousand years.
|
|
5 Ta cloan ny drogh-yantee cloan dwoaiagh, as t’ad taaghey sheshaght ny mee-chrauee.

5 The children of sinners are abominable children, and they that are conversant in the dwelling of the ungodly.
|
|
6 Nee eiraght cloan ny drogh-yantee goll naardey, as bee scammylt foddey beayn er nyn sluight.

6 The inheritance of sinners' children shall perish, and their posterity shall have a perpetual reproach.
|

7 Nee’n chloan plaiynt er ayr mee-chrauee, er-yn-oyr dy bee ad er ny oltooan kyndagh rishyn.

7 The children will complain of an ungodly father, because they shall be reproached for his sake.

8 Woe be unto you, ungodly men, which have forsaken the law of the most high God! for if ye increase, it shall be to your destruction:
|
|
9 As my vees shiu er nyn ruggey, bee shiu er ny ruggey gys mollaght: as tra yiow shiu baase, mollaght vees nyn gronney.

9 And if ye be born, ye shall be born to a curse: and if ye die, a curse shall be your portion.
|

10 Nee ooilley ny ta jeh’n ooir chyndaa gys ooir reesht: myrgeddin nee ny mee-chrauee goll veih mollaght gys toyrt-mow.

11 The mourning of men is about their bodies: but an ill name of sinners shall be blotted out.

|

15 Ta’n dooinney ta keiltyn e ommijys, ny s’keeayllagh na eshyn ta keiltyn e chreenaght.

|

17 Gow nearey jeh maarderys er coontey dty ayr as dty voir; as jeh breg fenish prince as dooinney pooaral:

18 Jeh loght fenish briw as fer-reill: jeh mee-chairys fenish quaiyl as theay: jeh dellal volteyragh fenish dty cho-heshey as dty charrey:

19 As jeh maarlys raad t’ou cummal, as jeh brishey cairys, noi ynrickys Yee as e chonaant; as dy ve myr brout ec y voayrd; as jeh molteyrys ayns creck as kionnagh:

19 And of theft in regard of the place where thou sojournest, and in regard of the truth of God and his covenant; and to lean with thine elbow upon the meat; and of scorning to give and take;
|
|
20 As jeh dy ve tostagh roosyn ta bannaghey dhyt; as dy yeeaghyn er streebagh:

|
|
23 As nagh jig oo harrish ny cooyl-chassey shen ny t’ou er chlashtyn; as nagh jean oo folliaghtyn y vrah.

23 Or of iterating and speaking again that which thou hast heard; and of revealing of secrets.

24 So shalt thou be truly shamefaced and find favour before all men.

|

6 Te mie dy ve cummyr raad ta drogh-ven, as dy yeigh seose raad ta ymmodee laueyn mygeayrt.

7 Shirveish magh dy chooilley nhee ayns coontey as towse, as scrieu sheese ooilley ny t’ou cur magh, ny goaill stiagh.

9 The father waketh for the daughter, when no man knoweth; and the care for her taketh away sleep: when she is young, lest she pass away the flower of her age; and being married, lest she should be hated:
|

10 Ayns traa e moidynys, er-aggle dy voghe ee scammylt, as ee dy ve torragh ayns thie e ayrey: as tra ta dooinney eck, er-aggle dy jean ee gymmyrkey ee hene dy olk; as erreish j’ee ve poost, dy beagh ee gennish.

10 In her virginity, lest she should be defiled and gotten with child in her father's house; and having an husband, lest she should misbehave herself; and when she is married, lest she should be barren.
|

11 Freill arrey gyere er inneen gyn-nearey, er-aggle dy der ee ort dy ve craid da dty noidyn, as an-ghoo ’syn ard-valley, as oltooan mastey’n pobble, as dy bee oo er dty naaragh fud y theay.

11 Keep a sure watch over a shameless daughter, lest she make thee a laughingstock to thine enemies, and a byword in the city, and a reproach among the people, and make thee ashamed before the multitude.
|
|
12 Ny jean soiagh jeh aalid dy chooilley unnane, as ny jean sheshaght rish drogh vraane.

12 Behold not every body's beauty, and sit not in the midst of women.

18 He seeketh out the deep, and the heart, and considereth their crafty devices: for the Lord knoweth all that may be known, and he beholdeth the signs of the world.
|

19 T’eh soilshaghey ny reddyn t’er n’gholl shaghey, as ta ry-heet, as cur briaght er kesmadyn nheeghyn follit.

21 He hath garnished the excellent works of his wisdom, and he is from everlasting to everlasting: unto him may nothing be added, neither can he be diminished, and he hath no need of any counsellor.
|

22 O cre wheesh dy v’er ny yeearree ta ooilley e obbraghyn! as shen foddee dooinney fakin eer ayns smayl.

2 Yn ghrian tra te cheet rish, soilshaghey ec e irree greïe yindyssagh, obbyr yn er smoo syrjey.

2 The sun when it appeareth, declaring at his rising a marvellous instrument, the work of the most High:
|
|
3 Mysh y vunlaa ta’n cheer sponkit fo, as quoi oddys surranse yn chiass loshtee echey?

3 At noon it parcheth the country, and who can abide the burning heat thereof?

4 A man blowing a furnace is in works of heat, but the sun burneth the mountains three times more; breathing out fiery vapours, and sending forth bright beams, it dimmeth the eyes.
|
|
5 S’mooar ta’n Chiarn ren croo eh, as ec e harey te goll dy kinjagh.

5 Great is the Lord that made it; and at his commandment runneth hastily.

6 Ren eh yn eayst myrgeddin dy hirveish ayns e imbagh, dy hoilshaghey ny earishyn, as son cowrey jeh’n theihll.

|
|
7 Veih’n eayst ta cowrey ny feaillaghyn, yn soilshey eck ta goll ny veggan as ny veggan veih’n vullagh.

8 Ta’n vee er ny enmys urree, bishaghey dy yindyssagh ayns e caghlaa, leeideilagh armeeyn yn yrjid, soilshean ayns aer niau;

9 Aalid niau, gloyr ny rollageyn, seihll dy hoilshey ayns ynnydyn syrjey yn Chiarn.

9 The beauty of heaven, the glory of the stars, an ornament giving light in the highest places of the Lord.

10 Ec sarey yn er casherick nee ad shassoo ayns nyn goorse, as gyn dy bragh gannooinaghey er nyn arrey.

12 Te combaasal yn aer mygeayrt lesh bow gloyroil, as ta laueyn yn er smoo syrjey er lhoobey eh.

12 It compasseth the heaven about with a glorious circle, and the hands of the most High have bended it.
|
|
13 Liorish e harey t’eh coyrt er y fliaghey dy huittym dy trome, as dy tappee lhiggey magh tendreilyn e vriwnys.

13 By his commandment he maketh the snow to fall aplace, and sendeth swiftly the lightnings of his judgment.
|
|
14 Liorish shoh ta ny tashtaghyn er ny osley, as ta ny bodjallyn getlagh magh myr eeanlee.

14 Through this the treasures are opened: and clouds fly forth as fowls.
|
|
15 Liorish e ard phooar t’eh shickyraghey ny bodjallyn, as ta ny claghyn-sniaghtee er ny vrishey myn.

16 Kiongoyrt rishyn ta ny sleityn er-creau, as ec e aigney ta’n gheay-jiass sheidey.

|
17 The noise of the thunder maketh the earth to tremble: so doth the northern storm and the whirlwind: as birds flying he scattereth the snow, and the falling down thereof is as the lighting of grasshoppers:
|
|
18 Ta’n sooill goaill yindys jeh aalid yn yillid echey, as ta’n cree ayns atchim myr te ceau.

18 The eye marvelleth at the beauty of the whiteness thereof, and the heart is astonished at the raining of it.

19 Yn lheeah-rio neesht myr sollan t’eh deayrtey er y thalloo, as tra te riojit, t’eh lhie er baare ny stakyn birragh.

19 The hoarfrost also as salt he poureth on the earth, and being congealed, it lieth on the top of sharp stakes.

20 Tra ta’n gheay sheidey feayr veih yn twoaie, ta’n ushtey er ny chreoghey ayns rio, te tannaghtyn er dy chooilley loghan ushtey, as coodaghey ny ushtaghyn mooarey myr lesh eilley-broghil.
|
20 When the cold north wind bloweth, and the water is congealed into ice, it abideth upon every gathering together of water, and clotheth the water as with a breastplate.
|
|
21 Te cur mow ny sleityn, as lostey yn aasagh, as stroie yn faiyr myr aile.
|
21 It devoureth the mountains, and burneth the wilderness, and consumeth the grass as fire.
|
|
22 Saase leah son shoh ooilley kay ta cheet dy gerrit; ta druight, cheet lurg chiass, dy ooraghey.

22 A present remedy of all is a mist coming speedily, a dew coming after heat refresheth.

23 Liorish e ghoo t’eh kiunaghey yn diunid, as soiaghey ellanyn ayn.

27 Foddee mayd loayrt lane, as ny-yeih cheet giare; shen-y-fa, ayns fockle, Eshyn ooilley.

28 Kys oddys mayd ard-voylley feeu ’choyrt da? son t’eh ard erskyn ooilley e obbraghyn.

28 How shall we be able to magnify him? for he is great above all his works.

29 Ta’n Chiarn atchimagh as feer ard, as s’yindyssagh ta e phooar!

30 When ye glorify the Lord, exalt him as much as ye can; for even yet will he far exceed: and when ye exalt him, put forth all your strength, and be not weary; for ye can never go far enough.
|
|
31 Quoi t’er n’akin eh, dy voddagh eh ginsh dooin? as quoi oddys ard-voylley corrym y choyrt da?

17 Noah was found perfect and righteous; in the time of wrath he was taken in exchange for the world; therefore was he left as a remnant unto the earth, when the flood came.
|

21 Therefore he assured him by an oath, that he would bless the nations in his seed, and that he would multiply him as the dust of the earth, and exalt his seed as the stars, and cause them to inherit from sea to sea, and from the river unto the utmost part of the land.

15 Moses consecrated him, and anointed him with holy oil: this was appointed unto him by an everlasting covenant, and to his seed, so long as the heavens should remain, that they should minister unto him, and execute the office of the priesthood, and bless the people in his name.

|
|
21 Son d’ee ad jeh ourallyn y Chiarn, hug eh dasyn as da e luight.

21 For they eat of the sacrifices of the Lord, which he gave unto him and his seed.

22 Howbeit in the land of the people he had no inheritance, neither had he any portion among the people: for the Lord himself is his portion and inheritance.

23 The third in glory is Phinees the son of Eleazar, because he had zeal in the fear of the Lord, and stood up with good courage of heart: when the people were turned back, and made reconciliation for Israel.

1 Jesus the son [of] Nave was valiant in the wars, and was the successor of Moses in prophecies, who according to his name was made great for the saving of the elect of God, and taking vengeance of the enemies that rose up against them, that he might set Israel in their inheritance.

6 And with hailstones of mighty power he made the battle to fall violently upon the nations, and in the descent of Beth-horon he destroyed them that resisted, that the nations might know all their strength, because he fought in the sight of the Lord, and he followed the Mighty One.

10 Dy voddagh ooilley cloan Israel cur my-ner, dy vel eh mie dy eiyrt da’n Chiarn.

22 But the Lord will never leave off his mercy, neither shall any of his works perish, neither will he abolish the posterity of his elect, and the seed of him that loveth him he will not take away: wherefore he gave a remnant unto Jacob, and out of him a root unto David.

23 Thus rested Solomon with his fathers, and of his seed he left behind him Roboam, even the foolishness of the people, and one that had no understanding, who turned away the people through his counsel. There was also Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin, and shewed Ephraim the way of sin:

25 For they sought out all wickedness, till the vengeance came upon them.

1 Eisht hass seose Elias yn phadeyr myr aile, as ren e ghoo lossey myr lamp.
|
1 Then stood up Elias the prophet as fire, and his word burned like a lamp.
|
|
2 Hug eh lesh gortey hrome orroo, as liorish e ghraih jeean ren eh yn earroo oc y leodaghey.
|
2 He brought a sore famine upon them, and by his zeal he diminished their number.
|
|
3 Liorish goo yn Chiarn yeigh eh seose ny niaughyn, as myrgeddin hug eh lesh neose aile three keayrtyn.
|
3 By the word of the Lord he shut up the heaven, and also three times brought down fire.
|
|
4 O Elias, kys v’ou er ny ooashlaghey ayns dty obbraghyn mirrillagh! as casley rhyt’s quoi v’er ny ghloyraghey!
|
4 O Elias, how wast thou honoured in thy wondrous deeds! and who may glory like unto thee!
|
|
5 Uss, ren dooinney marroo y hroggal seose veih’n baase, as e annym veih ynnyd ny merriu, liorish goo yn er smoo syrjey:
|
5 Who didst raise up a dead man from death, and his soul from the place of the dead, by the word of the most High:
|
|
6 Uss, hayrn toyrt-mow er reeaghyn, as hug sheese ard-gheiney veih nyn stuill staydoil.
|
6 Who broughtest kings to destruction, and honorable men from their bed:
|
|
7 Uss, cheayll oghsan y Chiarn ayns Sinai, as y vriwnys dy cherraghey ayns Horeb:
|
7 Who heardest the rebuke of the Lord in Sinai, and in Horeb the judgment of vengeance:
|
|
8 Uss, ren reeaghyn y ooilaghey dy ghoaill cooilleeney, as phadeyryn dy heet ayns oik dty yeï:
|
8 Who annointedst kings to take revenge, and prophets to succeed after him:
|
|
9 Uss, v’er dty ghoaill seose ayns geay-chassee dy aile, as ayns fainagh dy chabbil aileagh.
|
9 Who was taken up in a whirlwind of fire, and in a chariot of fiery horses:
|
|
10 Uss, va er ny oardrail son oghsan ny traaghyn, dy veeinaghey jymmoose briwnys y Chiarn, veih brishey magh ayns eulys, dy hyndaa cree yn ayr lesh y vac, as dy niartaghey tribeyn Yacob.
|
10 Who wast ordained for reproofs in their times, to pacify the wrath of the Lord's judgment, before it brake forth into fury, and to turn the heart of the father unto the son, and to restore the tribes of Jacob.
|
|
11 Bannit t’adsyn honnick oo, as hooar baase ayns dty ghraih, son bee mayd ayns shickyrys bio.
|
11 Blessed are they that saw thee, and slept in love; for we shall surely live.
|
|
12 She Elijah v’er ny choodaghey lesh geay-chassee: as Elisha v’er ny lhieeney lesh y spyrryd echeysyn: ayns earish e vea cha row eh ayns imnea roish prince erbee, chamoo fo ammys da dooinney dy row rieau bio.
|
12 Elias it was, who was covered with a whirlwind: and Eliseus was filled with his spirit: whilst he lived, he was not moved with the presence of any prince, neither could any bring him into subjection.
|
|
13 Cha row nhee ’sy theihll er-e-skyn: as lurg e vaase ren e chorp phadeyrys.
|
13 No word could overcome him; and after his death his body prophesied.
|
|
14 Ren eh yindyssyn ayns e vea, as ec e vaase va e obbraghyn mirrillagh.
|
14 He did wonders in his life, and at his death were his works marvellous.
|
|
15 Son ooilley shoh cha ghow yn pobble arrys, chamoo ren ad scuirr veih nyn beccaghyn, derrey v’ad er nyn spooilley as eebrit ass nyn jeer hene, as er nyn skeayley feaï-ny-cruinney: foast va er-mayrn sluight fardalagh, as fer-reill ayns thie Ghavid:
|
15 For all this the people repented not, neither departed they from their sins, till they were spoiled and carried out of their land, and were scattered through all the earth: yet there remained a small people, and a ruler in the house of David:
|
|
16 Ren paart jeu Jee y wooiys, as paart elley hie er nyn doshiaght ayns peccaghyn.
|
16 Of whom some did that which was pleasing to God, and some multiplied sins.
|
|
17 Ren Hezekiah niartaghey e ard-valley, as hug eh lesh ushtey stiagh ’sy vean echey: chleiy eh yn chreg chreoi lesh yiarn, as ren eh chibbraghyn ushtey.
|
17 Ezekias fortified his city, and brought in water into the midst thereof: he digged the hard rock with iron, and made wells for waters.
|
|
18 ’Sy lhing echeysyn haink Sennacherib seose, as hug eh Rabshakeh er chaghteraght, as hrog eh seose e laue noi Sion, as ren eh boggyssagh dy mooaralagh.
|
18 In his time Sennacherib came up, and sent Rabsaces, and lifted up his hand against Sion, and boasted proudly.
|
|
19 Eisht va ny creeaghyn as ny laueyn oc er creau, as eisht v’ad ayns pian myr mraane er troailt.
|
19 Then trembled their hearts and hands, and they were in pain, as women in travail.
|
|
20 Agh deïe ad er y Chiarn ta myghinagh, as heeyn ad magh nyn laueyn huggey: as chelleeragh cheayll yn er-casherick ad ass niau, as livrey eh ad liorish shirveish Isaiah.
|
20 But they called upon the Lord which is merciful, and stretched out their hands toward him: and immediately the Holy One heard them out of heaven, and delivered them by the ministry of Esay.
|
|
21 Woaill eh sheshaght-chaggee ny Assyrianee, as ren e ainle ad y stroie.
|
21 He smote the host of the Assyrians, and his angel destroyed them.
|
|
22 Son va Hezekiah er n’yannoo shen ny va taitnyssagh gys y Chiarn, as v’eh niartal ayns raaidyn Ghavid e ayr, myr va Isaiah, va mooar as firrinagh ayns e ashlish, er harey da.
|
22 For Ezekias had done the thing that pleased the Lord, and was strong in the ways of David his father, as Esay the prophet, who was great and faithful in his vision, had commanded him.
|
|
23 Rish y lhing echeysyn hie yn ghrian back, as yiall eh bea sodjey da’n ree.
|
23 In his time the sun went backward, and he lengthened the king's life.
|
|
24 Honnick eh liorish spyrryd flaunyssagh cre harragh gy-kione ec y jerrey, as ren eh adsyn y gherjaghey va dobberan ayns Sion.
|
24 He saw by an excellent spirit what should come to pass at the last, and he comforted them that mourned in Sion.
|
|
25 Hoilshee eh cre harragh gy-kione ayns earishyn ry-heet, as reddyn follit roish myr haghyr ad.
|
25 He shewed what should come to pass for ever, and secret things or ever they came.

|
1 Ta cooinnaghtyn Yosiah myr soar millish yn perfume ta jeant liorish schleï yn photecaree: te millish myr mill ayns dagh beeal, as myr kiaull villish ec gien-feeyney.
|
1 The remembrance of Josias is like the composition of the perfume that is made by the art of the apothecary: it is sweet as honey in all mouths, and as musick at a banquet of wine.
|
|
2 Ren eh eh-hene y ymmyrkey dy cairagh ec chyndaa yn phobble, as ghow eh ersooyl yn eajeeys dy vee-chraueeaght.
|
2 He behaved himself uprightly in the conversion of the people, and took away the abominations of iniquity.
|
|
3 Va e chree soit jeeragh er y Chiarn, as ayns traa ny mee-chrauee ren eh ooashley Yee y hoiaghey seose.
|
3 He directed his heart unto the Lord, and in the time of the ungodly he established the worship of God.
|
|
4 Er-lhimmey jeh David, as Hezekiah, as Josiah, va ooilley foiljagh: son hreig ad leigh yn er smoo syrjey, ren eer reeaghyn Yuda failleil.
|
4 All, except David and Ezekias and Josias, were defective: for they forsook the law of the most High, even the kings of Juda failed.
|
|
5 Shen-y-fa hug eh yn phooar oc da feallagh elley, as y ghloyr oc da ashoon joarree.
|
5 Therefore he gave their power unto others, and their glory to a strange nation.
|
|
6 Losht ad ard-valley reiht yn chiamble casherick, as ren ad ny straidyn y yannoo fadaneagh, cordail rish phadeyrys Yeremiah.
|
6 They burnt the chosen city of the sanctuary, and made the streets desolate, according to the prophecy of Jeremias.
|
|
7 Son hug ad drogh-ghellal dasyn va er ny chasherickey ny adeyr ayns breïn e vayrey, dy astyrt, dy heaghney, as dy stroie; as myrgeddin dy hroggal seose, as dy phlantal.
|
7 For they entreated him evil, who nevertheless was a prophet, sanctified in his mother's womb, that he might root out, and afflict, and destroy; and that he might build up also, and plant.
|
|
8 She Ezekiel honnick yn ashlish ghloyroil, va er ny hoilshaghey da er fainagh ny cherubim.
|
8 It was Ezekiel who saw the glorious vision, which was shewed him upon the chariot of the cherubims.
|
|
9 Son ren eh gimraa er ny noidyn fo cowrey yn fliaghey, as hug eh shee dauesyn hie er y raad cair.
|
9 For he made mention of the enemies under the figure of the rain, and directed them that went right.
|
|
10 As jeh’n daa adeyr jeig lhig da’n imraa oc ve bannit, as lhig da ny craueyn oc blaaghey reesht ass yn oaie: son ren ad Jacob y gherjaghey, as ad y livrey liorish treishteil shickyr.

10 And of the twelve prophets let the memorial be blessed, and let their bones flourish again out of their place: for they comforted Jacob, and delivered them by assured hope.
|
|
11 Kys ver mayd yn moylley feeu da Zorobabel? v’eh eer myr fainey er y laue-yesh.

11 How shall we magnify Zorobabel? even he was as a signet on the right hand:
|
|
12 Y lheid cheddin va Joshua mac Yosedec: ren ’sy traa ocsyn yn thie y hroggal, as chiamble casherick y hoiaghey seose gys y Chiarn, va kiarit son gloyr dy bragh farraghtyn.
|
12 So was Jesus the son of Josedec: who in their time builded the house, and set up an holy temple to the Lord, which was prepared for everlasting glory.
|
|
13 As mastey’n chloan reiht va Nehemiah, hooar ennym mooar, ayns dy hrog eh seose dooin ny voallaghyn v’er duittym, as hoie eh seose ny giattyn, as ny boltyn, as hrog eh seose ny toltanyn ain ass-y-noa.

13 And among the elect was Neemias, whose renown is great, who raised up for us the walls that were fallen, and set up the gates and the bars, and raised up our ruins again.
|
|
14 Agh er yn ooir cha row dooinney er ny chroo casley rish Enoch; son v’eh goit seose bio veih’n thalloo.

15 Neither was there a young man born like Joseph, a governor of his brethren, a stay of the people, whose bones were regarded of the Lord.
|

16 Va Shem as Seth ayns ard-ooashley mastey deiney, as myr shen va Adam erskyn dy chooilley nhee bio v’er ny chroo sy teihll.

16 Sem and Seth were in great honour among men, and so was Adam above every living thing in creation.

1 Simon yn ard-saggyrt, mac Onias, ren ayns earish e vea yn thie y choamrey reesht, as niartaghey yn chiamble.
|
1 Simon the high priest, the son of Onias, who in his life repaired the house again, and in his days fortified the temple:
|
|
2 As liorishyn v’er ny hroggal veih’n undin yn yrjid dooble, toor ard yn voalley mysh y chiamble.
|
2 And by him was built from the foundation the double height, the high fortress of the wall about the temple:
|
|
3 ’Sy lhing echeysyn va’n cistern dy ghoaill ushtey, ayns combaase myr faarkey, er ny choodaghey lesh plateyn prashey.
|
3 In his days the cistern to receive water, being in compass as the sea, was covered with plates of brass:
|
|
4 Ghow eh kiarail jeh’n chiamble nagh ragh eh naardey, as niartee eh yn ard-valley noi’n chaggey:
|
4 He took care of the temple that it should not fall, and fortified the city against besieging:
|
|
5 Kys v’eh er ny ooashlaghey ayns mean e phobble, tra haink eh magh ass yn ynnyd casherick!

5 How was he honoured in the midst of the people in his coming out of the sanctuary!

6 V’eh myr rollage y voghrey mastey ny bodjallyn, as myr yn eayst ec y vullagh:
|
6 He was as the morning star in the midst of a cloud, and as the moon at the full:
|
|
7 As myr y ghrian soilshean er chiamble yn er smoo syrjey, as myr y goll-twoaie coyrt soilshey ayns ny bodjallyn sollys:

7 As the sun shining upon the temple of the most High, and as the rainbow giving light in the bright clouds:
|
|
8 As myr blaa roseyn ’syn imbagh cooie, myr lileeyn rish broogh ny hushtaghyn, as myr banglaneyn y villey-frankincense ayns traa yn touree:
|
8 And as the flower of roses in the spring of the year, as lilies by the rivers of waters, and as the branches of the frankincense tree in the time of summer:
|
|
9 Myr aile as incense ayns yn censer, as myr saagh dy airh obbrit soit lesh dy chooilley horch dy chlaghyn costal:
|
9 As fire and incense in the censer, and as a vessel of beaten gold set with all manner of precious stones:
|
|
10 As myr billey-olive aalin coyrt magh e vess, as myr billey-cypress ta sheeyney seose lesh ny bodjallyn.
|
10 And as a fair olive tree budding forth fruit, and as a cypress tree which groweth up to the clouds.

11 Tra hug eh er yn coamrey dy ooasley, as dy row eh er ny choamrey lesh yn yrjid dy ghloyr, tra hie eh seose gys yn altar chasherick, ren eh yn garmad dy chasherickys y yannoo onnoroil.
|
11 When he put on the robe of honour, and was clothed with the perfection of glory, when he went up to the holy altar, he made the garment of holiness honourable.
|
|
12 Tra ghow eh ny ourallyn veih laueyn ny saggyrtyn, hass eh hene liorish chiollagh yn altar, as e vraaraghyn mygeayrt-y-mysh, myr billey aeg cedar ayns Libanus, as myr biljyn-palm chruinnee ad eh mygeayrt.
|
12 When he took the portions out of the priests' hands, he himself stood by the hearth of the altar, compassed about, as a young cedar in Libanus; and as palm trees compassed they him round about.
|
|
13 Myr shen va ooilley mec Aaron ayns nyn ghloyr, as chebballyn y Chiarn ayns nyn laueyn, kiongoyrt rish slane chaglym cloan Israel.
|
13 So were all the sons of Aaron in their glory, and the oblations of the Lord in their hands, before all the congregation of Israel.
|
|
14 As coyrt jerrey er y chirveish ec yn altar, dy hoiaghey magh oural yn Ooilley-niartal smoo syrjey,

14 And finishing the service at the altar, that he might adorn the offering of the most high Almighty,

15 Heeyn eh magh e laue gys y chappan, as gheayrt eh jeh fuill y smeyr-feeyney; heb eh ec cass yn altar, oural dy hoar millish gys y ree smoo syrjey harrish ooilley.
|
15 He stretched out his hand to the cup, and poured of the blood of the grape, he poured out at the foot of the altar a sweetsmelling savour unto the most high King of all.
|
|
16 Eisht dyllee mec Aaron, as heid ad ny trumpetyn argid, as hug ad er feiyr mooar dy v’er ny chlashtyn, son cooinaghtyn roish yn er smoo syrjey.
|
16 Then shouted the sons of Aaron, and sounded the silver trumpets, and made a great noise to be heard, for a remembrance before the most High.
|

17 Eisht ren ooilley yn pobble siyr lesh-y-cheilley, as huitt ad sheese lesh nyn eddinyn gys y thalloo, dy chur ooashley da’n Chiarn Jee Ooilley-niartal, smoo syrjey.

17 Then all the people together hasted, and fell down to the earth upon their faces to worship their Lord God Almighty, the most High.
|
|
18 Ren ny fir-chiaullee myrgeddin goaill arraneyn-moyllee lesh nyn goraaghyn, lesh lane caghlaaghyn shiaull dy yannoo kiaulleeaght villish.

18 The singers also sang praises with their voices, with great variety of sounds was there made sweet melody.
|
|
19 As ghuee yn pobble gys y Chiarn yn er smoo syrjey, liorish padjer ’syn enish echeysyn ta myghinagh, derrey va feailley-casherick y Chiarn ec kione, as v’ad er choyrt jerrey er e hirveish.
|
19 And the people besought the Lord, the most High, by prayer before him that is merciful, till the solemnity of the Lord was ended, and they had finished his service.
|
|
20 Eisht hie eh sheese, as hrog eh seose e laueyn harrish slane chaglym cloan Israel, dy chur bannaght y Chiarn lesh e veillyn, as dy ghoaill boggey ayns e ennym.
|
20 Then he went down, and lifted up his hands over the whole congregation of the children of Israel, to give the blessing of the Lord with his lips, and to rejoice in his name.
|
|
21 As chroym ad sheese ad hene dy choyrt ooashley yn nah cheayrt, son cosney bannaght veih’n er smoo syrjey.
|
21 And they bowed themselves down to worship the second time, that they might receive a blessing from the most High.

22 Now therefore bless ye the God of all, which only doeth wondrous things every where, which exalteth our days from the womb, and dealeth with us according to his mercy.
|
|
23 Dy giall eh dooinyn gennallys cree, as dy vod shee ve ayns ny laghyn ainyn ayns Israel son dy bragh.

24 That he would confirm his mercy with us, and deliver us at his time!

26 They that sit upon the mountain of Samaria, and they that dwell among the Philistines, and that foolish people that dwell in Sichem.

A Prayer of Jesus the son of Sirach.
|
|
1 Ver-yms booise dhyt’s, O Hiarn as Ree, as nee’m oo y voylley; O Yee my haualtagh, ta mee coyrt ard-voylley da dty ennym:
|
1 I will thank thee, O Lord and King, and praise thee, O God my Saviour: I do give praise unto thy name:
|
|
2 Son uss my endeilagh as my er-coonee, as t’ou er choadey my chorp veih toyrt-mow, as veih ribbey yn chengey scammyltagh, as veih ny meillyn ta cooiney breagyn, as t’ou er ve m’er-coonee noi my noidyn:
|
2 For thou art my defender and helper, and has preserved my body from destruction, and from the snare of the slanderous tongue, and from the lips that forge lies, and has been mine helper against mine adversaries:
|
|
3 As t’ou er m’y livrey cordail rish earroo dty vyghinyn, as yrjid dt’ennym, veih ny feeacklyn ocsyn va aarloo dy my stroie, as veih laueyn nyn lheid as va shirrey lurg my vioys, as veih ny ymmodee seaghyn v’aym;
|
3 And hast delivered me, according to the multitude of they mercies and greatness of thy name, from the teeth of them that were ready to devour me, and out of the hands of such as sought after my life, and from the manifold afflictions which I had;
|
|
4 Veih plooghey aile er dy chooilley heu; as veih mean yn aile nagh ren mee y oaddey;
|
4 From the choking of fire on every side, and from the midst of the fire which I kindled not;
|
|
5 Veih diunid s’inshley niurin, veih chengey neu-ghlen, as veih goan brynnagh.
|
5 From the depth of the belly of hell, from an unclean tongue, and from lying words.
|
|
6 Liorish plaiynt gys y ree veih chengey neu-chairagh, hayrn m’annym er-gerrey eer gys baase, va my vioys er-gerrey da diunid yn oaie.
|
6 By an accusation to the king from an unrighteous tongue my soul drew near even unto death, my life was near to the hell beneath.
|
|
7 Ren ad my chruinnaghey er dy chooilley heu, as cha row dooinney erbee dy chooney lhiam: yeeagh mee son kemmyrk veih deiney, agh cha row veg.
|
7 They compassed me on every side, and there was no man to help me: I looked for the succour of men, but there was none.
|
|
8 Eisht smooinee mee er dty vyghin, O Hiarn, as er dty obbraghyn er-dyn chenn earish, kys t’ou livrey adsyn ta farkiaght ort, as sauail ad ass laueyn ny noidyn.

8 Then thought I upon thy mercy, O Lord, and upon thy acts of old, how thou deliverest such as wait for thee, and savest them out of the hands of the enemies.
|
|
9 Eisht hrog mee seose m’accan veih’n ooir, as ghuee mee son livrey-ys veih baase.
|
9 Then lifted I up my supplications from the earth, and prayed for deliverance from death.
|
|
10 Deïe mee er y Chiarn, ayr my Hiarn, nagh vaagagh eh mee ayns laghyn my heaghyn, as ayns earish ny mooaralee, tra nagh row veg y chooney.

10 I called upon the Lord, the Father of my Lord, that he would not leave me in the days of my trouble, and in the time of the proud, when there was no help.
|
|
11 Nee’m dy kinjagh dty ennym y voylley, as ver-ym moylley dhyt lesh arrane dy hoyrt-booise; as myr shen va my phadjer er ny chlashtyn:

12 For thou savedst me from destruction, and deliveredst me from the evil time: therefore will I give thanks, and praise thee, and bless they name, O Lord.
|
|
13 Choud’s va mee foast aeg, as roish my jagh mee rieau magh ’sy theihll, ren mee creenaght y yeearree dy foshlit ayns my phadjer.

13 When I was yet young, or ever I went abroad, I desired wisdom openly in my prayer.
|

14 Ghuee mee er e son roish y chiamble, as nee’m ee y hirrey magh eer gys y jerrey.

15 Even from the flower till the grape was ripe hath my heart delighted in her: my foot went the right way, from my youth up sought I after her.
|
|
16 Chroym mee sheese my chleaysh ny veggan, as ren mee soiaghey j’ee, as hooar mee lane ynsagh.
|
16 I bowed down mine ear a little, and received her, and gat much learning.

18 Son chiare mee dy yannoo ny lurg, as deiyr mee dy jeean er shen ny ta mie; myr shen cha bee’m er my choyrt naardey.

18 For I purposed to do after her, and earnestly I followed that which is good; so shall I not be confounded.

19 My soul hath wrestled with her, and in my doings I was exact: I stretched forth my hands to the heaven above, and bewailed my ignorances of her.
|
|

20 I directed my soul unto her, and I found her in pureness: I have had my heart joined with her from the beginning, therefore shall I not be foresaken.
|
|
21 Va my chree seaghnit ayns shirrey er e son: shen-y-fa ta mee er gheddyn eiraght vie.

21 My heart was troubled in seeking her: therefore have I gotten a good possession.

22 The Lord hath given me a tongue for my reward, and I will praise him therewith.

2 Quoi va ayns lhing Enemessar ree ny Assyrianee er ny leeideil ayns cappeeys magh ass Thisbe, t’er y laue yesh jeh'n Ard-valley shen ta dy cairagh enmysit Nephthali ayns Galilee cheu heose jeh Aser.

2 Who in the time of Enemessar king of the Assyrians was led captive out of Thisbe, which is at the right hand of that city, which is called properly Nephthali in Galilee above Aser.
|

3 Ta mish Tobit er n'immeeaght ooilley laghyn my vea ayns aght firrinagh as cairagh, as ren mee ymmodee giastyllys er my vraaraghyn, as my ashoon, ad haink marym gys Nineve ayns cheer ny Assyrianee.
|
3 I Tobit have walked all the days of my life in the ways of truth and justice, and I did many almsdeeds to my brethren, and my nation, who came with me to Nineve, into the land of the Assyrians.
|
|
4 As tra va mee ayns my heer hene, thalloo Israel, my scollag, huitt ooilley tribe Nephthalia my ayrey veih thie Yerusalem, va er ny reih ass ooilley tribeyn Israel dy jinnagh ny tribeyn ooilley ouralley ayns shen, raad va chiamble yn Er-smoo ard er ny chasherickey, as er ny hroggal cour dy chooilley heeloghe.
|
4 And when I was in mine own country, in the land of Israel being but young, all the tribe of Nephthali my father fell from the house of Jerusalem, which was chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, that all the tribes should sacrifice there, where the temple of the habitation of the most High was consecrated and built for all ages.
|
|
5 Nish ren ooilley ny tribeyn, dirree-magh cooidjagh, as thie Nephthali my ayr, ouralley gys y cholbagh Baal.

5 Now all the tribes which together revolted, and the house of my father Nephthali, sacrificed unto the heifer Baal.
|

|
6 But I alone went often to Jerusalem at the feasts, as it was ordained unto all the people of Israel by an everlasting decree, having the firstfruits and tenths of increase, with that which was first shorn; and them gave I at the altar to the priests the children of Aaron.
|
|
7 Yn chied jeihoo ayrn jeh dy chooilley vishaghey hug mee da mec Aaron, va jannoo shirveish ec Jerusalem: jeihoo ayrn elley ren mee creck, as hie mee, as vaar mee eh dy chooilley vlein ec Jerusalem:
|
7 The first tenth part of all increase I gave to the sons of Aaron, who ministered at Jerusalem: another tenth part I sold away, and went, and spent it every year at Jerusalem:
|
|
8 As y trass jeihoo ayrn hug mee da nyn lheid as ve cair daue, myr va Debora moir my ayrey er harey dou, er-yn-oyr as dy row mee faagit my lhiannoo-treoghe liorish my ayr.

8 And the third I gave unto them to whom it was meet, as Debora my father's mother had commanded me, because I was left an orphan by my father.
|
|
9 Ny sodjey na shoh, tra va mee er roshtyn gys eash dooinney, phoos mee Anna jeh my chynney hene as jee-ish hooar mee Tobias.
|
9 Furthermore, when I was come to the age of a man, I married Anna of mine own kindred, and of her I begat Tobias.
|
|
10 As tra va shin currit lhian ersooyl nyn gappee gys Nineve, ren ooilley my vraaraghyn, as adsyn va jeh my chynney, gee jeh arran ny ashoonee.
|
10 And when we were carried away captives to Nineve, all my brethren and those that were of my kindred did eat of the bread of the Gentiles.
|
|
11 Agh dreill mish mee-hene voish gee;
|
11 But I kept myself from eating;
|
|
12 Er-yn-oyr as dy chooinee mee er Jee lesh ooilley my chree.
|
12 Because I remembered God with all my heart.
|
|
13 As hug Jee grayse as foayr dou kiongoyrt rish Enemessar, myr shen dy row mee e hessenagh.
|
13 And the most High gave me grace and favour before Enemessar, so that I was his purveyor.
|
|
14 As hie mee gys Media, as daag mee marish Gaba[e]l, braar Ghabrias, ec Rages ard-valley ayns Media, jeih talentyn dy argid.
|
14 And I went into Media, and left in trust with Gabael, the brother of Gabrias, at Rages a city of Media ten talents of silver.
|
|
15 Nish tra va Enemessar marroo, ren Sennach[e]rib e vac reill ayns e ynnyd; e chooishyn va cha fud-y-cheilley, nagh voddins goll gys Media.
|
15 Now when Enemessar was dead, Sennacherib his son reigned in his stead; whose estate was troubled, that I could not go into Media.
|
|
16 As ayns traa Enemessar hug mish ymmodee jeirk da my vraaraghyn, as hug mee my arran da ny accryssee,
|
16 And in the time of Enemessar I gave many alms to my brethren, and gave my bread to the hungry,
|
|
17 As my eaddagh da'n rooisht: as my hee-in veg jeh my ashoon marroo, ny lhie mysh voallaghyn Nineve, ren mee eh y oanluckey.
|
17 And my clothes to the naked: and if I saw any of my nation dead, or cast about the walls of Nineve, I buried him.
|
|
18 As my va Sennacherib yn ree er varroo veg, tra v'eh er jeet as er hea veih Judea, ren mish ad y oanluckey gyn-yss; (son ayns e eulys varr eh ymmodee;) agh ny kirp cha row ry-gheddyn, tra va shirrey jeant er-nyn-son liorish y ree.
|
18 And if the king Sennacherib had slain any, when he was come, and fled from Judea, I buried them privily; for in his wrath he killed many; but the bodies were not found, when they were sought for of the king.
|
|
19 As tra hie fer jeh ny Nineviteyn as phlaiynt eh orrym gys y ree, son dy row mee goanluckey ad, as keiltyn mee-hene; toiggal dy row ad shirrey er-my-hon dy my choyrt gy baase, hie mee ass y raad trooid aggle.
|
19 And when one of the Ninevites went and complained of me to the king, that I buried them, and hid myself; understanding that I was sought for to be put to death, I withdrew myself for fear.
|
|
20 Eisht va ooilley my chooid er ny ghoaill voym er-niart, chamoo va veg faagit dou, er-lhimmey jeh Anna my ven as Tobias my vac.

20 Then all my goods were forcibly taken away, neither was there any thing left me, beside my wife Anna and my son Tobias.
|

|
21 And there passed not five and fifty days, before two of his sons killed him, and they fled into the mountains of Ararath; and Sarchedonus his son reigned in his stead; who appointed over his father's accounts, and over all his affairs, Achiacharus my brother Anael's son.
|
|
22 As Achiacharus geearree er-my-hon, haink mee reesht gys Nineve. Nish va Achiacharus yn shirveishagh-cappan, as tashteyder yn cowrey, as stiurt, as fakider harrish ny coontaghyn; as doardee eh Sarchedonus dy ve yn fer by-niessey da hene: as v'eh mac my vraar.
|
22 And Achiacharus intreating for me, I returned to Nineve. Now Achiacharus was cupbearer, and keeper of the signet, and steward, and overseer of the accounts: and Sarchedonus appointed him next unto him: and he was my brother's son.

|
1 Now when I was come home again, and my wife Anna was restored unto me, with my son Tobias, in the feast of Pentecost, which is the holy feast of the seven weeks, there was a good dinner prepared me, in the which I sat down to eat.
|
|
2 As tra honnick mee laanid dy veaghey, dooyrt mee rish my vac, Immee as cur lhiat dooinney boght erbee dy vow jeh nyn mraaraghyn, ta aignagh er y Chiarn, as cur-my-ner, fuirryms rhyt.
|
2 And when I saw abundance of meat, I said to my son, Go and bring what poor man soever thou shalt find out of our brethren, who is mindful of the Lord; and, lo, I tarry for thee.
|
|
3 Agh haink eh reesht, as dooyrt eh, Ayr, ta fer jeh’n ashoon ain er ny choyrt gy baase, as t'eh tilgit magh ayns grunt-y-vargee.

3 But he came again, and said, Father, one of our nation is strangled, and is cast out in the marketplace.
|
|
4 Eisht roish my vlaysht mee er veg jeh’n beaghey, dirree mee seose, as ghow mee eh seose ayns shamyr derrey goll-sheese ny greiney.
|
4 Then before I had tasted of any meat, I started up, and took him up into a room until the going down of the sun.
|
|
5 Eisht haink mee reesht, as ren mee mee-hene y niee, as ghow mee my vee ayns trommys,
|
5 Then I returned, and washed myself, and ate my meat in heaviness,
|
|
6 Cooinaghtyn er y phadeyrys shen ren Amos, tra dooyrt eh, Ny feaillaghyn eu vees chyndait gys dobberan, as y reaid eu gys coe.
|
6 Remembering that prophecy of Amos, as he said, Your feasts shall be turned into mourning, and all your mirth into lamentation.
|
|
7 Shen-y-fa cheayn mee: as lurg lhie-ghreiney hie mee as ren mee oaie, as doanluck mee eh.
|
7 Therefore I wept: and after the going down of the sun I went and made a grave, and buried him.
|
|
8 Agh ren my naboonyn faghid jeem, as dooyrt ad, Cha vel foast aggle er y dooinney shoh dy bee eh er ny choyrt gy baase son yn obbyr shoh; hea eh ersooyl; as cur-my-ner, t'eh goanluckey ny merriu reesht.
|
8 But my neighbours mocked me, and said, This man is not yet afraid to be put to death for this matter: who fled away; and yet, lo, he burieth the dead again.
|
|
9 Yn oie cheddin, haink mee veih'n oanluckey, as chaddil mee liorish cleiy garey my chooyrt, son dy row mee neu-ghlen, as va m'eddin rooisht:
|
9 The same night also I returned from the burial, and slept by the wall of my courtyard, being polluted and my face was uncovered:
|
|
10 As cha bione dou dy row sperriu ’sy chleiy, as myr va my hooillyn foshlit, skuit ny sperriu eoylley heh ayns my hooillyn, as haink bolg er my hooillyn; as hie mee gys ny fir-lhee, agh cha choon ad lhiam: ny smoo na shen ren Archiacharus my yannoo-magh, derrey hie mee gys Elymais.
|
10 And I knew not that there were sparrows in the wall, and mine eyes being open, the sparrows muted warm dung into mine eyes, and a whiteness came in mine eyes: and I went to the physicians, but they helped me not: moreover Achiacharus did nourish me, until I went into Elymais.
|
|
11 As ghow Anna my ven obbraghyn mraane dy yannoo.
|
11 And my wife Anna did take women's works to do.
|
|
12 As tra v'ee er choyrt thie ad gys ny oaneryn, deeck ad e faill j'ee, as hug ad mannan j'ee myrgeddin.
|
12 And when she had sent them home to the owners, they paid her wages, and gave her also besides a kid.
|
|
13 As tra v'eh ayns my hie, as er ghoaill toshiaght dy eamagh, dooyrt mish ree, Cre voish ta’n mannan shoh? nagh re geidit t'eh? cur reesht da ny oaneryn eh; son te noi'n leigh dy ee red erbee ta geidit.
|
13 And when it was in my house, and began to cry, I said unto her, From whence is this kid? is it not stolen? render it to the owners; for it is not lawful to eat any thing that is stolen.
|
|
14 Agh dreggyr ish, V'eh currit son gioot marish my aill; ny-yeih cha chreid mish ee, agh dooyrt mee ree dy choyrt eh reesht da ny oaneryn: as va dowin-nearey orrym j'ee. Agh hyndaa ee orrym gra, C'raad ta dty yiastyllys as dty obbraghyn crauee? cur-my-ner, ta fys rhyts as ooilley dt'obbraghyn.
|
14 But she replied upon me, It was given for a gift more than the wages. Howbeit I did not believe her, but bade her render it to the owners: and I was abashed at her. But she replied upon me, Where are thine alms and thy righteous deeds? behold, thou and all thy works are known.

1 Eisht va mee ayns seaghyn as cheayn mee, as ayns my heaghyn ghow mee padjer, gra,

1 Then I being grieved did weep, and in my sorrow prayed, saying,
|

2 O Hiarn, t'ou uss cairagh, as ta ooilley dt'obbraghyn, as dty raaidyn, myghin as firrinys, as t'ou briwnys [dy] firrinagh as cairagh son dy bragh.

2 O Lord, thou art just, and all thy works and all thy ways are mercy and truth, and thou judgest truly and justly for ever.

3 Cooinee orrym, as jeeagh orrym, nagh kerree mee son my pheccaghyn as mee-hushtey, ny son peccaghyn my ayraghyn, t'er n'yannoo olk kiongoyrt rhyt:

3 Remember me, and look on me, punish me not for my sins and ignorances, and the sins of my fathers, who have sinned before thee:
|

4 Son cha dug ad biallys da dt'annaghyn: shen-y-fa t'ou er livrey shin son spooilley, as gys cappeeys, as gys baase, as dy ve son raa oltoo[a]nagh da ooilley ny ashoonyn ny mast' oc ta shin er nyn skeayley.
|
4 For they obeyed not thy commandments: wherefore thou hast delivered us for a spoil, and unto captivity, and unto death, and for a proverb of reproach to all the nations among whom we are dispersed.
|
|
5 As nish ta dty vriwnyssyn ymmodee as cairagh, dy ghellal rhym cordail rish ny peccaghyn aym-pene as my ayraghyn: er-y-fa nagh vel shin er reayll dt'annaghyn, chamoo er hooyl ayns firrinys kiongoyrt rhyt.

5 And now thy judgments are many and true: deal with me according to my sins and my fathers': because we have not kept thy commandments, neither have walked in truth before thee.
|
|
6 Nish er-y-fa shen dell rhym myr s’cooie lhiat, as cur sarey my spyrryd dy ve er ny ghoaill voym, dy voddym lheie er-sooyl, as chyndaa gys yn ooir: son te vondeishagh dou dy ve marroo myr reih er ve bio, er-yn-oyr as dy vel mee er chlashtyn oltooanyn foalsey, as ta lane seaghyn aym: shen-y-fa cur sarey dy voddym nish ve livreit ass y chennid shoh, as goll er-sooyl gys yn ynnyd dy bragh farraghtyn: nagh chyndaa dt'eddin ersooyl voym.
|
6 Now therefore deal with me as seemeth best unto thee, and command my spirit to be taken from me, that I may be dissolved, and become earth: for it is profitable for me to die rather than to live, because I have heard false reproaches, and have much sorrow: command therefore that I may now be delivered out of this distress, and go into the everlasting place: turn not thy face away from me.
|
|
7 As haink eh gy-kione yn laa cheddin, ayns Ecbatane ard-valley ayns Media dy row Sara inneen Reguel oltooanit myrgeddin liorish mraane aegey e jishig;
|
7 It came to pass the same day, that in Ecbatane a city of Media Sara the daughter of Raguel was also reproached by her father's maids;
|
|
8 Son dy row ee er ny ve poost rish shiaght deiney, quoi va'n drogh spyrryd Asmodeus er varroo, roish my lhie ad maree. Vel oo er yarrood, dooyrt adsyn, dy varr oo dty gheiney? ta hannah shiaght deiney er ve ayd, foast cha row uss enmysit er veg jeu.
|
8 Because that she had been married to seven husbands, whom Asmodeus the evil spirit had killed, before they had lain with her. Dost thou not know, said they, that thou hast strangled thine husbands? thou hast had already seven husbands, neither wast thou named after any of them.
|
|
9 Cre'n-fa t'ou geealley shinyn son oc? my t’ad marroo, immee uss royd geiyrt orroo, narra noain dooin dy bragh 'akin jeed edyr mac ny inneen.

9 Wherefore dost thou beat us for them? if they be dead, go thy ways after them, let us never see of thee either son or daughter.

|
10 Whe she heard these things, she was very sorrowful, so that she thought to have strangled herself; and she said, I am the only daughter of my father, and if I do this, it shall be a reproach unto him, and I shall bring his old age with sorrow unto the grave.
|
|
11 Eisht ghow ee padjer, jeeaghyn lesh yn uinnag, as dooyrt ee, Bannit t'ou uss, O Hiarn my Yee, as ta dt'ennym casherick as gloyroil bannit as ooasle er-son dy bragh: lhig da ooilley dty obbraghyn oo y voylley son dy bragh.
|
11 Then she prayed toward the window, and said, Blessed art thou, O Lord my God, and thine holy and glorious name is blessed and honourable for ever: let all thy works praise thee for ever.
|
|
12 As nish, O Hiarn, ta mish soiagh my hooillyn as m'eddin ort,

12 And now, O Lord, I set mine eyes and my face toward thee,
|
|
13 As gra, Gow jeh'n ooir mee, nagh glin-ym arragh yn oltooan.
|
13 And say, Take me out of the earth, that I may hear no more the reproach.
|

15 And that I never polluted my name, nor the name of my father, in the land of my captivity: I am the only daughter of my father, neither hath he any child to be his heir, neither any near kinsman, nor any son of his alive, to whom I may keep myself for a wife: my seven husbands are already dead; and why should I live? but if it please not thee that I should die, command some regard to be had of me, and pity taken of me, that I hear no more reproach.

17 And Raphael was sent to heal them both, that is, to scale away the whiteness of Tobit's eyes, and to give Sara the daughter of Raguel for a wife to Tobias the son of Tobit; and to bind Asmodeus the evil spirit; because she belonged to Tobias by right of inheritance. The selfsame time came Tobit home, and entered into his house, and Sara the daughter of Raguel came down from her upper chamber.

5 My son, be mindful of the Lord our God all thy days, and let not thy will be set to sin, or to transgress his commandments: do uprightly all thy life long, and follow not the ways of unrighteousness.
|
|
6 Son my vees oo firrinagh ayns dty ghellal, nee dt'obbraghyn bishaghey as cheet dy mie lhiat, as dauesyn ooilley ta baghey dy cairal.
|
6 For if thou deal truly, thy doings shall prosperously succeed to thee, and to all them that live justly.
|
|
7 Cur jeirk jeh dty chooid; as tra ver oo jeirk, nagh lhig da y hooill ve mooaraghey, chamoo chyndaa dt'eddin ersooyl voish boght erbee, as cha bee eddin Yee er ny hyndaa ersooyl voids.
|
7 Give alms of thy substance; and when thou givest alms, let not thine eye be envious, neither turn thy face from any poor, and the face of God shall not be turned away from thee.
|
|
8 My ta lane ayd, cur jeirk dy-palchey: mannagh vel ayd agh red beg, nagh gow aggle dy choyrt cordail rish y veggan shen:
|
8 If thou hast abundance give alms accordingly: if thou have but a little, be not afraid to give according to that little:
|
|
9 Son t'ou chaglym seose berchys vie dhyt hene cour laa ny feme.
|
9 For thou layest up a good treasure for thyself against the day of necessity.
|
|
10 Er-y-fa dy vel jeirk livrey veih baase, as lhiettal dy heet ayns dorraghys.
|
10 Because that alms do deliver from death, and suffereth not to come into darkness.
|
|
11 Son ta jeirk ny ghioot mie dauesyn ooilley ta dy choyrt eh ayns shilley yn Er smoo ard.
|
11 For alms is a good gift unto all that give it in the sight of the most High.
|

|
12 Beware of all whoredom, my son, and chiefly take a wife of the seed of thy fathers, and take not a strange woman to wife, which is not of thy father's tribe: for we are the children of the prophets, Noe, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: remember, my son, that our fathers from the beginning, even that they all married wives of their own kindred, and were blessed in their children, and their seed shall inherit the land.
|
|
13 Nish er-y-fa-shen, my vac, cur uss graih da dty vraaraghyn, as ayns dty chree nagh jean beg y hoiagh jeh dty vraaraghyn, mec as inneenyn dty phobble, ayns dyn ben y ghoaill jeu: son ayns moyrn ta toyrt-mow as lane seaghyn, as ayns rouanys ta genney: son she rouanys moir y ghortey.
|
13 Now therefore, my son, love thy brethren, and despise not in thy heart thy brethren, the sons and daughters of thy people, in not taking a wife of them: for in pride is destruction and much trouble, and in lewdness is decay and great want: for lewdness is the mother of famine.
|
|
14 Nagh freill e aill voish dooinney erbee t’er n’obbragh dhyt, agh eeck da ass-laue eh: son my t'ou shirveish Jee, nee eshyn er yn aght cheddin uss y eeck reesht: bee tastagh, my vac, ayns dy-chooilley nhee t'ou dy yannoo, as bee creeney ayns ooilley dty immeeaght.
|
14 Let not the wages of any man, which hath wrought for thee, tarry with thee, but give him it out of hand: for if thou serve God, he will also repay thee: be circumspect my son, in all things thou doest, and be wise in all thy conversation.
|
|
15 Nagh jean rish fer erbee lheid y red as ta dwoaiagh dhyt hene: nagh iu feeyn dy yannoo er-meshtey jeed, chamoo lhig da meshtyllys goll mayrt ayns dty yurnah.
|
15 Do that to no man which thou hatest: drink not wine to make thee drunken: neither let drunkenness go with thee in thy journey.
|
|
16 Cur jeh dt’arran da ny accryssee, as jeh dty gharmadyn dauesyn ta rooisht; as cordail rish myr ta’n fort ayd cur jeirk; as nagh lhig da dty hooill ve mooaraghey, tra t'ou coyrt jeirk.
|
16 Give of thy bread to the hungry, and of thy garments to them that are naked; and according to thine abundance give alms: and let not thine eye be envious, when thou givest alms.
|
|
17 Deayrt magh dt'arran er oanluckey yn ynrick, agh nagh cur veg da drogh-yantagh.
|
17 Pour out thy bread on the burial of the just, but give nothing to the wicked.
|
|
18 Shir coyrle jeusyn ta creeney, as nagh soie beg jeh coyrle erbee ta vondeishagh.
|
18 Ask counsel of all that are wise, and despise not any counsel that is profitable.
|
|
19 Bannee yn Chiarn [dty Yee] dy kinjagh, as yeearree jehsyn dy vod dty raaidyn ve ynsit dhyt, as ooilley dty gholl as dty chooishyn heet lhiat: son cha vel coyrle ec dy chooilley ashoon; agh ta'n Chiarn eh-hene coyrt dy chooilley nhee mie, as t’eh ginjillagh quoi saillish, myr saillish; nish er-y-fa shen, my vac, cooinee er my haraghyn, chamoo lhig daue ve currit ass dty aigney.
|
19 Bless the Lord thy God alway, and desire of him that thy ways may be directed, and that all thy paths and counsels may prosper: for every nation hath not counsel; but the Lord himself giveth all good things, and he humbleth whom he will, as he will; now therefore, my son, remember my commandments, neither let them be put out of thy mind.
|
|
20 As nish ta mee ginsh shoh dhyt, dy dug mish [jeih] talentyn fo kiarail Gabael mac Ghabrias ec Rages ayns Media.

20 And now I signify this to they that I committed ten talents to Gabael the son of Gabrias at Rages in Media.
|

21 And fear not, my son, that we are made poor: for thou hast much wealth, if thou fear God, and depart from all sin, and do that which is pleasing in his sight.

1 Eisht dreggyr Tobias as dooyrt eh, Ayr, neem’s jannoo ooilley ny reddyn t'ou er harey dou:
|
1 Tobias then answered and said, Father, I will do all things which thou hast commanded me:
|
|
2 Agh kys oddym yn argid y gheddyn, fakin nagh vel enn aym er?
|
2 But how can I receive the money, seeing I know him not?
|
|
3 Eisht hug eh yn laue-scrieuee da, as dooyrt eh rish, Jeeagh uss son dooinney oddys goll mayrt, choud as ta mish foast bio, as verryms faill da: as immee as fow yn argid.
|
3 Then he gave him the handwriting, and said unto him, Seek thee a man which may go with thee, whiles I yet live, and I will give him wages: and go and receive the money.
|
|
4 Shen-y-fa tra hie eh dy yeeaghyn son dooinney, hooar eh yn ainle Raphael.
|
4 Therefore when he went to seek a man, he found Raphael that was an angel.
|
|
5 Agh cha row fys echeysyn er; as dooyrt eh rish, Nod uss goll maryms gys Rages? as vel enney mie ayd er ny buill shen?
|
5 But he knew not; and he said unto him, Canst thou go with me to Rages? and knowest thou those places well?
|
|
6 As dooyrt yn ainle rish, Hed-yms mayrt as [s']mie shione dou yn raad: son ta mee er-reish aaght y ghoaill marish nyn mraar Gabael.
|
6 To whom the angel said, I will go with thee, and I know the way well: for I have lodged with our brother Gabael.
|
|
7 Eisht dooyrt Tobias rish, Fuirree rhym, derrey insh-ym da my ayr.
|
7 Then Tobias said unto him, Tarry for me, till I tell my father.
|
|
8 Eisht dooyrt eh rish, Immee, as nagh fuirree. Myr shen hie eh stiagh as dooyrt eh rish e ayr, Cur-my-ner, ta mish er gheddyn fer hed marym. Eisht dooyrt eh, Eie er hym, dy vod fys ve aym cre'n tribe t'eh jeh, as vel eh dooinney surdremagh dy gholl mayrt.
|
8 Then he said unto him, Go and tarry not. So he went in and said to his father, Behold, I have found one which will go with me. Then he said, Call him unto me, that I may know of what tribe he is, and whether he be a trusty man to go with thee.
|
|
9 Myr shen deie eh er, as haink eh stiagh, as ghow ad boggey jeh my-cheilley.
|
9 So he called him, and he came in, and they saluted one another.
|
|
10 Eisht dooyrt Tobit rish, Vraar, soilshee dou cre'n tribe as lught-thie t'ou jeh.
|
10 Then Tobit said unto him, Brother, shew me of what tribe and family thou art.
|
|
11 Dansoor eh, Vel oo shirrey son tribe ny lught-thie, ny son dooinney faillagh dy gholl marish dty vac? Eisht dooyrt Tobit rish, Baillym hoiggal, vraar, dty chynney as dty ennym.
|
11 To whom he said, Dost thou seek for a tribe or family, or an hired man to go with thy son? Then Tobit said unto him, I would know, brother, thy kindred and name.
|
|
12 Eisht dooyrt eh, Ta mish Asarias, mac yn Ananias mooar, as jeh dty vraaraghyn.
|
12 Then he said, I am Azarias, the son of Ananias the great, and of thy brethren.
|
|
13 Eisht dooyrt Tobit, Shee-dy-vea, vraar; nish nagh gow corree rhym, son dy vel mee er vriaght mychione dty hribe as dty lught-thie; son t'ou my vraar, jeh dooghys onneragh as mie: son ta enn aym er Ananias as Jonathas, mec yn Samaias mooar shen, liorish dy jagh shin cooidjagh gys Jerusalem dy ooashlaghey, as dy hebbal yn chied er ny ruggey, as jaghee ny messyn; as cha row adsyn cleaynit liorish shaghrynys nyn mraaraghyn: my vraar, t'ou jeh dooghys mie.
|
13 Then Tobit said, Thou art welcome, brother; be not now angry with me, because I have enquired to know thy tribe and thy family; for thou art my brother, of an honest and good stock: for I know Ananias and Jonathas, sons of that great Samaias, as we went together to Jerusalem to worship, and offered the firstborn, and the tenths of the fruits; and they were not seduced with the error of our brethren: my brother, thou art of a good stock.
|
|
14 Agh insh dou cre'n aill verrym dhyt? nailt drachym ’sy laa, as reddyn ymmyrchagh, myr da my vac hene?
|
14 But tell me, what wages shall I give thee? wilt thou a drachm a day, and things necessary, as to mine own son?
|
|
15 Dy jarroo, as ny smoo na shen, my hig shiu thie reesht dy sauchey, dy der-ym dooraght dhyt.
|
15 Yea, moreover, if ye return safe, I will add something to thy wages.
|
|
16 Myr shoh choard ad. Eisht dooyrt eh rish Tobias, Fow oo-hene aarloo cour y jurnah, as dy der Jee jurnah mie diu. As tra va e vac er n'yannoo dy chooilley nhee aarloo son y jurnah, dooyrt e ayr, Immee uss marish y dooinney shoh, as dy der Jee, ta cummal ayns niau, jurnah vondeishagh diu as dy reill ainle Yee sheshaght riu; myr shen hie ad ny-neesht roue, as moddey yn dooinney aeg maroo.
|
16 So they were well pleased. Then said he to Tobias, Prepare thyself for the journey, and God send you a good journey. And when his son had prepared all things for the journey, his father said, Go thou with this man, and God, which dwelleth in heaven, prosper your journey, and the angel of God keep you company. So they went forth both, and the young man's dog with them.
|
|
17 Agh cheayn Anna e voir, as dooyrt ee rish Tobit, cre'n-fa t'ou er choyrt er-sooyl nyn mac? nagh nee eshyn lorg nyn laue, ayns goll magh as stiagh roin?
|
17 But Anna his mother wept, and said to Tobit, Why hast thou sent away our son? is he not the staff of our hand, in going in and out before us?
|
|
18 Nagh bee sayntoilagh dy chur argid gys argid: agh lhig da ve myr red gyn-veg ayns soylagh gys y lhiannoo ain.
|
18 Be not greedy to add money to money: but let it be as refuse in respect of our child.
|
|
19 Son ta shen ny ta'n Chiarn er choyrt dooinyn dy veaghey er, ny saie dooin.
|
19 For that which the Lord hath given us to live with doth suffice us.
|
|
20 Eisht dooyrt Tobit ree, Nagh cur geill, my huyr; hig eh reesht ayns sauchys, as ver dty hooillyn my-ner eh.
|
20 Then said Tobit to her, Take no care, my sister; he shall return in safety, and thine eyes shall see him.
|
|
21 Son hed yn ainle mie ry-heshaght marish, as hig e yurnah lesh, as hig eh hooin reesht dy sauchey.
|
21 For the good angel will keep him company, and his journey shall be prosperous, and he shall return safe.
|
|
22 Eisht scuirr ee jeh keayney.
|
22 Then she made an end of weeping.

1 As myr v'ad goll er nyn yurnah, haink ad 'syn astyr gys yn awin Tigris, as ghow ad aaght ayns shen.
|
1 And as they went on their journey, they came in the evening to the river Tigris, and they lodged there.
|
|
2 As tra hie yn dooinney aeg sheese dy niee eh-hene, lhiem eeast ass yn awin, kiarit dy stroie eh.
|
2 And when the young man went down to wash himself, a fish leaped out of the river, and would have devoured him.
|
|
3 Eisht dooyrt yn ainle rish, Gow yn eeast. As ghreim yn dooinney aeg yn eeast, as hayrn eh gys y thalloo eh.
|
3 Then the angel said unto him, Take the fish. And the young man laid hold of the fish, and drew it to land.
|
|
4 Dooyrt eh rish, Foshil yn eeast, as gow yn cree as yn aane as y gall, as tasht seose ad dy kiaralagh.
|
4 To whom the angel said, Open the fish, and take the heart and the liver and the gall, and put them up safely.
|
|
5 Myr shen ren y dooinney aeg myr va'n ainle er ghra rish; as tra v'ad er ghreddey yn eeast, dee ad eh: eisht hie ad ny-neesht roue derrey haink ad er-gerrey dy Ecbatane.
|
5 So the young man did as the angel commanded him; and when they had roasted the fish, they did eat it: then they both went on their way, till they drew near to Ecbatane.
|
|
6 Eisht dooyrt y dooinney aeg rish, Vraar Asarias, cre-hon ta cree as aane as gall yn eeast?
|
6 Then the young man said to the angel, Brother Azarias, to what use is the heart and the liver and the gal of the fish?
|
|
7 As dooyrt eh rish, Mychione y cree as yn aane, my ta jouyl ny drogh spyrryd boirey 'nane erbee, shegin dooin jaagh 'yannoo jeh kiongoyrt rish y dooinney ny'n ven, as cha bee'n persoon shen arragh er ny heaghney.
|
7 And he said unto him, Touching the heart and the liver, if a devil or an evil spirit trouble any, we must make a smoke thereof before the man or the woman, and the party shall be no more vexed.
|
|
8 Er-son y gall, te mie dy ooillaghey dooinney ta bolg er e hooillyn, as bee eh er ny lheihys.
|
8 As for the gall, it is good to anoint a man that hath whiteness in his eyes, and he shall be healed.
|
|
9 As tra v’ad er jeet er-gerrey da Rages,
|
9 And when they were come near to Rages,
|
|
10 Dooyrt yn ainle rish y dooinney aeg, Vraar, yn laa t'ayn jiu g[h]oys mayd aaght marish Reguel, dty ghooinney mooinjerey; ta echey myrgeddin un ynrican inneen, enmysit Sara; loayr-yms er-e-son dy vod ee ve currit dhyts son ben.
|
10 The angel said to the young man, Brother, to day we shall lodge with Raguel, who is thy cousin; he also hath one only daughter, named Sara; I will speak for her, that she may be given thee for a wife.
|
|
11 Son she dhyts ta'n chairys huic bentyn, fakin dy nee uss ynrican ta jeh'n kynney eck.
|
11 For to thee doth the right of her appertain, seeing thou only art of her kindred.
|
|
12 As ta'n ven aeg aalin as creeney: nish er-y-fa shen eaisht rhym, as neem's loayrt rish e hayr; as tra hig mayd reesht veih Rages nee mayd y poosey 'yannoo: son ta fys aym nagh vod Reguel ee y phoosey rish fer erbee elley cordail rish leigh Voses, negooish ve toilliu baase, er-y-fa dy vel cairys yn eiraght bentyn dhyts roish dooinney erbee elley.
|
12 And the maid is fair and wise: now therefore hear me, and I will speak to her father; and when we return from Rages we will celebrate the marriage: for I know that Raguel cannot marry her to another according to the law of Moses, but he shall be guilty of death, because the right of inheritance doth rather appertain to thee than to any other.
|
|
13 Eisht dreggyr y dooinney aeg yn ainle, Ta mee er chlashtyn, vraar Asarias, dy vel y ven aeg shoh er ny ve currit da shiaght deiney, ooilley jeu hooar baase ayns shamyr ny lhiabbagh-poosee.
|
13 Then the young man answered the angel, I have heard, brother Azarias that this maid hath been given to seven men, who all died in the marriage chamber.
|
|
14 As nish, ta mish yn ynrican mac t'ec m'ayr, as ta mee faitagh, er aggle, my hem stiagh huic, dy n'oym baase, myr yn eallagh roie: son shynney lesh spyrryd olk ee, nagh vel gortagh persoon erbee, agh ad shen ta cheet huic: shen-y-fa ta mish neesht ayns aggle dy bee’m marroo, as my ayr as my voir y choyrt (by-chyndagh rhym) lesh seaghyn gys yn oaie: son cha vel mac arragh oc dy nyn oanluckey.
|
14 And now I am the only son of my father, and I am afraid, lest if I go in unto her, I die, as the other before: for a wicked spirit loveth her, which hurteth no body, but those which come unto her; wherefore I also fear lest I die, and bring my father's and my mother's life because of me to the grave with sorrow: for they have no other son to bury them.
|
|
15 Eisht dooyrt yn ainle rish, Vel oo er yarrood ny saraghyn hug dt'ayr dhyt, dy beign dhyt ben y phoosey jeh dty chynney hene? er-y-fa shen eaisht rhym, O my vraar; son bee ish er ny coyrt dhyts son ben; as nagh jean uss scansh jeh'n spyrryd olk; son yn oie t'ayn noght vees ee er ny coyrt dhyts ayns poosey.
|
15 Then the angel said unto him, Dost thou not remember the precepts which thy father gave thee, that thou shouldest marry a wife of thine own kindred? wherefore hear me, O my brother; for she shall be given thee to wife; and make thou no reckoning of the evil spirit; for this same night shall she be given thee in marriage.
|
|
16 As tra vees oo er jeet stiagh ayns y shamyr-poosee, gowee oo leoie jeh'n ghreesagh, as ver oo paart jeh cree as aane yn eeast ny lhie er, as nee oo jaagh 'yannoo lesh:
|
16 And when thou shalt come into the marriage chamber, thou shalt take the ashes of perfume, and shalt lay upon them some of the heart and liver of the fish, and shalt make a smoke with it:
|
|
17 As soaree yn jouyl eh, as chea er-sooyl, cha jig eh reesht dy bragh arragh: agh tra hig oo stiagh huic, irree-jee ny-neesht seose as guee-jee gys Jee ta myghinagh, as vees chymmey echey erriu, as sauee eh shiu: nagh gow aggle, son t'ee er ny ve kiarit dty chour er-dyn toshiaght; as nee uss ish y choadey, as hed ee mayrt; as ny sodjey na shoh, ta mee smooinaght dy nymmyrk ee cloan dhyt. Nish tra cheayll Tobias ny reddyn shoh, hug eh graih j’ee, as ren e chree dy breeoil lhiantyn huic.
|
17 And the devil shall smell it, and flee away, and never come again any more: but when thou shalt come to her, rise up both of you, and pray to God which is merciful, who will have pity on you, and save you: fear not, for she is appointed unto thee from the beginning; and thou shalt preserve her, and she shall go with thee. Moreover I suppose that she shall bear thee children. Now when Tobias had heard these things, he loved her, and his heart was effectually joined to her.

1 As tra v'ad er jeet gys Ecbatane, haink ad gys thie Reguel, as veeit Sara ad: as lurg daue v'er n'oltaghey 'cheilley, chur ee lhee stiagh ad 'sy thie.

1 And when they were come to Ecbatane, they came to the house of Raguel, and Sara met them: and after they had saluted one another, she brought them into the house.
|
|
2 Eisht dooyrt Reguel rish Edna e ven, Dy jeeragh ta'n dooinney aeg shoh goll-rish Tobit my ghooinney mooinjerey!

2 Then said Raguel to Edna his wife, How like is this young man to Tobit my cousin!
|
|
3 As vrie Reguel jeu, Cre veih ta shiu, vraaraghyn? Dooyrt adsyn rish, Ta shinyn jeh mec Nephthalim, ta nyn gappee ayns Nineve.

3 And Raguel asked them, From whence are ye, brethren? To whom they said, We are of the sons of Nephthalim, which are captives in Nineve.
|
|
4 Eisht dooyrt eh roo, Vel enn eu er Tobit yn dooinney mooinjerey ain? As dooyrt adsyn, ta enney ain er. Eisht dooyrt eh, Vel eh ayns slaynt vie?

4 Then he said to them, Do ye know Tobit our kinsman? And they said, We know him. Then said he, Is he in good health?
|
|
5 As dooyrt ad, T'eh chammah bio, as ayns slaynt vie: as dooyrt Tobias, T'eh yn ayr aym's.
|
5 And they said, He is both alive, and in good health: and Tobias said, He is my father.
|
|
6 Eisht lheim Reguel seose, as hug eh paag da, as cheayn eh.
|
6 Then Raguel leaped up, and kissed him, and wept,
|
|
7 As hug eh bannaght er, as dooyrt eh rish, T'ou uss mac dooinney onneragh as mie; agh tra v'eh er chlashtyn dy row Tobit doal, v'eh seaghnagh, as cheayn eh.
|
7 And blessed him, and said unto him, Thou art the son of an honest and good man. But when he had heard that Tobit was blind, he was sorrowful, and wept.
|
|
8 As myrgeddin ren Edna e ven as Sara e inneen keayney. Marish shoh ghow ad roo dy aggindagh; as lurg daue v'er varroo rea jeh'n chioltane, hoie ad palchey dy veaghey er y voayrd.

|
8 And likewise Edna his wife and Sara his daughter wept. Moreover they entertained them cheerfully; and after that they had killed a ram of the flock, they set store of meat on the table. Then said Tobias to Raphael, Brother Azarias, speak of those things of which thou didst talk in the way, and let this business be dispatched.
|
|
9 Er shen hoilshee eh'n chooish da Reguel: as dooyrt Reguel rish Tobias, Ee as iu, as jean cree mie:
|
9 So he communicated the matter with Raguel: and Raguel said to Tobias, Eat and drink, and make merry:
|
|
10 Son te cooie dy lhisagh oo poosey my inneen: ny-yeih insh-yms yn irriney dhyt.
|
10 For it is meet that thou shouldest marry my daughter: nevertheless I will declare unto thee the truth.
|

11 Ta mish er-reish my inneen y choyrt ayns poosey da shiaght deiney, quoi hooar baase yn oie shen hie ad stiagh huic: ny-yeih, ec y traa t'ayn, jean uss cree mie. Agh dooyrt Tobias. Cha n'ee-ym veg ayns shoh, derrey nee mayd coardail as loo yn derrey yeh gys y jeh elley.
|
11 I have given my daughter in marriage to seven men, who died that night they came in unto her: nevertheless for the present be merry. But Tobias said, I will eat nothing here, till we agree and swear one to another.
|
|
12 Dooyrt Reguel, Gow ee eisht maghey shoh cordail rish y cliaghtey, son t'ou dooinney mooinjerey eck, as t'ee lhiat, as dy der y Jee dy vyghin speedeil mie diu ayns dy chooilley nhee.
|
12 Raguel said, Then take her from henceforth according to the manner, for thou art her cousin, and she is thine, and the merciful God give you good success in all things.
|
|
13 Eisht deie eh er Sara e inneen, as haink ee gys e hayr, as ghow eh yn laue eck, as hug ee dy ve ben da Tobias, gra, Cur-my-ner, gow ee cordail rish Voses, as leeid er-sooyl ee gys dt'ayr; as vannee eh ad;
|
13 Then he called his daughter Sara, and she came to her father, and he took her by the hand, and gave her to be wife to Tobias, saying, Behold, take her after the law of Moses, and lead her away to thy father. And he blessed them;
|
|
14 As gyllagh er Edna e ven, as goaill pabyr, va bargane-nashtee er ny scrieu, as er ny hickyraghey.

|
2 And as he went, he remembered the words of Raphael, and took the ashes of the perfumes, and put the heart and the liver of the fish thereupon, and made a smoke therewith.
|

3 Yn soar cheddin tra va'n spyrryd olk er hoaral, hea eh gys ny ayrnyn sodjey-magh jeh Egypt, [as chiangle yn ainle eh. ]

3 The which smell when the evil spirit had smelled, he fled into the utmost parts of Egypt, and the angel bound him.

4 And after that they were both shut in together, Tobias rose out of the bed, and said, Sister, arise, and let us pray that God would have pity on us.
|
|
5 Eisht ghow Tobias toshiaght dy ghra, Bannit t'ou uss, O Yee jeh nyn ayraghyn, as bannit ta dt’ennym casherick as gloyroil son dy bragh; lhig da ny niaughyn, as ooilley yn croo, uss y voylley.
|
5 Then began Tobias to say, Blessed art thou, O God of our fathers, and blessed is thy holy and glorious name for ever; let the heavens bless thee, and all thy creatures.
|
|
6 Ren oo Adam y chroo, as hug oo Aue e ven da son cooney as barrant: jeusyn haink sheelnaue: t’ou er ghra, Cha vel eh mie dy lhisagh dooinney ve ny lomarcan; lhig dooin 'yannoo da coontey casley rish hene.

6 Thou madest Adam, and gavest him Eve his wife for an helper and stay: of them came mankind: thou hast said, It is not good that man should be alone; let us make unto him an aid like unto himself.

7 As nish, O Hiarn, cha vel mish goaill ee shoh my huyr myr-haynt, agh ayns ynrickys: shen-y-fa dy myghinagh giall dy vod mayd cheet gys shenn eaish cooidjagh.

7 And now, O Lord, I take not this my sister for lust but uprightly: therefore mercifully ordain that we may become aged together.
|

8 As dooyrt ish marishyn, Amen.
|
8 And she said with him, Amen.
|
|
9 Myr shen chaddil ad ny-neesht yn oie shen, As dirree Reguel, as hie eh as ren eh oaie y yannoo,
|
9 So they slept both that night. And Raguel arose, and went and made a grave,
|
|
10 Gra, Ta mee goaill aggle dy vel eshyn myrgeddin marroo.
|
10 Saying, I fear lest he also be dead.
|

11 Agh tra va Reguel er jeet thie,

11 But when Raguel was come into his house,

12 He said unto his wife Edna. Send one of the maids, and let her see whether he be alive: if he be not, that we may bury him, and no man know it.
|
|
13 Myr shen doshil y ven-aeg yn dorrys [as hie ee stiagh,] as hooar ee yn jees ny[n]-gadley,
|
13 So the maid opened the door, and went in, and found them both asleep,
|
|
14 As haink ee magh, as dinsh ee daue dy row eh bio.
|
14 And came forth, and told them that he was alive.

|
15 Then Raguel praised God, and said, O God, thou art worthy to be praised with all pure and holy praise; therefore let thy saints praise thee with all thy creatures; and let all thine angels and thine elect praise thee for ever.
|
|
16 T'ou uss dy ve er dty voylley, son t'ou er n'yannoo mish gerjoil; as cha vel shen ny va mee ouryssagh jeh er jeet my raad; agh t'ou er n'uirraghtyn marin cordail rish dty vyghin vooar.

16 Thou art to be praised, for thou hast made me joyful; and that is not come to me which I suspected; but thou hast dealt with us according to thy great mercy.

17 Thou art to be praised because thou hast had mercy of two that were the only begotten children of their fathers: grant them mercy, O Lord, and finish their life in health with joy and mercy.
|
|
18 Eisht doardee Reguel e harvaantyn dy lhieeney yn oaie.
|
18 Then Raguel bade his servants to fill the grave.

19 As dreill eh yn gien-banshey kiare-laa-yeig.

19 And he kept the wedding feast fourteen days.
|

20 Son roish my row laghyn y phoosey cooilleenit, va Reguel er ghra rish liorish loo, nagh jinnagh mie da goll roish derrey veagh kiare-laa-yeig yn phoosey harrish;
|
20 For before the days of the marriage were finished, Raguel had said unto him by an oath, that he should not depart till the fourteen days of the marriage were expired;
|
|
21 As eisht dy voddagh eh goaill lieh jeh e chooid, as goll ayns sauchys gys e ayr; as dy voghe eh yn fooillagh tra veagh eshyn as e ven marroo.

21 And then he should take the half of his goods, and go in safety to his father; and should have the rest when I and my wife be dead.

2 Eisht dooyrt Tobit, Vel ad cumrit? ny vel Gabael marroo, as cha vel dooinney erbee dy chur da yn argid?

5 Nish cha mooar lhiam son nhee erbee, my vac, neayrys ta mee er choayll uss, soilshey my hooillyn.

5 Now I care for nothing, my son, since I have let thee go, the light of mine eyes.

7 But she said, Hold thy peace, and deceive me not; my son is dead. And she went out every day into the way which they went, and did eat no meat on the daytime, and ceased not whole nights to bewail her son Tobias, until the fourteen days of the wedding were expired, which Raguel had sworn that he should spend there. Then Tobias said to Raguel, Let me go, for my father and my mother look no more to see me.
|
|
8 Agh dooyrt e ayr-'sy-leigh rish, Fuirree marym, as ver-ym fys gys dt’ayr, as inshee ad da kys ta reddyn goll-er mayrt.

8 But his father in law said unto him, Tarry with me, and I will send to thy father, and they shall declare unto him how things go with thee.
|

9 Agh dooyrt Tobias, Cha nee; agh lhig dou goll gys m'ayr.

10 Eisht hrog Reguel er, as hug eh da Sara e ven, as leih jeh e chooid, sharvaantyn, as maase, as argid:

10 Then Raguel arose, and gave him Sara his wife, and half his goods, servants, and cattle, and money:
|
|
11 As vannee eh ad, as hug eh er-sooyl ad, gra, Dy der jee niau jurnah mie diu, my chloan.

11 And he blessed them, and sent them away, saying, The God of heaven give you a prosperous journey, my children.

12 And he said to his daughter, Honour thy father and thy mother in law, which are now thy parents, that I may hear good report of thee. And he kissed her. Edna also said to Tobias, The Lord of heaven restore thee, my dear brother, and grant that I may see thy children of my daughter Sara before I die, that I may rejoice before the Lord: behold, I commit my daughter unto thee of special trust; where are do not entreat her evil.

10 Hie Tobit myrgeddin magh lesh cheu'n dorrish, as huitt eh: agh roie e vac huggey,

11 As ghow eh greim er e ayr: as hug eh struge jeh'n gall er sooillyn e ayrey, gra, bee dy yien mie, my ayr.

And when he came near to Sara his daughter in law, he blessed her, saying, Thou art welcome, daughter: God be blessed, which hath brought thee unto us, and blessed be thy father and thy mother. And there was joy among all his brethren which were at Nineve.

6 If ye turn to him with your whole heart, and with your whole mind, and deal uprightly before him, then will he turn unto you, and will not hide his face from you. Therefore see what he will do with you, and confess him with your whole mouth, and praise the Lord of might, and extol the everlasting King. In the land of my captivity do I praise him, and declare his might and majesty to a sinful nation. O ye sinners, turn and do justice before him: who can tell if he will accept you, and have mercy on you?

2 And he was eight and fifty years old when he lost his sight, which was restored to him after eight years: and he gave alms, and he increased in the fear of the Lord God, and praised him.

3 And when he was very aged he called his son, and the six sons of his son, and said to him, My son, take thy children; for, behold, I am aged, and am ready to depart out of this life.

|
4 Go into Media my son, for I surely believe those things which Jonas the prophet spake of Nineve, that it shall be overthrown; and that for a time peace shall rather be in Media; and that our brethren shall lie scattered in the earth from that good land: and Jerusalem shall be desolate, and the house of God in it shall be burned, and shall be desolate for a time;

5 And that again God will have mercy on them, and bring them again into the land, where they shall build a temple, but not like to the first, until the time of that age be fulfilled; and afterward they shall return from all places of their captivity, and build up Jerusalem gloriously, and the house of God shall be built in it for ever with a glorious building, as the prophets have spoken thereof.

7 So shall all nations praise the Lord, and his people shall confess God, and the Lord shall exalt his people; and all those which love the Lord God in truth and justice shall rejoice, shewing mercy to our brethren.

8 And now, my son, depart out of Nineve, because that those things which the prophet Jonas spake shall surely come to pass.

10 And bury me decently, and thy mother with me; but tarry no longer at Nineve. Remember, my son, how Aman handled Achiacharus that brought him up, how out of light he brought him into darkness, and how he rewarded him again: yet Achiacharus was saved, but the other had his reward: for he went down into darkness. Manasses gave alms, and escaped the snares of death which they had set for him: but Aman fell into the snare, and perished.

11 Wherefore now, my son, consider what alms doeth, and how righteousness doth deliver. When he had said these things, he gave up the ghost in the bed, being an hundred and eight and fifty years old; and he buried him honourably.
|
|
12 As tra va Anna e voir marroo, doanluck eh ee marish e ayr; agh jimmee Tobias marish e ven as e chloan gys Ecbatane, gys Reguel e ayr-’sy-leigh,

1 In the twelfth year of the reign of Nabuchodonosor, who reigned in Nineve, the great city; in the days of Arphaxad, which reigned over the Medes in Ecbatane,

2 And built in Ecbatane walls round about of stones hewn three cubits broad and six cubits long, and made the height of the wall seventy cubits, and the breadth thereof fifty cubits:
|

3 As hrog eh tooryn y chooid cheddin ec ny giattyn echey, keead cubit er yrjid, as va'n lheead echey ’sy vun three-feed cubit:

|
4 And he made the gates thereof, even gates that were raised to the height of seventy cubits, and the breadth of them was forty cubits, for the going forth of his mighty armies, and for the setting in array of his footmen:
|
|
5 Eer ayns ny laghyn shen ren ree Nebuchodonosor caggey ’yannoo rish ree Arphaxad ayns yn eaynagh vooar, ta shen yn eaynagh ayns slystyn Regau.

5 Even in those days king Nabuchodonosor made war with king Arphaxad in the great plain, which is the plain in the borders of Ragau.

6 And there came unto him all they that dwelt in the hill country, and all that dwelt by Euphrates, and Tigris and Hydaspes, and the plain of Arioch the king of the Elymeans, and very many nations of the sons of Chelod, assembled themselves to the battle.

7 Then Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyrians sent unto all that dwelt in Persia, and to all that dwelt westward, and to those that dwelt in Cilicia, and Damascus, and Libanus, and Antilibanus, and to all that dwelt upon the sea coast,
|

9 And to all that were in Samaria and the cities thereof, and beyond Jordan unto Jerusalem, and Betane, and Chelus, and Kades, and the river of Egypt, and Taphnes, and Ramesse, and all the land of Gesem,
|

11 But all the inhabitants of the land made light of the commandment of Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyrians, neither went they with him to the battle; for they were not afraid of him: yea, he was before them as one man, and they sent away his ambassadors from them without effect, and with disgrace.

|
12 Therefore Nabuchodonosor was very angry with all this country, and sware by his throne and kingdom, that he would surely be avenged upon all those coasts of Cilicia, and Damascus, and Syria, and that he would slay with the sword all the inhabitants of the land of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and all Judea, and all that were in Egypt, till ye come to the borders of the two seas.

13 Then he marched in battle array with his power against king Arphaxad in the seventeenth year, and he prevailed in his battle: for he overthrew all the power of Arphaxad, and all his horsemen, and all his chariots,
|

14 As haink eh dy ve ny hiarn jeh ooilley ny ard-valjyn echey, as haink eh gys Ecbatane, as ghow eh ny tooryn, as hug eh naardey ny straidyn echey, as hyndaa eh aalid y chooid cheddin gys nearey.

14 And became lord of his cities, and came unto Ecbatane, and took the towers, and spoiled the streets thereof, and turned the beauty thereof into shame.
|
|
15 Ghow eh myrgeddin Arphaxad ayns sleityn Regau, as woaill eh trooid eh lesh e shleiyghyn, as hug eh mow dy bollagh eh er y laa shen.

15 He took also Arphaxad in the mountains of Ragau, and smote him through with his darts, and destroyed him utterly that day.

19 Then he went forth and all his power to go before king Nabuchodonosor in the voyage, and to cover all the face of the earth westward with their chariots, and horsemen, and their chosen footmen.

27 Then he went down into the plain of Damascus in the time of wheat harvest, and burnt up all their fields, and destroyed their flocks and herds, also he spoiled their cities, and utterly wasted their countries, and smote all their young men with the edge of the sword.

1 Now the children of Israel, that dwelt in Judea, heard all that Holofernes the chief captain of Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyrians had done to the nations, and after what manner he had spoiled all their temples, and brought them to nought.

11 Thus every man and women, and the little children, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, fell before the temple, and cast ashes upon their heads, and spread out their sackcloth before the face of the Lord: also they put sackcloth about the altar,

12 And cried to the God of Israel all with one consent earnestly, that he would not give their children for a prey, and their wives for a spoil, and the cities of their inheritance to destruction, and the sanctuary to profanation and reproach, and for the nations to rejoice at.

1 Then was it declared to Holofernes, the chief captain of the army of Assur, that the children of Israel had prepared for war, and had shut up the passages of the hill country, and had fortified all the tops of the high hills and had laid impediments in the champaign countries:
|

2 Lesh shen v'eh feer jymmoosagh, as deie eh er ooilley princeyn Voab, as captanyn Ammon, as ooilley kiannoortyn ardjyn ny marrey,

3 And he said unto them, Tell me now, ye sons of Chanaan, who this people is, that dwelleth in the hill country, and what are the cities that they inhabit, and what is the multitude of their army, and wherein is their power and strength, and what king is set over them, or captain of their army;

5 Then said Achior, the captain of all the sons of Ammon, Let my lord now hear a word from the mouth of thy servant, and I will declare unto thee the truth concerning this people, which dwelleth near thee, and inhabiteth the hill countries: and there shall no lie come out of the mouth of thy servant.

7 And they sojourned heretofore in Mesopotamia, because they would not follow the gods of their fathers, which were in the land of Chaldea.

8 For they left the way of their ancestors, and worshipped the God of heaven, the God whom they knew: so they cast them out from the face of their gods, and they fled into Mesopotamia, and sojourned there many days.
|

9 Eisht hug y Jee oc sarey daue ad dy aagail yn ynnyd ayn v'ad nyn yoarreeyn, as dy gholl gys thalloo Chanaan: raad ren ad cummal, as v'ad er nyn mishaghey lesh airh as argid, as ymmodee maase.

9 Then their God commanded them to depart from the place where they sojourned, and to go into the land of Chanaan: where they dwelt, and were increased with gold and silver, and with very much cattle.
|

10 But when a famine covered all the land of Chanaan, they went down into Egypt, and sojourned there, while they were nourished, and became there a great multitude, so that one could not number their nation.
|
|
11 Er-y-fa shen dirree ree Egypt seose n'oi oc, as ghell eh dy kialgagh roo, as dreill eh fo ad lesh obbyr vreek, as ren eh kercheenyn jeu.

12 Then they cried unto their God, and he smote all the land of Egypt with incurable plagues: so the Egyptians cast them out of their sight.

13 As hyrmee Jee yn faarkey jiarg rhymboo.

13 And God dried the Red sea before them,
|
|
14 As hug eh lesh ad gys cronk Sina, as Cades-Barne, as deiyr eh magh ooilley cummaltee yn aasagh.

14 And brought them to mount Sina, and Cades-Barne, and cast forth all that dwelt in the wilderness.

16 And they cast forth before them the Chanaanite, the Pherezite, the Jebusite, and the Sychemite, and all the Gergesites, and they dwelt in that country many days.

18 But when they departed from the way which he appointed them, they were destroyed in many battles very sore, and were led captives into a land that was not their's, and the temple of their God was cast to the ground, and their cities were taken by the enemies.

|
9 As my t'ou uss goaill-ort-hene ayns dty aigney nagh bee adsyn goit, nagh lhig sheese dty chree: ta mish er ghra eh, as cha bee veg jeh my ghoan's ayns fardail.
|
9 And if thou persuade thyself in thy mind that they shall be taken, let not thy countenance fall: I have spoken it, and none of my words shall be in vain.
|
|
10 Eisht churmee Holofernes e harvaantyn va fuirraght ayns e chabbane, ad dy ghoaill Achior, as dy chur lhieu eh gys Bethulia, as eh y livrey gys laueyn cloan Israel.
|
10 Then Holofernes commanded his servants, that waited in his tent, to take Achior, and bring him to Bethulia, and deliver him into the hands of the children of Israel.
|
|
11 Myr shen ghow e harvaantyn eh, as hug lhieu eh magh ass y champ gys y trah, as veih mean y trah hie ad gys cheer-ny-gronk, as haink ad gys ny farraneyn va fo Bethulia.
|
11 So his servants took him, and brought him out of the camp into the plain, and they went from the midst of the plain into the hill country, and came unto the fountains that were under Bethulia.
|
|
12 As tra honnick deiney yn ard-valley ad, ghow ad seose nyn wappinyn as jimmee ad magh ass yn ard-valley gys mullagh y chronk: as ren dy chooilley ghooinney va jannoo ymmyd jeh shling ad y reayll voish cheet seose lesh tilgey claghyn n'oi oc.
|
12 And when the men of the city saw them, they took up their weapons, and went out of the city to the top of the hill: and every man that used a sling kept them from coming up by casting of stones against them.
|
|
13 Ny-yeih, er n'gheddyn fo'n chronk gyn-yss, chiangle ad Achior, as cheau ad eh sheese ec bun y chronk, as hyndaa ad reesht gys nyn jiarn.
|
13 Nevertheless having gotten privily under the hill, they bound Achior, and cast him down, and left him at the foot of the hill, and returned to their lord.
|
|
14 Agh hie ny Israeliteyn sheese veih nyn ard-valley, as haink ad huggey, as deayshil ad eh, as hug ad lhieu eh stiagh ayns Bethulia, as yeeagh ad eh da reiltee yn ard-valley:
|
14 But the Israelites descended from their city, and came unto him, and loosed him, and brought him to Bethulia, and presented him to the governors of the city:
|
|
15 Quoi va ayns ny laghyn shen, Osias mac Micha, jeh tribe Simeon, as Chabris mac Ghothonial, as Charmis mac Velchiel.
|
15 Which were in those days Ozias the son of Micha, of the tribe of Simeon, and Chabris the son of Gothoniel, and Charmis the son of Melchiel.
|
|
16 As dyllee ad dy cheilley ooilley shenndeeaght yn ard-valley, as roie yn aegid oc ooilley lesh-y-cheilley, as ny mraane oc, gys y co-chruinnaght, as hoie ad Achior ayns mean ooilley’n pobble. Eisht vrie Osias jeh my-chione ny va jeant.
|
16 And they called together all the ancients of the city, and all their youth ran together, and their women, to the assembly, and they set Achior in the midst of all their people. Then Ozias asked him of that which was done.
|
|
17 As dreggyr eshyn as hoilshee eh daue goan coyrlee Holofernes, as dy chooilley ockle v'eh er loayrt mastey princeyn Assur, as cre-erbee va Holofernes dy moyrnagh er ghra noi thie Israel.
|
17 And he answered and declared unto them the words of the council of Holofernes, and all the words that he had spoken in the midst of the princes of Assur, and whatsoever Holofernes had spoken proudly against the house of Israel.
|
|
18 Eisht huitt y pobble sheese as ren ad Jee y ooashlaghey, as deie ad gys Jee, gra,
|
18 Then the people fell down and worshipped God, and cried unto God. saying,
|
|
19 O Hiarn Yee flaunys, cur-my-ner yn voyrn oc, as gow chymmey jeh stayd injil yn ashoon ain, as jeeagh er yn eddin ocsyn t'er nyn gasherickey hood's yn laa shoh.
|
19 O Lord God of heaven, behold their pride, and pity the low estate of our nation, and look upon the face of those that are sanctified unto thee this day.
|
|
20 [Eisht gherjee ad Achior, as voyll ad dy mooar eh. ]
|
20 Then they comforted Achior, and praised him greatly.
|
|
21 As ghow Osias eh magh ass y co-chruinnaght gys e hie hene, as ren eh cuirraghyn y yannoo da ny shanstyryn; as deie ad er y Jee dy Israel fud-ny-hoie son cooney.
|
21 And Ozias took him out of the assembly unto his house, and made a feast to the elders; and they called on the God of Israel all that night for help.

1 Yn laa er-giyn hug Holofernes sarey da ooilley e heshaght-chaggee, as ooilley e phobble v'er jeet dy ghoaill e phaart, ad dy scughey nyn gamp noi Bethulia, son dy ghoaill rolaue ny ughteeyn gys cheer-ny-gronk, as dy yannoo caggey noi cloan Israel.
|
1 The next day Holofernes commanded all his army, and all his people which were come to take his part, that they should remove their camp against Bethulia, to take aforehand the ascents of the hill country, and to make war against the children of Israel.
|
|
2 Eisht ren ny deiney lajer oc scughey nyn gampyn er y laa shen, as va earroo ny deiney-caggee hoght feed thousane as jeih dy gheiney choshee, as daa housane jeig dy varkee, cheu-mooie jeh ny paggaghyn, as deiney elley va maroo ry-ny-gosh earroo feer vooar.
|
2 Then their strong men removed their camps in that day, and the army of the men of war was an hundred and seventy thousand footmen, and twelve thousand horsemen, beside the baggage, and other men that were afoot among them, a very great multitude.
|
|
3 As champ ad 'sy choan er-errey da Bethulia, liorish y farrane, as skeayl ad ad-hene er lheead harrish Dothaim, eer gys Belmain, as er lhiurid veih Bethulia gys Cy[n]amon ta jeeragh er Esdraelon.
|
3 And they camped in the valley near unto Bethulia, by the fountain, and they spread themselves in breadth over Dothaim even to Belmaim, and in length from Bethulia unto Cynamon, which is over against Esdraelon.
|
|
4 Nish tra honnick cloan Israel yn chaglym oc, v'ad dy mooar seaghnit, as dooyrt dagh unnane rish e naboo, Nish nee ny deiney shoh shliee seose eddin ny hooirrey; son chamoo ta ny sleityn ard ny'n coan, ny ny croink fondagh dy ymmyrkey'n trimmid oc.
|
4 Now the children of Israel, when they saw the multitude of them, were greatly troubled, and said every one to his neighbour, Now will these men lick up the face of the earth; for neither the high mountains, nor the valleys, nor the hills, are able to bear their weight.
|
|
5 Eisht ghow dy chooilley ghooinney seose e wappinyn-caggee, as tra v'ad er n'oaddey aileyn er ny tooryn, duirree ad as dreill ad arrey fud-ny-hoie shen.
|
5 Then every man took up his weapons of war, and when they had kindled fires upon their towers, they remained and watched all that night.
|
|
6 Agh er yn nah laa hug Holofernes magh ooilley e varkee ayns shilley da cloan Israel v'ayns Bethulia,
|
6 But in the second day Holofernes brought forth all his horsemen in the sight of the children of Israel which were in Bethulia,
|
|
7 As ghow eh baght jeh ny raaidyn seose gys yn ard-valley, as haink eh gys ny farraneyn ushtey oc, as ghow eh ad, as hoie eh sauchysyn dy gheiney-caggee harroo, as scugh eshyn eh-hene gys e phobble.
|
7 And viewed the passages up to the city, and came to the fountains of their waters, and took them, and set garrisons of men of war over them, and he himself removed toward his people.
|
|
8 Eisht haink huggey ooilley'n ard-eallagh jeh cloan Esau, as ooilley kiannoortyn pobble Voab, as ny captanyn v'er ardjyn ny marrey, as dooyrt ad,
|
8 Then came unto him all the chief of the children of Esau, and all the governors of the people of Moab, and the captains of the sea coast, and said,
|
|
9 Lhig da nyn jiarn nish fockle y chlashtyn, nagh bee dty heshaght-caggee tilgit bun-ry-skyn.
|
9 Let our lord now hear a word, that there be not an overthrow in thine army.
|
|
10 Son cha vel yn pobble shoh jeh cloan Israel coyrt barrant ayns shleiyghyn, agh ayns yrjid ny sleityn raad t'ad cummal, er-y-fa nagh vel eh aashagh dy heet seose gys mullagh ny sleityn oc.
|
10 For this people of the children of Israel do not trust in their spears, but in the height of the mountains wherein they dwell, because it is not easy to come up to the tops of their mountains.
|
|
11 Nish er-y-fa shen, my hiarn, nagh immee laue roo ayns aght-caggee, as cha jean wheesh as un dooinney jeh dty phobble cherraghtyn.
|
11 Now therefore, my lord, fight not against them in battle array, and there shall not so much as one man of thy people perish.
|
|
12 Fuirree ayns dty champ, as freill ooilley [deiney] dty heshaght-caggee, as lhig da dty harvaantyn gheddyn ayns nyn laueyn yn farrane ushtey ta geill magh ass bun y clieau:
|
12 Remain in thy camp, and keep all the men of thine army, and let thy servants get into their hands the fountain of water, which issueth forth of the foot of the mountain:
|
|
13 (Son ta ooilley cummaltee Vethulia geddyn nyn ushtey veih shen); myr shen nee paa-ys ad y varroo, as ver ad seose yn ard-valley, as hed mainyn as y pobble ain seose gys mullagh ny sleityn t'er-gerrey, as campal orroo dy reayll arrey nagh jed veg magh ass yn ard-valley.
|
13 For all the inhabitants of Bethulia have their water thence; so shall thirst kill them, and they shall give up their city, and we and our people shall go up to the tops of the mountains that are near, and will camp upon them, to watch that none go out of the city.
|
|
14 Myr shen dy bee adsyn as nyn mraane as nyn gloan neeu lesh y ghortey, as roish my jig y cliwe noi oc, bee ad castit ayns ny straidyn raad t'ad cummal.
|
14 So they and their wives and their children shall be consumed with fire, and before the sword come against them, they shall be overthrown in the streets where they dwell.
|
|
15 Myr shoh ver oo daue leagh nyn olkys; er-y-fa dy row ad mee-viallagh, as nagh daink ad dty whail’s ayns shee.
|
15 Thus shalt thou render them an evil reward; because they rebelled, and met not thy person peaceably.
|
|
16 As by-haittyn lesh Holofernes as ooilley e harvaantyn ny goan shoh, as doardee ad dy yannoo myr v'ad er ghra.
|
16 And these words pleased Holofernes and all his servants, and he appointed to do as they had spoken.
|
|
17 Myr shen hie camp cloan Ammon roue, as maroosyn queig thousaneyn jeh ny Assyrianee, as chum ad orroo 'sy choan, as ghow ad ny ushtaghyn, as ny farraneyn ushtey Voish cloan Israel.
|
17 So the camp of the children of Ammon departed, and with them five thousand of the Assyrians, and they pitched in the valley, and took the waters, and the fountains of the waters of the children of Israel.
|
|
18 Eisht hie cloan Esau seose marish cloan Ammon as champ ad ayns cheer-ny-gronk jeeragh er Dothaim: as hug ad ayrn jeu my-yiass, as lesh y shiar, jeeragh er Ekrebel, ta faggys da Chusi, t'er y trooan Mochmur; as champ yn chooid elley jeh sheshaght-caggee ny Assyrianee ’sy thalloo rea, as choodee ad slane eaghtyr y thallooin; as va nyn gabbaneyn as nyn garraidsyn sheshaght feer vooar.
|
18 Then the children of Esau went up with the children of Ammon, and camped in the hill country over against Dothaim: and they sent some of them toward the south, and toward the east over against Ekrebel, which is near unto Chusi, that is upon the brook Mochmur; and the rest of the army of the Assyrians camped in the plain, and covered the face of the whole land; and their tents and carriages were pitched to a very great multitude.
|
|
19 Eisht deie cloan Israel gys y Chiarn nyn Yee, er-y-fa dy d'aill ad ayns cree, son va ooilley nyn noidyn er chruinnaghey ad runt mygeayrt, as cha row aght erbee ayn dy chosney magh veih ny mast'oc.
|
19 Then the children of Israel cried unto the Lord their God, because their heart failed, for all their enemies had compassed them round about, and there was no way to escape out from among them.
|
|
20 Myr shoh duirree ooilley Assur mygeayrt-y-moo, chammah nyn gheiney-coshee, fainee, as markee, kiare laa yeig as feed, myr shen dy d'aill ooilley nyn siyn ushtey da ooilley cummaltee Vethulia.
|
20 Thus all the company of Assur remained about them, both their footmen, chariots, and horsemen, four and thirty days, so that all their vessels of water failed all the inhibitants of Bethulia.
|
|
21 As va ny chibbraghyn folmit, as cha row ushtey nyn saie oc dy iu son un laa; son va'n ushtey er ny howse magh daue.
|
21 And the cisterns were emptied, and they had not water to drink their fill for one day; for they gave them drink by measure.
|
|
22 Shen-y-fa va'n chloan aegey oc ass cree, as ren ny mraane as ny deiney aegey oc gannooinaghey lesh paays, as tuittym sheese ayns straidyn yn ard-valley, as liorish beeal ny giattyn, as cha row veg sodjey niart erbee ayndoo.
|
22 Therefore their young children were out of heart, and their women and young men fainted for thirst, and fell down in the streets of the city, and by the passages of the gates, and there was no longer any strength in them.
|
|
23 Eisht haggil ooilley yn pobble gys Osias, as gys deiney mooarey yn ard-valley, chammah deiney aegey as mraane, as cloan, as dyllee ad lesh ard-choraa, as dooyrt ad kiongoyrt rish ooilley ny shanstyryn,
|
23 Then all the people assembled to Ozias, and to the chief of the city, both young men, and women, and children, and cried with a loud voice, and said before all the elders,
|
|
24 Dy jean Jee briwnys eddyr shinyn as shiuish: son ta shiu er n'yannoo dooin mooads aggair, ayns nagh vel shiu er yeearree shee jeh cloan Assur.
|
24 God be judge between us and you: for ye have done us great injury, in that ye have not required peace of the children of Assur.
|
|
25 Son nish cha vel ain fer-choonee erbee; agh ta Jee er chreck shin gys ny laueyn oc, dy ve lhieggit sheese kiongoyrt roo lesh paa-ys as toyrt-mowys mooar.
|
25 For now we have no helper: but God hath sold us into their hands, that we should be thrown down before them with thirst and great destruction.
|
|
26 Nish er-y-fa shen eie-jee orroo hiu, as livrey-jee yn ard-valley as y clane son spooilley da pobble Holofernes, as da ooilley e heshaght-caggee.
|
26 Now therefore call them unto you, and deliver the whole city for a spoil to the people of Holofernes, and to all his army.
|
|
27 Son te ny share dooin dy ve spooilley daue, na dy ve marroo lesh y phaa-ys: son bee mayd e harvaantyn, dy vod nyn anmeenyn ve bio, as gyn dy akin ny oikanyn ain geddyn vaaish roish nyn sooillyn, ny nyn mraane, as nyn gloan dy ve marroo.
|
27 For it is better for us to be made a spoil unto them, than to die for thirst: for we will be his servants, that our souls may live, and not see the death of our infants before our eyes, nor our wives nor our children to die.
|
|
28 Ta shin goaill feanish noi eu, e[e]r niau as thalloo, as nyn Yee as Chiarn nyn ayraghyn, ta dy nyn gerraghey cordail rish ny peccaghyn ain, as peccaghyn nyn ayraghyn, nagh jean eh cordail rish ny ta shin er ghra yn laa shoh.
|
28 We take to witness against you the heaven and the earth, and our God and Lord of our fathers, which punisheth us according to our sins and the sins of our fathers, that he do not according as we have said this day.
|
|
29 Eisht va dobberan hreih lesh un aigney mast' yn chaglym cooidjagh; as deie ad gys y Chiarn Jee lesh coraa ard.
|
29 Then there was great weeping with one consent in the midst of the assembly; and they cried unto the Lord God with a loud voice.
|
|
30 Eisht dooyrt Osias roo, Vraaraghyn, bee-jee dy yien mie, lhig dooin foast shassoo magh queig laa, ’sy traa shen foddee dy jean nyn Jiarn Jee e vyghin 'hyndaa hooin; son cha jean eh shin y hreigeil dy bollagh.
|
30 Then said Ozias to them, Brethren, be of good courage, let us yet endure five days, in the which space the Lord our God may turn his mercy toward us; for he will not forsake us utterly.
|
|
31 As my hig ny laghyn shoh shaghey, as gyn cooney erbee dy heet hooin, neem's jannoo cordail rish y fockle euish.
|
31 And if these days pass, and there come no help unto us, I will do according to your word.
|
|
32 As skeayl eh yn pobble, dagh unnane gys e churrym hene; as jimmee ad gys voallaghyn as tooryn nyn ard-valley, as hug ad ny mraane as paitchyn stiagh ayns nyn dhieyn: as v’ad tayrnit feer injil 'syn ard-valley.
|
32 And he dispersed the people, every one to their own charge; and they went unto the walls and towers of their city, and sent the women and children into their houses: and they were very low brought in the city.

|
1 Now at that time Judith heard thereof, which was the daughter of Merari, the son of Ox, the son of Joseph, the son of Ozel, the son of Elcia, the son of Ananias, the son of Gedeon, the son of Raphaim, the son of Acitho, the son of Eliu, the son of Eliab, the son of Nathanael, the son of Samael, the son of Salasadal, the son of Israel.
|
|
2 As Manasses va'n dooinney poost eck, jeh'n tribe as y kynney eck-hene, quoi hooar baase ayns imbagh y fouyr-oarn.

2 And Manasses was her husband, of her tribe and kindred, who died in the barley harvest.

|
3 For as he stood overseeing them that bound sheaves in the field, the heat came upon his head, and he fell on his bed, and died in the city of Bethulia: and they buried him with his fathers in the field between Dothaim and Balamo.
|
|
4 Myr shen dy row Judith ny ben-treoghe ec e thie three bleeaney as kiare meeaghyn.
|
4 So Judith was a widow in her house three years and four months.
|
|
5 As hrog e[e] cabbane er mullagh e thie as hug ee aanrit-sack er e meeghyn, as cheau ee [e] coamrey ben-treoghe.
|
5 And she made her a tent upon the top of her house, and put on sackcloth upon her loins and ware her widow's apparel.
|
|
6 As hrosht ee ooilley laghyn e treoghys, er-lhimmey jeh ny oieghyn doonee, as ny dooneeyn, as oie[ghyn ny eaystyn noa, as] ny eaystyn noa, as ny feaillaghyn as laghyn casherick thie Israel.
|
6 And she fasted all the days of her widowhood, save the eves of the sabbaths, and the sabbaths, and the eves of the new moons, and the new moons and the feasts and solemn days of the house of Israel.
|
|
7 V'ee myrgeddin lesh neeal bwaagh as feer aalin gys y thooill: as daag e sheshey Manasses airh as argid j'ee, as sharvaantyn-fyrryn, as sharvaantyn-bwoirryn, as maase, as ynnydyn thallooin; as duirree ee ayndoo.
|
7 She was also of a goodly countenance, and very beautiful to behold: and her husband Manasses had left her gold, and silver, and menservants and maidservants, and cattle, and lands; and she remained upon them.
|
|
8 As cha row unnane dy dug drogh ockle j'ee; son v'ee dy mooar ayns aggle Yee.
|
8 And there was none that gave her an ill word; as she feared God greatly.
|

9 Nish tra v'ee er chlashtyn drogh hengey yn sleih noi'n kiannoort, son dy row ad annoon laccal ushtey (son va Judith er chlashtyn jeh ooilley ny goan va Osias er loayrt roo, as dy row eh er loo dy livrey yn ard-valley gys ny Assyrianee lurg queig laa):
|
9 Now when she heard the evil words of the people against the governor, that they fainted for lack of water; for Judith had heard all the words that Ozias had spoken unto them, and that he had sworn to deliver the city unto the Assyrians after five days;
|
|
10 Eisht hug ee yn ven ren tendeil urree, as va jeeaghyn harrish dy chooilley nhee v'eck, dy eamagh er Osias, as Chabris, as Charmis, shanstyryn yn ard-valley.
|
10 Then she sent her waitingwoman, that had the government of all things that she had, to call Ozias and Chabris and Charmis, the ancients of the city.
|
|
11 As haink ad huic, as dooyrt ee roo, O shiuish ta reill cummaltee Vethulia: son ny goan ta shiuish er loayrt kiongoyrt rish y pobble yn laa shoh cha vel ad cairagh, bentyn gys y loo shoh ta shiu er n'yannoo, as er n'ockley-magh eddyr Jee as shiu hene, as er yialdyn dy livrey yn ard-valley gys nyn noidyn, ny-slooid ny nee'n Chiarn cheu-sthie jeh ny laghyn shoh chyndaa dy chooney lhieu.
|
11 And they came unto her, and she said unto them, Hear me now, O ye governors of the inhabitants of Bethulia: for your words that ye have spoken before the people this day are not right, touching this oath which ye made and pronounced between God and you, and have promised to deliver the city to our enemies, unless within these days the Lord turn to help you.
|
|
12 As nish quoi shiuish t'er n'yannoo daanys er Jee yn laa shoh, as ta shassoo ayns leih Yee mastey cloan gheiney?

12 And now who are ye that have tempted God this day, and stand instead of God among the children of men?
|
|
13 As nish prow-jee yn Chiarn Ooilley-Niartal, agh cha vow shiu dy bragh fys er nhee erbee.

13 And now try the Lord Almighty, but ye shall never know any thing.

|
14 For ye cannot find the depth of the heart of man, neither can ye perceive the things that he thinketh: then how can ye search out God, that hath made all these things, and know his mind, or comprehend his purpose? Nay, my brethren, provoke not the Lord our God to anger.
|
|
15 Son mannagh goon eh lhien cheu-sthie jeh ny queig laa shoh, ta pooar echey dy endeil shin tra saillish, eer dy chooilley laa, ny dy stroie shin roish nyn noidyn.

15 For if he will not help us within these five days, he hath power to defend us when he will, even every day, or to destroy us before our enemies.
|
|
16 Nagh soie-jee caglagh gys creenaght y Chiarn y Jee ain: son cha vel Jee myr dooinney, dy vod eh ve er ny vaggyrt; chamoo t'eh goll-rish mac dooinney dy jinnagh eh leaystey.
|
16 Do not bind the counsels of the Lord our God: for God is not as man, that he may be threatened; neither is he as the son of man, that he should be wavering.
|
|
17 Shen-y-fa lhig dooin farkiaght son saualtys voishyn, as eamagh er dy chooney lhian, as clynnee eh nyn goraa, my s'cooidsave lesh.

17 Therefore let us wait for salvation of him, and call upon him to help us, and he will hear our voice, if it please him.
|
|
18 Son cha hrog unnane 'sy traa ainyn, chamoo ta veg nish ayns ny laghyn shoh, edyr tribe, ny lught-thie, ny pobble, ny ard-valley, ny mast' ain ta cur ooashley da jeeghyn jeant lesh laueyn, myr t'er ny ve roish nish.
|
18 For there arose none in our age, neither is there any now in these days neither tribe, nor family, nor people, nor city among us, which worship gods made with hands, as hath been aforetime.
|
|
19 Son yn oyr cheddin va nyn ayraghyn livreit gys y chliwe, as son spooilley, as v'oc lhieggey mooar roish nyn noidyn.

19 For the which cause our fathers were given to the sword, and for a spoil, and had a great fall before our enemies.
|
|
20 Agh cha nhione dooinyn Jee erbee elley; shen-y-fa ta shin treishteil nagh soie eh beg jin, ny jeh veg jeh'n ashoon ain.

20 But we know none other god, therefore we trust that he will not despise us, nor any of our nation.

21 For if we be taken so, all Judea shall lie waste, and our sanctuary shall be spoiled; and he will require the profanation thereof at our mouth.

|
22 And the slaughter of our brethren, and the captivity of the country, and the desolation of our inheritance, will he turn upon our heads among the Gentiles, wheresoever we shall be in bondage; and we shall be an offence and a reproach to all them that possess us.
|
|
23 Son cha bee'n vondiaght ain er ny leeideil gys foayr: agh nee'n Chiarn nyn Yee eh y hyndaa gys mee-ooashley.
|
23 For our servitude shall not be directed to favour: but the Lord our God shall turn it to dishonour.
|

|
24 Now therefore, O brethren, let us shew an example to our brethren, because their hearts depend upon us, and the sanctuary, and the house, and the altar, rest upon us.
|
|
25 Ny sodjey na shoh, lhig dooin booise y choyrt da'n Chiarn nyn Yee, ta prowal shin, eer myr ren eh nyn ayraghyn.

25 Moreover let us give thanks to the Lord our God, which trieth us, even as he did our fathers.
|
|
26 Cooinee-jee cre ny reddyn ren eh rish Abraham, as kys phrow eh Isaac, as cre haghyr da Jacob ayns Misopotamia ayns Syria, tra dreill eh kirree Laban braar e vayrey.

26 Remember what things he did to Abraham, and how he tried Isaac, and what happened to Jacob in Mesopotamia of Syria, when he kept the sheep of Laban his mother's brother.
|
|
27 Son cha vel eh er phrowal shin 'syn aile, myr ren eh adsyn, dy ronsagh ny creeghyn oc, chamoo t'eh er ghoaill kerraghey orrin: agh ta'n Chiarn smaghtaghey adsyn ta tayrn er-gerrey da, son dy chur ayns kiarail ad.
|
27 For he hath not tried us in the fire, as he did them, for the examination of their hearts, neither hath he taken vengeance on us: but the Lord doth scourge them that come near unto him, to admonish them.
|
|
28 Eisht dooyrt Osias ree, Ooilley ny t'ou er ghra, t’ou er ghra lesh cree mie, son cha vel unnane oddys loayrt noi dty ghoan.

28 Then said Ozias to her, All that thou hast spoken hast thou spoken with a good heart, and there is none that may gainsay thy words.
|
|
29 Son cha nee shoh yn chied laa ayn ta dty chreenaght er ny akin; agh voish toshiaght dty laghyn bione da ooilley'n pobble dty cheeayl, er-y-fa dy vel yn eearree-cree ayd mie.

29 For this is not the first day wherein thy wisdom is manifested; but from the beginning of thy days all the people have known thy understanding, because the disposition of thine heart is good.
|
|
30 Agh va'n pobble feer phaa, as deignee ad shin dy yannoo daue myr ta shin er loayrt, as dy ghoaill orrin-hene loo, cooid nagh jean mayd y vrishey.

30 But the people were very thirsty, and compelled us to do unto them as we have spoken, and to bring an oath upon ourselves, which we will not break.
|
|
31 Shen-y-fa nish, guee uss er-nyn-son, er-yn-oyr as dy vel oo ben crauee, as ver y Chiarn fliaghey hooin dy lhieeney ny siyn ain, as cha jean mayd arragh failleil.

31 Therefore now pray thou for us, because thou art a godly woman, and the Lord will send us rain to fill our cisterns, and we shall faint no more.
|
|
32 Eisht dooyrt Judith roo, Eaisht-jee rhym's, as neem's red y yannoo, hed trooid-magh dy chooilley heeloghe gys cloan yn ashoon ain.

32 Then said Judith unto them, Hear me, and I will do a thing, which shall go throughout all generations to the children of our nation.
|
|
33 Nee shiuish shassoo noght 'sy yiat, as hem's magh marish my inney-veyl: as cheu-sthie jeh ny laghyn ta shiuish er yialdyn dy livrey yn ard-valley gys nyn noidyn ver y Chiarn couyr da Israel liorish y laue aym's.

33 Ye shall stand this night in the gate, and I will go forth with my waitingwoman: and within the days that ye have promised to deliver the city to our enemies the Lord will visit Israel by mine hand.
|
|
34 Agh nagh brie shiuish veg mychione cre nee'm: son cha ninsh-ym diu, derrey vees ny reddyn ta mee dy yannoo cooilleenit.

34 But enquire not ye of mine act: for I will not declare it unto you, till the things be finished that I do.

|
35 Eisht dooyrt Osias as ny princeyn ree, Immee ayns shee, as y Chiarn Jee dy Israel dy row mayrt, dy ghoaill kerraghey er ny noidyn ain.

35 Then said Ozias and the princes unto her, Go in peace, and the Lord God be before thee, to take vengeance on our enemies.
|
|
36 Myr shen hyndaa ad reesht veih'n chabbane, as jimmee ad gys nyn gurrym.
|
36 So they returned from the tent, and went to their wards.

1 Eisht huitt Judith er e heddin, as hug ee leoie er e kione, as rooisht ee jee yn aanrit-sack lesh v'ee coamrit; as mysh traa va oural-millish yn fastyr shen er ny hebbal ayns Jerusalem, ayns thie'n Chiarn, deie Judith lesh ard-choraa, as dooyrt ee,
|
1 Judith fell upon her face, and put ashes upon her head, and uncovered the sackcloth wherewith she was clothed; and about the time that the incense of that evening was offered in Jerusalem in the house of the Lord Judith cried with a loud voice, and said,
|
|
2 O Hiarn Yee dy m'ayr Simeon, da hug oo cliwe dy ghoaill kerraghey er ny joarreeyn, ren cryss ben aeg y eaysley dy ghoaill er egin ee, as yn cleeaysid y roostey gys y nearey eck, as vhill yn voidynys eck dy hayrn scammylt urree; son dooyrt uss, Cha negin da ve myr shen, (as foast shen myr ren ad:)
|
2 O Lord God of my father Simeon, to whom thou gavest a sword to take vengeance of the strangers, who loosened the girdle of a maid to defile her, and discovered the thigh to her shame, and polluted her virginity to her reproach; for thou saidst, It shall not be so; and yet they did so:
|
|
3 Shen-y-fa hug oo ny reiltee oc dy ve currit gy baase, myr shen dy ren ad nyn lhiabbee y ghaaghey ayns fuill, kyndagh rish nyn molteyrys, as va ny sharvaantyn stroit marish nyn jiarnyn, as ny chiarnyn er nyn stuill-reeoil;
|
3 Wherefore thou gavest their rulers to be slain, so that they dyed their bed in blood, being deceived, and smotest the servants with their lords, and the lords upon their thrones;
|
|
4 As t'ou er choyrt ny mraane oc son cragh, as ny inneenyn oc son cappee, as ooilley ny spooillaghyn oc dy ve rheynnit mastey dty chloan ennoil; quoi va gleashit lesh y ghraih jeean ayds, as va dwoaie oc er mhilley nyn uilliaght, as deie orts son cooney: O Yee, O my Yee, cur clashtyn dooys myrgeddin ta my ven-treoghe.
|
4 And hast given their wives for a prey, and their daughters to be captives, and all their spoils to be divided among thy dear children; which were moved with thy zeal, and abhorred the pollution of their blood, and called upon thee for aid: O God, O my God, hear me also a widow.
|
|
5 Son t'ou uss er n'yannoo cha nee ny-lomarcan ny reddyn shoh, agh myrgeddin ny reddyn haink gy kione roie, as ny reddyn haink ny lurg shen; t'ou er n'ghoaill baght jeh ny reddyn ta nish ayn, as shen ny ta ry-heet.
|
5 For thou hast wrought not only those things, but also the things which fell out before, and which ensued after; thou hast thought upon the things which are now, and which are to come.
|
|
6 Dy jarroo, ny reddyn chiare oo v'ad aarloo ec laue, as dooyrt ad, Cur-my-ner, ta shin ayns shoh: son ta ooilley dty raaidyn hannah jeant aarloo, as ta dty vriwnysyn ayds ayns dty ysseree.
|
6 Yea, what things thou didst determine were ready at hand, and said, Lo, we are here: for all thy ways are prepared, and thy judgments are in thy foreknowledge.
|
|
7 Son cur-my-ner, ta ny Assyrianee er vishaghey ayns nyn booar; t'ad er vooadaghey lesh cabbil as deiney; t'ad gloyraghey ayns niart nyn gheiney-coshee; t'ad treishteil ayns scape, as shleiy, as bow, as shling; as cha nhione daue dy nee uss y Chiarn ta brishey ny caggaghyn: yn Chiarn yn ennym ayd.
|
7 For, behold, the Assyrians are multiplied in their power; they are exalted with horse and man; they glory in the strength of their footmen; they trust in shield, and spear, and bow, and sling; and know not that thou art the Lord that breakest the battles: the Lord is thy name.
|
|
8 Ceau sheese y niart oc ayns dty phooar, as cur lhiat sheese y tranlaase oc ayns dty eulys: son t'ad kiarit dy yannoo neu-ghlen jeh dty ynnyd casherick, as dy vhilley dty chabbane-agglish raad ta dt'ennym gloyroil goaill fea, as dy hilgey sheese lesh y chliwe eairk dt’altar.
|
8 Throw down their strength in thy power, and bring down their force in thy wrath: for they have purposed to defile thy sanctuary, and to pollute the tabernacle where thy glorious name resteth and to cast down with sword the horn of thy altar.
|
|
9 Jeeagh er y voyrn oc, as cur magh jeh dt'eulys er ny king oc: cur ayns my laue's, ta my ven-treoghe, yn phooar shen ta mee er n'ghoaill ayns m'aigney.
|
9 Behold their pride, and send thy wrath upon their heads: give into mine hand, which am a widow, the power that I have conceived.
|
|
10 Bwoaill liorish miol my veillyn's yn charvaant marish y prince, as y prince marish y charvaant: brish sheese yn staydoillys oc liorish laue ben.
|
10 Smite by the deceit of my lips the servant with the prince, and the prince with the servant: break down their stateliness by the hand of a woman.
|
|
11 Son cha vel yn phooar ayds shassoo ayns ymmodee, ny dty niart ayns deiney lajer: son t'ou yn Jee ocsyn t'ayns seaghyn, fer-coonee dauesyn ta tranlaasit, cummal seose ny annoonee, yn coadey ocsyn ta treigit, yn saualtagh ocsyn ta gyn treishteil.
|
11 For thy power standeth not in multitude nor thy might in strong men: for thou art a God of the afflicted, an helper of the oppressed, an upholder of the weak, a protector of the forlorn, a saviour of them that are without hope.
|
|
12 Ta mee guee ort, ta mee guee ort, O Yee m'ayrey, as Yee jeh'n eiragh[t] dy Israel, Chiarn jeh niau as thalloo, Fer-croo ny ushtaghyn, Ree dy chooilley chretoor, cur uss clashtyn da my phadjer:
|
12 I pray thee, I pray thee, O God of my father, and God of the inheritance of Israel, Lord of the heavens and earth, Creator of the waters, king of every creature, hear thou my prayer:
|
|
13 As jean my ghlare croutagh dy ve lhott as custhey dauesyn, t'er chiarail reddyn dewil noi dty chonaant, as dty hie casherick, as noi mullagh Sion, as noi thie cummal dty chloan.
|
13 And make my speech and deceit to be their wound and stripe, who have purposed cruel things against thy covenant, and thy hallowed house, and against the top of Sion, and against the house of the possession of thy children.
|
|
14 As cur er dy chooilley ashoon as tribe dy ghoaill rish dy nee oo yn Jee jeh dy chooilley phooar as niart, as nagh vel unnane erbee elley ta coadey Israel agh uss.
|
14 And make every nation and tribe to acknowledge that thou art the God of all power and might, and that there is none other that protecteth the people of Israel but thou.

1 Nish lurg j'ee v'er s[c]uirr dy eamagh gys y Chiarn dy Israel, as er n'yannoo jerrey er ooilley ny goan shoh,
|
1 Now after that she had ceased to cry unto the God of Israel, and had made an end of all these words.
|
|
2 Dirree ee raad v'ee er duittym sheese, as dyllee ee er e hinney-veyl, as jimmee ee sheese gys y thie ayn ren ee cummal er ny laghyn-doonee, as ny laghyn-feailley eck,
|
2 She rose where she had fallen down, and called her maid, and went down into the house in the which she abode in the sabbath days, and in her feast days,
|
|
3 As cheau ee jee yn aanrit-sack v'urree, as hug ee jee garmadyn e treoghys, as niee ee e corp ooilley harrish lesh ushtey, as d'ooillee ee ee-hene lesh ooill deyr, as fee ee folt e kione, as hug ee quoif er, as hug ee urree e garmadyn dy ghennallys, lhieu v'ee er ny coamrey choud's va Manasses e sheshey bio.
|
3 And pulled off the sackcloth which she had on, and put off the garments of her widowhood, and washed her body all over with water, and anointed herself with precious ointment, and braided the hair of her head, and put on a tire upon it, and put on her garments of gladness, wherewith she was clad during the life of Manasses her husband.
|
|
4 As hug ee braagyn er e cassyn, as hug ee mo’ee e boandaghyn-mhuinneel, as e fainaghyn-cleayshey, as ooilley e jesheenyn, as ren ee ee-hene y hoiaghey magh dy braew, son dy chleaynaghey sooillyn dy chooilley ghooinney yinnagh fakin ee.
|
4 And she took sandals upon her feet, and put about her her bracelets, and her chains, and her rings, and her earrings, and all her ornaments, and decked herself bravely, to allure the eyes of all men that should see her.
|
|
5 Eisht hug ee da e hinney-veyl boteil feeyney, as cruishtin dy ooill, as poagey lhieent lesh arroo greddanit, as cruint dy figgyn, as lesh arran mie; myr shen dhill ee ooilley ny reddyn shoh cooidjagh, as hug ee urree ad.
|
5 Then she gave her maid a bottle of wine, and a cruse of oil, and filled a bag with parched corn, and lumps of figs, and with fine bread; so she folded all these things together, and laid them upon her.
|
|
6 Myr shoh hie ad magh gys giat ard-valley Vethulia, as hooar ad ny shassoo ayns shen Osias, as shanstyryn yn ard-valley, Chabris as Charmis.
|
6 Thus they went forth to the gate of the city of Bethulia, and found standing there Ozias and the ancients of the city, Chabris and Charmis.
|
|
7 As tra honnick ad ee, dy row yn eddin eck ceaghlit, as e coamrey er ny chaghlaa, ghow ad yindys mooar jeh’n aalid eck, as dooyrt ad ree,
|
7 And when they saw her, that her countenance was altered, and her apparel was changed, they wondered at her beauty very greatly, and said unto her.
|
|
8 Dy der Jee, Jee nyn ayraghyn, foayr dhyt, as shen ny t'ou er ghoaill ayns laue y chooilleeney gys gloyr cloan Israel, as gys yrjagh Yerusalem; eisht hug ad ooashley da Jee.
|
8 The God, the God of our fathers give thee favour, and accomplish thine enterprizes to the glory of the children of Israel, and to the exaltation of Jerusalem. Then they worshipped God.
|
|
9 As dooyrt ish roo, Cur-jee sarey giattyn yn ard-valley dy [ve] foshlit dou, dy vod-ym goll magh son dy chooilleeney shen jeu ren shiu loayrt rhym; myr shen hug ad sarey da ny deiney aegey ad dy osley j'ee, myr v'ee er ghra.
|
9 And she said unto them, Command the gates of the city to be opened unto me, that I may go forth to accomplish the things whereof ye have spoken with me. So they commanded the young men to open unto her, as she had spoken.
|
|
10 As tra v'ad er n'yannoo shen, hie Judith magh, ish as e hinney-veyl maree; as yeeagh deiney yn ard-valley geiyrt urree, derrey v'ee ersooyl sheese jeh'n clieau, as derrey v'ee er n'gholl shaghey'n coan, as nagh bleayr daue ee ny sodjey.
|
10 And when they had done so, Judith went out, she, and her maid with her; and the men of the city looked after her, until she was gone down the mountain, and till she had passed the valley, and could see her no more.
|
|
11 Myr shoh jimmee ad jeeragh magh ’sy choan: as veeit yn chied arrey jeh ny Assyrianee ee,
|
11 Thus they went straight forth in the valley: and the first watch of the Assyrians met her,
|
|
12 As ghow ad ee, as denee ad jee, Cre'n sleih t'ou jeh? as cre voish t'ou er jeet? as cre dys t'ou goll? As dooyrt ee, Ta mish ben jeh ny Hebrewnee, as ta mee er hea voue: son bee ad er ny[n] livrey hiuish dy ve currit mow:
|
12 And took her, and asked her, Of what people art thou? and whence comest thou? and whither goest thou? And she said, I am a woman of the Hebrews, and am fled from them: for they shall be given you to be consumed:
|
|
13 As ta mish cheet kionfenish Holofernes ard-chaptan yn armee euish, dy loayrt focklyn firrinagh; as jeeaghyms da aght liorish nee eh goll, as ooilley cheer-ny-gronk y chosney, fegooish coayl corp ny bioys unnane jeh e gheiney.
|
13 And I am coming before Holofernes the chief captain of your army, to declare words of truth; and I will shew him a way, whereby he shall go, and win all the hill country, without losing the body or life of any one of his men.
|
|
14 Nish tra va ny deiney er chlashtyn ny goan eck, as er n'akin e heddin, ghow ad yindys mooar jeh’n aalid eck as dooyrt ad ree,
|
14 Now when the men heard her words, and beheld her countenance, they wondered greatly at her beauty, and said unto her,
|
|
15 T'ou er hauail dty vioys, ayns dy vel oo er n'yannoo siyr dy heet sheese kionfenish nyn jiarn: nish er-y-fa shen tar gys e chabbane, as hed paart jin lhiat, derrey vees ad er livrey oo gys ny laueyn echey.
|
15 Thou hast saved thy life, in that thou hast hasted to come down to the presence of our lord: now therefore come to his tent, and some of us shall conduct thee, until they have delivered thee to his hands.
|
|
16 As tra vees oo dty hassoo kiongoyrt rish, nagh bee agglit ayns dty chree, agh jeeagh da cordail rish dty ghoo; as ver eh dhyts dellal vie.
|
16 And when thou standest before him, be not afraid in thine heart, but shew unto him according to thy word; and he will entreat thee well.
|
|
17 Eisht reih ad ass-doo-hene keead dooinney dy gholl ry-heshaght mareeish as e hinney-veyl; as hug ad lhieu ee gys cabbane Holofernes.
|
17 Then they chose out of them an hundred men to accompany her and her maid; and they brought her to the tent of Holofernes.
|
|
18 Eisht va cochruinnaghey trooid-magh ooilley'n camp: son va feiyr jeh'n cheet eck mastey ny cabbaneyn, as haink ad mygeayrt-y-mo'ee, myr v'ee ny shassoo cheu-mooie jeh cabbane Holofernes, as dinsh ad da mychione eck.
|
18 Then was there a concourse throughout all the camp: for her coming was noised among the tents, and they came about her, as she stood without the tent of Holofernes, till they told him of her.
|
|
19 As ghow ad yindys jeh'n aalid eck, as v'ad eadolagh jeh cloan Israel by-chyndagh ree, as dooyrt dagh unnane rish e naboo, Quoi hoiagh beg jeh'n pobble shoh, ny mast' oc ta lheid ny mraane? shickyr cha vel eh mie un dooinney jeu dy ve faagit, my yoghe eh raad, oddagh eh miolagh yn slane seihll.
|
19 And they wondered at her beauty, and admired the children of Israel because of her, and every one said to his neighbour, Who would despise this people, that have among them such women? surely it is not good that one man of them be left who being let go might deceive the whole earth.
|
|
20 As hie adsyn va fuirraght liorish Holofernes roue magh, as ooilley e harvaantyn as hug ad lhieu stiagh ee ayns y chabbane.
|
20 And they that lay near Holofernes went out, and all his servants and they brought her into the tent.
|
|
21 Nish va Holofernes goaill 'aash er e lhiabbee fo coodagh, va obbrit lesh gorrym-jiarg, as airh, as emeraldyn, as claghyn deyr.
|
21 Now Holofernes rested upon his bed under a canopy, which was woven with purple, and gold, and emeralds, and precious stones.
|
|
22 Myr shen hoilshee ad da mychione eck; as haink eh magh roish e chabbane lesh lampyn argid goll hoshiaght roish.
|
22 So they shewed him of her; and he came out before his tent with silver lamps going before him.
|

23 As tra va Judith er jeet 'syn enish echeysyn as e harvaantyn ghow ad ooilley mooarane yindys jeh'n cummey aalin eck; as huitt ish sheese er e heddin, as ren ee ammys da: as hrog e harvaantyn seose ee.

23 And when Judith was come before him and his servants they all marvelled at the beauty of her countenance; and she fell down upon her face, and did reverence unto him: and his servants took her up.

|
1 Then said Holofernes unto her, Woman, be of good comfort, fear not in thine heart: for I never hurt any that was willing to serve Nabuchodonosor, the king of all the earth.
|
|
2 Nish er-y-fa shen, mannagh beagh yn pobble ayds ta cummal ayns ny sleityn er hoiagh beg jeem's, cha row mish er hroggal seose my shleiy nyn ’oi: agh t'ad er n'yannoo shoh roo-hene.

2 Now therefore, if thy people that dwelleth in the mountains had not set light by me, I would not have lifted up my spear against them: but they have done these things to themselves.
|
|
3 Agh nish insh dou cre'n-fa t'ou er hea voue, as er jeet hooinyn: son t'ou er heet gys sauchys; bee dy yien mie, bee oo bio noght, as ny-jei shoh:

3 But now tell me wherefore thou art fled from them, and art come unto us: for thou art come for safeguard; be of good comfort, thou shalt live this night, and hereafter:
|
|
4 Son cha jean veg assee dhyt, agh ver ad dellal vie dhyt, myr t'ad dy choyrt da sharvaantyn ree Nabuchodonosor my hiarn.

4 For none shall hurt thee, but entreat thee well, as they do the servants of king Nabuchodonosor my lord.

5 Eisht dooyrt Judith rish, Gow goan dty harvaant, as lhig da dty inney-veyl loayrt ayns dt'enish, as cha ninshym breg erbee da my hiarn yn oie shoh.

5 Then Judith said unto him, Receive the words of thy servant, and suffer thine handmaid to speak in thy presence, and I will declare no lie to my lord this night.
|
|
6 As my nee oo geiyrt er goan dt'inney-veyl, ver Jee lesh yn red gy slane gys kione liorts; as cha jig my hiarn giare jeh e yerkalyn,

6 And if thou wilt follow the words of thine handmaid, God will bring the thing perfectly to pass by thee; and my lord shall not fail of his purposes.

|
7 As Nabuchodonosor king of all the earth liveth, and as his power liveth, who hath sent thee for the upholding of every living thing: for not only men shall serve him by thee, but also the beasts of the field, and the cattle, and the fowls of the air, shall live by thy power under Nabuchodonosor and all his house.

8 For we have heard of thy wisdom and thy policies, and it is reported in all the earth, that thou only art excellent in all the kingdom, and mighty in knowledge, and wonderful in feats of war.
|

9 Now as concerning the matter, which Achior did speak in thy council, we have heard his words; for the men of Bethulia saved him, and he declared unto them all that he had spoken unto thee.
|

10 Therefore, O lord and governor, respect not his word; but lay it up in thine heart, for it is true: for our nation shall not be punished, neither can sword prevail against them, except they sin against their God.
|

11 As nish son nagh bee my hiarn er ny chastey as e chiarail 've jeant gyn ymmyd, ta eer yn baase nish er huittym orroo, as ta nyn beccah er verraghtyn orroo, lesh nee ad nyn Yee y vrasnaghey gys corree, cre erbee'n traa nee ad shen y yannoo nagh vel cooie dy ve jeant:

11 And now, that my lord be not defeated and frustrate of his purpose, even death is now fallen upon them, and their sin hath overtaken them, wherewith they will provoke their God to anger whensoever they shall do that which is not fit to be done:
|
|
12 Son t'ad giare ayns beaghey, as ta ooilley yn ushtey oc er n'aase goan, as t'ad kiarit dy varroo nyn maase, as dy ee ooilley ny reddyn shen ta Jee er vee-lowal daue dy ee liorish e leighyn:
|
12 For their victuals fail them, and all their water is scant, and they have determined to lay hands upon their cattle, and purposed to consume all those things, that God hath forbidden them to eat by his laws:
|
|
13 As t'ad er ghoaill ayns laue dy vaarail ny chied-vessyn jeh'n arroo, as ny jagheenyn feeyney as ooill, v'ad er choyrt er-lheh as er reayll cour ny saggyrtyn ta jannoo shirveish ayns Jerusalem, kiongoyrt rish y Jee ain; rish ny reddyn cheddin cha vel veg jeh'n pobble lowit wheesh as dy ventyn lesh nyn laue.
|
13 And are resolved to spend the firstfruits of the tenths of wine and oil, which they had sanctified, and reserved for the priests that serve in Jerusalem before the face of our God; the which things it is not lawful for any of the people so much as to touch with their hands.
|
|
14 Son t'ad er choyrt feallagh gys Jerusalem, er-yn-oyr as dy vel adsyn ta cummal ayns shen neesht er n'yannoo lheid cheddin, dy choyrt lhieu kied huc voish ny shanstyryn.
|
14 For they have sent some to Jerusalem, because they also that dwell there have done the like, to bring them a licence from the senate.
|
|
15 Nish tra ver ad lhieu fys huc, nee ad chelleeragh yn olk y yannoo, as bee ad livreit hoods dy ve er nyn stroie yn laa cheddin.
|
15 Now when they shall bring them word, they will forthwith do it, and they shall be given to thee to be destroyed the same day.
|
|
16 Shen-y-fa, myr va toiggal aym's dt'inney-veyl jeh ooilley shoh, ta mee er hea veih'n cheshaght oc; as ta Jee er my choyrt son dy yannoo obbraghyn mayrts, jeu gowee yn slane seihll yindys, as ooilley ny chlynnys jeh.
|
16 Wherefore I thine handmaid, knowing all this, am fled from their presence; and God hath sent me to work things with thee, whereat all the earth shall be astonished, and whosoever shall hear it.
|
|
17 Son ta dty harvaant crauee, as shirveish Jee laa as oie: nish er-y-fa shen, my hiarn, fuirr-yms mayrt, as hed dty harvaant magh 'syn oie ayns y choan, as goym padjer gys Jee, as inshee eshyn dooys yn traa vees ad er n'yannoo peccah:
|
17 For thy servant is religious, and serveth the God of heaven day and night: now therefore, my lord, I will remain with thee, and thy servant will go out by night into the valley, and I will pray unto God, and he will tell me when they have committed their sins:
|
|
18 As neem's cheet as soilshee-ym dhyts eh: eish[t] hed oo magh lesh ooilley dty armee, as cha bee veg jeu hassys dt'oi.
|
18 And I will come and shew it unto thee: then thou shalt go forth with all thine army, and there shall be none of them that shall resist thee.
|
|
19 As neem's oo y leeideil trooid mean Yudea, derrey hig oo roish Jerusalem; as nee'm dty stoyl-reill y hoiagh ayns y vean echey; as nee oo ad y imman myr kirree ta fegooish bochil, as cha jean moddey wheesh as fosley ’veeal dt'oi: son va ny reddyn shoh inshit dooys cordail rish my ysseree, as v'ad soilshit dou, as ta mee er my choyrt dy insh dhyt.
|
19 And I will lead thee through the midst of Judea, until thou come before Jerusalem; and I will set thy throne in the midst thereof; and thou shalt drive them as sheep that have no shepherd, and a dog shall not so much as open his mouth at thee: for these things were told me according to my foreknowledge, and they were declared unto me, and I am sent to tell thee.
|
|
20 Eisht bynney lesh Holofernes as ooilley e harvaantyn ny goan eck; as ghow ad yindys mooar jeh'n chreenaght eck as dooyrt ad,
|
20 Then her words pleased Holofernes and all his servants; and they marvelled at her wisdom, and said,
|
|
21 Cha vel lheid y ven veih'n derrey chione jeh’n theihll gys y chione elley, chammah son aalid eddin as goan creeney.
|
21 There is not such a woman from one end of the earth to the other, both for beauty of face, and wisdom of words.
|
|
22 Myrgeddin dooyrt Holofernes ree, Ta Jee er n’yannoo dy mie ayns coyrt uss roish y pobble, dy voddagh niart 've ayns ny laueyn ainyn, as toyrt-mow orroosyn ta soiagh beg jeh my hiarn's.
|
22 Likewise Holofernes said unto her. God hath done well to send thee before the people, that strength might be in our hands and destruction upon them that lightly regard my lord.
|
|
23 As nish t'ou chammah bwaagh ayns dt’eddin, as jesh ayns dt'ocklyn: son shickyrys my nee uss myr t'ou er ghra, bee'n Jee ayds yn Jee aym's, as nee uss cummal ayns thie ree Nabuchodonosor, as bee mooar er ny yannoo jeed trooid y slane seihll.
|
23 And now thou art both beautiful in thy countenance, and witty in thy words: surely if thou do as thou hast spoken thy God shall be my God, and thou shalt dwell in the house of king Nabuchodonosor, and shalt be renowned through the whole earth.

Judith

|
|
Cab. 12
|
|
|
1 Eisht hug eh sarey dy choyrt lhieu stiagh ee raad va ny siyn argid echey soit: as doardee eh dy begin daue gaarlaghey j'ee jeh'n beaghey echey hene, as dy begin j'ee giu jeh’n feeyn echey hene.
|
1 Then he commanded to bring her in where his plate was set; and bade that they should prepare for her of his own meats, and that she should drink of his own wine.
|
|
2 As dooyrt Judith, Cha n'ee-ym jeh shen er aggle dy bee eh oyr peccah; agh vees farral er ny yannoo dou jeh ny reddyn ta mee er choyrt lhiam.
|
2 And Judith said, I will not eat thereof, lest there be an offence: but provision shall be made for me of the things that I have brought.
|
|
3 Eisht dooyrt Holofernes ree, My aillys yn farral t'ayd, kys oddys mainyn 'lheid y chur dhyt? son cha vel unnane marin jeh dty ashoon.
|
3 Then Holofernes said unto her, If thy provision should fail, how should we give thee the like? for there be none with us of thy nation.
|
|
4 Eisht dooyrt Judith rish, Myr ta dt'annym bio, my hiarn, cha baar dty inney-veyl ny reddyn shen t'aym, roish [my] vees y Chiarn er n’obbraghey liorish my laue's ny reddyn shen t'eh er chiarail.
|
4 Then said Judith unto him As thy soul liveth, my lord, thine handmaid shall not spend those things that I have, before the Lord work by mine hand the things that he hath determined.
|
|
5 Eisht hug sharvaantyn Holofernes lhieu stiagh 'sy chabbane ee as chaddil ee derrey'n vean-oie, as dirree ee tra ve er n'gholl lesh cheu arrey yn voghrey.
|
5 Then the servants of Holofernes brought her into the tent, and she slept till midnight, and she arose when it was toward the morning watch,
|
|
6 As hug ee fys gys Holofernes, gra, Lhig da my hiarn nish sarey 'choyrt dy vod dty inney-veyl goll magh gys padjer.
|
6 And sent to Holofernes, saving, Let my lord now command that thine handmaid may go forth unto prayer.
|
|
7 Eisht doardee Holofernes da e ghard gyn ad dy lhiettal ee: myr shen duirree ee 'sy chabbane three laa, as hie ee magh 'syn oie ayns coan Vethulia, as niee ee ee-hene ayns farrane ushtey liorish y champ.
|
7 Then Holofernes commanded his guard that they should not stay her: thus she abode in the camp three days, and went out in the night into the valley of Bethulia, and washed herself in a fountain of water by the camp.
|
|
8 As tra haink ee magh, hir ee er y Chiarn Jee dy Israel eh dy ynsagh j'ee yn aght dy hroggal seose cloan e pobble.
|
8 And when she came out, she besought the Lord God of Israel to direct her way to the raising up of the children of her people.
|
|
9 Myr shen haink ee stiagh glen, as duirree ee 'sy chabbane, derrey ghow ee e beaghey 'syn astyr.
|
9 So she came in clean, and remained in the tent, until she did eat her meat at evening.
|
|
10 As er y chiarroo laa ren Holofernes giens da e harvaantyn hene er-lheh, as cha chuir eh veg jeh ny fir-oik gys y lhongey.
|
10 And in the fourth day Holofernes made a feast to his own servants only, and called none of the officers to the banquet.
|
|
11 Eisht dooyrt eh rish Bagoas yn fer-spoiyt, er e churrym va ooilley ny v'echey, Immee nish, as coyrlee yn ven Hebrewnagh shoh ta mayrt, dy heet stiagh hooin as dy ee as dy iu marin.
|
11 Then said he to Bagoas the eunuch, who had charge over all that he had, Go now, and persuade this Hebrew woman which is with thee, that she come unto us, and eat and drink with us.
|
|
12 Son cur-my-ner, bee eh nearey dooin, my lhigg-ys mayd raad da lheid y ven, fegooish v'er gheddyn y cheshaght eck; son mannagh dayrn mayd hooin ee, gearys ee orrin gys nyn scammylt.
|
12 For, lo, it will be a shame for our person, if we shall let such a woman go, not having had her company; for if we draw her not unto us, she will laugh us to scorn.
|
|
13 Eisht jimmee Bagoas veih kionfenish Holofernes, as haink eh huic, as dooyrt eh, Nagh lhig da'n ven aeg aalin shoh ve agglagh dy heet gys my hiarn, as ooashley 'gheddyn kiongoyrt rish, as dy iu feeyn, as ve reagh marin, as ve jeant yn laa shoh myr unnane jeh’n inneenyn ny Assyrianee ta shirveish ayns thie Nabuchodonosor.
|
13 Then went Bagoas from the presence of Holofernes, and came to her, and he said, Let not this fair damsel fear to come to my lord, and to be honoured in his presence, and drink wine, and be merry with us and be made this day as one of the daughters of the Assyrians, which serve in the house of Nabuchodonosor.
|
|
14 Eisht dooyrt Judith [rish], Quoi ta mish dy derr-in obbal da my hiarn? son shickyrys cre erbee ta e haitnys neem's dy tappee y yannoo, as bee eh my voggey gys laa my vaaish.
|
14 Then said Judith unto him, Who am I now, that I should gainsay my lord? surely whatsoever pleaseth him I will do speedily, and it shall be my joy unto the day of my death.
|
|
15 Myr shen hrog ee urree, as hug ee moo'ee e coamrey as ooilley e garmadyn ben, as hie yn inney-veyl eck as skeayl ee craitnyn meeley er y laare j’ee kiart jeeragh er Holofernes; hooar ee ad voish Bagoas son e hymmyd gagh laa, dy voddagh ee soie gys e bee orroo.
|
15 So she arose, and decked herself with her apparel and all her woman's attire, and her maid went and laid soft skins on the ground for her over against Holofernes, which she had received of Bagoas for her daily use, that she might sit and eat upon them.
|
|
16 Nish tra va Judith er jeet stiagh as er hoie sheese, va cree Holofernes er-cannoo lhee, as v'eh dy mooar geearree yn cheshaght eck; son v'eh farkiaght er caa dy violagh ee, er-dyn laa honnick eh ee.
|
16 Now when Judith came in and sat down, Holofernes his heart was ravished with her, and his mind was moved, and he desired greatly her company; for he waited a time to deceive her, from the day that he had seen her.
|
|
17 As dooyrt Holofernes ree, Iu nish, as bee reagh marin.
|
17 Then said Holofernes unto her, Drink now, and be merry with us.
|
|
18 Eisht dooyrt Judith, Nee’m giu nish, my hiarn, er-yn-oyr as dy vel my vea er ny vooadaghey ayn-yms yn laa shoh, ny smoo na dy chooilley laa neayrys ruggyr mee.
|
18 So Judith said, I will drink now, my lord, because my life is magnified in me this day more than all the days since I was born.
|
|
19 Eisht ghow ee as ren ee gee as giu kiongoyrt rish jeh shen ny va'n ven aeg eck-hene er n’aarlaghey j'ee.
|
19 Then she took and ate and drank before him what her maid had prepared.
|
|
20 As ghow Holofernes taitnys mooar ayn-jee, as d'iu eh lane smoo dy feeyn ny v'eh er n'iu ec keayrt erbee ayns laa neayrys ruggyr eh.
|
20 And Holofernes took great delight in her, and drank more wine than he had drunk at any time in one day since he was born.
|
|
Judith
|
|
|
Cab. 13
|
|
|
1 Nish tra va'n astyr er jeet, ren e harvaantyn siyr dy gholl rhymboo, as ghooin Bagoas e chabbane cheu-mooie, as hug eh ny tendeilee er-sooyl veih kionefenish e hiarn, as jimmee ad gys nyn lhiabbaghyn: son v'ad ooilley tooillit, er-y-fa dy row yn giens er ny ve choud.
|
1 Now when the evening was come, his servants made haste to depart, and Bagoas shut his tent without, and dismissed the waiters from the presence of his lord; and they went to their beds: for they were all weary, because the feast had been long.
|
|
2 As va Judith faagit ny lomarcan 'sy chabbane, as va Holofernes ny lhie sheeynt er e lhiabbee: son v'eh lhome-lane dy feeyn.
|
2 And Judith was left alone in the tent, and Holofernes lying alone upon his bed: for he was filled with wine.
|
|
3 Nish hug Judith sarey da e hinney-veyl dy hassoo cheu-mooie jeh e shamyr-lhiabbagh, as dy uirraght son eckish dy heet magh, myr ren ee gagh laa: son dooyrt ee dy darragh ee magh gys e padjeryn, as loayr ee rish Bagoas gys y chione cheddin.
|
3 Now Judith had commanded her maid to stand without her bedchamber, and to wait for her. coming forth, as she did daily: for she said she would go forth to her prayers, and she spake to Bagoas according to the same purpose.
|
|
4 Myr shen jimmee [ad] ooilley magh, as cha row unnane faagit 'sy chamyr-lhiabbagh, edyr beg ny mooar. Eisht hass Judith liorish yn lhiabbee echey, as dooyrt ee ayns e cree, O Hiarn Yee, jeh dy chooilley phooar, jeeagh ec y traa shoh er obbyr my laueyn son yrjaghey Yerusalem.
|
4 So all went forth and none was left in the bedchamber, neither little nor great. Then Judith, standing by his bed, said in her heart, O Lord God of all power, look at this present upon the works of mine hands for the exaltation of Jerusalem.
|
|
5 Son nish y traa dy chooney lesh dt'eiraght, as dy chooilleeney ny reddyn ta mish er n'ghoaill ayns laue gys toyrt-mow ny noidyn t'er n'irree nyn 'oi.
|
5 For now is the time to help thine inheritance, and to execute thine enterprizes to the destruction of the enemies which are risen against us.
|
|
6 Eisht haink ee gys essyn ny lhiabbagh, v'ec kione Holofernes, as ghow ee neose e chliwe jeh shen,
|
6 Then she came to the pillar of the bed, which was at Holofernes' head, and took down his fauchion from thence,
|
|
7 As haink ee gys e lhiabbee, as ghow ee greim er folt e ching, as dooyrt ee, Niartee mee, O Hiarn Yee dy Israel, yn laa shoh.
|
7 And approached to his bed, and took hold of the hair of his head, and said, Strengthen me, O Lord God of Israel, this day.
|
|
8 As woaill ee daa cheayrt er e wannal lesh ooilley e niart, as ghow ee er-sooyl e chione jeh,
|
8 And she smote twice upon his neck with all her might, and she took away his head from him.
|
|
9 As hyndaa ee e chorp sheese jeh'n lhiabbee, as ghow ee yn coodagh neose jeh ny essynyn; as er-y-chooyl ny lurg shen hie ee magh, as hug ee kione Holofernes da e hinney-veyl;
|
9 And tumbled his body down from the bed, and pulled down the canopy from the pillars; and anon after she went forth, and gave Holofernes his head to her maid;
|
|
10 As hug ish eh ayns e poagey-bee: myr shen hie ad ny-neesht magh cooidjagh myr boallagh ad gys padjer: as tra v'ad er gheddyn shaghey yn camp, ghow ad mygeayrt y choan, as hie ad seose slieau Vethulia, as haink ad gys ny giattyn echey.
|
10 And she put it in her bag of meat: so they twain went together according to their custom unto prayer: and when they passed the camp, they compassed the valley, and went up the mountain of Bethulia, and came to the gates thereof.
|
|
11 Eisht dooyrt Judith foddey jeh rish yn arrey v'ec y yiat, Foshil, foshil-jee nish yn giat: ta Jee, eer yn Jee ain, marin dy hoilshaghey e phooar foast ayns Jerusalem, as e hroshid noi'n noid, myr t'eh eer er n'yannoo yn laa shoh.
|
11 Then said Judith afar off, to the watchmen at the gate, Open, open now the gate: God, even our God, is with us, to shew his power yet in Jerusalem, and his forces against the enemy, as he hath even done this day.
|
|
12 Nish tra cheayll deiney yn ard-valley eck e coraa, ren ad siyr dy gholl sheese gys giat yn ard-valley oc, as deie ad er shanstyryn yn ard-valley.
|
12 Now when the men of her city heard her voice, they made haste to go down to the gate of their city, and they called the elders of the city.
|
|
13 Eisht roie ad ooilley dy cheilley, chammah beg as mooar, son ve joarree daue dy row ee er jeet: myr shen doshil ad y giat, as lhig ad stiagh ad, as doad ad aile son soilshey, as hass ad runt mygeayrt-y-moo.
|
13 And then they ran all together, both small and great, for it was strange unto them that she was come: so they opened the gate, and received them, and made a fire for a light, and stood round about them.
|
|
14 Eisht dooyrt ee roo lesh ard-choraa, Cur-jee moylley, cur-jee moylley gys Jee, (ta mee dy ghra), son cha vel eh er ghoaill er-sooyl e vyghin voish thie Israel, agh t'eh er stroie ny noidyn ain liorish my laue's yn oie shoh.
|
14 Then she said to them with a loud voice, Praise, praise God, praise God, I say, for he hath not taken away his mercy from the house of Israel, but hath destroyed our enemies by mine hands this night.
|
|
15 Myr shen ghow ee yn kione ass y phoagey, as yeeagh ee daue eh, as dooyrt ee roo, Cur-my-ner kione Holofernes, ard-chaptan armee Assur, as cur-my-ner yn coodagh ayn v'eh ny lhie ayns e veshtyllys; as ta'n Chiarn er varroo eh liorish laue ben.
|
15 So she took the head out of the bag, and shewed it, and said unto them, behold the head of Holofernes, the chief captain of the army of Assur, and behold the canopy, wherein he did lie in his drunkenness; and the Lord hath smitten him by the hand of a woman.
|
|
16 Myr ta'n Chiarn bio, quoi t'er choadey mish ayns m'immeeaght, ta m'eddin's er violagh eh gys e hoyrt-mow, foast cha vel eh er chur-rish peccah marym, dy my vhilley as my naaraghey.
|
16 As the Lord liveth, who hath kept me in my way that I went, my countenance hath deceived him to his destruction, and yet hath he not committed sin with me, to defile and shame me.
|
|
17 Eisht ghow ooilley'n pobble yindys mirrilagh, as chroym ad ad-hene, as hug ad ooashley da Jee, as dooyrt ad lesh un aigney, Bannit dy row uss, O nyn Yee, quoi ta er y laa shoh er choyrt lhiat gys veg noidyn dty phobble.
|
17 Then all the people were wonderfully astonished, and bowed themselves and worshipped God, and said with one accord, Blessed be thou, O our God, which hast this day brought to nought the enemies of thy people.
|
|
18 Eisht dooyrt Osias ree, O inneen, bannit t'ou uss liorish y Jee smoo-ard er-skyn ooilley ny mraane t'er feiy ny cruinney; as bannit dy row'n Chiarn Jee, chroo niau as thalloo, hug royd dy yiarey yn kione jeh ard-er ny noidyn ain.
|
18 Then said Ozias unto her, O daughter, blessed art thou of the most high God above all the women upon the earth; and blessed be the Lord God, which hath created the heavens and the earth, which hath directed thee to the cutting off of the head of the chief of our enemies.
|
|
19 Son shoh dty hreishteilys cha naag creeghyn deiney, nee cooinaghtyn er pooar Yee son dy bragh.
|
19 For this thy confidence shall not depart from the heart of men, which remember the power of God for ever.
|
|
20 As dy jyndaa Jee ny reddyn shoh hoods son moylley bra, dy heet dty raad ayns nheeghyn mie, er-y-fa nagh vel oo er vooaraghey dty vioys son seaghyn yn ashoon ain, agh t'er n'ghoaill cooilleeney son nyn draartys, gimmeeaght ayns raad yn ynrickys kiongoyrt rish nyn Yee. As dooyrt ooilley'n pobble, Myr shen dy row eh, myr shen dy row eh.
|
20 And God turn these things to thee for a perpetual praise, to visit thee in good things because thou hast not spared thy life for the affliction of our nation, but hast revenged our ruin, walking a straight way before our God. And all the people said; So be it, so be it.

Judith

Cab. 14
|
|
|
1 Eisht dooyrt Judith roo, Clasht-ee rhym nish, my vraaraghyn, as gow-jee yn kione shoh, as crogh-jee eh er y boayl s’yrjey jeh ny voallaghyn eu.
|
1 Then said Judith unto them, Hear me now, my brethren, and take this head, and hang it upon the highest place of your walls.
|
|
2 As cha leah as hig y moghrey rish, as y ghrian er jeet magh er yn ooir, gow-jee dagh unnane e wappinyn, as immee-jee, dy chooilley ghooinney loor magh ass yn ard-valley, as soie-jee captan harrish-doo, myr dy ragh shiu sheese 'sy vagher lesh cheu arrey ny Assyrianee; agh ny immee shiu sheese.
|
2 And so soon as the morning shall appear, and the sun shall come forth upon the earth, take ye every one his weapons, and go forth every valiant man out of the city, and set ye a captain over them, as though ye would go down into the field toward the watch of the Assyrians; but go not down.
|
|
3 Eisht gowee adsyn nyn eillaghyn, as hed ad ayns nyn gamp, as troggee ad seose captanyn armee Assur, as nee ad roie gys cabbane Holofernes, agh cha vow ad eh: eisht tuittee aggle orroo, as nee ad chea roish yn eddin eu.
|
3 Then they shall take their armour, and shall go into their camp, and raise up the captains of the army of Assur, and shall run to the tent of Holofernes, but shall not find him: then fear shall fall upon them, and they shall flee before your face.
|
|
4 Myr shen hed shiuish as ooilley ny ta cummal ayns ardjyn Israel er yn eiyrtys oc, as ad y stroie myr t'ad goll.
|
4 So ye, and all that inhabit the coast of Israel, shall pursue them, and overthrow them as they go.
|
|
5 Agh roish my jean shiu ny reddyn shoh, eie-jee hym's er Achior yn Ammonite, dy vod eh fakin as enney 'choyrt ersyn hoie beg jeh thie Israel, as hug eshyn hooinyn, myr dy beagh eh dy ve currit gy baase.
|
5 But before ye do these things, call me Achior the Ammonite, that he may see and know him that despised the house of Israel, and that sent him to us as it were to his death.
|
|
6 Eisht deie ad er Achior magh ass thie Osias; as tra v'eh er jeet, as er akin kione Holofernes ayns laue dooinney ’sy chochruinnaght, huitt eh sheese er e eddin, as hie eh my-neealloo.
|
6 Then they called Achior out of the house of Ozias; and when he was come, and saw the head of Holofernes in a man's hand in the assembly of the people, he fell down on his face, and his spirit failed.
|
|
7 Agh tra hooar ad eh currit lesh huggey-hene reesht, huitt eh ec cassyn Yudith, as ren eh ammys j’ee, as dooyrt eh, Bannit t'ou uss ayns ooilley cabbane Yuda, as ayns dy chooilley ashoon, tra nee ad clashtyn dt’ennym’s gowee ad yindys.
|
7 But when they had recovered him, he fell at Judith's feet, and reverenced her, and said, Blessed art thou in all the tabernacles of Juda, and in all nations, which hearing thy name shall be astonished.
|
|
8 Nish er-y-fa shen insh dou ooilley ny reddyn t'ou er n'yannoo ayns ny laghyn shoh. Eisht hoilshee Judith da mastey'n pobble ooilley ny ren ee, er-dyn laa hie ee magh derrey'n oor shen v'ee loayrt roo.
|
8 Now therefore tell me all the things that thou hast done in these days. Then Judith declared unto him in the midst of the people all that she had done, from the day that she went forth until that hour she spake unto them.
|
|
9 As tra v'ee erreish loayrt, dyllee yn pobble lesh ard-choraa, as ren ad sheean gerjoil 'syn ard-valley oc.
|
9 And when she had left off speaking, the people shouted with a loud voice, and made a joyful noise in their city.
|
|
10 As tra va Achior er akin ooilley ny va Jee Israel er n’yannoo, chreid eh dy mooar ayns Jee, as yiare eh feill e chrackan-chymmylt, as v'eh er ny sniemmey gys thie Israel gys y laa jiu.
|
10 And when Achior had seen all that the God of Israel had done, he believed in God greatly, and circumcised the flesh of his foreskin, and was joined unto the house of Israel unto this day.
|
|
11 As cha leah as va'n moghrey er jeet rish, crogh ad kione Holofernes er y voalley, as ghow dagh dooinney e wappinyn, as jimmee ad magh ayns sheshaghtyn gys glionteenyn y clieau.

11 And as soon as the morning arose, they hanged the head of Holofernes upon the wall, and every man took his weapons, and they went forth by bands unto the straits of the mountain.
|
|
12 Agh tra honnick ny Assyrianee ad, hug ad fys gys nyn leeideilee, quoi haink gys nyn gaptanyn as ny briwnyn, as gys dy chooilley unnane jeh nyn reiltee.
|
12 But when the Assyrians saw them, they sent to their leaders, which came to their captains and tribunes, and to every one of their rulers.
|
|
13 Myr shen haink ad gys cabbane Holofernes as dooyrt ad rish y fer va goaill kiarail jeh ooilley ny reddyn echey, Dooisht nish nyn jiarn: son ta ny kercheenyn dy daaney er jeet sheese noi ain dy chaggey, dy vod ad 've dy bollagh er nyn stroie.
|
13 So they came to Holofernes' tent, and said to him that had the charge of all his things, Waken now our lord: for the slaves have been bold to come down against us to battle, that they may be utterly destroyed.
|
|
14 Eisht hie Bagoas stiagh as chronk eh ec dorrys y chabbane; son heill eh dy row eh ny chadley marish Judith.
|
14 Then went in Bagoas, and knocked at the door of the tent; for he thought that he had slept with Judith.
|
|
15 Agh er-y-fa nagh dooar eh ansoor, doshil eh, as hie eh stiagh 'sy chamyr-lhiabbagh, as hooar eh eh ceauit er y laare marroo, as va e chione goit jeh.
|
15 But because none answered, he opened it, and went into the bedchamber, and found him cast upon the floor dead, and his head was taken from him.
|
|
16 Shen-y-fa dyllee eh dy ard, lesh keayney, as osnaghey, as eam niartal, as raip eh e gharmadyn.
|
16 Therefore he cried with a loud voice, with weeping, and sighing, and a mighty cry, and rent his garments.
|
|
17 Lurg shen hie eh stiagh ’sy chabbane raad va Judith goaill aaght: as tra nagh dooar eh ee, lheim eh magh gys y pobble, as deie eh,
|
17 After he went into the tent where Judith lodged: and when he found her not, he leaped out to the people, and cried,
|
|
18 Ta ny kercheenyn shoh er ghellal dy traitooragh; ta un ven jeh ny Hebrewnee er hayrn scammylt er thie ree Nabuchodonosor: son cur-my-ner, ta Holofernes ny lhie er y thalloo fegooish e chione.
|
18 These slaves have dealt treacherously; one woman of the Hebrews hath brought shame upon the house of king Nabuchodonosor: for, behold, Holofernes lieth upon the ground without a head.
|
|
19 Tra va captanyn armee ny Assyrianee er chlashtyn ny goan shoh, raip ad nyn gooatyn, as va nyn aignaghyn yindyssagh seaghnit, as va coe as feiyr feer vooar trooid magh yn champ.
|
19 When the captains of the Assyrians' army heard these words, they rent their coats and their minds were wonderfully troubled, and there was a cry and a very great noise throughout the camp.

|
|
1 As tra v'adsyn v'ayns ny cabbaneyn er chlashtyn jeh, ghow ad niart yindys jeh'n red va jeant.
|
1 And when they that were in the tents heard, they were astonished at the thing that was done.
|
|
2 As huitt aggle as creau orroo, myr shen nagh row dooinney erbee by-loys da uirraght ayns shilley da e naboo, agh roie ad magh ooilley lesh-y-cheilley, as hea ad gys dy chooilley raad jeh'n trah, as jeh cheer-ny-gronk.
|
2 And fear and trembling fell upon them, so that there was no man that durst abide in the sight of his neighbour, but rushing out all together, they fled into every way of the plain, and of the hill country.
|
|
3 Adsyn myrgeddin v'er champal ayns ny sleityn runt mygeayrt-y-mysh Bethulia, hea ad ersooyl. Eisht ren cloan Israel, dagh unnane va ny ghooinney-caggee ny mast'oc, roie magh orroo.
|
3 They also that had camped in the mountains round about Bethulia fled away. Then the children of Israel, every one that was a warrior among them, rushed out upon them.
|
|
4 Eisht hug Osias fys gys Bothomasthem, as gys Bebai, as Chobai, as Cola, as gys ooilley ardjyn Israel, liorish lheid as yinnagh ginsh ny reddyn va jeant, as dy begin daue ooilley roie magh er nyn noidyn dy nyn stroie.
|
4 Then sent Ozias to Betomasthem, and to Bebai, and Chobai, and Cola and to all the coasts of Israel, such as should tell the things that were done, and that all should rush forth upon their enemies to destroy them.
|
|
5 Nish tra va cloan Israel er chlashtyn shen, huitt ad ooilley orroo lesh un aigney, as ad y stroie er-gys Chobai: myrgeddin adsyn v'er jeet veih Jerusalem as veih cheer-ny-gronk, (son va deiney er n'insh daue cre ny reddyn va jeant ayns camp ny noidyn oc,) as adsyn v'ayns Galaad, as ayns Galilee, d'eiyr ad orroo lesh stroialtys mooar, derrey v'ad shaghey Damascus as ny slystyn echey.
|
5 Now when the children of Israel heard it, they all fell upon them with one consent, and slew them unto Chobai: likewise also they that came from Jerusalem, and from all the hill country, (for men had told them what things were done in the camp of their enemies) and they that were in Galaad, and in Galilee, chased them with a great slaughter, until they were past Damascus and the borders thereof.
|
|
6 As y chooid elley va baghey ec Bethulia, huitt ad er camp Assur, as spooill ad ad, as hooar ad mooarane berchys.
|
6 And the residue that dwelt at Bethulia, fell upon the camp of Assur, and spoiled them, and were greatly enriched.
|
|
7 As cloan Israel hyndaa veih'n cragh hooar shen ny va fooillagh; as hooar ny baljyn beggey as ny ard-valjyn, v'ayns ny sleityn as 'sy trah, ymmodee spooillaghyn; son va'n cheshaght feer vooar.
|
7 And the children of Israel that returned from the slaughter had that which remained; and the villages and the cities, that were in the mountains and in the plain, gat many spoils: for the multitude was very great.
|
|
8 Eisht haink Joachim yn ard-saggyrt, as shendiaght cloan Israel va baghey ayns Jerusalem, dy chur-my-ner ny reddyn mie va Jee er hoilshaghey da Israel, as dy akin Judith, as dy ghoaill boggey jee,
|
8 Then Joacim the high priest, and the ancients of the children of Israel that dwelt in Jerusalem, came to behold the good things that God had shewed to Israel, and to see Judith, and to salute her.
|
|
9 As tra haink ad huic, vannee ad ee lesh un aigney, as dooyrt ad ree, T'ou uss ard-voylley Yerusalem, t’ou uss gloyr vooar Israel, t'ou boggey mooar yn ashoon ain:
|
9 And when they came unto her, they blessed her with one accord, and said unto her, Thou art the exaltation of Jerusalem, thou art the great glory of Israel, thou art the great rejoicing of our nation:
|
|
10 T'ou er n'yannoo ooilley ny reddyn shoh liorish dty laue: t'ou er n'yannoo lane mie da Israel, as ta Jee booiagh lesh y chooid cheddin: bannit dy row uss jeh'n Chiarn Ooilley-niartal son dy bragh farraghtyn; as dooyrt ooilley'n pobble, Myr shen dy row eh.
|
10 Thou hast done all these things by thine hand: thou hast done much good to Israel, and God is pleased therewith: blessed be thou of the Almighty Lord for evermore. And all the people said, So be it.
|
|
11 As ren y pobble spooilley yn camp son choud as jeih laa as feed: as hug ad cabbane Holofernes da Judith, as ooilley e obbraghyn-argid, as lhiabbaghyn, as siyn, as ooilley e chooid: as ghow ee eh as hug ee eh er e mule; as hooar ee e cartyn aarloo, as hug ee ad ny lhie orroo shen.
|
11 And the people spoiled the camp the space of thirty days: and they gave unto Judith Holofernes his tent, and all his plate, and beds, and vessels, and all his stuff: and she took it and laid it on her mule; and made ready her carts, and laid them thereon.
|
|
12 As roie ooilley mraane Israel cooidjagh dy akin ee, as vannee ad ee, as ren ad daunsin y yannoo ny mast'oc er-e-son: as ghow ee banglaneyn ayns e laue, as chur ee myrgeddin da ny mraane va maree.
|
12 Then all the women of Israel ran together to see her, and blessed her, and made a dance among them for her: and she took branches in her hand, and gave also to the women that were with her.
|
|
13 As hug ad attey-olive urreeish as er e hinney-veyl va maree, as hie ee ayns toshiaght ooilley'n pobble 'sy daunsin, leeideil ooilley ny mraane: as hie ooilley deiney Israel geiyrt orroo ayns nyn eillaghyn lesh attaghyn-blaa, as arraneyn ayns nyn meeal.
|
13 And they put a garland of olive upon her and her maid that was with her, and she went before all the people in the dance, leading all the women: and all the men of Israel followed in their armour with garlands, and with songs in their mouths.
|

Judith

Cab. 16
|
|
|
1 Eisht hie Judith lesh yn arrane shoh dy hoyrt booise ayns ooilley Israel, as ghow ooilley'n pobble mareeish lesh yn arrane-moyllee shoh.
|
1 Then Judith began to sing this thanksgiving in all Israel, and all the people sang after her this song of praise.
|
|
2 As dooyrt Judith, Gow-jee toshiaght gys my Yee lesh timbrelyn, gow-jee arrane gys my Hiarn lesh cymballyn: cloie-jee huggeysyn arrane noa: soie-jee mooar jeh, as eie-jee er e ennym.
|
2 And Judith said, Begin unto my God with timbrels, sing unto my Lord with cymbals: tune unto him a new psalm: exalt him, and call upon his name.
|
|
3 Son ta Jee brishey ny caggaghyn: son mastey ny campyn ayns mean y pobble t'eh er livrey mish ass ny laueyn ocsyn ren my hranlaasey.
|
3 For God breaketh the battles: for among the camps in the midst of the people he hath delivered me out of the hands of them that persecuted me.
|
|
4 Haink Assur magh ass ny sleityn veih'n twoaie, haink eh marish jeih thousaneyn jeh e armee, earroo yn chooid cheddin ren lhiettal ny thooillaghyn, as ta ny sidooryn-cabbyl oc er choodaghey ny croink.
|
4 Assur came out of the mountains from the north, he came with ten thousands of his army, the multitude whereof stopped the torrents, and their horsemen have covered the hills.
|
|
5 Ren eh boggys dy loshtagh eh seose my ardjyn, as dy marragh eh my gheiney aegey lesh y chliwe, as cloan-ny-kee y scoltey noi'n thalloo, as my oikanyn y ghoaill myr cragh, as my voidynyn myr spooilley.
|
5 He bragged that he would burn up my borders, and kill my young men with the sword, and dash the sucking children against the ground, and make mine infants as a prey, and my virgins as a spoil.
|
|
6 Agh ta'n Chiarn Ooilley-niartal er lhiettal ad liorish laue ben.
|
6 But the Almighty Lord hath disappointed them by the hand of a woman.
|
|
7 Son cha huitt yn fer niartal liorish ny deiney aegey, chamoo dy ren mec ny Titanee eh y varroo, ny foawir thollee soiagh er: agh ghow Judith inneen Verari yn vree ass lesh aalid e heddin.
|
7 For the mighty one did not fall by the young men, neither did the sons of the Titans smite him, nor high giants set upon him: but Judith the daughter of Merari weakened him with the beauty of her countenance.
|
|
8 Son hug ee jee garmad e treoghys son dy hroggal seose adsyn va tranlaasit ayns Israel, as ren ee e heddin y ooillaghey lesh ooill, as chiangle ee e folt ayns quoif, as coamrey aanrit y ghoaill dy chur shaghrynys er.
|
8 For she put off the garment of her widowhood for the exaltation of those that were oppressed in Israel, and anointed her face with ointment, and bound her hair in a tire, and took a linen garment to deceive him.
|
|
9 Hug ny carraneyn eck cleayn er e hooillyn, ghow yn aalid eck seose e aigney, as hie'n cliwe cam trooid e wannal.
|
9 Her sandals ravished his eyes, her beauty took his mind prisoner, and the fauchion passed through his neck.
|
|
10 Va ny Persianee er-creau ec y daanys v'ayn-jee, as va ny Medeyn agglit lesh y dunnallys eck.
|
10 The Persians quaked at her boldness, and the Medes were daunted at her hardiness.
|
|
11 Eisht dyllee my vooinjer heaghnit lesh boggey, as m'eallagh annoon deie dy ard; agh ghow adsyn ard-yindys: hrog ad-shoh seose nyn goraaghyn, agh v'adsyn tilgit bun-ry-skyn.
|
11 Then my afflicted shouted for joy, and my weak ones cried aloud; but they were astonished: these lifted up their voices, but they were overthrown.
|
|
12 Ta mec ny mraane aegey er holley trooid ad, as er nyn lhottey myr cloan wagaantagh: ren ad cherraghtyn liorish caggey'n Chiarn.
|
12 The sons of the damsels have pierced them through, and wounded them as fugatives' children: they perished by the battle of the Lord.
|
|
13 Goym's arrane noa gys y Chiarn: O Hiarn, t'ou uss mooar as gloyroil, yindyssagh ayns niart, as erskyn towse lajer.
|
13 I will sing unto the Lord a new song: O Lord, thou art great and glorious, wonderful in strength, and invincible.
|
|
14 Lhig da dy chooilley chretoor uss y hirveish: son loayr oo as v'ad jeant; hug oo magh dty spyrryd as ren eh ad y chroo, as cha vel unnane erbee oddys shassoo noi dty choraa.
|
14 Let all creatures serve thee: for thou spakest, and they were made, thou didst send forth thy spirit, and it created them, and there is none that can resist thy voice.
|
|
15 Son bee ny sleityn er nyn scughey veih nyn undinyn lesh ny ushtaghyn; nee ny creggyn lheie myr kere kiongoyrt rhyt: foast t'ou myghinagh dauesyn ta goaill aggle royd.
|
15 For the mountains shall be moved from their foundations with the waters, the rocks shall melt as wax at thy presence: yet thou art merciful to them that fear thee.
|
|
16 Son ta ooilley ny ouralyn beggan dhyt son soar millish, as cha vel ooilley yn eeh fondagh son dty hebbal-losht: agh eshyn ta goaill aggle roish y Chiarn t'eh mooar ec dy chooilley hraa.
|
16 For all sacrifice is too little for a sweet savour unto thee, and all the fat is not sufficient for thy burnt offering: but he that feareth the Lord is great at all times.
|
|
17 Smerg da ny ashoonyn ta girree seose noi my chynney; gowee yn Chiarn Ooilley-niartal cooilleeney orroo ayns laa yn vriwnys, liorish aile as beishteigyn y choyrt 'syn eill oc; as ennys adsyn ad, as vees ad dobberan son dy bragh.
|
17 Woe to the nations that rise up against my kindred! the Lord Almighty will take vengeance of them in the day of judgment, in putting fire and worms in their flesh; and they shall feel them, and weep for ever.
|
|
18 Nish cha leah as v'ad er n'gholl stiagh ayns Jerusalem, hug ad ooashley da'n Chiarn; as cha leah as va'n pobble er ny ghlenney, heb ad nyn jebbalyn-losht, as nyn jebbalyn-arraltagh, as nyn ghiootyn.
|
18 Now as soon as they entered into Jerusalem, they worshipped the Lord; and as soon as the people were purified, they offered their burnt offerings, and their free offerings, and their gifts.
|
|
19 Ren Judith neesht soylley 'ghoaill jeh ooilley cooid Holofernes, va'n pobble er choyrt j'ee, as chur ee yn coodagh, v'ee er n'ghoaill ass e hamyr-lhiabbagh, son gioot gys y Chiarn.
|
19 Judith also dedicated all the stuff of Holofernes, which the people had given her, and gave the canopy, which she had taken out of his bedchamber, for a gift unto the Lord.
|
|
20 Myr shen ren y pobble tannaghtyn giensal ayns Jerusalem kiongoyrt rish yn ynnyd casherick son choud as three meeaghyn, as duirree Judith maroo.
|
20 So the people continued feasting in Jerusalem before the sanctuary for the space of three months and Judith remained with them.
|
|
21 Lurg y traa shoh hyndaa dy chooilley unnane gys e eiraght hene, as jimmee Judith gys Bethulia as duirree ee ayns e cummal hene, as v'ee 'sy traa eck ooasle ayns ooilley'n cheer.
|
21 After this time every one returned to his own inheritance, and Judith went to Bethulia, and remained in her own possession, and was in her time honourable in all the country.
|
|
22 As va ymmodee dy hirrey ee, agh cha row veg ec fer erbee dy yannoo ree ooilley laghyn e bea, lurg da Manasses e sheshey ve marroo, as chaglit gys e phobble.
|
22 And many desired her, but none knew her all the days of her life, after that Manasses her husband was dead, and was gathered to his people.
|
|
23 Agh ren ee bishaghey ny smoo as ny smoo ayns ooashley, as daase ee shenn ayns thie e sheshey; v'ee queig feed blein as queig dy eash, as hug ee reamys da e hinney-veyl; myr shen hooar ee baase ayns Bethulia: as doanluck ad ee ayns ooig Vanasses e sheshey.
|
23 But she increased more and more in honour, and waxed old in her husband's house, being an hundred and five years old, and made her maid free; so she died in Bethulia: and they buried her in the cave of her husband Manasses.
|
|
24 As ren thie Israel dobberan er-e-son shiaght laa: as my dooar ee baase, rheynn ee e cooid orroosyn ooilley va jeh kynney sniessey Vanasses e sheshey, as orroosyn va jeh'n kynney sniessey eck hene.
|
24 And the house of Israel lamented her seven days: and before she died, she did distribute her goods to all them that were nearest of kindred to Manasses her husband, and to them that were the nearest of her kindred.
|
|
25 As cha row unnane erbee hug aggle er cloan Israel arragh ayns laghyn Yudith, ny son traa liauyr lurg e baaish.
|
25 And there was none that made the children of Israel any more afraid in the days of Judith, nor a long time after her death.

1 And these are the words of the book, which Baruch the son of Nerias, the son of Maasias, the son of Sedecias, the son of Asadias, the son of Chelcias, wrote in Babylon,
|
|
2 Ayns y wheiggoo vlein, as ayns y chiaghtoo laa jeh'n vee, ec y traa ghow ny Chaldeanee Jerusalem as eh y lostey lesh aile.

2 In the fifth year, and in the seventh day of the month, what time as the Chaldeans took Jerusalem, and burnt it with fire.
|
|
3 As lhaih Baruch goan y lioar shoh ayns clashtyn Yechonias, mac Yoachim ree Yudea, as ayns clashtyn ooilley yn sleih haink dy eaishtagh rish y lioar,

3 And Baruch did read the words of this book in the hearing of Jechonias the son of Joachim king of Juda, and in the ears of all the people that came to hear the book,
|
|
4 As ayns clashtyn y vooinjer ooasle, as mec y ree, as ayns clashtyn ny shanstyryn, as ooilley'n pobble, voish y fer s'inshley gys y fer s'yrjey, eer ooilley adsyn va baghey ec Babylon liorish awin Sud.
|
4 And in the hearing of the nobles, and of the king's sons, and in the hearing of the elders, and of all the people, from the lowest unto the highest, even of all them that dwelt at Babylon by the river Sud.
|
|
5 Er shoh ren ad dobberan, trostey, as padjer 'ghoaill kiongoyrt rish y Chiarn.
|
5 Whereupon they wept, fasted, and prayed before the Lord.
|
|
6 Ren ad myrgeddin argid y hymsagh, gagh dooinney gys rere e phooar:
|
6 They made also a collection of money according to every man's power:

7 As hug ad eh gys Jerusalem gys Joachim yn ard-saggyrt, mac Chelcias, mac Salom, as gys ny saggyrtyn, as gys ooilley'n pobble va ry-gheddyn marish ec Jerusalem.

7 And they sent it to Jerusalem unto Joachim the high priest, the son of Chelcias, son of Salom, and to the priests, and to all the people which were found with him at Jerusalem,
|
|
8 As ec y traa cheddin tra v'eh er gheddyn siyn thie'n Chiarn, va goit magh ass y chiamble, dy chur ad reesht gys cheer Yudea, yn jeihoo laa jeh’n vee Sivan, ta shen dy ghra, ny siyn argid va Sedeclas mac Yosias ree Yudea er n'yannoo,
|
8 At the same time when he received the vessels of the house of the Lord, that were carried out of the temple, to return them into the land of Juda, the tenth day of the month Sivan, namely, silver vessels, which Sedecias the son of Josias king of Jada had made,
|

9 After that Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon had carried away Jechonias, and the princes, and the captives, and the mighty men, and the people of the land, from Jerusalem, and brought them unto Babylon.
|
|
10 As dooyrt ad, Cur-my-ner, ta shinyn er choyrt hiu argid dy chionnagh diu chebbalyn-losht, as chebbalyn-peccah, as soar-millish, as fow shiuish manna [aarloo], as cheb-jee er altar y Chiarn Jee ain;

10 And they said, Behold, we have sent you money to buy you burnt offerings, and sin offerings, and incense, and prepare ye manna, and offer upon the altar of the Lord our God;
|
|
11 As guee-jee son bioys Nabuchodonosor ree Vabylon, as son bioys Valthasar e vac, dy vod nyn laghyn er y thalloo 've myr laghyn flaunys:

11 And pray for the life of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and for the life of Balthasar his son, that their days may be upon earth as the days of heaven:
|
|
12 As ver y Chiarn niart dooin, as nyn sooillyn y hoilshaghey, as nee mayd baghey fo scaa Nabuchodonosor ree Vabylon, as fo scaa Belthasar e vac, as nee mayd ad y hirveish ymmodee laghyn, as foayr y gheddyn 'sy chilley oc.
|
12 And the Lord will give us strength, and lighten our eyes, and we shall live under the shadow of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and under the shadow of Balthasar his son, and we shall serve them many days, and find favour in their sight.
|

19 Since the day that the Lord brought our forefathers out of the land of Egypt, unto this present day, we have been disobedient unto the Lord our God, and we have been negligent in not hearing his voice.

20 Wherefore the evils cleaved unto us, and the curse, which the Lord appointed by Moses his servant at the time that he brought our fathers out of the land of Egypt, to give us a land that floweth with milk and honey, like as it is to see this day.

|
1 Therefore the Lord hath made good his word, which he pronounced against us, and against our judges that judged Israel, and against our kings, and against our princes, and against the men of Israel and Juda,
|
|
2 Dy chur lesh orrin kerraghyn dewiley, lheid as nagh haghyr rieau roie fo ooilley niau, myr haink eh gy kione ayns Jerusalem, cordail rish ny reddyn va scruit ayns lioar Voses;

2 To bring upon us great plagues, such as never happened under the whole heaven, as it came to pass in Jerusalem, according to the things that were written in the law of Moses;
|
|
3 Dy jinnagh dooinney gee feill e vac hene, as feill e inneen hene.
|
3 That a man should eat the flesh of his own son, and the flesh of his own daughter.

|
4 Moreover he hath delivered them to be in subjection to all the kingdoms that are round about us, to be as a reproach and desolation among all the people round about, where the Lord hath scattered them.

5 Thus we were cast down, and not exalted, because we have sinned against the Lord our God, and have not been obedient unto his voice.
|
|
6 Gys y Chiarn [nyn Yee] ta bentyn ynrickys: agh hooinyn as gys nyn ayraghyn nearey foshlit, myr ta ry-akin jiu.

6 To the Lord our God appertaineth righteousness: but unto us and to our fathers open shame, as appeareth this day.

7 Son ta ooilley ny briwnyssyn shoh er jeet orrin, ad ta'n Chiarn er n'ockley magh nyn 'oi.

8 Yet have we not prayed before the Lord, that we might turn every one from the imaginations of his wicked heart.

9 Wherefore the Lord watched over us for evil, and the Lord hath brought it upon us: for the Lord is righteous in all his works which he hath commanded us.
|

10 Foast cha vel shinyn er n’eaishtagh rish e choraa, dy hooyl ayns ny annaghyn ta'n Chiarn er hoiaghey roin.

10 Yet we have not hearkened unto his voice, to walk in the commandments of the Lord, that he hath set before us.

11 And now, O Lord God of Israel, that hast brought thy people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and high arm, and with signs, and with wonders, and with great power, and hast gotten thyself a name, as appeareth this day:

15 Dy vod fys v'ec ooilley'n ooir dy nee uss yn Chiarn y Jee ain, er-y-fa dy vel Israel as e luight enmyssit ort's.

15 That all the earth may know that thou art the Lord our God, because Israel and his posterity is called by thy name.
|

16 O Hiarn, jeeagh neose veih dty hie casherick, as smooinee orrin: croym sheese dty chleaysh, O Hiarn, dy chlashtyn rooin.

16 O Lord, look down from thine holy house, and consider us: bow down thine ear, O Lord, to hear us.

17 Open thine eyes, and behold; for the dead that are in the graves, whose souls are taken from their bodies, will give unto the Lord neither praise nor righteousness:

18 Agh yn annym ta dy mooar seaghnit, ta gimmeeaght dy injil as moal, as ny sooillyn ta failleil, as yn annym accryssagh, ver dhyts moylley as booise, O Hiarn.
|
18 But the soul that is greatly vexed, which goeth stooping and feeble, and the eyes that fail, and the hungry soul, will give thee praise and righteousness, O Lord.
|
|
19 Shen-y-fa cha vel shinyn jannoo nyn aghin imlee kiongoyrt rhyts, O Hiarn nyn Yee, son ynrickys nyn ayraghyn, as ny reeaghyn ain.

19 Therefore we do not make our humble supplication before thee, O Lord our God, for the righteousness of our fathers, and of our kings.
|

20 Son t’ou uss er ‘choyrt magh dty chorree as dty yymmoose orrin, myr t'ou er loayrt liorish dty harvaantyn ny phadeyryn, gra,

20 For thou hast sent out thy wrath and indignation upon us, as thou hast spoken by thy servants the prophets, saying,

21 Thus saith the Lord, Bow down your shoulders to serve the king of Babylon: so shall ye remain in the land that I gave unto your fathers.
|
|
22 Agh mannagh n'eaisht shiu rish coraa yn Chiarn, dy hirveish ree Vabylon,

|
23 I will cause to cease out of the cites of Judah, and from without Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: and the whole land shall be desolate of inhabitants.
|
|

|
24 But we would not hearken unto thy voice, to serve the king of Babylon: therefore hast thou made good the words that thou spakest by thy servants the prophets, namely, that the bones of our kings, and the bones of our fathers, should be taken out of their place.
|

25 And, lo, they are cast out to the heat of the day, and to the frost of the night, and they died in great miseries by famine, by sword, and by pestilence.
|

26 As y thie ta enmyssit ort (t'ou er choyrt naardey) myr te ry-akin jiu, son drogh yannoo thie Israel as thie Yuda.

26 And the house which is called by thy name hast thou laid waste, as it is to be seen this day, for the wickedness of the house of Israel and the house of Juda.

28 As thou spakest by thy servant Moses in the day when thou didst command him to write the law before the children of Israel, saying,

29 If ye will not hear my voice, surely this very great multitude shall be turned into a small number among the nations, where I will scatter them.

30 For I knew that they would not hear me, because it is a stiffnecked people: but in the land of their captivities they shall remember themselves.

31 As bee fys oc dy vel mish yn Chiarn nyn Yee: son veryms daue cree, as cleayshyn dy chlashtyn:

32 And they shall praise me in the land of their captivity, and think upon my name,

33 As nee ad chyndaa veih nyn greoi-wannallys, as veih nyn ghrogh-yannoo: son cooinys ad er immeeaght nyn ayraghyn, ren peccah kiongoyrt rish y Chiarn.
|
33 And return from their stiff neck, and from their wicked deeds: for they shall remember the way of their fathers, which sinned before the Lord.
|
|
34 As ver-yms lhiam ad reesht gys y cheer yiall mee lesh breearey da nyn ayraghyn, Abraham, Isaac, as Jacob, as bee ad chiarnyn harrish: as nee'yms ad y vishaghey, as cha jean ad parail.

34 And I will bring them again into the land which I promised with an oath unto their fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and they shall be lords of it: and I will increase them, and they shall not be diminished.
|
|
35 As nee'yms conaant dy bragh farraghtyn y yannoo roo dy ve yn Jee oc, as bee adsyn my phobble: as cha n'eebyr-yms arragh my phobble d'Israel magh ass y cheer shen ta mee er choyrt daue.

14 Let them that dwell about Sion come, and remember ye the captivity of my sons and daughters, which the Everlasting hath brought upon them.

15 For he hath brought a nation upon them from far, a shameless nation, and of a strange language, who neither reverenced old man, nor pitied child.
|
|
16 T'ad shoh er chur lhieu ersooyl cloan deyr-graihagh yn ven-treoghe, as er n'aagail ish va ny lomarcan, follym fegooish inneenyn.

16 These have carried away the dear beloved children of the widow, and left her that was alone desolate without daughters.

|
17 But what can I help you?

18 For he that brought these plagues upon you will deliver you from the hands of your enemies.

20 I have put off the clothing of peace, and put upon me the sackcloth of my prayer: I will cry unto the Everlasting in my days.
|
|
21 Bee-jee dy yien mie, O my chloan, eie-jee gys y Chiarn, as nee eh shiu y livrey veih pooar as laue ny noidyn eu.

21 Be of good cheer, O my children, cry unto the Lord, and he will deliver you from the power and hand of the enemies.

22 For my hope is in the Everlasting, that he will save you; and joy is come unto me from the Holy One, because of the mercy which shall soon come unto you from the Everlasting our Saviour.
|
|
23 Son hug mee magh shiu lesh dobberan as keayney: agh ver Jee dooys shiu reesht lesh boggey as gennallys son dy bragh.

23 For I sent you out with mourning and weeping: but God will give you to me again with joy and gladness for ever.

24 Like as now the neighbours of Sion have seen your captivity: so shall they see shortly your salvation from our God which shall come upon you with great glory, and brightness of the Everlasting.

|
|
26 Ta m'eallagh mettey er gholl ayns raaidyn garroo, as v'ad goit ersooyl goll-rish shioltane tayrit liorish ny noidyn.

|

30 Take a good heart, O Jerusalem: for he that gave thee that name will comfort thee.

1 Put off, O Jerusalem, the garment of mourning and affliction, and put on the comeliness of the glory that cometh from God for ever.
|
|
2 Cur mood garmad dooble jeh'n ynrickys ta cheet voish Jee; as soie attey er dty chione jeh’n ghloyr Veayn.

4 For thy name shall be called of God for ever The peace of righteousness, and The glory of God's worship.

5 Arise, O Jerusalem, and stand on high, and look about toward the east, and behold thy children gathered from the west unto the east by the word of the Holy One, rejoicing in the remembrance of God.

6 Son jimmee ad void ry-ny-gosh, as v'ad leeidit ersooyl liorish nyn noidyn; agh ta Jee cur lesh hood ad, ard lesh gloyr, myr cloan y reeriaght.

1 A copy of an epistle, which Jeremy sent unto them which were to be led captives into Babylon by the king of the Babylonians, to certify them, as it was commanded him of God.
|
|
2 By-chyndagh rish ny peccaghyn ta shiuish er n’yannoo kiongoyrt rish Jee, vees shiu er nyn leeideil ayns cappeeys gys Babylon liorish Nabuchodonosor ree ny Babylonianee.

2 Because of the sins which ye have committed before God, ye shall be led away captives into Babylon by Nabuchodonosor king of the Babylonians.
|

3 So when ye be come unto Babylon, ye shall remain there many years, and for a long season, namely, seven generations: and after that I will bring you away peaceably from thence.
|
|
4 Nish nee shiu fakin ayns Babylon jeeghyn d'argid, as d'airh, as dy fuygh, er ny[n] ymmyrkey seose er geayltyn, ta coyrt ny ashoonyn ayns aggle.

4 Now shall ye see in Babylon gods of silver, and of gold, and of wood, borne upon shoulders, which cause the nations to fear.

5 Cur-jee twoaie er-y-fa shen nagh bee shiuish goll-rish joarreeyn, chamoo gow-jee aggle roue, tra hee shiu sheshaght vooar rhymboo as ny-jei, cur ooashley daue.

5 Beware therefore that ye in no wise be like to strangers, neither be ye afraid of them, when ye see the multitude before them and behind them, worshipping them.
|
|
6 Agh abbyr-jee ayns nyn greeghyn, O Hiarn, shegin dooinyn uss y ooashlaghey.
|
6 But say ye in your hearts, O Lord, we must worship thee.
|

7 Son ta'n ainle aym’s meriu, as mish mee-hene goaill kiarail son nyn anmeenyn.

7 For mine angel is with you, and I myself caring for your souls.

8 As for their tongue, it is polished by the workman, and they themselves are gilded and laid over with silver; yet are they but false, and cannot speak.
|
|
9 As goaill airh, myr dy beagh eh da moidyn ta aggindagh er moyrn, t'ad jannoo attaghyn son kione ny jeeghyn oc.
|
9 And taking gold, as it were for a virgin that loveth to go gay, they make crowns for the heads of their gods.
|
|
10 Paart dy cheayrtyn neesht ta ny saggyrtyn goaill voish ny jeeghyn oc airh as argid, as stowel eh orroo-hene.
|
10 Sometimes also the priests convey from their gods gold and silver, and bestow it upon themselves.
|

11 Dy jarroo, dy der ad jeh'n chooid cheddin da ny streebee chadjin, as adsyn y hoiaghey magh myr deiney lesh garmadyn, nagh vel agh jeeghyn d’argid, as jeeghyn d'airh, as dy fuygh.

11 Yea, they will give thereof to the common harlots, and deck them as men with garments, being gods of silver, and gods of gold, and wood.
|
|
12 Foast cha vod ny jeeghyn shoh ad-hene y hauail voish mergey as lhemeen, ga dy vel ad coodit lesh coamrey gorrym-jiarg.

12 Yet cannot these gods save themselves from rust and moth, though they be covered with purple raiment.
|
|
13 T'ad glenney ny eddinyn oc kyndagh rish joan y chiamble, tra ta lane jeh orroo.
|
13 They wipe their faces because of the dust of the temple, when there is much upon them.
|
|
14 As t'eshyn nagh vod marroo fer ta coyrt y chorree er cummal lorg-reill, myr dy beagh eh briw ny cheerey.
|
14 And he that cannot put to death one that offendeth him holdeth a sceptre, as though he were a judge of the country.
|
|
15 Ta echey myrgeddin ayns e laue yesh skyn-attey as teigh: agh cha vod eh eh-hene y livrey voish caggey as maarlee.
|
15 He hath also in his right hand a dagger and an ax: but cannot deliver himself from war and thieves.
|
|
16 Liorish shoh ta fys roo nagh nee jeeghyn ad: shen-y-fa nagh bee-jee ayns aggle jeu.

16 Whereby they are known not to be gods: therefore fear them not.

|
17 For like as a vessel that a man useth is nothing worth when it is broken; even so it is with their gods: when they be set up in the temple, their eyes be full of dust through the feet of them that come in.
|
|
18 As 'naght myr ta ny dorrysyn jeant shickyr er dy chooilley heu, ersyn ta brasnaghey’n ree, son dy vel eh er ny gheyrey dy hurranse baase: eer shen myr ta’n saggyrtyn jannoo shickyr jeh nyn jiambleyn lesh cooylaghyn, lesh glish, as lesh festyn, er aggle dy bee ny jeeghyn oc er ny[n] spooilley liorish roosteyryn.
|
18 And as the doors are made sure on every side upon him that offendeth the king, as being committed to suffer death: even so the priests make fast their temples with doors, with locks, and bars, lest their gods be spoiled with robbers.
|
|
19 T'ad foaddey cainleyn daue, eer, ny smoo na daue-hene, ny-yeih cha vod ad unnane y akin.

19 They light them candles, yea, more than for themselves, whereof they cannot see one.

|
20 They are as one of the beams of the temple, yet they say their hearts are gnawed upon by things creeping out of the earth; and when they eat them and their clothes, they feel it not.
|
|
21 Ta ny eddinyn oc doo lesh y jaagh ta cheet magh ass y chiamble.
|
21 Their faces are blacked through the smoke that cometh out of the temple.
|
|
22 Er ny kirp as ny king oc ta craitnagyn soie, gollanyn-geayee as ushagyn, as ny keiyt myrgeddin.
|
22 Upon their bodies and heads sit bats, swallows, and birds, and the cats also.
|
|
23 Liorish shoh foddee fys 've eu nagh vel ad jeeghyn: shen-y-fa nagh gow-jee aggle roue.

23 By this ye may know that they are no gods: therefore fear them not.
|
|
24 Ga dy vel airh moo dy yannoo aalin jeu, mannagh glen ad yn mergey jeh, cha jean ad soilshean: son chamoo tra v’ad er nyn lheie dy dennee ad eh.
|
24 Notwithstanding the gold that is about them to make them beautiful, except they wipe off the rust, they will not shine: for neither when they were molten did they feel it.
|
|
25 Ny reddyn shen ayndoo nagh vel yn ennal, t'ad er ny[n] gionnaghey son y phrice smoo.
|
25 The things wherein there is no breath are bought for a most high price.
|
|
26 T'ad er ny[n] ymmyrkey seose er geayltyn, son nagh vel cassyn oc; liorish shoh t'ad soilshaghey da deiney dy vel ad neu-feeu.
|
26 They are borne upon shoulders, having no feet whereby they declare unto men that they be nothing worth.
|

27 T'adsyn myrgeddin ta shirveish ad goaill nearey: son my huittys ad gys y thalloo ec traa erbee, cha vod ad troggal seose reesht jeu-hene: chamoo, my hoie-ys fer ad seose jeeragh, oddys ad gleashagh jeu-hene: chamoo, my vees ad er nyn lhoobey sheese, oddys ad ad-hene y yeeraghey: agh t'ad soiaghey giootyn er y veealloo oc, myr gys deiney marroo.
|
27 They also that serve them are ashamed: for if they fall to the ground at any time, they cannot rise up again of themselves: neither, if one set them upright, can they move of themselves: neither, if they be bowed down, can they make themselves straight: but they set gifts before them as unto dead men.
|
|
28 Er-son ny reddyn t'er ny hebbal huc, ta ny saggyrtyn oc creck as jummal; myr shen neesht, ta ny mraane oc sailley as tashtey paart jeh'n chooid cheddin, agh da'n boght as yn annoonagh cha der ad veg jeh.
|
28 As for the things that are sacrificed unto them, their priests sell and abuse; in like manner their wives lay up part thereof in salt; but unto the poor and impotent they give nothing of it.
|
|
29 Ta mraane neu-ghlen as mraane 'sy lhiabbee-hoalt gee ny ourallyn oc: liorish ny reddyn shoh oddys fys y v'eu nagh vel ad jeeghyn: nagh gow-jee aggle roue.

29 Menstruous women and women in childbed eat their sacrifices: by these things ye may know that they are no gods: fear them not.
|
|
30 Son kys oddys ad ve enmyssit jeeghyn? er-yn-oyr dy vel mraane soiagh bee roish ny jeeghyn argid, airh, as fuygh.

30 For how can they be called gods? because women set meat before the gods of silver, gold, and wood.
|
|
31 As ta ny saggyrtyn soie ayns ny chiambleyn oc, lesh nyn eaddagh raipit, as nyn ging as fassaagyn baarit, as kione-rooisht.
|
31 And the priests sit in their temples, having their clothes rent, and their heads and beards shaven, and nothing upon their heads.
|
|
32 T'ad gyllagh as keayney kiongoyrt rish ny jeeghyn oc, myr ta deiney jannoo ec y far[r]arey tra ta fer marroo.
|
32 They roar and cry before their gods, as men do at the feast when one is dead.
|
|
33 Ta ny saggyrtyn myrgeddin goaill jeu ny garmadyn dy choamrey ny mraane as y chloan oc-hene.
|
33 The priests also take off their garments, and clothe their wives and children.
|
|
34 Lhig da ve olk ta fer jannoo daue, ny mie, cha vod ad cooilleeney 'yannoo er-y-hon: cha vod ad ree y hoiaghey seose, chamoo oddys ad eh y choyrt sheese.
|
34 Whether it be evil that one doeth unto them, or good, they are not able to recompense it: they can neither set up a king, nor put him down.
|
|
35 Myrgeddin, cha vod ad edyr berchys ny argid y choyrt: ga, dy jinnagh dooinney breearey huc, as gyn dy reayll eh, cha jean ad shirrey eh.
|
35 In like manner, they can neither give riches nor money: though a man make a vow unto them, and keep it not, they will not require it.
|
|
36 Cha vod ad dooinney erbee y hauail veih baase, chamoo yn annoonagh y livrey veih'n niartal.
|
36 They can save no man from death, neither deliver the weak from the mighty.
|
|
37 Cha vod ad e hoilshey 'choyrt da dooinney doal, ny cooney lesh dooinney erbee ayns e hennid.
|
37 They cannot restore a blind man to his sight, nor help any man in his distress.
|
|
38 Cha vod ad myghin 'hoilshey da'n ven-treoghe, ny mie y yannoo da'n chloan gyn ayr.
|
38 They can shew no mercy to the widow, nor do good to the fatherless.

39 Ta ny jeeghyn maidjey oc, ta coodit lesh airh as argid, goll-rish ny claghyn ta cleiyht ass y clieau: bee adsyn ta cur ooashley daue er nyn goyrt gys nearey.

39 Their gods of wood, and which are overlaid with gold and silver, are like the stones that be hewn out of the mountain: they that worship them shall be confounded.
|
|
40 Kys yinnagh dooinney eisht smooinaghtyn as gra dy vel ad jeeghyn, tra ta eer ny Chaldeanee ad-hene dy vee-ooashlaghey ad?
|
40 How should a man then think and say that they are gods, when even the Chaldeans themselves dishonour them?
|
|
41 Quoi my hee ad fer balloo nagh vod loayrt, t'ad dy choyrt lhieu eh, as guee gys Bel dy vod eh loayrt, myr dy beagh eh abyl dy hoiggal.

41 Who if they shall see one dumb that cannot speak, they bring him, and intreat Bel that he may speak, as though he were able to understand.
|
|
42 Foast cha vod ad toiggal shoh ad-hene, as faagail ad: son cha vel oc tushtey erbee.

42 Yet they cannot understand this themselves, and leave them: for they have no knowledge.

|
43 The women also with cords about them, sitting in the ways, burn bran for perfume: but if any of them, drawn by some that passeth by, lie with him, she reproacheth her fellow, that she was not thought as worthy as herself, nor her cord broken.
|
|
44 Cre erbee ta jeant ny mast'oc te foalsey: kys oddys eh eisht ve smooinit ny grait dy vel ad jeeghyn?

44 Whatsoever is done among them is false: how may it then be thought or said that they are gods?
|
|
45 T'ad jeant liorish seiyr as gauenyn-airhey: cha vod ad 've veg arragh agh myr saillish yn obbree ad dy ve.

45 They are made of carpenters and goldsmiths: they can be nothing else than the workmen will have them to be.
|
|
46 As cha vod ad shen hene ren jannoo ad dy bragh tannaghtyn foddey; kys eisht oddys ny reddyn ta jeant lioroo ve jeeghyn?

46 And they themselves that made them can never continue long; how should then the things that are made of them be gods?
|
|
47 Son daag ad breagyn as oltooanyn dauesyn ta cheet nyn-yei.

47 For they left lies and reproaches to them that come after.
|
|
48 Son tra ta cheet orroo caggey erbee ny paitt, ta ny saggyrtyn cur nyn goyrle dy cheilley, c’raad oddys ad ve follit maroosyn.

48 For when there cometh any war or plague upon them, the priests consult with themselves, where they may be hidden with them.
|
|
49 Kys eisht nagh vod deiney cronnaghey nagh vel ad-shen jeeghyn erbee, nagh vod ad-hene y hauail edyr voish caggey, ny voish paitt?

49 How then cannot men perceive that they be no gods, which can neither save themselves from war, nor from plague?
|
|
50 Son fakin nagh vel ad agh fuygh, er ny choodaghey harrish lesh argid as airh, bee fys rish ny lurg shoh dy vel ad foalsey:

50 For seeing they be but of wood, and overlaid with silver and gold, it shall be known hereafter that they are false:

|
51 As hig eh er-ash baghtal dy liooar da dy chooilley ashoon as ree nagh vel ad jeeghyn erbee, agh obbyr laueyn deiney, as nagh vel veg dy obbyr Yee ayndoo.

51 And it shall manifestly appear to all nations and kings that they are no gods, but the works of men's hands, and that there is no work of God in them.
|
|
52 Quoi eisht vees mee-hushtagh jeh nagh vel ad jeeghyn edyr?

52 Who then may not know that they are no gods?

53 For neither can they set up a king in the land, nor give rain unto men.

54 Neither can they judge their own cause, nor redress a wrong, being unable: for they are as crows between heaven and earth.

55 Myr shen tra huittys aile er thie ny jeeghyn maidjey, t’er nyn goodaghey harrish lesh airh ny argid, nee ny saggyrtyn oc chea ersooyl, as scapail; agh adsyn ad-hene vees losht veih my-cheilley myr darragyn.
|
55 Whereupon when fire falleth upon the house of gods of wood, or laid over with gold or silver, their priests will flee away, and escape; but they themselves shall be burned asunder like beams.
|
|
56 Ny sodjey na shoh, cha vod ad shassoo magh noi ree erbee ny noidyn: kys eisht oddys eh ve smooinit ny grait dy vel ad jeeghyn[?]
|
56 Moreover they cannot withstand any king or enemies: how can it then be thought or said that they be gods?
|
|
57 Chamoo dy vel ny jeeghyn maidjey shoh, ta ooilley lesh argid as airh, abyl dy scapail voish maarlee ny roosteyryn.
|
57 Neither are those gods of wood, and laid over with silver or gold, able to escape either from thieves or robbers.
|
|
58 Yn airh as argid, as ny garmadyn lhieu t'ad coamrit, ta’n vooinjer lajer goaill as goll ersooyl lhieu: chamoo oddys ad cooney lhieu-hene.
|
58 Whose gold, and silver, and garments wherewith they are clothed, they that are strong take, and go away withal: neither are they able to help themselves.
|
|
59 Shen-y-fa te ny share dy ve ree ta gys soilshaghey e phooar, er-nonney saagh vondeishagh ayns thie, ta gys ymmyd yn oaner, na dy ve lheid ny jeeghyn, ny dy ve son dorrys er thie, dy reayll sauchey ny reddyn ta sthie ayn, cha nee dy ve lheid ny jeeghyn; ny son frap fuygh ayns plaase, cha nee dy ve lheid ny jeeghyn foalsey.
|
59 Therefore it is better to be a king that sheweth his power, or else a profitable vessel in an house, which the owner shall have use of, than such false gods; or to be a door in an house, to keep such things therein, than such false gods. or a pillar of wood in a a palace, than such false gods.
|
|
60 Son grian, eayst, as rollageyn, liorish dy vel ad sollys, as currit dy chooilleeney nyn oikyn, t'ad biallagh.
|
60 For sun, moon, and stars, being bright and sent to do their offices, are obedient.
|
|
610 Myrgeddin yn tendreil, tra te brishey magh te aashagh dy akin, as er 'naght cheddin ta'n gheay sheidey ayns dy chooilley heer.
|
61 In like manner the lightning when it breaketh forth is easy to be seen; and after the same manner the wind bloweth in every country.
|
|
62 As tra ta Jee cur sarey da ny bodjallyn dy gholl magh harrish y slane seihll, t'ad jannoo myr t'er ny hirrey orroo.
|
62 And when God commandeth the clouds to go over the whole world, they do as they are bidden.
|
|
63 As yn aile t’er ny choyrt veih heose dy chur mow croink as keylljyn, te jannoo myr t'er ny harey da: agh ad shid cha vel [ad] goll-roo shoh edyr ayns shilley ny pooar.
|
63 And the fire sent from above to consume hills and woods doeth as it is commanded: but these are like unto them neither in shew nor power.
|
|
64 Er-y-fa shen cha vel eh dy ve smooinit ny grait dy vel ad jeeghyn, fakin nagh vod ad edyr cooishyn y vriwnys, ny foays y yannoo da deiney.
|
64 Wherefore it is neither to be supposed nor said that they are gods, seeing, they are able neither to judge causes, nor to do good unto men.
|
|
65 Toiggal er-y-fa shen nagh vel ad jeeghyn erbee, nagh gow-jee aggle roue.
|
65 Knowing therefore that they are no gods, fear them not,
|
|
66 Son cha vod ad edyr mollaght ny bannaght y chur er reeaghyn:
|
66 For they can neither curse nor bless kings:
|
|
67 Chamoo oddys ad cowraghyn y hoilshaghey 'syn aer mastey ny hashoonee, ny soilshean myr y ghrian, ny soilshey 'choyrt myr yn eayst.
|
67 Neither can they shew signs in the heavens among the heathen, nor shine as the sun, nor give light as the moon.
|
|
68 Ta ny beiyn maaish ny share na adsyn: son foddee ad geddyn fo fastee, as cooney lhieu-hene.
|
68 The beasts are better than they: for they can get under a cover and help themselves.
|
|
69 Cha vel eh eisht, er aght erbee, jeeaghyn dooinyn dy vel ad jeeghyn: shen-y-fa nagh gow-jee aggle roue.
|
69 It is then by no means manifest unto us that they are gods: therefore fear them not.
|
|
70 Son myr nagh vel buggane-ushag ayns garey dy chucumberyn freayll veg: shen myr ta ny jeeghyn maidjey oc, ta coodit harrish lesh argid as airh.
|
70 For as a scarecrow in a garden of cucumbers keepeth nothing: so are their gods of wood, and laid over with silver and gold.
|
|
71 As myrgeddin ny jeeghyn maidjey oc, ta coodit harrish lesh argid as airh, [t’ad] goll-rish drine gial ayns garey-mess, er ta dy chooilley ushag soie; as myrgeddin goll-rish corp marroo ta ceauit magh ‘sy dorraghys.
|
71 And likewise their gods of wood, and laid over with silver and gold, are like to a white thorn in an orchard, that every bird sitteth upon; as also to a dead body, that is east into the dark.
|
|
72 As ver shiu enney orroo nagh nee jeeghyn erbee ad liorish yn gorrym-jiarg sollys ta gaase loau orroo: as vees adsyn ad-hene mow fy-yerrey, as bee ad scammylt ayns y cheer.
|
72 And ye shall know them to be no gods by the bright purple that rotteth upon them: and they themselves afterward shall be eaten, and shall be a reproach in the country.
|
|
73 Ny share er-y-fa shen ta'n dooinney cairal nagh vel echey jallooyn erbee: son bee eshyn foddey voish oltooan.
|
73 Better therefore is the just man that hath none idols: for he shall be far from reproach.

Susanna and the Elders
|
|
1 Va baghey ayns Babylon dooinney enmysit Joacim:
|
1 There dwelt a man in Babylon, called Joacim:
|
|
2 As ghow eh ben, va'n ennym eck Susanna, inneen Chelcias, ben feer waagh, as 'nane va goaill aggle roish y Chiarn.
|
2 And he took a wife, whose name was Susanna, the daughter of Chelcias, a very fair woman, and one that feared the Lord.
|
|
3 Va'n ayr as y voir eck myrgeddin crauee, as dynsee ad yn inneen oc cordail rish leigh Voses.
|
3 Her parents also were righteous, and taught their daughter according to the law of Moses.
|
|
4 Nish va Joacim dooinney mooar berchagh, as va garey aalin echey lhiantyn gys e hie: as huggeysyn ren ny Hewnyn taaghey; son dy row eh ny smoo ooasle na ooilley'n vooinjer elley.
|
4 Now Joacim was a great rich man, and had a fair garden joining unto his house: and to him resorted the Jews; because he was more honourable than all others.
|
|
5 Yn vlein cheddin va jees jeh shanstyryn y pobble pointit dy ve briwnyn, nyn lheid as ren y Chiarn loayrt jeu, dy daink mee-chairys voish Babylon, as voish briwnyn y chenn traa, va jeeaghyn myr dy beagh ad reill y pobble.
|
5 The same year were appointed two of the ancients of the people to be judges, such as the Lord spake of, that wickedness came from Babylon from ancient judges, who seemed to govern the people.
|
|
6 V'ad shoh cheet dy mennick gys thie Yoacim: as ooilley ny va cooishyn leigh erbee oc, haink ad huc.
|
6 These kept much at Joacim's house: and all that had any suits in law came unto them.
|
|
7 Nish tra jimmee yn pobble roue ass y raad ec y vunlaa, hie Susanna ayns garey e sheshey dy walkal.
|
7 Now when the people departed away at noon, Susanna went into her husband's garden to walk.
|
|
8 As honnick yn daa hanstyr ee goll ayn dy chooilley laa [as shooyl] ; myr shen dy row yn yeearree oc jeant er-rouyl huic.
|
8 And the two elders saw her going in every day, and walking; so that their lust was inflamed toward her.
|
|
9 As ren ad nyn aigney hene y ghoalley, as hyndaa ad ersooyl nyn sooillyn, nagh jinnagh ad jeeaghyn gys niau, ny geill y choyrt da briwnysyn cairagh.
|
9 And they perverted their own mind, and turned away their eyes, that they might not look unto heaven, nor remember just judgments.
|
|
10 As ga dy row ad ny-neesht er ny lhottey lesh y ghraih eck, foast cha by-loys da'n derrey yeh e heaghyn y hoilshaghey da’n jeh elley.
|
10 And albeit they both were wounded with her love, yet durst not one shew another his grief.
|
|
11 Son va nearey orroo dy ghoaill-rish nyn yeearree, dy row ad miandagh er geddyn dy yannoo maree.
|
11 For they were ashamed to declare their lust, that they desired to have to do with her.
|
|
12 Foast yeeagh ad magh dy jeidagh veih laa dy laa d'akin ee.
|
12 Yet they watched diligently from day to day to see her.
|
|
12 As dooyrt yn derrey yeh rish y jeh elley, Lhig dooin nish goll thie: son te traa-mrastyragh.
|
13 And the one said to the other, Let us now go home: for it is dinner time.
|
|
14 Myr shen tra v'ad ersooyl magh, scar ad veih my-cheilley, as chyndaa reesht haink ad gys yn un voayll; as lurg daue v'er vriaght jeh my-cheilley yn oyr, ghow ad rish nyn yeearree: eisht phoint ad traa ny-neesht cooidjagh, tra oddagh ad geddyn ee ny lomarcan.
|
14 So when they were gone out, they parted the one from the other, and turning back again they came to the same place; and after that they had asked one another the cause, they acknowledged their lust: then appointed they a time both together, when they might find her alone.
|
|
15 As haink eh gy kione myr v'ad fieau son traa jesh, dy jagh ee stiagh myr bollagh ee marish daa ven aeg ynrican, as v’ee aignagh dy niee ee-hene 'sy gharey: son ve cheh.
|
15 And it fell out, as they watched a fit time, she went in as before with two maids only, and she was desirous to wash herself in the garden: for it was hot.
|
|
16 As cha row peccagh erbee ayns shen er-lhimmey jeh'n daa hanstyr, v'er n’ollaghey ad-hene, as ceau sooill urree.
|
16 And there was no body there save the two elders, that had hid themselves, and watched her.
|
|
17 As dooyrt ee rish ny mraane aegey eck, Cur-jee lhieu hym ooill as sheeabyn, as jeigh-jee dorryssyn y gharey, dy voddym mee-hene y niee.
|
17 Then she said to her maids, Bring me oil and washing balls, and shut the garden doors, that I may wash me.
|
|
18 As ren adsyn myr hir ee orroo [as] yeigh ad dorryssyn y gharey as hie ad-hene magh er dorryssyn dooint dy chur lhieu huic ny reddyn v'ee er ghra roo: agh cha vaik ad ny shanstyryn, son v'ad follit.
|
18 And they did as she bade them, and shut the garden doors, and went out themselves at privy doors to fetch the things that she had commanded them: but they saw not the elders, because they were hid.
|
|
19 Nish tra va ny mraane aegey ersooyl magh, dirree yn daa hanstyr seose, as roie ad huic, gra,
|
19 Now when the maids were gone forth, the two elders rose up, and ran unto her, saying,
|
|
20 Cur-my-ner, ta dorryssyn y gharey jeight, nagh lheear da dooinney erbee shin, as ta shinyn ayns graih rhyts; shen-y-fa cur dt'aigney lhien, as lhie marin.
|
20 Behold, the garden doors are shut, that no man can see us, and we are in love with thee; therefore consent unto us, and lie with us.
|
|
21 Mannagh jean oo, nee mainyn feanish y ymmyrkey dt'oi, dy row dooinney aeg mayrt: as er-y-fa shen hug oo dty vraane aegey ersooyl void.
|
21 If thou wilt not, we will bear witness against thee, that a young man was with thee: and therefore thou didst send away thy maids from thee.
|
|
22 Eisht dosnee Susanna, as dooyrt ee, Ta mee chionnt er dy chooilley heu: son my nee'ms yn red shoh, te baase dou: as mannagh jean-ym eh, cha voddym scapail ny laueyn euish.
|
22 Then Susanna sighed, and said, I am straitened on every side: for if I do this thing, it is death unto me: and if I do it not I cannot escape your hands.
|
|
23 Te ny share er-my-hon dy huittym ayns ny laueyn eu, as gyn dy yannoo eh, na dy chur-rish peccah ayns shilley'n Chiarn.
|
23 It is better for me to fall into your hands, and not do it, than to sin in the sight of the Lord.
|
|
24 Er shen dyllee Susannah lesh ard-choraa: as dyllee yn daa hanstyr magh noi eck.
|
24 With that Susanna cried with a loud voice: and the two elders cried out against her.
|
|
25 Eisht roie fer jeu, as doshil eh dorrys y gharey.
|
25 Then ran the one, and opened the garden door.
|
|
26 Myr shen tra cheayll sharvaantyn y thie yn yllagh 'sy gharey, ying ad stiagh er dorrys dooint, dy akin c’red va jeant ree.
|
26 So when the servants of the house heard the cry in the garden, they rushed in at the privy door, to see what was done unto her.
|
|
27 Agh tra va ny shanstyryn er hoilshaghey nyn gooish, va ny sharvaantyn fo niart nearey: son cha row rieau roie lheid y goo shen jeh Susanna.
|
27 But when the elders had declared their matter, the servants were greatly ashamed: for there was never such a report made of Susanna.
|
|
28 As haink eh gy kione laa-ny-vairagh, tra va'n pobble er haglym gys thie Yoacim e sheshey, dy daink ny shanstyryn myrgeddin lane dy spyrryd olkyssagh noi Susanna dy choyrt ee gy baase;
|
28 And it came to pass the next day, when the people were assembled to her husband Joacim, the two elders came also full of mischievous imagination against Susanna to put her to death;
|
|
29 As dooyrt ad kiongoyrt rish y pobble. Cur-jee fys son Susanna, inneen Chelcias, ben Yoacim; as myr shen hug ad fys.
|
29 And said before the people, Send for Susanna, the daughter of Chelcias, Joacim's wife. And so they sent.
|
|
30 Myr shen haink ee marish e hayr as e moir, e cloan, as ooilley e kynney.
|
30 So she came with her father and mother, her children, and all her kindred.
|
|
31 Nish va Susanna ben feer vettey, as slane-aalin dy yeeaghyn urree.
|
31 Now Susanna was a very delicate woman, and beauteous to behold.
|
|
32 As hug ny drogh gheiney shoh sarey dy roostey’n eddin eck (son v’ee coodit) dy voddagh ad ve lhieent lesh yn aalid eck.
|
32 And these wicked men commanded to uncover her face, (for she was covered) that they might be filled with her beauty.
|
|
33 Shen-y-fa ren e caarjyn, as ooilley ny va fakin ee, keayney.
|
33 Therefore her friends and all that saw her wept.
|
|
34 Eisht hass y daa hanstyr seose ayns mean y pobble, as lhie ad nyn laueyn er y chione eck.
|
34 Then the two elders stood up in the midst of the people, and laid their hands upon her head.
|
|
35 As ish keayney, yeeagh ee seose gys niau: son va e cree treishteil ayns y Chiarn.
|
35 And she weeping looked up toward heaven: for her heart trusted in the Lord.
|
|
36 As dooyrt ny shanstyryn, Myr va shinyn shooyl 'sy gharey ny lomarcan, haink y ven shoh marish daa ven aeg, as jeigh dorryssyn y gharey hug ee ny mraane aegey ersooyl.
|
36 And the elders said, As we walked in the garden alone, this woman came in with two maids, and shut the garden doors, and sent the maids away.
|
|
37 Eisht dooinney aeg v'ayns shen follit, haink [eh] huic as lhie eh maree.
|
37 Then a young man, who there was hid, came unto her, and lay with her.
|
|
38 Eisht shinyn, va nyn shassoo ayns corneil jeh'n gharey, fakin yn olk shoh, roie shin huc.
|
38 Then we that stood in a corner of the garden, seeing this wickedness, ran unto them.
|
|
39 As tra honnick shin ad cooidjagh, yn dooinney cha dod shin y chummal: son v'eh ny stroshey na shin, as doshil eh yn dorrys, as lheim eh magh.
|
39 And when we saw them together, the man we could not hold: for he was stronger than we, and opened the door, and leaped out.
|
|
40 Agh er n'goaill y ven shoh, vrie shin quoi va’n dooinney aeg, agh cha jinnagh ee ginsh dooin: jeh ny reddyn shoh ta shinyn gymmyrkey feanish.
|
40 But having taken this woman, we asked who the young man was, but she would not tell us: these things do we testify.
|
|
41 Eisht chreid yn cochruinnaght ad, myr she adsyn va shanstyryn as briwnyn y pobble: myr shen ren ad ee y gheyrey gy baase.
|
41 Then the assembly believed them as those that were the elders and judges of the people: so they condemned her to death.
|
|
42 Eisht deie Susanna magh lesh ard-choraa, as dooyrt ee, O Yee dy bragh farraghtyn, ta toiggal ny folliaghtyn, as ayd ta fys er dy chooilley nhee ro-laue:
|
42 Then Susanna cried out with a loud voice, and said, O everlasting God, that knowest the secrets, and knowest all things before they be:
|
|
43 Ta fys ayds dy vel ad er n'ymmyrkey feanish foalsey m'oi, as cur-my ner, shegin dooys baase y hurranse; ga nagh ren mee rieau lheid ny reddyn as ta ny deiney shoh dy myskidagh er lhiassaghey m'oi.
|
43 Thou knowest that they have borne false witness against me, and, behold, I must die; whereas I never did such things as these men have maliciously invented against me.
|
|
44 As cheayll y Chiarn e coraa.
|
44 And the Lord heard her voice.
|
|
45 Shen-y-fa tra v'ee er ny leeideil dy ve currit dy baase, hrog y Chiarn seose spyrryd crauee scollag aeg; va'n ennym echey Daniel:
|
45 Therefore when she was led to be put to death, the Lord raised up the holy spirit of a young youth whose name was Daniel:
|
|
46 Quoi deie lesh coraa ard, Ta mish seyr voish fuill y ven shoh.
|
46 Who cried with a loud voice, I am clear from the blood of this woman.
|
|
47 Eish[t] hyndaa ooilley'n sleih ad hene huggey, as dooyrt ad, Cre ta dy ve toiggit liorish ny focklyn shoh t'ou er loayrt?
|
47 Then all the people turned them toward him, and said, What mean these words that thou hast spoken?
|
|
48 Eisht, ny hassoo 'sy vean oc, dooyrt eh, Vel shiu lheid ny ommidanyn, shiuish vec Israel, dy vel shiu fegooish feyshtey, ny toiggal jeh'n irriney, er gheyrey inneen jeh Israel?
|
48 So he standing in the midst of them said, Are ye such fools, ye sons of Israel, that without examination or knowledge of the truth ye have condemned a daughter of Israel?
|
|
49 Chyndaa-jee reesht gys ynnyd y vriwnys: son t'ad er n’ymmyrkey feanish foalsey n'oi eck.
|
49 Return again to the place of judgment: for they have borne false witness against her.
|
|
50 Er-y-fa shen hyndaa ooilley'n pobble reesht dy tappee, as dooyrt ny shanstyryn rish, Tar, soie sheese ny mast' ain, as insh dooin eh, fakin dy vel Jee er chur dhyt ooashley shanstyr.
|
50 Wherefore all the people turned again in haste, and the elders said unto him, Come, sit down among us, and shew it us, seeing God hath given thee the honour of an elder.
|
|
51 Eisht dooyrt Daniel roo, Cur-jee yn jees shoh gys y derrey heu, yn derrey yeh foddey voish y jeh elley, as neem’s ad y eyshtey.
|
51 Then said Daniel unto them, Put these two aside one far from another, and I will examine them.
|
|
52 Myr shen tra v'ad er nyn scarrey yn derrey yeh veih'n jeh elley, deie eh er fer jeu, as dooyrt eh rish, O uss ta er n’aase shenn ayns drogh-yannoo, nish ta dty pheccaghyn t'ou hannah er n'yannoo er heet gys soilshey.
|
52 So when they were put asunder one from another, he called one of them, and said unto him, O thou that art waxen old in wickedness, now thy sins which thou hast committed aforetime are come to light.
|
|
53 Son t'ou er n'ockley magh briwnys foalsey, as er gheyrey yn ôney, as er n'eaysley yn kyndagh; son ooilley as dy vel yn Chiarn gra, Yn oney as ynrick cha jean oo y stroie.
|
53 For thou hast pronounced false judgment and hast condemned the innocent and hast let the guilty go free; albeit the Lord saith, The innocent and righteous shalt thou not slay.
|
|
54 Nish eisht, my t'ou er vakin ee, insh dou, Fo cre'n billey honnick oo ad ny-neesht cooidjagh? Dreggyr eshyn, Fo billey-mastic.
|
54 Now then, if thou hast seen her, tell me, Under what tree sawest thou them companying together? Who answered, Under a mastick tree.
|
|
55 As dooyrt Daniel, Feer vie; t'ou dty vreagerey noi dty chione hene; son eer nish ta ainle Yee er gheddyn briwnys Yee dy dty ghiarey ayns jees.
|
55 And Daniel said, Very well; thou hast lied against thine own head; for even now the angel of God hath received the sentence of God to cut thee in two.
|
|
56 Er shen hug eh gys y derrey heu eh, as doardee eh yn fer elley dy v’er ny choyrt lesh, as dooyrt eh rish, O uss jeh sheel Chanaan, as cha nee jeh Juda, aalid t'er dty volley, as ta saynt er chamlaagey dty chree.
|
56 So he put him aside, and commanded to bring the other, and said unto him, O thou seed of Chanaan, and not of Juda, beauty hath deceived thee, and lust hath perverted thine heart.
|
|
57 Shoh myr ta shiu er ghellal rish inneenyn Israel as er n'agglaghey ad myr shen dy jagh ad ry-heshiaght meriu: agh inneen Yuda cha goghe [ee] jeh'n vee-chraueeaght eu.
|
57 Thus have ye dealt with the daughters of Israel, and they for fear companied with you: but the daughter of Juda would not abide your wickedness.
|
|
58 Nish er-y-fa shen insh dou, Fo cre'n billey ghow uss ad ny-neesht cooidjagh? Dansoor eh, Fo billey-hollin.
|
58 Now therefore tell me, Under what tree didst thou take them companying together? Who answered, Under an holm tree.
|
|
59 Eisht dooyrt Daniel rish, Mie; t’ou uss neesht dy vreagerey noi dty chione hene: son ta ainle Yee farkiaght lesh y chliwe dy dty yiarey ayns jees, dy vod eh oo y stroie.
|
59 Then said Daniel unto him, Well; thou hast also lied against thine own head: for the angel of God waiteth with the sword to cut thee in two, that he may destroy you.
|
|
60 Er shen dyllee yn slane chaglym lesh coraa ard, as ren ad Jee y voylley, ta sauail adsyn ta treishteil aynsyn.
|
60 With that all the assembly cried out with a loud voice, and praised God, who saveth them that trust in him.
|
|
61 As dirree ad n'oi yn daa hanstyr (son ren Daniel magh ad dy ve feanishyn foalsey liorish nyn meeal hene).
|
61 And they arose against the two elders, for Daniel had convicted them of false witness by their own mouth:
|
|
62 As cordail rish leigh Voses, ren ad roo ’naght myr chiare adsyn dy goanlyssagh dy yannoo rish nyn naboo: as hug ad dy baase ad. Myr shoh va’n uill gyn loght er ny hauail yn laa cheddin.
|
62 And according to the law of Moses they did unto them in such sort as they maliciously intended to do to their neighbour: and they put them to death. Thus the innocent blood was saved the same day.
|
|
63 Shen-y-fa ren Chelcias as e ven Jee y voylley son Susanna nyn inneen, marish Joacim e sheshey, as ooilley'n kynney, er-yn-oyr as nagh row neu-ynrickys er ny gheddyn ayn-jee.
|
63 Therefore Chelcias and his wife praised God for their daughter Susanna, with Joacim her husband, and all the kindred, because there was no dishonesty found in her.
|
|
64 Veih'n laa shen magh va goo mooar ec Daniel ayns shilley'n pobble.
|
64 From that day forth was Daniel had in great reputation in the sight of the people.

4 As hug y ree ooashley da, as hie eh stiagh gagh laa dy choyrt arrym da; agh dooashlee Daniel e Yee hene. As dooyrt y ree rish, Kys nagh vel uss gooashlaghey Bel?
|
4 And the king worshipped it and went daily to adore it: but Daniel worshipped his own God. And the king said unto him, Why dost not thou worship Bel?
|
|
5 Dansoor eshyn as dooyrt eh, Er-y-fa nagh voddyms gooashlaghey jallooyn jeant lesh laueyn, agh y Jee bio, t'er chroo niau as thalloo, as echey ta'n ard-phooar harrish dy chooilley eill.
|
5 Who answered and said, Because I may not worship idols made with hands, but the living God, who hath created the heaven and the earth, and hath sovereignty over all flesh.
|
|
6 Eisht dooyrt y ree rish, Nee smooinaghtyn t'ou nagh vel Bel ny Yee bio? nagh vel oo fakin cre wheesh as t'eh gee as giu dy chooilley laa?
|
6 Then said the king unto him, Thinkest thou not that Bel is a living God? seest thou not how much he eateth and drinketh every day?
|
|
7 Eisht ren Daniel smooirooil as gra, O ree, nagh bee er dty volley: son cha vel shoh agh cray cheu-sthie as prash cheu-mooie, as cha ren eh rieau gee ny giu nhee erbee.
|
7 Then Daniel smiled, and said, O king, be not deceived: for this is but clay within, and brass without, and did never eat or drink any thing.
|
|
8 Er shen va'n ree jymmoosagh, as deie eh son e haggyrtyn, as dooyrt eh roo, Mannagh ninsh shiuish dooys quoi ta gee ooilley ny reddyn shoh, shegin diu ve currit dy baase.
|
8 So the king was wroth, and called for his priests, and said unto them, If ye tell me not who this is that devoureth these expences, ye shall die.
|
|
9 Agh my oddys shiu prowal dooys dy vel Bel gee ad, eisht shegin [da] Daniel ’ve currit dy baase: son t'eh er loayrt goan mollaghtagh noi Bel. As dooyrt Daniel rish y ree, Lhig da 've cordail rish dty ghoo.
|
9 But if ye can certify me that Bel devoureth them, then Daniel shall die: for he hath spoken blasphemy against Bel. And Daniel said unto the king, Let it be according to thy word.
|
|
10 (Nish va saggyrtyn Bel three-feed as jeih, cheu-mooie jeh ny mraane as chloan oc); as hie'n ree marish Daniel stiagh ayns chiamble Bel.
|
10 Now the priests of Bel were threescore and ten, beside their wives and children. And the king went with Daniel into the temple of Bel.
|
|
11 Er shen dooyrt saggyrtyn Bel, Cur-my-ner, hed mainyn magh: agh uss, O ree, kiartee yn bee, as fow aarloo yn feeyn, as jeigh yn dorrys dy shickyr, as seal eh lesh dty chowrey hene;
|
11 So Bel's priests said, Lo, we go out: but thou, O king, set on the meat, and make ready the wine, and shut the door fast and seal it with thine own signet;
|
|
12 As mairagh tra hig oo stiagh, mannagh vow uss dy vel Bel er n'ee seose ooilley, surree mainyn baase; er-nonney Daniel, ta loayrt dy foalsey nyn 'oi.
|
12 And to morrow when thou comest in, if thou findest not that Bel hath eaten up all, we will suffer death: or else Daniel, that speaketh falsely against us.
|
|
13 As choont ad beg jeh: son fo'n voayrd v'ad er n'yannoo fosley follit, er hie ad stiagh dy kinjagh, as stroie ad ny reddyn shoh.
|
13 And they little regarded it: for under the table they had made a privy entrance, whereby they entered in continually, and consumed those things.
|
|
14 Myr shen tra v'ad er n'gholl magh, hoie yn ree beaghey roish Bel. Nish va Daniel er n’oardrail da e harvaantyn ad dy chur lhieu leoie, as dy skeayley eh trooid-magh ooilley’n chiamble kionenee yn ree ny-lomarcan: eisht hie ad magh as yeigh ad y dorrys, as seal ad eh lesh cowrey'n ree, as hie ad rhymboo.
|
14 So when they were gone forth, the king set meats before Bel. Now Daniel had commanded his servants to bring ashes, and those they strewed throughout all the temple in the presence of the king alone: then went they out, and shut the door, and sealed it with the king's signet, and so departed.
|
|
15 Nish ayns yn oie haink ny saggyrtyn, marish nyn mraane as nyn gloan, (myr bollagh ad), as ren ad gee as giu seose ooilley.
|
15 Now in the night came the priests with their wives and children, as they were wont to do, and did eat and drink up all.
|
|
16 Ayns y voghrey dy moghey dirree yn ree, as Daniel marish.
|
16 In the morning betime the king arose, and Daniel with him.
|
|
17 As dooyrt y ree, Ghaniel, Vel ny sealyn slane? as dooyrt eshyn, Ta, O ree, t'ad slane.
|
17 And the king said, Daniel, are the seals whole? And he said, Yea, O king, they be whole.
|
|
18 As cha leah as doshil eh'n dorrys, yeeagh y ree er y voayrd, as deie eh lesh coraa ard, S'mooar t'ou uss, O Bel, as mayrt's cha vel molteyrys erbee.
|
18 And as soon as he had opened the door, the king looked upon the table, and cried with a loud voice, Great art thou, O Bel, and with thee is no deceit at all.
|
|
19 Eisht ghear Daniel, as chum eh yn ree nagh darragh eh stiagh, as dooyrt eh, Jeeagh er y laare, as gow tastey vie jeh quoi ny kesmadyn-cass ad shoh.
|
19 Then laughed Daniel, and held the king that he should not go in, and said, Behold now the pavement, and mark well whose footsteps are these.
|
|
20 As dooyrt y ree, Hee'm kesmadyn-cass deiney, mraane, as paitchyn. As eisht va'n ree jymmoosagh.
|
20 And the king said, I see the footsteps of men, women, and children. And then the king was angry,
|
|
21 As goaill ny saggyrtyn marish nyn mraane as paitchyn, yeeagh ad da yn dorrys follit raad haink ad stiagh, dy stroie lheid ny reddyn as v'er y voayrd.
|
21 And took the priests with their wives and children, who shewed him the privy doors, where they came in, and consumed such things as were upon the table.
|
|
22 Shen-y-fa varr y ree ad, as livrey eh Bel gys pooar Ghaniel, quoi stroie eh-hene as e hiamble.
|
22 Therefore the king slew them, and delivered Bel into Daniel's power, who destroyed him and his temple.
|
|
23 As 'syn ynnyd cheddin va Dragon mooar, da hug mooinjer Vabylon ooashley.
|
23 And in that same place there was a great dragon, which they of Babylon worshipped.
|
|
24 As dooyrt y ree rish Daniel, Jean oo myrgeddin gra dy vel shoh dy phrash? Jeeagh, t'eh bio, t'eh gee as giu; cha vod oo gra nagh vel eh shoh ny Yee bio: er-y-fa shen cur ooashley da.
|
24 And the king said unto Daniel, Wilt thou also say that this is of brass? lo, he liveth, he eateth and drinketh; thou canst not say that he is no living god: therefore worship him.
|
|
25 Eisht dooyrt Daniel rish y ree, Verryms ooashley da'n Chiarn my Yee: son she eshyn y Jee bio.
|
25 Then said Daniel unto the king, I will worship the Lord my God: for he is the living God.
|
|
26 Agh cur kied dou, O ree, as nee'm yn Dragon shoh y stroie fegooish cliwe ny lorg. Dooyrt y ree, Ta mish cur kied dhyt.
|
26 But give me leave, O king, and I shall slay this dragon without sword or staff. The king said, I give thee leave.
|
|
27 Eisht ghow Daniel pick, as geirr, as geaysh, as vroie eh cooidjagh ad, as ren eh crammanyn y yannoo jeh'n chooid cheddin: shoh hug eh ayns beeal y Dragon, as lesh va'n Dragon er ny scoltey veih my cheilley: as dooyrt Daniel, Cur-my-ner, ad shoh ny jeeghyn ta shiuish dyn ooashlaghey.
|
27 Then Daniel took pitch, and fat, and hair, and did seethe them together, and made lumps thereof: this he put in the dragon's mouth, and so the dragon burst in sunder: and Daniel said, Lo, these are the gods ye worship.
|
|
28 Tra va mooinjer Vabylon er chlashtyn shen v'ad corree, as hug ad nyn goyrle dy-cheilley noi'n ree, gra, Ta'n ree er jeet dy ve ny Hew, as t'eh er stroie Bel, t'eh er varroo yn Dragon, as er choyrt ny saggyrtyn dy baase.
|
28 When they of Babylon heard that, they took great indignation, and conspired against the king, saying, The king is become a Jew, and he hath destroyed Bel, he hath slain the dragon, and put the priests to death.
|
|
29 Myr shen haink ad gys y ree, as dooyrt ad, Livrey hooin Daniel er-nonney nee mayd uss y stroie as dty hie.
|
29 So they came to the king, and said, Deliver us Daniel, or else we will destroy thee and thine house.
|
|
30 Nish tra honnick y ree dy row ad chionney er dy creoi, v'eh eignit as livrey eh Daniel huc:
|
30 Now when the king saw that they pressed him sore, being constrained, he delivered Daniel unto them:
|
|
31 As hilg ad eh ayns ooig ny lionyn: raad v'eh son shey laa.
|
31 Who cast him into the lions' den: where he was six days.
|
|
32 As ayns yn ooig va shiaght lionyn, as v'ad er choyrt daue dy chooilley laa daa chonvayrt, as daa cheyrrey: nagh row er ny choyrt daue tra shen, jerkal dy jinnagh ad gee Daniel.
|
32 And in the den there were seven lions, and they had given them every day two carcases, and two sheep: which then were not given to them, to the intent they might devour Daniel.
|
|
33 Nish va ayns Jewry phadeyr enmysit Habbacuc, v’er n’yannoo poddash, as er vrishee arran ayns meilley, as v'eh goll gys y vagher dy chur lesh eh gys ny beayneeyn.
|
33 Now there was in Jewry a prophet, called Habbacuc, who had made pottage, and had broken bread in a bowl, and was going into the field, for to bring it to the reapers.
|
|
34 Agh dooyrt ainle y Chiarn rish Habbacuc, Immee, cur lhiat yn jinnair shen t'ayd gys Babylon gys Daniel, quoi t'ayns ooig ny lionyn.
|
34 But the angel of the Lord said unto Habbacuc, Go, carry the dinner that thou hast into Babylon unto Daniel, who is in the lions' den.
|
|
35 As dooyrt Habbacuc, Hiarn, cha vaik mish rieau Babylon; chamoo ta fys aym c'raad ta'n ooig.
|
35 And Habbacuc said, Lord, I never saw Babylon; neither do I know where the den is.
|
|
36 Eaisht ghow ainle y Chiarn eh er mullagh e vollag, as hrog eh seose eh liorish folt e chione, as liorish jeeanid e spyrryd hug eh sheese eh ayns Babylon harrish yn ooig.
|
36 Then the angel of the Lord took him by the crown, and bare him by the hair of his head, and through the vehemency of his spirit set him in Babylon over the den.
|
|
37 As deie Habbacuc, gra, Ghaniel, Ghaniel, gow yn jinnair ta Jee er choyrt hood.
|
37 And Habbacuc cried, saying, O Daniel, Daniel, take the dinner which God hath sent thee.
|
|
38 As dooyrt Daniel, T'ou uss er chooinaghtyn orrym, O Yee: chamoo t'ou er hreigeil adsyn ta shirrey er-dty-hon's as ta graihagh ort.
|
38 And Daniel said, Thou hast remembered me, O God: neither hast thou forsaken them that seek thee and love thee.
|
|
39 Myr shen dirree Daniel, as ren eh gee: as hug ainle Chiarn Habbacuc ayns e ynnyd hene reesht er-y-chooyl.
|
39 So Daniel arose, and did eat: and the angel of the Lord set Habbacuc in his own place again immediately.
|
|
40 Er y chiaghtoo laa hie'n ree dy ghobberan son Daniel: as tra haink eh gys yn ooig, yeeagh eh ayn, as cur-my-ner, va Daniel ny hoie.
|
40 Upon the seventh day the king went to bewail Daniel: and when he came to the den, he looked in, and behold, Daniel was sitting.
|
|
41 Eisht deie yn ree lesh coraa ard, gra, S’mooar t’ou uss, O Chiarn Jee Ghaniel, as cha vel unnane erbee ta corrym rhyts.
|
41 Then cried the king with a loud voice, saying, Great art Lord God of Daniel, and there is none other beside thee.
|
|
42 As hayrn eh magh eh, as hilg eh adsyn va oyr e hoyrt-mow ayns yn ooig: as v'ad er nyn stroie ayns meekey kiongoyrt rish e eddin.
|
42 And he drew him out, and cast those that were the cause of his destruction into the den: and they were devoured in a moment before his face.
