Jèrriais Scripture snippets to mark the anniversary of the English translation of the Bible known as the King James or Authorised Version:
Jésû étant né à Bethléem, ville dé Judée, dans l'temps qué Hérode était l'rouai, des mages dé l'Êst vîndrent à Jérusalem, et dîdrent: Où'est tch'est lé Rouai des Juis tchi veint d'naître? car j'avons veu s'n êtaile dans l'Êst, et j'sommes vénus l'adouother. Lé rouai Hérode ayant ouï ch'la, il en fut troublié, et tout Jérusalem auve li. Et ayant assemblié touos les prîncipaux prêtres et l's hommes dé louai, i' lus d'mandit où'est qu' lé Christ dévait naître. Et i' lî dîdrent: Ch'est à Bethléem, ville dé Judée: car ch'est d'même qué l'a êcrit un prophète: Et té, Bethléem, tèrre dé Judée, tu n'es pon la maindre entre les prîncipales villes dé Judée, car ch'est dé té qué geuthitha l'Gouvèrneux tchi souongn'na d'Israël, man peupl'ye. Pis Hérode, ayant appelé en ségret les mages, lus d'mandit d'li dithe exactément quand est-che tch'il' avaient veu l'êtaile: et l's env'yant à Bethléem, i' lus dit: Allez, et dêcouvrez tout ch' qu'ou pouvez entouor chu p'tit êfant, et quand ou l'éthez trouvé, faites-mé saver, à seule fîn qué j'y'âge étout, pouor l'adouother. Ieux, don, ayant ouï l'rouai, i' s'en allîdrent ; et né v'chîn qu' l'êtaile tch'il' avaient veu dans l'Êst allait l'avant à ieux, jusqu'à ch' qu'ou vînsse s'arrêter drait en d'ssus du lieu où'est tch'était lé p'tchiot. Et quand i' vidrent l'êtaile s'arrêter, il' eûdrent eune hardi grand' jouaie. Et étant entrés dans la maîson, i' trouvîdrent lé p'tchiot, auve Mathie sa m'mèe, et i' l'adouothîdrent en s'prostèrnant: et auprès aver dêpatchi lus trésors, i' lî présentîdrent des dons, dé l'or, dé l'enchens et d'la myrrhe. (Matchi, 2: 1-11)
Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet, And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel. Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared. And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also. When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
