What THEE, THY, THOU and YE mean in English?
I read them in the Bible but I can't translate. Thank you.

Thee, thy, thou and ye have all been replaced by the words "you" and "your" in modern English.
In Middle English, the word "you" had an informal and a formal form, with different cases.
Thou, thy, thee were the informal forms, just like "Tu" in Spanish. Thou is the nominative case, used for the subject of a sentence. Thy is the genitive, which means "your." Thee is the accusative, which is used as the object of a verb or preposition.
Ye was the formal (and plural) form of "you." This is like saying "Usted/Vous/Voce" instead of "Tu."

I'll show how the pattern works against the other pronouns. I think you can work it out from there.
I... me... my
We...us...our
Thou... thee... thy (second person singular; now no longer used)
You... ye (second person plural; now we use "you" for both plural and singular, and we don't use "ye" anymore)
