Mara gcasa tu le aithreachus ceart air Dhia na ngras,

Go mbeith t'anam shios anifrionn iochtarach ad' chradha le peinn.

III.
Air Dhia beigh áthas ma 'niosir lancheart gach gníomh dod' shaodhal,
'S gach slidhe dá ndearnuis a dhlidhe do bhearn' led' thoil gan chéil.
Ná ceil tre naire aon locht ce granúil dod' bhearta cle,
Is beith tu pairteach le Naoimh a n-airde tre bheannacht De.

IV.
Dia na nAingiolaibh tabhairfidh maitheamh duit ad' chionnta baois,
Ma bhidhir air aigne do chúl do chasa leo go brath aris;

V.
Bi 'sior-mhareanna air do bheatha 'nios, is sgeith a dtrath,

Go bhfaigha tu Parthas o Riogh na nAing'luibh faoi reim gan phian.

Faoi chesa'n namhuid thu, a bpeaca an mhuinlig tred' threithe lag.

II.
Ce lag t'acfuin-si chum fior-cheartachus do dheana 'gcoir,
Le Righ na nAing'luibh dofuair masla uait ad' shaodhal go mor,

Dein go carthanach is aoibhneas Pharthais dogheobhir go deo.

III.

Ad' ghlor bioch cial cheart le múinteachd beasa bainte ad' sgeimh,
'S gach maith da bhfiadfir le gradh do'n Tighearna, dein e led' shaodhal,
'S dod' namhuid mheillteach do chreach go deimhin tu, ná tabhair geill.

IV.
Le geill do Iosa, 's da dhlighe 'ta naoimtha tabhair sasamh coir,
A gclu gach aon neach dar rin tu raoba tre mhalis mhor,
'Sa gcuid ma thoguis dein diol go feorlin le glaineacht meoin,
No Righ na gloire ní thaibhairfe sodha dhuit astig 'na dhun
(=mansion).

V.
Dun na beannuidhtheachd, luachd na carthanachd 'se gheoibhir mar phádha,
Leorghníomh taithniomhach do reir t'acfuinne, ma ni'r le gradha,
Le Dia gan dearmad d'fhoidhne fada leat, ad' dhaol air fan,
'S tu go maslathach 'tabhairt gach scannail uait do'n saodhal iomlan.

VI.
Go h-iomlán bi ceart led' chomharsa air fad ad' ghniomh 'sad' mhein,
Is tabhair doibh le searc gach deigh-shampla maith da bhfiadfir fein,
Is na h-aitheanta beacht, coimead iad le gean do Righ na Naomh,
Is mar aithridheach glan bi go croidhe-bhrughach geal, faoi smacht go seimh.

Tabhair fa ndeara na h-aitheanta so go leir roinnteach.

Ar chreidis a nDia go glan,
Ar thugais go ceart do gean,
'Raibh do dhochus ann a mhaith
'Nuair do chuir do namhuid ort caith,
'Bhfuair tu eolus air gach staid.
Do bhain le n-a dhlidhe air fad;
Is ar leanuis I go beacht,
Gan tu bhrise tre n-a reacht?

II.
Ann roinnt dod' bheatha ar tharcuisne tu Dia glormhar,
Ná an Naoimh bheannuighthe 'ta 'bParthas go binn ceolmhar;
Ar pheaca tu an-aghaidh aitheanta tre anndochus,
Go bhfaghfadh maithfecus gan aithreachus fior-chontais?
Ar ghradhaig tu aon nidhe tar Dhia,

Le n-a bhas a' fulang pian;
'Bhfuair tu eolus air a Riaghail,

No ar sheunais I le bréag,

III.

'A rabhuis air mearathal gan aithne an nidhe ceadhna,
Ar chain tu an Eagluis go maslathach droch-mheineach,

Ná lucht creidimh fos go dibhfeirgeach droch-bheusach?
Ar chosg tu riamh o n-a leas,
Aon neach tre mhalis na cleas,
Ar thug tu geille go leasg,
Do chreidimh fallsa ná seasg,
Do lucht piseoga gan raith,
No lucht athruidhe go leamh,
'Ta fe mhalachtuidhe o Neamh?

IV.

Le geille thabhairt do lucht feasa no cleas saobhadh,
Ar thug tu aithis fos riamh do thoil Dhia led' bhreithar,
A dtaobh aindeise is pian bheith a ndiagh do shaothair.
Do thaibhreadh a' dtugais geill
Go dtiocfidh nuadh as san sgeal,
'Rin tu neamhshuim riamh ad' Rédh,

'Raibh tu meata, lag ná claon,
Aig seunadh do chreidimh fein,
No ar mhuin tu nos ná beas

An Dara Aithne
Na Tabhair Ainim De gan Adhbhar.

I.
Sin saothar taitniomhach ainim Dé do ghradha a gceart,
Is baochus beannuighthe do thabhairt do ad' lan-neart;
Feuch-si is mareanuig ar chleachtais le naomhthacht ghlan,
E adhra 's do mholla, folas do gach aon sort clan?
Machtnuig aris 'nios tamal,

Ar dhearbhuidhis riamh le sgannail,

No ainim Iosa gan mhairg,
No aon do na tri phearsa,
Ar thugais do aon mhasla,

Aig tabhairt do'n Aon Mhac athais?

II.

Le clan na mallathachd ar mhasla tu Mathair De,
Aig spalpa 'h-ainim go sgannalach le cach a' plé;

Ar thug tu Parthas go neamheaglach gan ghradha gan tseun,
Do thoill damuint duit go sgalluideach dod' chradha le pein?

Ar thug tu riamh moide leabhair,
Le paisiun no as do mheabhair,
No ar bhris tu tre aon cheann,
Dobhi ceart do reir dlidhe mionn;
Ar bhris tu ad' shaodhal aon amm,
Do ghealuint do Dhia go cam,
No ar bhris tu fos le feall,
An breathar dothug tu a ngeal?

III.
Le pein na h-andeise, na aon chuis eile gan chiall,
Ar thug tu aon mhoidhe 'bhfearg an t'anam suas do'n Diabhal;
Le firine ar chleachtais bheith 'spalpa na mionn dian,
Na le breaga scannail' aig tuilleamh duit lan-chuid pian?

Ar rin tu riamh easgaine,
Air bheathaigheach na air dhuine,
Ar chleachtais aon sort chuige,
Tre mhire na tre laige;
No ar eisd tu le mionna,
Da spalpa as do choinne,
Gan cosg do chur go h-uile,
Res an te bhi ar buile?

IV.
Pian thar phianta bheig ad chiapa is go brath ad' dhoigh,

Gan mion-sgrúda dheanadh 'nduthracht air do mhoide mor,
Is gach easgaine rin do theanga-sa chur 'na gcomhar.
Ar bhrosduighis aon neach ad' shaodhal,
Chum deimhin do dheanadh air sgeul,
Aon sort miona thabhairt go saor,

Na le maga suilt gan cheil
'Mbioch easgaine ann do bheul,
Mionna mor na beg air pledh,
Re firine na re cledh?

Ar chaill tu Aifrion tre'd spaidaireacht is geill go lag
Do'n Diabhal malluighthe rin treasguirt ort, is faon tu leag?
Ar choimead tu le onoir

Ar chaith tu é le deigh-mheon,

'Gad chlann go leir aosta's og,
'S gach n-aon eile bhi ad' chomhar,

Leaga chreachan go fann-lag t'anam a larr do chliabh,
Gach uair le dochar bhi tu 'gobair go saothrach dian,
Le Saoire sosa, do thoill tu losga geur faoi phian.

Cuardaigh 'nios tu fein go ceart,
Ta-bhair contas ann gach beart,
A' ndearnais obair gan chead,
Dobhí saodhalta an aon staid:
Ca mheid uair bhris tu an t-achd,
Is faid na redh bhis 'na chleachd,
'Sa' sgannail fos tríd sin lean,
Os comhair chach don uile chlan?

III.
Pian sior ithfrinn do thillis-se ameasg Diabhail ad' chradha,
'Stu go damanta shios ceanguilte go dian mar bhragha,

An lá beannuighthe sin do eiseirigh Iosa o bhas.
Cuardaigh fos tu fein le firine,
Mar pheacuidhis gach la saoire,
'Maslugha De 'gcraos 'sa ndiomas,
'San la naomhtha fed' dhímheas;
'Sgach nidhe riamh rin tu micheart,
'Nagha'n lae seo, le mead díth-bheart
'Ta'd choinne 'nios aig Iosa,
O'd toige go ceann t'aoise.

IV.
Bas gan beatha do thoill t'anam is é bheith a bpein,
Gach uair rinis an tsaoire bhrise, 'sgan náire ort fein.
'Nios ma chasair air Righ na nAingil le aithridhe gheur,
Do choinsias ceartaig le fior-mhachtnamh, tred' locht go leir.
Le sult saodhalta na le greann,
Le leisgeamhlacht is neamh-fhonn,
Le culchaint throm chlaoin is chamm,
Le gairsgeamhlacht bhreun gach amm,
Le h-easguine od' bheul mionn
Na fos le craos óil air leann,
Ma bhris tu an tsaoire ad' dhall,
Dorin tu air t'anam feall.

Cuid do mhuintir le mi-rath,
Ar imir tu cam air neach,
Na é mhealla chum é chreach,
Ar cheannaidh tu o'n te shlad,
No dofuair é air dhroch staid?

IV.
Bioch cas ort choidhche is do chroidhe 'stigh mor-lan le brón,
Ma chuiris dúil riamh, ad' chaoin-chial, a guid chach led' dheoin,
Aois sgrudaig led' uile dhuthracht tu féin go coir,
Is ma bhis sanntach, go ro-chionntach dein caoidh go leor.
Cad é ann ar churis dúil,
Is 'nar chuiris nimh do shúil,
'Snar mhein leat a bhreith gan rún
Chum t'áirais fein le droch-mheon?
Gach am thugais toil ar dtuis
Chum an ghnimh do chuir a gcuis,
Air shon nár ghoid tu an lón,
Dorin tu air t'anam leon.

An tOchtmhadh Aithne
Na dein Fiadhnaise Breige a n-aghadh do Chomharsa

I.
Go leor malluidhthachd 'ta san bpeaca so, siol an Diabhail
Morán cama-chlis, sliocht a ghangaide tre n-a riaghail,
Dein-si mareana 'nios gan mhearathal 'glaodhach go dian,
Dlidhe na h-aithne go fior ad taigne ce treith thu 'bpian.
A' rin tu riamh bréag le neach,
Na miona eithig camm slach,
A' rinis do gach n-aon ceart,

Le firine is deidh-bheart,
Le fiadnaise go ro-ghlan.
Le mor-ghradh dho is le gean,
Sgrudaig thu fein go ro-mhaith,
Is feach ar cloidhag tu an aon chaith?

II.
Pian an anama 'sé is measa dhuit 'gcuis ba bhreag
Ma dheinir dearmad do chomhad gach aithne go la t'eug,
beigh tu'd sgalla shios 'dteinnte damanta 'measg na ndaol,
Gan mor-aithreachus, 'dtaobh an pheaca so, feadh do shaodhail.
Ar chuir tu breag a leith chach,
Go maliseach trom neamh-ghradhach,
Ar bhris tu go claon a chail,
Gan an cheidiomhuin cheadna d'fhaghail;
Air a lochtaidhe 'ndearnais tracht,
'Deanadh uilc do nidh gan tadhbhacht,
Ar eisdis le aon gan ghradha
Le 'na shamhuil do sgeul da radha?

III.
Ad' shaodhal ar chainis go trom neamhghradhmhar neach fos riamh
An gor gur shadhis se do lann-sa bearrtheach 'steach na chliamh,
Ar thug tu lan-bhreith go daor-dhubh dána cruaig gan chial,
Ar ghniomh do chomharsa 'sgan fios na cuise 'gad fa riaghail?
Ar labhair tu trom air aon,
Ar maith leat é bheith fa pehin,
Gan mheas gan chlu ná gan reim
Faoi thriobloid agus chruadhcheim.
Ar phleasúr leat do dhroch-shaodhal,
Is anam a bheith a measg daodhail,
No a chridiomhuint bheith fa leun,
Aig tuitim fa dhith misheun?

IV.
Riaghal na carthanachd labhairt go taithniomhach 'gcuis gach n-aon,
'Sgan aon tarcuisne thabhairt go maslathach uait chum leun.
Bioch ort aithreachus 'dtaobh do mhaluighthachd 'mbearrna an bhaodhail,
'Brise atheanta Righ na nAingiolaibh riamh ad' shaodhail.
A' rin tu cach 'mhaga,
A Chlu na 'mheas do leaga,
'Deanadh greann de tre aithis.
Os a chomhair fein no gan fhios;
A' rin tu air cúl-gheara,
Buaint an chail de dob-fheara.
Ar eisdis le aon phearsa,
'Cuir an chain air ba mheasa?

SE AITHEANTA NA hEAGUILSE

I.
N.B.
An chead aithne diobh so mar an trimhudh Aithne do Atheanta De.

II.
Barr crádhnais diadha do reir riaghlacha theampol De,
Ar ghnathuidhis riamh sa Charghios riadhalta, gach bliadhain red' rae,
'Sgach vigil Saoire re h-iomad diograis gradha deidh-mhein,
'Rin tu iodhbird dod' throsga naoimhtha tre ghrasa'n tsein?

Ar choimead tu go ro-cheart
Gach Carghios do reir do neart,
'Sgach am eile mar do lean;
'Rin tu trosga go ro-ghlan
Is tregheanus fos go ro-bheacht
Mar orduigheas dlidhe na naomhacht,
Ar ith tu feoil gan aon chead,
Aon la faoi chosg le fad?

III.
Chum Seun na vfhalathas bheith air t'anam 'ngradh le Dia,
A' rin tu cleachta gach bliadhain dod' bheatha, 'nfhaid is siadh,
Do pheacaidhe 'ghlana le aithridhe chneasta o gach ciach,
Dobhi ad' threasguirt is tu mar scraiste (=sluggard) baidhte 'vfiach?

Mar spaidire mor gan chial,
Ar ghlac tu comhairle an diabhail,
Gan foisidin uair sa mbliadhain,
Do dheana le doilghios dian;
Bhí malacht mar chain d' dhiadh
Ma bhi tu gan ghreann air Dia,
Is tu 'bhrise tre n-a Riaghail,
Go h-ithfrionn doimhin sios aig trial?

IV.
Fiacha an anama 'se's measa dhuit 'nios gan diol,
Smuain ad' mhareana a' rin tu dearmad riamh ad' shaoidhal,

Naomh-chorp beannuighthe Iosa charthanach, ghradhmhar chaoin,
Ghlaca taithniomhach am Chaisg cean-a-mhuil chum tu 'dhion

A' ndearnais aon Chaisg faillidhe;
Air chomaoin Chriosd do thathuidhe;
Ad' pharraisde fein achtuigheas,
An teampol riamh mar ghnathuigheas,
Ma rin tu so le calaois
Le neamhshuim fos no malis
Trom-mhalacht De le ceartuigheacht
Do thoill tu fein led' bheartuighneacht?

V.
Chum dion do'n Eagluis naomhtha Chatilice 'gcursa saodhail
'Se ordugha 'naithne riamh gan mearathal dlidhe, na ceill,
Comhna beathuighthe thabhairt go fearamhuil doibh go h-eug,
'Nait ar bainag diobh 'ta 'ge Feallachoin fos gan bhreag.

O'n gCleir ma choimead tu 'gceart,
Aon Fheile riamh d'imig thart,
Gan diol leo do reir an Acht
Do pheacuidhis 'naghadh De 'sa Rachd,
Do robail tu iad as rath,
Ma dhiultuighis ortha aon mhaith
'Stu fa dhualgas mar gach neach,
Comhna leo tred' shaodhal amach.

VI.
Gan bhreag gan amhras, is olc an sampla clann cheart De,
Beith 'deanadh Postaidhe an Charghis, bronach deirim é.
An Advent Iosa, is olc aris é 'measg na nGaodhail,
'Ta peaca's mi-rath 'na dhiagh is dioghaltas, cain is baodhal.

'Ta cosg eile fos 'san dlidhe
Gan ceangal posa 'n-aon tslidhe,
Le gaodhal fola air aon taoibh,
Toirmiosguidhthe le ceartSuidheamh,
Ná gan fhios, gan chead coir fior
Mar orduigheas an Eaglais sior;
Ma rin tu 'leitheid ad' shaoidhal
Dein le aithridhe ann sort diol.

AIR NA SEACHT bPEACAIDHE MARBHTHACH

I.
Is baodhal liom do'n Saodhal, go bhfuil Eclipse no sgamol ceo,
Air a bhfeicim mar a gheillid do gach baois go deo,
'Sdo pheaca'n Diomais tharaing dioghaltas go daor 'na gcoir,
Is malacht Iosa air na milte fe phein go mor.

'Rabhais cionntach a bpeaca'n Uaibhair,
Cred é an chuis, ca mhead uair,
Le meas, poimp, ná le linn buadh,
'Rin tu do mhaith fein do luadh,
Raibh do ghradh ort fein anmhor,
No ar chain tu cach, monuar!
Ar eisdis go samh ad' chluais.
Le mola do chail fein suas?

II.
Mar an deithmhadh Aithne do Athanta De, a seadh ata an tsaint.

III.
Mar an semhadh Aithne, an druis.

IV.
Is mor an mhalathachd riamh le n-aithris Craos le h-ol,
Chim go dtagan as, morchuid cama-chlis, 'sbreun-ghuith beoil,
Smuain-si'd mhareana 'rabhuis sa pheaca so daor gan gho,
'Sca mhead fealla-bheart ghaibh le n-aice sin, sgleip is gleo.

A' rabhuis air meisge ad' shaodhal,
Air dith meabhra as do cheill,
Ar ithis no'r oluis éachd,
Chuir air t'anam go doimhin creachd
Ar bhris tu trosga aon lae,
Orduighthe ann Teampol De,
'Raibh tu caiteach mor ad' chraos,
Le costas bighe na dighe t'reis?

V.
Mar an cuigmhadh Aithe, an fhearg.

VI.
Gleo mearafhail is fuaith gan charthanachd 'gcroidhe gach n-aon
Bion, go loisgitheach le linn aon fhormuid 'bhios 'na meinn,
Mar ba thaithniomh leat mead a n-anacra's luighead a reim,
Bhi tu calcaighthe, cruaig sa pheaca so, tre gach ceim,

Ar mhaith leat mead neach bheith go fann
Is e bheith 'na chuid go gann,
Na droch-mheas do fhaighail aon amm,
Gibe direach, fior no camm,
Ar ghoill se ort é bheith teann,
Iona shliocht, 'na sheun, 'na ghreann,
No 'na chlu, 'na chail, 'na fheabhas,
Na 'cur a dhroch-thásg a' rabhuis.

VII.
Tre cheim gach peaca a seadh thagan neamh-shuim a nDia,
'Stre mhead na leisge sin deire le gach aon mhaith liagh (= physician),
Ma bhis ad' bheatha mar spaidire lag baoth gan chial,
Toig suas 'nois t'aigne, tabh'r t'anam leat saor ó'n Diabhal.

Ar leig tu dhiot seirbhis De,
Le neamhfhonn aon am dod' rae,
'Ndearnais faillidhe ann do shaodhal,
A ndlighe Chriosd, a mbrigh 'sa gceill.
Do chur a gcrich, caoin, ceart, seimh,
'Nobair Iosa, Righ na Naomh;
Tre gach leisge bhi ort féin,
'Gcuis do leasa thoill tu pein.

N.B.
Is eigin duit tu fein do sgruda a dtaobh gach ocaid peaca dothugais uait
riamh do dhaoine eile, is a lorg diot feins ca mhead duine bhi 'lathir le linn

cad é an sort peaca e, agus an fhaid ó rin tu gach peaca diobh.

COMHAIRLE CHARTHANACH DO'N bPEACACH

I.
Tar eis gach nidhe do dheana ceart,
Is cúl chur le gach droch-bheart
Tabh'r anios t'aghadh air Righe na ngrás
Do eist leat riamh da fhaid e'n spas.

II.
Seachuin an peaca 'ris ad' shaodhal,
Bain as do bheatha feasda ceill,
Cad é fuair tu riamh d'a shult fos,
Acht buairt aigne is pian choguas.

III.
Seachuin meisge na craos air leann,
No beidh t'anam aris go fann,
'Sair thigh an osda bioch do ghrain,
Is ann deantar an t-olc iomlan.

IV.
Seachuin gach Pairtidhe 'bhi gan chial,
'Gimtheacht leat a n-ainim an Diabhail,
Ma dheinir suas leo 'ris go bráth,
Tuitfidh anuas ort breis miaghadh.

V.
Seachuin an dream bhion gan náire,

Do ghnathuidheas mionn go cam 'na mbeil,
Chum slacht is brighe do chur 'na sgeil.

VI.
Seachuin fos an dream barbartha
Bhion mar ghreann aig labh'rt glagartha,

'Smalachd Chriosd go fior daingion docht.

VII.
Seachuin beithibh og gan múnadh,
No o'n Sp. Naomhtha ni bhfaighir comhna,
Ma fhaighir taithniomh bheith 'na bhfochuir,
Sin tu caillte fa gach dochar.

VIII.
'Sgach Speirbhean dheas na bion banumhail,
Na feuch uirthe le nimh do shuil,
Tugan an diabhal sarr-chomhna le,
Chum sin do dheighilt ó ghrasa De.

IX.
Seachuin an dream bhion 'cúlgheara,
'Baint a gcail do chach, da mbeara,
Bion nimh a gcroidhe mar shaoid 'na mbéil,
Aig deanadh feill le deimh'n a sgeil.

X.
Seachun an dream bhion gan laga,

Is olc é 'nglor mar short comhrádha,
Tagan 'na dheoig go leor mí-adha.

XI.
Seachuin aon ghreann bheich peacamhlach,
Na fos aon tslidhe mhi-bhanumhlach,
Bion lionta'n Diabhail sgartha choidhche,
Chum sinn threasguirt 'gcaith na h-oidhche.

XII.
Seachuin gach guag mar fheillicán,
Eadrom suarach mar mhor-mhudan,
Ni tu dob fhearr leo ná do short,
Ach duine rabach lan do sport.

XIII.
Bi diaga ceart le gradha do Dhia,
Bi riaghalta glan ad' shaodhal nios siadh,
Bioch do bheatha gan locht gan bheim,
Is gheobh'r Iosa taoibh leis reim.

XIV.
Chum comhna De do bheith do ghnath,
Ad' stiurugha ceart ad' leas go brath,
Glac go minic air staid na ngrás
Corp geal Iosa gan moran spas.

XV.
Bi go dúbhach gach aimsir Aifrinn,
'Dtaobh do pheacuidhe thoill duit Ithfrionn,
Smuain gurbe Iosa tre 'na Pháis,
Shaor aris tu ó shaoid an bháis.

XVI.
Tabh'r chum contais 'ndeire gach lae,
Ar pheacuidhis an la san 'naghadh De,
Ma fhaighir locht a gcoine na dlidhe,
Dein 'na thaobh san gol agus caoidhe.

XVII.
Lean an riaghail seo do lean gach Naomh,
Lean go críoch i go caoin glan seimh,
Is beanacht De ghil 'gheobhair go fior,
Air feadh do shaodhail 'sair Neamh go sior.
