 a séú mí, cuireadh an t-aingeal Gaibriéil ó Dhia go dtí cathair sa Ghailíl darbh ainm
Nazarat
|
26. In the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of
Galilee named Nazareth,
|
|
27. chun maighdine a bhí luaite le fear de theaghlach Dháiví darbh ainm Iósaef,
agus b’é ab ainm don mhaighdean, Muire.
|
27. to a virgin bethrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house of David.
and the virgin's name was Mary. |
|
28. Agus ar a theacht isteach chuici dúirt: Sé do
bheatha, atá lán de ghrásta, tá an Tiarna leat; is beannaithe tú idir mná.
|
28. Upon arriving, the angel said to her: "Hail, full of grace!
The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women."
|
|
29. Ach bhí buaireamh uirthi de chionn na cainte, agus bhí sí ag
machnamh cén sort beannachadh é seo.
|
29. She was deeply troubled by his words, and wondered what his greeting
meant.
|
|
30. Ach dúirt an t-aingeal léi: "Ná bíodh eagla ort, a Mhuire, óir
fuair tú gean ó Dhia.
|
30. The angel went on to say to her: "Do not fear, Mary. You have found favor with God.
|
|
31. Agus féach, gabhfaidh tú gin agus béarfaidh tú mac agus tabharfaidh
tú Íosa mar ainm air.
|
31. You shall conceive and bear a son and give him the name Jesus.
|
|
32. Beidh sé mór, agus glaofar Mac an Té is airde air, agus tabharfaidh an Tiarna Dia
dó ríchathaoir Dháiví a athair,
|
32. Great will be his dignity and he will be called son of the Most High
The Lord God will give him the throne of David, his father,
|
|
33. agus beidh sé ina Rí ar theaghlach Iacóib go brách, agus
ní bheidh deireadh lena ríocht."
|
33. and he will rule over the house of Jacob forever and his reign
will be without end."
|
|
34. Dúirt Muire leis an aingeal: "Conas a bheidh seo
amhlaidh, agus gan cuid agam d’fhear chéile?"
|
34. Mary said to the angel, "How can this be since I do not know man?"
|
|
35. Agus dúirt an t-aingeal á freagairt:
"Tuirlingeoidh an Spiorad Naomh ort, agus beidh cumhacht an té is airde
ina scáil anuas ort, agus sin é an fáth a mbeidh an leanbh naofa;
glaofar Mac Dé air."
|
35. The angel answered her: "The Holy Spirit will come upon you
and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; hence, the
holy offspring to be born will be called Son of God."
