Amhrán Oilithreach. Le Dáiví.
ÉACH! NACH MAITH AGUS nach aoibhinn é
go mbeadh bráithre ina gcónaí le chéile!
|
A song of ascents of David.
Behold! how good it is and how pleasant,
where brethren dwell at one!

2. Mar uinnimint a doirteadh ar an gceann,
agus a shil ar an bhféasóg
a shil anuas ar fhéasóg Árón,
go himeall a fhallainge.

It is as when the precious ointment upon
the head runs over the beard,
the beard of Aaron,
till it runs down the collar of his robe.
|
3. Is cosúil le drúcht Hearmón é agus é ag titim
anuas ar Shliabh Shíón.
Is ann a thug an Tiarna beannacht,
agus beatha go brách.
|
It is a dew like that of Hermon,
which comes down upon the mountains of Zion;
For there the Lord has pronounced his blessing,
life forever.
