TADHG MAC DÁIRE MAC BRUAIDEADHA cct.

 Déanadh go subhach síol Ádhaimh! san oidhche a-réir rug ar siur mac ler beanadh dhínn ar ndoirche, leanabh cígh ó n-oighthe an t-iul. Tógbhaim-ne an la-so lá Nodlag, nuachlann Éabha ó mhór go mion, ar gcroidhe suas le méid meanma don ghéig go gcnuas neamhdha a-niogh. Oircheas daoibh déanamh go subhach; suairc an toradh tháinig dínn, leanbh aobhdha do fhóir ar ndoghruing ó óigh mhaordha mhongdhuinn mhín. Inneosad daoibh madh áil éisdeacht iomthús beirthe deighmhic Dé; ní coiscéim ná léim tar líne achd réim soisgéil fhíre é. Do bhí an uair-sin—is é a thosach— troimchíos Séasair ar sliochd fhíor dá dhíol ag gach aon don uile; ní saor do bhíodh duine dhíobh. D'íoc an chíosa i gcathair Dáibhí —diadha an turas—tháinig sí, Muire ógh is í re n-iodhnaibh; ógh do bhí gan iomdhaidh í. Fuair Io-seph ar súr na cathrach ar chionn oidhche dá hucht slim áit i dtigh éandaimh is asail don réadlain ghil fhasaidh fhinn. Beiris Muire ar meadhón oidhche d'éis a haisdir éanmhac Dé gé do bhí uathadh fan aim-sin uathadh ní nar fhaillsigh é. Tug an damh trá tug an t- asal aithne ar an rígh rugadh ann ó chuaird bhúidh thaidhligh an tighe ag ainglibh múir nimhe a-nall. Tug an talamh, tug an t-ai-éar aithne i n-éinfheachd ar Uan Dé; tearc, gé do bhí i n-adhbhaidh fhalaimh, ní ar talmhain nar adhair é. Do fhoillsigh an réalta ríoghdha do na ríoghaibh ón rann thoir an chéim-se fa céim saortha céim naomhtha a-noir. Lucht coimhéada cruidh na cathrach do-chíd-sean chuice i gcruth neoil an ainnear i n-uair a thuismhidh sluaigh aingeal go gcuislibh ceoil. Do bhí an néal-sain 'n-a néal sholuis —níor shoillse gné iná a ghné sin— oidhche neamhdhubh dhóibh go ndearna dealramh an tslóigh neamhdha ó nimh. Labhrais riu neach as an néal-sain dar nocht an sgéal nar sgéal rúin; ar chan a ghnúis neamhdha ó néallaibh cúis meanma do dhéanamh dhúinn. "Ná bíodh sgáth ná uamhan oraibh" ar an t-aingeal d'aitheasg chaoin "do-bhéar don labhradh dá leanaim sgéal bhus adhbhar deaghfhuinn daoibh. "Rugadh slánuightheoir sluaigh domhain dhaoibh a-niodh mar naoidhin mbig i gcathair Dái-bhíoth—dáil oircheas; láinshíoth cháigh don toircheas thig." An mac rugadh do ráidh sei-sean ós é Críosd ní cóir a chleith, fear feithmhe gach aoin don uile beirthe dhaoibh a bhuidhe a bhreith. Canuid na haingil an uair-sin aointiuin cheoil nach cuala cluas samhail a bhfuinn sin ná a slighe ag druing ó thigh nimhe a-nuas. "Glóir do Dhia is dá dhiongnaibh arda" do b'é labhra lucht an neoil "síodh do lucht daghthaile an domhain" lucht athlaimhe ar choraibh ceoil. Mar sin do fhoillsigh an t-aingeal ar uair a bheirthe breith Dé; teacht don bhláth neamhdha mar naoidhin fáth meanma gach aoinfhir é. Adhbhar meanman an mac ruig-se ó fhréimh Ádhaimh d'íoc ar gcion gein sin do chothuigh an chruinne gein shochair don uile fhior. Táirtheamar do thaobh an toirchis a-tá ó rug ní ré as sia gnáthaidh aga ghairm a ghuidhe bráthair mar ainm duine ar Dhia. Táirtheamar don toircheas chéadna, a chlann Ádhaimh—ard an cion— rí dín is fear dar bhfine 'n-a rígh ar teagh nimhe a-niodh. Táirtheamar do thaoibh an leinibh; i ló a bheirthei-sean—báidh linn; do leanbh mar é is obar chéillidh— cogadh Dé do réidhigh rinn. Táirtheamar fós—is fáth meanma— don mhac chéadna ar gcrann ós fhiodh; an dún ór fosdadh ar bhfine do hosgladh múr nimhe a-niodh. Táirtheamar de do dhruim toirbhirt; tugsad aingil—ard an bhríogh— ar bhfás d'fhiodh chumhra na cruinne umhla a-niodh do dhuine dhíonn. Táirtheamar de i ndiaidh ar seachráin, sliocht Éabha na n-ainchion dtrom; do mhún dá gach aon dá fhine an raon go múr nimhe a-nonn. Gá dú, ní fhéadfainn a n- áireamh iomad na dtoirbheart thug dúinn an mac do shás ógh an uair-se pór na ngrás do b'uaisle úir. Má do-chíthei-se, a chlann Ádhaimh, gurbh adhbhar meanma a maoidh mé lúdh i ngach éantoigh rer n-aoighidh déantair do rún aonfhir é. I ló a bheirthe bíom go faoilidh, féasda 'n-a ainm dealbhthar dhúinn, bíodh gabháil uainn ris gach n-aoighidh d'anáir dá ghruaidh fhaoilidh úir. Canam molta don mhac oirrdhearc éisdeam briathra beoil an ríogh; oircheas dúnn mun am-sa uile rún almsa ag gach duine dhíonn. Ní craos ní huabhar ní himirt ní huaill meanman mholaim libh; beanaidh an chéill 's fhearr as m'fhuighlibh más dream go méin suilbhir sibh. Caitheam san chruth-sa—cás molta— maith dhiombuan an domhain ché do shúil re hanáir nach athraigh d'fhagháil dúinn i ndaghthaigh Dé. Déanadh.
