DONNCHADH MÓR Ó DÁLAIGH cct?

 Éisd rem fhaoisidin, a Íosa; re n-áireamh is áibhseach liom mo pheacaidh i gcionn a chéile; deacair fa a gcionn réidhe riom. Ó aois leinibh ag lot m'anma níor anas fós—fada an ruaig; tug dot óidh, a Dhé, mo dhocracht gion gur cóir mé d'fhortacht uaid. Féach oram, a Athair ghrádhaigh; gabh m'fhaoisidin go mór mion; a mheic Dé, is deacrach mo leigheas; peacthach mé cheileas a chion. Na seacht bpeacaidh go n-a bpréamhaibh peacthach dhíom go ndearna siad —thríd nach fuighinn grás dod ghuidhe— cuirim i gcás uile iad. Na hocht gcoire mar an gcéadna, gé do char sinn saobh an bhreath; grádh an dá cheathrar im chridhe do bheanfadh clár nimhe ar neach. Na deich n-aithneadha is eadh bhrisim; briseadh saoire is sé mo mhian; gidh bé ní nach ní dom anam is é do-ní an chalann chriadh. Deachmhadh mh'eallaigh agus m'arbha gidh olc dhíolaim, a Dhé bhí, lugha an deachmhadh cnú don chrobhuing: do leanfadh tú oruinn í. Fuil do bhall agus do bhruinne ní bhíonn lá nach laoidheann sinn; a fhir do thuit agus théarnó, do luit sin gach éanló inn. Bím ag ithiomrádh m'fhir chumuinn, rem chomhursain ní caoin bhím; díol id dhiomdha gion go ndearnadh iomdha gníomh neamhghlan do-ním. Brisim aoine i n-aimsir throisgthe, tréigim trátha ar chomhól chornn; gidh beag mo lón lá na tagra mór a-tá re a agra orm. Ar mh'anmuin—is adhbhar tuirse— a-tá agaibh madh áil libh moladh bréige, a Dhé, re a dhíoghuilt, 's ní hé féige ar síoruilc sin. Cuid é dom fhaoisidin bheathadh béal cráibhtheach is croidhe díosg; budh aithreach liom lá na coinne a-tá i gcionn a chloinne ag Críosd. I ndóigh do thrócuire, a Thríonóid, do thocht oram—olc an chiall— níor sguireas, a Dhé, dom dhoighníomh, 's níor chuireas é i roibhríogh riamh. Níor iarras m'fhaoisidin oraibh d'éisdeacht uaim d'éis gach uilc, a ghein shochair na sé líne, gur mhothuigh mé críne an chuirp. Ciontuighim dhuit inn, a Íosa, agus don óigh ór fhás sibh, im chiontaibh, a chinn an bheatha; ná ciontaigh sinn seacha sin. Absolóid, a Athair neamhdha, is neamh re a cois chuinghim ort; do lámh ós mo chionn dá gcuire budh slán sionn ón uile olc. A-tá agam d'éis mo chionadh codladh fada, fachain guil —a-tá a shliocht mon-uar ar mh'anam— suan ar th'iocht, a chalann chuil. Tugas an choiscéim-se chugad; gidh cóir m'obadh ná hob sinn; cuimhnigh ar ngaol ó fhuil Ádhaimh; cuir do thaobh an álaidh inn. Cuimhnigh an comhaltas mbunaidh 's an mbráithreas damh, a Dhé bhí, ó shin dod réir gion go rabha, is sibh féin dar gcara i gclí. Tú féin do chum is do chruthuigh 's do cheannuigh mé—mairg nach tuig; ná diult mé gidh créad mo cheana, a Dhé, 's méad mo dheala dhuid. T'óglaoch dúthchasa ní dhlighe do dhiultadh, a rí na ríogh; re neamh a-dearam ar ndúthaigh ná bean m'fhearann ndúthaigh dhíom. Do neamh ar dtús táinig mei-se i measg bréag an bheatha ché; dlighim súil re naomhbhrugh nimhe, ní gaolmhar dhúinn slighe acht sé. Beir leat sinn sa slighe gcéadna i gcoinne cáich gidh cuin thís; dom anmain gomadh léim loighe céim san adhbhaidh roimhe a-rís. Anois aithnim an t-iul díreach —déanamh síth, a Dhé, bhus dleacht má rugas chéim tharsna thoruibh— 's nar léir damh-sa an chonair cheart. Do bhí mé—níor mhaith an creidheamh, cuid dom fhaoisidin 's eadh é— gus a-nocht ag cleith mo cheana; tocht id leith gur mheala mé. Máthair Íosa go n-a hóghaibh dom anacal ar fheirg nDé fearg re a bráthair ná bíodh uirre, máthair ríogh na cruinne cé. Míchéal aingeal go n-a ainglibh m'fhaoisidin go n-éisde siad, mac Dé go gcuire dar gcabhair; nár chuire mé im aghaidh iad. Sdeaphán mairtír go n-a mhuinntir maith do chaithfinn cur re a ndíol, níor dhligh mé a martra do dhearmad; dalta Dé go ndearnad díom. Go raibh liom do leigheas m'anma impidhe an dá easbal ndéag; dá dtoighinn is tráth dá nguidhe 's do-chluinim cách uile ag éag. Lá na breithe go mbeid liom-sa Lúcas Marcus Matha 's Eoin; uaim-se gémadh ór an almsa is uaisle a lógh dhamh-sa im dheoidh. Naoimh agus bannaomha an bheatha —bheith dá muinntir mór bhus fhiu— go dteagaid linn i lá bágha mar tá sinn dá rádha riu. Córaide dhamh dul id chumann —a chroch Íosa ainic mé— nach raibhe liom loise t'fheirge, a mhionn croise deirge Dé. Éisdidh re moladh mheic Alpruinn, éarlamh as oirrdhearca teisd ní fhéad cách tuireamh a theasda; ní chuireabh fáth ceasda i gceisd. Éisd.
