Marthain duit, a chroch an Choimdheadh

DONNCHADH MÓR Ó DÁLAIGH cct (?)

 Marthain duit, a chroch an Choimdheadh, a chroinn diadha an duille bhuig, ar an bhfád-sa is dóigh ar ndeaghail, pácsa is cóir 'n-a dheaghaidh dhuid. A chroch Dé, do dhlighis cádhas ó chloinn Ádhaimh athair cáich; is mor mac gcionntach ro ceannghadh lat, a fhiortach bheannghlan bhláith. Peacaidh na cruinne do cheannchais a chroch ghrádhach—gasda an ruaig; tugais cobhair, a chroinn ghrádhaigh, do chloinn cholaigh Ádhaimh uaid. Inneosad duit diamhair nimhe, ní dá sgéalaibh, sgéal go nós; do-chluinfe Rí gealchas gréine ní dá sheanchas féine fós. Do-rinne cathraigh n-aird n-aoibhinn Athair na slógh, Saor na gclann, 'n-a léibheann úr ghlan gan ghairbhe gur ghabh tnúdh na haingle ann. Do hionnarbadh tre n-a n-uabhar aingil nimhe—nár an chuairt; ar gcur as na n-aingeal gcruthach fa hainneamh glas suthach suairc. Tar éis ionnarbtha na n-aingeal nír bh'iongnadh dhóibh dáil a bhfras ar gcur a gcúl re clár nimhe, lán a súl dá ibhe as. Do dhealbh Dia Éabha agus Ádhamh d'iarraidh daoine—dáil gan chruas— dá síoladh agus dá snoighe do líonadh an toighe thuas. Do sháruigh Éabha go huaibhreach Athair na ndúl—doiligh linn— a síodh do luit as a luighe gur thuit a síol uile inn. Do cuireadh Éabha d'fhód Pharrthais na bport ngéagach—glan a lí; turas na slat—suairc an t-innreamh— fa cuairt mac is inghean í. Marbhais Cái-in mear mac Ádhaimh Aibéal déirceach—díocra an mhóid— do leacain leabhair chruaidh chámhuill an sduaigh reabhaigh n-áluinn n-óig. Beirthear Seath—fa suairc an toircheas— troigh mar eala, ucht mar bhláth; ní fríoth gein mar é 'n-a aghaidh is é sein do chabhair cách. Gluaisis ainn-séin d'iarraidh Parrthais —prap an toisg nachar thoisg chlé— sa bhfearann mhín chraobhach chrosach i dtír bhraonach dhosach Dhé. Do-chonnairc uadh aonchrann lomáin ar lár Parrthais—prap an chuairt; is luath do ghabh crotbhall críne an bogcrann glan sídhe suairc. Ad-chonnairc aonmhacaomh áluinn ar fhud an chroinn soir is siar gur líon do chnuas an crann lomáin a-nuas fa bharr bhfolláin bhfiar. Lingis trí gráinne a géig abhla i n-ucht Seith rer seachnadh móid beagán cnuasaigh maith re a mhaoidhimh don fhlaith uasail fhaoilidh óig. Gluaisis roimhe sa ród chéadna i gcríoch Parrthais na bport ngrinn fuair go suairc na gráinne gheala áille 'n-a chuairt d'Eabha fhinn. Innisis d'Ádhamh, dá athair, inneall Pharrthais phuirt na ród; "do-chonnarc aonchrann san fhiodhbhaidh" ar an tsaorchlann ionmhuin óg. "Do-chonnairc mei-se" ar mac Ádhaimh "aonmhacaomh—is nír thaom tláith— go ndearna aontaradh uile don mhaoltamhan bhuidhe bhláith." "Sinne féin do chríon an crann-sain" comhrádh Ádhaimh "'s nír é a uair; is é an bioth an crann, a chara, gan ioth ann 's gan ana uainn. "Mac Ríogh nimhe an naoidhe áluinn do fhóir sinn—ní seachmhaidh dhamh— gur chrann úr an t-athchrann éadtrom fa chúl sgathcham ghéagdhonn ghlan." Tig an t-éag go hÁdhamh ainn-séin d'aithle a thurais—truagh an chuairt; do ba bhéad go mbleidhe ndeaghóir, sgeile a éag, fa seanóir suairc. Eirghis Seath—fa suairc an giolla, giolla óg nar adhair ceilg— agus cloidhis uaigh dá athair an sduaigh roidheis ndathaigh ndeirg. A thrí ghráinne gabhais chuige —cabhair cháigh a-nois do-niad; i mbéal Ádhaimh seach gach ionadh do cháraigh go h-iodhan iad. Fásais trí géaga as na gráinnibh —fa gort buadha ar bheagán síl; oirrdhearc fós fan gcruinne gcrosaigh nós gach bhuinne dhosaigh dhíbh. Tu-sa an treas crann do na crannaibh, a chroch Dé fa ndlighmid múith; do bás 'gud thairngire ó thosach id ghlainbhile dhosach dhlúith. Beirthear ainn-séin Muire máthair, máthair Chríosd do chosain bladh, a folt drongach mar ór n-íorna, torrach an ógh ghríobhdha ghlan. Beiris Muire an macaomh oirrdhearc, Íosa Críosd an chraobh fa bhláth, Athair na slógh—fa séan buadha; an sgéal mór do-chuala cách. Tugadh chugad-sa dá chrochadh tar ceann daoine Dia dá íoc; an tí do cinneadh dar gcabhair do milleadh Rí an domhain díot. Tugadh chugad, a chroch ionmhuin, abhra gléadhubh ós ghruaidh mbrioc; do bhí, a chaomhchros chaomh mo chridhe, maothbhos shaor dá righe riot. Do shín riot a righeach n-áluinn Íosa Críosd—fa caomhthach lonn; do sgaoil ort, a bheannach bhuadhach, a fholt gleannach dualach donn. Ionmhuin cách do crochadh ionad, ionmhuin anam, ionmhuin corp, mo Rí, mo chridhe, mo chara do bhí ag snighe a fhala ort. Gion gur fhás caor ort nó áirne nó ubhall cumhra nó cnú, do shíol, clann deaghbhan an domhain, dearbhadh as crann toraidh thú. Tú fuair Maoise—mór an conác— tre chionn Ádhaimh—aobhdha an folt— do bhun thall fa úir na huaighe do bharr 'n-a chlúimh uaine ort. Tu-sa fuair Dá-bhíoth san díothramh i ndiaidh Maoise—meadhair dheis— maith a chuairt d'fhaigsin an fhásaigh aisgidh shuairc an lá-sain leis. Tu-sa an céadchrann do chuir Solamh suas 'n-a theampall—toisg nar íoc; leis do beanadh thall ar dtosach do bharr leabhar dosach dhíot. Is tú ar ndídean, is tú ar dtearmann, is tú ar leigheas i ló an bhráith, is tú an crann far chuir an Coimdhe fuil a bhall do choimhdhe cáich. Is tú ar sgiath 's ar gcloidheamh cumhdaigh, a chroch Dé far dhoirt a chrú; nocha chluinim fhuaim na habhann uair nach cuirim tharam thú. Tú linn táthuighthe na talmhan; is tú an caisléan ós chionn díog; is tú an lomán lán do thoradh; slán follán an domhan díod. Fillfead chugad, a chroch ghrádhach, an glún deas le ndearnas olc; léigim fúm é agus ní fhuláir an glún clé dom fhuráil ort. Is asad do-chuaidh an Coimdhe ar chreich Ifrinn—eachtra shoirbh; is tú thug an gcabhair gcalma i n-aghaidh na habhla oirn. Fa lór bláithe do bheann gcumhdaigh gidh croch dhubh thú a-niodh 's a-né fa croch chorcra thú dar dtearmann ó chrú ochta is dearnann Dé. Doiligh leam gan an leith eile d'fagháil chugad, a chroch naomh, go mbeith sunn comhfhad an Choimdheadh don chrunn robhog choirrgheal chaomh. Ní fhaca i bpurt do na portaibh puball mar do phuball snáith; ní fhaca teagh mar do theampall a dhathta geal beannchorr bláith. Tu-sa is Muire máthair Íosa do fhóir inn-ne is níor bh'olc fáth; bhar gcneas caomh níor chin a shamhail sibh ar-aon do chabhair cách. Peacach sonn ag sléachtain chugad, ní cóir m'obadh gidh olc mé; toirn agus geibh phóig ón pheacthach, ceil do mhóid, a dheaghcroch Dé. Seath mac Ádhaimh fuair thú ar tosach thall i bParrthas na bport naomh; fa lór t'áille is eadh do-chuala id ghráinne gheal chuanna chaomh. Fada do las ar lár m'anman inneall t'aighthe as ionmhuin linn; mar thig eatal do ghual gréine snuadh do leacan réidhe rinn. Slánuigh an bioth, a bhean chumainn, comhaill damh-sa duais mo rann; mar thugais d'fhearaibh na heatha rugais d'fheadhaibh beatha barr. Marthain.
