Hi,

I am working on my masters thesis discussing the Irish vernacular mass, and there are some words and phrases I am having trouble translating from Irish to English. Can someone help me out?

Thanks so much!

Well, the list of words and phrases is pretty long, and if context is needed, please let me know. Thanks in advance to everyone for your help!

Móraimid
thógas
aonmhic
róard

(I think this text may be a poem but I'm not entirely sure)
Ag Críost an síol, ag Críost an fómhar, a n-iothalainn Dé go dtug-tar sinn
Ag Críost an mhuír, ag Críost an t-iasc, i lion-taibh Dé go gcas-tar sinn
Ó fhás go haois, is ó aois go bás, Do dhá láimh, a Chríost, a-nall thar-ainn
Ó bhás go críoch ach ath-fhás, i bParrthas na nGrást go rabh-aimid.

An Phreafáid
Tá siad tógtha 'nairde chun an Tiarna 'gainn.

Iargomaoineach

beatha na naomh

(This set is definitely a poem, Gile mo Chroí, and I believe it's 4 complete stanzas, but I don't know how long the poem is to start with, so here is the whole thing that I have.)

You're missing bits and pieces. I'm not at home, so I don't have my copy of the Ó Riada Mass (which is what this is) with me, but perhaps others will fill in the gaps.

Where you've got hyphens in some places actually indicate the text underlay for something that is sung...the words wouldn't actually be written that way if they weren't being set for singers. I'm taking them out, where I spot them.

Some of these I can't quite get out of context, without the Mass in front of me. Irish words change in certain grammatical circumstances...it's always best to show them in the context of a sentence, if you can.

I don't have a lot of time (I'm on vacation, and don't have my resources with me, and I'm leaving in a few minute for a baseball game), but I'll do what I can quickly below. Others can fill in the gaps.

An Salm: The Psalm

The below is Psalm 30, vs. 1-5

Maífead thú a Thiarna de bhri gur shaorais mé
'Snach dtugais dom eascáir dibh gairdeas a dhéanamh umam
A Thiarna mo Dhia thú screadas ort is do shlánais mé
A Thiarna do threorais m'anam amach as ifreann
Do shaorais mé ón druíng théas síos ins an uachais
Ceolaigí don Thiarna sibhse a naoimh Agus tabhraígí buíochas dá ainm naofa
Óir ní mhaireann a fhearg ach neomat na huaíre
Ach maireann a chaoinchineáltas ó aois go bás
Tig an gol um thráthnóna Agus an gáire ar maidin

Here is the KJV translation, which is the one with which I'm most familiar:

I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up,
and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.
O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me
O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave:
thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit
Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness
For his anger [endureth but] a moment; in his favour [is] life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy [cometh] in the morning


I'm sure you already know this, if you're researching the mass, but the Psalm will be different from day to day. To find out what the Psalm for any given day is, you'll want to check a lectionary


The one below is a hymn as well

A Íosa bháin id' láthair gheobhad ag caoi' do bháis san Ard chroís mhóir: O fair Jesus, I would go into your presence, bewailing your death on the great high cross
O aois go bás ag tál na ndeor 'Sag maiomh mo ghrá do slánaitheoir: From age to death shedding tears and asserting my love for my my savior
Ó a slánaitheoir: O, my savior

The song above has several verses, by the way. What you have there is just the first verse.

'ris: Probably a shortening of "arís": "again"
Is trid...7rl...saol na saol: ["Through...etc...forever and ever. This is shorthand for "Through him, and with him, and in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory is yours Almighty Father, forever and ever. Amen.

I'm not familiar with the one below, but others will correct me if I go astray with it

Gurab Tú mo bhoile a choimhdi cridhe Ní nídh neach eile ach Rí seacht nimhe: May you be in my [mouth?] to keep my heart pure. [I'm not sure about the second half of this line]
Gurab Tú mo mhachnamh de ló 'gus d'oíche : May you be in my thoughts day and night
Gurab Tú mo radharc i mo chodladh choíche; May you be in my watching and in my sleeping forever

Beannaigh sinn a Athair agus beannaigh sinn a Chríost: Bless us, O Father, and Bless us, O Christ
Go gcumhdaigh sibh ár n-anama. Go dtige sinn aris: May you keep our souls. May we [?] again.
Beannacht leat a thigh Dé Agus beannacht Dé 'nár dtimpeall: We bless the house of God and God's blessing surrounds us
Nár scara uainne grásta Dé go bhfillimid chun a theampaill: May we not be separated from God's grace before we return to his temple


Thank you!!!!

Just a quick correction: "Bí A Íosa" isn't the introit...that's "Is Beannaithe Teach Dé" (Blessed is the House of God). I can't remember when we usually do 'Bí A Íosa"...probably offeratory or communion.

I need to review, as we'll be singing this in just a few weeks!

Also, if you want to hear a lovely recording of "Íosa Bháin" (it actually has several verses), Mary Mc Laughlin recorded it on her "Sacred Days, Mythic Ways" CD: http://www.marymclaughlin.com/

Can someonen else tackle the rest of these for her, and check my translations? I'm still traveling, and will be pretty busy for a while when I get home.

I found this translation online, it looks ok to me.=

The light of my heart your heart, o Saviour,
and the treasure of my heart to find your heart in my presence
since it is clear that your heart filled with my love, o beloved,
in the hollow of my heart your heart leave in store.

About what you suffered through us, o bright high King of the powers,
my mind is unable to measure or to describe aright,
and it was through fierce poisonous pain of you heart and of your wounds, my beloved,
that thousands of the wise hurried in peace to their crown.

O Father and o Jesus made me alive by your death,
and who formed me without pausing in your likeness,
how callous the deed, o Christ, that I still have not loved
but every single thing that you find disgusting.

When I turn again by your prayer, o Flower of the Orders,
under the protection of Christ and make his grace to keep me
the harsh heathery hills that used to torment me on my way
will be like smooth silken plains and like meadows of satin.

I changed the word "shelter" as I think it is the variant of "déan" that's there.

Is beannacht leat, a Chríost
Go gcumhdaí sibh ár n-anama
Go dtagaimid arís

Beannacht leat, a thigh Dé
Is beannacht Dé inár dtimpeall
Nár scara uainne grásta Dé
Go bhfillimid chun a theampaill


I think it is a prayer said as one is leaving the church after Mass.
You are saying goodbye to God, Mary, and the church building, and hoping for grace until you go to heaven (Temple in heaven)

I'm not sure that katerin speaks Irish, so just in case:

A new bilingual mass book (Irish and English) is available for €10 from Veritas in Sráid na Mainistreach [not sure what this street's English name is], Dublin 1.

I hope, after all our work, that katerin comes back to check on all this.
