For this week’s Seachtain na Gaeilge, we’ve been uploading prayers in Irish for people to learn.
Today’s prayer is the Magnificat.
AN MAGNIFICAT
Mórann m’anam an Tiarna, agus rinne mo spiorad gairdeas i nDia, mo shláinaitheoir;
Óir dhearc sé le fabhar ar ísle a bhanóglaigh, Mar féach, déarfaidh na glúine uile feasta gur méanar dom.Óir rinne an Té atá cumhachtach nithe móra dom
agus is naofa a ainm.
Agus tá a thrócaire ó ghlúin go glúin,
dóibh seo ar a mbíonn a eagla.Thaispeáin sé neart a láimhe.
Scaip sé an dream a bhí uaibhreach i smaointe a gcroí.
Leag sé prionsaí óna gcathaoireacha
agus d’ardaigh se daoine ísle.
Líon sé lucht an ocrais le nithe maithe
agus chuir sé na saibhre uaidh folamh.D’fhóir sé ar Iosrael, a sheirbhíseach, ag cuimhneamh dó ar a thrócaire
de réir mar a gheall sé dár n-aithreacha, d’Abráhám agus dá shliocht go brách.
Glóir don Athair agus don mhac agus don Spiorad Naomh; mar a bhí ar dtús, mar atá anois agus mar a bhéas go brách le saol na saol. Amen.MAGNIFICAT
My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,
my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour,
for he has looked with
favour on his lowly servant,
and from this day all generations will call me blessed.The Almighty has done great things for me:
holy is his Name.
He has mercy on those who fear him
in every generation.He has shown the strength of his arm
he has scattered the proud in their conceit.
He has cast down the mighty from their thrones,
and has lifted up the lowly.
He has filled the hungry with good things,
and has sent the rich away empty.He has come to the help of his servant Israel
for he has remembered his promise of mercy,
the promise he made to our fathers,
to Abraham and his children for ever.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now and forever shall be. Amen.
