Sèist: |
Chorus (after each verse): |
|
O nach éisdeadh tu 'n sgeul le aire |
Oh that you would listen to the tale attentively |
|
Dh'innse 'n éifeachd tha'n réit' na fala |
To tell of the efficacy that is in atonement by blood |
|
O nach éisdeadh tu 'n sgeul le aire |
Oh that you would listen to the tale attentively |
| |
|
|
Chuirinn impidh ort thu ghrad philltinn |
I implore you to turn back quickly |
|
M'am bi thu millt, o gabh suim dha d'anam |
Before you're destroyed, oh take care for your soul |
| |
|
|
Sluagh gun chùram, tha'n dorus dùint' orr' |
Careless people, the door is closed on them |
|
'S tha claidheamh rùisgt' air a chùl dha'm faire |
And there is a naked sword behind it to watch them |
| |
|
|
Sluagh gun àireamh 'nan seasamh làmh ris |
People without number, standing near him |
|
Ach 's daor a thàinig thu ghràidh dha'n ceannach |
But it was at great cost that you came, love, to redeem them |
| |
|
|
Ni Nicodemus is a chéile |
Nicodemus, and his partner |
|
'S Manasseh féin fuil na réit a ghlanadh |
And Manasseh himself can be washed in the blood of atonement |
| |
|
|
Faic an t-óigear rinn 'fhuil a dhòrtadh |
See the young man who split his blood |
|
Do pheacaich mhór thainig beò tre 'ghlanadh |
For great sinners who came alive though his cleansing |
| |
|
|
Cluinn thu tàirneanach beinn Shinài |
Hear the thundering of Mount Sinai |
|
Tha bagraidh bàis 'g iarraidh làn de pheanas |
Death threatens, asking for full penance |
| |
|
|
Ma tha thu ad'bhantraich, 's e féin is ceann ort |
If you are widowed, he is at your head |
|
Cur séile teann ann am bonn a gheallaidh |
Putting a firm seal on the trueness of his promise |
