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
|
