D猫 cho e貌lach 鈥檚 a tha sibh air a鈥� Bh矛oball? Tha mi a鈥� dol a leughadh earrann 脿s an Tiomnadh Nuadh. Saoil am bi sibh ga h-aithneachadh? Seo i: Anns an toiseach bha am Facal, agus bha am Facal c貌mhla ri Dia, agus b鈥� e am Facal Dia.

听听听听听听听听听听听 Ma tha sibh cleachdte ris an t-seann Bh矛oball, bidh sibh e貌lach air an earrainn mar seo: Anns an toiseach bha am Focal, agus bha am Focal maille ri Dia, agus b鈥� e am Focal Dia.

听听听听听听听听听听听 Tha iad coltach ri ch猫ile, nach eil? Ach chan eil iad buileach co-ionann ri ch猫ile. Carson? Uill, 鈥檚 e eadar-theangachadh 霉r a th鈥� anns an dreach a leugh mi an toiseach. Agus d猫 an earrann a th鈥� ann? Tha i 脿s an t-Soisgeul a r猫ir E貌in, Caibideil 1, Earrann 1.

听听听听听听听听听听听 Tha a鈥� Gh脿idhlig mar a tha gach c脿nan be貌. Bidh i ag atharrachadh tro th矛m. Ma tha am B矛oball gu bhith air a thuigsinn leis a h-uile duine, feumar an teacs 霉rachadh bho 脿m gu 脿m. Sin mura h-eil d脿 she貌rsa de Gh脿idhlig gu bhith ann 鈥� G脿idhlig na coimhearsnachd air an d脿rna l脿imh, agus G脿idhlig a鈥� Bh矛obaill air an l脿imh eile.

听听听听听听听听听听听 Tha fhios nach eil a h-uile duine riaraichte le dreach 霉r de theacs a鈥� Bh矛obaill. Tha an aon rud f矛or ann am Beurla, far a bheil feadhainn dhen bheachd nach eil dreach nas fhe脿rr na iris R矛gh Sheumais a chuireadh ri ch猫ile o chionn ceithir cheud bliadhna. Leanaidh cuid le bhith a鈥� cleachdadh seann dreach dhen Bh矛oball 鈥� ann am Beurla agus G脿idhlig.

Ach tha Comunn Bh矛obaill na h-Alba air dreach ur a thoirt a-mach de Leabhar E貌in ann an nua-Gh脿idhlig. 鈥橲 e sin cainnt a tha faisg air ma a tha daoine a鈥� bruidhinn is a鈥� sgr矛obhadh a鈥� ch脿nain anns an aonamh linn air fhichead. Tha e nas fhasa do luchd-ionnsachaidh.

Tha mi a鈥� dol a dh猫anamh coimeas eadar earrannan 脿s a鈥� chiad chaibideil de Leabhar E貌in anns an t-seann Bh矛oball, agus an iris 霉r. Seo agaibh earrannan 9 gu 12, a鈥� t貌iseachadh leis an t-seann iris: B鈥� e so an solus f矛or a tha 鈥檚oillseachadh gach uile dhuine 鈥檛ha 鈥檛eachd chum an t-saoghal. Bha e anns an t-saoghal, agus rinneadh an saoghal leis, agus cha 诲鈥檃ithnich an saoghal e. Th脿inig e a dh鈥檌onnsuidh a dh霉thcha f茅in, agus cha do ghabh a mhuinntir f茅in ris. Ach a mheud as a ghabh ris, thug e dhoibh cumhachd a bhi 鈥檔 an cloinn do Dhia, eadhon dhoibhsan a tha 鈥檆reidsinn 鈥檔 a ainm.

Seo agaibh a-nise an aon sreath earrannan anns an iris 霉ir: Bha an solas f矛or, a tha a鈥� soillseachadh a h-uile neach, a鈥� tighinn dhan t-saoghal. Bha e anns an t-saoghal, agus ged a chaidh an saoghal a dh猫anamh troimhe, cha do dh鈥檃ithnich an saoghal e. Th脿inig e gu a chuid fh猫in, ach cha do ghabh a chuid fh猫in ris. Ach dhan fheadhainn a ghabh ris, dhan fheadhainn a chreid na ainm, thug e dhaibh c貌ir a bhith nan cloinn do Dhia.

Ma n矛 sibh sgr霉dadh air an dreach sgr矛obhte dhen Litir, ch矛 sibh na diofair a th鈥� ann eadar an d脿 dhreach de Leabhar E貌in. Chaidh na h-eadar-theangairean 霉ra air ais don dreach ann an Seann Ghreugais. Agus chleachd iad faclan is abairtean a tha nas fhasa do dhaoine thuigsinn san latha an-diugh. Saoilidh mi gun do rinn iad obair mhath.

saoil am bi sibh ga h-aithneachadh?: I wonder if you鈥檒l recognise it; buileach co-ionann ri ch猫ile: identical to each other; 脿s an t-Soisgeul a r猫ir E貌in, Caibideil 1, Earrann 1: from the Gospel according to John, Chapter 1, Verse 1; air a thuigsinn: understood; feumar an teacs 霉rachadh: the text must be renewed; X air an d脿rna l脿imh, agus Y air an l脿imh eile: X on the one hand, and Y on the other hand; iris R矛gh Sheumais a chuireadh ri ch猫ile o chionn ceithir cheud bliadhna: the King James version that was put together 400 years ago; Comunn Bh矛obaill na h-Alba: The Scottish Bible Society; anns an aonamh linn air fhichead: in the 21st Century; Bha an solas f矛or, a tha a鈥� soillseachadh a h-uile neach, a鈥� tighinn dhan t-saoghal: The true light, that lights every man, was coming to the world; ged a chaidh an saoghal a dh猫anamh troimhe: although the world was made through him; Th脿inig e gu a chuid fh猫in, ach cha do ghabh a chuid fh猫in ris: He came to his own but his own did not accept him (the older translation says 鈥淗e came to his own country and his own people did not accept him鈥�); dhan fheadhainn a chreid na ainm: to those who believed in his name; c貌ir a bhith nan cloinn do Dhia: [the] right to become children of God.

cha 诲鈥檃ithnich an saoghal e / cha do dh鈥檃ithnich an saoghal e: these are older and newer ways of saying 鈥渢he world knew him not鈥�. In 鈥渟tandard鈥� modern usage, at least with regular verbs, we tend to teach learners that the past tense forms of verbs which start with a vowel, or with 鈥渇鈥� which becomes silenced by lenition, involve the following structures: cha do dh鈥橷, an do dh鈥橷? There are two riders on that. In some dialects the interrogative form an do dh鈥橷? is replaced by na eg an do dh鈥檉h脿g e c脿il? becomes na dh鈥檉h脿g e c脿il? And in older texts we often see 诲鈥� instead of do dh鈥�. Here are two other examples from the Book of John, with the old version first and the new Gaelic translation, along with English translation, in brackets: gun 诲鈥檉halbh a dheisciobuil 鈥檔 an aonar (gun do dh鈥檉halbh a dheisciobail nan aonar, that his disciples went away by themselves); gu鈥檔 诲鈥檌th sibh de na builionnaibh (gun do dh鈥檌th sibh dhe na lofaichean, that you ate of the loaves).

rinneadh an saoghal leis: the world was made by him.
