Asbertsat na milidh fris :

Is do t'innsaighe siu, ar siad, rocuiread sinne nogu rucmuis a cuibreach thu do thigh in impir ar daigh gur adhra na dei.

Raghadsa can chuibreach libhsi, ol se, madh ail dibh, oir saerfaidh Dia me o chumachtaibh bar n-atharsi .i. diabhuill.

Ac, ar se, libhse raghad, acht ernaigidh frium bic guro foillsigthi neart De duib.

Ni fetmuid, ar na milidh, uair tarnic ar lon.

Tucaidh damsa, for Cristoforus, ma ta fudhell beag agaibh, gu toirirsa [3] duibh e dia chaithimh, ⁊ gu faicthi sibh in mirbhuile dogena Dia ann.

Doratsad do iarumh an beagan robai acu.

Geibhidh iarumh Cristoforus in fudhell, ⁊ asbert ann sidhe :

Rugadh iarumh e cusin ri.

Odcunnairc an ri Cristoforus romhachtnaigh an ri comor ⁊ rosgabh eagla gur thuit o a righshuidhe.

Mas ar omhan De rothoitis, ar Cristoforus, is maith duit oir iarfaidh Dia fort gach aon tucais a malairt gan cinidh occa.

Canas tanacais siu, for Deic, ⁊ cia hainm fil ort ? Cristaidhe me, ar Cristoforus, ⁊ Reprobus m'ainm resiu dochreidius.

Dena idhbuirt dona deib, a Reprobus, ar Deic, ⁊ dobhersa maithius ⁊ sacradoiti duit.

Bidh urradhairc leat mo mhalairt, for Cristoforus, ⁊ tiagat do dhee for neimhni, oir ni dee iad acht deamhna.

Asbert an ri a thog-bhail ⁊ a fholt do cheangul diaroile.

Dorinneadh amal adubhairt.

Asbert in ri :

Dena idhbuirt dona deibh ⁊ ba beo.

Ni dhen, for Cristoforus, oir isat deamhna.

Asbert an ri a chorp uile do scerdiughadh o ingnibh iarainn, ⁊ donith amhlaidh.

Ni heagal liumsa, for Cristoforus, an phian aimsirdha san, ⁊ eagal duit siu imorro in phian shuthain fogeba.

Asbert in ri iarna fhergughadh da lochrand ar lasadh do thabhairt fa thaebhaibh.

Asbert popul nar bo choir fear a eagnaidhachta sut do chur isna pianaibh ud, acht a bhreagadh o bhriathraibh ceannsaibh.

Taithmigtar [1] a chuibhrighi dhe dono, ar in ri.

Rotaithmighidh de iarumh.

Dena idhbuirt dona deibh, ar in ri, ⁊ bidh tu dherghaighfes mo charbad damsa.

Doghensa derghughadh do charbuid, ⁊ biad acud, ⁊ creid do Crist, ⁊ biaidh righe a neimh agad.

Nidarsidaigh [2] uime sin, for in ri .i. tusa ac aslach formsa na dee d'fhacbhail [3] ⁊ mise oc a radh fritsa idhbuirt doibh.

Ata liumsa comhuirle mhaith duit, ar fear da mhuinter risin righ, .i. cuirthear a teach foleith e ⁊ da mhnai chruthacha ar aon fris ann, ⁊ edaighe chumhdhachta umpu ;

⁊ o laighfes gradh nam ban fair doghena idhbuirt dona deibh.

Ba mhaith frisin righ in chomhuirle sin, ⁊ rocuingheadh iarumh on righ da mhnai chruthacha, ⁊ dobertha iad a teach foleith la [4] Cristoforus.

Dorinne iarumh Cristoforus ernaigthe cofada, ⁊ a ghnuis fri lar. O roscaich a ernaigthe tuargaibh a ghnuis o lar. Odcunncadar na mna e rosgaibh omhun ⁊ eagla iad, ⁊ rotheich siad roimhe. Ba marbh sinn, ar siad, dia faicim ni is mo. Cid dia tangabhair a leith ? for Cristoforus. Nir fhreagradar na mna e fri eagla. Asbert doridhis : Cidh dia tangabhair a leith ? ar se. Nir fhreagradar fos. Creididh am Dhiasa, a thruagha, for se. Adubhairt an bhean fri a ceile : Ata olc mor duinn ann so; muna creidimne a Dhia siumh, nonmairbhfea. Dia creidim imorro nonmairbhfea in ri. Adubhairt imorro aon dona mnaibh .i. Aicilina : Is sidhe is fearr duinn creideamh in a Dhia siumh, ar daigh guraibh [1] beatha shuthain duinn. A Cristoforus naemh, ar iatsan, guidh forainne guru logha Dia ar peacaidh duinn. Creididh an Dia [2] bithbeo amhain, ar se, ⁊ doghen sa guidhe tar bar ceann.

O robhadar ar in imradhughadh sin tainic coimhedaigh inna caithreach cucu, ⁊ asbert : Ticidh amach, or se, atathar ga bar n-iarraidh. O tangadar iarumh cusin ri, adubhairt sidhe friu : In roshaebhsabhair in fear ut, ar se, guro aentaigheadh fribh? Rochreidsiumne in a Dhia siumh, for in Aicilina, oir ni fuil slainte a neach eile acht ann. Roshaebhsabhair e, bar in ri, ⁊ roimpobhair ar ar n-deibh ne ? Is e in t-aon Dia namha fil i nimh, for Aicilina, creidmuid. Bar n-dee si imorro, ar Aicilina, ad clocha sidhe ⁊ ni chumchat [3] nach maith eile do dheanamh acht in lucht adrait iad do chur immalairt.

Rofeargaigheadh an ri fri sidhe, ⁊ adubhairt a togbhail ⁊ a folt do cheangul ⁊ da chloich do cheangul dia lamhaibh fo dhaigh a mbrisdidh. Dorinneadh amlaidh, ⁊ rofegh Aicilina ar Cristoforus ainnsidhe, ⁊ adubhairt : A Christoforus naemh, or si, dena ernaigthe tar mo cheann. Dorinne Cristoforus ernaigthe for a ceann, ⁊ rofaidh a spirut fai sin. Asbert an ri a corp do choimed gan adhlucadh.

Tucadh dono an bhean eile dinnsaighe an righ. i. Caillica a h-ainm sidhe. Asbert an ri : Dena idhbuirt dona deibh, ar se, ⁊ dobhersa onoir mor duit, ⁊ doghentar [4] dealbh orrdha duit acum. Abair amhain, ar Caillica, cait in dingen [5] in idhbuirt. Berar i, ar in ri, co teampoll na dee gu n-dearna idhbuirt ann. Doberar callaire roimpi do fhuagra .i. Caillica ag idhbuirt dona deibh. Ba maith risin aes uile sin. Andar leo dogheanadh go fir an idhbuirt.

Doluidh si iarumh isin teampoll. O rodech si ar sagart an teampuill ⁊ ar cach archeana, adubhairt sidhe : Feghaidh si guna don dia mor idhbraim sa. Luidh isin teampoll an innsaighe an aite a m-badar na dee, ⁊ tarrusdair a fiadhnuise Ioib. A Ioib, ar si, abair friud chumhail cidh doghena. Ni thug in dia freagra dhi. Fearg ata oc na deibh frimsa, or si, uair ni thabhraid freagra damh, no dono is na colladh atait. Asbert dorisi : Ma ta cumhachta agaibh, or si, freagraidh, ⁊ muna bfuil imorro cidh dia curthai na daine a malairt. A Dhe na corp ⁊ na n-anmann, ar si, tar domh fhurtacht. Roghlac cuici dealbh Ioib cu lar, ⁊ roleagh amhal ceir, ⁊ robhris na dei eile on iniudh ceadna. A Dhee, ar si, ma ta cumang agaibh cidh atathi can bar saeradh fein. Rogabhadh i ainnsidhe, ⁊ rugadh do thig in righ i. Muna gabhmuis ni i, ar na milidh, ni faicfeadh aon dealbh can lot.

Roghealluis damhsa, ar an ri, a dhroch bhean, gun digheanta idhbuirt dona deibh, ⁊ ni headh dorinnis acht a lot. At Issad F. olca na dee, ar si, dia cumhcann bean ni doib. Is e an firdhia imorro inti nach feadar do chlodh o neach, ⁊ is e sidhe mo dhia sa, ⁊ as ann creidim. Asbert in ri da chlo iarainn do shathughadh an a bonnaibh guroisdis a braighidh fud a cuirp, ⁊ cloch do thabhairt fo muinel dia briseadh. Rofegh si ar Cristoforus ainnsin, ⁊ asbert: A Christoforus naemh, or si, guidh tar mo cheann. Dorinne Cristoforus ernaigthe fuirri ann sidhe, ⁊ rofaidh a spirut. Asbert in ri a corp do choimed can adhlucuis co rocht corp Cristoforus cuigi.

Asbert an ri: Is olc an t-ainm, ar se, .i. Reprobus, ⁊ is granna t'fhegudh, ⁊ is fearr lind do bhas su ina in chathair do mhilleadh tre dhruidheacht. Dena idhbuirt dona deibh ⁊ ni pianfaithar thu. Asbert Cristoforus: A chleithe an idhaladhartha ⁊ om. F a chinn in ecraibhtheachta, ni dhingen sa om. F idhbuirt dona deibh bodhra balbha fuathaighthi, acht cheana dob ail damh sa do bhreith siu for set an bheathadh guro thuice glor nDe.

Tangadar annsidhein an da chead mileadh roghabhsad Cristoforus, ⁊ rolaighsead an armh ⁊ an eideadh dibh a fiadhnuise an righ ⁊ rophocsad cosa Cristoforus. Is namha damhsa Cristoforus, ar in ri, oir do mhill na dee ⁊ ruc mo mhilidh uaim. Asbert na milidh : Cristaidhe sinne, or siad, on lo do cuireadh sinn ar ceann moghadh Dhe. Robheannaigh se, ar siad, bairgin duinn forsan slighidh, 7[1] tug rath nDe forrain. Dobher sa maithius mor duibh, or an ri, ⁊ na faccaidh me.

Raghair siu a teinidh annsin, for in ri. Doradadh Cristoforus ar n-a cheangul a leabaidh umhaidhi ⁊ doradadh carn mor connaidh fair, ⁊ dorteadh tricha leasdar d'ola na cheann, ⁊ rohadannadh teine mor fair annsin.
