The New Testament in Irish and English, side by side

This parallel edition pairs William O’Donnell’s 1603 Irish New Testament with the 1769 King James Bible, placing corresponding chapters and verses together for comparison. The English text is included as an aid to understanding older Irish vocabulary. The accompanying historical account traces the translation project to a commission by Queen Elizabeth in 1571 and describes the translators’ work, which began in 1573 and took nearly 25 years to complete, followed by preparation for printing.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers studying the Irish New Testament alongside an English Bible
  • Those interested in the history of Irish Bible translation
  • Readers comparing older Irish vocabulary with the King James text

Book overview

This edition of the William O'Donnell 1603 Irish New Testament is made available to the reader along with the English text of the 1769 King James Bible in parallel. The KJV text is included to allow for easier understanding of older Irish words in the Irish text. Each chapter and verse is side-by-side on each page of this edition allowing for direct comparisons and better understanding of the meanings of the texts.

The original work began when Queen Elizabeth commissioned it in 1571, at her own expense. The work of translating from the Greek texts of the New Testament was begun in 1573 by Nicholas Walsh, John Kearney (or O'Cearnagh), William O'Donnell, from Kilkenny, Nehemiah O'Donellan, and Máoilin óg Mac Brody. Their work took nearly 25 years to complete, and then five more years to set the type and put to print by John Francton the printer.
