Bible Translations Into Irish
Translations of the Bible into Irish were first printed and published in the 17th century: the New Testament, the ''Tiomna Nuadh,'' in 1602, the Old Testament, the ''Sean Thiomna,'' in 1685, and the entire Bible, the ''Biobla'' (Old and New Testaments combined) in 1690. Early retellings Prior to the translation of the Bible into Irish, retelling parts of the story was more common. One example of this is the tenth-century ''Saltair na Rann'', an account of the Creation and the lives of Adam and Eve. Walsh, Daniel and Bedell's version After the Tudor reconquest of Ireland, the established Church of Ireland attempted to consolidate the Reformation in Ireland, with little success among the Gaelic Irish. The first translation of the New Testament ''(Tiomna Nuadh)'' was begun by Nicholas Walsh, Bishop of Ossory, who worked on it until his untimely death in 1585. The work was continued by John Kearney (Treasurer of St. Patrick's, Dublin), his assistant, and Dr. Nehemiah Donellan, Arch ...
