Today’s Mass Readings in Irish

My son, if you take my words to heart,

  if you set store by my commandments,

tuning your ear to wisdom,

  and applying your heart to truth:

yes, if your plea is for clear perception,

  if you cry out for discernment,

if you look for it as if it were silver,

  and search for it as for buried treasure,

you will then understand what the fear of the Lord is,

  and discover the knowledge of God.

For the Lord himself is giver of wisdom,

  from his mouth issue knowledge and discernment.

He keeps his help for honest men,

  he is the shield of those whose ways are honourable;

he stands guard over the paths of justice,

  he keeps watch on the way of his devoted ones.

Then you will understand what virtue is, justice, and fair dealing,

  all paths that lead to happiness.

Alleluia, alleluia!

How happy are the poor in spirit:

theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Alleluia!

Peter spoke to Jesus. ‘What about us?’ he said. ‘We have left everything and followed you. What are we to have, then?’ Jesus said to him, ‘I tell you solemnly, when all is made new and the Son of Man sits on his throne of glory, you will yourselves sit on twelve thrones to judge the twelve tribes of Israel. And everyone who has left houses, brothers, sisters, father, mother, children or land for the sake of my name will be repaid a hundred times over, and also inherit eternal life.’
