The 4 Gospels and Acts of the Apostles 1943

An Scrioptúir Naomhtha - Na Ceithre Soiscéil agus Gníomhartha na n-Abstal (The Holy Scriptures - The 4 Gospels and Acts of the Apostles) was first translated into Irish Gaelic by Pádraig Mac Giolla Cheara. It was published in Gaelic type in 1943 by Comhaltas Uladh of Belfast and Dundalk. It got the Imprimatur from Cardinal Joseph MacRory, Archbishop of Armagh, Primate of All Ireland.

Acts of the Apostles 1961

Pádraig Mac Giolla Cheara later produced a second edition of the Acts of the Apostles. This was rendered into the revised modern Irish grammar and spelling, with updated spelling of proper names. This was published in 1961.

Digital Edition

The text was digitised for the Bible Society of Northern Ireland in 2018, with the help of the Colin Glenn Christian Fellowship and the Bible Society. This was converted into modern -h style spelling to use Roman script fonts in 2019.
