Enclosed is the Irish/English New Testament in an Interlinear format so that it can be read on epub devices. In this generally interlinear format, the text of each Scripture verse appears in Irish first, with the same verse in English on the next line, followed by a small gap before the next verse.

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.
