“Ing angel a Gabriel menibat ya banwa

Ding bagwis na bala yelu ding mata na anting lagablab

“Lwid ka, ngana, ika mapakumbabang dalagang Marya,

Pekamatas turing a babai, Ligaya!

Balwan mung magi kang nwan a indu,

Ding sablang dai samban at puryan da ka,

Ing Mambang mu ya pin i Emanwel, ipabalu ding manula,

Pekamatas turing a babai, Ligaya!

Ing mayuming Marya banayad neng diku ing buntuk na,

“Kanaku miganap ing makapamatula king Dyos,”

Ngana, “Ing kaladwa ku samban ne at ibulalag ing Nwan a Lagyu Na.”

Pekamatas turing a babai, Ligaya!

Kaya, i Emanwel, ing Kristu mibait ya king Betle’em.

Iti ngan king munag ning Pasku

At ding Kristyanung memalen mabilug a yatu ngara,

“Pekamatas turing a babai, Ligaya!”

~ Payabut nang Gabryel (Gabriel's Message)

The first Nowell the angels did say

Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;

In fields where they lay, keeping their sheep,

On a cold winter’s night that was so deep:

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,

Born is the King of Israel.

“Tinalanga la at ikit de ing batwin,

Sislag king paralaya, malaut lagpus karela:

At king labwad minye maslag a sulu

At balabalaus ya aldo at bengi

Pasku, Pasku, Pasku, Pasku!

Mibait ya ing ari ning Israel.

At kapamilatan na ing aslag ning batwin mu namang ita,

Atlung Byasang Lalaki menibatan la karing bangsang mangarayu;

Ing pagdulapan ya ing Ari ing pagnasan da,

At bang talukyan ing batwin nu ya man munta

Pasku, Pasku, Pasku, Pasku!

Mibait ya ing ari ning Israel.

Ing batwing iti linto yang malapit king pangulung-paroba;

Babo ning Betle’em karin ya pepaynawa;

At karin ya mu naman tinuknang at migdatun,

Tulid ning dane nung nu ya mindatila i Yeswa

Pasku, Pasku, Pasku, Pasku!

Mibait ya ing ari ning Israel.

Kanita linub la ring Atlung Byasang Lalaki,

Magalang a siniklod karing intud da,

At minampang la karin king arapan Na,

Ing gintu, at mira at insensu.

Pasku, Pasku, Pasku, Pasku!

Mibait ya ing ari ning Israel.

Kanita ita mu ngan king metung a pikasundu

Magdalit papuri king Panginwan ning banwa

A miglalang king banwa at yatu ibat king ala,

At kapamilatan ning daya na inatbus na ing metuketawan

Pasku, Pasku, Pasku, Pasku!

Mibait ya ing ari ning Israel.

~ Ing Mumunang Pasku (The First Noel)
