Bhí soilse ar lasadh i dtigh sin na haíochta,
Cóiriú gan caoile, bia agus deoch,
Do cheannaithe olla, do cheannaithe síoda,
Ach luífidh Mac Dé ins an tigh seo anocht.

A near literal translation (words in brackets are not in the original)

There were lights on in that house of hospitality (guest house)
Food and drink laid on without narrowness
For (wealthy) wool merchants, for silk merchants,
but the Son of God will sleep in this house (our house) tonight

cóiriú gan caoile - - is not easily translated. It means the arrangements and festive fare in the hotel were provided lavishly without any limits.
