Oh, boy, is it ever rusty! I'm not guaranteeing the grammar...

Tha feadhainn feòil aca; cha foad iad ithe
Agus iarraidh feadhainn; chan eil feòil aca
Ach tha feòil againn agus faod sinn ithe
Mar sin taing An Tighearna!

For an American you'd say it thus: ("ch" is as in German, or Scots "loch", "CH" as in English "ch", "E" is how you pronounce the letter 'E' but don't emphasize it, emphasis indicated by apostrophe):

"ha fay'yEnn fE'ooil ak'ha; cha fuud' E'at E'hya
ah'goose yar'rE fay'yEnn; chahn yell' fE'ooil akha
ach' ha fE'ooil ahk'Enn ah'goose fuud' shinn E'hya
mar shin taink' ahn CHEr'na!

("feòil", meat or flesh, is a little difficult to render)
