Irish Translation Forum

I was looking to get something like "May the Grace of God be with me and not weaken my heart" across my collarbones.
I have been looking online for different translations and all 4 that I have are completely different.
I WOULD SOOOOOOO appreciate any input. Thank you!!

Wait for applause..or condemntion
Go raibh grásta Dé agam 's nár lagaí é mo chroí

I was given

"Rath de Ort Nar laga Dia mo lamh"

does the above mean
"May the grace of God be with you and may God never weaken my heart"?????

I love the way it is written but I cant figure out if that is indeed what it means.

I really really do appreciate your help.
I was told by my aunt that "Rath De Ort" means "May the Grace of God be with you" also.

Ahhh ... lol need help... my appointment for the tattoo is coming up.

The correct spelling of what you have been given would be Rath Dé ort agus nár lagaí Dia mo lámh. but that would mean "God prosper you and may God not weaken my hand."

What BB has given you above says what you asked for at first, and would say what you asked for the second time around ( ) if modified as follows:

Go raibh grásta Dé agat agus nár lagaí Dia mo chroí
"May the grace of God be with you and may God never weaken my heart"

I think the go raibh may be optional when there is a prepositional pronoun indicating the action of giving. If go raibh is removed the g on grásta will be capitalised:

Grásta Dé agat agus nár lagaí Dia mo chroí

The above will work if the person receiving the grace of God is remaining where they are. If they are leaving, grásta Dé leat may be more appropriate. Grásta Dé duit and grásta Dé ort may also be possible.

Await further input ...

Thank you very very much! I do greatly appreciate it.

Do either of you know the correct pronunciation for this? I dont want to sound funny when I say it.

We seem to have migrated from

May the Grace of God be with me and not weaken my heart

to

May the grace of God be with you and may God never weaken my heart

Reegs35123, can you clarify whether you want "me" or "you" in that?

Thank u mhwombat......I definetly want it to be "ME"
