Hi,
I read in a trip in Ireland this proverb:

May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
And rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.

Can someone help me to translates it in gaelic, please?

Thanks
Fabio

Look over to the left of the page in the "frequent translations" section. I'm not going into the "rising roads" territory.

Just an other question...I found two versions for translate the proverb....which is the correct version?

Go n-éirí an bóthar leat.
Go raibh cóir na gaoithe i gcónaí leat.
Go dtaitní an ghrian go bog bláth ar do chlár éadain,
go dtite an bháisteach go bog mín ar do ghoirt.
Agus go gcasfar le chéile sinn arís,
go gcoinní Dia i mbois a láimhe thú.


Go n-éirí an bóthar leat
Go raibh an ghaoth go brách ag do chúl
Go lonraí an ghrian go te ar d’aghaidh
Go dtite an bháisteach go mín ar do pháirceanna
Agus go mbuailimid le chéile arís,
Go gcoinní Dia i mbos A láimhe thú.

Thanks again...I have Ireland in my hearth...

Well be sure not to set fire to it! We might want it later.

Oh yes, i think so...but St. Agustine said

I'll give you a new heart, I will put a new spirit in you, and removed from your body the heart of stone, I will give you one of flesh....

I think I understand that the orginal version for the "Old Irish Blessing" is

May your journey succeed
May the wind be with you
May the sun shine softly on your forehead
May the rain fall softly on your fields
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand

which translates like:

Go n-éirí an bóthar leat.
Go raibh cóir na gaoithe i gcónaí leat.
Go dtaitní an ghrian go bog bláth ar do chlár éadain,
go dtite an bháisteach go bog mín ar do ghoirt.
Agus go gcasfar le chéile sinn arís,
go gcoinní Dia i mbois a láimhe thú.

But "unofficial" version that sound:

May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields
And until we meet again
May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.

it has this translates:

Go n-éirí an bóthar leat
Go raibh an ghaoth go brách ag do chúl
Go lonraí an ghrian go te ar d’aghaidh
Go dtite an bháisteach go mín ar do pháirceanna
Agus go mbuailimid le chéile arís,
Go gcoinní Dia i mbos A láimhe thú.

Is it so?!! :roll:

What thing? go n-éirí an bóthar leat...let the road rise with you...best of luck to you/ may you succeed....is there something else?

Just the little fact that when you put "éirigh" with "le," the meaning of the verb changes from "rise" to "succeed."
