The phrases would sound more natural in Irish with the clauses reversed: Tá ar na seaduine bás a fháil The old [people] must die chun a bheith athbheirthe in order to be reborn Tá orainn dó ar dtús We must burn first chun a bheith athbheirthe in order to be reborn Please Note: I'm not a fluent speaker, so be sure to wait for comments or corrections from others.

maybe, thinking of the inking involved you could abbrv it to -
tagann bás roimh athbhreith death precedes rebirth ní mór don bhás teacht roimh athbhreith death must precede rebirth |

Yet more succinct and cheaper: Ni athbhreith go bás
(No mention of the ould ones though in mine or glik's) |

Not quite as cheap but nearly as succinct..
Is túisce bás ná athbhreith. |

I second this with a modification Is túisce bás na sean ná athbhreith |
