Hey everyone, I know that a lot of help topics get posted, I was wanting part of St. Patrick's Breastplate Hym translated into Gaelic, and if anyone knew of a good translator, or knew how to write it in traditional Irish Script I would pay them for it. I apologize that I don't know what the traditional Irish script is called, but I do have a couple of links here to what I'm looking for. Any help I could get would be greatly appreciated and I'll pay for the help.

Thanks everyone.

Christ be with me, Christ within me,
Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ beside me, Christ to win me,
Christ to comfort and restore me.
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
Christ in hearts of all that love me,
Christ in mouth of friend and strange

Oh awesome! Thank you so much, I must admit I don't know much about Old Irish, is there a way to get it looking like the old Irish on the signs? Or is that just a matter of font? Thank you for the help!

And here's a link to translation into Modern Irish

http://www.smo.uhi.ac.uk/gaeilge/corpus ... reach.html

If you go to the link "Irish Font Writer" on the left hand side of this page you can enter your text and generat a jpeg of it.
Or alternatively you can click on the "Fonts" link and download Irish fonts onto your computer and type it out in the typescript yourself.
