i already have in Gaelic on my side "i walk through the valley of the shadow of death, and i fear no evil for you are with me" and my next tattoo i want to be "from dust we are born and to dust we shall return" i would love for an accurate translation please and thank you

As an luaithreach is ea a rugadh sinn, agus ar an luaithreach is ea a fhillfimid

This is a paraphrase from the bible.

The passage from the bible reads
For thou art dust, and unto dust thou shalt return.
Óir is luaithreach thú, agus ar an luaithreach is ea a fhillfidh tú.

You have a similar but different phrase and I have used the original bible passage as a basis for the translation.

I had the same question... It helps me a lot,

Yes. The use of "is ea" before a relative clause is most common today in Munster.
