Irish Translation Forum

Could someone please give me a close translation for the following Japanese quote:

Masakatsu Agatsu = True Victory is Victory (or Mastery) Over Oneself

I would love to know if there is a close Gaelic translation of this.

Thank you!

It's a mission for Tim Gorilla...I'd say.

true victory over one self...Ní bua go bua ort féin


wait for more input

Does anyone else have further input, or would that be the closest?

Ní bua go bua ort féin.
No victory until victory on yourself.

That's as close as you're gonna get, or maybe:

Is fíor-bhua é an bua ort féin.
Victory on yourself is true victory.

Closer to your original, but Seán's is better Irish.

Thank you so much for your help!

I think this is pretty close as a translation:

Féin Bhua, Bua Iomlán

iomlán means total or complete, so the above translates pretty closely.

Self victory (is) complete victory.

(1) I'm not so sure about that (2) this topic is a year old anyway.
