Turas Siar 192 - Pádraig Ó Raghallaigh, Oiligh

Bhí rí ann uair amháin.

There was a king once...

Agus chuir sé duais amach.

And he offered a reward..

Go dtabharfadh sé a iníon le pósadh do fhear ar bith a bheith in ann éach a bhaint as.

That he would give his daughter in marriage to any man who would be able to achieve it.

Agus bhí go leor rítí agus prionsa agus go leor fir léannta ag tíocht chomh fada leis agus ní raibh siad in ann aon bhua a fháil air.

And many kings and princes and many learned men came to him and they were not able to overcome him.

Ach bhí mac Bhaintrí ann agus bhí sé an-bhocht ach go raibh sé an-chliste.

But there was a widow’s son and he was very poor but he was very clever.

agus

and. .

Ní raibh.

There was not.. .

Éadaí bláfar ná rud ar bith aige agus b'éigean dó culaith éadaigh a fháil.

He had no warm clothes or anything and he had to get a suit of clothes.

Dhá chomharsa a chuir an tAthair.

Two neighbours whom the Father sent..

Agus fuair sé chomh fada leis an rí.

And he got as far as the king..

Nuair a chonaic searbhántaí an rí uilig go léir é, 'sén chaoi ar thosaigh siad dhá marú féin ag gáirí faoi.

When all the king's servants saw him, that's how they started killing themselves laughing at him.

Ach ar chuma ar bith.

But anyway.. .

Lig siad isteach é chomh fada leis an rí.

They let him in as far as the king.

Agus d'inis sé don rí cén áit a raibh sé ag dul.

And he told the king where he was going.

Thug an rí amach é.

The king banished him.
