An tAthair Mánus Mac Suibhne

go raibh an tathair mánas in acaill

may the father be in Achill

agus ansin dhá dhonacht dhá raibh an b'fhéidir

and then twice as bad as it was possible.

b'éigean do na yeomen a chur go hacaill

the yeomen had to be sent to Achill.

ar fháil ansin athair mánas

obtaining then father of the monastery

d'imigh siad go hacaill ansin

They went to Achill then.

'agus chuartaigh siad íseal agus ard

and they searched low and high.

agus áirithe amháin

and only certain.

tháinig siad isteach ins an teach a raibh sé ann

They came into the house where he was.

'agus chuartaigh siad é

'and they searched for him.'

agus bhí siad imithe amach uilig go léir ach an fear deiridh

and they had all gone out except the last man.

agus loisc sé urchar

and he fired a shot.

suas ar an lota a bhí in éadan an tí

up on the plot that was against the house.

agus thuas ansin a bhí an tathair mánas

and up there was the father of the monastery.

agus bhí an báire leis ach seanbhean a bhí sa gclúid

and the victory was with him but an old woman was in the corner.

níl an mbord ar adeir sí tá an tathair mánas marbh

The table is not what she says, the father Manus is dead.
