Rí na mBréag

nach le dochar ar bith dhuit é an coirce

that the oats are not harmful to you

ach go raibh trua aige dom féin agus go maith air

but that he had pity for myself and good on him.

nach raibh aon chúnamh againn

that we had no help.

agus go raibh an coirce buailte anois agus corraí insna acu

and that the oats were now threshed and stirred in them.

agus go mbeadh siad an chaitheadh anuas ar an talamh lá ar bith

and that they would be cast down to the ground any day.

tabharfaidh mé go raibh deifir orm go mba mhaith liom cuntas a thabhairt chomh fada le m'athair agus go mbeinn ag imeacht

I will say that I was in a hurry that I would like to give an account as far as my father and that I would be leaving.

agus iad ag an chaitheadh anuas nuair a bheith agam air

and them throwing down when I had it on.

d'imigh liom anuas agus bhí mé ag tíocht anuas ins an gcrann arís

I went down and I was coming down the tree again.

nuair a tháinig amach as taobh a chur a'inn ach sionnach

when out came from beside us but a fox.

ní sníonn bheith á gcumadh phóca agus chaith mé an scian leis an sionnach

does not weave being composed of pockets and I threw the knife at the fox.

tuairiscíonn i bhfastó i mbás an tsionnaigh

reports in a trap in the death of the fox

agus

and

tháinig píosa amach as

A piece came out of.

bás an tsionnaigh

death of the fox

agus bhí sé greamaithe ar an sníomh

and he was stuck on the spinning.
