Agus ní raibh sé in ann siúl dhá choiscéim.

And he was not able to walk two steps.

Sé a chuirfidh sé.

He will put it.

Ag bogléimeacht agus ag caitheamh ábhógaí, mar a déarfá.

Jumping around and throwing somersaults, as you might say.

Agus ní broc a bhí ann.

And it wasn't a badger.

Ní ó ní hea ach ba iad cosaí an bhruic a bhí air bhí na cosaí chomh trom láidir anois agus imní móra fada air crúbaí trom air.

It was not from nothing but it was the badger's legs he had, the legs were so heavy and strong now and great long worries on him, heavy claws on him.

Agus nuair a nuair a shíneadh sé nuair a thosaíodh sé ag caitheamh na na rúideoga seo

And when he stretched when he started throwing these fits.

Chuirfeadh sé cruit ina dhroim ar dtús agus ansin chaithfeadh sé féin.

He would first put a hump on his back and then he would throw himself...

Ní raibh sé in ann corradh de na chruit a chur ina dhroim, go díreach má chuirfeadh cata anois an mbeifí seasamh mada roimhe chuirfeadh sé cruit air féin, cuir grúis air féin leis an madadh.

He tried to get into one of the old ones, the Hanraí family's house was down here in the town and they had to close the door and go after him and put him from the door and the dogs weren't, he was, he was jumping with it like that and pulling down here on the town and it seems that it was on the day of the sea he was trying to do it, it seems it was something that came from that and was he mischievous or fighting...

Nó ab é an chaoi a raibh?

Or was it the way it was?

Á bhí sé bhí bhí bhí sé an-achrannach mar a déarfá á bhí agus

Ah, it was, it was, it was, it was very troublesome as you would say, ah it was and.
