Seo a’ Bhànrigh Bhioctoria (This is Queen Victoria)

#gaelic #paisley #gaidhlig #gàidhlig

Seo a' Bhànrigh Bhioctoria.
(Shaw uh Vown-ree VYOK-tor-yah).
(This is Queen Victoria)

Thàinig i gu Pàislig ann an 1888.
(HAH-nik ee goo PAASH-lik ahn un EIGHTEEN eighty-eight).
(She came to Paisley in 1888)

Tha e sgòthach.
(Ha eh SKOH-hawch).
(it is Cloudy)

"Seo a' Bhànrigh Bhioctoria" is better understood as:

"Seo" = "This is"
"a'" = a shortened form of "an", the definite article for feminine singular nouns.
"Bhànrigh" = the lenited form of "Banrigh" (Queen).
"Bhioctoria" = lenited because proper names following a title (like "Queen") are lenited in Gaelic.

Rosary Prayers in Scottish Gaelic

#catholic #rosary #scottishgaelic #gaidhlig #worldrosaryday

I recite the Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary (Complete) in Scottish Gaelic.

Creed
Creideam ann an Dia,
an t-Athair uile-chumhachdach,
Cruthadair neimh agus talmhuinn.
Agus ann an Ìosa Crìosda, 'aon Mhac-san, ar Tighearna,
a ghineadh leis an Spiorad Naomh,
a rugadh le Moir' Òigh,
a dh'fhuilig fo Phontius Pilat,
a cheusadh, a fhuair bàs, is a thìodhlaiceadh,
a chaidh sìos a dh'ifrinn,
a dh'èirich an treas latha bho an mairbh,
a chaidh suas air nèimh, a tha na shuidhe air deas làimh Dhè an t-Athair uile-chumhachdach,
a sin thig e rithis a thoirt breitheanais air bheò is air mhairbh.
Creideam anns an Spiorad Naomh,
an Eaglais naomh Chaitligeach,
co-chomann nan Naomh,
mathanas nam peacannan,
aiseirigh na colainne,
is a' bheatha shìorraidh.
Amen

Our Father
Ar n-Athair, a tha air nèamh,
gu’m bu naomh a bhios t’ainm;
gu’n tigeadh do rìoghachd,gu’n dèanar do thoil
air talamh mar a thathas a’ dèanamh air nèamh.
Thor dhuinn an diugh ar n-aran lathail;
math dhuinn ar fiachan,
mar a mhathas sinne do luchd-ar fiach.
Agus na leig ann am buaireadh sinn.
Ach saor sinn bho’n olc.
Amen.

Hail Mary
Fàilte dhut, a Mhoire,
tha thu làn de na gràsan
tha an Tighearna maille riut
is beannaichte thu am measg nam mnà,
agus is beannaichte toradh do bhronn, Ìosa.
A Naomh Mhoire, a Mhàthair Dhè,
guidh' air ar sonne na peacaich
a nis agus aig uair ar bàis.
Amen

Glory Be
Glòir don Athair, agus don Mhac, agus don Spiorad Naomh.
Mar a bha, 's mar a tha, 's mar a bhitheas, fad shaoghal nan saoghal.
Amen

Fatima Prayer:
A Iosa, gabh mathanas dhuinn ar peacaidhean, saor sinn o theine ifrinn, agus thoir gach anam gu neamh, gu h-àraidh iadsan as motha a tha feumach air do thròcair.

I kept the final prayers in English for the moment.
