I am asking for help in having two quotes translated for tattoos as well as the pronunciation of each. If you have a suggestion of font to use as well, please include that. The quotes I am looking at are the following;

"God did not save me to tame me, arise lioness!"

"Warrior daughter of God"

If you would be willing to help me, I would greatly appreciate your time and effort in helping me with this beautiful language.

Níor shábháil Dia mé chun mise a cheansú,
God did not save me to tame me,
éirigh a leoin bhaininn!
arise lioness!

The second one is ambiguous in English. It could mean that she's:
-- a "warrior, [and a] daughter of God", or
-- a "warrior daughter" of God

They could be different in Irish, although there might be a change in meaning making the second one below different from what you want:

Gaiscíoch, iníon Dé
Warrior, [and a] daughter of God

Iníon ghaisciúil Dé
"warrior daughter" of God
In this case, the adjective could be read as meaning "valiant" or "warlike", rather than "warrior-ish"

Thank you! I believe the first, a "warrior, (and a) daughter of God" is what I'm looking for.

Were those two lines taken from anywhere specific, Linked? I'm just curious.

The "God did not save me to tame me..." was from Lisa Bevere's "Lioness Arising". The other is not from anywhere specific.

Please, I'm looking for confirmation for this tattoo translation. Yes, by blood I'm Irish, though I was born in Ireland. My grandfather repeatedly beat my mother in the hopes of causing a miscarriage. God kept me safe. I was given up for adoption and I know He has a plan and purpose for me. My husband and I are traveling to Israel in September where we plan to visit the oldest tattoo shop there is. My plan is to get a tattoo where my Lord walked as well as acknowledging what God did before I was born. I long for it to be in Irish as I
firmly believe that the Irish are strong people, good people.... People I'm related to in the lineage of my blood. Please, if you are able, would you help me with the transition? Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

This bit looks fine, though mé might suffice instead of mise, and Connacht Irish would use le instead of chun.


I believe the vocative of leon baineann is a leoin bhaininn (Can someone please confirm?)


Modelling from dochtúir mná and leanbh iníne "female child", I think "warrior daughter" can be expressed as gaiscíoch iníne.

I propose Gaiscíoch Iníne Dé for ""Warrior Daughter of God"

Await further input ...

It looks fine for me, too
But it is (perhaps) too neutral.
I'd put the relevant part first:

Ní chun mé a cheansú a shábháil Dia mé.

(or: chun mo cheansaithe or le mo cheansú)
