'Tabhair meas, faigh meas' doesn't really do it for me. Suggestions le do thoil?

Couldn't you use the verbs taispéain or léirigh - to show respect - rather than to give respect?

How about:

Bíonn urraim ag an saol do dhuine urramúil.

EDIT: Changed to be a bit closer to the English.

Thanks for the replies. It is a GAA slogan. Someone I know is trying to throw the cúpla focal into a newsletter for a children's camogie team and thought it would be nice to translate this. It probably needs to sound 'slogany' in the Irish version too for it to be recognisable. I know that's not always possible. :??:

Here's another possibility: 'Bíodh meas agat agus beidh meas ort' - 'meas agat, meas ort'

It sounds good for a slogan.

It is recommended that you always wait for three to agree on a translation.
I speak Connemara Irish, and my input will often reflect that.
I will do an mp3 file on request for short translations.
