Hello! Could someone please help me translate this sentence from english to irish from connach? The sentence is this one:

'he had Manannan's horse, the Aonbharr, of the One Mane, under him, that was as swift as the naked cold wind of spring, and the sea was the same as dry land to her, and the rider was never killed off her back.'

I know is quite long, but I don't trust Google translate. I just wanted to make sure that it is the most accurate possible.

Thank you very much for your atention,
Best regards.

Capall Mhanannáin, Aonbharr Mane a bhí faoina bhun aige, capall a bhí chomh tapúil le gaoth fuar (lom) nocht(aithe) an earraigh, agus do bhí an mhuir/fharraige mar a bheadh an talamh tirim aici, agus níor maraíodh an marcach riamh agus é/í (depending on if the rider is male or female) á (h)iompar ar a droim aici.

Wait for three to confirm before using. Other members might have other suggestions.

Hello.

Thank you very much. I will wait.

Thank you once again.

Hi and welcome! That’s a beautifully poetic sentence — and you’re right to avoid Google Translate for something like this. It deserves a proper rendering in Connacht Irish. I’m not a native speaker, but I’ve studied some dialect forms and here’s my humble attempt. Hopefully one of the fluent members can refine it:

“Bhí capall Mhanannáin, an tAonbharr, leis an Aon-Bhánfholt faoi, chomh sciobtha leis an ngaoth lom fhuar san earrach, agus ba ionann an fharraige agus an tír thirim di, agus ní maraíodh an marcach riamh di.”

Please feel free to correct or improve — just hoping this helps as a starting point!
