Hi

hope all is well

im a screenwriter and need a passage translated.

It's a tragic epic set in the world of irish mythology. If anyone would be willing, would be greatly appreciated. just the dialogue.

GOIBNIU
Who are you?
FAOLAN
I am Faolan.
Goibniu smiles knowingly
GOIBNIU
What do you want?
FAOLAN
I need the heart of Fomora.
GOIBNIU
Only the chosen can wield Claíomh Solais.
FAOLAN
Who are the chosen?
Goibniu’s smile widens a fraction. His eyes flicker to Conlaed and then back to Faolan
GOIBNIU
Blindness is a blessing.
FAOLAN
I don’t need riddles. I need the stone.
GOIBNIU
It’s not a riddle. Being chosen is a burden.
Faolan withdraws his sword
GOIBNIU
Your weapons have no effect on me, I am beyond death and you cannot get into the tomb without my permission.

GOIBNIU
Cé thusa?
FAOLAN
Is mise Faolán.
Déanann Goibniu meangadh gáire go heolach.
GOIBNIU
Cad tá uait?
FAOLAN
Teastaíonn croí Fhomora uaim.
GOIBNIU
Ní fhéadann ach na fíréin Claíomh Solais a láimhsiú.
FAOLAN
Cé hiad na fíréin?
Tá miongháire Ghoibniu ag leathnú beagán.
A shúile atá ag preabadh go Conlead agus ansin ar ais go Faolán.
(Goibniu sounds like a woman’s name in Old Irish because of the iu ending and it might prob. be rel. to Modern Irish Gobnait. In this case: a súile = her eyes)
GOIBNIU
Is beannacht í an daille.
FAOLAN
Ní theastaíonn tomhaiseanna uaim. Teastaíonn an chloch uaim.
GOIBNIU
Ní tomhais é. Is ualach bheith ina fhíréan.
Tarraingíonn F. a chlaíomh (siar).
Draws or withdraws? In first case without siar.
tarraingíonn ... - Such stage directions permit simple present tense, I'd suppose.
It is a kind of a historical present.
(if not: Tá Faolán ag tarraingt a chlaímh (siar). claímh - gen. of claíomh, the o is missing on purpose.)
The same applies to déanann above.
GOIBNIU
Níl aon éifeacht ag d’airmse orm, táim thar an mbás agus ní féidir leat dul isteach sa tuama gan mo chead.

Please, wait for confirmations.
