Bhí fear ann uair amhain agus bhí bean chéile an-gruama a bhí
i gcomhnuí ag gearradh aige.
Cad do tharla ach chuaigh siad ar saoire go dtí Iarúsailéim.
Ní rabhadar sa tir sin ró-fhada go bhfuair an bhean bás.
|
There was a man one time and he had a very bad-tempered wife
who was always nagging at him. What happened but they went on holiday
to Jerusalem. They weren't in that land too long when the wife died.

Dubhairt adhlacóir leis, "Tá dhá rogha agat a dhuine uasail .
Is féidir do bhean a shealadh thár nais abhaile go dtí an Chondae
Ciarraí ar 5.000 Euro, no sise a adhlacadh anseo sa Tir Naofa ar
800 Euro. Cad é do rogha rud ?"
|
An undertaker told him, "You have two choices sir. You can send your
wife back home to County Kerry for 5,000 Euros or you can bury her
here in the Holy Land for 800 Euros. What is your choice ?"
|
| Dhéan an fear mactnamh go cheann tamaillín agus ansin dhubhairt se go mba fearr leis an chorp a sheoladh thar nais abhaile agus ba chuma leis an luach. D'fhiafruig an t-adhlacoir de, "In ainm Dé, a bhuachaill, cad na thaobh agus an luach seoladh abhaile níos aoirde, nach cuireann tú sa talamh anseo i ?" |
The man thought for a little while and then he said that he would prefer
to send the corpse back home and that the price didn't matter to him.
The undertaker asked him, "In the name of God, boy, why - and the
price for sending her home so much higher - don't you put her into
the ground here ?"
|
| D'fhreagair an fear,"I bhfad ó shin d'adhlacadh fear sa tir seo agus i gcionn trí laetha d'éirigh sé as arís ! Ba mhaith liomsa féin bheith cinnte nach mbeidh an scéal céanna le h-innsint agam féin !" |
The man answered, "Long ago a man was buried in this land and at
the end of three days he rose again! I just can't take that
chance"
