hello everyone i am knew to this and hopeing you can help me. i am looking to get 2 new tats and would like both these phrases translated. i am not sure of dialect as i am still learning and not really sure of the diffrence please forgive my ignorance. if it at all helps my heritage comes from the o'fallon blood line.
here are the phrases i would like .. "may god's will provide me strength" and " the spirit of the bear lies within" any help would be greatly appreciated. hope to hear back from y'all soon and thank you in advance.

For the first, "may god's will provide me strength", I am not sure God's "will" does things. Everything God does is his will, so Irish would probably just opt for Dia "God" in this case. (Humans, on the other hand, can only hope that they are doing "God's will" and not their own, and can pray for guidance from God therein, if you see what I mean.)

There is a set expression nár lagaí Dia thú often translated "more power to you" but literally meaning "may God not weaken you". That could be changed to:

Nár lagaí Dia mé "May God not weaken me."


Or alternatively, more literally:

Go gcuirtear neart orm le thoil Dé "May I be given strength for God's will"

or simply:

Go gcuire Dia neart orm "May God put strength on me"


For the second, perhaps:

Tá spiorad an bhéir i bhfolach laistigh. literally "The spirit of the bear lies (hidden) within."

But I can't help but feel that spiorad is more like a ghost. You might like to substitute misneach "bravery" instead:

Tá misneach an bhéir i bhfolach laistigh. "The (spirit of) bravery of the bear lies (hidden) within."

Await correction or confirmation ...
