Hey All

I need this translated please:

I could order you killed...I should. However, I am willing to forgive your insolence this once. Be thankful that you're my grandson because this is a pass I wouldn't grant otherwise.

Even if the translation isn't exact, I need something as close as possible...if possible. Even if it all can't be translated right, at least some of it? Also, can you tell me exactly what the translation is if you're able to translate it. Thank you so much.

(How do you say thank you? I keep forgetting.)

Here's a very rough start (corrections welcome):

D'fhéadfainn ordú a thabhairt do do bhású ... ba chóir dom é. Ach tá mé sásta gan do shotal a thógáil ort an uair seo. Bí buíoch gur tú mo ghearrmhac mar is cead é seo nach dtugann i gcás eile.

As always, await correction or confirmation ...

I think the biblical "daoradh" would be better.

D'fhéadfainn thú dhaoradh chun báis.

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.

Thanks, a Bhríd. Another new word learned.

Awaiting further input ...

nach dtugann? nach dtugfainn? maybe?

So it should be.

Nice catch, my bad

Thanks to everyone for leaving something that I can answer! 'Go raibh maith agat' = 'thank you' to one person; 'Go raibh maith agaibh' = 'thank you' to more than one person. Or in smiley land
