I like this version because the ocean is awesome.

Psalm 107:23-24 (Douay Rheims)
They that go down to the sea in ships,
doing business in the great waters:
These have seen the works of the Lord,
and his wonders in the deep.

Psalm 107:23-24 (ABN)
Sheol cuid acu an mhuir i loingeas;
a thrádáil ar an aigéan imleathan,
mar a bhfaca siad oibreacha an Tiarna,
agus na héachtaí a dhéanann sé san fharraige


Is there a difference between muir, aigéan and farraige?

Regarding "aigéan imleathan". What does the prefix "im" do here? I know leathan means wide; does the prefix intensify it or something? Is this a general rule or a special case only to be applied to the word leathan?

Can somebody explain "Sheol cuid acu an mhuir i loingeas:" to me? There must be some idiom I'm not aware of for "cuid acu".

What does héachtaí mean? Most of the possible roots I'm getting from https://www.teanglann.ie/ give it a quite violent connotation, (which I suppose goes well with the next couple of verses) but seems a bit removed from "wonders". What are some other possible Irish words I could use here?

Warning: I might make a similar post, except with the passage translated from the Bedell Bible.

Shalom and thanks a ton! You guys are the best and are* greatly enhancing my Irish learning experience!

The same way as there's a difference between "sea", "ocean", and "the deep". Farraige and muir generally relate to seas and aigéan or farraige mhór to the ocean.



Yes, im- is an intensive particle with a meaning like "great" or "very".



It means something like "some of them" or "a portion/share of them".



It's the plural form of éacht, which can mean "killing" or "slaying", but has the secondary meaning "exploit" or "achievement". I woulldn't use any other Irish word here, this is perfectly suited to the context and is clearly not violent within that context.



You should just add that to this thread, if it's about the exact same passage.

More questions on the same passage, this time from PUL's Cork Irish translation:

Psalm 107:23-24 via PUL:

23 An mhuíntir a théann síos ar farraige i loingeas,
ag déanamh gnótha i móruisceachaibh,
24 do chonacadar san oibreacha an Tiarna
agus a mhíorúiltí sa doimhneacht.

What does móruisceachaibh mean? How should I pronounce this?

I have not seen this conjugation/form of to see: "do chonacadar"
Probably a conditional form. The second "c" is throwing me off a bit, is this something unique to Cork Irish?

Infact, is anyone willing to read this for me so I can get the pronunciation correct?

The ocean is awesome!! I love this verse haha.

PEACE OUT AND THANK YOU ALL!!! (English lacks 2nd person plural WTF!!! Why do we make fun of the south for saying Y'all?)

Móruisceaċaiḃ = mór- + uisceaċaiḃ (dative plural of uisce, i.e. uisceaċa [uiscí in the standard] + dative plural suffix -(a)iḃ

do ċonacadar is the past tense third person plural form of the verb ċím (feicim in the standard), i.e. they saw. In other parts of Ireland, outside of Munster, the subject pronoun and the verb are often kept apart (i.e. analytic), but in Munster, they are conjugated together, especially in Peadar Ua Laoghaire's Irish. So, outside of Munster, you will often find ċonaic siad, but (do) ċona(i)c(e)adar in Munster.
