Hi everyone,

I registered on this forum because I'd like to ask your help for the translation of a biblical text I'd like to use for a tattoo of a celtic cross with text on it.

The text I'd like is from the book canticle of canticles and is in most English bibles 'draw me after you, we will run'

I found an Irish Gaelic bible online and the text appears to me to be 'tarraing i do dhiadh mé, rithimis'

But because I'm not sure about this I'd like to ask you if this is correct.

Thank you in advance!!

Looks good to me, the literal meaning is “draw/pull me after you, let us run”.

If you can give me chapter and verse, I can verify it for you.

Yes, it is.

Laoi na laoithe do Sholamh.

Pógadh sé mé de phóga a bhéil
óir is fearr do ghrá ná fíon.
Is maith é cumhracht d'ola,
ola dhoirte d'ainm
a d'fhág na cailíní i ngean leat.
Tarraing i do dhiaidh mé, rithimis.
Tabhair isteach mé a rí, i do theach féin.
Tú ár n‑áthas, tú ár n‑aoibhneas.
Mórfaimid do ghrá thar fhíon.
Is ciallmhar iad an mhuintir a thug grá duit.
