Would greatly appreciated any help in translating the following to Gaelic. Looking for a tattoo to wrap either uper arm or calf.

Thanks for any help.

They should be in a masculine tense as I am male and are referring to my wife and children

Translation Request #1:
"The strength of a man is not in the width of his shoulders, but in the depth of love for/from his family"

Translation Request #2:
"A man's strength is granted/rooted by/in his family"

Translation #3:
"Sacrifice for the sake of family is no sacrifice at all"

"The strength of a man is not in the width of his shoulders, but in the depth of love for his family"
Ní thomhaistear neart fir le fairsinge a chuid guaillí, ach trí doimhneacht a chuid grá dá chlann.

Wait for confirmation

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. How do you get confit stops?? Just wait and see I guess??

Bumping for confirmation for OP.

Thus one was a bit hard for me, so I didn't confirm.

When I went to attempt a translation, I thought of neart fir "strength of a man", then I thought it sounded like "lots of men", but I suppose it would be clear to a native speaker, would it Bríd?.

I also thought it needed to be trí dhoimhneacht, but the longer phrase probably nullifies that rule.

So you see I am not up to confirming it for you, but hopefully stronger speakers will be along shortly to help you.

trí dhoimhneacht -yes
láidreacht instead of neart maybe.
