Bha mi ag innse dhuibh an t-seachdain sa chaidh mun bheachd a bh鈥� aig na seann Gh脿idheil聽air gobhair. 鈥橲 e sin gum biodh gobhair a鈥� marbhadh is ag ithe nathraichean. Uill, tha e聽inntinneach cho tric 鈥檚 a nochdas gobhair ann an seanfhaclan G脿idhlig. Seo fear agaibh: An聽n矛 a ch霉m an eidheann o na gobhair. The thing that kept the ivy from the goats. An n矛 a聽ch霉m an eidheann o na gobhair. Saoil d猫 tha sin a鈥� ciallachadh?

Uill tha e a-mach air creag no balla a tha air leth 脿rd no c脿s. Gu dearbh, tha e cho 脿rd no c脿s 鈥檚 nach urrainn gobhar a shreap airson gr猫im a ghabhail air an eidheann a tha a鈥� f脿s聽ann. A r猫ir choltais, tha gobhair gu math d猫idheil air eidheann. Tha seanfhacal eile ann a tha聽a-mach air sin: 鈥橲 e galar a bheireadh air na gobhair nach itheadh iad an eidheann.聽Sickness [alone] would keep goats from eating ivy. 鈥橲 e galar a bheireadh air na gobhair聽nach itheadh iad an eidheann.

Saoilidh mi gum biodh a鈥� chiad sheanfhacal gl猫 fheumail ann a bhith a鈥� bruidhinn air daoine. Chuala mi mu dheidhinn fear as t-samhradh a bha a鈥� feuchainn ri sgur a smocadh.聽Ghlais e e fh猫in air eilean beag anns na h-Eileanan a-Muigh. Bha an t-eilean gun sluagh is聽gun bh霉th 鈥� is, gu dearbh, gun tombaca. An canamaid gur e an aonranachd a bh鈥� aige an n矛 a聽chumadh an eidheann o na gobhair?

Tha grunn seanfhaclan againn air cho math 鈥檚 a tha bainne nan gobhar do shl脿inte dhaoine 鈥� agus eadhon do bh貌idhchead dhaoine. Seo fear: Dail chuach am bainne ghobhar, suath ri d鈥� aghaidh, 鈥檚 chan eil mac r矛gh air an domhan nach bi nad dh猫idh. With violets and goats鈥� milk anoint your face, and every king鈥檚 son in the world will be after聽you.聽

Dail chuach am bainne ghobhar, suath ri d鈥� aghaidh, 's chan eil mac r矛gh air an domhan聽nach bi nad dh猫idh. Faodaidh na boireannaich anns an 猫isteachd innse dhomh a bheil sin ag聽obair!

Agus 鈥檚 d貌cha gun cuala sibh moladh nan G脿idheal air an neart a thig 脿 bainneghobhar: Bainne nan gobhar fo chobhar 鈥檚 e bl脿th, 鈥檚 e chuireadh an spionnadh sna daoine a bha. Tis the milk of the goat foaming and warm that gave the strength to the past聽generations of people. Bainne nan gobhar fo chobhar 鈥檚 e bl脿th, 鈥檚 e chuireadh an spionnadh聽sna daoine a bha.

Agus seo an t-脿m ce脿rr dhen bhliadhna, ach cuimhnichibh am fear seo nuair a thig an C猫itean. Is leigheas air gach tinneas creamh is 矛m a鈥� Mh脿igh; 貌l am fochair siud bainneghobhar b脿n. To heal all disease, take garlic and May butter; drink along with that whitegoat鈥檚 milk. Is leigheas air gach tinneas creamh is 矛m a鈥� Mh脿igh; 貌l am fochair siud bainne聽ghobhar b脿n. Bha na seann daoine dhen bheachd gun robh bainne ghobhar math dhut.

Ach, airson cr矛och a chur air an Litir seo, 鈥檚 d貌cha gum bu ch貌ir dhomh abairt a thoirt dhuibh a tha buntainn ris a鈥� gheamhradh seach toiseach an t-samhraidh. Seo abairt a聽bhios feumail 鈥檚 d貌cha nuair a thig s矛de stoirmeil a鈥� gheamhraidh. Sheideadh e na h-adharcan聽de ghobhar. It would blow the horns off a goat. Sheideadh e na h-adharcan de聽ghobhar. Tha mi an d貌chas nach s猫id i mar sin airson greis fhathast!

gobhar, gobhair: goat, goats; tombaca: tobacco.

gum biodh gobhair a鈥� marbhadh is ag ithe nathraichean: that goats would kill and eat snakes; creag no balla a tha air leth 脿rd no c脿s: a rock or wall that is tremendously high or steep; 鈥檚 nach urrainn gobhar a shreap airson gr猫im a ghabhail air an聽eidheann a tha a鈥� f脿s ann: that a goat cannot climb it to take a bit of the ivy that growsthere; gu math d猫idheil air: very keen on; chuala mi mu dheidhinn fear as t-samhradh: I heard about a man in the summer; a bha a鈥� feuchainn ri sgur a smocadh: who was trying to聽stop smoking; ghlais e e fh猫in air eilean beag anns na h-Eileanan a-Muigh: he placed himself without outside assistance on a small island in the Outer Isles; gun sluagh is gun聽bh霉th: without a population and without a shop; an canamaid gur e an aonranachd a bh鈥櫬燼ige an n矛 a chumadh an eidheann o na gobhair?: might we say that it his isolation is the聽thing that would keep the ivy from the goats?; na boireannaich anns an 猫isteachd: thewomen in the listening audience; mar a thigeadh o bh貌 ruadh: as would come from a redcow; a tha buntainn ris a鈥� gheamhradh: which concerns the winter; seach toiseach an tsamhraidh:聽rather than the start of the summer; s矛de stoirmeil: stormy weather.

An n矛 a ch霉m an eidheann o na gobhair. The聽thing that kept the ivy from the goats; 鈥橲 e galar a bheireadh air na gobhair nach itheadh聽iad an eidheann. Sickness [alone] would keep goats from eating ivy; Dail chuach am聽bainne ghobhar, suath ri d鈥� aghaidh, 鈥檚 chan eil mac r矛gh air an domhan nach bi nad聽dh猫idh. With violets and goats鈥� milk anoint your face, and every king鈥檚 son in the world聽will be after you; Bainne nan gobhar fo chobhar 鈥檚 e bl脿th, 鈥檚 e chuireadh an spionnadh聽sna daoine a bha. Tis the milk of the goat foaming and warm that gave the strength to the聽past generations of people; Is leigheas air gach tinneas creamh is 矛m a鈥� Mh脿igh; 貌l am聽fochair siud bainne ghobhar b脿n. To heal all disease, take garlic and May butter; drink聽along with that white goats鈥� milk; Sheideadh e na h-adharcan de ghobhar. It would blow聽the horns off a goat.
