Have been trying to find a missal or prayerbook in Gaelic, either Gaelic/Latin or Gaelic/English. Gaelic/Latin would work fine as I still remember my Latin from Choir 50 or so years back. I'm on the "colony" side of the pond, but willing to have it shipped from your side.

I am not aware that there are any bilingual prayerbooks.
A missal is "Leabhar Aifrinn"

Cupla Focail have several religious books

Hello there this is my first time on any of these types of sights, and I am wanting to learn more into my Irish heritage. For years now I have wanted to get some sort of tattoo that was written in Gaelic but I don't know of many passages from the Bible that are of some value. If there is anything anyone knows that is a passage from the Bible and is able to translate I would be happy to chat. Thanks a bunch.

Hi Ireland,

Pick out some quotes that appeal to you and we can supply the Irish version.

Hey Antóin,
Thanks for your help, I just have to look through the Bible and I will get back to you for the quotes. There is also somthing else I would like translated. It's my last name, Maclean, it is a Scottish name for my father is Scottish but if i can find it's translation in Irish I can combined the two and have both heritage's in one.
Thanks again
Ireland

Mac Lean = Mac Gille Eoin (son of the servant of St. John.)

That's Scottish Gaelic, it's probably the same in Irish.

A Ireland, a chara,

Here's what I found in The Surnames of Ireland by Edward MacLysaght:

MacClean, -Lean -- Mac Giolla Eáin (Eán, an old form of Eoin or Seán). A gallowglass family of Scottish origin, numerous in Antrim and Derry.

Hope this helps.

Is mise, le meas, Paul
