My fire dept. is looking to translate a phase to use on a patch for our color guard the wording is latin we would like it to be Irish. If anyone can give us the wording we would appreciate the help "the brave yield only to the brave" Thank you Chief Zech |

"the brave yield only to the brave" The result is not short John: 1. Ní dual don tréan géilleadh ach dá mhacasamhail (féin). 2. Ní ghéillfidh an tréan ach dá mhacasamhail féin. 3. Dá mhacasamhail féin a ghéillfidh an tréan. Other renderings of 'fear an mhisnigh' / 'foireann an mhisnigh' are a bit too long. Numbers two or three, while moving a little from your Latin equivilent has the best ring for me, giving more of the spirit on your original. See what the others say later. Slán go fóill. |
