I wish to say as Gaeilge so it doesn't sound like Irish squeezed into an English framework:

A blessing, a promise, and no condemnation.

Does this work?

Beannacht, gealltanas, agus níl cáineadh ar bith agat.

"cáineadh ort" a déarfainn. You might also restructure the final part as a noun phrase so as to maintain the pattern (as in the English): "agus gan cáineadh ar bith ort".

"An seanchas gearr,
an seanchas is fearr."
