Ga: Bhí an ghrian ag taitneamh go geal thar an tuath.
En: The sun was shining brightly over the countryside.

Ga: Bhí lá samhraidh ann sa tuath álainn in Éirinn.
En: It was a summer day in the beautiful Irish countryside.

Ga: Bhí an spéir gorm agus ní raibh scamall mar choinneáil ag an spéir riamh.
En: The sky was blue and there wasn’t a cloud to hold the sky back.

Ga: Bhí áit suaimhneach aduaidh, a bhí lán le crainn glasa agus bláthanna fiáine ag bláthú.
En: It was a peaceful northern place, full of green trees and wildflowers blooming.

Ga: Seo mar a d’imigh Niamh, ealaíontóir saor-spioradach as Baile Átha Cliath, ar thóir inspioráide.
En: This is where Niamh, a free-spirited artist from Dublin, went in search of inspiration.

Ga: Bhí sí faoi bhrú mór lena taispeántas mórléargas a bhí ag teacht suas.
En: She was under a lot of pressure with her upcoming major exhibition.

Ga: Ní raibh sí ina haonar, áfach.
En: However, she wasn’t alone.

Ga: Bhí a cara is fearr, Aoife, san áit léi.
En: Her best friend, Aoife, was with her.

Ga: Ealaíontóir é féin é Aoife, ach confidant níos mó sa réimse, í a bhí riamh mar chompánach dílis do Niamh.
En: An accomplished artist herself, Aoife was always a loyal companion to Niamh.

Ga: Agus ansin bhí Cillian, an feirmeoir áitiúil, ag tabhairt beannachtaí dóibh.
En: And then there was Cillian, the local farmer, greeting them.

Ga: Ba dhuine é Cillian a thaitin le haon rud nádúrtha, a raibh grá aige dá thalamh féin.
En: Cillian was a person who enjoyed anything natural and loved his own land.

Ga: Shocraigh siad dul chuig an loch le haghaidh picnic.
En: They decided to go to the lake for a picnic.

Ga: Chuir an t-uisce ag an loch suaimhneas iontu.
En: The water at the lake instilled a sense of peace in them.

Ga: Bhí sé chomh ciúin agus chomh séimh.
En: It was so quiet and so calm.

Ga: D'fhéadfá glór bog éin a chlos ag amharc amach chuige.
En: You could hear the gentle call of birds as you looked out over it.

Ga: Ach bhí Niamh fós neamhchompordach.
En: But Niamh was still uncomfortable.

Ga: D'éist sí go dea-dhóchasach le focail spreagúla Aoife agus Cillian.
En: She listened hopefully to Aoife and Cillian’s encouraging words.

Ga: Ach bhí sí fós gafa ag a cuid leisce agus briathar féin-amhrais.
En: Yet, she remained trapped by her own hesitation and self-doubt.

Ga: "Tá tú in ann, a Niamh!
En: "You can do it, Niamh!"

Ga: " a dúirt Aoife léi, miongháire chruinn ar a aghaidh.
En: said Aoife, a sincere smile on her face.

Ga: "Tá áilleacht sa domhan seo, ní mór duit ach do shúile a oscailt é a fheiceáil.
En: "There is beauty in this world, you just need to open your eyes to see it."

Ga: "Bhí sé an-fhuar a thosaigh sí ag mothú níos ciúine.
En: As the day progressed, she began to feel calmer.

Ga: Bhí an lá grianmhar suaimhneach agus thaitin an tamall le Aoife agus Cillian.
En: The sunny day was peaceful, and she enjoyed the time with Aoife and Cillian.

Ga: Ach ansin, fo bhí deargadh taibhseach sa spéir.
En: But then, there was a stunning redness in the sky.

Ga: Thosaigh scamaill ag scaipeadh go sciobtha.
En: Clouds began to spread quickly.

Ga: Thosaigh báisteach go tobann, ag cur isteach ar an ngrúpa ar an bpicnic.
En: Rain started suddenly, interrupting the group’s picnic.

Ga: Ghabh Cillian triomachán grinn i scioból in aice an locha, ach d'fhan Niamh amach.
En: Cillian sought brief refuge in a nearby barn, but Niamh stayed outside.

Ga: Bhí sí fós greamaithe sa mhóimint bhríomhar, mothaitheach.
En: She was still caught in the vibrant, sensory moment.

Ga: Bhuail na braonta báistí a leathanach bán, cruthanna móra á dhéanamh acu mar a rinne na braonta rince le chéile.
En: The raindrops hit her blank page, creating large shapes as the drops danced together.

Ga: Bhí sí ag breathnú ar phictiúir bhriomhar ag foirmiú faoinábhar, ag tabhairt léargas úríoch di.
En: She watched lively images forming beneath, giving her a fresh perspective.

Ga: Go tobann, tháinig fionnachtain chucu féin aici – ní raibh an méid a gcaithfeadh sí a bheith foirfe i gcónaí.
En: Suddenly, she had a revelation – not everything needed to be perfect.

Ga: Bhí áilleacht sa spontáineacht.
En: There was beauty in spontaneity.

Ga: Bhí a cuid inspioráide aimsithe aici.
En: She had found her inspiration.

Ga: Nuair a stop an bháisteach deireanach, d’amhairc Niamh ar a cuid oibre nua le aoibh an tsásamh.
En: When the last rain stopped, Niamh looked at her new work with a satisfied smile.

Ga: Shocraigh sí gur ghabh sí an rud is tábhachtaí - níor cliseadh dóchas riamh.
En: She decided she had captured the most important thing - hope was never lost.

Ga: Bhí sí thar a bheith réidh dul ar aghaidh le muinín dá taispeántas, mar a chuirfeadh sí suas giota den suíomh síoraí seo a mbraitheann na crainn ghaoitheacha, an bláth i ngaol a gcineál nádúrtha féin.
En: She was more than ready to move forward with confidence in her exhibition, as she would capture a piece of this eternal setting filled with billowing trees and flowers discovering their natural kin.

Ga: Bhí Niamh tiomanta a cuid aisteach de chúis agus mheas Aoife agus Cillian gur rud iontach a bhí aici.
En: Niamh was committed to her newfound purpose, and Aoife and Cillian believed what she had was extraordinary.

Ga: Bhí radharc úr a bhí aici anois ar a saothar.
En: She now had a fresh perspective on her work.

Ga: "Tá sé go hálainn, Niamh," a d'aibhsigh Cillian go mór le clúimh.
En: "It’s beautiful, Niamh," Cillian remarked, full of admiration.

Ga: Bhí Niamh athbheathaigh, cinnte ina cáilíochtaí féin anois.
En: Niamh was rejuvenated, now confident in her own abilities.

Ga: Agus sin mar a mhothaigh idir Niamh agus an tír seo, áit a raibh sí crochta isteach san áilleacht a bhí i ngach rud timpeall uirthi.
En: And that’s how Niamh felt connected to this land, where she was enveloped in the beauty all around her.

Ga: Má bhí an chúis sin go hiontach do Niamh, b'fhéidir go cóir dúinn cad é féin a aimsiú in áilleacht an tsaoil.
En: If that was wonderful for Niamh, perhaps we ought to find what lies in the beauty of life ourselves.
