How to Say:
“” in the Irish language
Translation in Irish Language
Is seanfhéile Éireannach í Samhain, atá á ceiliúradh le dhá mhíle bliain. Níl a lán eolais againn ar na creidimh agus nósanna a bhí in Éirinn roimh theacht na Críostaíochta, ach is léir ó na scéalta a scríobh na manaigh síos agus ó na nósanna a tháinig slán go dtí an lá atá inniu ann, go raibh an-tábhacht bainte le Samhain, chomh maith leis na féile móra eile Imbolc, Bealtaine agus Lúnasa. Fiú sa lá atá inniu ann, deir Éireannaigh go dtosaíonn na séasúir ag na féilte seo, beag beann ar an aimsir. Am réalteolaíoch atá i gceist – bunaithe ar shuíomh na gréine sa spéir. Creideann saineolaithe go raibh an bhliain ina dhá leath – an leath geal agus an leath dorcha. Tharla Samhain ag deireadh an tsamhraidh, ag deireadh an fhómhair, agus ag tús leath dorcha na bliana. Bhí muintir na hÉireann ag súil le sé mhí de dhorchadas agus drochaimsir, agus bhí féile na Samhna ann chun iad a ullmhú don séasúr nua. Nós amháin a mhair ó na seanlaethanta ná tairngreacht a dhéanamh ag Oíche Shamhna. Tá sampla den traidisiún seo le feiceáil sa ghearrscéal Clay le James Joyce. Sa chluiche seo, caithfidh duine rud a roghnú dall. Má roghnaíonn siad fáinne, pósfaidh siad sa bhliain atá le teacht. Má roghnaíonn siad bonn, gheobhaidh siad a lán airgid. Má roghnaíonn siad píosa éadaigh (nó cré i scéal Joyce), gheobhaidh siad bás. Bealach eile chun an cluiche seo a imirt ná na rudaí seo a bhácáil i mbairín breac, cáca traidisiúnta lán le torthaí ag an am seo den bhliain. Is féidir bairín breac a cheannach sna siopaí anois, agus bíonn fáinne le fáil ann. Tá sé sárbhlasta smeartha le him chomh maith le cupán deas tae.
