Tá an oíche gheimhridh fuar agus tá na réaltaí lonrach sa spéir.

The winter night is cold, and the stars are bright in the sky.

Tá páirc sneachta ar an talamh agus tá an ghaoth bhog ag séideadh thíos an tsráid.

There's a field of snow on the ground, and the gentle wind is blowing down the street.

Sa chaifé beag in Iarthar Chiarraí, tá an saol ag casadh go mall.

In the small café in Iarthar Chiarraí, life is turning slowly.

Tá teach tábhairne beag cois bóthair, an "Scéal Grá.

There's a small roadside pub, the "Scéal Grá."

" Tá na soilse sióg geal ina lonrú, agus an tine mhór ag briseadh go cluthar sa teallach.

The fairy lights are shining brightly, and the big fire is crackling cozily in the fireplace.

Tá na caochaí maisithe le féirín Nollag agus táirgeas seachtair ag cur lena chéile.

The nooks are decorated with Christmas ornaments and seven people are gathering around.

Eamon, Sinead, agus Ciaran, cairde óna laethanta scoile, ag teacht le chéile ann.

Eamon, Sinead, and Ciaran, friends from their school days, are coming together there.

Bhí sraith na mbliana a chaith siad óna chéile.

It was a series of years they spent together.

Tá Eamon ciúin agus imníoch, coimeádann sé a rún taobh istigh.

Eamon is quiet and anxious, keeping his secret inside.

Tá sé buartha, ach tá fonn air rudaí a roinnt lena chairde.

He is worried but eager to share things with his friends.

Feiceann sé ar na mballaí, eiríonn brónach i gcuimhne na seanchuimhní cinn.

He looks at the walls, becoming sad with memories of the old days.

Tá Sinead lán áitíola agus subháilte.

Sinead is full of enthusiasm and cheerfulness.

Tá sí lán de spiorad na Nollag.

She is full of the Christmas spirit.

Téann sí faoi chorraí ag fáil chaoi ar choinneáil leis na comhchairde arís.

She gets excited at the chance of reconnecting with old friends.

Ciaran, áfach, tá sé ábhairneíoch.

Ciaran, however, is indifferent.

Tá mearbhall air faoi imithe Eamon.

He is puzzled about Eamon's disappearance.

Ach tá sé cúramach agus ní n'asaim go domhain gan bheith rócheistitheach.

But he is cautious and doesn’t delve too deeply without being too inquisitive.

Nuair a scaoileann an ceol i dtólamh, tosaíonn na cairde ag caint.

When the music finally plays, the friends start talking.

Labhraíonn Sinead faoi na laethanta saoire agus cuimhní spéisiúla.

Sinead speaks about the holidays and interesting memories.

Tá lánmhaith ag an oíche mar níl duine ar bith ag iarraidh an aisling a bhriseadh.

The night is full of warmth as no one wants to break the dream.

Ach, is ag Eamon a bhíonn an cian.

But it is Eamon who feels the yearning.

Bhraitheann sé an cineál cluthairéis sa tábhairne.

He experiences a warm comfort in the pub.

Caillfidh sé na háirte an lá údaigh sin.

He loses track of time on that memorable day.

Cuireann Sinead ceist air go síochánaíoch, "Cad is cúis leis an imní, a Eamon?

Sinead gently asks, "What’s the cause of your worry, Eamon?

Táimid anseo, réidh a chloisteáil.

We’re here, ready to listen."

"Breathnaíonn Eamon ar Ciaran, aird air go foighneach.

Eamon looks at Ciaran, attentive to him patiently.

Sosann sé.

He pauses.

Ansin, sé ag tarraingt anáil mhóra a chinneadh scaoileadh.

Then, he takes a big breath, deciding to release.

"Bhí orm a imeacht," a deir sé, a ghlór soscánra.

"I had to leave," he says, his voice soft.

"Bhí deacrachtaí mo theaghlaigh.

"I had family difficulties.

Bhí fadhbanna airgid mór in ann.

There were major financial problems."

"D'fhéach Sinead agus Ciaran air go socair, ag tuiscint.

Sinead and Ciaran look at him calmly, understanding.

Níl breithiúnas sa gcomhairle.

There is no judgment in their advice.

"Duine agus duais i d'toil," deir Ciaran ag meangadh biorra.

"Everyone has their challenges," says Ciaran with a gentle smile.

"Ní thugaimid suas lena chéile.

"We don’t give up on each other."

"Agus ansin, léiríonn Eamon a faoiseamh.

And then, Eamon shows his relief.

Rinne an t-iontaoibh léir go mór ar a chroí.

The trust shown is a great comfort to him.

Tuigeann sé focail chothaíochta a chairde.

He understands the supportive words of his friends.

"Creidimid ionat," a deir Sinead le súil dhílis.

"We believe in you," says Sinead with sincere eyes.

"Is cuma más rud é atá imigh ort.

"No matter what you've been through."

"Agus mar sin, déanann siad sláinte ar an Nollaig agus ar thógaintí nua.

And so, they toast to Nollaig (Christmas) and new beginnings.

I measc na bhfocal scéimhe tá grá agus tacaíocht nach ngearrtar le dul i saol an duine.

Among the beautiful words, there is love and support that aren't cut by life's challenges.

Tugann Eamon cuireadh ar a gcairdeacht, biorra roinn ar a chroí.

Eamon cherishes their friendship, warming his heart.

Tuigeann sé go bhfuil an cairdeas ní ar eitilt.

He realizes that friendship doesn't just fly away.

Phléann sé go daingean an áit ar chroílár an domhain.

He firmly believes that it's a central part of the world.

Is ansin a thugann siad slán saibhir don chistin, déanta suas le scéalta eile.

It is then that they bid a rich farewell to the kitchen, filled with other stories.

Cúis de Cupán Tae i rith na tráthnóna fuar atá an clúdach, róthuirse ag fanacht isteach an oíche ghrianmhar.

The reason for a cup of tea during the cold evening is the cozy comfort, waiting to envelop the sunny night.
