  • An mhaidin sin, bhí an ghrian ag taitneamh go geal os cionn na gCloch Mhór.

    That morning, the sun shone brightly above the Great Rocks.

  • Bhí farraige na hAtlantach faoi shíocháin, ag déanamh cúlra foirfe do phicnic mór an teaghlaigh.

    The Atlantic Ocean was calm, creating a perfect backdrop for the family picnic.

  • Bhí muir chanach ag bualadh go bog i gcoinne na gcloch, agus bhí féar glas imíd go minimaideach ar na hailleacha.

    The sea softly lapped against the rocks, and green grass adorned the cliffs gently.

  • Siobhan, Eoin, agus Maeve, trí cinn de na daoine a bhí rannpháirteach sa phicnic, sheas siad in ionad áille an nádúir.

    Siobhan, Eoin, and Maeve, three of the participants in the picnic, stood in this beautiful natural setting.

  • Bhí imní ar Siobhan.

    Siobhan was anxious.

  • Bhí sí tiomanta lena raibh déanta aici san am atá thart a mhíniú agus an teannas le n-a cuid gaolta a mhaolú.

    She was committed to explaining her past actions and easing the tension with her relatives.

  • Bhí a mac aigne lán le smaointe, ach fós bhí toil aici le rudaí a chur ina gceart.

    Her mind was full of thoughts, yet she was determined to make things right.

  • Bhí Eoin, a deartháir, ag stánadh uirthi.

    Eoin, her brother, was staring at her.

  • Bhí sé amhrasach, ach bhí sé ag iarraidh a bheith dóchasach.

    He was suspicious, but he wanted to be hopeful.

  • “B’fhéidir go n-éireoidh leo,” a smaoinigh sé leis féin.

    “Maybe they'll succeed,” he thought to himself.

  • Bhí máthair an teaghlaigh, Maeve, tógtha le fiosracht agus imní.

    The family matriarch, Maeve, was filled with curiosity and concern.

  • “Tá súil agam go mbeidh grian ar an gcaidrimh, mar atá ar an lá,” a dúirt sí, ag breathnú amach ar a clann.

    “I hope the sun shines on our relationships as it does today,” she said, looking out at her family.

  • Nuair a bhailigh an teaghlach timpeall ar an gcanna mór thermos, thóg Siobhan a misneach.

    As the family gathered around the large thermos, Siobhan gathered her courage.

  • “Ba mhaith liom labhairt libh,” a dúirt sí os ard, a guth ag réimeach leis an aigéan.

    “I want to speak with you,” she said loudly, her voice resonating with the ocean.

  • Thosaigh sí na focail leis an gclaí gréine mór ag lonrúil taobh thiar di.

    She began her words with the large sunbeam shining behind her.

  • “Tá aithreachas orm as aon rud a rinne mé a ghoill ar éinne agaibh,” a dúirt sí, a súile lán bród agus tuiscint.

    “I regret any harm I caused to any of you,” she said, her eyes full of pride and understanding.

  • “Tá súil agam go bhfuil sé de chumhacht inár dteaghlach grá a chaomhnú agus a athchóiriú."

    “I hope our family has the strength to preserve and restore love."

  • Chuala an ghaoth a cuid focal, agus chroith Maeve a ceann go mall.

    The wind heard her words, and Maeve nodded slowly.

  • Léim deora ina súile agus ghlac Eoin greim beag ar lámh Shiobhan.

    Tears welled up in her eyes, and Eoin gently took Siobhan's hand.

  • “Tá sé in am arís a bheith mar theaghlach, nach bhfuil sin fíor?” a dúirt sé, dóchas ina ghlór.

    “It's time for us to be a family again, isn't that true?” he said, hope in his voice.

  • De réir a chéile, thosaigh an teannas ag imeacht.

    Gradually, the tension began to fade.

  • Ba chuma le gach duine faoin sean-mheá.

    No one cared about old grievances anymore.

  • Bhí na scamaill ag bogadh, ag fágáil gorm an spéir níos gléine.

    The clouds moved, leaving the sky clearer.

  • Thosaigh daoine ag insint scéalta, ag gáire, agus ag roinnt sneaiceanna.

    People started telling stories, laughing, and sharing snacks.

  • Bhí Meaibh sásta lena radharc: an teaghlach at i gcroílár nua sean-splancacha grá.

    Maeve was pleased with the sight: the family, at the heart of renewed sparkles of love.

  • Níl an ghaoth ach cúlra anois, ag seoladh a gcuid focal isteach san ingne na gcloch foraoiseach.

    The wind was just a backdrop now, sending their words into the crevices of the forested rocks.

  • Agus bhí Siobhan níos suaimhní.

    And Siobhan felt more at peace.

  • Bhí sí ag braith níos saibhre lenár teaghlach anois, lena tuigbháil ar an dtuiscint nua a thaitin le diobh.

    She felt richer with her family now, with a new understanding that delighted them.

  • Thiomáin an ghréin síos, ag fágáil dathanna oráiste agus corcra os cionn na farraige.

    The sun set, leaving orange and purple hues above the ocean.

  • Bhí deireadh áthasach ann.

    It was a happy ending.
