I am taking a break for a couple of weeks and I will be back then.
Táim ag tóg sos ar feadh cúpla seactain agus beidh mé ar ais ansin.

Three preparations of a bad man's house - strife before you, complaining to you, his hound taking hold of you.

Three rejoicings that are worse than sorrow - the joy of a man who has defrauded another, the joy of a man who has perjured himself, the joy of a man who has committed parricide.

Three rejoicings followed by sorrow - a wooer’s, a thief’s, a tale-bearer’s.

The three worst welcomes - a handicraft in the same house with the inmates, scalding water upon the feet, salt food without a drink.

Céin·mair ’na luing indḟota
oca·mbíat a lennata
oc imram ard allata
íar n-ingnais a mennata.

“Blessed in his long-prowed boat
he who has with him his sweethearts,
rowing proud and glorious
after losing his homely place.”

Three free ones that make slaves of themselves - a lord who sells his land, a queen who goes to a boor, a poet’s son who abandons his father's craft.

Three wonders concerning the Táin Bó Cuailnge - that the cuilmen came to Ireland in its stead, the dead relating it to the living, viz. Fergus mac Róig reciting it to Ninníne the poet in the time of Cormac mac Fáeláin, one year's protection to him to whom it is recited.
