Transcript
Dúirt an t-athair, "Choithigh[1] tusa ariamh mé agus is leat gach ar fiú mé. Ach ba chóir dhúinn a bheith lúcháireach mar gheall ar an deartháir seo leat a bhí le fán (bheith) sa mbaile slán."
Translation
The father said, "you have sustained me always and yours is all my worth. But we should be joyful because this brother of yours who had strayed is home safely."
Commentary

See Peadar Ua Laoghaire, Na cheithre Soisgéil as an dTiomna Nua (Dublin, 1915), 191-2. The speaker was encouraged to adapt the text to his own dialect.
