Tha mo dheagh charaidean Iseabail is Pòl a’ pòsadh Dihaoine sa tighinn. Bidh an t-seirbheis–pòsaidh ann an cathair–eaglais Naoimh Anndra.
My good friends Iseabail and Pòl are getting married this Friday. The wedding service will be in St Andrew’s Cathedral.
Bidh sin laghach. Dè an creideamh a th’ aice?
That will be nice. What’s her religion?
‘S e Pròstanach a th’ innte.
She is Protestant.
Agus an e Pròstanach a th’ ann am Pòl cuideachd?
And is Pòl Protestant as well?
Chan e. ‘S e Caitligeach a th’ ann. Dè tha thusa a’ creidsinn? Dè an creideamh a th’ agad?
No [he isn’t]. He is (Roman) Catholic. What do you believe? What is your faith?
‘S e eas–creidmheach a th’ annam, ged a thogadh mi anns a’ chreideamh Chrìosdaidh. Dè an creideamh a th’ agad?
I am an atheist, even though I was brought up in the Christian faith. What religion are you?
‘S e Daonnaire a th’ annam. Bha mi a’ cnuasachadh airson ùine mhòr mu dheidhinn. An deach thu a–riamh gu seirbheis Dhaonnaireach?
I am a Humanist. I pondered over/considered it for a long time. Have you ever been to a Humanist service?
Chaidh mi gu seirbheis tìodhlacaidh Dhaonnaireach turas—an tìodhlacadh aig bràthair mo mhàthar.
I went to a Humanist funeral service once—the funeral of my uncle [mother's brother].
Cò ris a bha i coltach?
What was it like?
Bha i inntinneach. Agus tha mi air a bhith aig pòsaidhean Muslamach is Hionduthach iomadh turas, agus tha mi air na mìltean a chosg a' dol thuca air feadh an t–saoghail.
It was interesting. And I have been to Muslim and Hindu weddings many times, and I have spent thousands ([of pounds] going to them all over the world.
Na mìltean? Tha sin glè inntinneach ...
Thousands [of pounds]? That's very interesting ...
Nach eil thu gam chreidsinn?
Don't you believe me?
O, tha mi gad chreidsinn leis gu bheil mi a' faicinn nan dealbhan snog a th' agad air a' bhalla bho na bainnsean sin thall 's a bhos.
Oh, I do believe you because I can see [am seeing] the lovely pictures/photographs you have on your wall from the weddings here and there.
