Bhí gliondar mór sa ghleann ceomhar de Ghleann Dá Loch, áit a raibh na síoraí cnoic ag breathnú anuas orthu.
There was great delight in the misty valley of Gleann Dá Loch, where the eternal hills were gazing down upon them.
Bhí duilleoga donn is órga cuma orthu agus iad ag clúdach talamh na sean-monastóireachta.
The leaves had a brown and golden appearance as they covered the ground of the old monastery.
Bhí Siobhán, seandálaí óg agus díograiseach, ag obair go dian fá choinne fionnachtana tábhachtaigh.
Siobhán, a young and enthusiastic archaeologist, was working hard for significant discoveries.
Bhí sí tar éis labhairt le Cian, ceannaire na foirne, faoi rudaí nua a thriail, ach ní raibh sé sásta.
She had spoken to Cian, the team leader, about trying new things, but he was not happy.
"Tá an modh seo ró-pháistí," a dúirt Cian, dóchas as a modhanna féin amháin.
"This method is too childish," Cian said, confident only in his own methods.
Ní raibh Siobhán sásta.
Siobhán was not satisfied.
Bhí foláireamh aimsire go dona freisin, gaothach agus fliuch ag bagairt cur isteach ar an obair.
There was also a bad weather warning, windy and wet, threatening to disrupt the work.
Rinne sí cinneadh fiontar a ghlacadh.
She decided to take a chance.
"Tá áit ann nár chuir éinne lámh uirthi fós," a cheap sí léi féin.
"There's a place no one has touched yet," she thought to herself.
Thug sí cuireadh d'Eoghan, a cara agus mac léinn bitheolaíochta, a bheith mar fhinné.
She invited Eoghan, her friend and a biology student, to be a witness.
D'fhéach siad le chéile ar an áit chiúin, beagán ar shiúl ó lár na seandálaíochta.
Together they looked at the quiet spot, a bit away from the center of the archaeology site.
Chonaic Siobhán rian éadomhain tithe faoin talamh.
Siobhán saw the shallow traces of houses beneath the ground.
An nóiméad ba chúiseach lena saol ag teacht chuici.
The moment that would be pivotal in her life was coming to her.
Chuir Siobhán lámh isteach leis an spadóir.
Siobhán put her hand in with the trowel.
Chuir sí néad as na clóis veilbhit duilleog.
She unearthed a nest from the velvet-leaved enclosures.
Ansin, an fionnachtain.
Then, the discovery.
Seomra inathobtha lena rianchaithreachais ársa, soithigh lómhara, agus greantaí nár aithníodh riamh.
A collapsible room with its ancient artifacts, precious vessels, and engravings never before recognized.
D'fhiafraigh Eoghan go híseal, "An mbeidh orainn Cian a phiocadh suas?
Eoghan asked quietly, "Will we have to pick up Cian?"
" Thug Siobhán grinnscrúdú air le gáire i suile.
Siobhán gave him a scrutinizing look with a smile in her eyes.
"Beidh sé in am, Eoghan.
"In time, Eoghan."
"Bhí Cian i mbun baicsigh i dtreo an liúntasach nuair a thaispeáin Siobhán an seomra dó.
Cian was busy with documents when Siobhán showed him the room.
Bhí a shúile ar leathadh, a n-iontas faoina fhriotal.
His eyes widened, wonder in his expression.
Ó shin amach, d’amharc sé uirthi le meas nua.
From then on, he looked at her with new respect.
Faoi dheireadh, d’athraigh céille idir Siobhán agus Cian.
Eventually, an understanding developed between Siobhán and Cian.
Tugadh aitheantas dá fionnachtain agus da chumas oibre tábhachtach.
Recognition was given to her discovery and her significant work abilities.
Léiríodh rathúlacht i gcomhar le muinín.
Success was demonstrated in collaboration with trust.
Bháin siad tairbhe le chéile, ag briseadh teorainneacha na seandálaíochta.
They benefited together, breaking the boundaries of archaeology.
An lá ina dhiaidh sin, rith Siobhán an machaire lán de dhathanna na fómhar, braistint comhlíonadh ina croí.
The next day, Siobhán ran across the field full of autumn colors, a sense of fulfillment in her heart.
Bhí sí ag druidim le post buan agus meas i measc a comhghleacaithe.
She was approaching a permanent position and respect among her colleagues.
Mar sin, ghlac an tobar dúinn a stair ársa eile, fite fuaite le dearfacht agus dúil úr a thaispeáint do shaol ársa ár linne.
Thus, the well presented us with another ancient story, interwoven with positivity and a renewed desire to showcase the ancient life of our time.
