Lá gruama geimhridh a bhí ann i mBaile Átha Cliath.

It was a gloomy winter day in Baile Átha Cliath.

Bhí an t-aer lán le boladh milis na gcaife úr.

The air was filled with the sweet smell of fresh coffee.

San árasán beag, bhí Niamh ag obair go dian.

In the small apartment, Niamh was working diligently.

Bhí an siopa maisithe le soilse beaga agus gléasanna Nollag.

The shop was decorated with small lights and Christmas decorations.

Lasmuigh, bhí na sráideanna fuar.

Outside, the streets were cold.

Bhí ganntanas custaiméirí ann ag an mhaidin sin.

There was a shortage of customers that morning.

Bhí gach duine sa chuideachta ag tnúth leis na laethanta saoire.

Everyone in the company was looking forward to the holidays.

Bhí Ronan ina fhear bainistíochta.

Ronan was the manager.

Bhí sé teolaí agus cairdiúil, ach bhí fadhbanna aige leis na slabhraí soláthair.

He was warm and friendly, but he had problems with the supply chains.

Bhí an r-roimhré sáraithe air agus é ag iarraidh gan rud ar bith a bheith in easnamh.

He was overwhelmed by the pressure of not wanting anything to be missing.

D'éirigh an t-áit níos gnóthaí sna huaireanta beaga maidine.

The place became busier in the early morning hours.

Bhí scaifte mór os comhair an chuntar.

A big crowd was in front of the counter.

Theastaigh ó Niamh go mbíodh gach custaiméir sona, cé go raibh sí faoi bhrú.

Niamh wanted every customer to be happy, even though she was under pressure.

Lean Ronan ag déanamh glaonna gutháin.

Ronan continued making phone calls.

Bhí imní air go mbeadh deireadh le breisleántóirí na Nollag sular tháinig siad.

He was worried that the Christmas decorations would run out before they arrived.

Ach bhí Ronan cliste, agus bhí sé ag súil go nochtfadh soláthraí áitiúil na táirgí in am.

But Ronan was smart, and he hoped that a local supplier would deliver the products on time.

Dúirt sé le Niamh, “Gabh i leith, beidh gach rud ceart go leor.”

He said to Niamh, “Don't worry, everything will be alright.”

Choinnigh Niamh a fear ionúin, a labhraíonn sí go grinn.

Niamh kept her beloved humor as she talked to customers.

Bhí sí ag gáire is ag insint scéalta faoina clúdaíocht saoire.

She was laughing and telling stories about her holiday plans.

Gach nóiméad, d'iompaigh an doras agus líon na daoine isteach na sluaite.

Every moment, the door swung open and people flooded in.

Bhí margaí Nollag sa cheantar.

There were Christmas markets in the area.

Bhí Niamh neirbhíseach, ach bhí a fios agam conas iad a mhéadú.

Niamh was nervous, but she knew how to handle them.

Ag an nóiméad deireanach, d'éirigh gach rud níos fearr.

At the last moment, everything improved.

Tháinig bus de phaicéirí mór le suirbhéanna.

A large bus of package couriers arrived with deliveries.

Glaodh Ronan isteach arís.

Ronan was called back in again.

Tháinig an t-am seo, astraíodh coimeádaí Nollag ar an dtaobh.

This time, a Christmas caretaker arrived at the side.

Bhí sé ag tabhairt bardaí speisialta.

He brought special guidance.

Bhí a leanbh ag cuimilt cos ar a h-urnais.

His child was tugging playfully at his sleeve.

"Rúnaí an t-amharc!" d'éirigh Niamh lán de faoiseamh.

“Rúnaí an t-amharc!” Niamh exclaimed with relief.

Tháinig Ronan go tapa, mar a dtuigeann go halla síos a h-imeall iontaí.

Ronan quickly understood, as he recognized the familiar edge of a sightseer.

D'aithin an siopa go tapa, le gasúr ceidtear.

The shop quickly recognized, with a child’s curiosity.

Bhí gach duine in ann miongháire a dhéanamh.

Everyone was able to smile.

Ar an nóiméad deireanach, bhí chuile rud beagnach réidh.

At the last moment, everything was almost ready.

D'féach sé ar Niamh agus dúirt, “Tá tú iontach, Niamh. Rinne tú jab iontach.”

He looked at Niamh and said, “You’re amazing, Niamh. You did an excellent job.”

Bhí Niamh níos muiníneach anois.

Niamh was more confident now.

Thuig sí nach raibh sí ag obair amháin.

She understood she wasn't working alone.

Bhí a chriú ar fad ann chun í a thacú.

Her entire crew was there to support her.

Agus Ronan?

And Ronan?

Thuig sé freisin an chumhacht a bhí aige, a bheith iontaofa agus socair.

He realized the power he had, to be dependable and calm.

Bhí sé deas a mheasadh an t-aos socracht agus an bhfoireann.

It was nice to appreciate the solace and the team.

Le croí lán de bhuíochas, d'éirigh Niamh agus Ronan ionradh, i ndiaidh a n-imeachtaí.

With hearts full of gratitude, Niamh and Ronan were enriched after their experiences.

Bhí an t-atmaisféar chomh álainn agus chomh seasta, le a n-iontais Nollag á phlé.

The atmosphere was so lovely and stable, discussing their Christmas wonders.

Bhí an Damhsa Nollag tá bioráin amháin acu ina ngleo cineálta, gach rud chomh spraoiúil.

The Christmas Dance had a vibrant look in their cheerful hustle, everything so playful.
