D~ an tAthair, an Mac, an Spiorad Naomh, God the Father, the Son, the Holy Ghost. D~ Uilechumhachtach, God Almighty. A Dhia (dhílis)! O (dear) God! A Dhia (mhór) na glóire! (Great) God of glory! (Go mbeannaí) D~ duit, daoibh! God save you! ~ anseo, sa teach! God bless all here! ~ liom, leat, linn! God bless me, you, us! ~ (go deo) leat! Bravo! Well done! Ba é D~ a bhí leis nár loiteadh é, it was the mercy of God that he was not hurt. In ainm Dé, in God’s name. In onóir, as ucht, i gcuntas, ar son, Dé, for God’s, heaven’s, sake. Rud a dhéanamh de gheall ar Dhia, to do sth. for God’s sake. Tá a fhios ag D~ (go), God knows (that). Ag D~ (féin) atá a fhios, God only knows. Níl a fhios agam faoi Dhia, ó Dhia anuas, I don’t know under heaven. Faoi Dhia cad é a dhéanfaimid? What on earth are we to do! Idir mé is D~, I swear to God. Mura bhfuil ag D~, unless God has decreed otherwise. Más toil, más áil, le D~ (go), if God wills (that). B’fhéidir, b’fhurasta, le D~ sin, please God. B’fholláin Dé duit nár rug sé ort, you were lucky (it was God’s will) that he did not catch you. Go dtuga D~ sin, God grant it. Thug D~ dom gur éalaigh mé orthu, providentially I escaped from them. Chí D~ sin! What a pity! Bhí sé mar a chonaic D~ é, he was in a pitiable state. Nár fheice, nár lige, D~ (go), God forbid (that). Go lige D~ do shláinte leat, God grant you health. Go gcuire D~ rath ort, God prosper you. Is é D~ a chuir chugam é, it was a godsend to me. Go méadaí D~ thú, do stór, God grant you abundance. Go gcúití D~ leat é, God requite you for it. Go saolaí D~ é, God grant him length of life. Go sábhála D~ sinn; D~ ár sábháil, God save us. D~ ár gcumhdach, ár gcoisreacan, God protect, bless, us. Duine a fhágáil ag D~, to let God deal with s.o. Fágaim faoi Dhia iad, I leave them to God to judge. Do chuid a bheith ar Dhia, to be dependent on God for subsistence, rely on God’s gifts. Cibé a dhéanfas D~ linn, whatever God has in store for us. Prov: Tá D~ láidir (agus tá máthair mhaith aige), God is strong, a powerful ally in distress. Prov: Is maith D~ go lá (agus ní fearr ná go brách), God’s help is always near. Prov: Is fada siar an rud a chuirfeadh D~ aniar, nothing is impossible in the sight of God. Prov: Níor dhún D~ doras riamh nár oscail Sé ceann eile, [’God never closed one door without opening another’, God never shuts out opportunity. Is tú a dúirt agus ní hé D~, man proposes, God disposes. Fad a bheas D~ ina Dhia, while there is a God above. Ba mhór an tslí chun Dé é, it would be a great act of mercy.
