    Thanks.

    I passed it along to Slighe nan Gaidheal. They've always been real helpful in translating words & phrases into Scots Gaelic or visa versa for me in the past.

    Best.

    Thanks again BoldHighlander! I found out it means: "Encourage each other as long as today is the name of the day."

    I appreciate your help,

    I wonder if one version is more poetic than the other. If it were me getting the ink, I'd opt for the shorter translation.
