Actually, according to my Foclóir (dictionary), ciúnas is "calmness,
stillness, silence, quiet," not a command.
The command would be bí ciúin! (bee KYOO-in).
And it's a small point in the second part, Bí i do thost (pronounced as
Einde said above, the i vani****ng from sound, meaning, "Be in your
silence,"
literally.
