Ciamar a chanas tu/sibh "be content" ann an Gàdhlig?

Hi to anyone who can help. I have pretty poor gaelic and was wondering how to correctly say, "be content" in gaelic. It's not for a tattoo like everyone else, but for a headstone of a relative who was fluent in gaelic.

I think it's "bi toilichte" but wasn't sure as other options where "bi na th’ann" or "bi saimhrigheach".

I appreciate someone is going to reply with the standard response of not everyone here speaks gaelic, and to pay a translator. I can't afford it, it's christmas so academic institutions are closed and time is of the essence. I am Scottish living in Scotland and can you believe no one I know speaks Gaelic.

Tapadh leat (Thanks).

Aren't tombstone enscribers also on holiday ? I'd wait a week and then contact Sabhal Mor Ostaig.

Indeed they are. It doesn't hurt to be prepared for the meeting though. Thanks for your help though.
