Yes, you could also say "amach leat as sin".

It's not a literal translation, because English and Irish don't necessarily make for ready literal translations.

I think you're being too generous to me PB. My translation has a strong feeling of compulsion to it, while the English original could be spoken in either a pleasant or a harsh way.
Maybe if you said "A Chaoimhe, gabh amach as sin", i.e. using the person's name, it could be said both ways, but even then, I'd be doubtful!

Cé a sheas ar do ladhar? You were wrong to say ansin means now. He corrected it, no problem. He also gave you an answer to the question you asked, which seems to be more than you deserve.

I mentioned earlier that I was trying to find in print where a seanchaí had years ago used "amach as faoi", well while I did'nt come across that yet, I have found 2 other sources.
"Caisleáin Óir" by the prolific writer and native speaker Séamus Ó Grianna has in chapter 11 a description of the moon coming out from under a cloud. "Níor luaithe a ceann amuigh as faoi néal aici ná bhí sí ina rith isteach faoi cheann eile".
A 90 year-old native speaker told me that she would say "tar aniar as faoin tábla".
