I will translate anything into Latin.

[Morph Bark]

Some very nice translations have been provided so far I see, some of which I think I'd love to use sometime myself!

In the meantime, I have only a small request. I intend to have a character carry the semi-self-imposed title "the Divine Judgment" and wanted to translate it into Latin. I thought it translated to Iudiciis Divinis for this and thus he would be named "Alexander Iudiciis Divinis", but as I barely passed Latin I figured it would be better to ask someone with more knowledge on the matter.

When you're not too busy of course, no rush!

[Neknoh]

I've got a request or two as well.

Maria pray with us
Christus stand by us
God in heaven welcome us

[Capt. Ido Nos]

I have a request that will settle an old curiosity of mine:

"When all else fails, play dead."

[Empedocles]

For a little story I'm writing, could you translate a few things:

"The Castle Upon a Hill," as a reference to the biblical "City Upon A Hill," so anything to make it a little more holy would be appreciated.

"The Blade of Time," and possibly the "Hammer of Time."

[Neknoh]

Got one more

"May God have mercy upon my enemies
For I will not"

or simply

"God have mercy
For I will not"

[latinprobz101]

can you please help me with this mass intention? I got the ending i believe.


"For all those who are suffering today, that they may be healed by the love of Christ and His Church, we pray to the lord."



"hodie pro all those who are suffering, ut curentur amore Christo et Suo Templo ,oram ad Dominum.”


Thanks!

Try this phrase:

I wanna PM it to Glyphstone and see if he uses it :p

[Wild Zubat]

Could you, possibly, translate the following?

"Ice cream is illegal on other planets!"

That is, if it's not too much trouble.

[Tannhaeuser]

I thought I'd take a whack at these, under correction:

We are the Nanovor.
We are the Warriors of a land beyond human eye.
We are guts. We are glory.
We fight to live, and live to fight.
You never see us. Or hear us or feel us.
But we are here. Beyond your sight.

Nanovor sumus.
Ex terra ultra conspectum hominum Bellatores sumus.
Fortitudo sumus. Gloria sumus.
Nos numquam videbitis, vel audiatis vel sentiatis.
Sed hic sumus, ultra visionem vestram.

To the stars we return,
From now to the end of time,
We therefore commit these bodies to the deep.

'Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.'

[Tannhaeuser]

Tres annuli regibus longævis sub cælis;
Septem dominis pygmæis in aulis saxeis
Novem hominibus mortalibus fatis mori;
Unus Domino Tenebroso in throno tenebroso,
In terra Mordor ubi umbræ jacent.
Unus annulus hos omnes regire , unus annulus hos invenire,
Unus annulus hos omnes ferre et in tenebro hos ligare
In terra Mordor ubi umbræ jacent.

Not quite as snappy in Latin, is it? By the way, both "elf" and "dwarf" are cruxes in Latin; neither word has an exact equivalent. The usual gloss of Old English ælf is nympha, a word that is always feminine in meaning as in grammatical gender (when, indeed, ælf is not used to translate dæmon or diabolus). Latin nanus is never used to denote a supernatural being.

[Ingvar]

Hi!
I would be very grateful if someone can give me a proper sentence in Latin.
The meaning should be:
Victory means everything/Victory is the most important
NB! It's important to use word Victoria.
Thank you very much in advance!

Thank you very much in advance!

you remind me very much of a friend of mine who called his daughter "Vittoria" in order for him to be sure that he'd celebrate a victory every year despite his football team sucking more often than not.
I'd translate it with Vincere est totum, but that negates your pre-requisite..

[Ingvar]

The reason is a bit better, but yes, it means also a name.
One friend of mine said: Victoria summa superae est!
But she wasn't 100% sure if it's grammatically correct?
Any more suggestions?

[Weimann]

If someone has the time, it'd be great to know what "knowledge and tolerance" would be in Latin. Thanks a lot.

[Tannhaeuser]

If someone has the time, it'd be great to know what “knowledge and tolerance” would be in Latin. Thanks a lot.

Scientia et Tolerantia, but...

Tolerantia in Classical Latin is more the ability to bear misfortune and less the willingness to bear with other people, but then “tolerance” in our sense is not a virtue that the Classical world much admired. There are Magnanimitas, “great-mindedness,” which includes the virtue of not being bothered by unimportant things, and Liberalitas, “generosity,” which includes the idea of being able to forgive, but I am afraid that what we call “tolerance,” the Romans would have called Pusillanimitas, “lack of proper spirit,” and Servilitas, “slavishness, sycophancy.”

[Weimann]

"Scientia et servilitas" actually sounds better in my ears. Thanks! ;D

[Wild Zubat]

If you don't mind me asking...

Could you please translate "this game is not meant for mortals, but for the poor, tortured souls in fire?"

[Tannhaeuser]

Hic ludus non mortalibus sed animis [lemuribus, manibus, umbris, larvis] miseris in igne cruciatis.

It would be better style in Classical Latin to leave out the “is meant” (designatus est), or at least the est. “Souls” is a bit tricky — anima is the usual word, but animus, “mind,” is indistinguishable from it in the dative case needed here, though the meaning may be clear enough. If you mean “souls in the underworld,” the usual word is manes,* though those are usually the benevolent dead; the wicked dead are the lemures. Larvæ (“masks,” “grubs”) are “apparitions”; “shadows, shades” are umbræ.

* Augustine in the 4th century A.D. cites Apuleius as using manes as a term for neutral spirits, as opposed to lares, who are good, and lemures or larvæ, who are evil. Lares are usually the deified spirits of ancestors, the “household gods.”

[Spbennett]

Hi there,

Would you mind translating this "What is any ocean but a multitude of drops?" into Latin please

Cheers :)

[The Vagabond]

That's rather nice of you, thanks.
Here are a few requests of mine:

"Shut up before I rip your head off"
"Tales of a Vagabond"
"GIANT FIREBALL OF DOOOM!"
"F** REALITY! F*** MAGIC!"
"Shut up, please"
"Thine mind is like a medow- Flat and full of bugs."
"Thou art thou mother's whore."
"Hello there! Names Vagabond, how's your day?"
"DON'T KILL ME, PLEASE! PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE!"
"Never yeild, never bend, never stop walking forword."
"Why would I stop? There's still so much to see!"

"Odyssyus, would you mind to shut your mouth? Really, your prating does little more than pester me into anger."

Mens tua sicut pratum est—planum et larvarum [cimicum, blattarum, scarabæorum, melolontharum] plenum.
The Romans did not differentiate among various insects in the way we do. “Insecta” is a modern word entirely, meaning “[thing] divided into parts.” “Larva” is “a bug, larva, caterpillar, mask, apparition, ghost.” (Interestingly, the original meaning of the English word “bug” was “a scary thing, a boogeyman, a ghost”; the idea that various insects were manifestations of the souls of the dead caused the word to be transferred to the animal.) “Cimex” is a “bug, bedbug.” “Blatta” is a “cockroach.” “Scarabæus” is a “bug, beetle, scarab.” “Melolontha” (a Greek loan-word) is a “meadowbug” or “cockchafer.”

To everyone I've ever harmed, offended, or hurt, I'm truly sorry. I was careless, selfish, or just wasn't thinking. I didn't think about how it would affect you. I'm sorry. I wish I could think of something more to say, but maybe if I could I wouldn't be in this situation.

I never claimed I would live forever.

[Peelee]

Tace, si placet.

When I read what was asked to be translated, I misread "shut up, please" as "SHUT UP." Which made the "tace, si placet" hilarious and made me think you were subtly trolling people.

I was very sad when I saw it was indeed supposed to be "shut up, please."

[Tannhaeuser]

…and made me think you were subtly trolling people.

Does that include "I never claimed I would live forever."?

My Latin sucks, but it doesn't appear so. I figure he'll get that next time he replies, but just in case you need a definitive answer ASAP, go with no.
