[QUOTE="Rahkan, post: 202787, member: 3583"] If you really want help from us high-school Latin geniuses then try to put all your phrases in the indicative (statement of fact) or imperative (command). Don't say May God and the Saints aid me. Say God and the Saints will aid me. Most of the above are subjunctive constructions in that they express unsurety or doubt, and all of us have (are, in my case) sweated over this endlessly in high school. It should suit the character too, I'm sure he has no lack of absolute (read totally sure) faith in his god to do this junk. No matter what it actually means it'll sound good in Latin. Its not like we need to be Cicero here. May the enemies of the Lord stand revealed, that they may face His judgement." Becomes The enemies of the lord will be revealed. They will be judged by him. Translate to Hostes domini aperientur. Iudicabuntur eo Light of the Lord, shine into this place of darkness, that Your servants may do Your work. Becomes Light of the Lord, shine into this dark place. In order that your servants do your work. Translates to Lux domini, cande (refulge - shine brightly) in eum locum acerbum, servi agent (Ag-Ent, with a hard g) tuum laborem. May God and the saints aid me and grant me strength in this time of need. Becomes God and the saints, Aid me and Grant me strength in this time of need. Translates to Deus et beati, Adjuve me (may) et Annue me vires in id tempus necessitatis. I stand resolute in my service to You, Lord. I will not falter. I will not fall. Becomes I stand resolutely in my service to you, Lord. I will not falter. I will not fail. Sto prompte in meo famulatum a te, Domine. No nutabim (nootabam). No delinquem. How lucky you are indeed. I almost lost this in the sending. Anyway here it is, the first four, although rephrased for my convenience. No doubt my teacher will find some fault with this, no doubt someone else on the board will also. But its decent, I tried to give you the right connotations, but sometimes I may have used an innapropriate word, it doesn't matter. Enjoy [/QUOTE]
