Need Latin expert for quick translation

Hah, I guessed correctly (50 years since I studied latin) re Moebius' question.
Apparently all is not lost yet.

Welcome to a2k, Moebius and Warren Gaebel.

That's what I thought, too, but when I put that into translate.google.com, it says, "It inspires confidence, competence" if I enter it in lowercase, "Powers inspires confidence" if I capitalize each word, and "MEETING inspire confidence" if I enter it as all caps. I get the same results in stars21.com. I haven't found any translator that gives me "Competence Inspires Confidence," which is the reason for my post. I thought it was right, but all the online tools disagree with me.

I also need a Latin translation. Can someone translate "my father's house consumes me"? Father being God the father. Thanks!!

domus patris mei comedit me

There is also this (John 2:16)
zelus domus tuae comedit me
The zeal of thy house hath eaten me up

I have another Latin query. Sir Christopher Wren's epitaph famously reads " Si Monumentum Requiris, Circumspice." Commonly translated "If you seek his monument, look around you."
I'd like to alter this slightly, to read "If you seek my temple, look around you."
Would it be something like "Si templum requiris, circumspice ?"

Yes. You could say templum meum if you wanted to be explicit about "my"
temple.

Splendid ! Thank you !

You're welcome.

Hey. Sorry to bother, but I'm trying to translate the phrase "the world is quiet here". It's both from a book, where it is a motto, and from a poem about Proserpine, Hades' wife and goddess of death.

The poem starts like this:
Here, where the world is quiet / here, where all trouble seems / dead winds' and spent waves' riot in doubtful dreams of dreams / I watch the green field growing / for reaping folk and sowing, / for harvest-time and mowing, / a sleepy world of streams.

And go on (here is all of it: http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poem/174555).

I searched on line and talked to a few people about it, and I got "mundus quietem hic", and "ecce orbis tacet", but no one was sure.

Can you help me?

The first translation is almost there. Unfortunately quietem, which must
agree in case with mundus, does not. Substitute quies.

mundus quies hic

mundus --> world
quies --> quiet
hic --> here
("is" is understood)


The second translation is less literal, but still conveys the meaning.

"Behold, the world is silent"

ecce --> behold
orbis --> the world
tacet --> is silent

Thank you so much, George. And thanks also for being so quick.

My pleasure, maribocorny.

You seem to be an incredibly helpful man George. I had a bad time recently and want to mark it with my first tattoo in Latin but I have so many different translations of what I want to say and I would rather it be completely accurate in Latin rather than a direct translation that loses its meaning if you follow my reasoning.

The phrase is "remember to be better than before" or "remember to be better than this"

Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

"remember to be better than before"

memento esse melius quam ante

Please read this.

Thanks, ossobuco!

So I'm writing a short-fiction shameless rip-off of Arthur Conan Doyle style stories about a murder mystery set in one of the historical secretive Hellfire Clubs (don't judge me )

The story will contain two invented Latin phrases, one written and the other as dialogue.

I need a Latin inscription for the Club entrance. I'm thinking Pleasure forever imminent. My best guess is Voluptas imminere perpetua...with the verb in the infinitive.

I'm wondering how to say May pleasure be forever imminent but I can't seem to figure out how to say May x be y in Latin since I'm not sure what a blessing is grammatically. But I think that would make a better motto.

The other latin phrase is Follow the carrot to the stick as a joke on the old detective's adage to follow the money to the source. My best guess is Sequere (active present imperative) carota (nominative case) ad virga.

Any thoughts are mucho appreciated

Here are my suggestions:

Pleasure forever imminent
Voluptas in perpetuum imminens

May pleasure be forever imminent
Voluptas in perpetuum immineat

Follow the carrot to the stick
Sequere carotam ad virgam

Ah, blessings are subjunctive! That makes sense.

I totally forgot the accusative case marks the object of a verb.

Thanks, George. You've made another of my awful short stories possible. The writing might be horrendous, but the Latin grammar will be impeccable

Glad to help, Moebius.
Where can we find your stories?

You have some understanding of Latin, I see.
When did you study it?

Hi

Could you help me?


I wonder if I got the correct translation;

Emanuel of Skåne
=
Emmanuhel de Scaniae


Skåne is a Swedish name of the region in the south..

Is it correct?


Thanks!

I believe it should be de Scania, not de Scaniae, but otherwise OK.
