wellll...that Antone's pretty smart.

whoo boy, can you imagine getting that tatooed on you, then realizing it was wrong.

Let's wait to see what Antone's got to say.

I would translate that as:

tantum deus mos sentio mihi

Sheesh, now CHAI's dumpin' me for Antone.
I'm hurt.

But seriously, folks...
Before you get this tattooed, run it by someone else. Unlike Antone,
I'm not a professional Latin scholar, just a guy who does this for fun.

tantum -- so much (sometimes, "only")
deus -- god
mos -- custom (sometimes, "will" as in someone's will to do something)
sentio -- I feel (sometimes, "I judge")
mihi -- to me

AHA! Now that I look at this again, I see that tee001 requested
"Only god will judge me", but I translated "Only god can judge me".
This kind of thing is why you want a second opinion.

"Only God will judge me" is:

Deus solus me iudicabit.

Whatever happened to hearts with "MOM" in them?

I once fell in love with a female Russian sailor named Doris, and had her name tatooed over my heart.

But she turned out to be a he, so I had to change the D to a B.

Such is life.

@tee001,

I too am having that tattoo'd - I sought translation from a latin teacher at our nearby college, she translated it as " solus iudicabit dues mihi "
Hope this helps

@dazza68,

I think she meant "deus", not "dues".
I question the use of the dative "mihi" rather than the accusative "me."
