If somebody could please lend me a hand, I would appreciate it. I would like to translate these phrases into latin. Also, I was told that when latin was written it was something like this NVNTIVS.DEI (Messenger of God), is that correct? Here are the phrases
Destroy/fight evil wherever you find it.
Luck doesn't last.
Innocence is rarer than gold.
The laws of God are higher than the laws of man.
Repent and be saved.
Forgive me for my sins.
The righteous aren't welcome in this world.
Thanks to anybody who can give me a hand with these.
A reading of your post prompts me to advise you to research the subject of "Religious Mania".
Go ahead, Google it.
You could learn some valuable information. about yourself and others.
Other topics that you may find revelatory are "religious cults", and "mind control".

I'm actually planning on using these in my writing. And don't worry, it's fiction. I don't wear a hood or chant or sacrifice goats.
Neither did David Koresh or the "Rev." Jim Jones.

Jeez, pretty suspicious aren't we? Try googling "paranoia".
I really didn't ask for a lecture on religious mania, I would just like some phrases translated. If you've ever seen the movie The Boondock Saints, my main character is a lot like them.
Ubi reperis malum pugna.
Fortuna aeterna est non.
Innocens multum rarum aurum est.
Fas dei fas homini altum sunt. (Although I don't agree with that)
Paenite ac salvus est.
Meus nefas ignosce.
Bonus in mundo salvet non.
I suppose...I don't know how superlatives in Latin work.
In older forms of Latin, "i" and "j" are similarly used and "v" was used in place of "u". Latin does not have "z", "ph", "ch", "th", "w" (since "v" is pronounced like a "w") or "y".
Thank you very much Lucifer.
So,Lucifer,I suppose you can translate the following in latin:
"God's in his heaven,all's right with the world"
I could try.
Deus in caelo est, totus mundus sanus est.
hey i was just wondering if anyone could help me translate this into latin "something for something"
Aliquid aliquis
I think that's what it would be.
Hi Lucifer
Are you doing the translations yourself or is there a good application that you know of that will do translations of english into latin.
I ask simply because I would love to create latin motto's for either families or companies but whenever I look for Latin tutorials online they all seem to contradict each other.
Thanks in anticipation.

I've yet to see a computer application that could do a decent Latin to
English or English to Latin translation.
If you use a search engine well enough, you can generally find
translations of the individual words. If you've had some Latin in school,
you can find enough info online to help recall the grammar and syntax.

I use a program for
Macintosh called Latin WORDS (there might be a windows version, but I forget), which is based on an oxford dictionary, but it only goes from Latin to English. It's good for the declensions and conjugations, but you will have to use search engines for English to Latin translations. Too bad Google doesn't have Latin in its language tools yet. Maybe if we complain loudly enough, they might add it.
Thanks Lucifer and George
