between "exite" and "prodeo"; and "multiplicate" and "multiplicamini", etc ?
Automated online translators generally give you the first person singular present
indicative active of a verb.
Prodeo = "I go forth". In this case, you would actually
want the plural imperative active.
Prodite = "go forth". So why did I suggest
exite? Simply because they are synonyms and you seemed to want short words
(as opposed to "a mouthful".) If you wish, use
prodite rather than
exite.
I suggested
multiplicate because it is the plural imperative active of the
verb
multiplico. Now, the Latin Vulgate uses
multiplicamini. That would
be the plural imperative passive. I'm not sure why this is used, perhaps
in a reflexive sense (i.e. "be multiplied" or "multiply yourselves"). In any
case, I suggested
multiplicate because it is shorter.
