My company has a motto "Libertas e' Republica" it's supposed to mean Freedom of Speech for the good of hte Republic. Someone told me recently that Libertas e' Republica really doesn't have any English translation. If that's true, how would you say Freedom of Speech for the Good of the Republic?

Libertas loquendi pro bono rei publicae

can someone tell me what the latin translation for " so others may live" is, im getting a firefighter related tattoo and wanted it added into the artwork but have found numerous phrases that are completely different and are supposed to represent the phrase

Elsewhere you asked whether it should be "Ut alii vivant" or "Ut vivant
alii". Both are correct. In Latin the form of the words, rather than the
word order, determines the meaning. Putting "alii" or "vivant" first may
be the author's way of emphasizing either "others" or "live".

Can you translate this into Latin for me

"For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it"

"But if I live on in the flesh, this will mean fruit from my labor; what I shall choose I cannot tell. For I am hard pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.

Thanks ^^

edit: Can you also translate Dark Priestess into latin please. thx

...I had a questionmark at a particular phrase:
A lover fears all that he believes
Amator omnia quod credit timet.
Did I type that over correct?...

Further I'd like to have two of my own (self-made) sayings translated
into Latin;

All that I want is all that is in my grasp,
but all that is in my grasp is all that I want.
Riddles enough,
riddles to solve.
-and-
Life's a game,
play the game,
or at least die trying.

And 2 sayings I've just heard somewhere before;
Redeem your past or repeat your mistakes
-and-
Forever you will be in my heart

Also I'd like to ask you, Africanus and George, if you'd advice me to
do a self study (as you are momentarily doing as I read, Africanus)
in Latin. I find myself to be kind of liking the language and all..
I'm just not sure if a self study would be fun enough...

1) Yes, you did copy that correctly.

2) Translations:
All that I want is all that is in my grasp,
but all that is in my grasp is all that I want.
Omnia quae cupeo sunt omnia quae in complexo meo,
sed omnia quae in complexo meo sunt omnia quae cupeo.

Riddles enough,
riddles to solve.
Satis aenigmatum,
aenigmates ad solvendum.

Life's a game,
play the game,
or at least die trying.
Vita ludus est,
ludum age,
aut certe temptans morere.

Redeem your past or repeat your mistakes
Praeterita tua redime aut errata tua itera.

Forever you will be in my heart
Semper in corde meo eris.

3) No disrespect to you, but Africanus is an exceptional guy.
Latin is very hard to take on as a solo project. Perhaps there
is some school offering a course at night near you?

Best of luck!

Hello, I'm trying to write a script for a movie I've been fantasizing about, and I really need some help translating these lines into Latin, it'd be great if you could help me out.

1.) You would hit me? I am your master, your God.

2.) If you go looking for demons, you will find them.

Thanks a million!

Greetings,

I want to translate an english sentence.
But im not sure of the grammar.
"My family are (is?) my strenght"

When i use a translator on internet i get;

"Meus prosapia es meus vires"

Is this a correct translation?
Thanks!

Here are the problems with that translation:
1) "prosapia" is a rarely-used word. "Familia" would be better.
2) The adjective "meus" ("my") must agree in gender with the noun it modifies.
3) "Vires" ("strength") is plural and that's OK for this word, but Id recommend the singular "vis".

I would translate it:
Familia mea est vis mea.

Quicumque vitam suam salvare quaesit perdet illam
sed qui pro me vitam suam perdit salvabit illam.

From the Latin Vulgate:

Qui enim voluerit animam suam salvam facere perdet eam qui autem
perdiderit animam suam propter me inveniet eam [Mt 16:25]

Qui enim voluerit animam suam salvam facere perdet eam qui autem
perdiderit animam suam propter me et evangelium salvam eam faciet
[Mk 8:35]

Quicumque quaesierit animam suam salvare perdet illam et qui perdiderit
illam vivificabit eam [Lk 17:33]

I'll try to get back with the rest later.

LATIN: It tolls for you
The "it" refers to a bell = a big church bell that would be tolled to announce something in a village. I want the present tense. "You" should be impersonal and singular.

It's important to get it right - I'm having it tattooed hopefully in a couple of hours!

Thanks!!!

Question about latin translation
Hi all,l

I asked "My will be done" by translated into latin and got:

Fiat voluntas mea.

I have two questions. First, isn't "mea" feminine as opposed to meus? And also in real latin doesn't the verb always come last?

So it would be

Mea (or meus) voluntas fiat

Thanks!
