Re: Threat Focused

How would a Roman or Medieval European have said "Threat Focused", as in "stay threat focused!"?. Note, however, I am only interested in "Threat Focused" without any ancillary command verbs (if that makes sense).

thanks very much!

I'm not really sure what it means.
Maybe someone else will have an idea.

Thanks for the reply George. Now, how would you translate "Romans 13:4"? Thanks again.

I'm not sure whether you want that verse in Latin or the citation, so
here's both:

Dei enim minister est tibi in bonum si autem male feceris time non enim
sine causa gladium portat Dei enim minister est vindex in iram ei qui
malum agit.

Epistola ad Romanos cap. XIII, vs. IV

Note that the excerpt "Dei enim minister est vindex in iram"
(For he is God's minister: an avenger to execute wrath)
is very close to your earlier request.

I'm trying to translate 'I abjure thee' retaining the archaic feel - the closest I've got is 'Ego te denego', but my latin is hopelessly bad. Advice?

You are the BOMB George! I should have been more clear in my verbiage. I just needed the verse; However, the translated quote has given me some new ideas for the motto. Vindex has a nice ring to it. Would "vindex irae Dei" be correct for "avenger of Gods wrath"?
You are correct. My first query was my paraphrasing from that scripture, derived from several translations.
Thanks again.

Yes, but that would imply that the avenger was seeking vengeance on
God for his wrath. You might want to borrow the construction used in the
quotation from the Latin Vulgate Bible, "in iram". Then it would be
"vindex in iram Dei".

pls help
How would you say "the naked truth" ?
I know naked is nuda and truth is verita, so nuda verita will be naked truth, right? But how do you say THE naked truth?

Veritas is truth.
"Nuda veritas" is both "naked truth" and "the naked truth".
There is no equivalent to "the" in Latin.

Literally, it is "avenger in God's wrath." The idea is that of an avenger who executes God's wrath.

Could you re-phrase your question about spelling?

I think he means if the gods was plural (and still possessive), in which case it would be 'deorum' instead of 'dei'. Sometimes you'll see 'deum' too, just a contracted version of 'deorum'.
