Could somebody please translate the following English sentences into latin for me so I can see the difference (if there is one)?


"God's will is my will"

"My will is God's will"

"All is one, one is all"


Thank you very much in advance!

Here's my take on it:

"God's will is my will"
Voluntas Dei voluntas mea est

"My will is God's will"
Voluntas mea voluntas Dei est

"All is one, one is all"
Omnia unum sunt, unum omnia est

Note that I am translating "all" as plural (omnia) and "one" as singular (unum).

Translate latin to english
Thanks for that George. I have another question.

I have been told that the phrase 'Quayrite Prime Regnum Dei' translates to 'Seek ye first the kingdom of God'. Firstly, I'm just wondering if you'd agree with this translation?

And secondly, would you be able to give me some idea as to how the word 'Quayrite' is pronounced?

Any help you can give me would be very much appreciated! Thank you!

It should be:
Quaerite Primum Regnum Dei

As for pronunciation, I learned the so-called "Church Latin" pronunciation.
I pronounce quaerite KWAY-ree-tay. I believe the "Classical Latin"
pronunciation (which is closer to the way the Romans pronounced it) is
KWEYE-ree-tay (with "EYE" as in what you use to see).
