Re: Translate latin to english

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).
