English to Latin Plus a future request

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 07 Jun 2005 13:44

hi,

I'm a fanfic writer, and i really need help with some English to Latin Translations for my story.

The first is the title, "Have Mercy" (as in please have mercy).

My second request is sort of the other way around... I recently sung Haydns nelson mass in concert, but i have no idea what i was singing. Could someone tell me what kyrie Elieson means?

And finally, would someone be willing to be conatcted off list, on a semi regular basis for latin translation help for my story? If so my email adress is cute_baby_dragon@hotmail.com

Thank you so much for your help.

Jennie

ooopse.... I have just been told that Kyrie Elieson is actually greek... sorry... and it actually means something similar to what i wanted translated into Latin... very freaky... anyway, sorry about that.

Ps... still needing the latin though... please?

Latin is miserere, Kyrie eleison indeed means Lord have mercy in ancient Greek

And it's the same in modern Greek too. I know thanks to a song.

mercy: misericordia / misericordiae, (1st declension)
accusative: misericordiam / misericordias

I'm not sure. I do not know if the verb "elaô" is still existing, but "ελεησον" is a middle aorist imperative. As far I know this tense has desappeared (as the most part of ancient greek conjugation).

But it is true that "kyrie eleison" is a modern-like pronunciation. According of traditionnal academic pronunciation, it has to be said "kürie eleêson".

I can mistake. Anthos will answer better than I.

My second request is sort of the other way around... I recently sung Haydns nelson mass in concert, but i have no idea what i was singing.

According to what I find in the net, the texte of the Nelson Mass is the Missa in angustiis (mass in time of anguish). But I hadn't found the entire lyrics. If you find them I could translate.

Beware the spam ! Never let an email adress on a forum withoug changing at least the "@". Moderators will emend it.

If you have a few words to translate, I can. Please write them on the forum (answers are always on the forum, that is the rules). But for a text, sorry, I am too lazy for now.
