Could you give us the context please? "Stand Fast" may have many meaning

Stand Fast:

- tactic of combat
- don't move (as an order in a battle)
- "Stand Fast" was also the war cry of the Clan Grant (Whisky)
- an artillery order (don't move).
- ...
- ...

If you mean you would like a Latin translation, I think it would just be, in the singular (as an order given to only one, possibly one family or one people): "sta", and in the plural: "state".

"Stand Fast" is my family (Clan Grant)'s motto. I hope you could possibly find a translation if not it's ok.

A definition found in the Grand dictionnaire terminologique website:

"In artillery, the order at which all action on the position ceases immediately."
