| | "Ne inquietamini"
Why passive voice?
Moreover:
Ne + coniunctivus!
Could you correct it,tarinoidenkertoja, please? |

| | in french "ne vous inquietez "is passive |

| | "The sky is the limit.
Don't worry, be happy.
Pray for us."
Pray (plural you) |

| | Thank you. |

| | No, those are singular 'you'. |
| | 11 Listopad 2009 15:15 |
| | Thanks. It was also essential to the translation. It was translated in plural and in passive voice! |
| | 11 Listopad 2009 16:22 |
| | Hum...perhaps because the French translation also uses plural. It must be corrected.

| | Don't worry, be happy.
You translated:
"Ne inquietemini, sitis felices"
--> Noli laborare, felix esto/sis.
p.s. noli laborare = common expression for "don't wory"
esto - as an order
sis - as an advice |

| | The last line isn't addressed to God, Francky, but to some people.
"Pray for us"
I think we shouldn't try to connect the sentences. Becauase they are isolated... |

| | In some prayer though,(the one to Maria, I think) one can read that : "pray for us" It is true that it isn't addressed to God himself, but it still could be some kind of request addressed to God through Maria. There's so few context that no one can assume anything.

| | You would be right, Francky, if Maria or God could be in plural...
Have you read Lilian's bridge above?
She typed it clear for me:
"Pray for us." Pray (plural you)
P.s. That is why in Latin version we have: Ora te pro nobis..
|
| | 11 Listopad 2009 22:06 |
| | Francky, is it possible French version is still wrong?
You have: "Priez pour nous"
"Priez" is plural? (orate) or singular (ora) |
| | 12 Listopad 2009 09:54 |
| | Both, here "priez" could be the polite form, when one says "vous" to one single person, and it could also be the plural one.
