Greek (Ancient) translation:Me^deni me^ pisteue.
Explanation:
There are several correct "translations", but if this is a Biblical text, tell me the book, chapter, and verse, so that I can look it up for you and give you the original text (which is obviously the preferable answer!!!).

Thank you for your response! I really have no idea what the actual, original "text" was/is in the Bible, but that is what inspired me to find a translation, as there is scripture that reads "Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord." Jeremiah 17:5 You can also look up these verses to read about "trusting man"; Ps 118:9, Ps 146:3 My interest in the Greek translation is simply that I intend to get myself a tattoo of this particular phrase and I chose Greek because my husband was half Greek and he was killed 4 yrs. ago.....and I sure do miss him and his Greek nose!
