He escuchado centenares de veces "hearts stirring for God", y ira muy, pero muy bien con el contexto... no hay posibilidad de que sea una falta ortogrfica? Nunca he escuchado "hearts were string for".

Explanation: Ana. I have heard of "heartstrings", and of "being strung", but never of "being string" for something. Moreover, the original uses the singular "string" with the plural "hearts". Can't find any dictionary definition of "string" as a verb or adjective with some archaic meaning that might apply here, nor any references in Google.
What I'd probably do, if nobody else if familiar with this usage, is to interpret the meaning liberally and use your own words, as in:
"Sus corazones estaban en armonía con Dios".
At least there is some connection between "strings" and "harmony."
Buena suerte!

Concuerdo con Eng2Span respecto a lo de \"stirring\", que tendría mucho más sentido que \"string\". No obstante, traduciría la frase de manera un poco diferente. En lugar de \"sus corazones estaban fervientes\", creo que \"sus corazones latían llenos de fervor por Dios\" sonaría un poquito mejor.
Aun así, estaríamos asumiendo una errata en el original, así que en realidad da lo mismo. En definitiva, la idea general del párrafo se transmite igual con armonía que con corazones henchidos de fervor.
