Latin to English translations [PRO]
Art/Literary - Linguistics | | Latin term or phrase: Pro domino Satana, animum tuum delacerabo | I would like to know the exact and proper way to state, "On behalf of our Master Satan, I shall tear your soul (spirit) to shreds!"
I think I'm close, but it still doesn't feel complete. Other sites I've searched across the internet don't have the "I shall" in the translation. Am I missing something?
I've also received both "tuum" and "tuam." Which is correct?
In context, I am speaking to a wide audience. Is there a way to speak to a collective group while not using a plural form of "souls?" I want it to sound as if I am speaking to each one on a personal level, yet speaking to many at once. If not, the direct, singular translation will do.
Also, how about "On behalf of our Lord Satan, I shall destroy you?" ("You" in the collective, as if speaking to a large group.)
