Latin term or phrase: Unde fungi ego impetro rego quod de Deus

adam

English translation:From wherever I am serving /working, I accomplish and rule what is God's ??

Explanation:
To accurately translate "fungi" (from fungor as Flavio says) we should have a bit more context, since it means:
<fungor , functus, fungi, v. dep. [kindred to Sanscr. bhuj-, frui] , to busy one's self with or be engaged in something; to perform, execute, administer, discharge, observe, do (syn.: administro, defungor); constr. with abl., rarely with acc. or absol.

It is the same root of the word "function" in English.

Also, as Flavio says, there are some problems with the grammar.

Can you confirm the spelling?

For example, if impetro and rego are both verbs (first pers. sing, present tense) than a conjunction is needed between the two (impetro et rego)

Also it would be interesting to have a
bit more context in general (where is it from, author, purpose etc.)

Some suggestion...

Explanation:
The phrase looks somehow strange. This is all I can say to help you:

Unde: "from where"
fungi: fungor is deponent, so I suppose this apparently passive infinitive is, really, an active infinitive. "to do something, to take that something to its final part, to end something, to make something with responsibilities"

ego impetro: I get, I obtain that...(1st singular)

rego: I rule, I administrate

quod de Deus: what talks about God, what is about God, the things about God.

Sounds a bit strange... Something must be wrong in the grammar? Please check.

A possible strange result:

"From where I do my job, I get to rule all the things that apply to God"

Hope it helped somewhat... Francesco, may you help further please?
