Title: Ecclesiastical Latin Help
Post by: UMCGB on March 15, 2022, 09:12:33 AM

How do you say, "Get behind me, Satan", in Ecclesiastical Latin? Please post the phonetic spelling of the pronunciation, too. Thanks.

That comes from St. Matthew 16:23.

So we would use St. Jerome as the canonical text:

Vade post me Satana.

Pronounciation just like it looks.  Accent on first syllable except that I guess Satana would have the accent on the last syllable, since it's from the Greek, but I'm not 100% sure.

a - like in "father"
o - like in "ocean"
e - close to the e in "they" (but a bit shorter)
v - like "v" in very (with ecclesiastical pronounciation)

Someone getting on your nerves?  Need something new to yell at NYC taxi drivers?  I got flipped the bird and cut-off for the first time in a long while yesterday.  The phrase will come in hand.
