Latin for "Here I come, and Hell comes with me"?


Off-Topic Discussions


I need some linguistic help: What would be a decent translation of "Here I come, and Hell comes with me" into latin?

Smurf is about as close as you can get.

but I come up with, "propinquo quod abyssus propinquo," or "Ego propinquo quod abyssus propinquo," using online translators. I approach and hell approaches.

"Propinquo per abyssus," might also work. I approach with hell.

Ego adveho, cum me Abyssus adveho.

Best I can come up with, it's been awhile since I have taken latin.

You could also use this site Latin to English Translator for some close enough approximations.

Not what you're looking for, but Babel Fish will do other languages.

How about, "Ego propinquo addo abyssus." I draw near to give hell.

Babelfish is the king of mistranslations. Watch what happens when I translate the following phrase:

ENGLISH: Here I come, and Hell comes with me.
->KOREAN
->ENGLISH: Comes from here, the hell comes with me.

Even better:

ENGLISH: The flesh is weak, but the spirit is willing.
->KOREAN
->ENGLISH: The flesh omits, the spirit puts out but does.

Finally:

ENGLISH: Babel Fish is a terrible translation site.
->KOREAN
->ENGLISH: Fish is the translation location which is terrible.

Sounds like a Confuscious...

I'd use it in a game for the basic effect, not necessarily the actual meaning.
