Re: Latin to English Translation
Thank you. That is what I thought it was but I wasn't sure.

Re: Latin to English Translation
What about "Servant of Jesus", "Servant of the Lord" or "Servant of God"?

Re: Latin to English Translation
Servus Iesu = Servant of Jesus
Servus Domini = Servant of the Lord
Servus Dei = Servant of God

Re: Latin to English Translation
Was Servus Iesus a typo? Should it be Servus Jesus?

Latin didn't have the letter "J" -- we sometimes use the "J" because "I" and "J" are really the same letter.

It is an I not a J, Latin doesn't utilize the letter J, so it is Iesus

I would have said servus Iesu, servus Domini, and servus Dei.

Re: Latin to English Translation
Correct translations are:
masculine:
Servus Jesu
Servus Domini
Servus Dei
feminine:
Serva Jesu
Serva Domini
Serva Dei
For the plural 'Servants of...':
masculine:
Servi Jesu
Servi Domini
Servi Dei
feminine:
Servae Jesu
Servae Domini
Servae Dei
For groups comprised of both men and women, the masculine forms are used.
The words Jesu, Domini, and Dei must be in the genitive (possessive) case. The word Jesu is of the fourth declension, but irregular; most nouns of the fourth use -us in the genitive. For example, the 'Society of Jesus' is 'Societas Jesu' and "At the name of Jesus...' uses the 'Jesu' form. There is some inconsistency throughout history in the declension of 'Jesus.'
Domini and Dei are second declension.

Re: Latin to English Translation
Is Servus Christi the proper traslation for Servant of Christ?
