"Cum Q. Scaevola, aequalis et conlega meus, Homo omnium et disciplina iuris civilis eruditissimus et ingenio prudentiaque acutissimus et oratione maxime limatus atque subtilis atque, ut ego soleo dicere, iuris peritorum eloquentissimus, eloquentium iuris peritissimus, ex scripto testamentorum iura defenderet negaretque, nisi postumus et natus et, ante quam in suam tutelam veniret, mortuus esset, heredem eum esse posse, qui esset secundum postumum et natum et mortuum heres institutus; ego autem defenderem eum hac tum mente fuisse, qui testamentum fecisset, ut, si filius non esset, qui in suam tutelam veniret, M'. Curius esset heres, num destitit uterque nostrum in ea causa in auctoritatibus, in exemplis, in testamentorum formulis, hoc est, in medio iure civili versari?"

And what does anything said in Irish seem? ;-)

sarcastic ;)

"Muta fiant labia dolosa, quae loquuntur adversus iustum proterva in superbia et in abusione."

"Go mbalbhaítear a mbéal bréagach,
a bhíonn ag cáineadh an fhíréin go sotalach
le teann uabhair is tarcaisne." (Salm 31:19)

"Superbia hominis humiliabit eum, et humilis spiritu suscipiet gloriam."

"Déanfaidh a dhíomas féin fear a threascairt,
ach bainfidh an t-uiríseal ó chroí onóir amach."
(Seanfhocail 29:23)

"Si linguis hominum loquar et angelorum, caritatem autem non habeam, factus sum velut aes sonans aut cymbalum tinniens."

"Má labhraím i dteangacha daoine agus aingeal ach gan aon ghrá a bheith agam, níl ionam ach mar a bheadh prás ag fuaimneach nó ciombail ag clingeadh." (Corantaigh 13:1)

Blíp blíp! Slán abhailí.

quote:

"Muta fiant labia dolosa"

"Vana locuti sunt unusquisque ad proximum suum; labia dolosa in corde et corde locuti sunt.
Disperdat Dominus universa labia dolosa, et linguam magniloquam.
Qui dixerunt linguam nostram magnificabimus: labia nostra a nobis sunt, quis noster Dominus est?" (Psalmus XI)

"Vaines choses parlerent chescuns à sun presme; levres tricherresses, en cuer e en cuer parlerent.
Deperdet li Sire tutes levres tricherresses e langue granz choses parlant.
Chi distrent: La nostre langue magnifierums, les noz levres de nus sunt, chi est li nostre Sire?"

"They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:
Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?"

"Labhraidh gach neach r'a choimhearsnach a bhreug le miodal bèil;
Le cridhe dùbailt' làn do cheilg, sior-labhraidh iad ri chèil'.
Gach beul tha làn do ghabhann tlàth, d'an gnàth bhi leam is leat;
An teangadh bhruidhneach àrdanach sgathar le Dia nam feart.
A thubhairt, Orra bheir sinn buaidh le'r teangaidh fèin a mach;
S' leinn fèin ar beul: cò e an Triath a chuireas sinn fo smachd?"

Insíonn gach aon duine bréaga dá chomharsa
le beola bladair is le croí calaoiseach.

Go dteasca an Tiarna gach aon bhéal bréagach,
gach teanga a bhíonn ag maíomh go sotalach díomasach,
gach dream a deir "Inar dteanga atá ár neart,
linn féin ár mbéal, cé a dhéanfaidh ár smachtú?"
