Might I offer: Iuvenes delinquunt quod bibunt in qua fluit plumbum aquam. It's funky with its syntax, but it works. It translates to: Youth are failing because they drink water in which flow …

There is an actual word decipula, which means "a snare; a trap" and comes from the word decipio, which means "to ensare; to trap; to cheat." While qwertxyz is right about Lily's passage, I think there …

As brianpck notes in the comments, the Latin is ungrammatical. It looks like someone tried to use a word-for-word translation on the Spanish to get the Latin to make it sound "loftier." But that doesn …

Vitium is the best word here. Paccatum is the actual action, but you're describing the thing that leads to the action, and that's vitium, your personal failing/fault/flaw. You can hardly put it better …

It's strange without context but not impossible to say: I, the wife of Julius, see the omens and he [presumably Julius] has no hope. Makes sense for a translation exercise, I suppose. It is also pos …

Herennius is a name, and the text is dedicated to him. He is otherwise unknown to history, however. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herennia_gens#Members

Mittimus Vobis, writes [rector] B., hominem crassioris pituitæ, hebetioris ingenii et fallacis nimium labilisqve memoriæ, sed cetera non improbum, non perversum, non malitiosum This is translated as …

It sounds to me like it's saying militaribus avidis incredulitate. A quick Google search doesn't show me any hits for anything important, so maybe I'm mishearing, or maybe it's nothing really at all. …

There is such a name as Christophorus Lafranchini, though the years don't match, so they're not the same person. Pinxit is the Latin for "painted," and An~ here is likely anno meaning "in the year." S …

The short of it is that we don't know for sure. There are actually two issues with this word. One, it's a hapax legomenon, which means it only occurs once in all of Latin literature, and that is in Pl …

It's a bit tricky to get this succinctly in English, but it essentially means "a/the life is dead (but when it was alive, it had lived well." You can see this doesn't make any sense. The verb vivere i …

This a bad transcription of fake Latin made by someone who knew no Latin at all for a government website which, if I didn't know otherwise, I would have sworn was a crack group of cranks. Actually, I …

That "U" is probably a "D": rem ordine pando. This is a quote from Vergil's Aeneid 3.179 and means "I explained the whole thing [i.e. the whole story] in order."

Wikipedia not only explains the concepts, but translates the phrase several different ways. The one I hear most often is "with all else being equal," which also was the top answer on ELL.

I fixed your Latin for you, assuming the text I was using is right. At the very least, unction and taxation are English, not Latin, words, but mera inventio is a possibility. If it's vera, like the t …
