Title: Latin translation
Description: Looking for serious critique

So as a little side thing, I've decided to attempt to translate some Islamic prayers/texts into Latin. This was my attempt at al-Fatiha (chapter/sura 1 of the Qu'ran).

QUOTE
Exordium Recitio Sacrum
In nomine Deus, misericordi et miserator,
Laus Deo,
Mundum rex,
Misericordi, et miserator,
Dominis Apocalypsis,
Tibi soli colimus,
Et tibi soli auxilium petas.
Nos perducere ad semita recta,
Semita quos favisse te,
Non semita qui incurrisset iram te,
Neque semita qui erraverunt.



The English version:
QUOTE
Opening of the Holy Recitation
In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Praise be to God,
Lord of the Universe,
The Merciful, the Compassionate,
Sovereign of the Day of Judgement,
You alone we worship,
And to you alone we turn for help.
Guide us on the right path,
The path of those you have favored,
Not of those who have incurred your wrath,
Nor of those who have gone astray.



***

Now, my attempt at some prayers:


Laus Deo, omnipotens.
(Praise be to God, the almighty.)

Glorius ad domino meo summum.
(Glory be to my Lord, the most high.)
