I need a favour from any of the Latin speaking members of the forum.
I attend St. Jude Novena service every week and one of the hymns is in Latin but without an English translation. Could someone translate for me please:

Tantum ergo Sacramentum Venere mue cernui
Et anti quum documentum Novo cedat ritui
Praestet fides supplementum Sensuum defectui

Genitori, Genetoque Laus et Jubilatio
Salus, honor, virtus quoque Sit et benedictio
Procedenti, Ab utroque Comparsit Laudatio

Amen, Amen

Good one! hahaha!!

I think the Latin meant more to me even though I don’t understand latin!
 
I Hope i can help:
“Down in adoration falling,Lo! the Sacred Host we hail, Lo! o’er ancient forms departing, Newer rites of grace prevail: Faith for all defects supplying,Where the feeble senses fail. To the everlasting Father, and the Son who reigns on high, With the Holy Spirit proceeding, Forth from each eternally, Be salvation, honor, blessing, might and endless majesty! Amen.”
This is how it appears in my grandmother’s prayer book.

Machine translations in Latin are almost useless. I have another one that parses word for word and gives options, but I could not get it to work. It is not “calibrated” for ecclesiastical Latin.

It seemed to do a little better, but it did not put it together for you. I set it to “ecclesiastical” Latin, also.

I guess GIGO works for translators, too!

AH HA–I see somebody’s been asking about “my” (cough cough) hymn.

But do I feel OLD. To me (right in the middle of boomerdom being born in 1956), Tantum ergo is one of the “big three” Latin hymns that I had memorized in childhood (the others being O Salutaris Hostia and Panis Angelicus), and the idea that the Latin was not immediately recognizable to any adult Catholic is almost shocking. (Like the 20 something at the FYE store, on hearing of Paul McCartney’s new album, saying, “Who was he?” )

Oh well. I still can’t keep 50 Cent and Nickelback straight.
 
Rather than a translation of the entire hymn, would someone be able to provide a literal translation of “Genitori Genitoque”?

Based on the translations I’ve seen, I can get a sense of the other Latin phrases in the hymn, but I have no idea what “genitori genitoque” means in a literal sense (sorry, but I can’t read machine language).

The words in question are related words, both derived from the verb *geno, genere, genui, genitus -a -um *meaning “to bear, beget”. *Genitor, genitoris is “one who begets, father”; *genitus *is an adjective describing a masculine antecedant who is “born or begotten”. Adjectives are often used substantively, that is as a noun, in this case meaning “a born or begotten male” (or otherwise masculine antecedant).

The endings on both words cast them in the dative, the case of the indirect object, ie meaning “to or for X”. *Genitori *“to the beggetor”; *genito *“to the begotten”.

Finally, the enclitic *-que * which is a way of saying “and” is attached to the second word. Thus:

***Genitori Genitoque *** is literally “To the Beggetor and to the Begotten” which is equally literally (if that makes sense) “To the Father and the Son”.

(* “A mother, one who bears” would be genetrix, genetricis )

PS.
If you’re looking for the Holy Spirit, you will find it in *Procedenti ab utroque *literally: “To the one who proceeds from both of the two”.

Wow, thank you very much for the lesson in Latin. By the way, thanks for pre-answering my follow-up question (where does the Holy Spirit come into play).
 
hey, i found another translation of the Tantum ergo: (albeit a bit more “modern” in wording)

Let us bow in adoration, to this sacrament so great,
Here is new and perfect worship;
all the old must terminate.
Senses cannot grasp this marvel,
faith must serve to compensate.
Glory, honor, adoration, let us sing with one accord.
Blessed be God, almighty Father.
Blessed be Christ, His son, our Lord.
Blessed be God the Holy Spirit,
Triune Godhead be adored. Amen.
