hey everyone,

I'd been trying to figure out a way to incorporate a verse I found in the Bible as a tattoo.

The verse is Song of Solomon 8:6 (I hope I referenced that right) and basically says...

"I will set you as a seal upon my heart,
as a seal upon my arm
For love is as strong as death
and Jealousy as demanding as the grave"

there is more to it but I don't think I want to put the entire book on my arm. However, I felt that putting it English, or even Hebrew was just not what I was looking for and the thought to put it in an Elven script came to mind.

My problem is how do I translate those lines into Quenya? Can someone help me out or point me in the right direction. The english to elvish translators online aren't very helpful so far.

thanks!!!

Why that verse? You should get a tattoo of Leviticus 19:28.

yea....or i could get the verse that I actually want, the Song of Solomon one.

which incidentally I translated on my own.

Panyuvanyel ve tengwe endanyanna
ve tengwe rancunyanna
an melme na tulca ve nuru
nwalca ve i hahta

No man, Leviticus 19:28 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Leviticus%2019:28;21:1-5;%20Deuteronomy%2014:1;%20Jeremiah%2016:6,7;41:5) would be WAY cooler.
