Any latin scholars out there?

[Paul]

anyone who can translate [quote] Bonum certamen certavi, cursum consunavi et fidem servavi <hr></blockquote> for me?
TIA

[Willoughby]

There's 2 words in there that I can't make out:


certamen - ?
consunavi - ?

The rest is:

bonum - good
certavi - I have fought
cursum - running
et - and
fidem - trust
servavi - I have saved

I hope that helps you a little bit at least.

"I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith."

It should read "Bonum certamen certavi cursum consummavi fidem servavi."

Extra points to whomever can work out whose words they are. ;)

I don't know if you should get the extra points, what with being a theology student and all... :)

It's from the second of Paul's letters to Timothy. A lot of colleges use a derivation as their motto - "Servo fidem" - "I keep the faith."
