What is the Latin translation of 'Do unto others as you would have others do unto you'?

Answer 1

Oh, dude, that's like some fancy old-school stuff. The Latin translation of 'Do unto others as you would have others do unto you' is "Quod tibi fieri non vis, alteri ne feceris." So, basically, treat others how you want to be treated, but in a more ancient, sophisticated way.

Answer 2

Ah, what a beautiful sentiment! In Latin, "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you" can be translated as "Fac aliis quod vis tibi fieri." It's a wonderful reminder to treat others with kindness and compassion, just like you would want to be treated yourself.

Answer 3

This phrase is known as "The Golden Rule" and shows up in The Bible in St. Luke 6:31 as "And as you would that men should do to you, do you also to them in like manner" (Douary-Rheims, Challoner edition).

In the Latin Vulgate this passage reads "et prout vultis ut faciant vobis homines et vos facite illis similiter"

A literal translation would run "Fac aliis prout vultis ut alia tui faciant."

It is also worth mentioning that the same sentiment is rendered in the Bhagavard Gita and texts concerning Buddha and Taoism. From the Latin Vulgate Bible:

Luke 6:31

et prout vultis ut faciant vobis homines et vos facite illis similiter

And just as you wish others to do for you, do also the same for them.

Matthew 7:12

omnia ergo quaecumque vultis ut faciant vobis homines et vos facite eis haec est enim lex et prophetae

So in all things, whatever you wish others to do for you, do also for them these things, for it is the Law and the Prophets.
