I'm working on a short piece of fiction where I've used "aeternum vale" as farewell forever, but I'd like to say "forever" as in, no more farewells, this is forever.

I did some research online and came up with "aeternus", "perpetuo" and "aevitas". Are any of those right?

I don't think "semper" is right for the sense you want it in. The idiomatic Church Latin phrase "in saeculi saeculorum" is given the usual English equivalent "for ever" or "for evermore", and therefore almost exactly matches the sense that you want.

Most of the people who translated the Bible king james version spoke and wrote in latin. You would be correct on the part about it not being from Isaiah's lips. If you prefer to read the Bible closer to its original state, which by the way is an excellent idea because there has been a lot of confusion caused by mediocre translation and some meaning lost by misinterpretation, There are bibles out there that have been translated straight from the Hebrew text directly into English. It is a recent development for those translations to be available to everyone. Heylel son of the morning star is as close as I can find.

There are some Classical quotes that cover this situation.
Catullus 101 v 10, on the death of his brother ~
"atque in perpetuum ,frater, ave atque vale"
And so forever, brother, farewell and adieu

Vergil Aeneid xi 97, Aeneas on the death of Pallas ~
"salve aeternum mihi, maxime Palla, aeternumque vale"
brave Pallas, salute for evermore and evermore farewell..

So you can use "in perpetuum" or "aeternum"

How about "semper," always.
