Can u please translate this sentence?

Question

And please tell me what language is it?
I find it written in a piece of old paper in the warehouse behind a church:

Gesù cade la prima, sotto la croce.

There is a word after the "prima", but I can`t read it....

Thanks, and Merry Christmas

I know that it is not Spanish!!
I do speak Spanish!!!

Answer 1

Jesus falls the first , under the cross

From the Third Station of the Cross

The word after prima is most likely "volta" (time)

Italian/Latin

Answer 2

I would bet the whole sentence would be:
"Gesu cade la prima 'volta', sotto la croce"

This is Italian and means:
Jesus fell for the first time, under the cross

I'm not sure it's appropriate to get this far ahead at the time Christians celebrate the Child's birth, but anyway....

Takes all kinds. Merry Christmas

Answer 3

This is Italian. It sounds like the words may come from a description of the 'stations of the cross', which has to do with the procession to his crucifiction. If that is the case, the missing word is probably a number in Italian.

Here is a translation of the words you listed:

Jesus falls before, under the cross.

Try babelfish (see below) and you may be able to identify the missing word by translating "first", "second", etc. from English to Italian, and comparing the results to what you found written.

If the word is luago, (first), then this is about the first time he fell under the cross, which is the 3rd station of the cross.

Answer 4

It`s Italian.
Gesu` = Jesus
cade(re) = to fall
la prima = the first
sotto = under
la croce = the cross

Answer 5

this maybe italian, or portugess, please do not quote me but i think i may be talking about some one being the first to fall from a cross. you can try one of the free translation site to see what you come up with

Answer 6

I DONT THINK ITS SPANISH SO IT MUST BE EITHER ITALIAN ,PORTUGUESE OR LATIN LA PRIMA IS THE FIRST OR BEST OR NUMBER ONE

Answer 7

im about as stumped as you are on this one.... sorry. goodluck!
