I'm writing an important spiritual novel that will be published to BethanyHouse that involves Satan, God, the Anti-Christ, a teenager named Matt who works at Taco Bell, and seraphim. I need to know how to say "dark seraphim" in ancient or modern Hebrew so I can name the enemy seraphim. So, can anybody tell me how to say "Seraphim" and "Dark" in Hebrew?

Well, "Seraphim" IS a Hebrew word.
It comes from the word "fire", and its meaning is unknown (some kind of a mythological creature, apparently winged and serpent-like).
"Dark" (in plural form) would be "afelim", or "shkhorim" (that actually means "black"); the "kh" consonant is pronounced like the "ch" in "loch".
Dark Seraphim is either "srafim afelim" [שרפים אפלים], or "srafim shkhorim" [שרפים שחורים]. Both would be fine.
Another possibility is "sirfey ofel" [שרפי אופל], or "sirfey shkhor" [שרפי שחור] (Seraphim of darkness).
Good luck with your novel!

altho u cant trust a literal translation.. it may still sound funky to someone who speaks Hebrew, i would suggest getting as many books on Hebrew language and mythology as the library has! who knows, u might get tons of cool ideas after all that research!! good luck â¥
