Surge, vade; quia fides tua te salvum fecit.
Arise, go thy way; for thy faith hath made thee whole.
This is the last line of today’s Gospel, Luke 17, 11-19, about the ten lepers. Christ cures them, but only one of them, a Samaritan, returns and thanks Him. Why this sentence?
Salvum: adjective, saved. I picked this sentence to show what translators do. Salvum is translated as “whole”. To be saved is to be whole.
Surge: verb, arise. You’ve heard the English word, “surge”, a verb meaning “to move forward”.
Fides: noun, faith. You’ve heard the US Marine Corps motto, Semper Fidelis, which means “Always Faithful”, and you’ve heard of bona fides, meaning good faith.

This is what speaking in tongues means. Gibberish it is not.
