A Translation question

[Ibn Albanna]

I was wondering what would be the proper latin translation for "God's
Musical Messenger" in Latin. Also could anyone help me with the phrase
"God's messenger" in latin?
Thank you.

In his 1698 translation of the Qur'ân into Latin, Marracci renders "rasûl"
(Messenger) as "legatus", and "rasûlullâh" (God's Messenger) as "legatus
Dei".

I don't know what you are referring to by "God's Musical Messenger". In that
context, "legatus" might not necessarily be the most appropriate translation
of "Messenger".

Nuntius Cantorus Dei

[God's singing messenger]

[Giljoyroy]

"Angelus Dei" would be an excellent candidate for your translation, based on
the fact that "angelus" is cognate (an probably the child of) the Greek
"aggelos", messenger. In Luke 1, 26 we read "In mense autem sexto missus est
angelus Gabriel." The original Greek has "o aggelos Gabriel..."

Thank you. The context would probably be "singing" messenger. Musical
in the sense it would be describing a person's role on earth.
Destiny..duty from God. The term "Musical" would also be a
charactersitic inherit in the person but not nessesarily purely vocal
or "singing". With this all considered: Is "Nuntius Cantorus Dei"
still a valid translation?
