Can anyone translate this latin for me?

Adelphus adelpha mater
alle huius thugater
dedranti thanataliter


Blepomen agialos
nicatos dodrantibus
sic mundi et uitam huius


Calesomen Dominum
uti det boulen suum
nobisque auxilium


Didaxon sapiture
touto biblion acute
non debes reticere


Eqonomicum expensum
habemus apud Deum
si autou metamus auctum


Fallax est uita mundi
decidit ut flos feni
permanet regnum Dei


Gibro praxon agathon
deuita athemiton
ut sis fretus in Sion


Hupage de auido
habita in Qurii nomo
ut sis heres in Papho


Index demus est Dei
qui semper seruiens ei
erit in sceptro poli


Kallistratus mantiae
in martirio tempore
deficit ut uiolae


Lamach est limne adou
ubi amartus amentu
dusmi ictatur in luctu


Mittes hunc tete ad bethen
postquam transit in ten gen
soma aporesomen


Nuktalgicus est gibra
et ophthalmus ut talpa
non agens Dei mandata


Olla Adonai Abba
Galileos in anctera
bellantes defendit pelta


Phile poeson opera
quae Deo fuerint placita
ut sis Laisae incola


Qurius anomias ou
apolit agion autou
soson me o theus mou


Rachas est gibro merus
agonitheta phronimus
qui sine labe sit iustus


Sarxa nostra alitur
kalis postea agitur
malis luibus moritur


Thaumazo in mente mea
me pos idon in terra
anthropon sine macula


Vonite proton amomum
asarum nitentem ad bamum
agia pax et amen secum


Xenodochium presules
breue in te ge habentes
acarpam aggam agentes


Yta Abba poterion
suscepit periranton
pro redemptione anthropon

[Martinus]

   Gosh!

 

I'll have a go when I have a bit more time...

 

...but...

 

From first glance... there seem to be a lot of words in there that don't look very Latin to me...

 

What is the source of this?

  Apparently there's 77 Greek words in that poem, 17 Hebrew words.

No wonder I couldn't translate it from my limited knowledge of latin

[Mernoc]

here are further details on the text, confirms what you have found Pat

By a learned Irish cleric. Howlett, op. cit. 48, tentatively suggests Israel Grammaticus, fl. 947

Most of the text is in Latin; much in latinised Greek, some in Hebrew.

 

77 Greek words in latinised form, of which 9 are hellenized Hebrew.

 

17 words in Hebrew, 9 of which are in hellenised form.

Cambridge, University Library, MS Gg.5.35, folio 420a-b, saec. XI med., from St Augustine's, Canterbury Saint-Omer, Bibliothèque municipale, MS 666, folio 43-rv, saec. X, from Saint Bertin
