Translation

Ever wonder what the conversation between Father Karras and Regan/Pazuzu translated into? I did, so I went and did some investigating to find out what it all means in English… here is a translation of that scene which occurs the second time Father Karras visits Regan and records her voice. Enjoy!

Regan
mirabile dictu, don’t you agree?
miraculous to talk about, don’t you agree?

Father Karras
You speak Latin?

Regan
Ego te absolvo
I pronounce you clean (forgiven)

Father Karras
Quod nomen mihi est?”
What is my name?

Regan
Bon Jour
Good Day

Father Karras
Quod nomen mihi est?
What is my name?

Regan
La plume de ma tante.”
The pen (or quill) of my aunt.
