| ما يأمر عليك ظالم ولا عدو May no one judge you, no tyrant, no enemy. Explanation: My attempt might be a relatively exact translation of the idiom (in case it's an idiom), but it's also a bit figurative. You can decide better if it fits your situation or not. :) |

God bless you - may you be safe from tyranny Explanation: This is a figure of speech from Levantine Arabic, and it has no equivalent in English (as far as I know, at least) so you can opt for something else that would sound natural to go along your translation. You can opt for "God bless you" or "May God keep you safe" which are generic, or you can go for something a bit more literal like "may God keep you safe from the harm of tyranny and enemies" if you think delivering the exact meaning is a must.
