Question
Hi Maria. I need help with a few translations please. How
do I say "God of vengeance" "Eternal God" and "The Eternal"
in Latin? Thank you for your time.

Answer
Hello,

Here are the translations you asked me:

-“Deus vindictae” ( God of vengeance).
-“Aeternus Deus” (Eternal God).

As for “The Eternal”, it  translates in the same manner  as “Eternal God “, that is “Aeternus Deus”.

Regards,
Maria

Note that:

-God = DEUS (subject in the nominative case, 2nd.declension)
-of vengeance = VINDICTAE (indirect object in the genitive case of VINDICTA, 1st.declension)
________________________________________________________________

-Eternal = AETERNUS (nominative masculine agreed with the subject DEUS)

-God = DEUS (see above)
