Hello. I'd go with: "Sum id quod sum." That is the translation typically used in Latin bibles for the phrase "I am what I am." For example, Corinthians 15:10 reads "Gratia autem Dei sum id quod sum," with "Gratia autem Dei" meaning "But by the grace of God" and "sum id quod sum" meaning "I am what I am." http://faculty.acu.edu/~goebeld/vulgata/newtest/1corinthians/v1co15.htm http://www.newadvent.org/bible/1co015.htm ---------- search strategy: My own knowledge of Latin, plus various searches such as: "sum * * sum" "i am what i am" I hope this helps. |

The Latin Vulgate (Exodus 3:14) gives this: "Ego sum qui sum". |

"Ego sum qui sum" may be an acceptable alternate translation, but note that it's usually translated as "I am WHO I am," which differs slighly from "I am WHAT I am." |
