I think these sentences are in latin, can any body help with the translation?
-Es nil hersel
I think it means I am not worthy
-Domina, nos salve
I think it means master, not slave
the spelling may be incorect

Well as far as I can tell the Latin is :-
Es nil hersel (could this possibly heres?)
You are not heiress/successor (possibly successful but I have been doing Latin 3 yrs so could be wrong)
Domina nos salve
As far as I can see this is good day mistress or something along those lines but I'm not sure where the 'nos' comes in.
If you want to say I am not worthy it is (I think)
sum nil dignus (the phrasing might be wrong)
master not slave is roughly
Dominus, nil servus
I hope this helps although you may want to get someone elses opinion as I'm sure they are not completely correct.
