Answer 1

As you know, we don't do translations without you first having a go at them.

I think a lot of these can be found either in the dictionary or online.

Answer 2

Matar por la espada= to kill by sword Cerrar las manos= to close the(your) hands La cinta se acaba=the tape is gone...the tape runs out Juzgar con mirar=to judge by looking at?

I helped with the ones that I could :D
