Welcome to the forum.
A quick check of our "translate" feature at the top of the page, or our dictionary or our Phrasebook will give you the translation "word for word".
I hope this helps, and feel free to browse around the site and take advantage of our translation tools.

Also "according to the letter of ..." (often used in legal contexts).
