15. sickness, illness-----f. la enfermedad

¿Te dodo, Pam smile , a este hombre para ser su esposo-casados legalmente, para amarlo, consolarlo, el honor y mantenerlo, en la enfermedad en la salud y, renunciando a todos los demás, ser fiel a él durante el tiempo que tanto se vivir?

atxeko's translation: "¿Pam, aceptas a este hombre como tu legítimo esposo, amarlo y respetarlo, de hoy en adelante, en lo próspero, en lo adverso, en la riqueza, en la pobreza, en la enfermedad y en la salud, hasta que la muerte los separe?".

Do you, Pam, take this man to be your lawfully-wedded husband, to love him, comfort him, honor and keep him, in sickness in health and, forsaking all others, be faithful to him for as long as you both shall live?

Someone else did the translation. I wish my Spanish was that good.

"jugar afuera" can be used. Means 'play outside' (the house). So, "no le iba a permitir jugar afuera" or "no iba a permitir que jugara fuera" - 003492fc, Aug 25, 2013
