Hi Serena,
Could you provide a bridge for evaluation, please?
Thanks in advance.

First of all, I think the text should be edited: "Vae vobis, eo" or it is hard to understand.

The bridge is:
"Woe to you, I come"

Edited!

But...is it "I come" or "I go"?

Uhm...
I've used "I come" because I think - according to the note under the original text - here we have a military background. So I've read the sentence as a warning to enemies: "Woe to you, beacause I'm coming to defeat you".
But it's just a supposition...

Hi, Efy and Lilian.

Efy's interpretation is very plausible, she's seen the things through another perspective. Better than mine (litteral), definetely.

So better: ¡Ay de vos!, estoy llegando.

Sí, con relación al verbo estoy de acuerdo, debes cambiarlo, pero no es sólo eso, "vos" es portuñol.

Ah, sí, los "otros". Hace tanto tiempo que no escrebía nada en esa lengua de locos que me había olvidado...
