Go with God Adiós is Spanish for "goodbye" or "farewell", and comes from and old Spanish phrase "A Dios vais" which you could translate more or less into old English expression "God Speed" - from Middle English "God speed you." (may God help you prosper)- an expression of good will used when talking to someone about to go on a journey, or undertaking a project where he may need God's help, something difficult or dangerous. "Vaya con Dios" literally means "go with God": vaya - second person ("usted" which is a formal "you"), imperative of verb "ir".

con - with

Dios - God Translating a book or a script for a movie you'd use an English equivalent: "may God be with you". Literally translations can be very funny; that's why translation is such an art. Dictionary is not enough especially when you translate phrases; as an example you'd translate English "it's raining cats and dogs" into Polish "żabami bije" - żaba means a frog, bije - hits (so it's hits - or: rains - frogs), same expression - different animals :-) By the way, the expression "God be with you" changed over time into: "good-bye" that we use now. Although "vaya con Dios" it's a Spanish expression, it doesn't mean that they use it in the same way in all Spanish countries. Apparently, in Guatemala they say "que Dios te acompañe" - "may God go with you". In Spain it used to be a popular parting remark but they don't seem to use it in everyday Spanish anymore. Old people use it sometimes, and priests - particularly after confession. There's an interesting article on Language Realm website:

http://www.languagerealm.com/spanish/vaya_con_dios.php they say:

"You'll probably never need to say "vaya con Dios" unless you join the priesthood in Latin America."

"Go with God!" is a literal English equivalent of the Spanish phrase ¡Vaya con Dios! The present imperative is in the second person formal singular to indicate the respect for the wish's recipient and the sincerity of the wish. The pronunciation will be "BA-ya kon dyoss" in Spanish.

I thought "adios" meant only goodbye. There is no word for God included with adios. The phrase "Vaya con Dios" means "Go with God," and I think the question is in error.
