Cirion's Oath

For thosewho like Tolkien's work I would be interested
in seeing their translations (if they have) of
Cirion'd Oath. I include here the Elenyo version, plus
the Quenya and English below it.

James

mehel due célwesten elentta Malyos Élessenta allá

This oath shall stand in memory of the glory of the
Land of the Star, and of the faith of Elendil the
faithful, in the keeping of those who sit upon the
thrones of the West, and of the one who is above all
thrones for ever.
