What is the Latin translation for the English term "Rest Peacefully"?

I've been looking for an online English to Latin translator but have been unable to.|||The usual phrase is "Requiescat in pace," which literally means "May he/she rest in peace." That's what the "R. I. P" that you see on some old tombstones stands for. If you mean to say it TO someone, it would be "Requiesce in pace." you could also say "Requiescas in pace"--"May you rest in peace."|||Rest peacefully as in "rest in peace" (something you would put on a gravestone, for instance)? If so, 'requiescat in pace'|||Resquiescat in Pace, literally is Rest in Peace. So be careful how you use it!|||Resquiescat in Pace and if you're looking for a translator you're not going to find any babel fish equivalent best bet is one of the dictionary's they have online duke has a pretty nice one.
