"There is only one god, and His name is Death. And there is only one thing we say to Death: 'not today',"

Hello, awesome people! Can someone please help me with this one too? I know it may be a little tough but any help would be greatly appreciated, as usual! This is a classic Game Of Thrones line, of course!

"There is only one god, and His name is Death. And there is only one thing we say to Death: 'not today'."

Also, if you can also let me know what the translation for simply "Not today" is, that would be awesome. Thank you!

Seeing the first words of the title, "There is only one god, and..." I thought it was going to go "Muhammad is his messenger".

"There is only one god, and His name is Death. And there is only one thing we say to Death: 'not today'." = Unus est deus, cui nomen est Mors. Unumque Morti dicimus: "non hodie".

Or perhaps, since mors, "death", is grammatically feminine in Latin, it would be more intuitive to make it a goddess: Una est dea...

NP.

So just not today death would be

Non hodie mors

Do I have that correct?

Very literally, yes.
