Help creating a grammatically correct statement


Please pardon my ignorance but I am looking for a grammatically correct way to
say, 'Embrace the void.' in Kanji/hiragana

I've done some research regarding the different methods of writing it but I
have no actual knowledge of japanese sentence structure so I can only surmise
based on what I've read.

I've come up with the following:

擁する虚

Is this fairly accurate or am I totally off?

擁 meaning embrace

擁する meaning 'to embrace' or 'to possess'

And finally 虚 being 'Void' or 'Emptyness'.

I appreciate any assistance!

Thank you




The first translation that came up to my mind was 虚無を抱け. (In hiragana only,
きょむをいだけ; in Latin alphabet, _Kyomu o idake_.)

擁する would be understood from the context, but at least in modern Japanese, 擁する
is usually used in the sense of "(for a company/town/etc) to have
(people/employees/etc)". 抱く is another verb which I think fits better with the
context. And is this sentence meant to be imperative (i.e., an order)? Then
you need the imperative form of this verb, which is 抱け.

虚 is not wrong, but it's too short and may not be understood unless you use it
in [an established
idiom](http://jisho.org/word/%E8%99%9A%E3%82%92%E3%81%A4%E3%81%8F). My
suggestion is 虚無.

擁する虚 happens to be grammatical and mean something like "the void that has
something", but that's not what you want it to mean. Probably you just wrote
down two words as if they were English words? Then you should have been aware
of the fact that word order is totally different between English and Japanese.
In Japanese the verb comes after the corresponding object, and you have to
[mark an object of a verb with a particle `を`
(o)](http://www.punipunijapan.com/grammar-lesson-7-particle-%E3%82%92-o/).
Hence my translation 虚無を抱け. This should work fine in lyrics, poems or such.
Don't use it in everyday speech.
