It is curious that even very experienced translators of Latin do not agree on how to translate this word. It seems that Latin leaves a lot of room for the listener's imagination to adapt to the context of the sentence.
Here are some examples (the one I have chosen for this word is the official translation of the Catholic church):
Dominus Deus Sabaoth → God of power and might http://www.liturgies.net/Prayers/Canticles/tedeum.htm
Dominus Deus Sabaoth → Lord God of Sabaoth → Dios de los ejércitos https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Te_Deum
Dominus Deus Sabaoth → Lord God of Hosts! https://www.preces-latinae.org/thesaurus/Trinitas/TeDeum.html
Dominus Deus Sabaoth → Dios del Universo https://ec.aciprensa.com/wiki/El_Te_Deum
The origin of the latin word "Sabaoth" is hebrew and means "rest" sabbat. https://www.definitions.net/definition/sabaoth
I'm going to leave a "Proofreading requested" and let see if appears a fluent latin translator.

Perhaps is a name of God, like Yahweh amd not an adjective. Saint Epiphanius said is an adjective, meaning Almighty, Powerful God. I believe you should let it untranslated though. Sabaoth. In greek it sounds better , it resonates with ουρανός ( 3 syllables, stress on o ) in this hymn. Άγιος, Αγιος, Αγιος Κύριος Σαβαώθ, πλήρης ο ουρανός και η γη της δόξης σου.

Hi, Flora and Anton. I asked the expert. Here is what Moshe told me:
צבאות - Tzvaot - plural for army - armies, hosts.
אדוני צבאות הוא איתי - the master of armies (or hosts) is with me.
He also suggested me this page https://en-academic.com/dic.nsf/enwiki/18354#Names_of_God
where it says:
YHWH Tzevaot
The name YHWH and the title Elohim frequently occur with the word tzevaot or sabaoth ("hosts" or "armies", Hebrew: צבאות) as YHWH Elohe Tzevaot ("YHWH God of Hosts"), Elohe Tzevaot ("God of Hosts"), Adonai YHWH Tzevaot ("Lord YHWH of Hosts") and, most frequently, YHWH Tzevaot ("YHWH of Hosts").
This compound name occurs chiefly in the prophetic literature and does not appear at all in the Torah, Joshua or Judges. The original meaning of tzevaot may be found in 1 Samuel 17:45, where it is interpreted as denoting "the God of the armies of Israel". The word, in this special use is used to designate the heavenly host, while otherwise it always means armies or hosts of men, as, for example, in Exodus 6:26, 7:4, 12:41.

Yes, literally. But also todopoderoso, almyghty, and whatever recalls the strenght of God's power

Only for the sake of curiosity I've done something that can appear as unorthodox and meaningless:
google : sabaoth todopoderoso About 134,000 results
google : sabaoth ejercitos About 24,500 results
google: sabaoth "Dios del Universo" About 7,600 result
The presence of the word "sabaoth" ensures that the page is dealing with sommething deep :)
The rest of the words select the pages that are trying to do a spanish translation in most cases.
Tough I don't believe in democracy in this context (among so many translators, only those with an advanced level should be considered)
but hey, the winner goes to the translation o:)
Thank you all for your help,
Sabaoth= todo poderoso
