 Dear Kevin,

 The English word "Goodbye" is short for "God be with you". So it does
 not translate CAIRETE; it translates hO KURIOS MEQ' hUMWN or suchlike.

 "The Lord be with you" is normally treated as a Salutation, not a Valediction;
 but can be either. 'Goodbye', is of course always a Valediction.

 Pax vobiscum (et cum spiritu tuo)
 Ben
