Do we have a translation for the engraving? The closest I'm able to get anything out of is Latin(using online translators, and trying the V-for-U swap in places), which is coming out to "And the world is flesh", which I'm assuming is wrong(I also have no clue what I'm doing).

"And the word became flesh", part of Christian scripture.
