The text is written in Latin. Latin is very sensitive to context, so the text can be translated in a couple of different ways. According to Professor Thomas Ruggles from Northern Arizona University, the most likely translation is as follows:
"FINIS PER SOMNIUM REPERIO TIBI SACRA COR VENEFICUS OSTIUM AURUM" translates to "Comes the end by sleep, I will [p]repare for you the Sacred Heart which is the magic that opens upon the alter."
