There are actually TWO typos, coleo and aureun - should be cOE lo and aureuM (though frankly, I don't understand the grammar of aureum - would have thought aurum or maybe aurea).
1. Vive ut vivas = live that you may live meaning "live to the fullest." It is popular as a family motto [1]. An alternate translation is "live that you may live forever" [2]. The phrase essentially means that one should live life to the fullest and without fear of a possible future consequence. (Wikipedia)
2. Certior in coelo domus = A surer home in heaven
3. Virtus sibi aureum = Virtue is worth gold to itself
4. Non haec sine numine = approx. ”Not without God's will” (from Virgil’s Aeneid ”non haec sine numine divom eveniunt”, literally ”these things do not occur without the will of the gods”

It is latin. I have three of the four:
Vive Ut Vivas - Live life to the fullest
Virtus Sibi Aureun – Virtue is worth gold in itself
Non Haec Sine Numine – Nothing without God
The second one something about "certainly in the home"...not sure.

Could there be a typo in #2?
Maybe coelo instead of coleo?
Coleo means "scrotum" and coelo means "heaven"
So it's either "Settled in a scrotum home" or "Settled in a heavenly home"
