“I loved justice and I hated iniquity, so I die in exile”.
Dilexi and odivi can't be translated as in a previous answer
since they're simple past (not past perfect).

It's Latin and it means "I've loved justice and hated injustice: for this reason I die in exile"...you're welcome!
EDIT:
I'd like to point out that translating "dilexi" and "odivi" using the present perfect is by no means a mistake, as the Latin language wouldn't make a distinction between "I have loved" and "I loved". How sad that someone who (has?) studied Latin for 10 years should feel the need to make such a silly remark!

Maybe it's worth remnarking that these were the alleged dying words of pope Gregory VII:
