If it means "May God bless you and your children," then the Latin should read
Deus vos et vestros liberos benedicat.
(with the hortative/optative subjunctive)

'may' is not a Latin word and also the unusual construction clearly comes from an English sentence translated into "wrong" Latin and then submitted to us as an original Latin phrasing.
I guess the 2 answers you've got are coming out from the same translator on line that had been used to make the Latin sentence....!! That's why they've quoted the same answer...!!

This is the most appalling "Latin" I can ever remember seeing. Trying to get into the mindset of the person who translated from -- presumably -- English, it is probably meant to say (although it doesn't): "May God bless you because of your children."

Man is the craftsman of his fate - The Italian Wikipedia has a translation into Italian of it (Link below translated into English)
