I don't think the Latin text is ok because of this detail, and in the online dictionnary I used, it isn't mentionned if the verb "diligere" has to be followed with an object word declensed at dative, or accusative (deum diligere)even the vocative declension would be "DEI", wouldn't it be? | | |

This sentence, as is, is from Bacchides by Plauto (250-184 B.C.), as stated here.
The declension of noun "deus" in Latin is pretty irregular, and seems to have changed over centuries. Anyway, reading that Wikipedia article, "DI" seems to be in the nominative PLURAL - so, I'll edit my translation to plural too. The sense was wrong, too: there are the gods that love, not the one who will die young. | | |
