This is from Ovid's Metamorphoses (Bk VIII).

The literal translation is:

Care of the gods, may they be gods, and they who honored, let them
be honored.

It refers to Baucis and Philemon, who showed hospitality to the disguised
Jupiter and Apollo when all their neighbors refused. They were honored
in return.
