Putting your request in a new thread might yield better results, but who knows.

'Jesus vandt og jeg har vundet' translates: 'Jesus won and I have won.'
(As it is past tense and past pariticiple, you're not likely to find it in a dictionary. The other problem is that it is old Norwegian, so the spelling is still Danish.)
It is the concluding line of the Easter hymn by Johan Nordahl Brun (1745-1816) "Jesus lever, graven brast" (Jesus lives, the grave burst) based on 1 Cor 15;54. If the current Danish form will do you, you can find it at Den Danske Salmebog Online - Salme 233
