nobody knows the translation for the answer to "what lies at the shadow....." and what is the egyptian god the jackal headed figure represents?? darn my history lessons.......

The statue had the head of a crocodile not a jackal, so that would make it the god Sobek.

"Sobek's ambiguous nature led some Egyptian to believe that he was a repairer of evil that had been done, rather than a force for good in itself, for example, going to Duat to restore damage done to the dead as a result of their form of death. He was also said to call on suitable gods and goddesses required for protecting people in situation, effectively having a more distant role, nudging things along, rather than taking an active part."

If the statue had the head of a Jackal, then it would have been of Anubis, who is the god of the dead.

"Anubis was the god to protect the dead and bring them to the afterlife. He was usually portrayed as a half human, half jackal, or in full jackal form wearing a ribbon and holding a flail in the crook of its arm["

As far as the translation, here is what I have found:

"Richard's answer to Ilana's question ("What lies in the shadow of the statue?") was in Latin, He said, "Ille qui nos omnis servabit." Translation: "He who will save us all."
