I'm surprised you're basing your translation so heavily on the English. The=
Latin merely means "Let justice be done=2C let the heavens fall"=2C with t=
he connection between the two merely implied. I'd do it with nothing more t=
han a conjunction:
pumjaj Hov=2C 'ach rInjaj ruv.
May the stars fall=2C but may justice be done.

As far as I know we're still not even exactly sure what {vabDot} means=2C d=
o we?
