The Old English should be:
Mīn sweord biþ mīn līf
or
Mīn sweord is mīn līf
The correct sentence should have nominative noun phrases on both sides of the verb. The current sentence, "Sweorde mīnum biþ līfe mīnum," has both subject and predicate in the dative case. Note that the choice of _is_ versus _biþ_ is a matter of mere OE dialect.
