12 mins confidence:

i bit you peace. Der Friede sei mit Euch/friedvollen Tag

Explanation:
Kann das eine Anspielung auf die im Net oft zitierte Art und Weise eines amerikanischen Fernsehkochs sein, der diese etwas schwülstige Formulierung verwendete, um sich bei seinen Zuschauern zu verabschieden?
In jedem Falle ist das aber wohl nur eine verbose Art, jemandem entweder "einen guten Tag noch" oder "gehab Dich wohl" oder so was zu wünschen. Wollte man das "Friede" beibehalten, was wohl nicht unbedingt notwendig ist, dann vielleicht der kirchliche Segen "Der Friede sei mit Euch" oder etwas weniger kirchlich "friedvollen Tag".
