Tell if I'm wrong, but I am guessing that is pronounced something like this:

yaushash dauv aasita

And it should mean "Jesus is god."

I would write the pronunciation as: yeshu dev asti.

If you switch google translate to Hindi, it will do a reasonable approximation of the Sanskrit pronunciation. There aren't many good resources on Sanskrit that come with audio. I found a book + CD about pronouncing Sanskrit, but the accent was horrible, just so very American sounding. The only course I know of that has good audio is Assimil le Sanskrit, which uses native speakers and begins with conversational Sanskrit. Unfortunately for some, it is only available in a French base. But even if you don't know French, working through the text + audio would be very useful.

Apparently ः is the nominative marker in Sanskrit, so wouldn't it be yeshuḥ devaḥ asti?

OP, you can use this site to transliterate but once you know Devanagari well, Sanskrit is pronounced exactly like how it's written, unlike Hindi, where schwas are sometimes deleted.

Yes, I think you're right. If I remember correctly, the Assimil audio used more of a "huh" sound for words ending in ः , so they would have said yeshuhuh devahuh.

That nominative marker, is it the almost circular thing below and at the end of the word for Jesus, yeshuH? Or did I make a mistake of omission?

Yes, it's the diacritic that looks like a colon / two tiny circles after शु
