Hi there,

I was wondering if anyone could please tell me anything about this cup and what the translation might be?

Thank you!

Odd one for sure... i have never seen anything even remotely like it.
Very possible this is the only one... custom made.

According to the last photo it appears to be one of the Eighteen Luohan (Eighteen Arhats). They are the the original followers (disciples) of Buddha.

Raised Pagoda Luohan (Chinese: 托塔羅漢; pinyin: Tuōta Luóhàn)
苏频陀尊者 is his other name (Chinese: 蘇頻陀尊者; pinyin: Sūpíntuó Zūnzhě)

However your cup does not seem to have him with a Pagoda.

Here is the wiki about it. The one featured on your mug is number 4 on the list. I also found an image of him online without a pagoda.
