Sukta 33
यासां॒ राजा॒ वरु॑णो॒ याति॒ मध्ये॑ सत्यानृ॒ते अ॑व॒पश्य॒न् जना॑नाम्। या अ॒ग्निं गर्भं॑ दधि॒रे सु॒वर्णा॒स्ता न॒ आपः॒ शं स्यो॒ना भ॑वन्तु
yā́sāṃ rājā́ váruṇo yā́ti mádhye satyā́nṛte avapáśyan jánānām | yā́ agníṃ gárbhaṃ dadhiré suvarṇā́s tā́ na ā́paḥ śáṃ syónā bhavantu
In whose midmost space King Varuṇa moves, looking down on men, discerning truth and falsehood;—the Waters which have set Agni as an embryo within them, those golden Waters—may they be for us kindly, bringing weal.
في وسطها يسير الملك ڤارونا (Varuṇa)، ناظرًا إلى الناس من علٍ، مميِّزًا بين الصدق والكذب؛—أيتها المياه (Āpaḥ) التي جعلت أغني (Agni) جنينًا في أحشائها، تلك المياه الذهبية—لتكن لنا مُواتيةً، مُنْعِمَةً بالخير.
