Sukta 2
मा त्वा॑ दभन् परि॒यान्त॑मा॒जिं स्व॒स्ति दु॒र्गां अति॑ याहि॒ शीभ॑म्। दिवं॑ च सूर्य पृथि॒वीं च॑ दे॒वी म॑होरा॒त्रे वि॒मिमा॑नो॒ यदेषि॑
mā́ tvā dabhān pariyā́ntam ājím svásti durgā́m áti yāhi śībhám | dívaṁ ca sū́rya pṛthivī́ṁ ca devī́ mahórātré vimímāno yád éṣi ||
Let none assail thee as thou goest circling on thy course: in welfare pass beyond the perilous strait, swiftly. Heaven and Earth, O Sūrya—(thou) divine—measuring out the great Day and Night, when thou goest.
لا يدنو منك مُعتدٍ وأنت تمضي دائرًا في مسارك؛ اعبرْ بسلامٍ وعافيةٍ المضيقَ الخطرَ سريعًا. السماءُ والأرضُ، يا سُورْيا الإلهيّ—أنت تقيسُ النهارَ والليلَ العظيمين حين تمضي.
