Whose first vesture, even thy earliest garment, we take up—may all the Gods befriend and guard thee. Thee, waxing ever, may thy brothers, good increasers, follow with birth in multitude—well-born.
إنَّ لباسَكَ الأوّل—بل ثوبَكَ الأقدم—نأخذه؛ فلتُوالِكَ جميعُ الآلهةِ ولتحرسْكَ. وإيّاكَ، وأنتَ تزدادُ نماءً، فليتبعْ ميلادَكَ إخوتُكَ، المُنمّونَ الصالحون، في كثرةٍ—يا حسنَ المولد.
