And now may we be possessed of fortune; and in the foretime, and in the midst of days. And at the Sun’s uprising, O bounteous one, may we be in the gods’ good favor.
Und jetzt mögen wir vom Glück begabt sein; auch in der Vorzeit und in der Mitte der Tage. Und beim Aufgang der Sonne, o Freigebiger, mögen wir in der guten Gunst der Götter sein.
