Recitation with translationAtharva Veda 5.3.2

ágnē mányuṃ pratinudán paréṣāṃ tváṃ no gōpā́ḥ pári pāhi viśvátaḥ | apā́ñcō yantu nivátā durasyávo ’máīṣāṃ cíttaṃ prabúdhāṃ ví nēśat ||

O Agni, thrusting back the wrath of others, be thou our guardian; encompass and protect us from all sides. Let the ill-aiming go away turned backward, with heads bowed down; and do thou scatter—lead off to ruin—their mind, though waking and alert.

O Agni, indem du den Zorn der anderen zurückdrängst, sei unser Hüter; umgib uns und schütze uns von allen Seiten. Mögen die übel Zielenden rückwärts abziehen, mit gesenktem Haupt; und du zerstreue—führe ins Verderben—ihren Geist, auch wenn er wach und wachsam ist.
