English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

With kine may we pass beyond the evil-minded plot, with barley too—or hunger itself—O Much-invoked, all ye Powers. Among kings may we be first; may we win the riches, unhurt, conquering with our bands.

Translation

Con vacas podamos pasar más allá de la trama de mala intención, con cebada también —o el hambre misma—, oh Muy-invocado, oh todas las Potencias. Entre los reyes seamos los primeros; ganemos las riquezas, ilesos, venciendo con nuestras huestes.
