The turning-back of witchcraft: what they have wrought against thee in a raw vessel, what they have wrought in mixed grains, what witchcraft they have wrought in raw flesh—that I take and bear back again against them.
किसी ने तुम्हारे ऊपर काला जादू किया है। वो कच्चे बर्तन में जादू किया, या धान में मिला के। या कच्चे मांस में जादू किया। मैं अब उस पूरे जादू को वापस कर देता हूँ उनपे। जो बुरा किया है वो अब उनपे पड़ेगा।
