English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Enemy-destruction. Handless be the foe, the assailant: let him be so—those who with armies, warring, advance against us. Deliver them up, O Indra, to mighty slaughter; let their evil-bearer be pierced through, and let them be driven off.

Translation

Pemusnahan musuh. Jadikan musuh, si penyerbu, tak bertangan—biarlah demikian—mereka yang dengan bala tentara, berperang, maju menyerang kami. Serahkan mereka, wahai Indra, kepada pembantaian yang dahsyat; biarkan pembawa kejahatan mereka tertikam tembus, dan biarkan mereka terusir pergi.
