Sukta 3
अ॒हो॒रा॒त्रैर्विमि॑तं त्रिं॒शद॑ङ्गं त्रयोद॒शं मासं॒ यो नि॒र्मिमी॑ते॒ तस्य॑ दे॒वस्य॑ । क्रु॒द्धस्यै॒तदागो॒ य ए॒वं वि॒द्वांसं॑ ब्राह्म॒णं जि॒नाति॑ । उद् वे॑पय रोहित॒ प्र क्षि॑णीहि ब्रह्म॒ज्यस्य॒ प्रति॑ मुञ्च॒ पाशा॑न्
ahorātráir vímitaṃ triṃśád-aṅgaṃ trayodaśáṃ mā́saṃ yó nirmímīte tásya devásya | kruddhásyaitád ā́go yá eváṃ vidvā́ṃsaṃ brāhmaṇáṃ jinā́ti | úd vepaya rohita prá kṣiṇīhi brahmajyásya práti muñca pā́śān
He who by day-and-night measured out the month of thirty parts, yea even the thirteenth month, who meted it forth—of that God. This is the offence against that wrathful God, whoso thus wrongs a knowing Brahmin. Make him quake, O Rohita; waste him away; against the Brahmin-hurter loose back the nooses.
ព្រះអង្គដែលបានវាស់វែងដោយថ្ងៃនិងយប់ នូវខែដែលមានភាគទាំងបីសិប ព្រមទាំងខែទាំងដប់បីផង ដែលបានវាស់វែងវាចេញ នៃព្រះជាម្ចាស់នោះ។ នេះគឺជាអំពើបាបចំពោះព្រះដែលមានកំហឹងនោះ ៖ ជនណាដែលបំពានចំពោះព្រាហ្មណ៍ដែលមានចំណេះដឹង។ ចូរធ្វើឲ្យគេញាប់ញ័រ ហៃព្រះរោហិតា ចូរកម្ទេចគេចេញ ចូរលែងខ្សែព័ន្ធទៅលើអ្នកដែលបំពានព្រាហ្មណ៍។
