English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Let him, expelled, go wandering, bereft of all his champions—hateful to friends, to be shunned of his own. And upon the earth the lightnings are hurled down: your fierce god smiteth the rivals utterly.

Translation

Que ele, expulso, vá vagando, privado de todos os seus defensores, odioso aos amigos, evitado pelos seus. E sobre a terra são arremessados os relâmpagos: o vosso deus terrível esmaga por completo os rivais.
