English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

A bringing-down. The tawny, fair-winged (Sun) mounteth heaven with radiance; those who would fain harm thee as thou springest upward to the sky—smite them down with fiery might, O Jātavedas; feared, fierce with thy flame, ascend thou unto heaven, O Sūrya.

Translation

【Bài chú làm cho khuất phục】Đấng màu vàng, cánh đẹp (Sūrya—Mặt Trời) lên cõi trời bằng hào quang rực lửa; những kẻ muốn hại ngươi khi ngươi vút lên trời—hãy đánh quật chúng xuống bằng uy lực của lửa, hỡi Jātavedas! Đấng đáng sợ, dữ dội với ngọn lửa của mình—hỡi Sūrya, hãy thăng lên cõi trời.
