English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

If waking, if in sleep, I have wrought offence—then from that, from what is done and what shall yet be, may I be loosed, as from a wooden block.

Translation

Nếu khi thức, nếu trong giấc ngủ, ta đã gây lỗi lầm, thì từ điều ấy—từ việc đã làm và cả việc sẽ còn xảy đến—xin hãy cởi trói cho ta, như người được tháo khỏi khúc gỗ bị khóa chặt.
