I, prudent, bringing power, a treasure-winner, with amicable
eye that strikes no terror,
Come, praising and kind-thoughted, to these houses: be not
afraid of me, be glad and joyful.
Let these delightful Houses that are rich in power and store of
milk,
Replete with wealth and standing firm, become aware of our
approach.
These Houses we invoke, whereon the distant exile sets his
thought,
Wherein dwells many a friendly heart: let them beware of our
approach.
Thus greeted, ye of ample wealth, friends who enjoy delightful
sweets.
Be ever free from hunger, free from thirst! Ye Houses, fear us
not.
Kind greeting to the cattle here, kind greeting to the goats and
sheep!
Then, of the food within our homes, kind greeting to the plea-
sant drink!
Full of refreshment, full of charms, of laughter and felicity,
Be ever free from hunger, free from thirst! Ye Houses, fear us
not.
Stay here, and come not after me: prosper in every form and
shape.
With happy fortune will I come! Grow more abundant still
through me!
