Archers, be archers; let us win, archers; with fierce bows may we conquer together. The bow makes wide the foe’s desire and fulfils his will; archers everywhere, let us win over all lands.
May we conquer the cattle (of the enemies) with the bow; with the bow may we be victorious in battle may we overcome our fierce-exulting (enemies) with the bow; may the bow disappoint the hope of the foe; may we subdue with the bow all (hostile) countries.
With Bow let us win kine, with Bow the battle, with Bow be victors in our hot encounters. The Bow brings grief and sorrow to the foeman: armed with the Bow may we subdue all regions.
