You come to me |
|
Because you believe I can cast off demons |
|
To ward off the evil eye |
|
To nullify some sick sorcery that is upon you |
|
I mix the dung of a dog |
|
Foul canine excrement |
|
With barley flour |
|
Smear it on your shoulders |
|
Cast it from you |
|
And feed it unto you |
|
I have removed the demon Algalmati from you |
|
I have pushed the demon Annamiluli from your skull |
|
I have extinguished fire from your brow |
|
And ignited it in the sorcerer's head |
|
I have driven away the stench of the dog from you |
|
But the dog's excrement |
|
The dog's flesh |
|
The dog's bones |
|
You must utterly consume |
|
Lest the dog's shade |
|
Thinks it may yet return |
|
And will not rest |
|
Relentlessly tormenting you |
|
All the rest of your days |
