Ban! Ban! Barrier that none can pass,
Barrier of the gods, that none may break,
Barrier of heaven and earth that none can change,
Which no god may annul,
Nor god nor man can loose,
A snare without escape, set for evil,
 Let not the barrier of the gods,
The barrier of heaven and earth, let it go free;
 May the great gods entrap it,
May the great gods curse it;
 Its mouth may they shut;
 At dawn to a place of sunrise may they take it.
