O you enveloped in clouds, o you who rose high in the winter

The sun is not eclipsed and the darkness follows it

until we achieve our hope of victory over Priam:

Until with our swords we attain hope

and I tear apart the armor of mighty Hector

And the coat of mail of the mighty one I tear it

And around him young men pouncing down

So they bruise the soil from his companions, the arrows

But the son of Cronus did not fulfill that hope;

But he is the son of generations that did not attain hope

he accepted the sacrifice, but made the toil heavier.

He sheltered the victims but the work weighed heavy

And the sacrificer raised the victim's head, and then,

And the slaughterer slaughtered above his head and thus

after flaying it, set its thighs apart.

After skinning him, cut off his thighs

And they ignited the cut up firewood

its blaze flaring around the spits of entrails.

Its blaze with kindling flames ignited

Atreides, lord of lords, then let us rise to

My master's boy so let us rush

a deed the Lord, who has acted, entrusts to us.

To a deed that makes the Lord who did, permit us

Let the heralds of war cry out, gathering

So that the war callers collectively cry

the heroes of battle swiftly beside the ships;

By the ships the heroes of havoc hurriedly

And we all run towards their troops

rousing the war-god's strife and exultation.

Inciting the sedition of the Lord of war and valor
