अच्छा॑ नो मित्रमहो देव दे॒वानग्ने॒ वोच॑: सुम॒तिं रोद॑स्योः । वी॒हि स्व॒स्तिं सु॑क्षि॒तिं दि॒वो नॄन्द्वि॒षो अंहां॑सि दुरि॒ता त॑रेम॒ ता त॑रेम॒ तवाव॑सा तरेम ॥

English translation:
“Divine Agni, reverenced as a friend, who are abiding in heaven and earth, communicate our praise to the gods; conduct the offerer of adoration to domestic felicity; and may we overcome our adversaries, our iniquities, our difficulties; may we overcome those (sins of a prior existence); may we overcome them by your protection.”
Commentary by Sāyaṇa: Ṛgveda-bhāṣya
May we overcome those (sins): the text has tā tarema, may we cross over those, this is interpreted as: janmāntarakṛtāni pāpāni
