Omdat je aan de mens het vuur geschonken hebt
ben je nu met geweld aan een ravijn gekluisterd.
Het vuur, Prometheus, dat jij aan de mensen gaf,
blijkt nu de brandstof voor een vlam die niet meer dooft,
van woede die bij goden is ontstoken tegen jou.

Since you have given the fire to the human race,
You are now suffering, fastened to a cliff by force.
The fire, Prometheus, which you have kindly given to mankind,
Turned out to be brushwood for an unwearying flame,
For the wrath of gods blazes against you.

Since you have given fire to mankind,
you wear away, being nailed to a cliff by Violence.
The fire, Prometheus, you granted to mortals,
found to be the fuel for an unrelenting fire,
an anger flamed on you by gods.

Ignis, o Prometheu, quem mortalibus gratificatus es,
materia utique-fuit ad indefessam flammam
irae in te a diis incensae.
