Hi Francky,

This same text was already translated here in second person instead of first.

The beginning is slightly different( "Que todos mis enemigos estén lejos de mí."/"Permite que os teus inimigos estejam longe de..." ) We can translate it IMO!
Two different requesters moreover.
I know you're afraid it to land onto our monkey-wrench corner one of these days, about this point I was wondering : Even if texts are quite similar, slight details may let the translation still be needed by possible requesters who completely ignore the target-language. This is true with texts one's planning to punctually send friends or family with different pronoun-subjects used in similar texts such as "I wish you.../we wish you...". When one's completely ignoring the target-language how could one base oneself on one version at 1st person singular and conjugate the verb at eg : first person plural? Same here with 1st/2nd person singular, ok, in English the only difference stands with the pronouns that are used, but what about the other aimed target-languages, here Arabic and Nepali?

Actually, there are some differences. I'll do it.

it is better to say: "away from me" and "many people will serve me"
