[so that] they [who seek to learn the unknowable] should not be able to overhear the host on high, but shall be repelled from all sides,

(So) they should not strain their ears in the direction of the Exalted Assembly but be cast away from every side,

They cannot listen to the Highest Chiefs for they are pelted from every side,

They cannot listen to the exalted assembly and they are reproached from every side,

[So] they may not listen to the exalted assembly [of angels] and are pelted from every side,
