RV 1.108.6

यद् अब्रवम् प्रथमं वां वृणानो ऽयं सोमो असुरैर् नो विहव्यः । तां सत्यां श्रद्धाम् अभ्य् आ हि यातम् अथा सोमस्य पिबतं सुतस्य ॥

yad abravam prathamaṃ vāṃ vṛṇāno 'yaṃ somo asurair no vihavyaḥ | tāṃ satyāṃ śraddhām abhy ā hi yātam athā somasya pibataṃ sutasya ||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

As first I said when choosing you, in battle we must contend with Asuras for this Soma. So came ye unto this my true conviction, and drank libations of the flowing Soma.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
