Translation of Angelina Jolie's tattoo in Khmer script

 
Ever wondered what the meaning of that Cambodian tattoo on Angelina Jolie's shoulder? Here's the breakdown.

The tattoo was done by artist Noo (aka Sompong) Kanhphaiin in a hotel in Pathum Thani, 16 miles north of Bangkok. The tattoo is a Buddhist prayer written in Khmer script, the translation is :
May your enemies run far away from you.
If you acquire riches, may they remain yours always.
Your beauty will be that of Apsara.
Wherever you may go, many will attend, serve and protect you, surrounding you on all sides.
