In li' anyerra-tarah I've given one common usage for a blessing:

lu syara a li' ankhayan po'i  - may the rite singer bless you

And one common usage for a solemn oath

'ay'it a li' atan a li' raya en dusao eme po'i - let the twins the goddesses
do (May the twin goddesses do such)

Combining the two together I get

lu syara a li' atan a li' raya po'i - may the twin goddesses bless you.
