Default Translation Please

Hi, Could someone translate the Calligraphy on this Katari blade? I'd love to know what it says. Any thoughts about it's age range? It came from Thailand so it's traveled a bit no sheath just the dagger. Thanks, Steve

Hi archer
tomorrow, you will get your translation ... but
don't expect some names, or date, just, religious mentions
at least you will know what is writing

Dom, Thank you very much. I always love the way you add the translation to the photo and some day I hope to be so clever adding type to photos. Kind regards, Steve
