You will {find} 〈your〉 place [in the temple: your food will consist of the offerings of your lord.] [You will play the role of a provided/honored one; your coffin will] conceal you; [you will be preserved from the (punishing) power (manifestation) of God.] [Do not cry "Crime!" regarding [a man!] [Keep the circumstances of the flight (or: the state/plan of the fugitive) secret/hidden!] [Whether you (now)] hear the good [or the bad: deal with it outside (i.e., not officially?; or: handle it like a stranger(?))!] It [has not even been heard.] Ninth [Chapter]: [He (i.e., the hot-headed one) tears down and builds up with his tongue;] he [will surely] say abominable things. [He gives an answer that deserves a beating, because] its (i.e., the answer's) [result (?) means harm.] [He makes a journey among (or: like) humanity; (but) he is loaded 〈with〉 words] of injustice; he is like a ferryman of words; he [comes and goes with strife.] He [tends] to eat and drink inside, while [his answer (i.e., his reaction to the invitation to eat?) is outside.] As for the day of the determination of his offenses: (that means) sorrow for [his children.] [May Chnum thus] enter again and again (?), the potter of the hot-headed one: [(For) it is to] distract (the hearts [(from evil) (?) that he (kneads the clay)]. He (i.e., the hot-headed one) is like the young of a "wolf [jackal" in the camp.] [He turns] one eye against the other. He lets siblings [quarrel.] [He goes before] every [wind] like a disease. He harms/destroys his color (or: his essence) in the sunlight. [He gathers/holds together his tail] like the young of a crocodile. He makes the one whom [he] touches into a cripple (?). [His lips are sweetened; 〈his〉 tongue is bitter/caustic (?); the fire lo[ths in his belly.] [Do not fly away to devour] those, so that the terror (of God) does not take you away.

Er läßt Geschwister [sich streiten/zanken.] [Er geht vor] jedem [Wind] wie eine Krankheit. Er schädigt/zerstört seine Farbe (oder: sein Wesen) im Sonnenlicht.

(Das ist) der Abscheu des Gottes. Trenne nicht [dein Herz von] deiner [Zunge], damit alle deine Pläne Erfolg haben werden, damit [du] gewichtig wirst [vor den] Anderen, wobei du wohlbehalten in (oder: vor?) der Hand des [Gottes] bist. [Gott ha]sst [das Verfälschen der Worte.] Das größte Tabu ist der 〈innere〉 Aufruhr (wörtl.: das Leiden des Leibes). Elftes Kapitel: [Begehre] nicht [eine Sache von einem armen Abhängigen, ...]
