EN AI · OpenAI gpt-4o-mini (from scholarly German)
The king of Upper and Lower Egypt Neferirkare appeared as king of Lower Egypt on the day of 'The front of the god's ship is seized.' While the Sem-priest Ra-wer was before his majesty in his dignity as Sem-priest and steward of the handkerchief, the Ams-scepter, which was in the hand of his majesty, came against the foot of the Sem-priest Ra-wer. His majesty said to him: May you be unharmed. His majesty said: Behold, his majesty had (already earlier) said: Desired by my majesty is that he be very unharmed (and) that nothing happens to him. Behold, he is regarded by his majesty more than any man. His majesty commanded (it=the said) to be placed/set as a document on his tomb, which is in the necropolis. His majesty caused him [to issue] a document thereof, written in the presence of the king himself at the (writing) office of the palace, to record according to the said in his tomb, which is in the necropolis.

Der König von Ober- und Unterägypten Neferirkare erschien als König von Unterägypten (am) Tag des 'Das Vordertau des Gottesschiffes wird ergriffen'. Während der Sem-Priester Ra-wer vor seiner Majestät in seiner Würde des Sem-Priesters (und) Verwalter des Taschentuchs war, kam das Ams-Zepter, das in der Hand seiner Majestät war, gegen den Fuß des Sem-Priesters Ra-wer. Seine Majestät sagte zu ihm: Du mögest unversehrt sein. Seine Majestät sagte: Siehe, seine Majestät hatte (schon früher) gesagt: Gewünscht von meiner Majestät ist, dass er sehr unversehrt sei (und) nichts ihm zustoße. Siehe, er ist bei seiner Majestät angesehen mehr als irgendein Mann. Seine Majestät befahl (es=das Gesagte) zu legen/setzen als Schriftstück auf seinem Grab, welches in der Nekropole ist. Seine Majestät veranlaßte ihm [auszustellen] ein Schriftstück davon, geschrieben in Gegenwart des Königs selbst auf dem (Schreib-)Revier des Palastes, um niederzuschreiben gemäß dem gesagten in seinem Grab, welches in der Nekropole ist.
