You did not find the "guide" to provide you with a way to bypass them (the Shasu Bedouins). You decided to go forward. (But) you did not know the way. You undertook the "ébourrifanteste" (most hair-raising) thing (?); your head is (completely) "gedecoiffeurt" (disheveled/messed up). [Your Ba lies] in your hand (i.e., you are half dead from fear). The path is full of boulders and rubble. There is no walkable path (?), (so much so that it is) overgrown with "Juniperus" (?) and "arbustes à épines" (?; thorny bushes?) and endangered by "Wolfstatzen" plants.

Du hast den "guide" nicht gefunden, damit er dir eine Möglichkeit, sie (die Schasu-Beduinen) zu umgehen, bewerkstelligt. Du hast dich entschieden, vorwärts zu gehen. (Aber) du kanntest den Weg nicht. Du hast die "ébourrifanteste" (haarsträubendste) Sache (?) unternommen; Dein Kopf ist (völlig) "gedecoiffeurt" (zersaust/durcheinander). [Dein Ba liegt] auf deiner Hand (d.h. du bist halb tot vor Angst). Der Weg ist voll mit Felsbrocken und Geröll. Es gibt keinen begehbaren Pfad (?), (so sehr ist er) mit "Juniperus" (?) und "arbustes à épines" (?; Dorngestrüpp?) bewachsen und durch "Wolfstatzen"-Pflanzen gefährdet.
