EN AI · OpenAI gpt-4o-mini (from scholarly German)
Royal command (to the) Grand Vizier, scribe of the king and overseer [of all] works [of the king] [Senedj]em-ib: (My) Majesty has taken note of this document of yours, which you have made to inform my Majesty [of all that you have done in the design] of the (wall) painting of the Meret sanctuary of (Djedkare)-Isesi, which is located in the construction district of the palace. 〈Ah〉 - can it really be that (my) [heart] will be satisfied with this? It is not (just) talk, (but) it is a matter to truly delight the heart of (Djedkare)-Isesi 〈indeed〉. Let (my) [Majesty] learn the truth of this immediately. [If it] happens so, then (only because) you are one who says what (Djedkare)-Isesi [loves] more than (the talk) of any noble who is in this [land]. (I) know why you are one who is very valuable to me - for (my) Majesty knows that every ship is in [its] best form (i.e., runs on its keel line under your guidance.) Perfect is (for me) the talk of the overseer of all [works] of the king. A joy of the heart for Isesi is it true and truly. Ah [may you come to me], since you have done this matter [so excellently]. You have done it millions of times, so that (my) Majesty loves you, [for] you know that (I) truly love you.

Königsbfehl (an den) Großwesir, Aktenschreiber des Königs und Vorsteher [aller] Arbeiten [des Königs] [Senedj]em-ib: (Meine) Majestät hat dieses dein Schriftstück zur Kenntnis genommen, das du gemacht hast, um meine Majestät [alles das wissen zu lassen, was du gemacht hast beim Gestalten] der (Wand)Zeichnung des Meret-Heiligtums von (Djedkare)-Isesi, das sich im Bau-Bezirk des Palastes befindet. 〈Ach〉 - kann es wirklich so sein, daß (mein) [Herz] damit zufrieden sein wird? Das ist nicht (nur) Gerede, (sondern) eine Sache ist es, das Herz des (Djedkare)-Isesi 〈wirklich〉 zu erfreuen. Laß (meine) [Majestät] die Richtigkeit dessen sofort erfahren. [Wenn es] so geschieht, dann (nur deshalb), weil Du einer bist, der sagt, was (Djedkare)-Isesi [mehr] liebt, als (das Reden) jedes Edlen, der in diesem [Land] ist. (Ich) weiß, warum du einer bist, der sehr wertvoll für mich ist - denn (meine) Majestät weiß, daß jedes Schiff in [seiner] Bestform ist (d.h. auf seiner Kiel-linie läuft unter deiner Leitung.) Vollkommen ist (für mich) das Reden des Vorstehers aller [Arbeiten] des Königs. Ein Feude des Herzens für Isesi ist es wahr und wahrhaftig. Ach [mögest du zu mir kommen], da du diese Sache [dies]bezüglich so trefflich gemacht hast. Du hast es Millionen Mal gemacht, so daß dich (meine) Majestät liebt, [denn] du weißt ja, daß (ich) dich wirklich liebe.
