EN AI · OpenAI gpt-4o-mini (from scholarly German)
The singer, who is in the tomb of Osiris, the "overseer of farmers" of the Amun temple, Thotemhab, the justified one, spoke: I have rejoiced for you since you were on earth, as long as your strength existed. Do not cease to act according to your heart until the day of landing (i.e., of dying) comes. As for those who have departed since the time of God: They did not return. One seeks their names through inquiries: (But) there is not a single brick (left) of their houses (or: graves). Their faces do not know the beautiful day to fulfill their wishes (or: Their faces do not know the beautiful day and the following of their wishes). Their possessions have fallen to others. They have gone after they have hurried by. "Oh, if only!" one says. You have heard the words, for what I have told you, I have seen. My heart has ceased (or: My heart has departed) with/in its faintness (?), after I have presented my refrain (?).
DE scholarly · TLA / ORAEC
Es sprach der Sänger, der im (Grab)haus des Osiris, des "Bauernvorstehers" des Amuntempels, Thotemhab, des Gerechtfertigten ist: Ich jubel〈t〉e dir zu, seit du auf Erden warst, solange deine Stärke existierte. Höre nicht auf, nach deinem Herzen zu handeln, bis der Tag des Landens (d.h. des Sterbens) kommt. Was die betrifft, die seit der Zeit Gottes gegangen sind: Sie kamen nicht wieder. Man sucht ihre Name〈n〉 durch Nachfragen: (Aber) es gibt keinen (einzigen) Ziegel (mehr) von ihren Häusern (oder: Gräbern). Ihr〈e〉 Gesicht〈er〉 kennen nicht den schönen Tag, um ihre Wünsch〈e〉 auszuführen (oder: Ihr〈e〉 Gesicht〈er〉 kennen nicht den schönen Tag und das Befolgen ihrer Wünsch〈e〉). 〈Ihr〉 Besitz ist an andere gefallen. Sie sind gegangen, nachdem sie vorübergeeilt sind. "O dass doch!" sagt man. Du hast die Worte gehört, (denn) was ich dir erzählt habe, habe ich gesehen. Mein Herz hat aufgehört (oder: Mein Herz hat sich entfernt) mit/in seiner Mattigkeit (?), nachdem ich meinen Refrain dargebracht (?) habe.
