EN AI · OpenAI gpt-4o-mini (from scholarly German)
The scribe of the armory of Pharaoh LHG, Mahu, speaks to the scribe Pawehem as follows: This letter of communication has been brought to you for the following reason: Do not be a man who has no understanding (literally: no heart) because he has no education! Or: Do not be a foolish man who has not received any upbringing! If one spends the night teaching you, then one has also spent the day instructing you, because you do not tend to listen to any instruction and you only pursue your (own) plans. The monkey can understand words; (and) it has been brought from Cush. One can teach a lion to perform. (And) one can tame/ride horses. Except for you: No experience has yet been made with your kind among the entire population. Please take note of this. End.
DE scholarly · TLA / ORAEC
Der Schreiber der Waffenschmiede Pharaohs LHG, Mahu, spricht zum Schreiber Pawehem folgendes: Dieses Mitteilungsschreiben ist dir aus folgendem Grund gebracht worden: Sei kein Mann, der keinen Verstand (wörtl.: kein Herz) hat, weil er keine Ausbildung hat! oder: Sei kein törichter Mann, der keine Erziehung (genossen) hat! Wenn man die Nacht damit verbringt, dich zu unterrichten, dann hat man (auch schon) den Tag damit verbracht, dich zu belehren, weil du keinem Unterricht zuzuhören pflegst und du nur deinen (eigenen) Pläne nachgehst. Der Affe kann Worte verstehen; (und) er ist aus Kusch geholt worden. Man kann einem Löwen eine Dressur beibringen. (Und) man kann Pferde zähmen/zureiten. Ausgenommen du: Man hat mit deiner Art noch keine Erfahrung gemacht in der ganzen Bevölkerung. Du sollst das bitte zur Kenntnis nehmen. Ende.
