He finds (?) [... ...] against him (?). ... ... Speech/talk (?) about him (?) his behavior. Do not seek conflict (lit.: Do not send your heart out to battle)! Be {greedy} 〈unfathomable〉 (?), when you pass over the great family (or: when you go past the great family). (?) Do not separate two men in their anger! (For) against the one who wants to mediate, the conflict turns. He (i.e., the conflict?) tends to [make the two opponents ...] of the mouth. (?) The other (i.e., the one who intervenes?), he acts like an enemy. Calm (lit.: cool) is he who makes his face deaf and does not insult/provoke. It is the man (of rank) (himself) who allows his opponent/adversary (or: the conflict with him) to grow. Happy is he who controls himself in his mouth (or: his speech). (For) in a challenge (or: a battle cry) accusations degenerate. This (sentence) means that it ends well and satisfactorily.

Er findet (?) [... ...] gegen ihn (?). ... ... Rede/reden (?) auf ihm (?) sein Verhalten. Suche keinen Streit (wörtl.: Schicke dein Herz nicht zum Kampf aus)! Sei {gierig} 〈unergründlich〉 (?), wenn du über die Großfamilie hinweggehst (oder: wenn du an der Großfamilie vorbeigehst). (?) Trenne nicht zwei Männer in ihrem Zorn! (Denn) gegen den, der ihn schlichten will, wendet sich der Streit. Er (d.h. der Streit?) pflegt [die beiden Kontrahenten zu ...] des Mundes zu machen. (?) Der andere (d.h. der sich einmischt?), er handelt wie ein Feind. Gelassen/ruhig (wörtl.: kühl) ist, wer sein Gesicht taub stellt und nicht schimpft/provoziert. Es ist der Mann (von Rang) (selbst), der seinen Gegner/Widersacher (oder: den Streit mit ihm) wachsen läßt. Glücklich ist, wer sich in seinem Mund (oder: seiner Sprache) beherrscht. (Denn) in einer Kampfansage (oder: einem Kampfruf) entarten Anschuldigungen. Dies(er Satz) bedeutet, daß es gut und zufriedenstellend (ans Ende) kommt.
