EN AI · OpenAI gpt-4o-mini (from scholarly German)
You have behaved like one who is disturbed (?), according to (your) fear of me (?). But I have not become afraid of you: (For) I know your nature. You could certainly respond to me alone and independently/personal, so (I think) (?). But behold, your support stands around you. You have taken care of a numerous $kꜣp$-team of assistants as if you were on the way to the court. Your face is grim when you stand there and flatter those who provide support with the words: "Come with me, so that you may assist me (i.e., help me)." Second month of sowing, [day ...]. You have granted them "gifts" (endowments) in favor of every man, so that {we} 〈them〉 may say to you: "Take courage (lit.: strengthen your heart)! We will defeat him." They sit there and deliberate, namely, the six scribes. You have gone with them 〈to the〉 seventh 〈scribe〉.
DE scholarly · TLA / ORAEC
Du hast dich verhalten wie einer, der verstört (?) ist, gemäß (deiner) Angst vor mir (?). Aber ich habe keine Angst vor dir bekommen: (Denn) ich kenne deine Art. Du könntest mir (gewiß) allein und selbständig/persönlich antworten, so (meine) ich (?). Aber siehe, dein Beistand steht um dich herum. Du hast dich um eine zahlreiche $kꜣp$-Mannschaft an Assistenten gekümmert wie, wenn du auf den Weg in den Gerichtshof wärest. Dein Gesicht ist grimmig, wenn du da stehst und denen, die für Rückendeckung sorgen, schmeichelst mit den Worten: "Kommt doch mit mir, damit ihr mir zur Hand geht (d.h. mir helft)." Zweiter Monat der Aussaat, [Tag ...]. Du hast ihnen "cadeaux" (Dotierungen) gewährt zugunsten eines jeden Mannes, damit {wir} 〈sie〉 dir sagen: "Fasse Mut (wörtl.: festige dein Herz)! Wir werden ihn besiegen." Sie sitzen da und überlegen, (nämlich) die sechs Schreiber. Du bist mit ihnen mitgegangen 〈zu dem〉 sieben〈ten〉 (Schreiber).
