EN AI · OpenAI gpt-4o-mini (from scholarly German)
Meschenet is like the first time. There is no one who could disregard (literally: injure, harm) what is destined for him. Behold (?), great {are millions of men} 〈is the favor〉 of God (?). Exceedingly mighty is 〈his〉 punishment. Great is his Ba-power. ..., for/and (?) I have seen (his) superiority. (?) His fate (??) will not come upon millions of men (literally: arise). (?) He tends to transform the ignorant into the knowledgeable. What was (once) very hated has been turned into popularity. He tends to ensure that the lowly surpass the great. The (once) subordinate is (now) the first.
DE scholarly · TLA / ORAEC
Meschenet ist wie beim ersten Mal. Es gibt keinen, der mißachten (wörtl.: verletzen, schädigen) könnte, was für ihn bestimmt ist. Siehe doch (?), groß {sind Millionen Männer} 〈ist die Gunst〉 Gottes (?). Überaus gewaltig ist 〈sein〉 Bestrafen. Groß ist seine Ba-Macht. ..., denn/und (?) ich habe (seine) Überlegenheit gesehen. (?) Sein Schicksal (??) wird nicht über Millionen Männer kommen (wörtl.: entstehen). (?) Er pflegt den Unwissenden in einen Wissenden zu verwandeln. Das (einst) sehr Verhaßte ist in Beliebtheit verwandelt. Er pflegt dafür zu sorgen, daß der Geringe den Großen übertrifft. Der (einst) Hintanstehende ist (jetzt) der Erste.
