EN AI · OpenAI gpt-4o-mini (from scholarly German)
Meschenet is as at her 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 him (literally: arise). (?) He tends to transform the ignorant into a knowledgeable one. What was (once) very hated has been turned into popularity. He tends to ensure that the lowly surpasses the great. The (once) one who stood back is (now) the first. The (once) dispossessed is (now) lord of wealth.
DE scholarly · TLA / ORAEC
Meschenet ist wie bei ihrem 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 ihn 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. Der (einst) Besitzlose ist (jetzt) Herr von Reichtümern.
