[Behold, good is] your frequent sending forth, so that you hear the words of the high officials. [May you] take on the form of the children of (notable) men [whose] footsteps you follow. One recognizes a (good) scribe by listening, because listening leads to {heroism} 〈contentment〉. Stand up (or: rise) at a word of [welcome] (?)! Urge your legs to haste (lit.: be swift, as for your legs) when you walk, without being (too) trusting! Associate with one who is more exalted than you! Befriend a man who belongs to your generation. Pause. Behold, Renenet (or: the personification of fortune/wealth) is on the way of God. [The Renenet of the scribe is] on his shoulder on the day [of his] birth.
[Siehe, gut ist] dein häufiges Ausgesandt-Werden, so daß du die Worte der hohen Beamten hörst. [Mögest du] die Gestalt der Kinder der (bedeutenden) Menschen [annehmen], in deren Fußstapfen du gehst. Am Zuhören erkennt man einen (guten) Schreiber, indem/weil Zuhören zu {Heldenhaftigkeit} 〈Zufriedenheit〉 führt. Steh auf (oder: erhebe dich) bei einem Wort des [Willkommens] (?)! Treibe deine Beine zur Eile an (wörtl.: sei eilig, was deine Beine angeht), wenn du gehst, ohne daß du (zu) vertrauensselig bist! Geselle dich zu einem, der erhabener ist als du! Befreunde einen Mann, der zu deiner Generation gehört. Pause. Siehe, Renenet (oder: die Personifizierung des Glücks/Reichtums) ist/befindet sich auf dem Weg Gottes. [Die Renenet des Schreibers befindet sich auf] seiner Schulter am Tag [seiner] Geburt.
