English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Together, in due season, let the two parents send forth; mother and father, be ye possessed of seed. As a young man upon a young wife mount thou her: beget ye offspring here, and nourish ye wealth to thrive.

Translation

معًا، في أوانه الحقّ، فليُطلِق الوالدان (النسل)؛ يا أمًّا وأبًا، كونا ذوي بذرة. وكشابٍّ يعلو زوجةً فتيةً، فاعلُها؛ وأنجبا هنا ذريةً، وغذّيا الثروة لتزدهر.
