Rice-laden, barley-laden, and also beans, and also sesame—this is your portion here laid down for treasure’s bestowal. O ye two Teeth, harm not the father, harm not the mother also.
مُثْقَلٌ بالأرز، مُثْقَلٌ بالشعير، وكذلك بالبقول، وكذلك بالسمسم—هذا نصيبكما قد وُضِع هنا لأجل منحِ الكنوز. يا أيها السِّنّان، لا تُؤذِيا الأب، ولا تُؤذِيا الأمَّ أيضًا.
