(the) Asiatic vile, (the) Great Ruler, he is, Honored Lord, he
Lack (of) water, without trees many,
Paths their (of the) Great Ruler, roads (are) Bad, (because of) mountains,
Never he place one, departs (always),
Journeys, Travel Around, On foot, His,
All, Fighting Since Time Horus,
Never conquerors does he, Never conquered Places his,
Never Announces he, Day of War,
(Comes) Like a Thief, fights (as a) confederacy,
Live I, But Exist I, Exist Reflect
Exist these Foreigners (like) Bundle (of) tied Cowards in a fortress
Opened (and) Afflicted, Perished, Because of words his,
Joined Together I, Strike Them, Delta
Work Devastation, Plunder Capture Have I, also People
Finally Carried Away I Herds of Cattle
Said Abominable, Wicked Asiatics name (of) Kemet
Also, Do Not Heart Yours, Be Concerned About He,
Asiatic, He is Crocodile Upon Embankment His
Will Snatch Him Who is on Path Alone,
Never Conquer Those Town (of) many-
This. Is. Amazing! Thank you for posting this translation. Is there more on the topic of foreigners? I feel like an illiterate person having a letter from home being read to me.
Is this the collection that this translation is from? Dr. Rkhty Amen said that there was an entire library of Kemetic texts documenting all aspects of life. She was not kidding!! https://pcarlsberg.ku.dk/publishedtexts/#PC302
