Chapter 7 (seek no wealth) | |
1. |
Do not set your heart on wealth ! |
|
2. |
There is no ignoring Shay and Renenet ! |
|
3. |
Do not let your heart go straying, for |
|
4. |
every man comes to his hour. |
|
5. |
Do not labour to seek increase, |
|
6. |
what You have, let it suffice You. |
|
7. |
If riches come to You by theft, |
|
8. |
they will not stay the night with You. |
|
9. |
Comes morning, and they are not in your house ; |
|
10. |
their place is seen but they are not there : |
|
11. |
earth opened its mouth, leveled them, swallowed them, |
|
12. |
and made them sink into Dat, or |
|
13. |
they made a hole as big as their size, |
|
14. |
and sank into the netherworld, or |
|
15. |
they made themselves wings like geese, |
|
16. |
and flew away to the sky. |
|
17. |
Do not rejoice in wealth from theft, |
|
18. |
nor complain of being poor. |
|
19. |
If the leading archer presses forward, |
|
20. |
his company abandons him ! |
|
21. |
The boat of the greedy is left in the mud, |
|
22. |
while the bark of the tranquil sails with the wind. |
|
23. |
You shall pray to God st first light, |
|
24. |
saying : 'Grant me well-being and health !' |
|
25. |
He will give You your needs for this life, |
|
26. |
and You will be safe from fear. |
