Musean translation
Mouseia’s complete machine-assisted Musean translation, made directly from the Egyptian, line for line, covering all 71 lines of Papyrus Petersburg 1116B, the only complete copy, working from the Thesaurus Linguae Aegyptiae transcription (hieroglyphs, transliteration and lemma glosses, with the TLA editors’ German sentence renderings as a comprehension aid; ORAEC release of the TLA corpus, CC BY-SA 4.0).
49 a hand thrusts out holding a staff. If a man speaks, it is as though he were killing another. Words fall on the heart like fire;
50 no one will endure what issues from my mouth. The land is diminished, its leaders many. Though empty, its taxes are great. Barley is scarce,
51 but the oipe measure is large, filled until it overflows. Re withdraws himself from humankind. He rises, and the hour exists, but no one
52 will know when noon comes. No one will discern his shadow. No face will brighten at the sight of him […]; no tears will moisten
53 any eye. He will be in the sky like the moon. His hour of nightfall will not be delayed. His rays upon the face will remain
54 only as a memory […] of the ancestors. I will show you the land enduring an illness: one once weak of arm now possesses strength. A man
55 will greet the one who used to greet him. I will show you the one once below raised on high; she once cared for […] follows the one who cared for my body. People will live in the necropolis. […]
56 The poor man will heap up wealth, while the great man pays respect to survive. It is the poor who eat
57 bread; laborers conscripted for service grow arrogant. Heqa-Anedj, birthplace of every god, is no more for the land. A king
58 will come […] from the south. Ameny, justified, will be his name. He is the son of a woman of Ta-Seti,
59 a child of Upper Egypt's southern reaches. He will take up the White Crown; he will raise the Red Crown.
60 He will unite the Two Mighty Ones and satisfy the Two Lords with what they love […]. The field-circling implement will be in his
61 fist, the oar in motion. Rejoice, people of his time! The son of a man
62 will make his name endure for everlasting time and eternity. Those who strayed toward evil and plotted rebellion
63 will silence their mouths for fear of him. Asiatics will fall to his slaughter […] and Libyans
64 will fall to his flame. Rebels belong to his wrath, the seditious to
65 his authority. The uraeus upon his brow will subdue the rebels for him.
66 The Walls of the Ruler will be built, life, prosperity, and health; Asiatics will no longer be allowed to descend […]
67 into Egypt. They will beg for water in the customary way […] pleading
68 to let their flocks drink. Justice will return to its place;
69 wrongdoing […] will be driven out. He who sees it will rejoice,
70 he who serves the king. The learned man will pour
71 water for me when he sees that what I said has come to pass.” It has come to its end in peace, by the scribe […].
Plain English translation

49 an assertion, an arm will shoot out holding a stick. When someone speaks, it is as though someone were killing him. Words burn the heart like fire.
50 People will not bear what comes from my mouth. The land is small, but its leaders are many. It is empty, yet its taxes are high. There is little barley,
51 but the oipe measuring vessel is large, and people fill it to overflowing when measuring. Re keeps away from people. When he rises, the hour is known, but no one
52 will know when noon comes. No one can make out his shadow. No face will be dazzled when people look up […] at him. No eyes will fill
53 with tears. He will be in the sky like the moon. He will not miss his appointed time at night. His rays will still be
54 on faces, though they will be like something from the time […] of the ancestors. I will show you the land going through an illness. Someone who was weak now has a strong arm. People
55 will greet the person who once greeted them. I will show you someone who was at the bottom now at the top. The one once cared for […] now follows the one who cared for the body. People will live in the burial ground. […]
56 The poor man will pile up wealth, while the great man will show respect just to get by. Only poor people will eat
57 bread. Forced laborers will become proud. Heka-Andj, the birthplace of every god, will no longer exist for the land. A king
58 will come […] from the south. His name will be Ameny, who has been declared righteous. He is the son of a woman from Ta-Seti,
59 and a child of Upper Egypt's southern region. He will receive the White Crown and wear the Red Crown.
60 He will join the two crowns and please the two lords, Horus and Seth, with what they love […]. The tool for circling the fields will be in
61 his fist, and the steering oar will move back and forth. Rejoice, people of his time! A man's son
62 will make a name for himself for eternity and everlasting time. Those who turned to evil and planned rebellion
63 will silence themselves out of fear of him. Asiatics will fall in his slaughter […], by his sword. Libyans
64 will fall in his flames. Rebels will be subject to his anger, and troublemakers to
65 his authority. The cobra on his forehead will keep the troublemakers under control for him.
66 People will build the Walls of the Ruler, may he live, be well, and be healthy. They will no longer let Asiatics come down […]
67 into Egypt. The Asiatics will have to ask for water as they are used to doing […] or as beggars do,
68 so their animals can drink. Justice will return to its place,
69 and wrongdoing will be driven out […]. The person who sees this and
70 serves the king will rejoice. The learned man will pour
71 water for me when he sees that what I have said has happened.” This text has come to a peaceful end, by the scribe […].
