May this servant here be allowed to obtain a staff for old age,
Qu’on laisse ce serviteur disposer d’une canne de vieillesse,
A’ ye nin jↄnkɛnin in to yen a ka cɛkↄrↄbabere dↄ ɲini a yɛrɛ ye,
Bawan Mai Alfarma yana neman alfarma a bar shi ya riƙe sanda saboda tsufa
Bika kisadi kiaki kiavewa luve mu baka nti (nsadisi?) wa kimbuta.
Je mtumishi huyu anaweza kuruhusiwa kuchukua fimbo ya uzee
Permita a este servo ter um bastão para a velhice,
