Canst thou translate?

Knowest thou of any one that can translate?

For I am desirous that these records should be translated into our language;

who have been destroyed,

from whence these records came;

or, perhaps, they will give us a knowledge of this very people

who have been destroyed;

and I am desirous to know the cause of their destruction.

I can assuredly tell thee, O king, of a man that can translate the records;

And the things are called interpreters,

and no man can look in them except he be commanded,

lest he should look for that he ought not and he should perish.

And whosoever is commanded to look in them, the same is called seer.
