Translation
From this day forward, the sin that will be incurred from the theft of people’s wealth, whose king and protector has met his demise, will accrue to us, even though we are not directly related to it. The people, most of whom will have become thieves, will abduct each other’s animals, women, and wealth, abuse one another, and eventually kill each other.
