Translations
a land that sends its ambassadors across the sea in boats woven from papyrus reeds, gliding swift as thought over the water. "Go, you swift messengers, to a nation of tall, sleek people — a people feared since time began and fearsome still — a nation of ordered power and crushed enemies, whose land the great rivers carve apart."
that sends its envoys by sea, in vessels of papyrus skimming across the waters. Go, you swift messengers, to a nation of towering, smooth-skinned people — to a people dreaded from of old and still dreaded — a nation of measured ranks and trampled lands, whose territory the rivers divide.
That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled!
which sends couriers by sea, in papyrus vessels on the waters. Go, swift messengers, to a people tall and smooth-skinned, to a people widely feared, to a powerful nation of strange speech, whose land is divided by rivers.
