A brave man who once showed daring

Should be rewarded accordingly.

So that he sets his heart on destruction again

And has no fear of the battle with Gog and Magog.

Keep the soldier well in times of peace

So that he can be of use in times of hardship.

A soldier whose livelihood is not secure

Why should he risk death on the day of battle?

Kiss the hands of the warriors now

Not when the enemy has struck the war drum.

Protect the regions of the kingdom from the grasp of evildoers

By means of the army, and maintain the army with wealth.

The kingdom will have dominance over the enemy

When the army is content and well-fed.

He is consuming the price of his own head

It is not just that he endures hardship.

When they withhold treasure from the soldier

He will hesitate to draw his sword.

What valor will he show in the battle line

When his hand is empty and his condition is miserable?
