Translation into French by Pou 1989

1-2Les Anak Samtec Cand, Jot, Kau, le cœur rasséréné par la foi dans la religion du Seigneur, font offrande de la rizière de Krasāṁṅ au Nord du village de Sīemrāp, au monastère de côté Nord.

2-4Que [cette offrande] soit la condition [de leur succès] dans le futur ! Que nos souhaits se réalisent totalement, jusqu’à ce que nous atteignions la noble Cité de Cristal, sans jamais faillir ! Que [ceci] soit la condition [de la réussite], jusqu’à l’arrivée au nirvāṇa!

5Cette rizière est une offrande au Monastère de Kraboe Ch-aet, pour la continuation de la religion du Seigneur.

Commentary

There is a phrase in Pali in line 4: yāvanibvānaṁ paccayo hotu “jusqu’à l’arrivée au nirvāṇa!"
