1.4 KiB
How long will you sleep ... When will you rise from your sleep?
The teacher uses these questions to scold the lazy person for sleeping too much. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)
A little more sleep ... of the hands to rest
These are the kinds of things that lazy people say.
A little more sleep, a little more slumber
AT: "I'll just sleep a little more. Let me sleep lightly a little"
folding of the hands to rest
AT: "I'll just cross my arms comfortably and rest a little" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
and your poverty will come
The fact that this is a result of being lazy can be made clear. AT: "If you continue to be lazy, your poverty will come" or "While you sleep, poverty will come" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit)
your poverty will come to you like a robber
The sudden way a lazy person becomes poor is like the sudden way a robber comes and steals things. AT: "you will suddenly become poor, just as if a robber came and stole everything you have" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile)
your needs like an armed soldier
AT: "and your needs will come to you like an armed soldier" or "and you will become needy just as if an armed soldier stole all your things"
an armed soldier
AT: "a soldier who is holding a weapon" or "a man with a weapon"
