Make your tent bigger!
    You need more room to live in.
Yes, do it!
    Make the tent's ropes longer!
    Make the pegs that hold it stronger!
The borders of your land will be wider in all directions.
Your descendants will take land from other nations.
    They will live in the cities that had become empty.
Do not be afraid.
    You will not be ashamed again.
Do not be frightened of shame.
    Nobody will make you ashamed.

    which you had when you were young.
You will forget that you were ashamed to be alone,
    like a widow.
