Translations

Modern
Your ropes are slack; they cannot secure the mast or spread the sail. Then an abundance of spoils will be divided, and even the lame will carry off plunder.
Traditional
Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not well strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey.
Literal
Your ropes are slack—they cannot hold the firmness of their mast; they cannot spread out the sail. Then the prey will be divided, plunder in great abundance—even the lame will seize the spoils!
Latin
Laxati sunt funiculi tui, et non prævalebunt; sic erit malus tuus ut dilatare signum non queas. Tunc dividentur spolia prædarum multarum; claudi diripient rapinam.
