To the first, an eastern land
 awash with flowers.
.أعطى للأول، أرضًا شماليةً تغطّيها الأزهار
Dem ersten gab er den Osten
voll blühender Blumen.
Al primero le dio
las floridas tierras del este.
Al primero le dio las tierras del este,
vestidas de flores.
Le premier eut l’est,
resplendissant de ses fleurs.
Al primo figlio concesse le terre dell'Est, 
dove sbocciavano i fiori.
Para o primeiro, a terra do
leste, repleta de flores.
Первому — восток, усеянный цветами.
