One who is full loathes honey from the comb, but to the hungry even what is bitter tastes sweet. Like a bird that flees its nest is anyone who flees from home.

One who is full loathes honey, but to one who is hungry everything bitter is sweet. Like a bird that strays from its nest is a man who strays from his home.

A person who is full refuses honey, but even bitter food tastes sweet to the hungry. A person who strays from home is like a bird that strays from its nest.

A person who is full tramples on a honeycomb,  but to a hungry person, any bitter thing is sweet. Anyone wandering from his home is like a bird wandering from its nest.

The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; But to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet. As a bird that wandereth from her nest, So is a man that wandereth from his place.

A satisfied soul loathes the honeycomb, But to a hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet. Like a bird that wanders from its nest Is a man who wanders from his place.

When you’ve stuffed yourself, you refuse dessert; when you’re starved, you could eat a horse. People who won’t settle down, wandering hither and yon, are like restless birds, flitting to and fro.

A satisfied person despises honey, But to a hungry person any bitter thing is sweet. Like a bird that wanders from its nest, So is a person who wanders from his home.

He who is satisfied loathes honey, But to the hungry soul any bitter thing is sweet. Like a bird that wanders from her nest [with its comfort and safety], So is a man who wanders from his home.

The one whose appetite is satisfied loathes honey, but to the hungry mouth every bitter thing is sweet. Like a bird that wanders from its nest, so is a person who wanders from his home.
