TRANSLATION FOLLOWS:
Greeting Jorge you query and comment on my comments on Rob's translation as
follows:

"A minor point - 'mansa' is right, not 'mansi'
More important, should it be 'be tu'a mi' or 'be le tu'a mi'?
And in my opinion, you want to say 'satisfiee' and not 'satisfier'"

1. 'mansa' is right, thanks
2. The first.
Specifically, the grammatical structure introduced by tu'a is a sumti
3. You comment correctly about 'satisfier'. I got it wrong.

"You make the following comment as well:
'You translate the foregoing ?as?  ....
Please explain, is la'e needed?"

'xe' is an error. Perhaps you meant 'fu'?
Lastly, I think that 'PATH' is the name of a variable (data store).
The thing which is added to is not the variable but its contents,
so it's necessary to use 'la'e'.

Thanks  for your questions and comments.
Colin
