like when a door swings on a hinged door side.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “A door only turns on its hinges,
in just the same way, a fool only turns over in bed.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “A lazy man just keeps-on-turning on his bed like a door which keeps-on-turning its hinges.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)

similarly , lazy people just continually turn over in their beds and never do anything.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
