Dear Yong Peng,
The Mahatheras Nyanaponika/Nyanatiloka translated it (AN in German) as follows:
nadiividugga = "schwer passierbare Flüsse" (impassable rivers)
pabbatavisama = "unwegsames Gebirge" (wayless mountain region)
eteva = ete + eva / "among them however"
avi~n~naataara = "unverständigen" (foolish, unwise)
atthama~n~naati = in this context: "unterscheiden" -> they cannot distinguish between well-spoken and ill-spoken words.
duppa~n~na = "unverständig" (without proper understanding)
