Paraphrase

Arad-Bēl/Šūzubu (AB) voluntarily (ina ḫūd libbišu) sold Nabû-šulum-šukun (NŠŠ), his slave (qallu) and son of (f)Pān-Ninlil-adaggal, his female slave (qallatu), for 1 mina [x] shekels of silver, the fixed purchase price, to Nabû-bān-.../Silim-...//Arad-Ea.

AB and Balāṭu/Šūzubu assume guarantee against anyone making a suit unlawfully (sēḫû) or bringing a claim (pāqirānu) over NŠŠ with regard to (his) status of freemen (mār banûtu). Mutual guarantee. 
They also guarantee NŠŠ’s Aramaic document (sipru) for up to one hundred days.
At the end of m.V AB will bring NŠŠ and give him to the buyer.
