"Escape from your neighbor like a gazelle that flees from a hunter". The gazelle and the ant have certain characteristics which the author uses to give wisdom. If your language does not recognize these characteristics, you could add a footnote to explain or possibly substitute another animal from your culture that would help explain the same concept.
