I guess you mean ancient Egyptian. People at that time did not give "presentations" so there is no direct translation; furthermore hieroglyphs do not include vowels so we will never know exactly how Egyptian words were pronounced, only how they were written. The verb mAa means to present something like an offering, rather than a talk to an audience.

In hieroglyphs you might write pA iw=i hr mAa [the i, A and a are used to write out Egyptian consonants that do not exist in English]; it means "this I am in the act of presenting/giving/offering".

Egyptologists today use the letter e to replace all the missing vowels, so the word hr would be pronounced her, but this is definitely not how the ancient Egyptians pronounced the words - that knowledge is lost forever.
