English translation:[what we call] energy is matter in a diffuse state
Explanation:
There is a very simple proposition in physics: [what we call] energy is matter in a diffuse state.

This seems to be a definition of "energy" rather than a definition of "scattered/dissipated matter". I think it's more natural to place the term being defined first. Of course, the larger context of the text would ultimately decide.
