To the gods Of the Night
They are extended to lie, the Great ones. The bolts are affixed, the serramentas
are applied. Madman and men are calm. The wide open portals are now closed
The dčis of the country and the goddesses of the country, Shamash, Adad and
Ishtar', have gone Since, in sky to sleep. They don't now pronounce judgments,
they don't now take decisions. The night has stretched its veils. The temple
and the holy's places are calm and dark. The traveller invokes his god, and
the litigant delays in the sleep. The judge of truth, the orphans' father,
Shamash, is retired in his room. Or Great, or Dči of the night, or shining,
Gibil, or warlike, Irra or star of the arc and star of the yoke or Pleiadi,
Orione and Dragon or Greater Orsa, Stella of the Goat or Bisonte', are from
near, and now, in the divination that go completing, in the lamb that I introduce
in offer you set for me the truth.
THE WORD OF BEL-MARDUK
Is of what founded as the day, who can define the essence? Of his word, that
is founded as the day, who can define the essence? The word of the great god
is as the day founded: who can define the essence of it? The word that, aloft
sets the skies in rest, the word that, in low, makes to rest the earth, the
word of the Anunnaki's, of destruction, its word doesn't have I guess, doesn't
have exorcist, its word is a downpour that advances, doesn't have rivals,
its word sets the skies in rest, makes to rest the earth! The word of the
Lord makes to die the bush of reeds in its maturity. The word of Marduk cheers
the mèsse to his time. The word of the Lord is the flood that advances,
that the faces make sad. The word of Marduk is the overflow that breaks the
dike'. Its word destroys the great sanctuaries. The word of Beautiful it is
a puff, the eye doesn't see it. Be a dream that is not seen! Its word is said
to the man in the pain and then the man groans. His word, when it advances
silent, it destroys the country. His word, when it advances imposing, it demolishes
the houses, it throws the country in the weeping. Its word is a sealed vase:
who can define the inside of it? Its word does suffering the people, people
weaken. His word, when it raises, it makes to suffer the country. His word,
when it lowers, it destroys the country. To his word the skies in the tall
one calm down alone. To the height its word belongs!
TO SHAMASH'
I. Shamash,
when you come out of the great mountains, when you appear from the great mountains,
from the mountains where the cave of the sources is... then the Great Iddiis

Judge of the dèis, gentleman of the Igigis, Shamash, gentleman of the destiny of the countries, gentleman of the creation you are.
IV. To all the men you set the law. Correct God you are. Just you are the god of the justice and the wisdom of the countries. The pious one you recognize, the wicked one you discover.

of your splendor, your shine filling up, the earth's expanse. When you raise
yourself above the mountains, you scrutinize the regions, you hold back the
earth's confinements suspended by the center of the sky. The people of the
world, all, you watch over. Everything how much Ea, the king-adviser, wanted
to create, together you guard him. Those that have life, you have them in

upside-down, to the unfaithful judge you make to see the jail, to that that
he makes to contaminate from money and he perverts the justice you send punishment.With
dark voice the weak you invoke, the miserable one, the tapino, the abused
one, the poor man in front of you confident with psalms and offers they come.
When distant it is the family, when distant it is the city, in the fear of
the open countries, in front of you the shepherd comes. The pastorello that
is in confusion, the shepherd in the middle of the enemies or Shamash, to
you introduces. The caravan that advances in fear, the nomadic merchant, the
itinerant seller that brings the heavy burden, to you or Shamash, introduces.
The fisherman that works to the nets, the hunter, that that struggle against
wild animals and it is to wait near their dens, that that it extends the panies,
to you introduces. The thief, the robber, the enemy of the sun, the wandering
vagabond for the paths of the desert, in front of you they come. The wandering
corpses, the transitory shades, in front of you they come, or Shamash. Those
people that through the vast earth, those people who climb on the tall mountains,
the monsters of the sea that are full of power terrifies, what the sea produces,
all of this that belongs to the Depth, the fishy benches that the river produces,
are in your presence.

THE BIRTH OF THE GODS. THE WORLD IS OF THE GODS
When aloft the sky not yet you
had name, and of under the dry land not yet you had been named, nothing there
was, if not the primordial Apsu, them generator and Mummu-Tiamat, she that
everything produced, and their waters were mixed in an only body. Not yet
a hut of reeds you had been covered with mats, not yet a marshy earth you
had emerged, neither god some had been brought to be, their names not yet
they had been named, their destinies not yet determined.It happened then that
the gods they were fully grown in the middle of them. Lahmu and Lahamu were
servants, with names they had called. Before they were grown in age and stature.
Anshar and Kishar were fully grown, that the others surpassed. Spent the time,
assistant years a years, their heir was Anu rival of his father,: yes, the
first-born of Anshar, Anu, was equal to his father. Anu to his image Nudimmud'
produced. This Nudimmud was of his fathers the gentleman, of vast wisdom,
acuteness, powerful in strength, more powerful person that the ancestor his
Ansliar. It didn't have among the gods, his brothers, rival.The divine brothers
united in gang, Tiamats disturbed lifting himself before and back they molested,
him, the abdomen of Tiamat with their hilarity in the Abode of the Sky. Apsu
didn't succeed to infrenare their cackle, and Tiamat stayed without word to
their behavior. Insolent they were their actions. . . , foolish their ways,
arrogant they were. Then Apsu, the generator of the great ones of the, turning
himself to Mummu, his visir, it exclaimed: , «Or Mummu, my visir, that
my liver consoles, come here and goes from Tiamat! ». They went, and
they sat down in front of Tiamat, exchanging himself opinions on the gods,
them first-born. Apsu, opening the mouth, so it turned to resplendent Tiamat:
«Their behavior is really insolent in my respects. In the daytime I
don't find relief, rest at night I don't have. I will destroy, I will send
in downfall their enterprises. Peace returns. Is given to have there I rest!
». Tiamat hardly listened, it went to anger, to his husband it turned.
Alone raging and dripping pain in the heart, enraged it shouted: «What?
Should we destroy what we have built?Their ways are, certain, arrogant, but
we kindly attend». Then Mummu responded, giving to Apsu his opinion.
The opinion of Mummu was badly I accept and undesirable:«You destroy,
my father, the rebellious ways. You will have in the daytime then only relief,
rest at night». To listen, radiant it made the face of Apsu, because
of the evil that had in mind against his children `. In as for Mummu, to the
neck he embraced him, when he sat to his knees to kiss him. Now how much they
had plotted together it was reported to the gods, them first-born. Standing
the were gods, when they listened, then they fell in the silence and they
stayed without word. The victorious one on all in wisdom, perfect, rich in
astuteness, Ea, the omniscient one, guessed their project. A sketch teacher,
for oppose, it planned and it prepared, against the enterprise it made his
insidious spell, eminent and saint.It recited it and, it did it go down above
the deep waters of Apsu, I set stretching him the sleep. It is in deep sleep
he lay. When Apsu had folded up and absorbed in the sleep, to Mummu, the adviser,
impotent to move himself, it loosened the infules, it tore the crown, the
virile limb cut and took possession. Then, tied up Apsu, killed him. Mummu
also tied and the custodians under key. So stable his abode above Apsu-ocean,
so takings possession of Mummu, holding back him for the rope of the nose.
THE HISTORY OF THE DOWNPOUR

Their clash heard and to the great ones of the it said: «Oppressively the clamor of the men is made, with their clash they upset me the sleep. People are deprived some fig trees, has scarce vegetable for the abdomen. Adad from the tall one is scarce of rain. In the lower part water doesn't flow, flows anymore from the sources not more, the wind gets up stripping, gets further the clouds, neither more rain goes down from the sky. You withdraw the earth his product, turns on the other hand the breast of Nisaba».«It enters the ship, the door close of it, you loaded your wheat, the good, what you possess, his wife, the family, relatives, artisans. Beasts of the field, creatures of the fields, how much among them they nourish of grass, I will send you, and they will guard your door».

Comes that was the sixth year, her child is ready as I feed, as I feed her daughter she is ready..., a family the other one devours. How ghosts of died their faces they were veiled. People lived saving the breath... In the tall Adad it did scarce the rain, in the lower part it was blocked the to flow some water that flowed not more some sources. Earth withdrew its products, it turned the breast of Nisaba. At night the fields became white. The ample plain produced crystals of salts, neither more plant came out, neither wheat budded. The fevers attacked the men. Closed it was every abdomen, neither more it gave birth...Endowed with wisdom, the man Atrakhasis -la lies it turns to Ea, his gentleman -with his god he speaks, and his gentleman, Ea, talks to him. It opened mouth Atrakhasis saying to Ea his gentleman,: «Or gentleman, the men lift cries. Your anger consumes the country. Ea or gentleman, the men groan. The anger of the gods it consumes the country. And also you are you that you have created there. Make to stop the pains, the dizziness, the shivers, the fever! ».

Beautiful you appear
to the horizon of the sky, you, living Atun, cominciamento of life! When you
have gotten out of to the oriental horizon, with your beauty you fill every
earth. Attractive six, great, shining and tall on every country. Your rays
surround the earths up to the limits of all of this that you have created:
how Ra you push yourself up to the confinements of them, you subjugate her
for your dear child. You are distant, - but your rays are on the earth. You
are in front of their faces, - but nobody knows your street. When rested in
the western horizon, earth is in the darkness, as in death. The men sleep
in their rooms, - the covered heads -, neither the eye of the one the other.
All the good you could be stolen hidden under their heads, and they would
not realize. Every lion is gone out of his den all the creeping animals that
sting. The darkness is a refuge, and earth is in silence, since he who it
did, it rests in its horizon. To the aurora, when you raise yourself above
the horizon, when you glow as Atun diurnal,reject the darkness and you make
gift of your rays. The Two Earths are every day in exultation, you wake up
and stable on their feet, since you have aroused her from the sleep. While
they are bathing the limbs, while they are covering with their dresses, their
braccias are raised aloft, in praise, for your apparition. All complete their
work. All the animals enjoy of their pastures. Trees and plants bloom. The
birds hover from their nest, the tense wings in honor of your ka. The fierce
beasts jump all standing ones. Every animal that flies or that him laying
has life, when you for them six risen. The boats, meanwhile, set sail for
the north for the south. since every rout opens to your apparition. In front

of the great green sea. You that animate the seed in the women, that create
the seed in the man, that from the maintenance to the embryo in the abdomen
of her mother, that comforts that scatters tears, you, give the nutrition
of whom is anchors in the abdomen, that grant the puff to sustain all of this
that have created! When (the creature) it goes down from the abdomen to breathe,
in the day of his birth, you broadly open his mouth, to his needs you provide.
When the chick, still in the egg, it peeps inside the hull, to the inside
the puff you grant him to sustain it. When, inside the hull, you have brought
him to maturity, because can break the hull, to the time of his maturity it
comes out from there for peeping and it already skips about on the legs when
he has come out. How many the things that have created are! They are hidden
to the face of the man. Or unique god, equal to which there is not other!
You created the world according to your desire, when you were alone: all the
men, the livestock, the wild fairs, all of this that is on the earth, that
stirs on feet, and what is aloft, that flies with wings. The countries of
Syria and Nubia, the earth of Egypt, every man puts to his place, to his needs
you provide: to each his food, and for each the time of the life is counted.Theirs
to speak distinguishes for different languages, and so also their nature.
Different they are their skins, because you create distinctions among the
foreign people. You make a Nile in the inferior world and you bring out it,
according to your desire, to maintain in life the people (of Egypt), since
you same you have created her. Mr. of all of them, that for I tired you to
them, Mr. of every country, that you rise for them, diurnal Atun, great in
majesty, for all the remote foreign countries, you also for them you create
life. since you have set a Nile in the sky, that comes down for them and that
it lifts so that on the mountains as the great green sea, to bathe the countries
in their cities. As effective they are your plans, or Mr. of eternity! The
Nile in the sky is for the foreign people and for the fairs of every desert,
that stir on the feet, the emergent Nile from the world of under it is for
Egypt. Your rays give nourishment to every grassland. When you raise yourself,
they live for you. You make the seasons because grows all of this that you
have created, the winter to refresh them, the heat because tastes you. You
have made the distant sky to lift you in it, to be able to see all the things
that you have created. When you were alone, rising in your form as living
Atun, showing you, shining, getting further you or approaching you, from you
you created million of forms, city, countries, countries, streets and rivers.
Every eye above of it contemplates yourself to them, since six Atuns of the
day above the earth... You are in my heart, and there are not other that knows
you, I save your child Neppher-Khepheru-Ra Wa-en-Ra, since you have created
him experienced of your plans and of your power. Earth came to be in your
hand as you you have created them. When you rise, they live, when sunsets
they die. You are the same duration of the life, since him he lives only thanks
to you.Eyes contemplate beauty up to when sunsets. Every work is abandoned
when you lower to west. When you rise... you make revival the king... since

THE HISTORY OF THE
SALVATION OF THE HUMAN KIND
It happened that (the men plotted against) Ra, the god come to be from himself,
when it was king of the gods and, together, of the men. The human kind anything
in presence of Ra. Now his Majesty--v.p.s.-! it was old and its bones were
of silver, its gold meat and its head of hair of lapislazzulo.
Inclusive his Majesty the things that plotted him from the human kind against
him. Then his Majesty - v.p.s.! - it told those that were in his succession:
«I pray you, you summon near of me my Eye, Shu, Tefnut, Geb and Nut,
together with his Fathers and his Mothers that were with me when I was in
Nun, and together with, my god Nun. He brings his court with itself. It will
have to bring secretly her, to avoid that the human kind realizes of it, not
to do what their hearts save. It will come with them in the Great House, because
can explain their plans, since the time when I went out of Nun to the place
in which I came to be».
These of the were, then introduced, and they came close to him, touching with
their heads the earth in presence of his Majesty, so that he could make his
declaration in presence of the Father of the Elderly ones, him that the human
kind did, the people king.
In presence of his Majesty, they said: «Speak to us, so that is given
to listen to you there! ».
Then Ra told Nun: «Or elderly among the gods, in which I came to be,
or of the ancestors, the human kind that came out of my Eye look. The men
have plotted against me. Tell me what you would do in this occasion. I won't
massacre them up to when I won't have heard what thought of it».
Then the Majesty of Nun said: «Ra, gives birth my, greater god of he
who has done it and more powerful person of those people that created it,
if tooth on your throne, the terror of you is great when your Eye is directed
against those people who entangle against you! ».
Then the Majesty of Ra said: «You look. If they have escaped in the
desert, since their hearts are taken by the terror in the moment in which
I would be able their parlar». They told presence of his Majesty: «What
your Eye is sent for grabbing for you those that plot wicked things. But your
Eye sufficiently is not prominent to operate their destruction in your favor.
It should come down assuming the form of Hathor».
It came, so, this goddess to cut the throat of the human kind in the desert.
Then the Majesty of this god said: «Welcome, Hathor that for me made
the work for which came! ». The goddess answered: «As is true
that you for me living being, I am victorious on the human kind, and my heart
likes this! ». The Majesty of Ra said: «I will prevail him above
of them as a king, reducing them of I number!... ».
Then Ra said: «Called me fast and rapid messengers, such that can race
as the shade of a body». Such messengers were immediately introduced.
The Majesty of this god said: «You go to Elephantine and brought me
red ochre in abundance». The red ochre was brought him. The Majesty
of this great god did what..., and That -with -the -side -sealed that it is
in Heliopolis it grinded this red ochre. When then the slaves shattered the
bowline to make the beer, the red ochre it was assistant to I mix him. The
beer was red as human blood. They were made then seven thousand jars of beer.
And the Majesty of the King of the tall one and Low Egypt, Ra, came, together
with these of the, to see such beer.
Now, when rose the day of the massacre of the human kind from the goddess,
in the season in which the River overflows, the Majesty of Ra said «As
is good! With it I will protect the human kind! ». Ra said: «I
beg of it, hand it to the place in which it expects that she will massacre
the human kind». Then the majesty of the sovereign of the tall one and
Low Egypt, Ra, went out to work soon in the depth of the night to spread above
of them this sleep aid. And the fields with liquid were filled for the palms,
thanks to the power of this god.
The goddess came to the dawn and found awash the place. Then its face did
beautiful.She drank and it was cheerful in her heart. Drank returned, without
having seen the human kind.
THE NAME OF POWER OF RA
Spell of the divine nume, that came to be for himself, that the sky did, the earth, the water, the puff of life, the fire, the gods, the men, the small and great livestock, the creeping things, the birds, the fishes, king of the men and the gods at the same time, whose limits go beyond the time, rich of names, unknown to that god, unknown to this god.
Now Iside was an astute
woman. Its heart was more skilled than that than a million men. It was more
excellent than a million men, it was more acute than a million of dead noble.
Nothing there was in sky and in earth that the pits unknown, as Ra, that created
what the earth it contains.
The goddess in her heart planned to learn the name of the august God. Ra now
made his entrance every day to head of his crew, taking place on the Throne
of the Two Horizons. A divine old age had weakened its mouth. He launched
his saliva to earth and it spit around her doing it fall on the ground. Iside
the mix for itself with the hand, together with the earth on which it was
(fall). It built, so, an august snake, shaped it in form of acute point. It
didn't lift up alive in front of her, but she left it to the crossroad beyond
which the Great God used to go, according to the desire of his heart, through
the Two Countries.
The august God went out of the doors, together with the gods of the building
that you accompany it, to be able to walk, as every day. The august snake
stung it. The fire living doors from his vital presence, and he fainted in
the middle of the grass. When the divine nume could take back its voice, the
din ch'egli did it reached the sky. His Enneade said: «What there is
never? what is there never? ». But he didn't succeed in finding her
voice to answer. Its lips trembled, all of its limbs were shaken. The poison
appropriated of its meat, as the Nile takes possession some earth behind of
itself.
When the great God had recomposed his heart, he shouted to his succession:
«Helped me, you that you came to be in my body, you of the that you
went out of me. I make you know what he is happened. Anything of painful stricken
a deadly hit has me, my heart doesn't recognize it, my eyes have not seen
him, my hand has not done it, and entirely I don't know how to recognize it
in the middle of all the things that I have created. I have never felt a pain
similar to this, and nothing there is more lancinan-you. I am a noble, noble
child, the seed of a god, that came to be as a god. I am the Great one child
of a Great. My father thought my name. I am abundant of names and of forms.
My forms exist in the aspect of every god. I have called Atum and Horus -
of - it Glo-gets back. My father and my mother told me my name, but it was
hidden in my body first ch'ios I was born, so that the power of a magician
or a sorceress they could not operate against me. While I was going out of
the door to see what I had done and to walk in the Two Countries that I had
created, anything stung me, I don't know what. Really fire is not, really
water is not. My heart is on the fire, my body is trembling, and all of my
limbs are invaded by the dawning cold. What the children of the are brought
me gods, the Benèficis - of - Word, that they know the spells, whose
wisdom touches the sky».
Then the children of the gods they came, every of them with his own mourning,
but Iside came with her astuteness, with his to speak that has the Puff -
of - Life, with her recitations that expel the evil, and with his words that
vivify that whose throat has been smothered. She said: «What it is,
that is never, my divine father? Did a snake inject you the weakness? Did
one of your children lift the head against you? Then I will demolish it with
effective magic, I will force it to retire himself to the apparition of your
rays».
The holy God opened the mouth: «It is that I was going along the road,
walking for the Two Countries and for the foreign earths, because my heart
desired to see what I had created, when I was stung by a snake without seeing
him. Really fire is not, really water is not, but I is more cold of the water
and more ardent than the fire. All of my body is sweat, while I am shivering.
My eye doesn't fix and I doesn't succeed in seeing anymore. The skies beat
me on the face, as in time in summer».Then Iside said: «Tell me
your name, my divine father, since the person, with the name of which magic
formulas are pronounced, it has life».
«I am that that it made sky and earth, that he knotted among them the
mountains and it created what there is above of them. They are that that waters
did, so that the Celestial Cow could come to be. They are that that the bull
did for the cow, so that the sexual enjoyment could come to be. They are that
that it made the sky and the mysteries of the Two Horizons, so that the soul
of the gods you/he/she could be you situated. They are that that you open
his eyes, so that the darkness they came to be; that in obedience to the command
of which the Nile flows, and whose name the gods they have not known. They
are that that the hours did, so that the days could come to be. They are that
that it opened the year and it created the river. They are that that the living
fire did to bring to be the work of the Building. I am Khephri in the morning,
midday Ra and Atum that it is in the evening».
But the poison was not jammed in its heart, and the great God didn't recover.
Then Iside told Ra: «Really your name is not among those that you have
said. If you tell me him, the poison it will come out, since a person whose
name is pronounced, has life».
The poison burned with burning, it was more powerful person that flame of
fire. Then the Majesty of Ra said: «Lend me ear, Iside, my daughter,
so that my Name comes from mine in your body. The most divine among the gods
it hid it, so that my place can be ample in the Boat of Million of Years.
If for the first time it had to verify him that it goes out of my heart. report
it to your child Horus, after you have threatened it with divine oath and
you have set ahead the god to his eyes» The Great God disclosed his
name to Iside, the Great one - in -magic.
Crawl away, poison of Scorpio! Go out of Ra or eye of Horus! Go out of the
mouth of the god that burns to my spell! I am me that I operate, me that dispatch
this command. Go down to earth or powerful poison! Do you see? The Great God
has disclosed his name, - and Ra living being, the poison is dead! The such
one of the such ones, child of the such one of the such ones, living being,
the poison is dead, thanks to the words of Iside the Great one, the owner
of the gods, that Ra knows in his true name.
