The Deceased King Arrives In Heaven Where He Is Established, Utterances 244-259
249 To say: O Osiris N., this here is the [hard] eye of Horus.
249 Take it to thee that thou mayest be strong, (and) that he (Set) may fear thee. Rubric. Breaking of two red jars.
250 This N. comes to thee Nut; this N. comes to thee Nut.
250 He has thrown his father to the ground; he has left Horus behind him.
250 His two wings are grown as (those of) a falcon; (his) two feathers as (those of) a gmw-falcon.
250 His ba has brought him (here); his magic power has equipped him.
251 Thou openest thy place in heaven, among the stars of heaven;
251 thou art the only star, the companion of w; thou lookest down on Osiris,
251 as he commands the spirits. Thou standest there far from him.
251 Thou are not of them; thou shalt not be of them.
252 See, how N. stands there among (you), the two horns on him (like) two wild-bulls,
252 for thou art the black ram, son of a black sheep.
252 born of a white sheep, nursed by four sheep.
253 The blue-eyed Horus comes against you; guard yourselves against the red-eyed Horus,
253 furious in wrath, whose might no one withstands.
253 His messengers go; his runner hastens.
253 They announce to him who lifts up his arm in the East
254 that this One passes in thee of whom Dwn-`n.wi said: "He shall command my (?) fathers, the gods."
254 The gods are silent before thee; the Ennead lay their hands upon their mouth,
254 before this One in thee (of whom) Dwn-`n.wi said: "He shall command my (?) fathers, the gods."
255 Stand at the doorway of the horizon; open the double doors of b.w,
255 that thou mayest stand at their (the gods') head, as Geb at the head of his Ennead--
255 they (the gods) enter, they are smitten with fear; they depart, they lift up their head.
256 They see thee like Min, chief of the two 'itr.t-palaces.
256 He stands, he stands behind thee, thy brother stands behind thee, thy relative (n) stands behind thee.
256 Thou perishest not; thou art not destroyed.
256 Thy name remains among men; thy name has its being among the gods.
257 To say: Thy son Horus has done (this) for thee.
257 The great tremble when they have seen the sword which is in thy hand,
257 as thou comest forth from the Dw-t.
258 Greetings to thee, wise one.
258 Geb has created thee; the Ennead have engendered thee.
258 Horus is satisfied with his father, (as) Atum is satisfied with his years.
258 The gods of the East and West are satisfied with the great (thing) which is come to pass in the embrace of the divine mother (Nut).
259 N., O. N., (thou) who hast seen; N., O. N., (thou) who hast regarded;
259 N, O (thou) who hast heard; N., O N., (thou) who hast been there;
260 N., O N., lift thee up upon thy side, (thou) doer of command;
260 (thou) who hatest sleep, (thou) who art made tired, stand up, (thou) who art in Ndi.t.
260 Thy fine bread is made (i.e. offered, cf. CT, I Spell 67, 286b) in Buto; take thy power in Heliopolis.
261 This Horus commanded to do (this) for his father. The lord of tempest prevented the saliva of Set,
261 when he (Set) should carry thee. It is he who will carry the one who is (again) complete.
262 To say; N. is great. N. has come forth from between the thighs of the Ennead.
262 N. was, conceived by Sekhmet, it is Ssmt.t who gave birth to N.,
263 (as) the star with piercing front (glance) and wide of stride, who brings provisions for (his) journey to R` every day.
263 N. has come to his throne, which is higher than (or, over, above) the two protective goddesses of Upper and Lower Egypt; N. appears (or, shines) as a star.
264 To say: O ye two contestants, announce now to the honourable one in this his name:
264 N. is this ssss-plant which springs from the earth.
264 The hand of N. is cleansed by him who has prepared his throne.
265 N. it is who is at the nose of the powerful Great One.
265 N. comes out of the Isle of Flame,
265 (after) he, N., had set truth therein in the place of error.
265 N. it is who is the guardian of laundry, who protects the uraeusserpents,
265 in the night of the great flood, which proceeds from the Great.
266 N. appears as Nefertem, as the flower of the lotus at the nose of R`;
266 as he comes forth from the horizon every day, the gods purify themselves, when they see him.
267 To say: "It is N. who is chief of the kas, who unites the hearts," so says be (or she) who is chief of the wise, the Great One,
267 "he who is in possession of the divine book, who knows, who is at the right of R`."
267 N. comes to his throne, he is chief of the kas, N. unites the hearts, (so says she) who is chief of the wise, the Great One,
267 N. comes into being, he who knows, being in possession of the divine book, he who is at the right of R`.
268 O thou who art vindicated by N.,
268 it is N. who says (is saying) what is in the heart of the Great One (Nut), at the Feast of Red Clothes,
268 (for) it is N., it is N., who knows, who is at the right of R`;
268 (thus) the heart of the chief of the abyss of Nun is vexed.
269 To say: O ye, who are (set) over the hours, who are (go) before R`, make (ready) the way for N.,
269 that N. may pass through in the midst of the border guard of hostile mien.
270 N. is on the way to his throne, (like) one whose places are in front, who is behind the god, with bowed head,
270 adorned with a sharp (and) strong antelope's horn,
270 like one in possession of a sharp knife, which cuts the throat.
270 The driver-away (?) of suffering from the bull, the punisher of those in darkness,
270 (is) the strong antelope's horn, which is behind the Great God.
271 N. has reduced them to punishment; N. has crushed their head.
271 The arm of N. will not be resisted in the horizon.
272 To say: Lift up your head, ye gods, who are in the Dw.t,
272 for N. is come. Ye see him (how) he becomes as, a great god.
272 Introduce N. with trembling; adorn N.,
273 who has honoured ye all, (as) he commanded mankind (also to do).
273 N. judges those who live in the midst of the land of R`,
273 as N. speaks to this pure land, wherein he has established his residence, with the judge of the two gods,
274 N. is mighty in his presence; N. bears the m-sceptre, when he (Thot) would reject N.
274 N. sits with those who row R`.
274 N. commands the good, and he (Thot) does it, (for) N. is the Great God.
275 To say: He is pure, who was purified in the Marsh of Reeds.
275 R` is purified in the Marsh of Reeds.
275 He is pure, who was purified in the Marsh of Reeds.
275 This N. is purified in the Marsh of Reeds.
275 The hand of N. is in the hand of R`; Nut takes his arm;
275 Shu lifts him up; Shu lifts him up.
276 The Great (Uraeus) burns incense to the bull of Nn.
276 The heat of a flaming breath is against ye, who surround the chapel.
276 O Great God, whose name is unknown, an offering is on the place (i.e. in place) for the One-lord.
277 O lord of the horizon, make place for N.
277 If thou makest not place for N., N. will put a curse on his father Geb:
277 The earth will no more speak; Geb will no more be able to defend himself.
278 Whom N. finds on his way, him he eats for himself bit by bit.
278 The n.t-pelican announces, the pd.ti-pelican comes forth; the Great One arises,
278 the (Three) Enneads speak: A dam shall dam up the earth,
279 both boundaries-of-the-cultivation shall be united, both riverbanks shall be joined,
279 roads shall be closed against passengers,
279 stairs for those who would ascend shall be destroyed.
279 Adjust the cable, traverse the m.t, hit the ball on the meadow of pi.
280 O, thy fields tremble, O, 'id-star, at the column of the stars,
280 when they see the column of Kns.t, the ox (or, bull) of heaven,
280 and how the ox-herd is terrified (overwhelmed) at him.
281 O, be afraid, tremble, ye criminals, before the tempest of heaven;
281 he opened the earth with that which he knew, on the day he loved to come;
282 so said, he--he who is rich in arable-land, he who inhabits the Dt.
282 Behold, she comes to meet thee, the "Beautiful West," to meet thee,
232 with her beautiful tresses, she says: "He comes whom I have borne,
283 whose horn shines, the varnished column, the ox (or, bull) of heaven.
283 Thy figure is, exalted, pass in peace.
284 I have protected thee, says she, the "Beautiful West," to N.
284 Go, voyage to the Marsh of Offerings;
284 bring the oar to ri-.t.f.
285 So said he who is chief of his department (or, thigh offering). Thou decayest in the earth
285 as to thy thickness, as to thy girt, as to thy length
285 (but as spirit) thou seest R` in his bonds, thou adorest R` in-his freedom (from) his bonds,
285 through the great protection which is in his red robes.
286 The lord of peace gives to thee his (with W.) arm.
286 O ye, his she-monkeys, who cut off heads,
286 may N. pass by you in peace, (for) he has attached (again) his, head to his neck,
286 (for) the neck of N. is on his trunk, in his name of "Headattacher,"
286 (as) he attached the head of the Apis in it (that is, in his name), the day the bull was caught with a lasso.
287 Those whom N. has made to eat (they eat of their food); (and) in their drinking,
287 they drink of their abundance.
287 O that N. be respected there by those who see him.
288 The kn-wt.t-serpent is on her d`m-sceptre, the sister (?) of N. who holds Shu aloft.
288 She makes his place wide in Busiris, in Mendes, in the necropolis of Heliopolis;
288 she erects two standards before the Great Ones;
289 she digs a pool (?) for N. in the Marsh of Reeds;
289 she establishes his field in the two Marshes of Offerings.
289 N. judges in the M.t-wr.t-cow between the two wrestlers,
290 for his strength is the strength of the eye of Tbi (R`),
290 his might is the might of the eye of Tbi.
290 N. has freed himself from those who did this against him,
290 who took from him his dinner,
291 when it was there, who took his supper from him,
291 when it was there, who took the breath from his nose,
291 who brought to an end the days of his life.
291 N. is mightier than they, appearing upon his shore.
292 Their hearts fall into his fingers,
292 their entrails to the inhabitants of heaven (birds), their blood to the inhabitants of earth (beasts),
292 their inheritance to the poor,
292 their houses to fire, their farms to high Nile (inundation).
293 Let the heart of N. be glad; let the heart of N. be glad!
293 N. is Unique, the ox (or, bull) of heaven.
293 He has exterminated those who have done this against him, he has destroyed those who are on the earth. 294a-c. Belonging to his throne, what he will take, what he will lift up, is that which his father Shu has given him in the presence of Set.
295 To say: The Horizon burns incense to Horus of Nn; provisions for the lords.
295 The horizon burns incense to Horus of Nn,
295 the heat of its flaming breath is against you who surrounded the chapel,
295 the poison of its flaming breath is against you who wear the Great (Lower Egyptian crown).
296 The horizon burns incense to Horus of Nn; provisions for the lords.
296 O the ugly, the ugly of form (speech?), the ugly of form,
297 remove thyself from thy place, lay down on the ground the dignity for N.
297 If thou removest not thyself from thy place and layest (not) down on the ground thy dignity for N.;
297 then will N. come, his face like the Great One, lord of the .thelmet,
297 mighty through that in which he is, injured;
298 then will he impart heat to his eye, which will surround you,
298 and will let go a tempest on those who did wrong,
298 and will let loose an inundation over the Ancients;
299 then will he strike away the arms of Shu under Nut,
299 and then will N. put his arm on the wall (protection) on which thou leanest.
300 The Great (R`) stands tip in the interior of his chapel,
300 and lays down to the ground his dignity for N., 300c, after N. had taken command (w) and had laid hold of knowledge (i).
301 To say: N. has inherited Geb; N. has inherited Geb.
301 He has inherited Atum; he is upon the throne of Horus, the eldest.
301 His eye is his might; his protection consists in that which was done to him.
302 The heat of the flaming breath of his uraeus-serpent
302 is like that of the Rnn-wt.t-serpent on his forehead.
302 N. has put his fear in their heart,
302 in making a massacre among them.
303 The gods saw (it) disrobed,
303 and they bowed themselves before N. in homage (saying):
303 "His mother conducts him; his home-town tows him;
303 Hai, let go thy rope."
304 To say: There is a clamour in heaven.
304 "We see a new thing," say the primordial gods.
304 O Ennead, a Horus is in the rays of the sun.
304 The lords of form serve him,
304 the Two Enneads entire serve him,
305 as he sits in place of the All-lord. N. wins heaven, he cleaves its firmness.
305 N. is led along the ways of Khepri;
306 N. rests from life in the West, the dwellers in the D.t following him.
306 (Then) N. rises renewed in the East,
306 (and) he who judged the quarrel comes to him with obeisance.
306 "Serve N., ye gods, as he who is elder than the Great (R`) ";
306 so says he, "(him) who has made himself mighty in his place."
307 N. layeth hold on command (w), eternity is brought to him
307 and knowledge (i) is placed at his feet.
307 Shout for joy to N.; be hath won the horizon.
308 To say: N. is Osiris in a dust-storm.
308 His abomination is the earth; N. has not entered into Geb,
308 that he might be destroyed; nor has he slept in his house on earth,
