"lies down," Wb. V 366) for thee. 1553 They tremble who see the inundation (when) it tosses; 1554 (but) the marshes laugh; the shores are become green; 1554 the divine offerings descend; the face of men brightens; the heart of the gods rejoices. 1555 "Deliver N. from his bandages, which restrain (?) the living, O gods," 1555 (is) in the mouth of those who run to them on the good day of running (while running is good). 1556 "Set is guilty; Osiris is justified," 1556 (is) in the mouth of the gods, on the good day of the going upon the mountain. 1557 (When) inundations are upon the land, 1557 he who hastens with his soul goes to his cave; 1557 (but) thou marchest behind thy spirit towards Knm-'iwnw, 1557 like the successor of Hrti, chief of [Ns].t.

Art thou, O N., the god, the eldest, son of Hathor? 466 Art thou the seed of Geb? 467 Osiris has ordained that N. dawn as a second Horus. 467 Those four souls (spirits), who are in Heliopolis, have written it 467 in the register of the two Great Gods who are in b.w.

(419) 743 To say: Greetings to thee, N., on this thy day, 743 as thou standest before R`, when he ariseth in the east, 743 adorned with this thy dignity among the spirits. 743 The arms interlace for thee; the feet agitate for thee; the hands wave for thee. 744 Isis laid hold of thine arm; she caused thee to enter into the min.w. 744 The earth is adorned; thy mourners lament. 745 May Anubis First of the Westerners give an offering: 745 thy thousands of loaves of bread, thy thousands of mugs of beer, thy thousands of jars of ointment, 745 thy thousands of alabaster vases (of perfume), thy thousands of garments, 745 thy thousands of heads of oxen. 746 The mn-goose will be beheaded for thee; the trp-goose will be killed for thee. 746 Horus has exterminated the evil which was in N. in his four day (term); 746 Set has annulled that which he did against N. in his eight day (term). 747 The doors are open for those in secret places. 747 Stand up, remove thy earth, shake off thy dust, raise thyself up, 748 voyage thou with the spirits. 748 Thy wings are those of a falcon; thy brightness is that of a star. 748 No enemy (?) will bend over N.; 748 the heart of N. will not be taken; his heart will not be carried off. 749 N. is a great one with an uninjured wrr.t-crown. 749 N. equips himself with his firm (or, iron, shining) limbs. 749 N. voyages, over the sky to the Marsh of Reeds; 249 N. makes his abode in the Marsh of Offerings, 749 among the imperishable stars in the following of Osiris.

(519) 1201 Further, to say: O r.f-.f, doorkeeper of Osiris, 1201 Osiris has said: "Let this thy boat be brought for N., 1201 in which thy pure ones ferry, 1201 that thou mayest receive a libation in this eastern (?) quarter of the imperishable stars 1202 that N. may ferry in it 1202 with that band of green tissue, 1202 woven, as an eye of Horus, 1202 to bandage with it that finger of Osiris which became affected." 1203 N. arrives, ssw, ssw. 1203 The shoals of the great sea protect him. 1203 The double doors with windows (of heaven) are open; the double doors of the lower region are open. 1203 Ye Two Enneads, take N. with you 1203 to the Marsh of Offerings, in accordance with the dignity (quality) of N., (of the) lord of the 'imw.w. 1204 N. strikes with the `b-sceptre; N. directs with the 'i-t-sceptre; 1204 N. conducts the servants of R`. 1204 The earth has been refreshed; Geb has been censed 1204 the Two Enneads have been ndd (?); 1205 N. is a ba which passes among you, O gods. 1205 The p`t-pool (?) has been opened up; the p`t-pool has been filled with water; 1205 the Marsh of Reeds has been inundated; 1205 the Marsh of Offerings has been filled with water. 1206 They come to these four long-haired youths, 1206 who stand on the eastern side of the sky, 1206 and who prepare the two reed-floats for R`, 1206 that R` may go thereby to his horizon. 1206 They prepare the two reed-floats for N., 1206 that N. may go thereby to the horizon, to R`. 1207 O morning star, Horus of the D.t, the divine falcon, the great green (?), 1207 children of heaven, greetings to thee in these thy four faces, which are satisfied 1207 when they see those who are in Kns.t, 1207 who drive away the storm from those who are satisfied. 1208 Give thou these thy two fingers to N., 1208 which-thou gavest to the beautiful one (Nfr.t), daughter of the Great God, 1208 when the sky was separated from the earth, and when the gods ascended to heaven, 1209 whilst thou was a soul appearing in the bow of thy boat of 770 cubits (long), 1209 which the gods of Buto constructed for thee, which the eastern gods shaped for thee. 1210 N. is son of Khepri, born from the vulva, 1210 under the curls of 'Iw.-`., north of Heliopolis, out of the forehead of Geb. 1211 N. is he who was between the legs of Mnti-'irti, 1211 that night when be made the bread plain, 1211 that day when the heads of the mottled serpents were cut off. 1212 Take thou to thyself thy favourite m`b-harpoon, 1212 thy spear which seizes the canals, 1212 whose two points are the rays of the sun, 1212 whose two barbs are the claws of Mfd.t, 1212 with which N. cuts off the heads 1212 of the adversaries, who are in the Marsh of Offerings, 1213 when he descended to the ocean (great green). 1214 Bow thy head, decline thine arms (bow in humility), great green. 1213 The children of Nut are those who descend to thee, 1213 their garlands on their heads, 1213 their garlands of leaves on their necks; 1214 (those) who cause to flourish the crowns (of the North) of the canals of the Marsh of Offerings 1214 for the great Isis, who fastened on the girdle in Chemmis, 1214 when she brought her garment and burned incense before her son, Horus, the young child, 1215 when he was journeying through the land in his two white sandals, 1215 and went to see his father, Osiris. 1215 N. opened his way like fowlers; 1215 N. exchanged greetings with the lords of kas; 1216 N. went to the great island in the midst of the Marsh of Offerings, 1216 on which the gods cause the swallows to alight. 1216 The swallows are the imperishable stars. 1216 They give to N. the tree of life whereof they live, 1216 that N. may, at the same time, live thereof. 1217 (Morning Star), cause thou N. to ferry over with thee, 1217 to this thy great field, which thou didst subdue with the aid of the gods, 1217 (where) thou eatest at evening and at dawn, which is full of food. 1218 N. eats of that which thou eatest; 12 18 N. drinks of that which thou drinkest. 1218 Put thou the back of N. 1218 against the post, against it who is before its sisters. 1219 Thou (Morning Star) makest N. to sit down because of his truth 1219 (and) to stand up because of his venerableness. 1219 N. stands; he has taken (his) venerableness in thy presence, 1219 like Horus who took the house (heritage) of his father from the brother of his father, Set, in the presence of Geb. 1220 Put thou N. as a prince among the spirits, 1220 the imperishable stars of the north of the sky, 1220 who direct the offerings and protect the gifts, 1220 who cause to come those things (offerings and gifts) for those who preside over the kas in heaven.

(483) 1011 To say: The libation is poured which should be poured. Wp.w.wt is up. 1011 The sleeping ones are awake, awakened are those who should awake; Horus is awake. 1012 Raise thyself up, Osiris N., son of Geb, his, first(-born), 1012 before whom the Great Ennead tremble. 1012 Thou purifiest thyself on the first of the month, thou dawnest on the day of the new moon, for thee will be celebrated the three beginnings (of the divisions of the year). 1012 The great min.t mourns for thee, as for "Him who stands there without being tired," who resides at Abydos. 1013 Earth, hear that which Geb said, that he spiritualized Osiris as god, 1013 as the watchers of Buto appointed him, and the watchers of Hierakonpolis proclaimed him, 1013 like Seker, who is at the head of Pdw-s, 1013 (like) Horus-, and (like) mn. 1014 The earth speaks: "The portal of the D.t (var. kr) is open." 1014 The double doors of Geb are open for thee, before thee. Thy speech goes forth before Anubis; 1015 thy dignity, which is come out of the mouth of Anubis, is Horus, who is chief of his department (or, thigh-offering), 1015 he of tw.t, the lord of S'bw.t (the rebel city), 1015 the Upper Egyptian jackal god, nome-governor of the Great Ennead. 1016 Thou withdrawest thyself to heaven on thy firm throne; 1016 thou ferriest over the Winding Watercourse, while thy face is in the north of Nut. 1016 R` calls thee out of the 'iskn of heaven; 1016 thou approachest the god; Set fraternizes with thee. 1017 The odour of Ddwn is on thee, the Upper Egyptian youth; 1017 he gives thee his pure incense wherewith he censes the gods, 1017 at the birth of the two children (twins?) of the king of Lower Egypt, who are on the head of the lord of the great (crown). 1018 Thou hast abundance in the green herb, 1018 where abundance came to the children of Geb. 1018 Thy dismembered limbs are collected, thou who hast might over the Bows. 1019 May Anubis give an offering: The 'im-tree serves thee; the nbtree turns its head to thee; 1019 thou encirclest the sky like Swntw (or, Swnt).

(643) 1819 To say: Osiris N ----------------- 1819 ------- he lives. Thou art a god; [thou art powerful over the gods]. 1820 [An eye has gone forth from thy head, like] the Great-incharms, the Upper Egyptian white crown. 1820 -------------------- great 1820 s ---------------------- a thing gone out from him. 1821 ------------------ thy 1821 Thy ka stands among the gods ------------ thy ---- on earth. 1822 O N ------------------- 1822 draw the ka after thee; [draw life after thee] 1822 draw joy after thee; Osiris N -------------

N. anoints himself with that with which you anoint yourselves; 1512 N. clothes himself with that with which you clothe yourselves; 1512 N. lives on that on which you live; 1512 N. drinks that of which you [drink]. 1513 N. is safe with you, he lives on that on which you live. 1513 May you give him of those possessions which your father Geb gave you, 1513 (so that) because of which none of you may hunger, because of which none of you may rot. 1514 Lay hold of the arm of N. for life before the sweet-smelling ones, 1514 unite the bones of N., assemble his limbs, 1514 that N. may sit upon his throne. 1515 He rots not; he stinks not; 1515 N. is not bound (bewitched) by your wrath, O gods. 1516 N. is come to thee, mother of N.; he is come to Nut. 150 Make the sky mount for N.; place the stars upside down for him. 1516 Let his odour be like the odour of thy son, who is come forth from thee; 1516 let the odour of N. be like that of Osiris, thy son, who is come forth from thee. 1517 Nun, lift up the arm of N. towards the sky, that he may support himself (on) the earth which he has given to thee, 151 7 that he may ascend, that he may rise to the sky, 1517 that he may do service of a courtier to R`. 1518 Horus chief of the spirits, who is before the sweet-smelling ones, 1518 awake thou in peace, as R` awakes, in peace; 1518 awake in peace, as Mdi awakes in peace. 1519. Let him put the writing of N. in his register before the sweetsmelling ones. 37. THE RESURRECTION OF OSIRIS WITH WHOM THE GODS ARE SATISFIED,

(424) 768 To say: O N., this thy going, these thy goings; 768 is that going of Horus, by this his going, by these his goings, 769 as his runners hastened, so his envoys rushed on behind, 769 so that they might announce him to him who lifts up the arm in the East. 769 Rejoice, N., 769 thine arms are like those of Wpi.w, thy face like that of Wp-wwt. 770 O N., may the king make an offering, 770 that thou mayest occupy thy Horite regions, that thou mayest pass through thy Setite regions. 770 Thou sittest on thy firm throne, 770 thou directest their words to him who is at the head of the Great Ennead, who are in Heliopolis. 771 O N., Mnti-n-'irti protects thee, 771 thy herdsman, who is behind thy calves. 771 O N., `r--- protects thee against the spirits. 772 O N., know 772 that thou shalt take for thyself this thy divine offering, that thou mayest be satisfied with it every day: 773 thousands of loaves of bread, thousands of mugs of beer, thousands of heads of oxen, thousands of geese, 773 thousands of all sweet things, thousands of all textures. 7 74 O N., thy water belongs to thee, thy abundance belongs to thee, 774 thy natron belongs to thee, (all) which is brought to thee by thy brother, N.

(33) 24 To say: Osiris N., take to thyself this thy libation, which is offered to thee by Horus, 24 in thy name of "He who is come from the Cataract"; take to thyself the efflux (sweat) which goes forth from thee. 24 Horus has made me assemble for thee the gods from every place to which thou goest. 24 Horus has made me count (for) thee the children of Horus even to the place where thou wast drowned. 25 Osiris N., take to thyself thy natron, that thou mayest be divine. 25 Nut has made thee to be as a god to thine enemy (or, in spite of thee) in thy name of "god." 25 rnp.wi recognizes thee, for thou art made young in thy name of "Fresh water."

(574) 1485 To say: Greetings to thee, Sycamore, who protects the god, under which the gods of the underworld stand, 1485 whose tips are seared, whose inside is burned, (whose) suffering is real. 1486 Assemble those who dwell in Nun; collect those who are among the bows. 1486 Thy forehead is upon thine arm (in mourning) for Osiris, O Great Mooring-post, 1486 who art like her who is chief of the offering (to), and of the worship (?) of the lord of the East. 1487 Thou art standing, Osiris; thy shadow is over thee, Osiris; 1487 thy diadem repels Set, 1487 the generous damsel who acted for this spirit of G.ti is 1487 thy shadow, Osiris. 1488 Thy dread is among those in heaven; thy fear among those on earth. 1488 Thou hast hurled thy terror into the heart of the wings of Lower Egypt, dwelling in Buto. 1489 N. is come [to thee], Horus, heir of Geb, of whom Atum speaks; 1489 "all belongs to thee," say the Two Enneads; "all belongs to thee," thou sayest. 1490 It is even N. among them-the gods who are in heaven. 1490 Collect those who are among the bows; assemble those who are among the imperishable stars. 1491 N. rejoices; N. rejoices, O, 0. 1491 Day is day; night is night; R` is R`; 1491 --------------- he is for ever.

(461) 871 To say: O N., 871 thou ascendest (or, goest forth) as the morning star, and voyagest as the nti (master of the heavenly ocean). 871 Those who are in Nun fear thee; 871 thou commandest the spirits. 872 Isis laments for thee, Nephthys bemoans thee, 872 the great mni.t smites evil for thee, 872 as for Osiris in his suffering. 872 "Nunite," "Nunite," guard thee against the great sea. 873 Be seated on this thy firm throne, 873 that thou mayest command those of secret places. 873 The double doors of heaven are open for thee, the double doors of b.w are open for thee, 873 that thou mayest ferry over (pull the oar) to the Marsh of Reeds, 874 and till the barley and reap the spelt, 874 that thy livelihood may be secured thereby, like Horus, son of Atum.
