(274) 393 To say: The sky is overcast, the stars are darkened, 393 the bows are agitated, the bones of the earth-gods quake. 393 The agitations cease 394 after they have seen N. dawning (as) a ba, 394 as a god, who lives on his fathers and feeds on his mothers. 394 N. is lord of craftiness, whose name his mother knows not. 395 The honour of N. is in heaven, his might is in the horizon, 395 like his father, Atum, who begat him. He has begotten him mightier than he. 396 The kas of N. are behind him, his maid-servants are under his feet, 396 his gods are over him, his uraeus-serpents are upon his brow; 396 the leader-serpent of N. is on his forehead, she who perceives the soul (of the enemy), (as) a diadem, a flame of fire; 396 the might of N. is for his protection. 397 N. is the bull of heaven, who (once) suffered want and decided (lit. gave in his heart) to live on the being of every god, 397 who ate their entrails (?) when it came (to pass) that their belly was full of magic 397 from the Isle of Flame. 398 N. is equipped, he who has incorporated his spirits. 398 N. dawns as the Great One, lord of those with (ready) hands. 398 He sits, his side towards Geb (the earth). 399 It is N. who judges with him whose name is hidden, 399 (on) this day of slaying the eldest (gods). 399 N. is lord of offerings, who knots the cord, 399 who himself prepares his meal. 400 N. is he who eats men and lives on gods, 400 lords of messengers, who distributes orders. 401 It is "Grasper-of-the-top-knot" who is in k.w who lassoes them for N. 401 It is "The serpent with raised head (dr-tp)" who watches them (the gods) for N., who repels them for him. 401 It is "He who is upon the willows" who binds them for N. 402 It is "Khonsu who slaughters the lords (gods)," in that he beheads them for N., 402 and takes out for him what is in their body. 402 He (Khonsu?) is the messenger whom he (N.) sends forth to punish. 403 It is Ssm.w who cuts them up for N., 403 cooking for him a meal of them in his evening cooking-pots. 403 It is N. who eats their magic and swallows their spirits; 404 their Great Ones are for his morning meal, 404 their middle-sized ones are for his evening meal, 404 their little ones are for his night meal, 404 their old men and old women are for his incense-burning (or, fire). 405 It is "The Great Ones in the north side of heaven" who lay for him the fire 405 to the kettles containing them, with the thighs of their eldest (as fuel). 406 The inhabitants of heaven wait on N., 406 when the hearth was constructed for him with (out of) the legs of their women. 406 He has completely encircled the two heavens; he has revolved about the two lands. 407 N. is the great mighty one, who has power over the mighty ones. 407 N. is the `hm-falcon, who surpasses the `hm-falcons--the great falcon. 407 Whom he finds on his way, he eats for himself bit by bit. 407 The respect of N. is before (first of) all noble ones, who are in the horizon. 408 N. is a god older than the eldest. 408 Thousands serve him; hundreds make offering to him. 408 A certificate as (of) a mighty, great one is given to him by , father of the gods. 409 N. has dawned again in heaven; he is crowned with the Upper Egyptian crown as lord of the horizon. 409 He has smashed the dorsal vertebra; 409 he has carried off the hearts of the gods; 410 he has eaten the red crown, he has swallowed the green one; 410 N. feeds on the lungs of the wise ones; 410 he is satisfied by living on hearts as well as their magic. 411 N. is disgusted when he licks the emetics which are in the red crown, 411 (but) he is delighted when their magic is in his belly. 411'c. The dignities of N. shall not be taken from him, 411 (for) he has swallowed the intelligence of every god. 412 The lifetime of N. is eternity, its limit is everlastingness 412 in this his dignity of "If he wishes he does, if he wishes not he does not," 412 who is within the boundary of the horizon for ever and ever. 413 Behold, their soul (of the gods) is in the belly of N., their spirits are with N., 413 as his soup � la ntr.w, cooked for N. from their bones, 413 Behold, their soul is, with N., their shadows are taken away from the hand of those to whom they belong. 414 N. is as that which dawns, which dawns, which endures, which endures. 414 The doers of evil shall not be able to destroy 414 the favourite place of N. among the living in this land for ever and ever. 11.
