His wounds are effaced: 308 N. has purified himself with the eye of Horus; his wound is effaced by the two mourners of Osiris; 308 N. has let the running (of his wound) flow to the ground at u. 309 It is his sister, the lady of P, who wept for him. 309 N. is on his way to heaven; N. is on his way to heaven; on the wind; on the wind. 309 He is not hindered; there is no one by whom he is hindered. 309 N., he is "on his own," the eldest of the gods. 310 His bread comes on high with (that of) R`; 310 his offering comes out of Nun. 310 N. is one who comes again; 310 he goes, he comes with R`. 310 His houses are visited by him. 311 N. seizes kas; he frees kas; 311 he covers up evil; he abolishes evil. 311 N. spends the day; he spends, the night, while he appeases the two choppers in Wn.w. 311 Nothing opposes his foot; nothing restrains his heart.

(442) 819 To say: That Great One is certainly fallen on his side; be who is in Ndi.t is thrown down. 819 Thine arm is seized by R`; thy head is lifted up by the Two Enneads. 819 Behold, he is come (again) as ; behold, Osiris is come as . 820 lord of the wine-cellar at the Wg-feast, 820 "good," as his mother said; "heir," as his father said, 820 conceived by heaven, born of the Dw.t. 820 Heaven conceives thee together with S'; 820 N. is born in the Dw.t together with S'. 821 He lives who lives at the command of the gods; so wilt thou live. 821 Thou ascendest with S' on the eastern side of the sky; 821 thou descendest with S' on the western side of the sky. 822 Your third is Sothis of the pure places, 822 she is your leader (or, who will lead you) by the beautiful ways in heaven, 822 in the Marsh of Reeds. 21. SECOND SERIES IN PRAISE OF NUT,

(259) 312 To say: N. is Osiris in a dust-storm. 3112 The abomination of N. is the earth; he has, not entered into Geb, 312 that N. might perish; nor has he slept in his house on earth, 312 that the bones of N. might be broken. His wounds are effaced; 312 N. has purified himself with the eye of Horus; his wound is effaced by the two mourners of Osiris; 312 N. has let the running (of his wound) flow to the ground at u. 313 It is the sister of N., the lady P, who wept for him. 313 The two nurses (or, attendants), who wept for Osiris, wept for him. 313 N. is on his way to heaven; N. is on his way to heaven, with Shu and R`. 313 N. is not hindered; there is no one who hinders him. 313 N. is upon his feet, the eldest of the gods. 313 N. has no session in the divine court. 314 The bread of N. comes on high with (that of) R`; 314 his offering comes out of Nun. 314 N. is one who comes again; 314 N. goes with R`; N. comes with R`. 3, 4 His houses are visited by him. 3, 5 He covers up evil; he abolishes evil. 315 He seizes kas; he frees kas. 315 N. spends the day; he spends the night; N. frees the two choppers in Wn.w. 315 Nothing opposes the feet of N.; nothing restrains the heart of N. 8. THE DECEASED KING TRIUMPHS OVER HIS ENEMIES AND IS RECOGNIZED BY THE GODS,

(518) 1193 Further, to say: O 'Iw, ferryman of the Marsh of Offerings, 1193 bring for N. this (boat); N. goes, N. should come, 1194 the son of the Morning Boat whom she bore before the earth, his happy birth, 1194 whereby the Two Lands live, on the right side of Osiris. 1195 N. is the annual messenger of Osiris. 1195 Behold, he is come with a message from thy father Geb: 1195 "If the year's yield is welcome, how welcome is the year's yield; the year's yield is good, how good is the year's yield!" 1196 N. has descended with the Two Enneads in b.w; 1196 N. is the measuring line of the Two Enneads, 1196 by which the Marsh of Offerings is established. 1197 N. found the gods standing, 1197 wrapped in their garments, 1197 their white sandals on their feet. 1197 Then they threw their white sandals on the ground, 1197 they cast off their garments. 1198 "Our heart was not joyful until thou didst descend," say they; 1198 "may that which was said of you be that which you now are." 11199a. Stand up, Osiris, 1199 commend N. to those who are on "m is joyous" north of the Marsh of Offerings, 1199 like as thou didst commend Horus to Isis the day that thou didst impregnate her, 1200 that they may give food to N. in the fields, 1200 and that he may drink at the sources 1200 in the Marsh of Offerings.

(474) 939 To say: "How beautiful indeed it is to see," says she, said Isis; 939 "how fortunate indeed it is to see," says she, said Nephthys 939 to the king, to this Osiris N., 940 as he ascends to heaven among the stars, among the imperishable stars, 940 the lion-helmet (renown) of N. on his head, 940 his terror on both sides of him, his magic preceding him! 941 N. goes therewith to his mother Nut; 941 N. climbs upon her, in this her name of "Ladder." 941 The gods who inhabit heaven are brought to thee; they unite for thee with the gods who inhabit the earth, 941 that thou mayest be with them, that thou mayest go on their arms. 942 The Souls of Buto are brought to thee; the Souls of Hierakonpolis are united for thee. 942 "All belongs to N.," 942 so said Geb, who has spoken thereof with Atum. So it was done for him. 943 "The Marshes of Reeds, 943 the Horite regions, the regions of Set 943 all belongs to N.," 943 so said Geb, who has spoken thereof with Atum. So it was done for him. 944 He came against thee; he said he would kill thee. 944 He has not killed thee; it is thou who wilt kill him. 944 Thou holdest thine own against him, as the surviving bull of the wild-bulls. 945 Further, to say four times: N., thou remainest in life and joy; 945 N., thou shalt certainly remain in life and joy.

(515) 1176 To say: Two legs of Horus, two wings of Thot, 1176 ferry N. over; leave him not without a boat! 1177 Give thou bread to N.; give thou beer to N., 1177 from thy eternal bread, this thy everlasting beer. 1178 N. is by these two obelisks of R`, which are on earth; 1178 N. is by these two holy signs of R`, which are in heaven; 1179 N. goes on these two reed-floats of the sky which are before R`; 1179 he brings this jar of the libation of R`, 1179 which purifies the land of the south before R`, when he ascends in his horizon. 1180 (When) N. comes to the field of life, to the birthplace of R` in b.w, 1180 N. finds b.wt, daughter of Anubis; 1180 she approaches him with these her four nm.t-jars, 1180 with which she refreshes the heart of the Great God, on the day of awakening. 1181 She (also) refreshes the heart of N. therewith to life, 1181 she purifies N., she censes N. 1182 N. receives his provision from that which is in the granary of the Great God; 1182 N. is clothed with imperishable stars; 1182 N. presides over the two 'itr.t-palaces, 1182 he sits at the place of him equipped with the form (of a man).

(245) 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.

(268) 370 To say: N. washes himself, R` appears, the Great Ennead sparkles; 370 the Ombite is high as chief of the 'itr.t-palace; 371 N. puts humanity off from him as a limb; 371 N. seizes the wrr.t-crown from the hand of the Ennead. 371 Isis nurses him, Nephthys suckles him, 372 Horus takes him by his fingers (to his side), 372 he purifies N. in the lake of the jackal, 372 he makes, the ka of N. clean in the lake of the D.t. 372 He rubs down the flesh of the ka of N. and his own 372 with that which is near R` in the horizon, that which he (R`) took, 373 when the two lands beamed and when he bared the face of the gods. 373 He brings the ka of N. and himself to the great palace, 373 after offices (?) were made for him and the mtt was knotted for him. 374 N. leads the imperishable stars, 374 he ferries over to the Marshes of Reeds, 374 the inhabitants of the horizon row him, the inhabitants of b.w navigate him. 375 N. is very capable (mighty), his arms will not desert him; 375 N. is very excellent (foremost), his ka comes to him (to his aid).

(548) 1343 To say: The mouth of the earth opens for Osiris N.; Geb said to him: 1343 "N. is great like a king, mighty like R`." 1343 "Come in peace," say the Two Enneads to N. 1343 The eastern door of heaven is open for him, to the abode of kas. 1344 The great Nut gives her arms to him, she of the long horn, she of the protruding breast. 1344 She will nurse N.; she will not wean him. 1345 She takes him to herself to heaven, she does not cast him down to the earth. 1345 She makes this N. remain as chief of the two 'itr.t-palaces. 1345 He descends into the boat like R`, on the shores of the Winding Watercourse. 1346 N. rows in the nbw-boat, 1346 where he takes the helm, towards the field of the two lower heavens, 1346 to the beginning of this land of the Marsh of Reeds. 1347 His arm is taken by R`; his head is raised up by Atum; 1347 his forward cable is taken by Isis; his stern cable is seized by Nephthys. 1348 b.w.t places him at her side, and puts him among the nti.w-s, 1348 as the herdsmen of (his) calves.

(606) 1683 To say: Arise for me, father; stand up for me, Osiris N. 1683 It is I; I am thy son; I am Horus. 1684 I have come to thee, that I may purify thee, that I may cleanse thee, 1684 that I may revivify thee, that I may assemble for thee thy bones, 1684 that I may collect for thee thy flesh, that I may assemble for thee thy dismembered limbs, 1685 for I am as Horus his avenger, I have smitten for thee him who smote thee; 1685 I have avenged thee, father Osiris N., on him who did thee evil. 1686 I have come to thee by order of rw; 1686 (for) he has appointed thee, father Osiris N., (to be) upon the throne of R`-Atum, 1686 that thou mayest lead the blessed dead(?). 1687 Thou shalt embark into the boat of R`, in which the gods love to ascend, 1687 in which the gods love to descend, in which R` is rowed to the horizon; 1687 N. shall embark into it, like R`. 1688 Thou shalt seat thyself upon this throne of R`, that thou mayest command the gods, 1688 for thou art indeed R`, who comes forth from Nut, who gives birth to R` every day. 1688 N. is born every day like R`. 1689 Take to thyself the heritage of thy father Geb before the corporation of the Ennead in Heliopolis. 1689 "Who is equal to him?", 1689 say the Two great and mighty Enneads who are at the head of the Souls of Heliopolis. 1690 These two great and mighty gods have appointed thee 1690 --those who are chiefs of the Marsh of Reeds--upon the throne of rw, 1690 as their eldest son; 1691 they placed Shu at thy left (east side), Tefnut at thy right (west side), 1691 Nun before thee (at thy south side), Nnt behind thee (at thy north side); 1692 they lead thee to these their places, beautiful and pure, 1692 which they made for R` when they placed him upon their thrones (his throne). 1693 N., they make thee live, 1693 so that thou mayest surpass the years of Horus of the horizon, 1693 when they make thy (for "his") name, "Withdraw not thyself from the gods." 1694 They recite for thee this chapter, which they recited for R`Atum who shines every day; 1694 they have appointed N. to their thrones (his throne) 1694 at the head of every Ennead, as R` and as his deputy. 1695 They cause N. to come into being as R`, in this, his name of "Khepri." 1695 Thou mountest to them as R`, in this his name of "R`"; 1695 thou turnest back again from their face as R`, in this his name of "Atum." 1696 The Two Enneads shall rejoice, O father; 1696 when thou approachest, O father, Osiris N., they say: 1696 "Our; brother is come to us." 1696 The Two Enneads say to Osiris N.: "King, Osiris N., 1697 one of us is come to us." 1697 The Two Enneads say to thee: "King, Osiris N., 1698 the eldest son of his father is come to us." 1698 The Two Enneads say to thee: "King, Osiris N., 1698 he is the eldest son of his mother." 1698 The Two Enneads say to thee: "King, Osiris N., 1699 he to whom evil was done by his brother Set comes to us." 1699 The Two Enneads say: 1699 "And we shall not permit that Set be delivered from carrying thee for ever, king, Osiris N." 1699 The Two Enneads say to thee: "King, Osiris N., 1700. raise thyself up, king, Osiris N.; thou livest." 44.

(511) 1149 To say: Geb laughs, Nut smiles 1149 before him, (when) N. ascends to heaven. 1150 Heaven rejoices for him; the earth quakes for him; 1150 the tempest roars (lit. drives) for him. 1150 He howls (or, roars) like Set; 1151 a. the guardians of the parts (?) of heaven open the doors of heaven for him. 1151 He stands on Shu; 1151 he upholds the stars, in the shadow of the walls of god. 1152 He crosses the sky like Swnt; 1152 the third (with him) is Sothis of the pure places, 1152 for he purifies himself in the lakes of the Dw.t. 1153 The nmt-s-cow will make his ways pleasant; 1153 she will guide him to the great seat, which the gods made, which Horus made, which Thot begat. 1154 Isis will conceive him; Nephthys will bear him. 154 Then he will take his seat on the great throne which the gods made. 1155 Dw-w in jubilation and the gods in homage will come to him; 1155 the gods of the horizon will come to him on their face, 1155 and the imperishable stars, bowing. 1156 He takes the offering table; he directs the mouth of the gods; 1156 he supports the sky in life; he sustains the earth in joy; 1156 his right arm, it supports the sky in satisfaction (might 1156 his left arm, it sustains the earth in joy. 1157 He finds Stt, 1157 the crier, the door-keeper of Osiris. 1157 His abomination is ferrying over without doing 'isnw.t. 1158 He receives the wind of life, he breathes joy, 1158 and he abounds in divine offerings; 1158 he inhales wind and breathes out the wind of the North; 1158 he prospers among the gods. 1158 He is sharp like the great pd; 1159 he advances towards the two 'itr.t-palaces; 1159 he strikes with the 'b-sceptre and directs with the 'i.tsceptre. 1160 He puts his record among men, and his love among the gods, 1160 saying: "Say what is; do not say what is not; 1161 the abomination of a god is a deceitful word." 1161 Let him be tested! Thou shalt not speak (thus of) him. 1161 This N. is thy son; this N. is thine heir.

(513) 1168 To say: When father N. ascends to heaven among the gods who are in heaven; 1168 and when he stands by the great w`r.t; 1168 he hears the words of the blessed dead 1169 R` finds thee on the shores (or, lands) of the sky, in the ntiocean, in Nut. 1169 "He comes, who should come," say the gods. 1170 He gives thee his arm on (at) the 'iskn of the sky. 1170 "He comes who knows his place," say the gods. 1171 Pure one, assume thy throne in the boat of R`, 1171 that thou mayest sail the sky, that thou mayest mount above the ways (or, the far-off ways); 1171 that thou mayest sail with the imperishable stars; 1171 and that thou mayest voyage with the indefatigable (stars). 1172 Thou receivest the tribute of the evening boat; 1172 thou becomest a spirit in the D.t; 1172 thou livest in this sweet life in which the lord of the horizon lives. 1173 "Great Flood dwelling in Nut, who indeed has done this for thee?", 1173 say the gods who follow Atum. 1174 A greater than he hath done that for him, he who is north of the nti-ocean of Nut. 1174 He has heard his appeal; 'he has done for him what he said. 1174 He has received his, body in the court of the prince of Nun, 1174 before the Great Ennead.

(35) Great and mighty are these Secrets, and he that seeks and finds them, has surpassing Joy therein; for they are the true heavenly Bread for the Soul.

If, for example, there were any who had been the cause of many deaths, or had betrayed or enslaved cities or armies, or been guilty of any other evil behaviour, for each and all of their offences they received punishment ten times over, and the rewards of beneficence and justice and holiness were in the same proportion. /I need hardly repeat what he said concerning young children dying almost as soon as they were born. Of piety and impiety to gods and parents, and of murderers 7 , there were retributions other and greater far which he described. He mentioned that he was present when one of the spirits asked another, ‘Where is Ardiaeus the Great?’ (Now this Ardiaeus lived a thousand years before the time of Er: he had been the tyrant of some city of Pamphylia, and had murdered his aged father and his elder brother, and was said to have committed many other abominable crimes.) The answer of the other spirit was: ‘He comes not hither and will never come. And this,’ said he, ‘was one of the dreadful sights which we ourselves witnessed. We were at the mouth of the cavern, and, having completed all our experiences, were about to reascend, when of a sudden Ardiaeus appeared and several others, most of whom were tyrants; and there were also besides the tyrants private individuals

Utterance 497. 857 To say: The watered fields are satisfied, the canals are inundated 857 for N. on this day, 857 when his spirit is given to him, when his might is given to him. 858 Raise thyself up, N., take to thyself thy water; gather to thee thy bones. 858 Stand up upon thy feet; spirit art thou at the head of the spirits. 859 Raise thyself up for this thy bread, which cannot mould, 859 for thy beer, which cannot become sour, 859 by which thou shalt become spiritually mighty, by which thou shalt become pre-eminent, by which thou shalt become physically mighty, 859 by which thou shalt give thereof to him who was, before thee. O N., thou art glorious and thy successor is glorious.

Each of our members testifies to God's bounties towards us. Inquire now, I pray, of each one of your members; Inquire the detail of the bounties of the All-sustainer, Day and night you are eagerly asking for news, Since each member of your body issued from Not-being, How much pleasure has it seen, and how much pain?
