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.

(576) 1500 To say: Osiris was placed upon his side by his brother Set; 1500 he who is in Ndi.t stirs; his head is raised up by R`; 1500 his abomination is to sleep; he hates to be tired; 1501 N. rots not; he stinks not; 1501 N. is not bound (bewitched) by your wrath, O gods. 1502 Awake thou in peace; 1502 Osiris awakes in peace; he who is in Ndi.t awakes in peace. 1503 His head is lifted up by R`; his odour is [as] that of the 'I.twt.t-serpent. 1503 The head of N. also is lifted up by R`; the odour of N. is as that of 'I.t-wt.t-serpent. 1504 He rots not; he stinks not, 1504 N. is not bound (bewitched) by your wrath, O gods. 1505 N. is thy seed, Osiris, the pointed, 1505 in his name of "Horus in the great green"; "Horus chief of spirits." 1506 N. rots not; he stinks not; 1506 he is not bound (bewitched) by your wrath, O gods. 1507 N. goes forth from his house, adorned like Horus, bedecked like Thot; 1507 the mother of N. is thy Heliopolitan, O god; the father of N. is a Heliopolitan; 1507 N. himself is thy Heliopolitan, O god. 1508 N. is conceived by R`; he is born of R`. 1508 N. is thy seed, O R`, the pointed, 1508 in his name of "Horus, chief of spirits, star which ferries over the "great green." 1509 N. rots not; he stinks not; 1509 he is not bound (bewitched) by your wrath, O gods. 1510 N. is one of those four gods, born of Geb, 1510 who travelled over the South, who travelled over the land of [the North], 1510 who leaned upon their dm-sceptres, 1511 anointed with the best ointment, clothed in [purple], 1511 living on figs, drinking wine. 1512 a. 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,

(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.
