[Here] Begin The Chapters Of Sekhet-Hetepet, And The Chapters Of Coming Forth By Day, Of Entering Into And Coming Forth From Khert-Neter, Of Arriving In Sekhet-Aanru, And Of Living In Peace In The Great City, The Lady Of Winds.[The Osiris the scribe Ani, whose word is truth, saith:-] Let me be master
there. Let me be a khu there. Let me plough there. Let me reap there. Let me eat
there. Let me drink there. [Let me beget there]. Let me do there all the things
which one doeth upon earth. The Osiris Ani, whose word is truth, saith:- Horus
vanquished Set when [he] looked at the building of Sekhet-Hetepet. [He] spread
air over the Divine Soul in its Egg, in its day. He delivered the interior of
the body of Horus [from the Akeru Gods]. I have crowned him in the House of Shu.
His house is the stars. Behold, I take up my place in its nomes. He hath guided
the hearts of the Company of the Firstborn Gods. He hath reconciled the Two
Fighters (Horus and Set), the guardians of life. He hath done what is fair,
bringing an offering. He hath reconciled the Two Fighters with him that
belongeth to them. He hath cut off the hairy scalp of the Two Fighters. He hath
destroyed the revolts of [their] children. I have done away all the evil which
attacked their souls. I am master in [Sekhet-Hetepet]. I know it. I have sailed
over its lakes that I might arrive at the cities thereof. I have made strong my
mouth. The Spirit-souls are ready [to fight], but they shall not gain the
mastery over me. I am equipped in thy Fields, O god Hetep. What thou wishest
thou shalt do, [saith this god]. Here Begin The Chapters Of Sekhet-Hetepet, And The Chapters Of Coming Forth By Day; Of Going Into And Of Coming Forth From Khert-Neter; Of Arrival In Sekhet-Aaru; Of Living In Sekhet-Hetepet, The Mighty City, The Lady Of Winds; Of Having Power Therein; Of Becoming A Spirit-Soul There; Of Ploughing There; Of Reaping There; Of Eating There; Of Drinking There; Of Making Love There; And Of Doing Everything There Even As A Man Doeth Upon Earth. Nebseni, The Scribe And Draughtsman Of PtahSAITH:- Set vanguished Horus, who was looking at the building in
Sekhet-Hetepet. I set free Horus from Set. Set opened the paths of the Two Eyes
(the Sun and Moon) in the sky. Set ejected water with air upon the soul of his
Eye, which dwelt in the town of Mert; he delivered the interior of the body of
Horus from the hands of the Akeru Gods. Behold me! I paddle this great boat over
the Lake of the god Hetep; I seized upon it in the mansion of Shu. The mansion
of his stars reneweth youth, reneweth youth. I paddle over the Lakes thereof so
that I may arrive at the towns thereof. I sail up to the town of the god Hetep....
Behold, I am at peace with his times, and with his guidance, and with his will,
and with the Company of the Gods, who are his firstborn. He maketh the Two
Fighters (Horus and Set) to be at peace [with each other], and to keep ward over
the living whom he hath created in fair form, and he bringeth peace; he maketh
the Two Fighters to be at peace with those who watch over them. He cutteth off
the hair from their divine fighters, he driveth away storm from the children. He
guardeth from attack the Spirits. I have gained power therein. I know it. I have
sailed over its Lakes so that I might arrive at its towns. My mouth is strong. I
am equipped against the Spirits. They shall not gain the mastery over me. I am
rewarded [with] these thy Fields, O god Hetep. What thou wishest that do thou, O
lord of the winds. I shall be a spirit therein. I shall eat therein. I shall
drink therein. I shall plough therein. I shall reap the grain therein. I shall
be strong therein. I shall make love therein. My words shall be strong therein.
I shall not be in subjection therein. I shall be a man of might therein. Thou
hast made strong the mouth and throat. Hetep Qettbu is its name. [It is]
stablished upon the pillars of Shu, and is linked with the pleasant things of
Ra. He is the divider of years, the hidden of mouth; silent is his mouth, hidden
is what he uttereth, he fulfilleth eternity, he taketh possession of
everlastingness of existence as Hetep, Neb-Hetep. Horus maketh himself strong
like unto a hawk which is one thousand cubits in length, and two thousand cubits
in life. He that equipments with him, he journeyeth on, he cometh to the place
where his heart would be, among the Lakes which are in its towns. He begetteth
in the birth-chamber of the god of the town, he is satisfied with the food of
the god of the town; he doeth what ought to be done there, in the Field of
Smas-er-Khet..... everything of the birth-chamber of the god of the town. Now
[when he] setteth in the [land of] life like crystal he performeth everything
therein, [which things are] like unto the things done in the Lake Neserser,
wherein there is none that rejoiceth, and wherein are evil things of all kinds.
The god Hetep goeth in and cometh out, and marcheth hither and thither in the
Field of Smas-er-Khet, the Lady of the birth-chamber of the god of the town.
[Let me] live with the god Hetep, clothed, and not despoiled by the Lords of the
North, and may the Lord of things bring food unto me. May he make me to go
forward. May I come forth. May he bring to me my Power there, may I receive it,
and may I be rewarded by the god Hetep. May I be master of the great and mighty
word in my body in this my place. Make me to remember it. Let me [not] forget
it. Let me go forward, let me plough. I am at peace with the god of the town. I
know the water, the towns, the nomes, and the lakes which are in Sekhet-Hetepet.
I live therein. I am strong therein. I shine therein. I eat therein. I.....
therein. I reap the harvest therein. I plough therein. I beget children therein.
I am at peace therein with the god Hetep. Behold I sow seed therein. I sail
about on the lakes thereof, and I arrive at its towns, O god Hetep. Behold my
mouth is equipped, it possesseth horns . Give unto me the abundance of the KAU
(Doubles) and Spirit-souls. He who counteth me is Shu. I know him not. I come to
its towns. I sail over its lakes. I walk about in Sekhet-Hetepet. Behold, it is
Ra who is in heaven. Behold, it is Hetep [who is] its double offering of peace.
I have advanced to its territory. I have put on my apparel. I have come forth. I
have given what it was upon me to give. I have made glad in [my] heart. I have
conquered. I am strong. I have given directions to Hetep. |
