14 None among the G.o.ds shall [forsake him].
15 _Tutu._(1) "Zi-ukenna," "life of the people"
16 "He who fixed for the G.o.ds the glorious heavens;"
17 Their paths they took, they set
18 May the deeds (that he performed) not be forgotten among men.
19 _Tutu._ "Zi-azaga," thirdly, he called (him),-"he who effects purification,"
20 "G.o.d of the good wind," "Lord of hearing and obedience,"

29 (And) for their despite (?), created mankind."
30 "The merciful one," "He with whom is lifegiving,"
31 May his word be established, and not forgotten,
32 In the mouth of the black-headed ones (mankind) whom his hands have made.
33 _Tutu._ "Mu-azaga," fifthly, May their mouth make known his glorious incantation,
34 "He who with his glorious charm rooteth out all the evil ones,"
35 "Sa-zu," "He who knoweth the heart of the G.o.ds," "He who looketh at the inward parts,"
36 "He who alloweth not evil-doers to go forth against him,"
37 "He who a.s.sembleth the G.o.ds," appeasing their hearts,
38 "He who subdueth the disobedient,"...
39 "He who ruleth in truth (and justice"), ...
40 "He who setteth aside injustice," ...
41 _Tutu._ "Zi-si" ("He who bringeth about silence"), ...
42 "He who sendeth forth stillness." ...
43 _Tutu._ "Su?-kur," "Annihilator of the enemy," ...
44 "Dissolver of their agreements," ...
45 "Annihilator of everything evil." ...

108 And as Kirbi-Tiamtu he circ.u.mvented restlessly,
109 His name shall be Nibiru, he who seized Kirbiu (Tiamtu).
110 Let him direct the paths of the stars of heaven,
111 Like sheep let him pasture the G.o.ds, the whole of them.
112 May he confine Tiamtu, may he bring her life into pain and anguish,
113 In man's remote ages, in lateness of days,
114 Let him arise, and he shall not cease, may he continue into the remote future
