Chapter 14 | |
1. |
The Great El, Father Shunem, declares of the lost God Baal: "For perished is the Prince, Lord of Earth. |
|
2. |
And if Aliyan Baal is alive, |
|
3. |
And if the Prince, Lord of Earth, exists, |
|
4. |
In a dream of the God of Mercy, |
|
5. |
In a vision of the Creator of Creatures, |
|
6. |
Let the heavens rain oil, |
|
7. |
The wadies run with honey, |
|
8. |
That I may know that Aliyan Baal is alive, |
|
9. |
That the Prince, Lord of Earth, exists." |
|
10. |
In a dream of the God of Mercy, |
|
11. |
In a vision of the Creator of Creatures, |
|
12. |
The heavens rain oil, |
|
13. |
The wadies run with honey, |
|
14. |
The God of Mercy rejoices. |
|
15. |
His feet He sets on the footstool. |
|
16. |
He cracks a smile and laughs. |
|
17. |
He lifts His voice And shouts: "Let Me sit and rest, And let My soul repose in My breast. |
|
18. |
For Aliyan Baal is resurrected, For the Prince, Lord of Earth, exists." |
|
19. |
Aloud shouts El to the Virgin Anath: "Hear, O Virgin Anath, Say to the Torch of the Gods, Shapash: 'Over the furrows of the fields, O Shapash, Over the furrows of the fields let El set Thee. |
|
20. |
As for the Lord of the Plowed Furrows, Where is Aliyan Baal? |
|
21. |
Where is the Prince, Lord of Earth?'" |
|
22. |
The Virgin Anath departs. |
|
23. |
Then She sets face toward the Torch of the Gods, Shapash. |
|
24. |
She lifts Her voice And shouts: "The message of Bull-El, Thy father, The word of the God of Mercy, Thy begetter: |
|
25. |
'Over the furrows of the fields, O Shapash, Over the furrows of the fields let El set Thee! |
|
26. |
As for the Lord of the Furrows of His plowing, Where is Aliyan Baal? |
|
27. |
Where is the Prince, Lord of Earth?'" |
|
28. |
And the Torch of the Gods, Shapash, replies: "I shall seek Aliyan Baal!" |
|
29. |
And the Virgin Anath answers: "As for Me, tis not I, O Shapash! |
|
30. |
As for Me, tis not I, but El summons Thee! |
|
31. |
May the Gods guard Thee in Sheol!" |
|
32. |
Shapash descends into the underworld. She enters the realm of Sheol. |
