Chapter 1 | |
| 2250 BCE | ||
1. |
Once upon a time, there was no snake, there was no scorpion, |
|
2. |
There was no hyena, there was no lion, |
|
3. |
There was no wild dog, no wolf, |
|
4. |
There was no fear, no terror, |
|
5. |
Man had no rival. |
|
6. |
In those days, the land Shubur-Hamazi, |
|
7. |
Harmony-tongued Sumer, the great land of the me of princeship, |
|
8. |
Uri, the land having all that is appropriate, |
|
9. |
The land Martu, resting in security, |
|
10. |
The whole universe, the people well cared for, |
|
11. |
To Enlil in one tongue gave speech. |
|
12. |
Then the lord defiant, the prince defiant, the king defiant, |
|
13. |
Enki, the lord of abundance, whose commands are trustworthy, |
|
14. |
The lord of wisdom, who scans the land, |
|
15. |
The leader of the gods, |
|
16. |
The lord of Eridu, endowed with wisdom, |
|
17. |
Changed the speech in their mouths, put contention into it, |
|
18. |
Into the speech of man that had been one. |
