ake the holy
paths unto the Hemati abode [where is] the Lord of the exceedingly mighty
and terrible Soul. Horus hath commanded that ye lift up your faces so that
I may look upon you. I have risen up like the divine hawk, and Horus hath
made for me a spiritual body, through his own soul, to take possession of
that which belongeth to Osiris in the Tuat (underworld). I have bound up
the gods with divine tresses, and I have travelled on to those who ward
their Chambers, and who were on both sides of me. I have made my roads and
I have journeyed on and have reached those divine beings who inhabit their
secret dwellings, and who are warders of the Temple of Osiris. I have
spoken unto them with strength, and have made them to know the most mighty
power of him that is provided with two horns [to fight] against Suti; and
I make them to know concerning him that hath taken possession of the
divine food, and who is provided with the Might of Tem. May the gods of
the underworld [order] a prosperous journey for me! O ye gods who inhabit
your secret dwellings, and who are warders of the Temple of Osiris, and
whose numbers are great and multitudinous, grant ye that I may come unto
you. I have bound up and I have gathered together the powers of
Kesemu-enenet," or (as others say), "Kesemiu-enenet; and I have made holy
the Powers of the paths of those who watch and ward the roads of the
horizon, and who are the guardians of the horizon of Hemati which is in
heaven. I have stablished habitations for Osiris, I have made the ways
holy for him, I have done that which hath been commanded, I have come
forth to Tattu, I have seen Osiris, I have spoken unto him concerning the
matters of his first-born son whom he loveth and concerning the wounding
of the heart of Suti, and I have seen the divine one who is without life.
Yea, I have made them to know concerning the counsels of the gods which
Horus carried out while his father Osiris was not [with him]. Hail, Lord,
thou most mighty and terrible Soul! Verily, I, even I, have come, look
thou upon me, and do thou make me to be exalted. I have made my way
through the Tuat (underworld), and I have opened up the paths which belong
to heaven and also those which belong to earth, and I have suffered no
opposition therein. Exalted [be thou] upon thy throne, O Osiris! Thou hast
heard fair things, O Osiris! Thy strength is vigorous, O Osiris. Thy head
is fastened unto thee, O Osiris. Thy brow is stablished, O Os
