they like to exalt his name to the first rank. Through him all are in
abundance; Lord of fame in heaven and on earth. Multiplied (are his)
acclamations in the feast of Ouak; acclamations are made to him by the
9 two worlds unanimously. He is the eldest, the first of his brothers, the
Chief of the gods, he it is who maintains justice in the two worlds, and
who places the son in the seat of his father; he is the praise of his
father Seb, the love of his mother Nou; very valiant, he overthrows the
impure; invincible, he strikes
10 his opponent, he inspires his fear to his enemy; he seizes the wicked
one's boundaries; firm of heart, his feet are vigilant: he is the
offspring of Seb, ruling the two worlds. He (Seb) has seen his virtues and
has commanded him to conduct
11 the nations by the hand continually.(449) He has made this world with
his hand, its waters, its atmosphere, its vegetation, all its flocks, all
its flying things, all its fish, all its reptiles and quadrupeds. Justice
is rendered to the
12 Son of Nou and the world is at quiet when he ascends the seat of his
father like the sun: he shines at the horizon, he enlightens the darkness,
he illuminates shades by his double plume:(450) he inundates the world
like
13 the sun every morning. His diadem predominates at top of heaven and
accompanies(451) the stars: he is the guide(452) of all the gods.
He is beneficent in will and words: he is the praise of the great gods and
the love of the small gods.
His sister took care of him, by dissipating his enemies,
14 repelling (bad) luck; she sends forth her voice by the virtues(453) of
her mouth: wise of tongue, no word of hers fails. She is beneficent in
will and speech: It is Isis the beneficent, the avenger of her brother:
she unrepiningly sought him:
15 she went the round of the world lamenting him: she stopped not till she
found him: she shadowed with her wings; her wings caused wind, making the
invocation of her brother's burial;
16 she raised the remains of the god of the resting heart: she extracted
his essence: she had a child, she suckled the baby in (loneliness) secret;
none know where that happened.
The arm (of the child) has become strong in the great dwelling
17 of Seb.(454) The gods are joyous at the arrival of Osiris, son of Horus
intrepid, justified, son of Isis, heir of Osiris. The divine Chiefs join
him: the gods recognize the Universal Lad himself. The Lords of justice
there unit
