18 to watch over iniquity and sit in Seb's great dwelling are giving
authority to its Lord.(455) The reign of justice belongs to him. Horus has
found his justification; given to him is the title of his father, he
appears with the royal fillet,
19 by the orders of Seb. He takes the royalty of the two worlds; the crown
of the _superior_ region is fixed on his head. He judges the world as he
likes: heaven and earth are below the place of his face: he commands
mankind; the intelligent beings, the race of the Egyptians, and the
northern barbarians.(456) The circuit
20 of the solar disk is under his management, the winds, the waters, the
wood of the plants and all vegetables. A god of seeds, he gives all herbs
and the abundance of the ground. He affords plentifulness(457) and gives
it to all the earth.
21 All men are in ecstasy, hearts in sweetness, bosoms in joy; everybody
is in adoration. Everyone glorifies his goodness: mild is his love for us;
his tenderness environs (our) hearts: great is his love in all bosoms. The
22 Son of Isis has justice rendered him: his foe falls under his fury, and
the evil-doer at the sound of his voice: the violent is at his final hour,
the Son of Isis, father avenger, approaches him.
23 Sanctifying, beneficent is his name; veneration finds its place:
respect immutable for his laws: the path is open, the footpaths are
opened: both worlds are at rest: evil flies and earth becomes fecundant
peaceably under its Lord. Justice is confirmed
by its Lord who pursues iniquity.
24 Mild is thy heart, O Ounnefer, son of Isis! he has taken the crown of
the Upper region: to him is acknowledged his father's authority in the
great dwelling of Seb: Phra when speaking, Thoth in writing,
25 the divine Chiefs are at rest.
What thy father Seb has commanded for thee, let that be done according to
his word.
(This Egyptian "So be it" ends the hymn. Below this is the usual formula.)
Oblation to Osiris living in the west, Lord of Abydos: may he allow
funereal gifts: bread, liquor, oxen, geese, clothes, incense, oil, all
gifts of vegetation:
To make the transformations, to enjoy the Nile, to appear as a living
soul, to see the solar disk every morning: to go and to come in the
Ru-sat: that the soul may not be repulsed in the Neter-Kher. To be
gratified(458) among the favored ones, in presence of Ounnefer, to take
the aliments presented on the altars of the great god, to breathe the
delicio
