And like the great gods, the exalted one, he will become a widow.
In all the Igigi, as many as there are, speak! The door is open. New one.
You are one who has sinned against me, you are one who has sinned against me.
You are one who has sinned against me, and you have sinned against me.
You are the one who has sinned. You are a slanderer.

Among all of the Igigi, as many as there are, command life for me.
The one you strike, you also heal.
The one you curse, you also bless.
The one with whom you become angry, you also are reconciled.
Stand here, O my lady; forgive my guilt.
With you, may Anu, father of the great gods, stand.

The work that he received from me ...... he swore to the gods.
To the creator of wisdom, ..., the one who gives praises,
Ishtar ... made a favorable word for the one who resides in the Emashmash.
To the queen of the gods, whose command is supreme, her hand.
To the lady of Nineveh, the most exalted of the gods,
To the son of Sin, the one who loves the sun, who rules all kingship,
To the one who decides the case, the god, the totality,
To the lady of the heavens and the earth, who receives prayers,
To the one who hears prayers, accept my prayer.
To the merciful god who loves justice,
O Ishtar, the lady whose protection is pleasing to her,
I have seen the reeds, I have seen the reeds.
May your heart be reconciled with my utterance.
May your mood be reconciled with my utterances.
May my heart be enraged, my sister, when I am frightened,
I, Ashurnasirpal, am the most exalted one, your servant.
Who reveres your divinity, the perfect one, your beloved,
Who establishes Pad-Ishtar-priests, who does not break your oath, who gives your life,
Who carries out the supplications of your supplications, who makes your throne firm,
Who provides the kurunnu-offerings, who pleases your heart, who loves you,
son of Shamshi-Adad I, king who reveres the great gods.
I grew up and in the mountains, which no one knows,
I am not frightened, I am not afraid of your lordship.
The people of Assyria do not know me, do not fear your divinity.
You, Ishtar, are the most exalted of the great gods.
By your merciful eyes you gave me strength and I slew my lordly majesty.
They have taken me out of the mountain and given me to shepherd the people.
You have established the scepter of the shrines for the habitations of the inhabited world.
You, Ishtar, have made the word of my name abundant.
You give her a firm positive answer, a firm positive answer.
By your command I have gone out, I have made the dead gods dwell.
I am the one who restores the ruined Ekur temples.
I re-established the sanctuaries of the gods and returned to their places.
They imposed the yoke and the scepter on them.
I had a bed of cypress, a firm foundation, a garment that protects your divinity, made.
Whose interior is clad with gold, whose hands are adorned with awe-inspiring brilliance.
I surrounded her with precious stones from the high mountains, like the father of the ilimmû-demon.
I made it shine like a halo, I made it shine like a halo.
I made her shine like the sun. For the rejoicing of the heart,
In Emashmash, the dwelling of the lalukku-priests, which you love,
I have sworn by the name of the god, my lord, that I may be well.
You have sinned against me, why have you sinned against my life?
He slit my flesh, he slit my veins.
... ... ... he sat down inside.
... ... he will be sated .
That which befell me . . . among? the gods, I shall recount.
To the creator of wisdom, . . . are worthy of renown,
To the one who dwells in the Emashmash, Ishtar . . . who extols my name,
To the queen of the gods, into whose hands all? the cultic rites are bestowed,
To the lady of Nineveh, the hero of the gods, the most exalted one,
To the daughter of Sin, the beloved sister of Shamash, who governs the totality of kingship,
To the one who decides lawsuits, the goddess of absolutely everything,
To the lady of the heavens and the earth, who receives petitions,
To the one who hears prayer, who accepts supplication,
To the merciful goddess, who loves justice,
O Ishtar, the lady whose nature it is to restore to life,
I will set forth? in your presence all the trials I have experienced.
Give ear to my wearied utterance,
May your mood be appeased at my afflicted speaking.
Look upon me, O lady, that I am turned to you. May your heart show concern for me!
I am Ashurnashirpal, the afflicted one, your servant,
The humble one, who fears your divinity, the trustworthy one, your beloved,
Who furnishes your offerings, who never ceases providing your food offerings,
Who yearns for your festivals, who provisions your sanctuaries,
Who abundantly supplies the kurunnu-beer, which you love, the desire of your heart,
The son of Shamshi-Adad, the king who fears the great gods.
I was born in the mountains, in a place that no one knows.
I did not give your rulership consideration. I never entreated you.
The people of the land of Ashur did not know me; they were not in the habit of appealing to your divinity.
You, O Ishtar, great, terrifying dragon of the gods,
With the lifting of your eyes, you recognized me and desired my lordship.
You took me from the midst of the mountains and called me to shepherd the peoples.
You established my righteous staff to sustain the habitations long into the future.
You, O Ishtar, glorified my name.
You granted me resolve to rescue and to spare those loyal to me.
According to your command lit. in the going forth of your mouth to renew the amassed gods i.e., divine images,
I myself renovated the decrepit temples.
I repaired the ruined gods i.e., divine images and returned them to their place.
I established their share and offerings perpetually.
I built a bed of boxwood, a comfortable resting place that provides your divinity with rest,
Whose interior I gilded with the very best lit. selected, appropriate gold.
I decorated it with choice precious stones from the mountains, like? . . .
I purified it so that one could observe it from afar. I filled it with splendor.
I made it radiant like the rays of the sun, worthy to behold.
I installed it in Emashmash, the luxurious dwelling that you love.
Given all of this, how have I slighted you so as to bear my present hardship?
You have covered me with sickness. Why am I at death's door lit. has my breath become short?
It i.e., the sickness made my body lit. sinews feverish; it ruined my frame.
Panic, terror, . . . my throat became blocked.
. . . . . . . . . he/it fixed firmly on the inside?
. . . he/it brought . . . to an end.
. . . and? . . . . .
. . . . . . . . .

The eyes of the bright stars, the treasure of scribal art, were on my mind.
As to the one who among the kings who came before me did not obey this task, I have now sent him to the king, my lord.
