PTAH/ ENKI

HYMN TO PTAH

Hail to thee, Ptah, father of gods
Ta-tenen, father of the primordial gods
Sacred god with noble shapes
very dreaded
who is in the Venerable- Siege
of which authority is powerful,
the prestigious manifestations,
the considerable strength
which brings everything away in his power
august power, beloved,
with beautiful face, with prestigious appearance
Lord of the Double Feather
with brilliant splendor,
luminous who makes the gods live
radiant, who rises in his horizon,
who enlightens the Double- Country with his charm
Lord of the Light,
glittering with brightness when he rises in any eye,
living who drills the darkness,
radiant solar disk which crosses the distant heaven and crosses the Douat.
***
The Pharaoh comes to thee, ô Ptah,
he comes to thee, god with distinguished shapes !
Hail to thee ! In front of the primordial gods whom you created
after having come to existence as divine body
(while) the sky had not yet come to existence,
while the earth had not yet come to existence
while the stream had not sprung.
Thou fashioned the earth;
Thou assembled your fleshes
Thou counted your limbs;
Thou were unique, having made his place
god who melted the Double-Country
Thou had no father who engendered thee when thou came to existence,
no mother who gave birth to thee.
***
Let’s go, let’s sing hyms for him
Him who created the gods, the men and all the animals,
who created all the countries, the banks and the very green (= the sea)
on his behalf of fashioner of Country !
Let’s go, let’s sing hyms for him !
Him who brought the Nile outside its cave,
who makes turn green the fruit tree,
who creates the necessary of what ceaselessly goes out of him,
on his behalf of respectable Noun !

ENLIL

HYMN OF ENLIL

“The gate of Heaven
The bars of Heaven
The fastenings of Heaven
The bolts of Heaven
Thou openest
Thou pullest back
Thou loosenest
Thou removest.”

He protects the life of both man and beast. In doing so, he does not neglect even the smallest and most insignificant creature that makes sprout, and gives the grain.

Endowed with extraordinary powers and great authority, Enlil had for emblem a bright scepter. This scepter, symbol of authority and power, also embodied the “pen” with which he writes and transmits the will of Ea / Enki.
