THE PAPYRUS OF ANI
THE EGYPTIAN BOOK OF THE DEAD
Translated by E.A. Wallis Budge
Part 28
THE CHAPTER OF NOT LETTING THE HEART-SOUL OF A MAN BE SNATCHED
AWAY FROM HIM IN KHERT-NETER. The Osiris the scribe Ani saith:--I,
even I, am he who cometh forth from the Celestial Water (Akeb). He
(Akeb) produced abundance for me, and hath the mastery there in the
form of the River.
(The following is from the Papyrus of Nefer-uben-f, Naville, op.
cit., I, Bl. 72.)
THE CHAPTER OF DRINKING WATER IN KHERT-NETER. The am khent priest,
Nefer-uben-f, whose word is truth, saith:- I, even I, am he who cometh
forth from the god Keb. The water-flood is given to him, he hath
become the master thereof in the form of Hapi. I, the am khent
Nefer-uben-f, open the doors of heaven. Thoth hath opened to me the
doors of Qebh (the Celestial Waters). Lo, Hepi Hepi, the two sons of
the Sky, mighty in splendour, grant ye that I may be master over the
water, even as Set had dominion over his evil power on the day of
the storming of the Two Lands. I pass by the Great Ones, arm to
shoulder, even as they pass that Great God, the Spirit who is
equipped, whose name is unknown. I have passed by the Aged One of
the shoulder. I am Nefer-uben-f, whose word is truth. Hath opened to
me the Celestial Water Osiris. Hath opened to me the Celestial Water
Thoth-Hapi, the Lord of the horizon, in his name of "Thoth, cleaver of
the earth." I am master of the water, as Set is master of his
weapon. I sail over the sky, I am Ra, I am Ru. I am Sma. I have
eaten the Thigh, I have seized the bone and flesh. I go round about
the Lake of Sekhet-Ar. Hath been given to me eternity without limit.
Behold, I am the heir of eternity, to whom hath been given
everlastingness.
