THE PAPYRUS OF ANI
THE EGYPTIAN BOOK OF THE DEAD
Translated by E.A. Wallis Budge
Part 33
THE CHAPTER OF BREATHING THE AIR AND OF HAVING POWER OVER WATER IN
KHERT-NETER. The Osiris Ani saith:- Open to me! Who art thou?
Whither goest thou? What is thy name? I am one of you. Who are these
with you? The two Merti goddesses (Isis and Nephthys). Thou separatest
head from head when [he] entereth the divine Mesqen chamber. He
causeth me to set out for the temple of the gods Kem-heru.
"Assembler of souls" is the name of my ferry-boat. "Those who make the
hair to bristle" is the name of the oars. "Sert" ("Goad") is the
name of the hold. "Steering straight in the middle" is the name of the
rudder; likewise, [the boat] is a type of my being borne onward in the
lake. Let there be given unto me vessels of milk, and cakes, and
loaves of bread, and cups of drink, and flesh, in the Temple of Anpu.
RUBRIC: If the deceased knoweth this Chapter, he shall go into,
after coming forth from Khert-Neter of [the Beautiful Amentet].
THE CHAPTER OF SNUFFING THE AIR, AND OF HAVING POWER OVER THE
WATER IN KHERT-NETER. The Osiris Ani saith:- Hail, thou Sycamore
tree of the goddess Nut! Give me of the [water and of the] air which
is in thee. I embrace that throne which is in Unu, and I keep guard
over the Egg of Nekek-ur. It flourisheth, and I flourish; it liveth,
and I live; it snuffeth the air, and I snuff the air, I the Osiris
Ani, whose word is truth, in [peace].
