THE PAPYRUS OF ANI
THE EGYPTIAN BOOK OF THE DEAD
Translated by E.A. Wallis Budge
Part 43
(From the Papyrus of Nu, Sheet 13)
Hail, thou god Tem, who comest forth from the Great Deep, who
shinest gloriously under the form of the twin Lion-gods, send forth
with might thy words unto those who are in thy presence, and let the
Osiris Nu enter into their assembly. He hath performed the decree
which hath been spoken to the mariners at eventide, and the Osiris Nu,
whose word is truth, shall live after his death, even as doth Ra every
day. Behold, most certainly Ra was born yesterday, and the Osiris Nu
was born yesterday. And every god shall rejoice in the life of the
Osiris Nu, even as they rejoice in the life of Ptah, when he appeareth
from the Great House of the Aged One which is in Anu.
THE CHAPTER OF COMING FORTH BY DAY AFTER FORCING AN ENTRANCE THROUGH
THE AAMHET. The Osiris Ani saith:- Hail, Soul, thou mighty one of
terror! Verily, I am here. I have come. I behold thee. I have passed
through the Tuat. I have seen Father Osiris. I have scattered the
gloom of night. I am his beloved one. I have come, I have seen my
Father Osiris. I have stabbed the heart of Suti. I have made offerings
to my Father Osiris. I have opened every way in heaven and on the
earth. I am the son who loveth his Fathers (sic) Osiris. I am a
Spirit-body. I am a Spirit-soul. I am equipped. Hail, every god and
every Spirit-soul. I have made the way [to Osiris]. I the Osiris the
scribe Ani, whose word is truth.
THE CHAPTER OF MAKING A MAN TO RETURN TO LOOK UPON HIS HOUSE ON
EARTH. The Osiris Ani saith:- I am the Lion-god who cometh forth
with long strides. I have shot arrows, and I have wounded my prey. I
have shot arrows, and I have wounded my prey. I am the Eye of Horus, I
traverse the Eye of Horus at this season. I have arrived at the
domains. Grant that the Osiris Ani may come in peace.
ANOTHER CHAPTER OF THE COMING FORTH OF A MAN BY DAY AGAINST HIS
ENEMIES IN KHERT-NETER. [The Osiris Ani saith:-] I have divided the
heavens. I have cleft the horizon. I have traversed the earth
[following in] his footsteps. I have conquered the mighty Spirit-souls
because I am equipped for millions of years with words of power. I eat
with my mouth. I evacuate with my body. Behold, I am the God of the
Tuat! Let these things be given unto me, the Osiris Ani, in perpetuity
withou fail or diminution.
