THE PAPYRUS OF ANI
THE EGYPTIAN BOOK OF THE DEAD
Translated by E.A. Wallis Budge
Part 59
(From the Papyrus of Nu)
That which is an abomination unto me is death; let me not go into
the chamber of torture which is in the Tuat. I am the delight of the
Khu of Osiris. I make to be content the heart[s] of those who dwell
among the divine things which are beloved [by me]. They cause the fear
of me [to abound], they create the awe of me to be in those divine
beings who dwell in their own circles. Behold, I am exalted on my
own standard, and upon my throne, and upon my seat which is assigned
[to me]. I am the god Nu, and those who commit sin shall not destroy
me. I am the firstborn of the primeval god, and my soul is the Souls
of the Eternal Gods, and my body is Everlastingness. My created form
is [that of] the god Eternity, the Lord of Years, and the Prince of
Everlastingness. I am the Creator of the Darkness, who maketh his seat
in the uttermost limits of the heavens, [which] I love. I arrive at
their boundaries. I advance upon my two legs. I direct my resting
place. I sail over the sky. I fetter and destroy the hidden serpents
which are about my footsteps [in going to] the Lord of the Two Arms.
My soul is the Souls of the Eternal Gods, and my body is
Everlastingness. I am the exalted one, the Lord of the Land of Tebu. I
am the Child in the city: "Young man in the country" is my name.
"Imperishable one" is my name. I am the Soul Creator of Nu. I make
my habitation in Khert-Neter. My nest is invisible, my egg is not
broken. I have done away the evil which is in me. I shall see my
Father, the Lord of the Evening. His body dwelleth in Anu. I am made
to be the Light-god, a dweller in the Light-god, over the Western
Domain of the Hebt bird.
