The Beginning of the Chapters of the Garden of Hotepit, and of the Chapters of coming forth by day; and of entering and coming forth in the Hereafter, and of arriving at the Garden of Aarru, at the Rise in Hotepit and at the Grand Domain, blest with the breezes: that I may take possession there and be in glory there: that there I may plough and mow: that there I may eat and drink and love: doing whatsoever things are done upon earth.

The double path which is nigh to Heaven is thrown open for me by God's leave. The day hath its portion of the breeze through the power of its own day, and God delivereth the faithful from the torment below.

Lo, I sail the great Bark on the stream of God the Peace. I took it at the mansion of the air.

The mansion of His stars is again and again renewed. I sail upon its streams that I may come to the domains thereof.

For I am in unison with His successive changes and His rules, and His writing, and His attendant angels, and His chieftains. He reconcileth those who have the charge of food and of the beautiful creation which He raiseth up; and He reconcileth those who contend with each other.

He severeth the mourners from those who quarrel with them: He putteth a stop to them whose hand is violent against those weaker than themselves: He keepeth within bounds the contentions of the powers.

May I have possession there.

I know it, and I sail upon its streams that I may come to the domains thereof.

My mouth is potent and secured against the wicked, that they may not have the mastery of me.

May I have the investiture of Thy Garden, O God the Peace. What Thou willest, do Thou.

Let me be glorified there, and eat and drink there, and plough there, and reap there, and grind there, and have my fill of love there.

May my mouth be potent there, let me there utter my words and not be slighted.

I am in possession of that word of mine which is the most potent one within this body of mine here: and by means of it I make myself either known or unknown.

I make my progress and I plough.

I take my rest in the Garden of God.

I know the names of the domains, the districts and the streams within the Garden of Peace.

I am there, I am master there, I am in glory there, I eat there; I plant and I reap there; I plough there, and I take my fill of love. I am at peace there in the nearness of God, the Peace.

I cast my seed there, and I sail upon its stream that I may come to the domains thereof.

Lo, my mouth is armed with sharp points. There is given to me the abundance which belongeth to the righteous.

I give the reckoning of the air to him who understandeth it.

I sail upon its stream, and I range within the Garden of Peace, for the sun is in the sky, and offerings are being gathered together in God's name.

I hasten to the land, and I fasten my robe upon me, that I may come forth, and that that may be given to me which hath to be given; that I may have joy and take possession of the wealth which God assigneth to me.

Rise in Peace, I arrive in thee, my soul is with me, and my provision is before me. God maketh fast my words, which recall to mind that which I have forgotten. Let me live free from strife; and be there granted to me enlargement of heart.

Let my arteries be made fast, and let me have the enjoyment of the Breeze.

Rise in Peace, blest with the Breeze, I arrive in thee, my head is uncovered: the sun sleepeth, but there waketh for me, and there shineth upon me, the light which lieth at the confines of Heaven by night.

He standeth in my way who heapeth against me his own dross.

But I am in my own domain.

Great Domain, I arrive in thee and I reckon up the abundance as I pass on to the Blooming Land.

I am raised on high in the blue; lord of the field, which the star Sothis describeth to me at her successive hours.

Blooming Land, I arrive in thee, and I eat my cakes, and take possession of my joints of flesh and meat and fowl.

The winged things of the air are given to me, and my good works follow me.

Land of Delicacies, I arrive in thee, I put on the robe and fasten upon me the girdle, whilst the sun is in heaven, and the angels who are in heaven are in the service of God.

Rise in Peace, Lord of the Two Earths, I arrive in thee: I salute the stream. Lo, here am I, and all impurity is far from me. The great one flourisheth ... I net the ducks, and I eat dainties.

Kankanit, I arrive in thee; that I may see my father and attentively view my mother.

I take care to net the reptiles; and that which protecteth me is that I know the name of that angel who is next, and who reapeth.

I myself plough and reap.

I arrive in thee, and I encounter the blue.

I follow the breezes, and the company of the angels.

It is God who hath given me my head, and it is He who fasteneth my head upon me, He who doeth according to His own will.

Land of Might, I arrive in thee, in face of the mansion where food is produced for me.

Land of Glory, I arrive in thee. My heart is awake: my head is provided with the white crown, and I am conveyed over the heavens: and I make those things to prosper which are below me: a joy to the company of the angels above.

I make my way through the midst of the emerald ones.

Isle of Corn and Barley, blessed district, I arrive in thee. I encounter and I bear off that which proceedeth from the light of the sun: the pair of horns which have the force of purification.

I make myself fast to the mooring on the heavenly stream, and I utter my praise to God, in the Garden of Peace.
