Plain text of Chapter LXXX

Chapter whereby one giveth light to the darkness.

It is I who complete the vesture of the primal waters, the light which shineth before Him, lighting up the darkness. I unite with the two brothers who are upon me through the mighty words of power of my mouth. I raise up the fallen one who cometh after me. I fall along with him in the vale of Abydos when I go to rest.

I have seized upon Hu from the place in which I found him. And I have lifted off the darkness through my power. I have rescued the eye from its eclipse against the coming of the fifteenth day, and balanced the storm in the mansions above.

I have equipped the Wise [with light] in the house of the moon.

I seize upon the crown. Truth is upon me, and the emerald and the crystal of her months.

This field of mine is of azure in the festival thereof.

I lighten up the darkness and overthrow the devouring monsters.

Those who are in their own darkness honour me, and they rise up to me, covering their faces, who mourn and are prostrate: look ye therefore upon me.

I am the craftsman of the primal waters, but I come not up in order that you should hear of this.

I am the craftsman who lighteneth the darkness, and I have come to dissipate the darkness, and that light should be.
