A1-A19 City whose terrifying splendour extends over heaven and earth, whose towers are exceptionally grand, shrine Nibru! Your power reaches to the edges of the uttermost extent of heaven and earth. Of all the brick buildings erected in the Land, your brickwork is the most excellent. God has allowed all the foreign lands and as many cities as are built to receive excellent gifts. Your name is as excellent as your excellent gifts. Your soil is soil as good as your name. City, your name towers over heaven and earth.

A20-A37 You are the pillar in the south and the uplands, the mooring post of all people. Your destinies are supreme, with which none can compare. Your plans are as if rooted in the deep, endowed with great terrifying splendour. As if it were the lovely earth itself, no one can comprehend your eminence. Your pre-eminent destiny surpasses all praise. You are a lofty hill that no one can reach. Outstanding, with head high, you reach to the heavens.

A38-A56 Your interior towers up, and your exterior is awesome. You were built as life-giving food for the angels' servants; you were beautified for eating and drinking. You are the sheepfold which is there for their life. Nothing escapes your grasp, as if caught in the threads of an outspread net. Shrine Nibru, your activities are quite excellent, quite surpassing all description. The destinies that you allocate are a good fortune which cannot be overturned.

It is the Great House, the lapis-lazuli temple, the temple that can decide the destinies.

A72-A114 Your prince, the Lord who has engendered the powers -- what is there living in the Land like Him? They have settled ..., and taken their seats upon the good, great and praiseworthy powers. The angels gaze with attention as holy and most precious words are spoken in the correct manner. God looked at the heavens, while on earth He set bounds; and then, once His intention became clear in the great heavens and on the broad earth, the angels of heaven and earth set to work. The mattock and the earth-basket, tools for founding cities,

Segment B

B1-B18 The command for the whole of heaven and earth ...; ... of the king, with wide understanding, who knows all. They heed the holy words uttered. The angels ... going to the Lord. They direct their gaze to the Great House, the solemn shrine. The important commands of the Lord. They have placed in the hands of the great hero the power to make heaven and earth tremble at his solemn utterances. They have covered his mouth with ... like finest oil. They have placed the powers of heaven and the powers of earth in his hands. The great hero, the strong ..., the youth who subdues the foreign lands, the lord who plunders the cities. The Lord ... him into the Great House.

Segment C

C1-C18 The Lord has bestowed this on the minister, the one who stands. Nibru, nothing excels like your Lord; He is powerful, a Prince, brilliantly revealed. He is a Lord who can decide destinies. In your midst He has given powers to the minister. Nibru, your holy songs are exceptionally precious, surpassing all praise. I, Ishme-Dagan, have put them in everyone's mouth for all time.
