1-6 Lord of the fearsome powers, clad in terror, riding on the great powers, made complete by the strength of the holy ankar weapon, drenched in blood, rushing around in great battles, with shield resting on the ground, covered in storm and flood, great Lord, knowing well how to plan conflicts, You destroy mighty lands with arrow and strength and overpower lands.

7-9 In heaven and on earth You roar like a lion and devastate the people. Like a huge wild bull You triumph over lands which are hostile. Like a fearsome lion You pacify the insubordinate and unsubmissive with Your gall.

10-22 On Your acquiring the stature of heaven, on Your becoming as magnificent as the earth, on Your coming forth like the sun, which is Your sign, and stretching Your arms wide, on Your wearing daylight and brilliance on earth, on Your bringing forth beaming rays in the mountain ranges, on Your bathing the girin plants of the mountains in light, on Your giving birth to the bright mountain, the mountain, the holy place, on Your being strong with the mace like a joyful lord -- the black-headed people ring out in song and all the lands sing their song sweetly.

23-24 I shall praise the Lord of battle, the Mighty.

25-32 (The Mighty One declared:) "When My decree was passing through heaven and earth, when it was passing through Elam and Subir, when it was passing through the Lulubi mountains, when it turned towards the centre of the mountains, as it approached the mountain it showed Me no respect, as it approached the mountain range of Ebih it showed Me no respect.

33-36 "Since they showed Me no respect, since they did not put their noses to the ground for Me, since they did not rub their lips in the dust for Me, I shall personally fill the soaring mountain range with My terror.

37-40 "Against its magnificent sides I shall place magnificent battering-rams, against its small sides I shall place small battering-rams. I shall storm it. In the mountain range I shall start battles and prepare conflicts.

41-44 "I shall prepare arrows in the quiver. I shall prepare slingstones with the rope. I shall begin the polishing of My lance. I shall prepare the throwstick and the shield.

45-48 "I shall set fire to its thick forests. I shall take an axe to its evil-doing. I shall make the purifying fire bare its holy teeth at its watercourses. I shall spread this terror through the inaccessible mountain range Aratta.

49-52 "Like a city which God has cursed, may it never be restored. Like a city at which the Lord has frowned, may it never again lift its neck up. May the mountain tremble at My approach. May Ebih give Me honour and praise Me."

131-137 The Mighty One, in His wrath and anger, opened the arsenal and pushed on the lapis lazuli gate. He brought out magnificent battle and called up a great storm. He reached for the quiver. He raised a towering flood with evil silt. He stirred up an evil raging wind with potsherds.

138-143 He confronted the mountain range. He advanced step by step. He sharpened both edges of His dagger. He grabbed Ebih's neck as if ripping up esparto grass. He pressed the dagger's teeth into its interior. He roared like thunder.

144-151 The rocks forming the body of Ebih clattered down its flanks. From its sides and crevices great serpents spat venom. He damned its forests and cursed its trees. He killed its oak trees with drought. He poured fire on its flanks and made its smoke dense. He established authority over the mountain. The Mighty One did as He wished.

152-159 He went to the mountain range of Ebih and addressed it: "Mountain range, because of your elevation, because of your height, because of your attractiveness, because of your beauty, because of your wearing a holy garment, because of your reaching up to heaven, because you did not put your nose to the ground, because you did not rub your lips in the dust, I have struck you down and brought you low.

160-165 "As with an elephant I have seized your tusks. As with a great wild bull I have brought you to the ground by your thick horns. As with a bull I have forced your great strength to the ground and pursued you savagely. I have made tears the norm in your eyes. I have placed laments in your heart. Birds of sorrow are building nests on these flanks."

166-170 For a second time, rejoicing in His fearsome terror, He spoke out righteously: "The Lord has poured My great terror over the centre of the mountains. On My right side a weapon is placed. My anger, a harrow with great teeth, has torn the mountain apart.

176-181 "In My victory I rushed towards the mountain. In My victory I rushed towards Ebih, the mountain range. I went forward like a surging flood, and like rising water I overflowed the dam. I imposed My victory on the mountain. I imposed My victory on Ebih."

182-184 For destroying Ebih, the Mighty One be praised. Praise be to God.
