| surface a 314 | from where he stands destroying for him the foreign lands, |
| surface a 315 | from where he sits destroying for him the cities. |
| surface a 316 | He of rightful speech, whose utterances are firmly established, |
| surface a 317 | Nudimmud, great lord of Eridu; |
| surface a 318 | together with Šulgi, the right shepherd of Sumer, he walked along the path. |
| surface a 319 | When he arrived at the E-babbar, the house of Utu, |
| surface a 320 | the king who loves justice, ..., clad in linen, |
| surface a 331 | The young ones of the foreign lands he let ride off on ships, |
| surface a 332 | the big ones he “sent back from old age”. |
| surface a 333 | To those who did not return and spread out, the days were not long! |
| surface a 334 | The hero avenged his city. |
| surface a 335 | Whatever was destroyed in Sumer, in the foreign lands he destroyed. |
| surface a 336 | The gods of their cities he caused to “get into shoes”; |
| surface a 337 | their pretty-face udug and lamma protective deities he let step out. |
| surface a 338 | In their fertile fields of shining barley he let long grass grow; |
| surface a 339 | their thick and tall trees with the axe he brought to destruction; |
| surface a 340 | their trees of wealth he “crossed over” at the crown. |
| surface a 341 | their small trees he uprooted. |
| surface a 342 | In their well-orchards, where date syrup and fig trees grew, he made weeds grow; |
| surface a 343 | ... plants and ... herbs continually break through the earth. |
| surface a 344 | After the king had destroyed the cities and laid flat the city walls, |
| surface a 345 | with floodwater had caused the torched foreign lands to shake, |
| surface a 346 | the seed of the Guti like seed-grain had scattered, |
| surface a 347 | his heart had ..., |
| surface a 348 | then the silver and lapis lazuli of the foreign lands into leather pouches he put. |
| surface a 349 | All their treasures he gathered together |
| surface a 350 | and all the goods of the foreign lands counted to one load. |
| surface a 351 | On their delivered cattle and delivered sheep. |
| surface a 352 | the name of Enlil invoking, |
| surface a 353 | the name of Ninlil invoking. |
| surface a 354 | The hero, after achieving an august revenge in the foreign lands, |
| surface a 355 | had his blue barge of royalty caulked. |
| surface a 356 | adorned with expansive silver horns, its ram of gold gleaming in the middle of heaven. |
| surface a 357 | Its bitumen, ... bitumen of Enki |
| surface a 358 | was caressed from the abzu; |
| surface a 359 | its cabin was a palace, carrying a terrible splendor on August River, |
| surface a 360 | like the sky with stars it was decorated. |
| surface a 361 | Its silver ..., |
| surface a 363 | The king ..., |
| surface a 364 | Šulgi, the right shepherd of Sumer, ... his feet upon ...; |
| surface a 365 | his seat on a throne of ... he took. |
| surface a 366 | The sim and ala (drums) resounded for him, |
| surface a 367 | and the balag-house drums played music for him. |
| surface a 368 | “My king, ..., you have destroyed the foreign lands and plundered their cities ...; |
| surface a 369 | like a wild bull ... the hills ...” |
| surface a 370 | the cantors for him were signing in a song. |
| surface a 371 | His tireless boatmen |
| surface a 372 | —hoisting and hanging (sail)— |
| surface a 373 | these—sons of Enegir and sons of Ur— |
| surface a 374 | with the lord their ... oars hung out. |
| surface a 375 | At the temples of Nippur, the temples Dur-an-ki, |
| surface a 376 | at the Kar-geština of Enlil |
| surface a 377 | did he not moor the boat? |
| surface a 378 | With the silver and lapis lazuli of the foreign lands put into leather pouches, |
| surface a 379 | all their treasures gathered together, |
| surface a 380 | with all the goods of the foreign lands counted to one load, |
| surface a 381 | he enters before Enlil. |
| surface a 382 | ..., the king ... |
| surface a 383 | a destiny for Šulgi he decrees: |
| surface a 384 | “King, a destiny for you I shall decree, a good destiny for you I shall decree! |
| surface a 385 | Šulgi, a destiny for you I shall decree, a good destiny for you I shall decree! |
| surface a 386 | heroism as your destiny I shall decree! |
| surface a 387 | Long-lasting lordship and kingship as your destiny I shall decree! |
| surface a 388 | In terrifying splendor may you lean your neck! |
| surface a 389 | Before your fierce face may no one stand! |
| surface a 390 | May your crown of royalty shine radiantly! |
| surface a 391 | May your sceptre be a thing of princes, |
| surface a 392 | and may its shining branches provide you with shade! |
| surface a 393 | May there be joy in your stomach, and may you never grow weary! |
| surface a 394 | May you be a breath-of-life king in your assembly! |
| surface a 395 | May your life flourish like herbs, may it flourish like grain! |
| surface a 396 | May it flourish like a right mes tree in a broad plot!” |
