| Obverse Column i [0:5] i 1'1'–i 5'5' | When the god Marduk, the great lord, elevated me to be king and entrusted me with the lordship of all the people, [the god Nabû, overseer of the totality of heaven and earth, allowed my hands to grasp] a j[u]s[t] scepter for lea[ding people the right way]. As for me, [I] pray[ed] to them (Marduk and Nabû), [I constantly sought out their divinity]. At the mention of their important name(s), [I] re[vere god and goddess (alike)]. |
| Obverse Column i [5:14] i 6'6'–i 14'14' | I prayed to the god Marduk, my lord. [I besought him with] supplica[tions and told] him whatever my heart desired, (saying): “Without you, my lord, what would be created? As for the king you lo[ve, whose] na[me] you call, (and) the one who is pleasing to you, (it is) you (who) makes his name prosper (and) sends him on the ri[ght] path. I am the prince who is obedient to you, the creation of yo[ur] (own) hand! You are the one who created me and entrusted [me] with kingship of all of the people. [Ac]cording to your good will, my lord, which you allow all of the[m] (the people) to be fed regularly, make your exalted dominion be merciful towards me and make reverence for yo[ur] divinity exist in m[y] heart. Grant me what is pleasing to you and ma[ke] me have good physical heath.” |
| Obverse Column i [14:17] i 15'15'–i 17'17' | (As for) him, the foremost one, the honored one, the wisest of the gods, the prince, the god Mard[uk], he heeded my [su]p[pl]ications and accepted my prayers. He made [his exalted] dominion pleasing to me and [...] |
| Obverse Column i [17:23] i 1''1''–i 6''6'' | (No translation possible) |
| Obverse Column i [23:24] i 1'''1'''–i 1'''1''' | [whose structure a king of the past had cast with silver, I had it clad with bright gold (and) ornaments (imbued with) brillian]ce. |
| Obverse Column i [24:27] i 2'''2'''–i 4'''4''' | [I decorated the utensils of the temple(s) of Esagil with red]ish [gold (and) Maumuša with ṣāriru-gold and stone(s) to look] like the st[ars of the heavens. I had the sanctuaries of Babylon (re)built an]d provided for. |
| Obverse Column i [27:28] i 5'''5'''–i 5'''5''' | [I r]aised the superstructure [of Etemenanki with baked bricks (colored with) shining blue glaze]. |
| Obverse Column i [28:34] i 6'''6'''–i 11'''11''' | [My heart dearly wanted me] to (re)bui[ld Esagil (and)] I was [co]nstantly attentive (towards it). [I constantly sought out] the bes[t of my cedar that I had carried off from Mount Lebanon, the holy forest], to be the roof of [Eumuša, the cella of his supreme power, and (my) mind pondered about (it)]. I clad the (beams of) har[d] cedar [for the roof of Eumuša] with bright [gold]. I decorat[ed] the šīpus bel[ow the cedar roof with gold and prec]ious stone(s). [I pra]yed [all day] to the king of the gods, the lord of lords (Marduk) to (re)build Esa[gil]. |
| Obverse Column i [34:38] i 12'''12'''–i 15'''15''' | (As for) Borsippa, his beloved city, I properly adorned (it) and had Ezida, the true house, (re)built inside it. I completed its construction with silver, gold, precious stone(s), copper, musukkannu-wood, (and) cedar. I had the cedar roof(s) of the cellas of the god Nabû, clad with gold (and) had the cedar roof of Kaumuša clad with bright silver. |
| Obverse Column i [38:42] i 16'''16'''–i 19'''19''' | I decorated the wild bull(s) of the doors of the gate of the cella, door-jambs, door bolt(s), crossbeam(s), architrave(s), (and) giškanakku(s) with ṣāriru-gold and the cedar roof of its <d>alba<n>us with silver. I made the access way of the cella and the course to the temple shine resplendently (with) baked brick(s) of ešmarû-metal, the throne platform(s) and daises inside it (with) cast silver, (and) the wild bulls of the doors of (its) gates with zaḫalû-metal. |
| Obverse Column i [42:43] i 20'''20'''–i 20'''20''' | I suitably beautified the temple (Ezida) and filled (it) with splendor to be an object of wonder. |
| Obverse Column i [43:45] i 21'''21'''–i 22'''22''' | [(As for) Mai]deḫedu, the vehicle of his rulership, the processional barge of the New Year’s festival, the festival of Šuanna (Babylon), [I had its karûs (and) the zār]atu-feature(s) [inside it clad with an overlay of gold and stone(s)]. |
| Obverse Column ii [0:5] ii 1'1'–ii 5'5' | [...] ... [...] I f[illed (Ay-ibūr-šabû) in with] a higher infill. I improved Ay-ibūr-šabû, [f]rom Kas[ikilla] to [Ištar-sā]kipat-tēbîša, [with slabs of breccia] and slabs of stone quarried from the mountain(s) to be the proce[ssional street of his divinity] a[nd (then)] I adjoined (it) [t]o the part that my father had built and beau[tified the access way]. |
| Obverse Column ii [5:11] ii 6'6'–ii 11'11' | (As for) Ištar-sākipat-tēbîša, both gates of I[mgur-Enlil and Nēmetti-Enlil, their] en[trances became] too low as a res[ult of the raising (of the level) of the street(s) of Babylon]. I removed those gates and (then) secured [their foundation(s)] at the leve[l of the water table] with bitumen and baked brick. [I had (them) skillfully built] wit[h baked bricks (colored with) shining blue glaze] that have (representations of) wild bulls (and) mušḫuššu-dragon(s) fashioned upon [them (lit. ‘it’)]. |
| Obverse Column ii [11:14] ii 12'12'–ii 14'14' | I had (beams of) hard cedar stretc[hed (over them)] as their roofs. [At each of its gates, I hung doors (made) of cedar with a facing of bronze (and)] threshold(s) and nukuššû-fittings of cast c[opper]. At their its door-jamb(s), I stationed fierce wild bulls of copper and [raging] mušḫuššu-drago[ns]. |
| Obverse Column ii [14:16] ii 15'15'–ii 16'16' | [To be an ob]ject of wonder for all of the people, [I filled those] g[ates with splendor]. |
| Obverse Column ii [16:23] ii 17'17'–ii 23'23' | [(So that) no arrow (during) battle can come close] to Imgur-En[lil, the wall of Babylon, (I did something) that n]o king of the pas[t had done: 4,000 cubits distance outside Babylon], far away, (too far away) to approach (lit. “not to approach”), [I surrounded the eastern bank of Babylon with] a fort[ified] wall. I dug out its moat and [built] its embankment(s) w[ith bitumen and baked brick and] (then), on it[s] embankment, [I built] a fortified wall [like a mountain]. I con[structed its broad gates and fitted them with] doors (made) of cedar with a fac[ing of bronze]. |
| Obverse Column ii [23:29] ii 24'24'–ii 29'29' | So that no merciless enemy [can come close to] the out[skirts of Babylon, I had] the la[nd surrounded with] a huge expanse of water, like the roiling sea (Tiāmat), [so that] crossing them was like crossing the roiling sea, [a bitter body of water]. In order to prevent dike breaks in them, [I heaped them up] with earthen dikes [and] surrounded [them] on all [sides with] embankments (made of) baked brick. I skillfully reinforced (Babylon’s) protection [by establishing] the city of Babyl[on as a fortress]. |
| Obverse Column ii [29:31] ii 30'30'–ii 31'31' | (As for) Ṭābi-supūršu, the wall of Borsippa, [I built (it)] an[ew]. I dug out its moat and con[structed its embankment(s)] with bitumen and baked brick. |
| Obverse Column ii [31:35] ii 32'32'–ii 35'35' | Nebuchadnezzar (II), king of Babylon, the one whom the god Marduk, [the great lord, na[med] for (doing) good things for his city, Babylon, [am I. I made Esagil and Ezid[a shine forth like the sheen of the god Šamaš. I made] the sanctuaries of the [great] gods [shine like daylight]. |
| Obverse Column ii [35:47] ii 36'36'– | In the past, from [distant] day[s until the reign of Nabopolassar], the king of Babylon, the father who en[gendered me, the many kings who came before me] whose [name(s) the gods [had called] to be k[ing, built palaces] in cities of [their] cho[ice, (in) place(s) that they loved, (and) established their residences (in them). [During the festival of the New Year, (during) the setting out of the Enlil of the gods, the god Marduk, they entered] Šuanna (Babylon). [Since] the god Marduk [creat]ed me for kingship (and) [the god Nabû], his true [heir], entrusted his subjects (to me), I have loved their beautiful bod(ies) [as m]y (own) precious [life]. I have made no city more resplendent [than Babylo]n and Borsippa. |
| Obverse Column iii [5:7] iii 66–iii 77 | [In Babylo]n, the city of my choice that I love, [(as for) the palace, a building (that was) an object of wonder for the people, the bo]nd of the land, |
| Obverse Column iii [7:16] iii 1'1'–iii 9'9' | [...] ... [...] ... [...] May I reach [the prime of (my) lif]e (and) attain v[ery old age inside it]. May I receive inside [it the] substantial [tribute of kings of the (four) q]uarters (of the world and) all of the peo[ple. From the ho]rizon to the zenith, wherever the sun rises, [may I not have] enemies nor acquire (any) troublemaker(s). Inside it, may my [descendant]s rule over [the blac]k-headed (people) forever. |
