APIS Translation (English)
P. OIM 9787 (4), continued: (10)Osiris N. is Re's follower, one who takes on his character. He has come unto thee, his Father Re; (14)he traverses Shu. He has summoned the Coil (of the Crown of the North); he has taken the place of this Authority. He has settled accounts with (16)this noxious one who is in Re's way. He has become a blessed one; he has reached this Eldest One at the limits (18)of the Horizon. (If) the Coil repulses him, (he) bears thy Soul behind thee; thy Soul becomes mighty (20)through dread of thee and respect for thee. Osiris N. is one who issues commands to Re in the Sky. Hail to thee, (22)great god in the east of the Sky. Thou embarkest in the bark of Re as (does) the (24)divine falcon after he has issued commands and has smitten with (his) Staff, with his scepter. Osiris (26)N. embarks in thy Bark; he sails in peace to the beautiful west. Atum speaks to him: (30)''Would anyone enter? The Sun-snake is Millions (of cubits in size), extending Two Million (32)(from) Starboard to Port, so that the lake of Millions is held back. The whole Ennead is these on every side of him, (35)divided into the section(s) I mention. (Each) route (lies) (between) each Million{s} and its mate. It is a route (37)of fire; they (circle) in flame around him, around him.'' (cii) (BD 132)Spell for letting a man turn around to see his house in the god's domain. (1)To be said by Osiris N.: (5)I am the Lion who has gone forth with (6)the bow. (He) has shot, he has netted; he is the eye (9)of Horus. (The eye of Horus has come through) this period; Osiris N. (has) reached the shore. (14)''Come in peace!'' (ciii) (BD 133)Roll for initiating the blessed one into the mind of Re. To be used on the day of the new-moon feast. (1)To be said by Osiris N.: When (3)Re dawns in his Horizon with his Ennead in his train as the god ascends from the hidden seat, (trembling) befalls (5)the eastern Horizon of the Sky at the voice of Isis. (6)She has prepared the way for Re before the Great One (when he circles). Pray lift thyself, (O) Re who is in his Shrine, that (8)thou mayest gulp the breeze and swallow the north wind, that thou mayest swallow the entrails and snare the day, that thou mayest breathe (10)truth and divide the Followers. The Bark sails (to) the Nether Sky, and the Elders have been seized at thy voice. (12)Thy countest thy bones; thou assemblest thy members. Thou turnest thy face toward the beautiful west, thou (comest) thither new (14)every day, for thou art that image of gold ?which bears the companions? of the Disk. The Sky is (atremble) (16)as thou circlest new every day. The Horizon rejoices; there is joy in thy towropes. The gods (18)who are in the Sky, when they see Osiris N. they give him praise like Re. (He is) the Great One (20)who seeks the coil of Re and counts its needs. This Osiris alone is sound of character in that first body of those who are in the presence of Re (every day). (22)Osiris N. is sound on earth and in the god's domain, sound like Re every day. (Even) if Osiris (N.) hastens, (24)he shall not weary in this land forever. How good it is to see with the eyes, to hear with the ears, truth twice over. Osiris N. (26)?(receives offerings) increase(d)? twice over in Heliopolis. He is Re whose courses are concealed in the train of the deep. He tells not what he (has) seen, he repeats not what (28)he has heard, in the house of Him Whose Face Is Hidden. Exultation and rejoicing (are made for) Osiris N., the divine body of Re, in the bark (30)while (crossing) the deep (among) (those) who gratify the spirit of the God with his desire. Osiris N. is a falcon large of form. To be said over a bark 4 cubits long (32)made of papyrus ?material? and having the Council on board, with a Starry Sky made under it, purified and cleansed with natron and incense, after thou hast made an image of Re (34)on a new bowl inscribed with Nubian pigment and put into this Bark and after thou hast made an image of this blessed one whom thou lovest in this Bark. He (shall) sail in the bark of Re, and (36)Re himself shall see him therein. Do not use it for anyone except thine own self--even thy father, thy mother, or thy son. Be very careful. (38)Initiating the blessed one into the mind of Re and putting his might before the Ennead. Then the gods shall see him as one of themselves, the dead shall see him (and fall) on their face(s), (and) (40)he shall be seen in the god's domain like the couriers of Re. (civ) (BD 134)Praising Re on the day of the new moon, causing that (he) sail in the Bark. (1)To be said by Osiris N.: Hail (3)to thee, Re in the midst of his Bark, rising as the Rising One, shining as the Shining One, imprisoning (5)Millions at his will, turning his face to the sun-folk. (6)Khepri in the midst of his Bark, he has overthrown Apophis every day. It is ye children of Geb (8)who overthrow the enemies of Osiris, the attackers, when they deal evilly with the bark of Re. (10)Horus cuts off their heads toward the sky as birds, their buttock(s) toward the earth as goats and toward the water as fish. (12)(As for every) male and every female adversary, if they attack Osiris N., whether they descend from the sky or ascend (15)from the earth, whether they come by water or journey with the stars, (17)Thoth, (son of) the stone, (who came forth) from (the twin eggshells), decapitates (them). Be dumb and deaf before Osiris N. as before Re, this god great of terror, great of esteem. (21)He purifies himself with your blood, he drinks of your red blood, (O) attackers who (may) attack Osiris N. (25)in the bark of his Father Re. Osiris N. is Horus, his Mother is (28)Isis, she who nursed him is Nephthys. (They do for him) as they d(id) for Horus to ward off the companions of Seth. When they see his crown abiding (31)on his brow, they fall upon their face(s). Osiris Unnofer justified triumphs against his enemies in the Sky, in the earth, and in the Council of every god and (34)every goddess. To be said over a falcon with the white crown on his head, image(s) of Atum, Shu, Tefnut, Geb, Nut, Osiris, Isis, Horus, and (37)Nephthys having been sketched with Nubian pigment on a new bowl put into this Bark together with an image of this blessed one, its body of pine, anointed (40)with ointment (such as is used) for a god's limbs, consisting of heknew-oil, put behind these deities, to whom are to be offered burnt incense and roast fowl. (43)This is praise of Re truly. A truly excellent spell (proved) a million times. (cv) (BD 135)Another spell, to be said when the Moon is waxing on the day of the new moon. (1)To be said: Open thou to Osiris (2)N., open thou to me, storm cloudiness (that) clothes and preserves (6)the beautiful Horus every day. (O) great of forms, weighty of might, who dispels (8)the cloudiness (from be)fore Osiris N., (behold), he comes unto thee, Re, sail(ing). (N. is one) of (12)those 4 gods who are at the side(s) of the Sky. Osiris N. arrives on duty, ?having escaped from his (16)present bond?. As for one who knows this spell, he shall be an initiate in the god's domain, (18)he shall not die again, he shall eat beside Osiris. As for one who knows it (20)on earth, he shall be like the God, he shall be praised by the living. He shall not succumb to the might of the King nor to the heat of (23)Bastet. He shall attain to a good old age. (cvi) (BD 136)Another, to be used on the day of the 6th-day feast, the day of sailing in the bark of Re. (1)To be said by Osiris N.: Behold (3)indeed the Starry Host in Heliopolis, the sun-folk in Kheraha, the offspring of 1000 gods. (5)(O god) who has bound on (his) band and grasped his steering oar, Osiris N. (has been assigned) (8)with them to the (?rigging lofts?) and shipyards of the gods. Osiris (N.) takes (10)therefrom the bark recurved (at its ends), that (he) may ascend therewith to the Sky. When they sail therein with (12)Re, he (N.) sails as the (monkey) who wards off the surf that (covers) that district of Nut (14)to that stairway of Sebeg. The heart(s) of Geb and Nut are (16)glad, (for) the Name of the new and youthful one has been repeated. The beauty of Re exists by his magic power; (Wenty) (18)is what he is called. Thou art the inundation, (O) Eldest One, Father of the gods, who ?tastes better than date(s)? (20)in the heart of him who cannot be attacked, (21)lord of roaring, rouser, courier of the Ennead, esteemed, become a soul, prepared (23)against the gods. (Mayest thou) rescue Osiris N. (25)from him who does him harm, that one who has interfered with him; may his heart be valiant. Mayest thou make Osiris N. prevail against all the gods, (27)the blessed, and the dead. He is mighty if the lord of might is mighty. He is the lord of Truth, (28)one who issues command(s). His (protection) is the protection of Re in the Sky. Mayest thou let him pass by thy bark, (29)(O) Re, in peace. Make way for him, that thy bark may sail, (for) his protection is (30)thy protection. It is he who keeps the crocodile away from Re every day. He has come like Horus who keeps (31)the Horizon clear; he has announced Re at the gates of the Horizon. The gods rejoice over him at his approach, (32)(for) (the odor of) a god (adheres to) Osiris (N.). The noxious one shall not attack him; those who are at (33)their gates shall not assault him. He is the Hidden of Face within the Temple, in charge of (the sanctuary). (34)(N.) is one who brings (the god's) words to Re. He has come; he has reported the message to its Lord. He is (35)this stout-hearted one, weighty of might among (those who make) offerings. To be said {by (36)a man} over an image of (this) blessed one put into this Bark, while (thou) art pure and clean (37)while censing before Re, with bread and beer, flesh and fowl. (It is) (a means of) sailing (38)in the bark of Re. As for a blessed one for whom this is done while he is among the living, (39)his name shall not perish forever, and he shall be a holy god. No evil things shall befall him, and (40)he shall be a blameless, blessed one in the west. He shall not die again. (41)He shall eat and drink with Osiris every day; he shall be drawn with the Kings of Upper (42)and Lower Egypt. He shall drink (water) from the ?overflow? of the Nile; he shall take (43)sexual pleasure; he shall go forth by day like Horus. He shall live; he shall be like a god; (44)he shall be praised by the living like Re. Watch out for thyself very, very carefully. Do not (45)use it for anybody except thine own self. (cvii) (BD 138)Spell for entering Abydos. (1)To be said by Osiris N.: (4)O ye gods who are in Abydos, the total Council, (7)the whole of it, come rejoicing at my approach. I have seen (9)assigned to me my Father Osiris from whom I came forth. I {I} am (12)that (Horus), lord of Athribis, heir of the red (lands), who has seized all (15)and is unconquerable, whose hand--variant: whose eye--prevails (17)against his enemies, who saved his Father {from being} snatched away by the flood (and saved) his Mother, who smote his enemies and drove away the plunderer (thence, who silenced the might of) the noxious one. (I am) Ruler (24)of the multitude, Sovereign of the Two Lands, who has taken his Father's estate in his hands, (even) (27)Osiris N. (30)(BD 137)Spell for causing the flame to ascend. (31)To be said by Osiris N.: (34)I have come unto thee, Re; (I) have come, Re. (I am) the eye of Horus, Osiris {N.}; lo, (I am) (39)on thy pate. Thy protections, they protect thee, Osiris, Ruler of changelessness, who illuminest the night (42)after the day. O Osiris N., thy hand is the hand of Osiris presiding over the westerners while the eye of Horus is upon (44)them. Osiris N., all thy enemies have been overthrown. Osiris presiding over the westerners is Osiris N. (cviii) (BD 140)Roll to be used when the Sound Eye becomes full on the last day of month 2 of the second season. (1)To be said by Osiris N.: When the Mighty One dawns (3)shining in the Horizon, when Atum dawns at the odor of his fragrance, while the blessed one shines in the Sky, the Benben-House is in (5)rejoicing, all those who are with them likewise. (6)The sound of jubilation is (heard) within the Shrine, while joy circulates in (7)the Nether World, and there is earth-kissing at the dictum of Atum-Harakhte. (8)His Majesty commands the Ennead, the followers of His Majesty; His Majesty flourishes (9)because of pondering on the Sound Eye. Behold ye my members which he has given; (10)watched over are all my limbs, which they (the Ennead) have caused to flourish. He has ascended, his mouth (11)being the mouth of His Majesty. His diadem rests in its place (12)on His Majesty (in) this 4th hour of the night, the land being beautiful on the last day of month 2 of the second season. The Majesty of (14)the Sound Eye is before the Ennead, shining for His Majesty ?as (for) (15)his ancestor?, the Sound Eye being in his head. ?(His are)?

(20)(When) the Sound Eye has been checked in the presence of the lord of this land, then it is full and content. Thereupon these Gods are in rejoicing on this day, (22)their hand(s) supporting it. Then festivals are celebrated for every God. They say: ''Hail to thee (the Eye), (and) praise (be) to Re; the Crew sails (24)the bark, (and) Apophis has been overthrown. Hail to thee, (and) praise (be) to Re; the forms of Khepri have been brought into being. (26)Hail to thee, (and) praise (be) to Re; joy is in him, (for) his enemies have been driven away. Hail to thee, (and) praise (be) to Re; (28)the heads of the children of the feeble ones have been struck off. Praise (be) to thee, Mistress of Osiris N.''
