(gods in blue)

Enlil whose command is far-reaching, lofty his word (and) holy,

Whose pronouncement is unchangeable, who decrees destinies unto the distant future,

Whose lifted eye scans the land,

Whose lifted beam searches the heart of all the land–

 (Enlil, Earth Colony Commander, son & heir to alien Anunnaki King Anu of planet Nibiru)

When Father Enlil seats himself broadly on the holy dais, on the lofty dais,

When Numamnir (Enlil) carries out to supreme perfection lordship and kingship,

The earth-gods bow down willingly before him,

The Anunna (Anunnaki) humble themselves before him,

Stand by faithfully in accordance with (their) instructions.

The great (and) mighty lord, supreme in heaven (and) earth,

          the all-knowing one who understands the judgment,

          Has set up (his) seat in Duranki–the wise one,

Made preeminent in princeship the kiur, the “great place,”

 (E-kur, Enlil‘s mud-brick-built mountain / residence in Nippur)

               In Nippur the lofty bellwether of the universe he erected (his) dwelling.

         The city–its “face” is awesome fear (and) dread,

         Its outside no mighty god can approach,

Its inside is (full of) cries of mutilation, cries of bloodshed,

It is a trap that serves as a pit and net against the rebellious land,

It grants not long days to the braggart,

Allows no evil word to be uttered against (the divine) judgment.

Hypocrisy, distortion,

Abuse, malice, unseemliness,

Insolence, enmity, oppression,

Envy, (brute) force, libelous speech,

Arrogance, violation of agreement, breach of contract, abuse of a court verdict,

(All these) evils the city does not tolerate.

 (Enlil‘s alien communication towers throughout Sumerian cities)

Nippur, whose “arm” is a vast net,

Whose “heart” is the fast-stepping hurin-bird,

Whose “hand” the wicked and evil cannot escape;

The city endowed with truth,

Where righteousness (and) justice are perpetuated,

Where clean garments are worn (even) at the quay,

Where the older brother honors the younger brother, acts humanely (towards him),

Where the word of the elders is heeded, where it is repeated in fear,

Where the son humbly fears his mother, where eldership endures–,

 (Nippur ruins way below Enlil‘s ziggurat, top added in 1900)

In the city, the holy seat of Enlil,…

Enlil, when you marked off holy settlements on earth,

You built Nippur as your very own city,

The kiur, the mountain, your pure place, whose water is sweet,

You founded in the Duranki (“Bond Heaven to Earth”), in the center of the four corners (of the universe),

Its ground, the life of the land, the life of all the lands,

Its brickwork of red metal, its foundations of lapis-lazuli,

You have reared it up in Sumer like a wild ox,

All lands bow the head to it,

  (early “modern man” celebrating with the giant alien gods in their image & likeness)

During its great festivals, the people spend (all) their time in bountifulness….

Enlil, the shepherd upon whom you gaze (favorably),

The legitimate one, whom you have raised over the land–

The foreign land at his hand, the foreign land at his foot,

(As well as) the most distant of foreign lands you make subservient to him,

Like refreshing water, overflowing goods from all over,

Their offerings and heavy tribute,

They brought into the storehouse,

Into the main courtyard they conducted (their) gifts,

Into the Ekur, the “lapis-lazuli” house they brought them in homage.
