Weidner Chronicle (ABC 19)

The translation on this webpage was adapted from A.K. Grayson, Assyrian and Babylonian Chronicles (1975), Alan Millard’s rendering in W.W. Hallo (ed.), The Context of Scripture (2003 Leiden and Boston), and Jean-Jacques Glassner, Mesopotamian Chronicles (Atlanta, 2004).

The Weidner Chronicle (ABC 19) or Esagila Chronicle is a historiographical text from ancient Babylonia. In fact, it is not a chronicle but a piece of propaganda in the form of a letter, although it contains after line 31 a part that resembles a chronicle.

The presumed author, probably* king Damiq-ilišu of Isin (ruled 1816-1794, according to the Middle chronology), writes to king Apil-Sin of Babylon (1830-1813) about the blessings that the gods bestowed upon earlier rulers who sacrificed to the supreme god Marduk in the Esagila shrine in Babylon. Most of these kings ruled in the third millennium, when Babylon and the shrine probably did not exist.

(gods in bluemixed-breed demigods in teal…)

Translation

Say to Apil-Sin (Rim-Sin king of Larsa 1,830-1,813 B.C.), king of Babylon, thus says Damiq-ilišu (Enlil-bani 1,816-1,794 B.C.), king of of Isin:*

[…] like […] his reign. I myself have written to you a matter to be pondered,

a matter […], but you have not considered them.

You have not listened to or paid attention to the advice I gave you,

nor heeded the special advice that […]

You have been looking for something else.

To do you a good turn I have […] you, but it is not in your mind.

For your own good I have advised you to reinforce the training of your army,

but you have not put your hand to it.

His shrines where I sought advice […] has ceased.

Now I shall tell you my experience […] learn from it speedily!

            1b - Bau, Gula - Ninurta's spouse, Anu's daughter (Royal Princess Bau & her spouse / nephew Ninurta, Enlil‘s royal heir)

I offered sacrifice to my lady Ninkarrak [Gula], mistress of Egalmah; I prayed an implored her,

I told her the matter that I was constantly considering, and spoke like this:

“Entrust to me the people of Sumer and Akkad […] all the lands.

Let the people of the Upper and the Lower lands bring their weighty tribute into Egalmah.”

 (Bau / Gula)

In the night time, holy Gula, the exalted lady, stood before me,

she heard my speech, spoke to me clearly and blessed me.

“You shall set a place in the underground water, in the ocean beneath the earth,

[…] you shall raise the top to the distant sky, in […] above, a state of privilege.

Afterwards, Marduk, the king of the gods, who […] the whole of heaven and earth,

will […] the people of Sumer and Akkad to his city Babylon.” […]

            2b - Marduk, son & heir to Enki (Marduk, eldest son to Enki, born on Nibiru, patron god of Babylon, then Egypt)

He [Marduk] went quickly to his father, Ea (Enki), the craftsman, the counselor of heaven and earth.

“May Esagila, the majestic shrine, be […] to the limits of heaven and earth!

May the lord of lords, who dwells in the shrine, from east to west […]

May he shepherd human beings like sheep! May the city be famous! […]

The lord Nudimmud [Ea] carried out all he had said. Throughout heaven he honored him.

            3b - Anu of planet Nibiru  (King Anu in heaven / planet Nibiru; & son Enlil on Earth Colony)

16′ Then Anu and Enlil, the great gods, favored him and decreed
17′ “May he be the leader of the Upper and Lower lands
18′ May the great gods of heaven and earth tremble before his shrine.
19′ Raise up to the sky the top of Esagila, of Ekua, the palace of heaven and earth,[1] […]
20′ May its foundation be fixed like sky and earth forever!
21′ By your sacrifice I understood what you said and I have given to you long life.
22′ Apart from the order announced in the dream, good advice for […].
23′ For the gods of that city, the great gods of heaven and earth […]
24′ for daily, monthly, and yearly renewal of life […]
25′ no god shall oppose it […] whose mind […]
26′ at his command they are bound, the hostile gods clad in dirty clothes […]
27′ Whoever sins against the gods of that city, his star shall not stand in the sky,
28′ his kingship will end, his scepter will be taken away, his treasury will become a heap of ruins […].
29′ And the king of heaven and earth said thus:
30′ “The gods of heaven and earth […] the behavior of each former king of which I hear to […].
31′ Akka, son of […]
32′ Enmekar (2,800 + B.C.), king of Uruk, destroyed the people […].
33′ The sage Adapa (Enki fashioned “modern man”), son of […]
34′ heard in his holy sanctuary and cursed Enmekar.
35′ He/I gave to him rule over all lands and his rites.
  (E-sagila ziggurat temple residence of Marduk in Babylon)

36′ He/I beautified like the heavenly writing [2] and in Esagila the king

37′ who controls the whole of heaven and earth for his 3,020 years.
38′ In the reign of Puzur-Nirah, king of Akšak, the freshwater fishermen of Esagila

           2c-marduk-relief-flowing-waters-of-babylon  (Marduk, Enki‘s son who rivaled Enlil‘s authority, causing wars)

39′ were catching fish for the meal of the great lord Marduk;
40′ the officers of the king took away the fish.
41′ The fisherman was fishing when 7 (or 8) days had passed […]
42′ in the house of Kubaba,[3] the tavern-keeper […] they brought to Esagila.
42a’ At that time BROKEN[4] anew for Esagila […]
43′ Kubaba gave bread to the fisherman and gave water, she made him offer the fish to Esagila.
44′Marduk, the king, the prince of the Apsû,[5] favored her and said: “Let it be so!”
45′ He entrusted to Kubaba (Kug-Bau, only queen 2,500-2,330 B.C.), the tavern-keeper, sovereignty over the whole world.
46′ Ur-Zababa (Kish king 400 yrs.) ordered Sargon, his cupbearer, to change the wine libations of Esagila.
  (Sargon the Great, giant mixed-breed appointed to kingship of Akkad, another spouse to Goddess of Love Inanna)

47′ Sargon (2,334-2,279 B.C.) did not change but was careful to offer […] quickly to Esagila.

48′ Marduk, the king of the world, favored him and gave him the rule of the four corners of the world.[6].
49′ He took care of Esagila. Everyone who sat on a throne brought his tribute to Babylon.

50′ Yet he ignored the command Bêl (Enlil) had given him. He dug soil from its pit

51′ and in front of Akkad he built a city which he named Babylon.[7]
  (Enlil, giant alien Anunnaki King Anu‘s son & royal heir to heaven / planet Nibiru, & Earth Colony)

52′ Enlil changed the order he had given and from east to west people opposed him. He could not sleep.

  (Narram-Suen / Naram-Sin, giant descendant to Sargon, standing next to landed command module / alien “shem“)

53′ Naram-Sin (Akkad king 2,291-2,254B.C.) [8] destroyed the people of Babylon,

           3bb-marduk-in-battle-nabu-unknown  (Marduk & son Nabu vrs. Enlil‘s descendants)

54′ so twice Marduk summoned the forces of Gutium against him.
55′ Marduk gave his kingship to the Gutian (primitive ape-looking mountain tribe) force.
56′ The Gutians were unhappy people
57′ unaware how to revere the gods, ignorant of the right cultic practices.
58′ Utu-hegal (Uruk king 2,200 + B.C.),[9] the fisherman, caught a fish at the edge of the sea for an offering.
59′ That fish should not be offered to another god until it had been offered to Marduk,
60′ but the Gutians took the boiled fish from his hand before it was offered,

          2d-marduk-flying-discs  (Marduk & 2 winged sky-discs, travel technology of gods)

61′ so by his august command, Marduk removed the Gutian force from the rule of his land and gave it to Utu-hegal.
62′ Utu-hegal, the fisherman, carried out criminal acts against Marduk‘s city, so the river carried off his corpse.

 

(Ur kings Shulgi 2,029-1,982 B.C.; & Ur-nammu 2,300 B.C. directed by giant alien gods) 

63′ Then Marduk gave sovereignty over the whole world to Šulgi, son of Ur-nammu,[10]

64′ but he did not perform his rites to the letter, he defiled his purification rituals and his sin [….].
65′ Amar-Sin (Isin king 1,895-1,874 B.C., short chrono.), his son, changed the offerings of large oxen and sheep of the Akitu festival in Esagila.
66′ It was foretold that he would die from goring by an ox, but he died from the ‘bite’ of his shoe.

           5-inanna-presents-spouse-king-shu-sin-to-nannar  (Nannar, patron god of Ur)

67′ Šu-Sin (Ur king 1,972-1,964 B.C., short chrono.) made Esagila like the constellations for this well-being
68′ BROKEN[4] what Šulgi did, his sin, his son Ibbi-Sin (Ur king 1,972-1,940 short chrono.).[11]
BROKEN a former king who proceeded […] your desire and over Marduk‘s father Ea (Enki), the heaven and earth […] he did not create. Anu and Ištar (Inanna), […] his majestic son, the great lord Marduk, king of the gods, whom the gods […], Ea‘s grandson Nabû, who […] he will name the king.

             2bb - god Nabu & US Army   (Nabu statue, now destroyed by Radical Islam’s hatred for ancient history)

To his descendant Sumu-la-El,[12] the king, whose name Anu pronounced, for your well-being and […] all of it a peaceful dwelling place, a lasting rule in your hand.
[13] Tablet of Marduk-etir, son of Etir-[…]-haya, devotee of Nabû. To be returned in case of loss.

You are the caretaker of the living and the dead; you are the great healer of all the crippled ones.

This is what Inanaka, the daughter of Enlil-a-mah, your maidservant says:

but I do not yet know the divine oracle concerning {my being in agonies}

{(1 ms. has instead:) these agonies}. {(1 ms. adds:) …….}

My lady, a house has been built for me, but I have to sit there with longing eyes.

My valued acquaintances {keep}{(1 ms. has instead:) stay} away from me.

I have no one who would take care of me.

Since this is full, too full for me, I am distressed.

(gods in blue)

1-11 House, furious storm of heaven and earth, battering its own, enemies;

prison, jail of the gods, august neck-stock of heaven and earth!

Its interior is evening light, dusk spreading wide; its awesomeness is frightening.

Raging sea which mounts high, no one knows where its rising waves flow.

House, a pitfall waiting for the evil one; it makes the wicked tremble!

House, a net whose fine meshes are skillfully woven, which gathers up people as its booty!

House, which keeps an eye on the just and on evildoers; no one wicked can escape from its grasp.

House, river of the ordeal which leaves the just ones alive, and chooses the evil ones!

3a-utu-in-the-mountains-with-weapons-of-brilliance  (Utu in the mountains, the Sun God)

House, with a great name, nether world, mountain where Utu rises; no one can learn its interior!

Big house, prison, house of capital offenses, which imposes punishment!

3b - Anu of planet Nibiru  (King Anu, father in Heaven / planet Nibiru, to giant ruler-gods on Earth Colony)

House, which chooses the righteous and the wicked; An (Anu) has made its name great!

12-26 House whose foundations are laden with great awesomeness!

Its gate is the yellow evening light, exuding radiance.

Its stairs are a great open-mouthed dragon, lying in wait for men.

Its door jamb is a great dagger whose two edges …… the evil man.

Its architrave is a scorpion which quickly dashes from the dust; it overpowers everything.

Its projecting pilasters are lions; no one dares to rush into their grasp.

Its vault is the rainbow, imbued with terrible awe.

Its hinges are an eagle whose claws grasp everything.

Its door is a great mountain which does not open for the wicked,

but does open for the righteous man, who was not brought in through its power.

Its bars are fierce lions locked in stalwart embrace.

Its latch is a python, sticking out its tongue and hissing.

Its bolt is a horned viper, slithering in a wild place.

House, surveying heaven and earth, a net (communication & surveillance system) spread out!

No evildoer can escape its grasp, as it drags the enemy around.

2b - Gula & her dog (Nungal / Bau, prison warden of the earthlings / the “black-headed”)

27-31 Nungal, its lady, the powerful goddess whose aura covers heaven and earth,

resides on its great and lofty dais.

Having taken a seat in the precinct of the house, she controls the Land from there.

 (Bau on her throne in her patron city of Isin)

She listens to the king in the assembly and clamps down on his enemies; her vigilance never ends.

32-39 Great house! For the enemy it is a trap laying in wait, but giving good advice to the Land;

fearsome waves, onrush of a flood that overflows the river banks

(1 ms. has instead: which never stops raging, huge and overflowing (?).

When an individual is brought in, he cannot resist its aura.

The gods of heaven and earth bow down before its place where judgments are made.

Ninegala (Inanna) takes her seat high on its lapis-lazuli (her favorite gem-stone) dais.

She keeps an eye on the judgments and decisions, distinguishing true and false.

5c - Ningirsu of Lagash grasps enemy in a net (Ninurta with alien high-tech battle-net, captures the “black-headed)

Her battle-net of fine mesh is indeed cast over the land for her;

the evildoer who does not follow her path will not escape her arm.

40-47 When a man of whom his god disapproves (?) arrives at the gate of the great house,

which is a furious storm, a flood which covers everybody,

1d - Bau, spouse to Ninurta (Anunnaki giant alien goddess Bau, warden of Earth’s prisons)

he is delivered into the august hands of Nungal, the warden of the prison;

this man is held by a painful grip like a wild bull with spread (?) forelegs.

He is led to a house of sorrow, his face is covered with a cloth, and he goes around naked.

He …… the road with his foot, he …… in a wide street.

His acquaintances do not address him, they keep away from him.

48-54 Even a powerful man cannot open up its door; incantations are ineffective (?).

It opens to a city in ruins, whose layout is destroyed.

Its inmates, like small birds escaped from the claws of an owl, look to its opening as to the rising of the sun.

Brother counts for brother the days of misfortune, but their calculations get utterly confused.

A man does not recognize his fellow men; they have become strangers.

A man does not return the password of his fellow men, their looks are so changed.

55-61 The interior of the temple gives rise to weeping, laments and cries.

Its brick walls crush evil men and give rebirth to just men.

Its angry heart causes one to pass the days in weeping and lamentation.

When the time arrives, the prison is made up as for a public festival;

the gods are present at the place of interrogation, at the river ordeal,

to separate the just from the evildoers; a just man is given rebirth.

Nungal clamps down on her enemy, so he will not escape her clutches.

2a - Bau, her dog, & spouse Ninurta (Bau with guard dog & spouse Ninurta with alien technologies)

62-74 Then the lady is exultant; the powerful goddess, holy Nungal, praises herself:

An has determined a fate for me, the lady; I am the daughter of An (Anu).

Enlil too has provided me with an eminent fate,

for I am his daughter-in-law (Bau/Gula, spouse to Enlil‘s son Ninurta, also 1/2 sister to Enlil).

The gods have given the divine powers of heaven and earth into my hands.

2-ereshkigal  (Ereshkigal, Queen Goddess of the Under World, spouse to Nergal)

My own mother, Ereckigala (Ereshkigal), has allotted to me her divine powers.

I have set up my august dais in the nether world, the mountain where Utu rises.

I am the goddess of the great house, the holy royal residence.

 1b - Inanna & torch or a weapon   3aa - mixed-breed king, Inanna & unknown god  (Inanna, Goddess of Love & War)

I speak with grandeur to Inanna, I am her heart’s joy.

2d-ninhursag-attendee-ninhursags-symbol (Ninhursag & helper holding the Umbilical Chord Cutter, her symbol)

I assist Nintud (Ninhursag) at the place of child-delivery (?);

I know how to cut the umbilical cord and know the favorable words when determining fates.

I am the lady, the true stewardess of Enlil; he has heaped up possessions for me.

The storehouse which never becomes empty is mine; …….

75-82 “Mercy and compassion are mine. I frighten no one.

I keep an eye upon the black-headed people: they are under my surveillance.

I hold the tablet of life in my hand and I register the just ones on it.

The evildoers cannot escape my arm; I learn their deeds.

All countries look to me as to their divine mother.

I temper severe punishments; I am a compassionate mother.

I cool down even the angriest heart, sprinkling it with cool water.

I calm down the wounded heart; I snatch men from the jaws of destruction.

83-94 “My house is built on compassion; I am a life-giving (?) lady.

Its shadow is like that of a cypress tree growing in a pure place.

3 - Bau & her spouse Ninurta (Bau & spouse Ninurta)

Birtum the very strong, my spouse, resides there with me.

Taking a seat on its great and lofty dais, he gives mighty orders.

The guardians of my house and the fair-looking protective goddesses …….

My chief superintendent, Ig-alim (Bau‘s son), is the neck-stock of my hands.

He has been promoted to take care of my house; …….

My messenger does not forget anything: he is the pride of the palace.

(Enlil, 1/2 brother to Bau, Ninhursag, Enki, etc., Earth Colony Commander)

In the city named after (?) Enlil, I recognize true and false.

Ninharana (unidentified) brings the news and puts it before me (alien technologies).

My chief barber (butler?) sets up the bed for me in the house imbued with awesomeness.

Nezila (unidentified) arranges joyous (1 ms. adds: and valued (?)) occasions (?).

“When someone has been brought into the palace of the king

and this man is accused of a capital offense, my chief prosecutor,

Nindimgul, (unidentified) stretches out his arm in accusation (?).

He sentences that person to death, but he will not be killed;

he snatches the man from the jaws of destruction and brings him into my house of life

and keeps him under guard.

No one wears clean clothes in my dusty (?) house.

My house falls upon the person like a drunken man.

He will be listening for snakes and scorpions in the darkness of the house.

My house gives birth to a just person, but exterminates a false one.

Since there are pity and tears within its brick walls, and it is built with compassion,

it soothes the heart of that person, and refreshes his spirits.

106-116 “When it has appeased the heart of his god for him;

when it has polished him clean like silver of good quality,

when it has made him shine forth through the dust;

when it has cleansed him of dirt, like silver of best quality ……,

he will be entrusted again into the propitious hands of his god.

Then may the god of this man praise me appropriately forever!

May this man praise me highly; may he proclaim my greatness!

The uttering of my praise throughout the Land will be breathtaking!

May he provide …… butter from the pure cattle-pen, and bring the best of it for me!

May he provide fattened sheep from the pure sheepfold, and bring the best of them for me!

Then I will never cease to be the friendly guardian of this man.

In the palace, I will be his protector; I shall keep watch over him there.”

117-121 Because the lady has revealed her greatness; because she has provided the prison,

1b - Bau, Gula - Ninurta's spouse, Anu's daughter  (Bau & nephew-spouse Ninurta, Enlil‘s son & royal heir)

the jail, her beloved dwelling, with awesome radiance, praise to be Nungal, the powerful goddess,

the neck-stock of the Anuna (Anunnaki) gods, whose …… no one knows,

foremost one whose divine powers (alien technologies) are untouchable!
