^1-9 Lugal-murub the son of Zuzu, the master-scribe of Nibru (Nippur, named after planet Nibiru),

  (Bau’s guard dog, a boundary stone of Bau, land guarded by alien powers of might)

has fashioned for Nintinuga (Bau / Gula) his messenger (?) dog Tuni-lu-sag.

That is why the dog will wag his tail or bare (?) his teeth for his mistress the queen of heaven and earth,

the provider of food, the stewardess of Enlil, the sweet breast satisfying all lands,

the bringer of abundance, who can diagnose the intentions of the virulent asag demon

and who checks people’s bones; who examines the sinews of life and the sinews of death,

(Damu & mother Bau administer medical attention to giant gods & the “black-headed / earthlings thousands of years ago)

comforting those joints; who knows every sick spot where there is affliction, torment or distress —

the kindly physician, the exorcist to the sick, who looks after the hearts of humans.

 (Bau with her fierce guard dog in Isin, her patron city, ruling over kings & earthlings)

10-18 My lady, what I have fashioned I have named with the name Tuni-lu-sag,

I call by the name …….

He will …… the throat, and the asag demon will be pacified (?).

My …… will be uttered alongside your name.

Your importance …….

I have named him with the name Tuni-lu-sag.

 (Bau / Nungal, the prison warden with her guard dog)

May Nintinuga look after me during my life,

and when I die may she provide me with clear water in the nether world.

(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!

  (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!

  (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.

 (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.

 (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,

 (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.

 (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.

  (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.

      (Inanna, Goddess of Love & War)

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

 (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.

(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,

  (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!
