The one who administers correctly (all) regions (of the world) [(…)],
The tireless one, who watches over all of heaven and netherworld (Nergal’s domain)…
The lord, whose shining light covers mountain and sea,
And whose awe-inspiring sheen covers the wide[spread] world (Sun God Utu),
The noble one at whose utterance the [Igīgū] (Igigi, alien space truckers under Marduk) gods pay attention,
And at the issuing of whose command the Anunnakū (Anunnaki, alien giants) gods take fright [(…)],
presenting themselves on their knees (lit. “stand kneeling”),
The august judge, who makes decisions for god and go[ddess],
The one who dwells in Ebabbar (“Shining House”), (Utu’s ziggurat / residence in Sippar)
the one on whom his fathers rely —
(semi-divine Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar I & symbols of the gods)
At that time, a royal descendant, one of an enduring lineage, (Nebuchadnezzar I)
scion of Šuanna (Suzianna, Enlil’s junior wife) (Babylon),
Wise viceroy, reverent, prayerful, one who makes his (the Sun-god’s) (Utu) heart glad,
(damaged semi-divine king receives his instructions from giant Sun God Utu)
Because the king constantly besought the Sun-god (Utu), the light of the gods, with supplication(s) and prayer(s),
He (the Sun-god) looked happily (upon him)
and gave him the kingship of all people (and) of every region (of the world).
He granted him a just sceptre, an eternal throne, (and) a reign of long duration.
(semi-divine Nebuchadnezzar I kudurru / boundary stones with symbols & text)
He gave orders to him to plunder the land of Elam and he …
He had been brought to the land of Elam; he turned [it] back (and) inflicted a defeat upon i[t].
The great gods who had become an[gry] with the land of Akkad (and) had gone to the land of Elam
[…] … […] … over the regions (of the world) […]
[May] his reign [be made] great and may it be securely established forever in the land of Sumer and Akk[ad]!
