Chapter 8 | |
| Prayer of Nebre/Nebro | ||
| (1353 BCE-1336 BCE) | ||
1. |
Praisegiving to Amen ! | |
2. |
I make hymns in his name. | |
3. |
I give to him praise: to the height of heaven, | |
4. |
and the breadth of the earth. | |
5. |
I tell his might to him who sails down-stream, |
|
6. |
and to him who sails up-stream. |
|
7. |
Beware of him ! | |
8. |
Repeat it to son and daughter, to great and small. |
|
9. |
Herald him to the generations not yet born. |
|
10. |
Herald him to the fishes in the deep, |
|
11. |
and to the birds in the sky. |
|
12. |
Repeat it to him who knows it not, |
|
13. |
and to him who knows. |
|
14. |
Beware of him ! |
|
15. |
You are Amen, the Lord of the silent. |
|
16. |
Who comes at the cry of the poor. |
|
17. |
When I call to you in my distress, |
|
18. |
You come to rescue me. |
|
19. |
Give breath to him who is wretched. |
|
20. |
Rescue me from bondage. |
|
21. |
You are Amen, Lord of Thebes, |
|
22. |
Who rescues him who is in Hell ; |
|
23. |
For you are he who is merciful, |
|
24. |
When one appeals to you. |
|
25. |
You are he who comes from afar. | |
