Translation

Obv. 

1 [I will entreat] the beloved queen of the people,

2 [I will stand] before her at [mi]dnight,

3 [To Ishta]r, who illuminates humanity,

I will stand in the night watch (and) entreat (her) intently.

At the gate with a gift of greeting will I rejoice:

6 (Saying) "(Because) you are merciful, daug[ter] of Sin, you will hear my utterance."

My whispered prayer indeed "smears" (i.e., covers) her threshold:

8 "Ishtar (is) the (temple) bolt who hears my prayer."

The wise vizier, Ninshubur,

10 He puts in a good word for the people; he knows (how) to grant favor.

11 . . . of Nanaya knows (how) to return the confiscated virility,

12 . . . puts in a good for word for me

13 May the god of my father stand before you,

14 May he rep[o]rt to yo[u], my goddess. Learn my situation (lit. way)!

15 Before you, O Ishtar, may the god of my father, (as) vizier, stand

16 and commend (lit. speak) releasing my guilt.

17 Ah! I constantly wailed before you, O . . . mountain!

18 From the iris of my eye a tear drips (lit. rains). You are cut off (from me)!

19 I entreat Ishtar intently, saying:

20 Attend to me with (your) decision! Now you (are) my lady!

21 (If) I have not resisted, O Ishtar, the glowing (i.e., anger) of your face

22 (Then) who [con]ducts me to the anger of your heart?

23 (If) I have resisted, O Ishtar, the glowing (i.e., anger) of your face,

24 (Then) you have snapped off my protection (lit. shade); you have driven away my protective spirits.

25 I am deprived of sleep, of slumber by night,

26 By day, (when) I was awake, my arm was dislocated (lit. removed) at (my) side.

27 (Although) I walked in front, a straggler (lit. a person behind) overtook me,

28 My (formerly) fast legs curtailed running for me.

29 You blew me about like a rush in a storm,

30 In the light of day, my protection (was) the darkness, brimming with fear.

31 Behind me came your clouds,

32 I was detained in a cloudburst; I could not get to shelter.

33 . . like a sheep in a reed thicket,

34 . . . with a star, until(?) you . . . me.

35 [She/He did not] come, and she/he did not draw near to me,

36 [A whi]p(?) she was wielding fur[ious]ly(?); she was frightful.

37 You caused the wind to carry off [the foundation of] my [fam]ily,

38 [. . .] you dispersed my family members in your wrath.

39 [. . .] . . . brilliance,

40 [. . .] . . . she/he shut me out; she/he made the days dark.

41 [. . .] my house; my handiwork she/he treads in the heat of day,

42 [. . .] Ishtar, . . . cannot . . . me.

43 [. . .] Ishtar, [do you(?)] not withhold my plundered protection?

44 [. . .] . . . not . . .

45 [. . .] I did not sit . . .

46 [. . .] . me weeping dai[ly].

Rev.

47 [. . .] no one . . [.] . you bury,

48 [. . .] . . . [. . .] . . .

49 [I used] to eat oil, (but now) I wander about eve[ryday] in hunger,

50 [I used] to kiss the lips of a baby with . . .

51 The way of the [go]ds is very [dista]nt to the people,

52 [. . .] . . . tear(s); she/he destroyed like [. . .]

53 [With] lamentation . . . my [. .]

54 [Sor]row (lit. misery of the heart), lamentation, (and) ill[ness]

55 Have beset me, and they have caused . . . to fall

56 From above, a light illuminated a dream; my face [was radiant (lit. became bright)].

57 Down belo[w], my mood is dark, filled with [. .] . . .

58 And the one whom I treat with fav[or] repays me wit[h ev]il.

59 I did not close the g[a]te like a toggle p[in],

60 I did not hasten toward peace; your name was [n]ot forgotten.

61 I honored the word that you [sp]oke to me, according to your command (lit. mouth),

62 And I carried out (all) that you commanded, O Ishtar!

63 Waves of the deep constantly overwhelm (lit. cover) me,

64 O Ishtar, the winds are blowing! Rescue me!

65 You have spread (lit. given) contempt for me to everyone,

66 Like a pristine (lit. pure) des[e]rt, I have no one to look after (me).

67 My acquaintance look[ed at me] (and) withdrew,

68 He took sh[elt]er; he would not look upon my face.

69 He swore and(?) said to me: "He moved (lit. carried) the boundary (marker)."

70 Where (are you), O Ishtar, (you) who assured me (saying),

71 "I will he[a]l you so that you will praise me to the land."

72 The illness was heavier [on me] than before,

73 Like a pregnant wo[man] whose days were quickly drawing near.

74 And . . . are ample . . [.] . [. .] . An incantation was binding me like a bull. My violent signs were negative (lit. strange, hostile, different),

75 [My] dreams have fated a club (i.e., a beating?) for me.

76 O my mother, look [at my] apprehension/sorrow, I have landed [a]t an unfamiliar (lit. that I do not know) quay.

77 O Ishtar, life is (too) short for me; it is not long (enough)!

78 I have become exhausted, O Ishtar, how long? Release me from my loss.

79 My hands (lit. palms) are stretched out (in prayer); my arms are shaking!

80 My life rises in the wind like a bird!

81 O Ishtar, your sweet light focuses (lit. narrows) on me as (rays of) light from windows,

82 May it focus on me, O Ishtar. My long neck has become short,

83 The mourners wail a lament of my manliness.

84 I did not go with the husbands to the father-in-law's house,

85 I did not enter, and I did not consummate my marriage(?) (lit. do the wo[rk] of the night).

86 Furiously, you . . . ; like Adad over me, you dispersed my (personal) deities,

87 For my acquaintances, had it been in accordance with your anger, you would not have pursued (them so) hastily.

88 [O . .] . . , who in the world has blocked/opposed you?

89 Preserving life, O Ishtar, (is) yours(?)! O Ishtar, . . .

90 [. . .] . . . may (it) be hostile to the stranger(?).

91 [. . .] this . . . tears

92 [. .] (that your) [pr]aises in the city I may sing!
