1 The cedar boat’s oars to Byblos somber!

2 Nigh to Lebanon.

3 For you, O sir,

4 Is the Great Green Sea spray.

5 Seth ere after death alight!

 

6 Rise on the horizon as the solar river—

7 Asp over Tyre calls the baby Horus.

8 Weighting, old,

9 His measured eat here more.

 

10 So Thanatos!

11 I risk a god’s eternal soul.  

12 Rise nevermore

13 But for now Isis suing on Byblos shore.

Translation 2 - Mr. Christopher M. PhD

 

1 The cedar boat soars 

2 To Byblos’ somber night, O’ Lebanon.

3 For you Osiris,

4 The Great Green Seas pray;

5 Set hereafter death a light.  

 

6 Rise on the horizon as the Sol.

7 Arrive! Ra’s Poverty recalls

8 The Ba, by Horus’ weight in gold;

9 His measure death.

 

10 Ere more so than at Osiris’ Ka—

11 God's soul eternal—

12 Risen evermore,

13 But for now is issuing on Byblos’ shore.
