The house which guides the land.
The king builds a throne for the queen of the palace.
He sits beside her on the throne.
In order to care for the life of all the lands,
The exact first day of the month is closely examines,
And on the day of the disappearance of the Moon,
On the day of the sleeping of the Moon,
The Me are perfectly carried out so that the New Year's Day, the day of rites,
May be properly determined,
And a sleeping place be set up for Inanna.
The people cleanse the rushed with sweet-smelling cedar oil,
They arrange the rushed for the bed.
They spread a bridal sheet over the bed.
A bridal sheet to rejoice the heart,
A bridal sheet for Inanna and Dumuzi.
The queen bathes her holy loins,
Inanna bathes for the holy loins for Dumuzi,
She washes herself with soap.
She sprinkles sweet-smelling cedar oil on the ground.
The king goes with lifted head to the holy lions,
Dumuzi goes with lifted head to the holy lions of Inanna.
He lies down beside her on the bed.
Tenderly he caresses her, murmuring words of love:
" O my holy jewel ! O my wondrous Inanna !
After the enters her holy vulva, casing Inanna to rejoice,
Inanna holds him to her and murmurs:
" O Dumuzi, you are truly my love."
The king bids the people enter the great hall.
The people bring food offering and bowls.
They burn juniper resin, perform laving rites,
And pile up sweet, smelling incense.
The king embraces Inanna.
Inanna, seated on the royal throne, shines like daylight.
The king, like the Sun, shines radiantly by her side.
He arrange abundance, lushness, and plenty before her.
He assembles the people of Sumer.
The musicians play for the queen.
They play the loud instrument which drowns out the southern storm,
They play the sweet algar-instrument, the ornament of the palace,
They play the stringed instrument which brings joy to all people,
The play songs for Inanna to rejoice the heart.
The people's spend the day in plenty.
The king stands before the assembly in great joy.
He hail Inanna with the praises of the gods and the assembly:
" Holy Priestess ! Created with the heavens and earth,
Inanna, First Daughter of the Moon, Lady of the Evening !
I sing your praises."
My Lady looks in sweet wonder from heaven.
The people of Sumer parade before the holy Inanna.
The Lady who Ascends into the Heavens,
Inanna is radiant.
Mighty, majestic,radiant,and ever youthful.
O Inanna , Praise !
