O Osiris, Bull of the Great Ones, Controller of the living, behold (name) has come to you,

So that he may see your beauty, That he may worship you, That he may serve you,

Get rid of your injury, And set your movements aright, In his shape as a god-like Spirit.

 

He has come from the land of the living, He has got rid of the dust that was on him,

He has filled his body with magic, He has quenched his thirst with it, Those who watch for him tremble at it like a bird,

He has mastered the land through what he knew, Like those who went down to him for themselves,

He has brought all power in his hands, From the Island of Fire.

 

He knows those two sentences which Ha spoke to him on whom is the ram's head [wb].

He has brought it in his hand, In order to join the eyes of Osiris onto it and in order to make your neck firm with it.

He has brought to you your head-covering of your dignity of Bull of the West.

 

He has brought to you the living waters, Which are in the hand of Ihy Osiris,

He has caused Hekes and Hephep to know what he has foretold.

Receive him, let him enter into me - So says Osiris to the beautiful West.

 

Nurse him, proclaim him, For you have placed him within your arms

Since he came equipped from the Island of Fire.

Usher him in to me, Uncover for him my injured privy parts,

Let him see my wounds - So says Osiris.

In what manner shall he come, This renewed spirit? So says the beautiful West.

 

He shall enter in his dignity as a god-like spirit, He shall be ennobled in the House of Sothis,

He shall be suckled in the Mansion of the Great Bulls,

He shall receive the divine state in the Mansion of the White Bull which is in the necropolis

When they hear the words of the Gods.

 

It is the two mighty of magic [Isis and Nephthys] who cleanse him,

And he shall enter when you have got rid of his complaint by means of his sacrificial cattle which are upon the earth.

 

Let him not shout, But let him remember what I detest, For my destination is the shouter;

He shall not enter into my Mansion - So says Osiris.

 

Here comes the god who guards the earth; Travel happily in peace that I may enfold you -

So says the beautiful West to [name] who is in the West.
