And the utterance of Ea was heard by the gods

Let bear the womb mother offspring

And let them carry the gods' burdens

On the moon's first, seventh, and fifteenth

By washing I shall purify (Ea proclaimed)

Then slaughter will we Kingu,

the rebel, who intelligence has.

And the gods should be submerged and all be cleansed

Let Nintu mix the clay with his flesh and blood

And a mould of god and man will the clay bestow.

And let the Etemmu ghost posses the form

Let the womb mother assert it as the breath of life

Let the ghost be animate lest the slain god we forget

And the gods in accordance saw that it was done

The drumbeat pounding from his heart let us hear (forever) "an dãr”.
