Translate from Akkadian:

When God’s human being

Shamash’s slave, wise men, saw

Nergal in himself

This Earth-stomped land became God’s.

At a decent throne

Of life and death

Nergal comes glowing,

Not stopping at Senior Gods

As he was fear’s bride.

In the land with no return

In it’s glory

The look upon judgement

Gave birth to Nergal

The king of underground.

Nergal was born,

Adapa suffered,

of what was in himself
