Enɧeduanna
2
En = hoëpriester; ɧedu = sieraad; anna = van die hemel
Deur Pieter Uys
Opgedra aan Sheree Rayfield (6 Augustus 2013)
Die Akkadiese/Sumeriese digteres Enheduanna (2285-2250 voor die huidige era) is die heel
eerste skrywer in die geskiedenis wat by name bekend is. Sy was the dogter van koning
Sargon van Akkad (Sargon the Grote). Haar moeder se naam was Tashlultum.
Enheduanna is welbekend uit argeologiese en skriftelike bronne. Sy was hoëpriesteres van
die maangod Nanna in the Sumeriese stad Ur. Twee seëls waarop haar naam verskyn, is in
die koninklike begraafplaas van Ur gevind. ’n Albasterdisk waarop haar naam en afbeelding
verskyn, is ook in Ur gevind, in die Jipar-seksie wat die woonplek van die En-priesteresse
was. Dié disk is op die Isin-Larsa-vlak van die uitgrawing aangetref wat op die jare 2000 –
1800 VHE dui.
Enheduanna het ’n ryke literêre korpus nagelaat, waaronder ’n versameling wat as die
Sumeriese Tempel Himnes bekend staan en deur sommige geleerdes as die vroegste vorm
van sistematiese teologie beskou word. Haar werk is steeds honderde jare later op
kleitablette gekopieer en in stede soos Lagash, Nippur en Ur bewaar.
Onder haar bekendste werke tel Inninşagurra (Die Ruimhartige Meesteres), Ninmeşarra
(Die Verheerliking van Inanna) en Inninmehuşa (Godin van Skrikwekkende Magte).
Enheduanna het 42 gewyde liedere gekomponeer wat opgedra is aan tempels regdeur
Sumer en Akkad, waaronder die tempels van Eridu, Sippar en Esnunna. Die lirieke verskyn
op 37 tablette wat by Ur en Nippur gevind is, en wat gedateer word tot die Ur III en Ou
Babiloniese tydperke.

Sargon se ryk het die grootste deel van die teenswoordige Irak en dele van Iran, Libanon,
Sirië en Turkye ingesluit. Sy dynastie het vir ongeveer 150 jaar geduur. Hy is deur sy seun
Rimush opgevolg en daarna deur sy ander seun Manishtushu.
Die ruïnes van Akkad / Agade is nog nie opgespoor nie. Die naam is Sumeries, met die
betekenis “Kroon van Vuur” (Aga-de).

Sargon het vir byna twee millennia daarna as ’n rolmodel vir latere Mesopotamiese
heersers gedien. Die Assiriese en Babiloniese vorste het hulself as erfgename van Sargon
beskou.
Konings soos Nabonidus / Nabû-naʾid (regeertyd 556–539 VHE) het groot belangstelling
getoon in die geskiedenis van die Sargoniese dinastie en het selfs argeologiese opgrawings
van Sargon se paleise laat uitvoer.
6
In die tempelhimnes verklaar Enheduanna: “My koning, daar is iets geskep wat nooit
voorheen bestaan het nie.” Die kopiëring van die tempelhimnes is bewys daarvan dat dit
honderde jare na die dood van Enheduanna steeds in gebruik was.
In 1927 het die argeoloog Sir Leonard Wooley die Enhuduanna disk in die uitgrawings by Ur
gevind. Drie tekste daarop identifiseer die vier figure wat daarop verskyn: Enheduanna, twee
hofbeamptes en haar skrywer. Die inskripsie lees: "Enheduanna, zirru-priesteres, vrou van
Nanna, dogter van Sargon, koning van die wêreld, in die tempel van Innana.” Die afbeelding
van Enheduanna verskyn in ’n prominente posisie teenoor die ander drie. Die inskripsie
agterop beskryf Enheduanna as ‘Vrou van Nanna, dogter van Sargon.’
7
Nin-me-shara, "Die Verheerliking van Inanna", is eerste deur Hallo en van Dijk in 1968
vertaal, en in 1997 deur Annette Zgoll in Duits. Die eerste deel verheerlik Inanna met ’n lang
lys eienskappe. Daarna praat Enheduanna in die eerste persoon en bekla haar lot – haar
verbanning uit die tempel en uit die stede Ur en Uruk. Sy doen 'n beroep op Inanna om vir
haar in die bresse te tree.
Na die dood van Sargon het daar politieke onrus uitgebreek waartydens sy uit Ur verban is.
Nin-me-sara is ’n beskrywing van haar verbanning en eindelike herstel in die amp van
hoëpriesteres.

Vertalings
Mistress of the divine, resplendent light,
Woman of radiance, righteous and beloved
Of An and Urac – Heaven’s Mistress! – breasts
Bejeweled; cherishing the headdress of your priestess -
She who grasps the seven sacred powers!
Goddess, protector of the powers, and giver -
Behold your necklaced hand and fingers. Yours,
The gathering of the powers and yours to clasp
Against your breast. In foreign lands your breath
Is like the dragon’s venom. When like Ickur
The earth receives your roar, neither leaf nor wood
Withstand you. You are as a mighty flood
To foreign lands, the might of earth and heaven, you
Are their Inana.

Hymn to Inanna
O Queen of the Seven Gods, O radiant splendor
of light, fountain of life, darling of Heaven
and Earth, priest, daughter and servant of Heaven!
jewelled and crowned with life, born to be Lord,
in your hand are the guardian spirits of the Seven Gods,
and you yourself guard and protect the guardian spirits,
you have taken them up and tied them to your hands,
have gathered them in and pressed them to your breast.
You can fill the land with poison like a snake,
plants vanish from the earth when you thunder like Anu,
at your command the floods come down from the mountain.
Supreme in power, Inanna of Heaven and Earth,
whose mouth rains sparkles of lightning over the land,
mistress of beasts, given the gods’ life-spirits
by An, by An given the unfailing Word
to speak at his fateful command: who can fathom your glory?
...O wild and rampant, eldest daughter of the Moon,
Queen greater than An, who can pay you sufficient homage?
Queen of Queens, who in accordance with the spirits
were greater than your mother the moment you were born,
wise and knowing queen of all the lands,
mother of men and animals, I sing your praise...
I have entered before you in my holy garments,
I the princess imperial, Enheduanna,
singing as I carried your ritual baskets,
High Priestess of the Moon. But now no longer
can I serve the goodly temple that I established,
for the day that dawns in Ur scorches my skin
and the sand of the Southwind overwhelms me at nightfall,
My honey sweet voice is hoarse and strident
and all that gave me pleasure has fallen to dust.
I, what am I among living creatures!
An, An, give to punishment the rebels
that hate Inanna, and split their cities’ walls!
Enlil, curse them, and let their children perish
with no mother there to soothe them!
...The queen of queens, the prop of all the nations,
accepted Enheduanna’s prayers. Her heart
was again as of old, the day became propitious,
Inanna showered her beauty and allure
and joy like silver moonlight over our land!
Ancient Nanu in wonder and awe, and Ningal
her mother, worshiped her at the templ’s doorstep.
Priestess, queen, noble commander of gods,
destroyer of barbarians, whom An made protector of spirits,
Queen, clothed in allure and attraction, Inanna: Praise!

Lady of all the divine powers, resplendent light, righteous woman clothed in radiance, beloved
of An and Urac! Mistress of heaven, with the great pectoral jewels, who loves the good headdress befitting
the office of en priestess, who has seized all seven of its divine powers! My lady, you are the guardian of
the great divine powers! You have taken up the divine powers, you have hung the divine powers from your
hand. You have gathered up the divine powers, you have clasped the divine powers to your breast. Like a
dragon you have deposited venom on the foreign lands. When like Ickur you roar at the earth, no
vegetation can stand up to you. As a flood descending upon (?) those foreign lands, powerful one of
heaven and earth, you are their Inana.
Raining blazing fire down upon the Land, endowed with divine powers by An, lady who rides upon a beast,
whose words are spoken at the holy command of An! The great rites are yours: who can fathom them?
Destroyer of the foreign lands, you confer strength on the storm. Beloved of Enlil, you have made
awesome terror weigh upon the Land. You stand at the service of An's commands.

http://enenuru.net/visuals/enkur/ogi/Inanna%27s%20storm%20copy%209.jpg
At your battle-cry, my lady, the foreign lands bow low. When humanity comes before you in awed silence
at the terrifying radiance and tempest, you grasp the most terrible of all the divine powers. Because of you,
the threshold of tears is opened, and people walk along the path of the house of great lamentations. In the
van of battle, all is struck down before you. With your strength, my lady, teeth can crush flint. You charge
forward like a charging storm. You roar with the roaring storm, you continually thunder with Ickur. You
spread exhaustion with the stormwinds, while your own feet remain tireless. With the
lamenting balaj drum a lament is struck up.
My lady, the great Anuna gods fly from you to the ruin mounds like scudding bats. They dare not stand
before your terrible gaze. They dare not confront your terrible countenance. Who can cool your raging
heart? Your malevolent anger is too great to cool. Lady, can your mood be soothed? Lady, can your heart
be gladdened? Eldest daughter of Suen, your rage cannot be cooled!
14
Lady supreme over the foreign lands, who can take anything from your province? Once you have extended
your province over the hills (2 mss. have instead: If you frown at the mountains), vegetation there is
ruined. Their great gateways (1 ms. has instead: palaces) are set afire. Blood is poured into their rivers
because of you, and their people must drink it (2 mss. have instead: could not drink). They must lead their
troops captive before you, all together. They must scatter their élite regiments for you, all together. They
must stand their able-bodied young men at your service, all together. Tempests have filled the dancing-
places of their cities. They drive their young men before you as prisoners. Your holy command has been
spoken over the city which has not declared "The foreign lands are yours!", wherever they have not
declared "It is your own father's!"; and it is brought back under your feet. Responsible care is removed
from its sheepfolds. Its woman no longer speaks affectionately with her husband; at dead of night she no
longer takes counsel with him, and she no longer reveals to him the pure thoughts of her heart. Impetuous
wild cow, great daughter ofSuen, lady greater than An, who can take anything from your province?
Great queen of queens, issue of a holy womb for righteous divine powers, greater than your own mother,
wise and sage, lady of all the foreign lands, life-force of the teeming people: I will recite your holy song!
True goddess fit for divine powers, your splendid utterances are magnificent. Deep-hearted, good woman
with a radiant heart, I will enumerate your divine powers (2 mss. have instead: good divine powers) (1 ms.
has instead: holy divine powers) for you!
I, En-hedu-ana the en priestess, entered my holy jipar in your service. I carried the ritual basket, and
intoned the song of joy. But funeral offerings were (1 ms. has instead my ritual meal was) brought, as if I
had never lived there. I approached the light, but the light was scorching hot to me. I approached that
shade, but I was covered with a storm. My honeyed mouth became venomous. My ability to soothe moods
vanished.
Suen, tell An about Lugal-ane and my fate! May An undo it for me! As soon as you tell An about it, An will
release me. The woman will take the destiny away fromLugal-ane; foreign lands and flood lie at her feet.
The woman too is exalted, and can make cities tremble. Step forward, so that she will cool her heart for
me.
I, En-hedu-ana, will recite a prayer to you. To you, holy Inana, I shall give free vent to my tears like sweet
beer! I shall say to her "Your decision!" (some mss. have instead: "Greetings!") Do not be anxious
about Acimbabbar. In connection with the purification rites of holy An, Lugal-ane has altered everything of
his, and has stripped An of the E-ana. He has not stood in awe of the greatest deity. He has turned that
temple, whose attractions were inexhaustible, whose beauty was endless, into a destroyed temple. While
he entered before me as if he was a partner, really he approached out of envy.
My good divine wild cow, drive out the man, capture the man! In the place of divine encouragement, what
is my standing now? May An extradite the land which is a malevolent rebel against your Nanna!
May An smash that city! May Enlil curse it! May its plaintive child not be placated by his mother! Lady, with
the laments begun, may your ship of lamentation be abandoned in hostile territory. Must I die because of
my holy songs? My Nanna has paid no heed to me (1 ms. has instead: has not decided my case). He has
destroyed me utterly in renegade territory. Acimbabbar has certainly not pronounced a verdict on me.
What is it to me if he has pronounced it? What is it to me if he has not pronounced it? He stood there in
triumph and drove me out of the temple. He made me fly like a swallow from the window; I have
exhausted my life-strength. He made me walk through the thorn bushes of the mountains. He stripped me
of the rightful crown (1 ms. has instead: garment) of the enpriestess. He gave me a knife and dagger,
saying to me "These are appropriate ornaments for you".
15
http://www.elvenkings-harp.at/e_html/e_enhedua.htm
Most precious lady, beloved by An, your holy heart is great; may it be assuaged on my behalf! Beloved
spouse of Ucumgal-ana, you are the great lady of the horizon and zenith of the heavens. The Anuna have
submitted to you. From birth you were the junior queen: how supreme you are now over the Anuna, the
great gods! The Anuna kiss the ground with their lips before you. But my own trial is not yet concluded,
although a hostile verdict encloses me as if it were my own verdict. I did not reach out my hands to the (1
ms. has instead: my) flowered bed. I did not reveal the pronouncements of Ningal to anybody. My lady
beloved of An, may your heart be calmed towards me, the brilliant en priestess of Nanna!
It must be known! It must be known! Nanna has not yet spoken out! He has said, "He is yours!" Be it
known that you are lofty as the heavens! Be it known that you are broad as the earth! Be it known that you
destroy the rebel lands! Be it known that you roar at the foreign lands! Be it known that you crush heads!
Be it known that you devour corpses like a dog! Be it known that your gaze is terrible! Be it known that you
lift your terrible gaze! Be it known that you have flashing eyes! Be it known that you are unshakeable and
unyielding! Be it known that you always stand triumphant! That Nanna has not yet spoken out, and that he
has said "He is yours!" has made you greater, my lady; you have become the greatest! My lady beloved
by An, I shall tell of all your rages (1 ms. has instead: daises)! I have heaped up the coals in the censer, and
prepared the purification rites. The Ecdam-kug shrine awaits you. Might your heart not be appeased
towards me?
Since it was full, too full for me, great exalted lady, I have recited this song for you. May a singer repeat to
you at noon that which was recited to you at dead of night: "Because of your captive spouse, because of
your captive child, your rage is increased, your heart unassuaged."

Das Lied der Hohepriesterin En-hedu-Ana an die Göttin Inanna.
(Sprache: Sumerisch, deutsche Übersetzung: Prof. Dr. Annette Zgoll, Göttingen)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xhZzkdj3PQ
Mistress of the uncountable ME (=Divine Mights), who brightly stepped out,
dynamic woman, carrying the brightness of terror, beloved by An and Urash,
ruler of heaven, who has the great coronets of reign, who loves the mighty crown of Aga,
which is important for being a High Priest, who has taken possession of ths Seven ME,
my Mistress!
You are the Keeper of the great ME,
you elevated the ME, you held the ME in your hand.
you collected the ME, you pressed the ME against your breast.
Like a dragon you gave poison against the hostile land.
Whenever you roared against a land like Ishkur (the weather-god),
Ezinam (the grain-goddess) was not there (any more) for this (land),
you deluge, who avanlanches against such a foreign land,
the Outstanding, the Inana of these (the lands) art thou.
17
You fire, ever relumed, crackling down to the land of Sumer,
who was given the ME by An,
Mistress who rides on beasts,
who speaks the wrods of An, authorized by the fate-making words.
Which of the great rites are yours -- who knows?
Destroyer of the hostile lands, you gave power to the storm.
Beloved by Enlil, you imposed fright on the land (of Sumer).
You were available for the assignments of An.
My mistress!
All hostile lands bow to your roar!
Whenever humankind horror-stricken and closemouthed has stepped towards you for the
glint and beam of terror and storm,
-- you had taken the most terrible of the ME for yourself --
then the sill of lament has been opened for you,
then they run to you on the lane of the house of the great lament.
Already before the battle all things had been torn away for you.
My mistress!
Your power -- it crushes every flintstone.
You dart by like the storm darting by,
you howl with the howling storm,
you thunder with Ishkur,
with the dreadful thunderstorm -- do you get weary by this?
(No,) your foot never gets weary,
so that they begin a lament-song with the harp of lament.

Priesteres Enɧeduanna

  • 2. 2 En = hoëpriester; ɧedu = sieraad; anna = van die hemel Deur Pieter Uys Opgedra aan Sheree Rayfield (6 Augustus 2013) Die Akkadiese/Sumeriese digteres Enheduanna (2285-2250 voor die huidige era) is die heel eerste skrywer in die geskiedenis wat by name bekend is. Sy was the dogter van koning Sargon van Akkad (Sargon the Grote). Haar moeder se naam was Tashlultum. Enheduanna is welbekend uit argeologiese en skriftelike bronne. Sy was hoëpriesteres van die maangod Nanna in the Sumeriese stad Ur. Twee seëls waarop haar naam verskyn, is in die koninklike begraafplaas van Ur gevind. ’n Albasterdisk waarop haar naam en afbeelding verskyn, is ook in Ur gevind, in die Jipar-seksie wat die woonplek van die En-priesteresse was. Dié disk is op die Isin-Larsa-vlak van die uitgrawing aangetref wat op die jare 2000 – 1800 VHE dui. Enheduanna het ’n ryke literêre korpus nagelaat, waaronder ’n versameling wat as die Sumeriese Tempel Himnes bekend staan en deur sommige geleerdes as die vroegste vorm van sistematiese teologie beskou word. Haar werk is steeds honderde jare later op kleitablette gekopieer en in stede soos Lagash, Nippur en Ur bewaar. Onder haar bekendste werke tel Inninşagurra (Die Ruimhartige Meesteres), Ninmeşarra (Die Verheerliking van Inanna) en Inninmehuşa (Godin van Skrikwekkende Magte). Enheduanna het 42 gewyde liedere gekomponeer wat opgedra is aan tempels regdeur Sumer en Akkad, waaronder die tempels van Eridu, Sippar en Esnunna. Die lirieke verskyn op 37 tablette wat by Ur en Nippur gevind is, en wat gedateer word tot die Ur III en Ou Babiloniese tydperke.
  • 3. 3
  • 4. 4 Sargon se ryk het die grootste deel van die teenswoordige Irak en dele van Iran, Libanon, Sirië en Turkye ingesluit. Sy dynastie het vir ongeveer 150 jaar geduur. Hy is deur sy seun Rimush opgevolg en daarna deur sy ander seun Manishtushu. Die ruïnes van Akkad / Agade is nog nie opgespoor nie. Die naam is Sumeries, met die betekenis “Kroon van Vuur” (Aga-de). http://www.theodora.com/encyclopedia/s2/sumer.html
  • 5. 5 Sargon het vir byna twee millennia daarna as ’n rolmodel vir latere Mesopotamiese heersers gedien. Die Assiriese en Babiloniese vorste het hulself as erfgename van Sargon beskou. Konings soos Nabonidus / Nabû-naʾid (regeertyd 556–539 VHE) het groot belangstelling getoon in die geskiedenis van die Sargoniese dinastie en het selfs argeologiese opgrawings van Sargon se paleise laat uitvoer.
  • 6. 6 In die tempelhimnes verklaar Enheduanna: “My koning, daar is iets geskep wat nooit voorheen bestaan het nie.” Die kopiëring van die tempelhimnes is bewys daarvan dat dit honderde jare na die dood van Enheduanna steeds in gebruik was. In 1927 het die argeoloog Sir Leonard Wooley die Enhuduanna disk in die uitgrawings by Ur gevind. Drie tekste daarop identifiseer die vier figure wat daarop verskyn: Enheduanna, twee hofbeamptes en haar skrywer. Die inskripsie lees: "Enheduanna, zirru-priesteres, vrou van Nanna, dogter van Sargon, koning van die wêreld, in die tempel van Innana.” Die afbeelding van Enheduanna verskyn in ’n prominente posisie teenoor die ander drie. Die inskripsie agterop beskryf Enheduanna as ‘Vrou van Nanna, dogter van Sargon.’
  • 7. 7 Nin-me-shara, "Die Verheerliking van Inanna", is eerste deur Hallo en van Dijk in 1968 vertaal, en in 1997 deur Annette Zgoll in Duits. Die eerste deel verheerlik Inanna met ’n lang lys eienskappe. Daarna praat Enheduanna in die eerste persoon en bekla haar lot – haar verbanning uit die tempel en uit die stede Ur en Uruk. Sy doen 'n beroep op Inanna om vir haar in die bresse te tree. Na die dood van Sargon het daar politieke onrus uitgebreek waartydens sy uit Ur verban is. Nin-me-sara is ’n beskrywing van haar verbanning en eindelike herstel in die amp van hoëpriesteres.
  • 8. 8 Vertalings Mistress of the divine, resplendent light, Woman of radiance, righteous and beloved Of An and Urac – Heaven’s Mistress! – breasts Bejeweled; cherishing the headdress of your priestess - She who grasps the seven sacred powers! Goddess, protector of the powers, and giver - Behold your necklaced hand and fingers. Yours, The gathering of the powers and yours to clasp Against your breast. In foreign lands your breath Is like the dragon’s venom. When like Ickur The earth receives your roar, neither leaf nor wood Withstand you. You are as a mighty flood To foreign lands, the might of earth and heaven, you Are their Inana. 2010 by Patrick Gillespie
  • 9. 9 Hymn to Inanna O Queen of the Seven Gods, O radiant splendor of light, fountain of life, darling of Heaven and Earth, priest, daughter and servant of Heaven! jewelled and crowned with life, born to be Lord, in your hand are the guardian spirits of the Seven Gods, and you yourself guard and protect the guardian spirits, you have taken them up and tied them to your hands, have gathered them in and pressed them to your breast. You can fill the land with poison like a snake, plants vanish from the earth when you thunder like Anu, at your command the floods come down from the mountain. Supreme in power, Inanna of Heaven and Earth, whose mouth rains sparkles of lightning over the land, mistress of beasts, given the gods’ life-spirits by An, by An given the unfailing Word to speak at his fateful command: who can fathom your glory? ...O wild and rampant, eldest daughter of the Moon, Queen greater than An, who can pay you sufficient homage? Queen of Queens, who in accordance with the spirits were greater than your mother the moment you were born, wise and knowing queen of all the lands, mother of men and animals, I sing your praise... I have entered before you in my holy garments, I the princess imperial, Enheduanna, singing as I carried your ritual baskets, High Priestess of the Moon. But now no longer can I serve the goodly temple that I established, for the day that dawns in Ur scorches my skin and the sand of the Southwind overwhelms me at nightfall, My honey sweet voice is hoarse and strident and all that gave me pleasure has fallen to dust. I, what am I among living creatures! An, An, give to punishment the rebels that hate Inanna, and split their cities’ walls! Enlil, curse them, and let their children perish with no mother there to soothe them! ...The queen of queens, the prop of all the nations, accepted Enheduanna’s prayers. Her heart was again as of old, the day became propitious, Inanna showered her beauty and allure and joy like silver moonlight over our land! Ancient Nanu in wonder and awe, and Ningal her mother, worshiped her at the templ’s doorstep. Priestess, queen, noble commander of gods, destroyer of barbarians, whom An made protector of spirits, Queen, clothed in allure and attraction, Inanna: Praise! http://freeforumzone.leonardo.it/discussione.aspx?idd=7796717

  • 12. 12 Lady of all the divine powers, resplendent light, righteous woman clothed in radiance, beloved of An and Urac! Mistress of heaven, with the great pectoral jewels, who loves the good headdress befitting the office of en priestess, who has seized all seven of its divine powers! My lady, you are the guardian of the great divine powers! You have taken up the divine powers, you have hung the divine powers from your hand. You have gathered up the divine powers, you have clasped the divine powers to your breast. Like a dragon you have deposited venom on the foreign lands. When like Ickur you roar at the earth, no vegetation can stand up to you. As a flood descending upon (?) those foreign lands, powerful one of heaven and earth, you are their Inana. Raining blazing fire down upon the Land, endowed with divine powers by An, lady who rides upon a beast, whose words are spoken at the holy command of An! The great rites are yours: who can fathom them? Destroyer of the foreign lands, you confer strength on the storm. Beloved of Enlil, you have made awesome terror weigh upon the Land. You stand at the service of An's commands. http://www.polyvore.com/enheduanna_princess_priestess_poet/set?id=36357026
  • 13. 13 http://enenuru.net/visuals/enkur/ogi/Inanna%27s%20storm%20copy%209.jpg At your battle-cry, my lady, the foreign lands bow low. When humanity comes before you in awed silence at the terrifying radiance and tempest, you grasp the most terrible of all the divine powers. Because of you, the threshold of tears is opened, and people walk along the path of the house of great lamentations. In the van of battle, all is struck down before you. With your strength, my lady, teeth can crush flint. You charge forward like a charging storm. You roar with the roaring storm, you continually thunder with Ickur. You spread exhaustion with the stormwinds, while your own feet remain tireless. With the lamenting balaj drum a lament is struck up. My lady, the great Anuna gods fly from you to the ruin mounds like scudding bats. They dare not stand before your terrible gaze. They dare not confront your terrible countenance. Who can cool your raging heart? Your malevolent anger is too great to cool. Lady, can your mood be soothed? Lady, can your heart be gladdened? Eldest daughter of Suen, your rage cannot be cooled!
  • 14. 14 Lady supreme over the foreign lands, who can take anything from your province? Once you have extended your province over the hills (2 mss. have instead: If you frown at the mountains), vegetation there is ruined. Their great gateways (1 ms. has instead: palaces) are set afire. Blood is poured into their rivers because of you, and their people must drink it (2 mss. have instead: could not drink). They must lead their troops captive before you, all together. They must scatter their élite regiments for you, all together. They must stand their able-bodied young men at your service, all together. Tempests have filled the dancing- places of their cities. They drive their young men before you as prisoners. Your holy command has been spoken over the city which has not declared "The foreign lands are yours!", wherever they have not declared "It is your own father's!"; and it is brought back under your feet. Responsible care is removed from its sheepfolds. Its woman no longer speaks affectionately with her husband; at dead of night she no longer takes counsel with him, and she no longer reveals to him the pure thoughts of her heart. Impetuous wild cow, great daughter ofSuen, lady greater than An, who can take anything from your province? Great queen of queens, issue of a holy womb for righteous divine powers, greater than your own mother, wise and sage, lady of all the foreign lands, life-force of the teeming people: I will recite your holy song! True goddess fit for divine powers, your splendid utterances are magnificent. Deep-hearted, good woman with a radiant heart, I will enumerate your divine powers (2 mss. have instead: good divine powers) (1 ms. has instead: holy divine powers) for you! I, En-hedu-ana the en priestess, entered my holy jipar in your service. I carried the ritual basket, and intoned the song of joy. But funeral offerings were (1 ms. has instead my ritual meal was) brought, as if I had never lived there. I approached the light, but the light was scorching hot to me. I approached that shade, but I was covered with a storm. My honeyed mouth became venomous. My ability to soothe moods vanished. Suen, tell An about Lugal-ane and my fate! May An undo it for me! As soon as you tell An about it, An will release me. The woman will take the destiny away fromLugal-ane; foreign lands and flood lie at her feet. The woman too is exalted, and can make cities tremble. Step forward, so that she will cool her heart for me. I, En-hedu-ana, will recite a prayer to you. To you, holy Inana, I shall give free vent to my tears like sweet beer! I shall say to her "Your decision!" (some mss. have instead: "Greetings!") Do not be anxious about Acimbabbar. In connection with the purification rites of holy An, Lugal-ane has altered everything of his, and has stripped An of the E-ana. He has not stood in awe of the greatest deity. He has turned that temple, whose attractions were inexhaustible, whose beauty was endless, into a destroyed temple. While he entered before me as if he was a partner, really he approached out of envy. My good divine wild cow, drive out the man, capture the man! In the place of divine encouragement, what is my standing now? May An extradite the land which is a malevolent rebel against your Nanna! May An smash that city! May Enlil curse it! May its plaintive child not be placated by his mother! Lady, with the laments begun, may your ship of lamentation be abandoned in hostile territory. Must I die because of my holy songs? My Nanna has paid no heed to me (1 ms. has instead: has not decided my case). He has destroyed me utterly in renegade territory. Acimbabbar has certainly not pronounced a verdict on me. What is it to me if he has pronounced it? What is it to me if he has not pronounced it? He stood there in triumph and drove me out of the temple. He made me fly like a swallow from the window; I have exhausted my life-strength. He made me walk through the thorn bushes of the mountains. He stripped me of the rightful crown (1 ms. has instead: garment) of the enpriestess. He gave me a knife and dagger, saying to me "These are appropriate ornaments for you".
  • 15. 15 http://www.elvenkings-harp.at/e_html/e_enhedua.htm Most precious lady, beloved by An, your holy heart is great; may it be assuaged on my behalf! Beloved spouse of Ucumgal-ana, you are the great lady of the horizon and zenith of the heavens. The Anuna have submitted to you. From birth you were the junior queen: how supreme you are now over the Anuna, the great gods! The Anuna kiss the ground with their lips before you. But my own trial is not yet concluded, although a hostile verdict encloses me as if it were my own verdict. I did not reach out my hands to the (1 ms. has instead: my) flowered bed. I did not reveal the pronouncements of Ningal to anybody. My lady beloved of An, may your heart be calmed towards me, the brilliant en priestess of Nanna! It must be known! It must be known! Nanna has not yet spoken out! He has said, "He is yours!" Be it known that you are lofty as the heavens! Be it known that you are broad as the earth! Be it known that you destroy the rebel lands! Be it known that you roar at the foreign lands! Be it known that you crush heads! Be it known that you devour corpses like a dog! Be it known that your gaze is terrible! Be it known that you lift your terrible gaze! Be it known that you have flashing eyes! Be it known that you are unshakeable and unyielding! Be it known that you always stand triumphant! That Nanna has not yet spoken out, and that he has said "He is yours!" has made you greater, my lady; you have become the greatest! My lady beloved by An, I shall tell of all your rages (1 ms. has instead: daises)! I have heaped up the coals in the censer, and prepared the purification rites. The Ecdam-kug shrine awaits you. Might your heart not be appeased towards me? Since it was full, too full for me, great exalted lady, I have recited this song for you. May a singer repeat to you at noon that which was recited to you at dead of night: "Because of your captive spouse, because of your captive child, your rage is increased, your heart unassuaged."
  • 16. 16 Das Lied der Hohepriesterin En-hedu-Ana an die Göttin Inanna. (Sprache: Sumerisch, deutsche Übersetzung: Prof. Dr. Annette Zgoll, Göttingen) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xhZzkdj3PQ Mistress of the uncountable ME (=Divine Mights), who brightly stepped out, dynamic woman, carrying the brightness of terror, beloved by An and Urash, ruler of heaven, who has the great coronets of reign, who loves the mighty crown of Aga, which is important for being a High Priest, who has taken possession of ths Seven ME, my Mistress! You are the Keeper of the great ME, you elevated the ME, you held the ME in your hand. you collected the ME, you pressed the ME against your breast. Like a dragon you gave poison against the hostile land. Whenever you roared against a land like Ishkur (the weather-god), Ezinam (the grain-goddess) was not there (any more) for this (land), you deluge, who avanlanches against such a foreign land, the Outstanding, the Inana of these (the lands) art thou.
  • 17. 17 You fire, ever relumed, crackling down to the land of Sumer, who was given the ME by An, Mistress who rides on beasts, who speaks the wrods of An, authorized by the fate-making words. Which of the great rites are yours -- who knows? Destroyer of the hostile lands, you gave power to the storm. Beloved by Enlil, you imposed fright on the land (of Sumer). You were available for the assignments of An. My mistress! All hostile lands bow to your roar! Whenever humankind horror-stricken and closemouthed has stepped towards you for the glint and beam of terror and storm, -- you had taken the most terrible of the ME for yourself -- then the sill of lament has been opened for you, then they run to you on the lane of the house of the great lament. Already before the battle all things had been torn away for you. My mistress! Your power -- it crushes every flintstone. You dart by like the storm darting by, you howl with the howling storm, you thunder with Ishkur, with the dreadful thunderstorm -- do you get weary by this? (No,) your foot never gets weary, so that they begin a lament-song with the harp of lament.
