A prayer to Kothar-wa-Ḫasis, Ea the Ambidextrous
Praises to Kothar, Lord of Craft, glory from all under the Stars;
Ḫasis Who reigns among the Ocean has prevailed.
Honor rises from the artisans to Kothar, Divine Father of the Workshops;
Jubilation breaks out from sailors for Ḫasis, Guarantor of the Seaways.
The Vaults of Heaven rumbled when You struck forth from Your Sanctuary,
You show no fear grappling with the Jaws of Death;
Terror for your might rings in the heart of Tannin, the Tyrant of Seven Heads,
The Two Deeps await Your Word from within the Earth.
Surely You will keep me from all danger and ill pronouncement;
The whole land is at peace by the wisdom of Ea the Ambidextrous.
