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
