The Chapter of Being Transformed into the
Prince
of the Tchatchau Chiefs
The Osiris Nu, whose
word is truth, saith: I am the god Tem, the maker of the
sky, the creator of the things which are, who cometh
forth from the earth, who made the seed of man to come
into being, the Lord of things, who fashioned the gods,
the Great God, who created himself, the Lord of Life, who
made to flourish the Two Companies of the Gods. Homage to
you, O ye divine Lords of things, ye holy beings, whose
seats are veiled! Homage to you, O ye Lords of Eternity,
whose forms are concealed, whose sanctuaries are
mysteries, whose places of abode are not known! Homage to
you, O ye gods, who dwell in the Tenait (Circle of
Light)! Homage to you, O ye gods of the Circle of the
country of the Cataracts! Homage to you, O ye gods who
dwell in Amentet! Homage to you, O ye gods who dwell
within Nut! Grant ye to me that I may come before you, I
am pure, I am like a god. I am endowed with a
Spirit-soul. I am strong. I am endowed with a Heart-soul.
I bring unto you incense, and spice, and natron. I have
done away with the chidings of your mouths. I have come,
I have done away the evil which was in your hearts, and I
have removed the offences which appertained to you
[against me]. I bring to you deeds of well-doing, and I
present before you truth. I know you. I know your names.
I know your forms which are not known. I come into being
among you. My coming is like unto that god who eateth
men, and who feedeth upon the gods. I am strong before
you even like that god who is exalted upon his pedestal,
unto whom the gods come with rejoicing, and the goddesses
make supplication when they see me. I have come unto you.
I have ascended my throne like your Two Daughters. I have
taken my seat in the horizon. I receive my offerings of
propitiation upon my altars. I drink my fill of seth wine
every evening. I come to those who are making rejoicings,
and the gods who live in the horizon ascribe unto me
praises, as the divine Spirit-body, the Lord of mortals.
I am exalted like that holy god who dwelleth in the Great
House. The gods rejoice greatly when they see my
beautiful appearances from the body of the goddess Nut,
and when the goddess Nut bringeth me forth.
