Translation:
... the provider(? i.e., the king?) ...
... the provider(?) ...
Its standing/serving ... like a supreme ration ...
At its great gate Enlil stood the door (open) in the wind(?)
In Ur, no one went towards food, no one went towards water
The people were circling around like water poured into a well/pond
Its strength was not present in its aura(?) and thus its strength did not dwell (there)(?)
Enlil made starvation (in the form of?) an evil person dwell in the city
He made that which destroys cities, that which destroys temples, dwell in the city
He made that which before it a weapon does not stand (against) dwell in the city
He made the hungry/unsatfisfied and the eye-roller dwell in the city
In Ur, even (the fear/disdain of) head shaking like a single planted reed was not established
Its people took refuge like a caught fish
Meager and great alike spread out, no one arose/was mustered
The king(?) was mounted atop the gate tower(?), there was no food there for him
The king who had ate and drank good things, (had to now) clutch at a (mere) ration(?)
The sun was clouded over, (one) was being envious/watching(?) and knew fasting
There was no beer in the “house of the plain"(!?), its ... was not present
There was no food for him in his palace, it was not good(?) for dwelling
His supreme storehouse was not filled with grain, no one could take refuge there(?)
(The) grain (goddess) was not present in the large and small grain heaps
The afternoon meal of the gods was not? eaten, funerary offerings(?) ...
In the great banquet the honeyed liquor and ... wine ceased?
The giriPAa knife that consumes oxen and sheep ...
In the great oven the oxen and sheep were not being prepared (i.e., roasted?), one could no longer smell it(?)
The cry/breath of the “pure-armed” bursag building/functionary(?) stopped(?)
The temple that had once belowed like a bull ... silently
... did not execute deliveries properly, ...
The millstone, the mortar, and the pestle sat idle, no one bends down towards them
In the lapis harbor of Nanna (boats?) were “bound in the water” (due to silt?)
The water of the prow did not scream(?), it did not cast joy?
Sand(?) was piled up in the unuRIbanda building/shrine of Nanna
The ... rushes grew, the ... rushes grew, the reed of mourning(?) grew
Boats and barges quit the shining harbor
