Translation:
The throne (where) cases had been decided no longer stood(?), cases were not undertaken correctly
(Nanna/Suen's vizier) Alamuš dropped the scepter (with) his hand shaking
In the holy bed chamber of Nanna ... he(?) does not ... at/on his feet(?)
The holy treasure box, which no one(!) is to see, the enemy saw (inside of it)
... did not set up the pure bed/bed of flowers, ... did not spread out shining plants (upon it)
They were cutting down the statue that occupied(?) the uzga shrine
The engiz temple cook, dream interpreter, and seal bearer did not use the ešda vessel(?) properly
They stood in the manner of one whose neck is pushed to the ground(?) the mountain(dwellers?) carried(?) them away
In the holy uzga shrine, the šagadala priests of the pure washing rites
They(?) were forsaking the pure plans and the me, they(?) went to another city
Suen brought his ruined heart there for his father
He knelt there before his birth father Enlil
My birth father, how long will the eye of the enemy have looked at the accounts(?), how long ...
When you give lordship and kingship, do not ... towards me/on my behalf
Father Enlil, the one of the true order and command
Father Enlil, it is the fate that you decreed and therefore no one can release (its) logic(?)
On(?) my hair, bound up with the suh headress/pectoral(?)
Enlil was speaking a true word to his son Suen
My son, a city of abundance was built(?) for you, your turn of office sought (you?) out(?)
The destroyed city, the flattening of the parapet of the great wall by the storm, this too is (a part of) the turn of office
One who ..., for the dark days of you term of office, may “open (the temple(?))” be known(?)
Previous dweller, in your dwelling, the Etemenniguru temple, which was built faithfully
May ... (re)build it in joy, may the people bow down towards it
May ... have bread (?) at its base, may Ašnan rejoice with him
May ... have joy in its branches, may Utu rejoice
On its table may the abundance of Ašnan embrace ...
May Ur, the city decreed by An, be returned to its place for you
May Enlil, who is the true speaker, raise his neck towards heaven
For Nanna may the high and low (land) assemble(?)
For Suen may he set the roads of the land of land in order
Touching the ground like a rainstorm(?) ...
It was the spoken word of An and Enlil, and therefore it was being carried out faithfully(?)
Nanna stood(?) in his city, Ur, with head held high
Suen was able to enter the Ekišnugal temple
Ningal was relaxing in her pure chamber
The youth Suen was able to enter into his Ekišnugal temple
Bitter storm, storm, raise you chest (depart), storm, turn back/confine yourself in your house
Storm, destroyer of cities, storm, raise you chest (depart), storm, turn back/confine yourself in your house
Storm, destroyer of temples, storm, raise you chest (depart), storm, turn back/confine yourself in your house
May the storm that once spent time in Sumer spend time in the (other) lands instead
May the storm that once spent time in the land spend time in the (other) lands instead
May it spend time in the land of Tidnum instead, may it spend time in (that) land
May it spend time in the land of Gutium instead, may it spend time in (that) land
May it spend time in the land of Anšan instead, may it spend time in (that) land
So that in Ur the term of office and abundance last long
(So that) the people lay down in the meadows and copulate
Alas, humanity is stricken(?) and gathered up(?)
The princess(?) the one (of) weeping and lament (says)
“Nanna, alas, your city, alas, your temple, alas, your humanity”
It is the 5th kirugu
