Translation:
If my friend dropped his head in the plants then no one can know his place
Dumuzi! They were seeking his head in the plants, no one found him
If he dropped his head in the tiny plants then no one can know his place
Dumuzi! They were seeking his head in the tiny plants, no one found him
If he dropped his head in the large plants then no one can know his place
Dumuzi! They were seeking his head in the large plants, no one found him
If he dropped (his) head in the dikes of Arali then no one can know his place
Dumuzi! They were catching him in the dikes of Arali
Dumuzi wept and made sobbing noises
My sister sustained me in the city, my friend killed me in the city
May my sister station (her) son in the street, and may he be kissed
May (my) friend station (his) son in the street, and may he not be kissed
They surrounded the man, they ... the reservoir
They were braiding a cord for him, they were knotting a net for him
They were braiding the zippatum cord for him
They were “scratching"(?) sticks of manu wood for him
The man before him was pelting him
The man behind him was pulling him out (from his hiding place) as (if he was merely?) one cubit (tall?)
His hands were seized in handcuffs,
his arms were bound in manacles
The young man raised his hands heavenward for Utu
Utu, you are my brother in law, I am your in-law
You are my food carrier to the Eanna temple
I am the one who made a betrothal gift in Uruk
I am the one who kissed the holy lips
I am the one who played on the holy knees, the knees of Inanna
After you have prepared my hands as the hands of a gazelle
After you have prepared my feet as the feet of a gazelle
I want to run for my life towards ...
Utu accepted his tears as a kadra gift
Like a compassionate person he ... mercy
After he prepared his hands as the hands of a gazelle
After he prepared his feet as the feet of a gazelle
He ran for his life towards ...
The galla demons were seeking him, no one was finding him
Come, let us go to ...
Dumuzi! They seized him at ...
They encircled the man and ... the reservoir
They were braiding a cord for him, they were knotting a net for him
They were braiding the zippatum cord for him
They were “scratching"(!?) sticks of manu wood for him
The man before him was pelting him
The man behind him was pulling him out (from his hiding place) as (if he was merely?) one cuibit (tall?)
His hands were seized in handcuffs,
his arms were bound in manacles
The young man raised his hands heavenward for Utu
Utu, you are my brother in law, I am your in-law
You are my food carrier to the Eanna temple
I am the one who made a betrothal gift in Uruk
