I poured out his libations with beer, wine, oil, and honey and I sank his libations. Like those of the kings who preceded me, I strengthened his work and made his work more perfect. I built that Ekur from its foundations to its crenellations and completed its construction. I roofed it with magnificent cedar beams, which were piled up on Mount Amanus, and I fastened bands of cedar on doors of cedar whose scent is sweet at its gate.
He adorned the silver and gold of his temples and made them shine like the sun. The pure radiance of the pure zahalû-plant, which binds my cultic rites, he seated in his cella.
At the Gate of the Rising Sun on the right and left I made it shine. The hands of Sîn, Ningal, Nusku and Sadarnunna, my lords, I took out of Shuanna Babylon, my royal city, and with joy and joy, a place of happiness inside it, I settled. A sweet offering before them I offered and presented. My kadrû-festival of Ehulhul I filled with joy and the Harran to the border of his city like the middle of a month I made its splendor shine.
Sin, king of the gods of heaven and earth, whose reign the city and land had not established, whose foundations had not been restored, for Ehulhul, the temple that is yours, may the good fortune of the city and that temple be established in your presence. May the gods who dwell in heaven and earth constantly bless you. The temple of Sin, the father who created them, for me, Nabonidus, king of Babylon, who completes that temple,
May he look upon me with pleasure and may he be glad on account of my supplications and supplications. May he make my days long, may he lengthen my years, may he make my omens long, may he make my enemies bow down, may he make my zamanu-disease short, may he make my zamanu-disease short, may he make my zamanu-disease disappear, may Ningal, mother of the great gods, in the presence of Sîn, his beloved, speak a good word to Shamash and Ishtar, his bright heart, to Sîn, their father, may he speak good things about me, may Nusku, the exalted vizier, hear my prayers,
I saw the wording of the inscription, the inscription of Ashurbanipal, king of Assyria, but did not change it. I poured out oil, made sacrifices, and returned it to its place. For Shamash, judge of heaven and earth, the Ebabbar, his temple in Sippar, which Nabonidus, a king of the past, had built, and whose original foundations he had examined, but whose original foundations he had not seen, that temple he built, and in 45 years
I slew the brickwork of that house, ripped out its brickwork, and smashed the brickwork. I went back and forth, and the work that I had done before, until Shamash had brought it out of it, and settled it therein. In another house, that house, I built and its old foundations I inspected and
... son of Lugalgina, who for 3,200 years no king ... my ... did see. Shamash, great lord, the Ebabbar temple ... his happiness he showed me. ... in Tashritu, in the month of Shalmu, on a favorable day ... he ... me. Shamash and Adad with silver, gold, precious stones, precious stones, a scepter, a forest of juniper and cedar, in joy and rejoicing, above the foundations Naram-Sîn, son of Lugalgina,
He made his heart not to tremble, his fingers not to enter.

I made anew doors of white cedar and a nukushû-wood at its gate. I built the Ebabbar as far as the Kunankuga, its ziggurat, and completed its construction. I took the hand of Shamash, my lord, and I seated him inside it in joy and joy, a place of happiness. I found an inscribed object of Naram-Sin, son of Lugalgina, but I did not alter it. I made an offering and offered it.
Shamash, great lord of heaven and earth, light of the gods, his lord, the exalted one of Suen and Ningal, to Ebabbar, your beloved temple, at your entering, your eternal dais at your supplication, for me, Nanituku, king of Babylon, the prince who provides for you, who restores your heart, who makes your exalted cult center shine, my good deeds are constantly looked upon with pleasure and daily in the midst of heaven and underworld, they have made my good fortune.
Let me take my supplication, let me accept my prayer, let me be the one who carries the niggidru and the true shitru that you have made great, let me be the one who holds my hand forever to Anunitu, the lady of battle, the one who shoots bow and shield, the one who protects the command of Enlil, her father, the one who is smitten with evil, the one who destroys the wicked, the one who goes before the gods, who in the east and the west have made abundant, and the Eulmash, his temple, which in Sippar-Anunitu for 800 years
After Shagarakti-Surru, king of Babylon, son of Nikkal-Enlil, no king had built, I ripped out its old foundations and reconstructed them. I added them to the foundations of Shagarakti-Surru, son of Nikkal-Enlil, and thereby secured its brickwork. I built that temple anew and completed its construction. Anunitu, lady of battle, who protects the command of the god Enlil, his father,
When I came before the gods, I made his dwelling, the sattukku-offering and the nindabû-offering above that of the previous one, and I set it before him. You, Anunitu, great lady, at your entering my house, my good deeds are very good. I am constantly praising you, and at sunrise and sunset to Sîn, the father who came to you, a strewn offering of good deeds, who is that who Sîn and Shamash nominates to kingship and at his entering that house,
He should perform anew the scribal art, write my name, and not change it. May he eat oil, may he make an offering, may he place it with the scribal art, write his name, and return it to its place. May Shamash and Anunitu hear his prayer, may they agree his command, come to him, may they make his scribal art shine forth, daily to Sin, the father who created them, speak his good things.

... all of it, creator of the temple of Ashur, who completes his cultic rites, builder of Esagil and Babylon, who completes the rites of the gods of the lands, from Assur to their places he returned. The king whose payment the great gods gave to him and whose priesthood he established forever in the Ekur temples, their merciless weapons to the securing of his lordship he gave. The king whom the lord of lords, Marduk,
he made greater than the kings of the four quarters of the world, he made great, his lord, all the lands at his feet he made bow down, he imposed tribute and payment upon them, he conquered his enemies, he destroyed his foes, the king who marches, the apsû, his deeds, the savage, before him, the city, his backs, the snare, the snare, the mighty, the snare, the one who is unsubmissive to the scepter,
son of Sennacherib, king of the world, king of Assyria, son of Sargon II, king of the world, king of Assyria, general of Babylon, king of Sumer and Akkad, eternal seed of kingship, of Bel-bani, son of Adasi, the one who entrusted kingship of Assyria, in his later years, Baltil Ashur, by the command of the gods Ashur, Shamash, Nabû, and Marduk, the great gods, my lords, fell and I was strong, I was strong, I was encircled, I was encircled, I was encircled,
I am the mighty, I am the savage among all kings, none among them have a rival. The chosen of the deities Ashur, Nabû, and Marduk, chosen of Sin, favorite of Anu, beloved of queen Ishtar, goddess of all the four quarters, who has no weapon, who subdues the hostile land, I am a king who is able to gather battle and battle, who slays his enemies, who defeats his enemies, who destroys his foes, who subdues the insubmissive, who rules all people, Ashur, Shamash, Nabû, and Marduk
O great lords, whose commands cannot be changed, decide for me a fate unalterable one: O Ishtar, my mistress, who loves my priesthood, you made my strong bow, the mighty bow, the scepter, the one who strikes enemies with lightning, bow down at my feet and you made all rulers who are insubmissive to me bow down at my feet. When the god Ashur, the great lord, for the preservation of my good deeds, the people were all together, and over the kings of the four quarters,
he made my kingship great and made my name great. He made my fierce smiting to the enemy rage. He smote the land against Ashur, he smote it, he smote it, to the slain, the inhabited land of Assyria, he smote it. From Ashur and the great gods, my lords, they said to me: "Go, and I will go on the long journeys, sick, and sick, and the shitting of the strong, where there are slumber, I will march on my own."
the king of Egypt and Kush, the emblem of their great divinity, from the city Ishhupru to the city Memphis, a campaign of 15 days in the midst of the earth, a campaign without interruption, I massacred, and five times in the midst of a shitahu-tree, a savage attack, I killed him, and Memphis, his royal city, in half a day in a sacrificial campaign, I surrounded, conquered, destroyed, burned, and burned with fire.
I carried off his palace women, his palace women, Ushanahuru, his sons, his daughters, his property, his possessions, his horses, his oxen, and his sheep without number. To Assyria I returned the land Kusu from Egypt and I did not leave it for drinking. On the land Egypt I built it. The kings, governors, governors, officials, officials, and officials
I appointed the shappiru-priest to the new position. I established regular offerings for the god Ashur and the great gods, my lords. I imposed upon them tribute, tribute, and payment of my lordship, yearly, without interruption. I had a stele made of my name and the praise of the heroism of the god Ashur, my lord, and the might of my deeds, which I had accomplished with the support of the god Ashur, my lord, and the rejoicing of my hands, I wrote on it and for the tabrat of all enemies
In the future may he stand. Whoever removes this stele from its place, erases my inscribed name, erases his name, or throws it into the netherworld, or burns it with fire, or burns it with a new fire, or places it in an unseemly place, may the goddess Ishtar, mistress of battle and battle, make his name supreme and place it behind his enemy. The future prince may he not remove this stele.
May he find an inscribed object bearing my name, and then look at it in his presence, and may he drink it, make an offering, and accept the wording of the prayer of the god Ashur, my lord.
