When Qingu was promoted and had received the Anu-Power(the power of the nucleus)
And had decreed destinies for the Gods (materials) His sons, He said,
"What issues forth from Your mouths shall quench fire!
Your accumulated vennom shall paralyse the powerful!'
I sent Anu(the nuclious), but He was unable to face Her.
Nudimmid(nu-di-mid,the nucleus of the materials) panicked and turned back.
Then Marduk(mardjou,the field), sage of the Gods(materials), Your descendant, came forward.
He wanted of His own free will to confront Tiamat (the cover).
He addressed His words to Me:
If indeed I am to be Your champion,
To defeat Tiamat (the cover) and save Your lives,
Convene the council (gather all together), name a special fate,
Sit joyfully together in Ubshu-ukkinakku:(hebsu-ukinaku,the place of creation)
My own utterance shall fix fate instead of You!
Whatever I create shall never be altered!
The decree from My lips shall never be revoked, never changed!'
Hurry and decree your destinies for Him quickly,
So that He may go and face Your formidable enemy!"
If indeed I am to be Your champion,
To defeat Tiamat (the cover) and save Your lives,
Convene the council (gather all together), name a special fate,
Sit joyfully together in Ubshu-ukkinakku:(hebsu-ukinaku,the place of creation)
My own utterance shall fix fate instead of You!
Whatever I create shall never be altered!
The decree from My lips shall never be revoked, never changed!'
Hurry and decree your destinies for Him quickly,
So that He may go and face Your formidable enemy!"
Lahmu and Lahamu (the united one) listened and cried out aloud.
All the Igigi (ijiji,the electrons)then groaned dreadfully,
"How terrible! Until Anshar decided to report to Us,
We did not even know what Tiamat(the cover) was doing."
They milled around and then came,
All the Great Gods(materials) who fix fates,
Entered into Anshar's presence and were filled with joy.
Each kissed the other(touched the other making the first explosion). In the assembly
There was conversation, They sat at the banquet
Ate grain, drank choice wine,
Let sweet beer(the wine products) trickle through Their drinking straws.
Their bodies swelled as They drank the liquor;
They became very carefree, They were merry,
And They decreed destiny for Marduk (mardjou,the electro magnetic feild)Their champion.
TABLET VI
When Marduk(mardjou,the magnetic feild) heard the speech of the Gods (the elements, materials) ,
He made up His mind to perform miracles.
He spoke His utterance to Ea(haya,the life and first hydrogen),
And communicated to Him the plan that He was considering.
"Let me put blood (dam, blood or, tam clay )together, and make bones too (skeleton construction).
Let me set up primeval man (one): Man(one) shall be his name.
Let me create a primeval man (one).
the work of the Gods(materials) shall be imposed on him, and so They shall be at leisure.
Let Me change the ways of the Gods (materials) miraculously,
Ea (haya, life or first hydrogen) answered Him and spoke a word to Him, Marduk(mardjou,the field , the electro-magnetic feild ) assembled the Great Gods(materials),
The king (ruler) addressed His words to the Anunnaki(anu-naki,the pure nuclious nutrones), The Igigi(the electrons ,igigi fire), the Great Gods(materials), answered Him, He created Mankind (or planets) from His blood(dam = blood ,or tam = clay ),
When He had directed all the decrees, When Marduk(mardjou,the electro magnetic field) heard this, The Anunnaki(anu-naki,the pure nuclious protons) began shoveling. When They had done the word on Esagila(es-sikala the spherical shape), The Great Gods(materials, elements) sat down there, The Lord received the Bow (the weapon of firing arrows), and set His weapon down in front of Them. The Great Gods assembled Anshar( an-shar,the nucleus the base) gave Him another Name: Asarluhi(ashar-lu-hi,the living lightning rays). Let Him designate the black headed people(people or planets) to revere Him, Anshar(the first nucleus), Lahmu, and Lahamu (the first mixture of universe) called His three Names; In Ubshu-ukkinakku (hbsu-ukinakku, in the place of creation) They deliberated Their counsel(gathering). TABLET VII With fifty epithets the Great Gods(materials, elements) May His country be made fertile, and Himself be safe and sound. (Signature of the Scribe of the Seven Tablets): He (the scribe) wrote down the secret instruction which older men had recited in his presence, In the end of this epic we can see that the humans used to know every details of the atom and they wrote this epic in order to explain the creation of the universe in details , but those who didn't understand this meaning (in the generations that came after ) have changed the real meaning to become an epic of virtual gods , fighting together to create this universe !!!!!
So They are gathered as One, yet divided in two."( this is the first cell, and reformation in the universe)
Told Him His plan for the leisure of the Gods(materials).
"Let one who is hostile to Them be surrendered,
Let Him be destroyed, and let people(life, or planets) be created.
Let the Great Gods(materials) assemble,
Let the culprit be given up, and let Them convict Him."
Gave instructions pleasantly, gave orders.
The Gods(materials) paid attention to what He said.
"Your election of Me shall be firm and foremost.
I shall declare the laws, the edicts within My power.
Whosoever started the war,
And incited Tiamat(the cover), and gathered and army,
Let the one who started the war be given up to me,
And He shall bear the penalty for His crime, that You may dwell in peace."(and stable state)
Their Lord Lugal-Dimmer-Ankia(l-ugal-d-imir-ankia,the great imperor of ankia-the pure neutrons), counselor of Gods(materials),
"It was Qingu(kin-jaou,the creature of air) who started the war,
He who incited Tiamat(the cover) and gathered an army!"
They bound Him and hled Him in front of Ea(haya,the life and first hydrogen hy-dro-gen the genetic atom of life),
Imposed the penalty on Him and cut off His blood(dam or tam ,his atom the complete part of him atam).
Imposed the toil of the Gods(materials) on man (planets) and released the Gods( the elements) from it.
When Ea (haya, the life and first hydrogen )the wise had created mankind,
Had imposed the toil of the Gods(elements-materials) on them-
That deed is impossible to describe,
For Nudimmud(nu-di-mid,the nucleus of elements) performed it with the miracles of Mrduk(mardjou,the field)-
Then Marduk the king divided the Gods(elements and materials),
The Anunnaki(anu-naki,the nucleus of pure that is the neutrons), all of Them, above and below(every here).
He assigned His deccrees to Anu (anu,the nucleus) to guard,
Established three hundred as a guard in the sky(atmosphere of elements);
Did the same again when He designed the conventions of earth,
And made the six hundred dwell in both heaven and earth.
Had divided lots for the Anunnaki(anu-naki,the pure nucleus), of heaven and of earth,
The Anunnaki (the pure nuclious)made Their voices heard
And addressed Marduk(madjou,the feild) Their Lord,
"Now, O Lord, that You have set Us free,
What are our favors from You?
We would like to make a shrine(center place) with it's own name.
We would like Our night's resting place to be in Your private quarters, and to rest there.
Let Us found a shrine, a sanctuary there.
Whenever We arrive, let Us rest within it."
His face lit up greatly, like daylight.
"Create Babylon (Babb Ilion, the place of high, the upper highest place), whose construction You requested!
Let it's mud bricks be moulded, and build high the shrine!"
For a whole year They made bricks for it.
When the second year arrived,
They had raised the top of Esagila (es-sikala,the scale and top and the port)in front of the Apsu (hebsu,the one imprisoned inside).
They founded a dwelling for Anu (anu,the nucleus), Enlil(an-lil,the spherical shape of the nucleus), and Ea(haya,life and first hydrogen) likewise.
In ascendancy He settled Himself in front of Them (the higher one is the lightest one i.e. the magnetic feild),
And His horns look down at the base of Esharra(e-shara,the terra thara the ground).
And the Anunnaki(anu-naki,the pure nucleus), all of Them, had fashioned their individual shrines(places in this formation),
The three hundred Igigi(ijiji,electrones that run around) of heaven (of the above and outer place) and the Anunnaki (anu-naki,the pure nuclious protons) of the Apsu (hepsu,the imprisoned one inside) all assembled.
The Lord invited the Gods(materials, elements) His fathers to attend a banquet(gathering)
In the great sanctuary which He had created as His dwelling.
"Indeed, Bab-ili is Your home as well!
Sing for joy there, dwell in happiness!"
And set out the beer mugs; They attended the banquet.
When They had made merry within,
They Themselves made a taqribtu-offering(takribu,means near and means giving) in splended Esagila(es-sakala,the spherical splendid shape and the ports).
All the decrees and designs were fixed.
All the Gods(materials, elements) divided the stations of heaven and earth.
The fifty Great Gods(elements, materials) were present, and
The Gods(materials) fixed the Seven Destinies for the cult(that is a shape like our solar system but this is about all universe).
The Gods(materials, elements) His fathers looked at the net which He had made,
Looked at the Bow, how miraculous Her construction,
And His fathers praised the deeds that He had done.
Anu(anu,the one as nucleus) raised the Bow and spoke in the assembly of Gods(materials, elements),
He kissed the Bow. "May She go far!"
He gave to the Bow Her Names, saying,
"May Long and Far be the first, and Victorious the second;(the arrow that travels across all universe )
Her third Name shall be Bowstar, for She shall shine in the sky(this is like tha rays comes from the suns)."
He fixed Her position among the Gods(materials) Her companions.
When Anu (anu,the nucleus)had decreed the destiny of the Bow,
He set down Her royal throne. "You are the highest of the Gods!"(elements)
And Anu(anu,the nucleus) made Her sit in the assembly of the Gods(elements).
And made Marduk's(mardjou,the electro magnetic field ) destiny highest(means higher than suns); They Themselves did obeisance.
They swore an oath for Themselves,
And swore on water and oil, touched Their throats.
Thus They granted that He should exercise the kingship of the Gods(elements)
And confirmed for Him mastery of the Gods(elements) of heaven and earth.
"At the mention of His Name We shall bow down!
The Gods(materials, elements) are to pay heed to what He says:
His command is to have priority above and below.
The Son who avenged us shall be the highest!(lightest in weight)
His rule shall have priority; let Him have no rival!
Let Him act as shepherd over the black-headed people(all the planets), His creation.
Let His way be proclaimed in future days, never forgotten.
He shall establish great nindabu-offerings for His fathers.
He shall take care of Them, He shall look after Their shrines( fix each in his place).
He shall let Them smell the qutrinnu-offering(spherical shape qutri), and make Their chant joyful.
Let Him breath on earth as freely as He always does in heaven.
That mankind(all universe) may be mindful of Him, and name Him as their God(ruler).
Let their Goddess(elements) pay attention when He opens His mouth.
Let nindabu-offerings be brought to their God(material) and their Goddess(elements).
Let Them never be forgotten! Let them cleave to their God(ruler).
Let them keep their country pre-eminent, and always build shrines.
Though the black-headed people share out the Gods(materials, elements),
As for Us, no matter by which Name We call Him, He shall be Our God(ruler).
Come, let Us call Him by His fifty Names!(fifty meanings of what he can do)
His ways shall be proclaimed, and His deeds likewise!
Marduk (mardjou,the feild), whose grandfather Anu (the nuclious) deisgnated Him at the moment of His birth,
To be in charge of pasturage and watering places, to enrich their stalls,
Who overwhelmed the riotous ones with His flood-weapon
And saved the Gods(materials) His fathers from hardship(tiamat,the cover).
Let the Son, Majesty of the Gods(elements) be His Name!
In His bright Light may they walk forever more:
The people (or elements or planets)whom He created, the form of life that breathes.
He imposed the work of the Gods(materials) on them so that They might rest(be stable).
Creation and abolition, forgiveness and punishment-
Such are at His disposal, so let them look to Him.
They pronounced Them to the Gods(elements) their sons,
"We have given Him each of these three Names.
Now you, pronounce His Names as We did!"
"Let Us elevate the Name of the son, the warrior,
Our champion who looks after us!"
They sat in their assembly and began to call out the destinies,
Pronounced His Name in all their rites.
Called His fifty Names, making His way supreme.
May They always be cherished, and may the older explain to the younger.
Let the wise and learned consult together,
Let the father repeat Them and teach Them to the son.
Let the ear of the shepherd and herdsman be open,
Let him not be negligent to Marduk (mardjou=the electro-magnetic feild), the Enlil(en-lil=the spherical shape) of the Gods(materials ,elements).
His word is firm, His command cannot alter;
No God(element) can change His utterance.
When He is angry, He does not turn His neck aside (being he is formed of light);
In His rage and fury no God(element) dare confront Him.
His thoughts are deep, His emotions profound;
Criminals and wrongdoers pass before Him.
And set it down for future men to read.
May the peoples(creatures) of Marduk(mardjou,the field) whom the Igigi(electrons) Gods(elements) created
Weave the tale and call upon His Name
In remembrance of the song of Marduk( the feild )
Who defeated Tiamat( the cover of universe) and took kingship.
