Chapter CXXXIV

C1hapter whereby the Deceased acquireth might.

2Hail to thee who art in the midst of thine Ark, Oh rising Sun who risest, and declining one who declinest: at whose will millions spring forth, as he turneth his face to the unborn generations of men: Chepera in the middle of his Bark, who overthroweth Apepi.

3Here are the children of Seb who overthrow the adversaries of Osiris and destroy them from the Bark of Rā.

4Horus cutteth off their heads in heaven when in the forms of winged fowl, their hinder parts on earth when in the forms of quadrupeds or [in the water] as fishes.

5All fiends, male or female, the Osiris N destroyeth them, whether descending from heaven or coming forth upon the earth, or issuing out of the water or travelling along with the Stars.

6Thoth slaughtereth them, the Son of the Rock, proceeding from the place of the Two Rocks.

7The Osiris N is dumb and deaf for the Strong one is Rā, the puissant of stroke, the Almighty one, who washeth in their blood and walloweth in their gore.

8The Osiris N destroyeth them from the Bark of his father Rā.

9The Osiris N is Horus: his mother Isis bringeth him forth, and Nephthys nurseth him, as they did to Horus, who repelleth the dark ones of Sutu: who, when they see the Crown fixed upon his brow, fall upon their faces.

10Osiris Unneferu is triumphant over his adversaries in heaven and on earth, and in the cycle of each god and goddess.

11Said over a Hawk in a Boat, with the White Crown upon its head, and the figure of Tmu, Shu, Tefnut, Seb, Nut, Osiris, Isis, Sutu, Nephthys, painted yellowish green on a fresh papyrus placed in this Boat, together with the figure of the Deceased, anointed with the Heknu oil. Let there be offered to them incense burning and roast fowl. It is the adoration of Rā, and his voyage, for it is granted to him to make his appearance each day with Rā, whithersoever he journeyeth; and it is the Slaughter of the adversaries of Rā; positively and undeviatingly for times infinite.
