Sarcophagus Chamber South Wall Translation Utterances 213-219 (west to east) Utterance 213 134: O Unas, you have not gone dead, you have gone alive to sit on the throne of Osiris. Your scepter is in your hand that you may give orders to the living, the handle of your lotus-shaped scepter in your hand. Give orders to those of the Mysterious Sites (the dead)! 135: Your arm is that of Atum, your shoulders are those of Atum, your belly is that of Atum, your back is that of Atum, your bottom is that of Atum, your two legs are those of Atum, your face is that of Anubis. The sites of Horus serve you, the sites of Seth serve you. Utterance 214 136: O Unas, beware of the Lake! To say four times: The messengers of your Ka have come to you, the messengers of your father have come to you, the messengers of Re have come to you. 137: Go after your sun! You are to purify yourself. Your bones are those of female hawks, the goddesses who are in heaven, so that you may be by the side of the god and leave your house to your son, your procreation. Everyone who shall speak evil against the name of Unas, 138: when you go up, is predestined by Geb to be a despised one of his city, (so that) he shall flee and falter. You are to purify yourself with the cool water of the stars, and you will climb down upon ropes of brass - on the arms of Horus, in his name He-of-the-Henu-Barge. 139: The (glorified) humanity bewail you after the Imperishable Stars have carried you. Enter, then, into the place where your father is, where Geb is! He gives you that which was on the brow of Horus, so that you become powerful and full of glory through it, so that you become the one at the head of the Westerners through it. Utterance 215 140: O Unas! Your messengers go, your heralds hurry to your father, to Atum. "Atum, let him rise to you, fold him in your arms! 141: There is no god, who has become a star, without a companion." "Shall I be your companion?" "Look at me! You have seen the forms of the children of their fathers, who know their spell, who are now Imperishable Stars". May you see the two inhabitants of the Palace - this is Horus and Seth! 142: May you bespit the face of Horus and remove his injury! May you catch the testicles of Seth and remove his mutilation! That one is born for you, this one is conceived for you. 143: You are born, O Horus, as the one whose name is He-before-Whom-the-Earth-Quakes: (you are conceived, Seth, as the one whose name is) He-before-Whom-the-Sky-Shakes. Such a one has no mutilation (Horus), such a one has no injury (Seth), such a one has no injury, such a one has no mutilation, (So) you have no injury, you have no mutilation. 144: You are born for Osiris, O Horus! You have become more glorious than he, You have become more powerful than he. 145: There is no seed of a god which has perished, neither (has he) who belongs to him. You will not perish, (you) who belongs to him. Re-Atum does not give you to Osiris, he does not reckon your heart, he has no power over your breast. Re-Atum does not give you to Osiris, he has no power over your breast. 146: Osiris, you cannot have power over him, your son cannot have power over him. Horus, you cannot have power over him, your father cannot have power over him. 147: You belong, O this one, to this god, as the Twins of Atum said: "Lift yourself up", so said they, "in your name God", and so you become Atum for every god. 148: Your head is that of Horus of the Duat, O Imperishable One, your brow is the One-with-the-Two-Eyes, O Imperishable One, your ears are the twins of Atum, O Imperishable One, your eyes are the twins of Atum, O Imperishable One, your nose is a jackal, O Imperishable One, your teeth are Sopdu, O Imperishable One: 149: your arms are Hapy and Dua-mutef, which you need to ascend to heaven, and you ascend, your legs are (those of) Imsety and Kebeh-senuf, which you need to descend to the lower sky, and you descend. All your members are the twins of Atum, O Imperishable One! You did not pass away, your Ka does not pass away. You are Ka! Utterance 216 150: To say: I have come to you, Nephthys, I have come to the Evening Barge, I have come to you, True-is-She-over-the-Red, I have come to...
