The Book of the Dead in Ancient Egypt

One The dead rise up and sing the sun

Praise you, O La, for your astonishing ascent!

You rise, shine, and make the heavens roll aside.

You are the King of Gods and the Lord of all things.

We come from you and are sacred because of you.

Your priests come out at dawn to wash their hearts with laughter;

The divine wind carries music through your golden strings.

At sunset, they embrace you like every cloud

From your wings shines the colors reflected in the sky.

You have crossed the zenith, and your heart rejoices;

Your morning and evening boats are met with good winds;

In front of you, Maat holds high her fateful feather,

The halls of Anu roar with thy name.

O you perfect God, the eternal God, the only God!

The great eagle that flies with the rising sun!

On the green fig tree, your ever-young image

gleams across the middle of the river in heaven.

Your light illuminates every face, but no one knows it.

For thousands of years, you are the source of enthusiasm for new life.

Time stirs up dust under your feet, but you never change.

Creator of time, you transcend all time.

You pass through the door that is closed behind the night,

You make the soul lying in sorrow rejoice.

The truth of language, the tranquility of heart, stand up and drink your light,

Because you are yesterday, today and tomorrow.

Praise you, La, for awakening life from its lethargy!

You rise, shine, and show your glorious image.

Millions of years have passed, and we cannot count them all.

Millions of years are coming. , you shine for thousands of years!

Glory to Osiris, Prince of Eternity,

He who has passed through eons and entered eternity,

With South and North are his crowns, he is the master of gods and men,

Carrying the staff and whip of clemency and power.

O King of kings, prince of princes, master of masters,

The earth is springing back to life because of your enthusiasm;

You were and will be Your followers, you lead them,

Your heart rests contentedly on the top of the hidden mountains.

Your body shines, and your head is the blue sky.

The color of turquoise shines everywhere in the place where you are.

Your body is covered with breadth, and your face is radiant,

Like the fields and valleys of the world to come.

Please allow my spirit to persist on earth and triumph in eternity.
