Chapter II

1 Worship of the Spheric Gods, when Rā sets in life. Hail, gods of
the spheres, gods who are in the Ament, perfect gods ...(626) the
enemies of Rā, you make the universal covering(627) grow ...(628)
you worship the god who is in his disk ...(629) thou commandest
thy enemies, great god who art upon the horizon; four times. Thou
commandest thy enemies, Osiris Temt; four times.

2 The royal Osiris commands his enemies in heaven and upon earth,
by authority of all the gods and all the goddesses, by authority
of Osiris Chentament, because the royal Osiris is Rā himself, the
great inhabitant of the heavens, he speaks in the presence of
Ament. The King governs by favor of the great powers. The royal
Osiris is pure, what is in him is pure, the royal Osiris governs
the two worlds, the royal Osiris commands his enemies; four times.

3 He is powerful, Rā in the empyrean, he is powerful, Rā in the
empyrean. He traverses the empyrean with joy, for he has struck
Apap;(630) there is joy for thee, god of the horizon, Osiris, King
of the Ament, there is joy for thy triumphant spirit, for thou
destroyest his enemies; thou art delighted, Tesherti, red spirit
who openest the Ament. Thou givest thy hand to Osiris, thou art
received in the good Ament, and the gods rejoice over thee. Osiris
gives thee his hand, thou art received by Chentament. He is
brilliant, the spirit of Rā in the empyrean, he is brilliant, the
body of Teb Temt. Rā commands in the empyrean, because he has
struck Apap. Teb Temt commands; he worships the spirit of the two
horizons; the spirit of the two horizons worships him.

4 The royal Osiris receives dominion over his enemies from the
great powers of the mysterious avenger, he who reveals the
mysterious empyrean, who dissipates the darkness, who chases away
the rain, he who hurries, and who makes the blessed servants of Rā
come forth. He(631) sees the body of the god when he assumes forms
with a mysterious name, when he sheds his rays in obscurity, and
when he hides the uncovered bodies; when he traverses the
mysterious spheres and when he gives eyes to their gods; they
themselves see him, and their spirits are blessed.

5 Hail, Rā! give eyes to the royal Osiris, give him divine
eyeballs, and may they guide the royal Osiris. Hail, Rā! give a
heart to the royal Osiris; he traverses the earth, he traverses
the world like Rā.

6 Thou takest care that what thou commandest to exist, exists;
thou rulest the royal Osiris like Chuti(632) and the King honors
thy spirit, he glorifies thee.

7 Thou commandest Osiris to be like Khuti, the brilliant triangle
which appears in the shining place.

8 Thou commandest Osiris to be like the mysterious spirit which
comes forth from the mysterious place.

9 Thou commandest Osiris to be like the blessed spirit which comes
forth from the blessed place.

10 Thou commandest Osiris to be like the destructive spirit which
comes forth from the place of destruction.

11 Thou commandest Osiris to be like the revealing spirit which
comes forth from the opening.

12 Thou commandest Osiris to be like the elevated spirit which
comes forth from the high place.

13 Thou commandest Osiris to be like the hidden spirit which comes
forth from the Ament.

14 Deliver him from the crocodiles which frighten the spirits,
like geese; let them not do their work upon the royal Osiris, in
the presence of the gods armed with swords; may Osiris never fall
into their furnaces, may their nets never entangle him; his spirit
flies away and soars into the heavens, his spirit returns and
enters into the empyrean, because the royal Osiris knows the
mysteries which are in the empyrean, the secret forms of Osiris,
that none of his servants know, in the secret of his hidden
dwelling. Hail! the royal Osiris knows thy form, great and
mysterious god.

15 Deliver the royal Osiris from the agile demons furnished with
legs, from the cruel gods who pluck out hearts and who throw them
into their furnaces. May they never do their work upon the royal
Osiris, may they never put him in their furnaces, because Osiris
is Rā; and reciprocally. His soul is that which is in the disk.
His body is in the middle of the hidden gods; they make Osiris
rule, Osiris makes them rule; he commands, and he rests as you
rest in the Ament.

16 The soul of Rā shines in his shape, his body rests amid the
invocations which are addressed to him; he enters into the
interior of his white disk, he lights the empyrean with his rays,
he creates it, he makes the souls remain in their bodies, they
praise him from the height of their pedestal. He receives the
acclamations of all the gods who open the doors, the hidden
essences who prepare the way for Rā’s soul, and who allow the King
of souls access to the fields. He traverses his disk himself; he
calls (to life) the body of Kat;(633) he places the gods of the
stars upon their legs; these latter make the god An(634) come at
their hours; the two sisters join themselves to him, they decorate
his head, as a spirit worthy of adornment.

17 O, Rā, place the royal Osiris in thy train; he is the divine
key which opens his haunts, he knows admirable means of obtaining
the great victory over his enemies; Osiris is powerful through thy
two eyes; walking god, the course of Osiris is thy course. Rā, the
journeys of Osiris are thy journeys, Osiris makes thee rule over
thy enemies, thou makest Osiris rule over his enemies, by means of
the great splendor which is the splendor of Rā in the empyrean,
they cry to him: Bull of the country of the dead, thou art Rā, thy
body rests in peace, thou art blessed in thy mysteries.
