(gods in blue)
1-11 When, upon the hill of heaven and earth,
An (Anu, King of planet Nibiru & Earth Colony) spawned the Anuna (alien giant Aninnaki) gods,
since he neither spawned nor created Grain (Nisaba) with them,
and since in the Land he neither fashioned the yarn of Uttu (the Goddess of Weaving)
(Uttu, Enki‘s daughter, Goddess of Weaving)
nor pegged out the loom for Uttu —
with no Sheep appearing, there were no numerous lambs,
and with no goats, there were no numerous kids, the sheep did not give birth to her twin lambs,
and the goat did not give birth to her triplet kids; the Anuna, the great gods,
did not even know the names Ezina–Kusu (Grain) or Sheep (unidentified goddess).
12-25 There was no muc grain of thirty days; there was no muc grain of forty days;
there was no muc grain of fifty days;
there was no small grain, grain from the mountains or grain from the holy habitations.
(Uttu & helper spinning yarn)
There was no cloth to wear; Uttu had not been born — no royal turban was worn;
lord Nijir-si (Ninurta), the precious lord, had not been born;
Cakkan (God of 4-legged Animals) had not gone out into the barren lands.
(earthling wild being found by Enki in the Abzu Enki with his DNA experiments attempting to fashion replacement workers)
The people of those days did not know about eating bread.
They did not know about wearing clothes; they went about with naked limbs in the Land.
Like sheep they ate grass with their mouths and drank water from the ditches.
26-36 At that time, at the place of the gods’ formation,
in their own home, on the Holy Mound, they created Sheep and Grain.
Having gathered them in the divine banqueting chamber,
(Anunnaki alien giants standing upon their symbols, zodiac symbols, etc.)
the Anuna gods of the Holy Mound partook of the bounty of Sheep and Grain but were not sated;
the Anuna gods of the Holy Mound partook of the sweet milk of their holy sheepfold but were not sated.
For their own well-being in the holy sheepfold, they gave them to mankind as sustenance.
37-42 At that time Enki spoke to Enlil: “Father Enlil,
now Sheep and Grain have been created (brought to Earth from Nibiru),
on the Holy Mound let us send them down from the Holy Mound.”
Enki and Enlil, having spoken their holy word, sent Sheep and Grain down from the Holy Mound.
43-53 Sheep being fenced in by her sheepfold, they gave her grass and herbs generously.
(early farming on Earth Colony)
For Grain (Nisaba) they made her field and gave her the plow, yoke and team.
Sheep (unidentified goddess) standing in her sheepfold
was a shepherd of the sheepfolds brimming with charm.
Grain standing in her furrow was a beautiful girl radiating charm;
lifting her raised head up from the field she was suffused with the bounty of heaven.
Sheep and Grain had a radiant (female alien) appearance.
54-64 They brought wealth to the assembly.
They brought sustenance to the Land.
They fulfilled the ordinances of the gods.
They filled the store-rooms of the Land with stock.
The barns of the Land were heavy with them.
When they entered the homes of the poor who crouch in the dust they brought wealth.
Both of them, wherever they directed their steps, added to the riches of the household with their weight.
Where they stood, they were satisfying; where they settled, they were seemly.
They gladdened the heart of An and the heart of Enlil.
65-70 They drank sweet wine, they enjoyed sweet beer.
When they had drunk sweet wine and enjoyed sweet beer,
they started a quarrel concerning the arable fields, they began a debate in the dining hall.
71-82 Grain called out to Sheep: “Sister, I am your better; I take precedence over you.
I am the glory of the lights of the Land.
(Inanna, Goddess of Love & War)
I grant my power to the sajursaj (a member of the cultic personnel of Inanna) —
he fills the palace with awe and people spread his fame to the borders of the Land.
I am the gift of the Anuna gods. I am central to all princes.
After I have conferred my power on the warrior,
when he goes to war he knows no fear, he knows no faltering (?) —
I make him leave …… as if to the playing field.
83-91 “I foster neighborliness and friendliness.
I sort out quarrels started between neighbors.
When I come upon a captive youth and give him his destiny,
he forgets his despondent heart and I release his fetters and shackles.
I am Ezina–Kusu (Grain) ; I am Enlil‘s daughter.
In sheep shacks and milking pens scattered on the high plain, what can you put against me?
Answer me what you can reply!”
92-101 Thereupon Sheep answered Grain: “My sister, whatever are you saying?
(An / Anu, King of planet Nibiru & Earth Colony, god the father in heaven)
An, king of the gods, made me descend from the holy place, my most precious place.
All the yarns of Uttu, the splendor of kingship, belong to me.
Cakkan, (God of 4-legged Animals) king of the mountain,
embosses the king’s emblems and puts his implements in order.
He twists a giant rope against the great peaks of the rebel land.
He …… the slig, the quiver and the longbows.
102-106 “The watch over the elite troops is mine.
Sustenance of the workers in the field is mine: the waterskin of cool water and the sandals are mine.
Sweet oil, the fragrance of the gods, mixed (?) oil,
pressed oil, aromatic oil, cedar oil for offerings are mine.
107-115 “In the gown, my cloth of white wool, the king rejoices on his throne.
My body glistens on the flesh of the great gods.
After the purification priests, the incantation priests and the bathed priests
have dressed themselves in me for my holy lustration, I walk with them to my holy meal.
But your harrow, plowshare, binding and strap are tools that can be utterly destroyed.
What can you put against me? Answer me what you can reply!”
116-122 Again Grain addressed Sheep:
“When the beer dough has been carefully prepared in the oven, and the mash tended in the oven,
(Ninkasi, Enki‘s daughter, the very popular giant alien Goddess of Beer)
Ninkasi (Goddess of Beer) mixes them for me
while your big billy-goats and rams are dispatched for my banquets.
On their thick legs they are made to stand separate from my produce.
123-129 “Your shepherd on the high plain eyes my produce enviously;
when I am standing in the furrow in the field,
my farmer chases away your herdsman with his cudgel.
Even when they look out for you, from the open country to the hidden places,
your fears are not removed from you: fanged (?) snakes and bandits,
the creatures of the desert, want your life on the high plain.
130-142 “Every night your count is made and your tally-stick put into the ground,
so your herdsman can tell people how many ewes there are
and how many young lambs, and how many goats and how many young kids.
When gentle winds blow through the city and strong winds scatter, they build a milking pen for you;
but when gentle winds blow through the city and strong winds scatter,
(Adad / Ishkur, Enlil‘s son, giant alien God of Thunder & Storms, Adad upon his zodiac symbol Taurus the Bull)
I stand up as an equal to Ickur (Ishkur / Adad) (the god of storms) .
I am Grain, I am born for the warrior — I do not give up.
The churn, the vat on legs (?), the adornments of shepherding, make up your properties.
What can you put against me?
Answer me what you can reply!”
143-155 Again Sheep answered Grain:
“You, like holy Inanna of heaven, love horses.
(Inanna, alien Goddess of Love & War; earthlings no match for giant alien gods Utu & Inanna)
When a banished enemy, a slave from the mountains or a laborer
with a poor wife and small children comes, bound with his rope of one cubit,
to the threshing-floor or is taken away from (?) the threshing-floor,
when his cudgel pounds your face, pounds your mouth, as a pestle (?) …… your ears (?) …….
and you are …… around by the south wind and the north wind.
The mortar …….
As if it were pumice (?) it makes your body into flour.
156-168 “When you fill the trough the baker’s assistant mixes you
and throws you on the floor, and the baker’s girl flattens you out broadly.
You are put into the oven and you are taken out of the oven.
When you are put on the table I am before you — you are behind me.
Grain, heed yourself!
You too, just like me, are meant to be eaten.
At the inspection of your essence, why should it be I who come second?
Is the miller not evil? What can you put against me? Answer me what you can reply!”
169-179 Then Grain was hurt in her pride, and hastened for the verdict.
(Ishkur / Adad, these ancient artifacts are now shamefully destroyed by Radical Islam)
Grain answered Sheep: “As for you, Ickur is your master,
Cakkan your herdsman, and the dry land your bed.
Like fire beaten down (?) in houses and in fields,
like small flying birds chased from the door of a house,
you are turned into the lame and the weak of the Land.
Should I really bow my neck before you?
You are distributed into various measuring-containers.
When your innards are taken away by the people in the market-place,
and when your neck is wrapped with your very own loincloth,
one man says to another: “Fill the measuring-container with grain for my ewe!”.”
(giant Anunnaki gods feasting & drinking)
180-191 Then Enki spoke to Enlil:
“Father Enlil, Sheep and Grain should be sisters!
They should stand together!
Of their threefold metal …… shall not cease.
But of the two, Grain (Nisaba, Enlil’s mother-in-law) shall be the greater.
Let Sheep (unidentified goddess) fall on her knees before Grain.
Let her kiss the feet of …….
From sunrise till sunset, may the name of Grain be praised.
(earthlings taught to farm by & for the gods)
People should submit to the yoke of Grain.
Whoever has silver, whoever has jewels, whoever has cattle,
whoever has sheep shall take a seat at the gate of whoever has grain, and pass his time there.”
192-193 Dispute spoken between Sheep and Grain:
(Enki, Anu‘s eldest & wisest son, 1st to arrive on Earth, replaced by Enlil on being Anu‘s heir)
Sheep is left behind and Grain comes forward — praise be to father Enki!
