Speaker 1 (00:00):
Section five of the Babylonian Story of the Deluge and
the Epic of Gilgamesh, with an account of the Royal
Libraries of Nineveh by E. A. Wallace Budge. This LibriVox
recording is in the public domain. The Babylonian legend of
the delugees told to the hero Gilgamesh by his ancestor
(00:21):
utto Napishtim, who had been made immortal by the gods.
The form of the legend of the deluge given below
is that which is found on the eleventh of the
series of twelve tablets in the library of Nebo at Nineveh,
which described the life and exploits of Gilgamesh, an early
(00:42):
king of the city of Erech. As we have seen above,
the legend of the Deluge has in reality no connection
with the Epic of Gilgamesh, but was introduced into it
by the editors of the epic at a comparatively late period,
perhaps even during the reign of Ashur Banipal PC six
(01:03):
hundred sixty eight to six hundred twenty six. A summary
of the contents of the other tablets of the Gilgamesh
series is given in the following section of this short monograph.
It is therefore only necessary to state here that Kilgamesh
was horrified and almost beside himself when his bosom friend
(01:24):
and companion Ankidu a Bani died, meditated deeply how he
could escape death himself. He knew that his ancestor Utah
napish Team had become immortal. Therefore he determined to set
out for the place where Utan Napishtim lived, so that
(01:45):
he might obtain from him the secret of immortality. Guided
by a dream in which he saw the direction of
the place where Utan Napishtim lived, Kilgamesh set out for
the mountain of the Sunset, and after a great toil
many difficulties, came to the shore of a vast sea.
Here he met Urshannabie, the boatman of Utannapish Steem, who
(02:10):
was persuaded to carry him in his boat over the
quote waters of death end quote, and at length he
landed on the shore of the country of Utaannapish Steam.
The immortal came down to the shore and asked the
newcomer the object of his visit, and Gilgamesh told him
of the death of his great friend and Kidou, and
(02:32):
of his desire to escape from death and to find immortality.
Utah Napishteem, having made to Gilgamesh some remarks which seemed
to indicate that, in his opinion, death was inevitable. Quote
Gilgamesh said, unto utannapish Steam to utan napish steem, the
remote I am looking at thee Uta napish Steem, thy
(02:57):
person is not altered, even as am I so art
thou Verily, nothing about thee is changed, Even as am
I so art Thou moved, is my heart to do battle?
But thou art at leisure and dost lie upon thy back.
How then wast thou able to enter the company of
(03:21):
the gods and see life? Thereupon Utan n Apieshtem related
to Gilgamesh. The story of the Deluge and the Eleventh
Table continues thus quote wutann Apieshteem said unto him to Gilgamesh,
I will reveal unto thee O Gilgamesh, a hidden mystery
(03:44):
and a secret matter of the gods. I will declare
unto thee shirupak As city which thou thyself knowest on
the bank of the river Purati Euphrates is situated. That
city was old, and the gods dwelling within it their
hearts induced the great gods to make a windstorm. Abu
(04:06):
b their father, Anu, their counselor the warrior Enlil, their
messenger and Urta, and their prince and Nogi nin Igi.
Azag Aya was with them in council and reported their
words to the House of reeds. First speech of Aya
(04:27):
to utan Apishtim, who is sleeping in a reed hut
Oh house of reeds, Oh house of reeds, oh wal,
oh wal, Oh house of reeds, here oh wal understand, oh,
men of Shirupak, son of Ubaratutu. Throw down the house,
(04:48):
build a ship. Forsake wealth, seek after life, abandoned possessions,
Save thy life. Carry grain of every kind into the ship.
The ship which thou shalt build. The dimensions thereof shall
be measured the breadth and the length thereof shall be
the same ellipses the ocean provided with a roof. Would
(05:12):
the nuppish Teem's answer to Aia, I understood, and I said,
unto Aia, my Lord, I comprehend, my Lord, that which
thou hast ordered. I will regard it with great reverence
and will perform it. But what shall I say to
the town, to the multitude and to the elders. Second
(05:33):
speech of aa Aa opened his mouth and spake and said,
unto his servant myself, Ellipses, Thus shalt thou say unto them?
Ill will hath the God and Lil formed against me.
Therefore I can no longer dwell in your city, and
(05:55):
never more will I turn my countenance upon the soil
of en Lil. I will descend into the ocean to
dwell with my lord Aia. But upon you he will
rain riches, a catch of birds, a catch of fish, Ellipses,
an abundant harvest. Ellipses, the prince question mark of the
(06:18):
darkness Ellipses shall make a violent cyclone to fall upon
you the building of the ship. As soon as the
dawn broke, Ellipses lines forty nine two fifty four broken away.
The weak man Ellipses brought bitumen. The strong man Ellipses
(06:42):
brought what was needed. On the fifth day, I decided
upon its plan. According to the plan, its walls were
ten ghar i e One hundred twenty kibbits high, and
the circuit of the roof thereof was equally ten ghar.
I measured out the hall thereof and marked it out.
(07:03):
Question Mark I covered question mark it six times. Its
exterior I divided into seven. Its interior I divided into
nine water bolts. I drove into the middle of it.
I provided a steering pole and fixed what was needful
for it. Six sar of bitumen I poured over the
(07:26):
inside wall. Three sar of pitch I poured into the inside.
The men who bare loads brought three sar of oil,
besides a sar of oil which the offering consumed, and
two sar of oil which the boatmen hid. I slaughtered
oxen for the work people. I slew sheep every day, beer, sesame, wine,
(07:51):
oil and wine. I made the people drink as if
they were water from the river. I celebrated a feast
day as if it had been New Year's Day. I
opened a box of ointment. I laid my hands in anguent.
Before the sunset, the ship was finished. Since Ellipses was difficult,
(08:13):
the shipbuilders brought the ellipses of the ship above and
below Ellipses two thirds of it. The loading of the
ship with everything that I possessed, I loaded it. I
e the ship with everything that I possessed of silver.
I loaded it with everything that I possessed of gold.
(08:35):
I loaded it with all that I possessed of living grain.
I loaded it. I made to go up into the ship.
All my family and kinsfolk, the cattle of the field,
the beasts of the field, all handicrafts men. I made
them go up into it. The god Shamash had appointed
me a time, saying, the power of darkness will at
(08:58):
eventide make a rain flood to fall. Then enter into
the ship and shut thy door. The appointed time drew nigh,
the power of darkness made a rain flood to fall
at eventide. I watched the coming of the approaching storm.
When I saw it, terror possessed me. I went into
(09:19):
the ship and shut my door. To the pallet of
the ship Puser bell or pusor Amuri the sailor. I
committed the great house I e ship, together with the
contents thereof the Abubu cyclone and its effects described. As
(09:39):
soon as the gleam of dawn shone in the sky,
a black cloud from the foundation of heaven came up
inside it. The god adad Ramanu thundered. The gods Nabu
and Shahru I I Marduk went before marching as messengers
over high land and then plain iragal Nergal tore out
(10:04):
the post of the ship, and Urta Ninib went on.
He made the storm to descend. The Anonaki brandished their
torches with their glare. They lighted up the land. The
whirlwind or cyclone of Adad swept up to heaven. Every
(10:27):
gleam of light was turned into darkness. Ellipses, the land Ellipses,
as if Ellipses had laid it waste. A whole day long.
The flood descended Ellipses. Swiftly it mounted up Ellipses. The
(10:47):
water reached to the mountains. The water attacked the people
like a battle. Brother saw not brother. Men could not
be known or recognized in heaven. The gods were terrified
at the cyclone. They betook themselves to flight and went
(11:08):
up into the heaven of Anu. The gods crouched like
a dog and cowered by the wall. The goddess Ishtar
cried out like a woman in travail. The lady of
the gods lamented with a loud voice, saying, Ishtar's lament. Verily,
(11:29):
the former dispensation is turned into mud because I commanded
evil among the company of the gods. When I commanded
evil among the company of the gods. I commanded battle
for the destruction of my people. Did I of myself
bring forth my people that they might feel the seas
(11:49):
like little fishes. Uttan A Pishtem's story continued. The gods
of the Anunnaki wailed with her. The gods bowed themselves
and sat down and wept. Their lips were shut tight
in distress ellipses. For six days and nights, the storm raged,
(12:11):
and the cyclone overwhelmed the land. The abating of the storm.
When the seventh day approached, the cyclone and the raging
flood ceased. Now it had fought like an army. The
sea became quiet and went down, and the cyclone and
the rain storm ceased. I looked over the sea, and
(12:34):
a calm had come, and all mankind were turned into mud.
The land had been laid flat like a terrace. I
opened the air hole and the light fell upon my face.
I bowed myself, I sat down, I cried. My tears
poured down over my cheeks. I looked over the quarters
(12:57):
of the world opened sea. After twelve days a n
island appeared. The ship took its course to the land
of Nisir. The mountain of Nisir held the ship. It
let it not move the first day. The second day,
the mountain of Nisir held the ship and let it
(13:20):
not move. The third day, the fourth day, the mountain
of Nisir held the ship and let it not move.
The fifth day, the sixth day, the mountain of Nisir
held the ship and let it not move. When the
seventh day had come, I brought out a dove and
(13:41):
let her go free. The dove flew away and then
came back. Because she had no place to alight on,
she came back. I brought out a swallow and let
her go free. The swallow flew away and then came back.
Because she had no place to alight on. She came back.
(14:03):
I brought out a raven and let her go free.
The raven flew away. She saw the sinking waters. She ate,
She pecked in the ground, She croaked. She came not back.
Utan napishtem leaves the ship. Then I brought out everything
(14:23):
to the four winds and offered up a sacrifice. I
poured out a libation on the peak of the mountain
seven by seven. I set out the vessels under them.
I piled reeds, setter wood, and myrtle question mark the
gods smelt the safer, The gods smelt the sweet savor.
(14:46):
The gods gathered together like flies over him. That sacrificed
speech of Ishtar, Lady of the gods. Now, when the
Lady of the gods came nigh, she lifted up the
priceless jewels which Anu had made according to her desire, saying, ye, Gods,
(15:06):
here present, as I shall never forget the lapis lazily
jewels on my neck, So shall I ever think about
these days and shall forget them never more. Let the
gods come to the offering. But let not Enlil come
to the offering, because he would not accept counsel and
(15:28):
made the cyclone and delivered my people over to destruction.
The anger of enlil Bell. Now, when Enlil came nigh
he saw the ship. Then was Enlil wrath, and he
was filled with anger against the gods, the Igigi, saying,
(15:49):
what kind of a being hath escaped with his life?
He shall not remain alive a man among the destruction
speech of n Urte. Then an Urta opened his mouth
and spake and said, unto the warrior and lil Bell,
(16:09):
who besides the god Ea can make a plan. The
god Ea knoweth everything. He opened his mouth and spake
and said unto the warrior, and litl bell o prince
among the gods, Thou, warrior, how couldst thou, not accepting counsel,
make a cyclone? He who is sinful on him, lay
(16:31):
his sin. He who transgresseth on him, lay his transgression.
But be merciful, that everything be not destroyed, be long suffering,
that man be not blooded out. Instead of thy making
a cyclone, would that a lion had come and diminished mankind,
(16:53):
instead of thy making a cyclone would that a wolf
had come and diminished mankind. Instead of thy making a cyclone,
would that a famine had arisen and laid waste the land.
Instead of thy making a cyclone would that Urah, the
plague god, had risen up and laid waste the land.
(17:15):
As for me, I have not revealed the secret of
the great gods. I made Atrajasis to see a vision,
and thus he heard the secret of the gods. Now
therefore counsel him with counsel. Eia dithis utenn Apishteem and
his wife. Then the god Ea went up into the ship.
(17:39):
He seized me by the hand and brought me forth.
He brought forth my wife, and made her to kneel
by my side. He turned our faces towards each other.
He stood between us. He blessed us, saying, formerly utuan
A Pieshteem was a man merely. But now let utannapish
(18:00):
Steam and his wife be like unto the gods ourselves.
Wutann apish Steem shall dwell afar off at the mouth
of the rivers. Wutanapichteem ends his story of the deluge.
And they took me away to a place far off,
and made me to dwell at the mouth of the rivers.
