Musean translation
Mouseia’s complete machine-assisted Musean translation, made directly from the Egyptian, line for line, covering all sixteen pages (198 lines) of the recto of Papyrus Chester Beatty I, the only complete copy, working from the Thesaurus Linguae Aegyptiae transcription (hieroglyphs, transliteration and lemma glosses, with the TLA editors’ German sentence renderings as a comprehension aid; ORAEC release of the TLA corpus, CC BY-SA 4.0).
16.1 his father Osiris.” Then they brought Horus, son of Isis, placed the White Crown upon his head, and set him in the place of his father Osiris. They said to him, “You are the perfect king of Egypt! You are
16.2 the lord of life, prosperity, and health, the perfect one of every land, for everlasting time and eternity!” Then Isis cried aloud to her son Horus: “You are the perfect king! My heart rejoices! May you light up the land
16.3 with your being!” Then Ptah the Great, South of His Wall, Lord of Ankh-tawy, said, “What shall be done with Seth? For look: Horus has been placed in the seat of his father Osiris!” Then
16.4 Re-Harakhty said, “Give Seth, son of Nut, to me. Let him sit beside me as my son; let his voice thunder in the sky, and let all fear him.” Then they
16.5 went to tell Re-Harakhty, “Horus, son of Isis, has arisen as Ruler, life, prosperity, and health.” Re rejoiced exceedingly and said to the Ennead,
16.6 “Rejoice and bow to the earth for Horus, son of Isis!” Then Isis said, “Horus has arisen as Ruler, life, prosperity, and health. The Ennead is in celebration; heaven is filled with joy.” They took up
16.7 wreaths when they saw Horus, son of Isis, arisen as great Ruler, life, prosperity, and health, of Egypt. The heart of the Ennead rejoiced; all the land was jubilant
16.8 when they saw Horus, son of Isis, to whom the office of his father Osiris, lord of Busiris, had been given. It has come to a beautiful end within Thebes, at the Place of Truth.

16.1 his father Osiris.” Then they brought Horus, son of Isis, put the White Crown on his head, and placed him in the position of his father Osiris. They said to him, “You are the good king of Egypt. You are
16.2 the lord of life, prosperity, and health, the finest in every land forever and ever.” Then Isis gave a loud shout to her son Horus: “You are the good king! My heart is full of joy! You light up the land
16.3 with your being!” Then Ptah the Great, Who Is South of His Wall, Lord of Ankh-Tawy, said, “What shall we do with Seth? Look, Horus has been put in the position of his father Osiris.” Then
16.4 Re-Harakhty said, “Give Seth, the son of Nut, to me. Let him live with me as my son. Let him raise his voice in the sky and let people fear him.” Then they
16.5 went to tell Re-Harakhty, “Horus, son of Isis, has risen as ruler; may he live, prosper, and be healthy.” Re was very happy. He said to the council of gods,
16.6 “Cheer for Horus, son of Isis, and bow down to the ground!” Then Isis said, “Horus has risen as ruler; may he live, prosper, and be healthy. The council of gods is celebrating. The sky is full of joy. They took
16.7 garlands when they saw Horus, son of Isis, risen as the great ruler of Egypt; may he live, prosper, and be healthy. The hearts of the council of gods were glad. The whole land was celebrating
16.8 when they saw Horus, son of Isis, after the position of his father Osiris, Lord of Busiris, had been given to him.” It has come to a good end in the Place of Truth at Thebes.
