Musean translation
Mouseia’s complete machine-assisted Musean translation, made directly from the Egyptian, line for line, covering all 334 papyrus lines: the opening from Papyrus Ramesseum (R 1–23), where Papyrus Berlin 3022 is lost, then the whole of Papyrus Berlin 3022 (B 1–311), 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).
29 I left Byblos and came to Qedem. I spent
30 one year and a half there. Then Amunenshi, ruler
31 of Upper Retjenu, summoned me. He said, “You will prosper with me; you will hear
32 the language of Egypt.” He said this because he knew my character and had heard
33 of my skill, as the Egyptians
34 there with him had testified. Then he asked, “How did you come here?
35 Has something happened in
36 the Residence?” I answered, “King Sehetepibre of Upper and Lower Egypt has gone to the horizon;
37 no one knows what may happen because of it.” But I spoke an evasion:
38 “When I returned from the campaign against the Tjemehu, they told me. My heart
39 grew faint; my mind was no longer in my body. It set
40 me on the path of flight. Nothing had been charged against me; no one had spat
41 in my face. I had heard no slander; my name had not been heard from the mouth
42 of a herald. I do not know what brought me into this foreign land;
43 it was like a god's decree.” Then he said to me, “What will become of that land without him,
44 that excellent god whose terror fills
45 the foreign lands like Sekhmet in a year of plague?” I replied:
46 “Surely his son has entered the palace and taken
47 his father's inheritance. He is a god without a second;
48 no other arose before him. A lord of wisdom,
49 matchless in counsel, excellent in command: departures and returns happen when
50 he commands. He conquered foreign lands while his father remained within his palace,
51 reporting to him the fulfillment of all he had ordained. He is a champion,
52 acting by the strength of his arm, an assailant without equal; he is seen
53 descending upon the bowmen, entering battle.
54 He bends their horns and paralyzes their hands; his enemies cannot join the fight.
55 He is an avenger, a splitter of skulls; none can stand near him.
56 He strides far and destroys the fugitive;
57 there is no escape for one who turns his back. He stands firm in the hour of attack;
58 he turns to face his foe, never giving his back. He is resolute
59 when he sees the multitude; he does not let what is in his heart lie idle.
60 Bold is his face when he attacks the eastern peoples; his joy is his assault
61 upon the bowmen. He takes his shield and strikes down;
62 he need not strike twice to kill. None can turn aside his arrows; none
63 can draw his bow. The bow peoples flee before him like
64 the power of the Great Serpent. He fights knowing the outcome already,
65 not waiting for what is to follow. He is a lord of affection, great in grace;
66 he has conquered by love. His city loves him more than its own body,
67 rejoicing in him more than in its god. Men and women pass by rejoicing
68 in him, for he is king. Even in the egg he conquered;
69 his gaze has been set on it since his birth. He multiplies those born with him,
70 a unique one given by god. How joyful is the land he has come to rule!
71 He widens its borders. He will conquer the lands
72 of the south; he does not set his mind on the foreign lands of the north. He was made to strike the Sand-dwellers,
73 to trample those who run the sands. Send to him; let him know
74 your name. Do not seek to turn away from His Majesty. […] He will surely do good
Plain English translation

29 I made my way out of Byblos; I pushed on to Qedem. I spent
30 a year and a half there. Then Amunenshi fetched me; he is the ruler
31 of Upper Retjenu. He said to me: "It is good, you being with me. You will hear
32 the speech of Egypt." He said this because he knew my character; he had heard
33 of my experience: the people of Egypt
34 who were with him there bore witness for me. Then he said to me: "You have come to this —
35 why? Was there some trouble
36 in the Residence?" Then I said to him: "The King of Upper and Lower Egypt, Sehetepibre, has gone to his horizon.
37 No one can know what may come of it. I said this as a pretext.
38 I had come back from an army going against the land of the Tjemehu, and it was reported to me. My heart —
39 it fainted; it was not in my body; it carried me
40 onto the road of flight. No fault had been found with me, and no one had spat
41 in my face. I had heard no slander, and my name had never been heard
42 in the mouth of a herald. I do not know what brought me to this land:
43 it was like the plan of a god." Then he said before me: "What now is that land, without him?
44 That excellent god: his terror is everywhere
45 in the foreign lands, like Sekhmet in a year of plague." I said to him:
46 "Indeed, his son has gone into the palace, and he has taken
47 his father's inheritance. He is a god, and there is no second to him; no other
48 existed before him. He is a lord of wisdom, unique:
49 his plans excellent, his commands sure — going out and coming home at his word.
50 He it was who subdued the foreign lands while his father was inside his palace;
51 he reported to him that all he had ordained had happened. A strong man is he indeed,
52 one who acts with the strength of his arm, an attacker, and none is his equal. When he is seen,
53 he falls upon the bowmen; he has joined the battle.
54 He is one who bends the horn: he makes hands go slack, and his foes cannot take up the fight.
55 In the melee he is the avenger: he splits skulls, and none can stand before him.
56 He strides wide, and near him he destroys the runaway;
57 there is no escape for the man who turns his back on him. In the moment of attack he is steady of heart,
58 he wheels about but never gives his back; he is the man of firm heart.
59 When he sees the crowd, he does not let what is in his heart sit idle.
60 He charges with his face: when he falls on the peoples of the east, that is his joy —
61 his attack on the bowmen. He takes up his shield; he strikes down; he does not
62 repeat the blow. No one can turn aside his arrows,
63 no one can bend his bow. The bow peoples flee before him like
64 the might of the Great One. He fights, having foreseen the outcome; he does not
65 wait for what is left. He is a lord of love, great in sweetness:
66 he won by love. His city loves him more than its own body, and it cheers
67 over him more than over its own god. Men and women go past him crying out for joy, for
68 he is king over it. He conquered while still in the egg;
69 his face was on it from the day he was born. He is one who multiplies those born with him —
70 a unique one the god has given. How glad is this land, whose rule he has taken up:
71 he is one who stretches out its borders. He will conquer the lands,
72 the southern lands. He does not scheme against the northern lands. He was made to strike the Asiatics,
73 to tread down the Sand-dwellers. Send to him, and let him learn
74 your name. Do not seek a name for yourself in disloyalty from his Majesty. […] He will certainly do good to the land that stays loyal to him."
