Musean translation

Mouseia’s complete machine-assisted Musean translation, made directly from the Egyptian, line for line, covering the whole surviving text of Papyrus Westcar (Berlin P 3033), columns 1–12, from line 1.12 to the end of column 12, 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).

11.1 She said, “A king who shall rule this entire land!” Then

11.2 Khnum made his limbs sound. They washed him after

11.3 cutting his umbilical cord and laid him on a linen cloth in a brick birth-bed. The gods departed,

11.4 having delivered Ruddedet of the three children.

11.5 They said, “May your heart rejoice, Rawoser! Three children have been born to you.”

11.6 He said to them, “My ladies, what can I do for you?

11.7 Perhaps you would give this barley to your porter;

11.8 take it for yourselves as payment for beer […] and vessels.” Khnum loaded himself

11.9 with the barley. The gods set out for the place

11.10 from which they had come. Isis said to them, “Why have we

11.11 come here without working a wonder for these

11.12 children, so that we may tell their father who had us summoned?” Then

11.13 they fashioned three royal crowns, life, prosperity, and health to their lord, and put them in the

11.14 barley. They summoned down the sky in wind and rain,

11.15 then turned back toward the house and said, “Please place

11.16 this barley in a sealed chamber until we return

11.17 from dancing in the north.” The barley was put in a chamber and sealed.

11.18 Ruddedet purified herself for

11.19 14 days. Then she asked her maid, “Is this house

11.20 ready?” The maid replied, “It is stocked with everything good except

11.21 measures of beer, which have not been brought.” Ruddedet asked, “Why

11.22 were the beer measures not brought?” The maid answered,

11.23 “There is nothing here suitable for brewing except the barley belonging to those

11.24 musicians. It is in a chamber bearing their seal.” Ruddedet said,

11.25 “Go down and bring some of it. Rawoser will give them

11.26 its replacement when he returns.” The maid went and opened the chamber.

Plain English translation

Mouseia’s complete Plain English edition, made independently and directly from the same Egyptian text, line for line, covering the whole surviving text of Papyrus Westcar (Berlin P 3033), columns 1–12, from line 1.12 to the end of column 12.

11.1 She said, “He is a king who will rule this whole land.” Then

11.2 Khnum made his limbs healthy. They washed him after his cord

11.3 was cut, and laid him on a square linen cloth on a brick bed. Then these gods left,

11.4 having helped Ruddedet give birth to the 3 children.

11.5 They said, “Be happy, Rawoser! You have been given

11.6 3 children.” He said to them, “My ladies, what can I do for you?

11.7 Perhaps you could give this barley to the man carrying your luggage.

11.8 Take it as payment for beer […] for large jars.” Khnum loaded himself

11.9 with the barley. They went back to the place

11.10 they had come from. Isis said to the gods, “Why did

11.11 we leave without making a miracle for these

11.12 children to tell their father about, the man who had us come?” Then

11.13 they made 3 royal crowns, may the king live, prosper, and be healthy, and placed them in the

11.14 barley. They brought a storm and rain from the sky.

11.15 Then they turned back to the house. They said, “Please put

11.16 this barley here in a locked room until we come back

11.17 from dancing in the north.” They put the barley in a locked room.

11.18 Ruddedet then purified herself for

11.19 14 days. She asked her servant, “Is this house

11.20 ready?” The servant said, “It has everything good except

11.21 measures of beer, which have not been brought.” Ruddedet said, “Why

11.22 weren't the measures of beer brought?” The servant said,

11.23 “There is nothing suitable here to make them with except the barley belonging to those

11.24 women who dance and play music. It is in a room sealed with their seal.” Ruddedet said,

11.25 “Go down and get some of it. Rawoser can give them

11.26 something in return when he comes back.” The servant went
