XL.
When the mighty speak in the great place,
in the house of perfection,
the great, the mighty,
they create Šilmai and Nidbai.
Šilmai and Nidbai they created
and gave them to Nsab-Zīwā as assistants.
When Nsab-Zīwā supported himself
on the perfect Uthras created for him,
he spoke with his gentle voice,
and the chosen ones go out to meet him.
The chosen ones go to meet him,
and he grants them of his praises.
From his praise he grants them,
and the elect are sustained in the Tibil.
Those of proven righteousness endure,
they ascend and behold the place of light.


The life is upheld and is victorious,
and victorious is the man who has gone here.
