Winds rise! Seven ills will charge!
Conquer stellar spheres of Sin, vanquish cities of man
Callous demons created in the vaults of the heavens
Raging storms, menacing gods are they
The first is the south wind - Rampant havoc The other is a dragon, whose mouth is the sky
The third is a terrible Shibbu Fourth is a grim beast, which carries off the young
Tempest of malice Presaging the baneful storm
At the right of Adad They are stalking
Winds rise! Seven ills will charge!
Conquer stellar spheres of Sin, vanquish cities of man
Created in vaults of the heavens, these callous demons Bringers of the eclipse, menacing gods are they
The fifth is a furious wolf, who knoweth not to flee The next is a rampart
The seventh is a storm - taking vengeance Seven are they, messengers to king Anu
Tempest of malice Presaging the baneful storm
At the right of Adad They are stalking
Upholding the symbol of the crescent disk
Sin, lord of the oaths, the moon god of Ur
A duel for control with the seven (winds)
No bolt can turn them back No door can shut them out
To wreak destruction Forward they go
Delusional dreams
With a sanctified pestle and mortar
The counter spells are prepared
Hearing these tidings Elil shaped a plan to retaliate against the seven winds
Exalted Massu of the gods in divine counsel The Elder Lords they beheld
The horned crown placed on the throne Designate the presence of Enlil - glorious one
Army of Sin rise...
When the seven evil winds Retaliate!
Under Enlil's glare, the triads avenge
They set themselves angrily
The seven winds are subdued ...They will return
