When the heavens above did not exist,
And earth beneath had not come into being
There was Apsu, the first in order, their begetter,
(and) maker Tiamat, who bore them all,
They were mingling their waters together,
No lea was packed together, no canebrake matted close.
When no gods at all had been brought forth,

During the time when the sky had not been named,
when the earth which lies beneath us kept no name,
And primeval Apàsê, the father of those two,
and Lawless Têhamat, who birthed them, were not yet conjoined,
their water was not twisted,
And no field lay, no hills were seen,
When the Gods had not named one.
