When the sky above was not named,
And the earth beneath did not yet bear a name,
And the primeval Apsû, who begat them,
And chaos, Tiamat, the mother of them both,
Their waters were mingled together,
And no field was formed, no marsh was to be seen;
When of the gods none had been called into being.

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.
