Let me tell you who I am. | ||
I am the King of Kings, the mightiest of all. | ||
My kingdom goes from the sea to the mountains and beyond the horizon, from the north to the south and from the east to the west – it is all my land, without borders. | ||
The sun, the wind, fire and water are mine to command. | ||
The day comes when I call it and the night with its stars and the moon on the night sky dare not show up until I'm done. | ||
I do not drink the same water as the mortals, nor do I eat the same bread as them. | ||
The whole world is my garden - I have created it and I rule it. | ||
The heavens envy me, and the gods stand before me humble. | ||
Yut hātłhihuān hāzēna lōīn. | for god-pl-abl great-cpr-sg.nom be-1sg | For I am greater than the gods. |
Who and what are you, compared to me, human? | ||
You are dust and you will remain dust when you die, while my garden will stand for an eternity and win against the tide of time. | ||
Yours is a house of bricks and wood, mine is a palace of stone, marble and gold. | ||
1sg.nom 2sg.m-dat q-neg-give-1sg-ipfv, existence.sg-dat right.sg-com neg-be-2sg | You do not have the right to exist if I do not give it to you. | |
Am I obligated to tolerate your existence? | ||
You are but a servant of mine. | ||
I am the first among kings, I am the King of Kings. | ||
Everything here belongs to me. | ||
From the smallest grain of dust to the tallest mountain, from the smallest drop of rain to the largest ocean, from a mouse in a field to an eagle high in the sky. | ||
Every dog and horse, soldier and weapon and treasure belong to me by right. | ||
Zī yoni īlōz. Moznōtziz izimoziz. | 2sg.m.nom who.nom q-be-2sg / existence.sg-acc neg-exist-2sg | Who are you? You are nothing. (lit. You do not even exist.) |
And this is my garden and I am its king, the King of Kings. |
