English

Adapted from an English translation of the Akkadian version, from Tablet VI.

Ishtar spoke to her father, Anu, saying:
"Father, give me the Bull of Heaven,
so he can kill Gilgamesh in his dwelling.
If you do not give me the Bull of Heaven,
I will knock down the Gates of the Netherworld,
I will smash the door posts, and leave the doors flat down,
and will let the dead go up to eat the living!
And the dead will outnumber the living!"

Inanna roðit du seina faðari, Anu, rogiandu:
“Faðar, gevâ mis lo toro hemênico,
sva dauþarât Gilgamesce nal seina bauvaene.
Si non mis gevas lo toro hemênico,
demolireggio los Cagcellos i Nedargardi,
sfracelleraggio los gambaticos e lascieraggio las portas abbassatas,
e leteraggio los dauþos ascendere faur mazzare los vivos!
Ed i dauþi sorpassarando los vivos!”
