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,
