the cippus [of your kinsman]; [into the earth sending forth your dying breath],
into the dust protecting [your progress]; [he shall shut]
the mouths of your slanderers, he shall drive away [those who are ill-disposed towards you].
He shall serve up your share in the house of [Baal], [and your portion]
in the house of El; taking your hand when [drunk],
supporting you when sated with wine; he shall plaster
your roof on a muddy day, he shall wash
Danel's face was radiant with joy, above, his forehead shone.
He unknit his brow and laughed;⁠a
he put his foot on the footstool, he opened his mouth and cried:
“Now I can sit down and rest, and my spirit can rest in my breast,
for a son shall be born to me like my brothers, a scion like my kinsmen.
He shall set up the stela of my ancestral god, in the sanctuary the cippus of my kinsman;
into the earth sending forth my dying breath, into the dust protecting my progress;
he shall shut the mouths of my slanderers,
he shall drive away those who are ill-disposed towards me.
taking my hand when drunk, supporting me when sated with wine;
he shall serve up my share in the house of Baal, and my portion
in the house of El; he shall plaster my roof on a muddy day,
he shall wash my clothes on a filthy day.”
Danel arrives at his house,
Danel comes into his palace.
Into his house came the Kotharat, the daughters
of Hilal, the swallows. Then Danel,
the man of healing, then the hero, the devotee
of Hrnm, slaughters an ox for the Kotharat.
He feeds the Kotharat, and
gives drink to the daughters of Hilal, the swallows.
Lo, a day and a second, he feeds
the Kotharat and gives drink to the daughters of Hilal,
the swallows. A third, a fourth day, he feeds
the Kotharat and gives drink to
the daughters of Hilal, the swallows. A fifth,
a sixth day, he feeds the Kotharat
and gives drink to the daughters of Hilal, the swallows.
Behold, on the seventh day, there depart from his house
the Kotharat, the daughters of Hilal, the swallows,
[…] the bed of conception,
[…] the bed of childbirth.
Danel sits [and counts] her months.
A month, a second month passes,
a third, a fourth [month] […]
months arrive […]
