Translation
col. iv
C0 iv 1' “Now, they (the people) should not hear the matter,
C0 iv 2' (for) the gods have commanded an annihilation –
C0 iv 3'–4' an evil act Enlil will do to the people.
C0 iv 5'–6' In the assembly they decided about the Flood:
C0 iv 6'–7' “By the day of the new moon we shall do the task!” (they said).
C0 iv 8'–10' Atra-ḫasīs, kneeling in the presence of Ea, his tears were flowing.
C0 iv 11'–12' Ea opened his mouth, addressed his servant:
C0 iv 13'–14' “Firstly, you are crying for the people; secondly, you are kneeling (in prayer):
C0 iv 15' You are (indeed) the one who reveres me!
C0 iv 16'–17' There is a task to be done –
C0 iv 18'–19' but you, you don’t know at all how to bring it to its completion”.
