Translation
1 She is fierce! She is fearsome!
2 She is a goddess! She is radiating!
3 She is a she-wolf!
4 Daughter of Anum!
5–6 In the grass is her dwelling,
7–8 in the alfafa-grass is her lair!
9–11 She holds back the young man.
12–13 (Of) the quick mule she tears off its tail.
13–14 She verily smites the little ones.
15–16 She gives the old ones amniotic water to drink, so they say.
17–19 The spell is not mine, it is the spell of Ninkillil, the lord of spells!
20–22 Ninkarrak casted it, I received it!
