O Seti, Great One, my father.
I hath finished for thee thy temple at Abydos.
And made known the lineage of the blessed.
Those who came before.
I hath exalted mine ancestors.
I hath honoured with the blood and sweat of many.
The legacy of thy conquests.
I hath glorified thy temple of Set in Avaris.
In Karnak, hath I raised the Great Hall.
In Thebes, sublime monuments, grand pylons, obelisks
And colossal statues are inscribed with my name.
By divine right I hath usurped the monuments of my predecessors.
I hath created imposing rock hewn temples.
Monumental colossi in mine own image.
Like as unto the images of Amun, Re, Ptah.
I hath caused to rise a formidable legacy carved in stone.
In the mountain of Meha.
Intended to endure a million years.
In the violence of Sekhem.
I am become Montu,
God of war in the two lands.
I hath suppressed the rebellious.
I hath driven back chaos and disorder.
The conquered chiefs of all foreign lands are beneath my sandals.
I hath emblazoned my countless victories in immortality.
Carved in rocks as living images of the ritual massacre of mine enemies.
I am User-Maat-Re Setep-en-Re,
Sovereign of Sovereigns,
Beloved of Amun,
Chosen of Re,
I hath made manifest the grandeur of my empire.
to be worthy of thy legacy.
O Seti, Great One.
User-Maat-Re, Thou hast done nothing.
User-Maat-Re, Thou hast done nothing.
Nothing.
Nothing.
