of my
Lordship, for Assur-nasir-pal, glorious Prince, worshipper
of the great gods
19 the generous, the great, the powerful, acquirer of cities and
forests and the territory of all of them, King of Lords,
destroying the wicked, strengthening
20 the peaceful, not sparing opponents, a Prince of firm will(?)
one who combats oppression, Lord of all Kings,
21 Lord of Lords, the acknowledged, King of Kings, seated
gloriously, the renown of Ninip the warrior, worshipper of
the great gods, prolonging the benefits (conferred by) his
fathers:
22 a Prince who in the service of Assur and the Sun-god, the
gods in whom he trusted, royally marched to turbulent lands,
and Kings who had rebelled against him
23 he cut off like grass, all their lands to his feet he subjected,
restorer of the worship of the goddesses and that of the
great gods,
24 Chief unwavering, who for the guidance of the heads (and)
elders of his land is a steadfast guardian, the work of whose
hands and
25 the gift of whose finger the great gods of heaven and earth
have exalted, and his steps[10] over rulers have they established
forever;
26 their power for the preservation of my Royalty have they
exercised; the retribution of his power, (and) the approach
of His Majesty over Princes
27 of the four regions they have extended: the enemies of Assur
in all their country, the upper and the lower I chastised, and
tribute and impost
28 upon them I established, capturing the enemies of Assur—mighty
King, King of Assyria, son of Tuklat-Adar who all
his enemies
29 has scattered; (who) in the dust threw down the corpses of
his enemies, the grandson of Bin-nirari, the servant of the
great gods,
30 who crucified alive and routed his enemies and subdued
them to his yoke, descendant of Assur-dan-il, who the
fortresses
31 established (and) the fanes made good. In those days by
the decree[11] of the great gods to royalty power supremacy
I rose up:
32 I am a King, I am a Lord, I am glorious, I am great, I am
mighty, I have arisen, I am Chief, I am a Prince, I am a
warrior
33 I am great and I am glorious, Assur-nasir-habal, a mighty
King of Assyria, proclaimer of the Moon-god, worshipper
of Anu, exalter of Yav,[12] suppliant of the gods
34 am I, servant unyielding, subduing the land of his foeman,
a King mighty in battle, destroyer of cities and forests,
35 Chief over opponents, King of the four regions, expeller of
his foes, prostrating all his enemies, Prince of a multitude
of lands of all Kings
36 Even of all, a Prince subduing those disobedient
