13 [āl]u šū labirma ilāni qerbuššu
14 [an]a šakān abūbi ubla libbašunu ilāni rabûti	11 "The city of Shuruppak — a city you yourself know,
12 the [city that] is situated on the [banks] of the Euphrates —
13 that city was old and the gods were inside it,
14 (when) the great gods decided to cause the Deluge.

20 amāssunu ušannâ ana kikkišu	19 "Prince Ea was likewise under oath with them,
20 (but) repeated their words to a reed fence:

30 [l]ū mithur rupussa u mūrakša
31 [k]īma apsî šâši ṣullilši	28 "'The boat that you are going to build,
29 her dimensions should all be matching:
30 her breadth and length should be the same,
31 cover her with a roof, like the Apsû'.

33 'I hereby concur, my lord, with what you told me thus.
34 [I] have paid attention; I shall do it.
35 (But) how should I answer the city, the crowd and elders?'
36 ea pâšu īpušamma iqabbi
37 izakkara ana ardīšu yâtu	36 "Ea opened his mouth to speak,
37 saying to me, his servant:
38 u atta kī'am taqabbâššunūti
39 [mi]ndēma yâši Enlil izērannima
40 [u]l uššab ina ālī[ku]numa
41 [ina] qaqqar enlil ul ašakkan[a šēp]īyāma
42 [urr]adma ana apsî itti ea [b]ēliya ašbāku	38 'Then also you will say to them as follows:
39 'For sure the god Enlil has conceived a hatred of me!
40 I cannot dwell in your city!
