You who the gods have favored after (your) anger.
Oh loved one by Ra who is on his boat,
Rejecting Apophis with the efficacy of your word,
Look, Tolomeo is before you,
Who, purified, may he adore your beauty.
The evils of the past year that had adhered to him have been sent
away,
The evils of this year, have been chased away,
His back is to them;
He has presented propitiatory offers for them,
And his face is toward the Lady:
How welcomed you are again.
He has done nothing harmful against the Gods of this city,
He has committed no harm;
Nothing will be said against him by the councilors and the scribes
of the Two Lands,
Those who inflict wounds as the annual part,
Who guide and pull the animals to the god’s sacrificing block.
He is protected for this year,
From the hostile incantations that accompany (it),
In peace, in peace, Oh Happy New Year,
He will completely satisfy your ka with offers, (Oh Isis).
His face is (permeated) of life.
