Tablet VIII The Lament of Gilgamesh


Just as day began to dawn Gilgamesh addressed his friend, saying:
“Enkidu, may the gazelles of the grassland mourn you,
and the animals at the watering hole.
May the path that winds through the cedar forest mourn you, by day and by night.
May the elders of strong­walled Uruk mourn you.
May Shamhat mourn you in the Temple of Ishtar.
Hear me: The young men who cheered for us weep for you now.
The rivers weep for you, and the mountains too.
Enkidu, my friend,after we joined together and went up into the mountain,
fought the Bull of Heaven and killed it,
and overwhelmed Humbaba, who lived in the Cedar Forest,
now what is this sleep which has seized you?
You have turned dark and do not hear me!"
But Enkidu's eyes do not move,his heart beats no longer.
He covered his friend's face like a bride,
then sheared off his own curls, and cast away his clothes.
Gilgamesh displayed before Shamash a carnelian bowl filled with honey
and a lapis lazuli bowl filled with butter.
Gilgamesh gathered lapis lazuli and gold for Enkidu’s burial.

Tablet VIII The Lament of Gilgamesh


Just as day began to dawn Gilgamesh addressed his friend, saying(Just as daytime started to dawn Gilgamesh explained to his amigo, by saying):
“Enkidu, may the gazelles of the grassland mourn you(Enkidu, may the chamois of the grassland mourn you),
and the animals at the watering hole(and the animals by the watering hole).
May the path that winds through the cedar forest mourn you, by day and by night(May the path that winds through the cedar forest extraordinarily mourn you just all times, by day and by night).
May the elders of strong­walled Uruk mourn you(May the exalted seniors of strong­walled Uruk mourn you).
May Shamhat mourn you in the Temple of Ishtar(May Shamhat begin mourning you in the Temple of Ishtar).
Hear me: The young men who cheered for us weep for you now(Hear me: The young men who cheered for us begin weeping for you now).
The (excessive) rivers weep for you, and the mountains too.
Enkidu, my friend,after we joined together and went up into the mountain(Enkidu, my friend, just after we climbed the steep mountain together),
fought the Bull of Heaven and killed it(explosively battled the strong Bull of Heaven and killed it),
(and engulfed Humbaba, who formerly lived in the big Cedar Forest)and overwhelmed Humbaba, who lived in the Cedar Forest,
(now what magic is this sleep exactly which has seized you)now what is this sleep which has seized you?
You have turned dark and do not hear me(You have just became shady approximately and do not hear me)!"
But Enkidu's eyes do not move,his heart beats no longer(But Enkidu's eyes do not change any, his heart beats no longer).
He covered his friend's face like a bride(He began covering his ex friend's face softly just as same as a bride),
then(next) sheared off his own curls, and cast away his clothes.
(Gilgamesh exhibited in front of his girl friend Shamash a waxy red carnelian bowl filled with tempting honey)Gilgamesh displayed before Shamash a carnelian bowl filled with honey
and a lapis lazuli bowl filled with butter(and an exquisite lapis lazuli bowl filled with butter).
Gilgamesh gathered lapis lazuli and gold for Enkidu’s burial(Gilgamesh just assembled these lapis lazuli and gold for Enkidu’s burial).
