The Lament for the Destruction of Nippur is a Sumerian city lament (ETCSL c.2.2.4) belonging to the five canonical laments of the Ur III collapse, though its specific setting and purpose differ from its companions. Nippur was not primarily a political capital but the religious center of all Sumer — the city of Enlil, king of the gods, whose temple the Ekur was the axis of the cosmos and the legitimizing center of all kingship. When Nippur fell, it was not merely a city that was lost but the theological heart of Sumerian civilization. Unlike the Ur lament, which closes in a prayer for restoration not yet granted, the Nippur lament frames destruction within an arc of restoration already accomplished — the composition ends with praise for Ishme-Dagan of Isin, who rebuilt the Ekur and restored Enlil's cult. This suggests the text was composed under the Isin dynasty (c. 2017–1794 BCE) as both memorial and hymn of triumph.

The composition is structured in kirugu sections with barsig antiphons — the standard liturgical form of the balag-lament, performed in temple ritual by the gala-priest. Its literary emphasis differs from the other city laments: rather than dwelling on the human dead in the streets, it focuses on the cosmic significance of what was unmade — the Ubshukkinakka, the divine assembly hall where the gods met in council; the displacement of the Anunna from their thrones; the scattering of the divine standards and sacred rites that gave Sumer its order. The loss of Nippur is, in this telling, the loss of the world's organizing principle. The text is also more fragmentary than the Ur lament, and several kirugu sections survive only in damaged form.

The translation below follows the composite text established by the Electronic Text Corpus of Sumerian Literature (ETCSL, Oxford). Section divisions follow the kirugu structure of the original. Lacunae are marked where the text is damaged.

Kirugu 1

The sheepfold built of noble divine powers —
how the wind struck it! When will its place be restored?

The storehouse sealed by fate has been opened.
Its divine powers — who scattered them?
The lament spreads.

The storehouse of Nippur, shrine of the bond of heaven and earth —
how the wind struck it! When will its place be restored?

The Ki-Ur, the great place that was built —
the storehouse of the Ekur that was built —
the Ubshukkinakka that was built —
the shrine of the Egalmah that was built —
how the wind struck them! When will their place be restored?

The true city, filled with joy — how has it fallen?
Its precious design was defiled by the hand.
Its inhabitants — how were they overthrown?
Its great sacred rites were torn away by the hand.

Nippur — within it, the divine powers have been scattered.
The black-headed people — the true seed that has sprouted —
the city — its heart has not found its wisdom.

The Anunna gods gave counsel against it.
At the Ubshukkinakka, the place of great judgment,
the just verdict was not carried out.
Their gods have been placed in a foreign dwelling.
Its standards fell; its thrones were abandoned.

At the holy royal station, the great banquet hall —
the pouring of honey-wine — was it fated for this?

Nippur — toward its city of broad shade —
the black-headed people cooled themselves in fear.
Its dwelling — like one cast down in the neck-stock — fell.
Like a cow whose calf is gone — it is scattered.

Within the city — heavy, abundant tears.
Until when will its lady-goddess pay no heed?
The great house — the one that knew its roar —
stands filled like a ruin mound. No one enters.

Nippur — its great thrones — why have they abandoned it?
The black-headed people ate mixed herbs like sheep.

Day after day in prostration —
tears, lamentation, a heart battered and sick.
Until when will the outside be scorched?
The heart will not be calmed.

The sack and the bag were struck.
The bitter cry — how many days does it last?

The balaj-player sat among the ruins.
What was laid in exhaustion — they speak of it in tears.
The man whose wife was cast away, whose child was cast away —
"Alas, we of the destroyed city!" — they sing in lament.

Its city was expelled; its dwelling has fled.
They scatter to the ruins at the city's bitter edge.
Weeping — the balaj-singers speak it.
Those going out at dawn — as if they do not know their way.
The people were struck; their minds were confounded.
The true house — its heavy tears speak.

Ki-ru-gu 1.

[Gishgigal:] ...built a house... Ninlil...

Kirugu 2

To the true house — weeping and lament go to you.
The bitter song speaks — the true purification rite is destroyed.
To the storehouse of the Ekur — weeping and lament go to you.
The bitter song speaks — the true purification rite is destroyed.

The great sacred rites, the precious design —
by the evil hand — heavy tears flow.
The fallen standards, their purity —
in their resting place — speaks.
The cleansed divine powers, the pure —
defiled by the hand — the house suffers so.

The true house bows and bows in pain.
As the days pass, tears are renewed.

What was placed in the house — its surplus seal was opened —
its burden has been placed on the ground.
"What is its weight?" — it speaks
of what was stored and crushed under the evil foot.

Those who do not know good or evil
cut off what was good — the bitter song speaks.

Its people — finished within like goats and donkeys —
"Alas, my land!" — it speaks.

The young women and the young men —
laid out in rows — the mother-cry speaks.
Their roots — scattered on the ground like a storm cloud —
do not dissolve into tears.

The house — like a cow whose calf has been cut away —
by itself — roars in bitter pain, goes about bellowing.

The balaj-singers, those of the sweet counsel —
like a nurse riding a child —
they exchange its name in tears.

The city — its lord has been thrown to the ground.
Its face was placed in a strange land.
They cry out to him.
The true house of all lands — they went toward its face.
The black-headed people seized its true path.
What had been done — what has been destroyed —
its lord has left; he goes at its forefront.

Ki-ru-gu 2.

[Gishgigal:] The great divine powers have gone out from within it —
the bitter cry speaks.

Kirugu 3

The city — its lord has abandoned its heart.
Until now it has not turned back.
Its breath has not returned.

Its brickwork — where has it set foot?
The dove whose cry was there —
has flown away from the nest.

The house that knew the voice,
the brickwork that loved the tigi-sound —
as bitter days passed — turned its face away.

The bowed house, hands pressed to nose in mourning —
the house that stands without awe,
its roof is built on ruin.

Its incantation-priest's ritual — not being purified.
Its purification — not calmed from all lands.
The hand swept it; its chest rose against it.
The evil wind — in such a state — stands in lamentation.

The joy of its brickwork — why has it gone out?
In the middle of the night its interior was filled with tears.
Toward it — the evil wind works against it.
Its lord — was the evil wind — the hand turned back against it.

Its city, its house — was destroyed.
Its foundations were torn apart; the hoe struck them.
Its wife and child — were killed within it.
Its city — a cast-down city — was entered.

Its ancient wind — returned to its place.
Its goods — the storm carried off.
The wealth of the city — into no-wealth — was brought.
Its counsel was overturned.
Its wisdom was uprooted; the wind struck it.
Its plants, its water — were taken away.
The one who knew milk, who knew beer —
its day has ended.

The house — the evil wind works against it.
The heavy lament speaks — tears overflow.

The balaj-singer, the one who speaks the lament —
its heart, which has not calmed,
turns back toward him.

Its lord — its divine powers have gone out from it.
Its arm was not stretched out.
Its care was not given.

Ki-ru-gu 3.

[Gishgigal:] Its great divine powers — how they have flown away.
Its arm was not stretched out. Its care was not given.

Kirugu 4

Because of this lament — my bitter fate —
I go toward it, I pour tears toward it.

The balaj-singer who knows the song —
"Come!" — they speak to my breathing.

Now — I am overcome by exhaustion.
One by one they lay me in tears.

My burning heart —
who knows the place to enter there?
The painful way — my broken heart —
my child-song — puts me to sleep in tears.

The lady who built the house, in her dwelling —
it was placed in falsehood; the storm diminished it.
The enemy finished my land.
They lay me in tears.

My heart — overcome by the evil wind —
they speak toward that, they cool down.
Its tears — they lay down for my lord.
Compassion — at the command of the heart — "come! come!"
— it is had for me.

Enlil — father of the black-headed people —
return to my place.
Return — the arm that is directed to me.

Ki-ru-gu 4.

[Gishgigal:] My heart — it has risen in the waters,
it has been scattered, it is consumed in the marsh.

Kirugu 5

The foremost storehouse — its bitter fate — it is lamented.

Enlil — "Ah, his face!" — you received it into the hand.
You yourself — in your own terror — the heavy tears —
in the fire they were done.

Toward that fate — pray to your lord — thus speak to him:

"My lord — until when do you look away?
My lord!" — thus speak to him.

"From that — the defiled wind —
it does not rise!" — thus speak to him.

"Let your heart be calmed for me.
Bring back the evil wind." — thus speak to him.

"Let the darkened shrines —
let their dwelling be entered!" — thus speak to him.

"Like the pure radiant day —
give it back to me!" — thus speak to him.

[Lines 148–149 fragmentary.]

Like that — in such a way —
at the heart's command — have compassion on me.

Your heart — let it come out of the battered heart.
May the bright heart be placed in me.
Your head — rise up.
Your shield — for long, may it be laid for me.

The strange wind — works against you —
it turns back its hand.

Ki-ru-gu 5.

[Gishgigal:] In the city — not knowing to release the hand —
such a one is laid down.

Kirugu 6

Toward that — your lord —
the stranger who struck the bowed neck —
he has had compassion on you.
He has inquired about your fate.

Your brickwork — from which lamentation came —
he has filled it.
The good condition, the joyful heart,
has been brought back to you.

Ninurta — the mighty enforcer —
has been placed at its head.
The hero, at his side, has been stationed.

The Ekur — the supremely strong shrine always being rebuilt —
the arm has been directed to it.

Its ancient wind — returned to its place.
Its gi-gun4-na — its restoration to its place —
shining like the sun —
its throne, to be brought — was told to him.

The foreign sacred rites that were confused —
the scattered divine powers —
were returned to their place.

The purification — when the enemy laid a hand on it —
its purity —
his unchanging holy word — was told to him.

To Ishme-Dagan — his beloved shepherd —
to multiply unblemished bulls, unblemished goats —
was told to him.

The holy royal station — the hand and foot were placed
to decree fate.
The prayer, the petition — a day was set for it.

[Lines 176–177 fragmentary.]

Ki-ru-gu 6.

[Gishgigal:] Until when will I be weary?

Kirugu 7

The storehouse — until when does it raise its face
to tears and lamentation?

Toward that — your lord —
the great mountain, Enlil, who surpasses heaven and earth —
your storehouse, from which lamentation came,
has found good condition.

Now — the city — your lord
has had compassion on you at the heart's command.

Father Enlil — lord of all lands —
your return has been told.

Great mother Ninlil
has placed lamentation, a prayer before him.

"Place the smitten head of Nippur!" —
was told to him.
"Build my woman's quarters!
Put a roof on my house!" — was told to him.

Within it they returned counsel.
Its decision was spoken.

Enlil — when he goes with his true, good decision —
the true house, worked against by the destroying wind,
he brings back to good condition.

As the wind — in such a state — returns,
he goes out from it.
Like he who built its roof —
he has brought a joyful day.

The roar of pouring honey-wine in abundance —
its fate has been decreed.

"He has filled it — until when, the tears destroyed?"
— thus speaks to him.
Like a wind that has no name — they have perished.
Your fate has been inquired about.

My city, my holy heart —
let him hasten to you — has turned back to you.
Nippur, my holy heart —
let him hasten to you — has turned back to you.

The true city — its great fate has been inquired about.
Its reign has been extended.
Nippur — its great fate has been inquired about.
Its reign has been extended.

To the Ekur — shining like the sun —
thus was told to him.
The Ki-Ur — the true sun has risen —
the day has come back to you.

Ninlil — in her sleeping chamber —
has inquired about your fate.

Enlil and Ninlil together —
to the Ekur — the throne has been erected.
Within it they have abundantly grown the plants.
Honey-wine has been made sweet.
The black-headed people — to firm up in their dwelling —
counsel has been returned.

The people who ate marsh-edge roots —
they have brought sustenance back to you.
The child — returned to its mother —
the neck has been placed in embrace.
Humanity — in its thronging place —
has been led to you.

The shrine of Nippur —
the great mountain Enlil —
has turned back to you!

Ki-ru-gu 7.

[Gishgigal:] Such a state — how it scorched you!
The battered heart — how it wearied you!

Kirugu 8

Toward the ruins of Sumer and Akkad —
for Sumer and Akkad to be restored —
its scattered people — returning to their nest —
thus they were told.

Eridu — within it —
to raise understanding, to scatter true wisdom,
so that its great sacred rites are not destroyed —
its word was brought.

The city Adab — the lady of the city —
to create living things well, to make them grow —
the Anunna — the lords who decree fate —
all of them were told.

Ur — the place set in the inner chambers —
its divine powers uprooted from their divine powers —
for An and Enlil to restore it —
counsel was returned.

Larsa — its noble city, herald of heaven and earth,
judge of the teeming people —
to firm up its foundations, to take hold of the true path —
thus they were told.

Uruk and Kulaba — the holy city, workshop of the gods —
its just decision was given; its place was restored.

The land of Zabalam — city of the sacred woman of heaven,
its strength made complete —
to flee from the enemy, the stranger —
its word was brought.

Lagash — the great pillar of heaven,
the shrine of Girsu set from of old —
An and Enlil turned their good eyes toward it.
Its house in Umma — the brick of the inner mountain —
its evil was done.
Over it — the Tidnum — not being placed there —
rose from it.

Kish — the foundation that grasps the boundary
of Sumer and Akkad, its nobility surpassing —
to firm up its foundations — the great gods were told.

Marad — its city, its river flowing with water,
the spotted grain in the field —
the Anunna who had gone away from it —
turned back toward it.

Isin — the resting place of the Anunna,
who raised pride from of old —
An, Enlil, Enki, and Ninmah — its reign was extended.
For the spoken word — the right hand was placed.
Its "may it be so" was spoken.

To Ninurta — the young, mighty hero —
his hand was given.

Ninisina — the great child of heaven, perfume of the land —
in her holy dwelling, the Egalmah —
to make tremble with awe — they spoke to her.

Damu — the splendor of Nunamnir, the living physician —
the foot toward its mother, toward its father,
bowing the mountain — was told to him.

Ki-ru-gu 8.

[Gishgigal:] May An, Enlil, Enki, and Ninmah
direct their arm there.

Kirugu 9

Now — Enlil has set the true day for the land.
The day of Nippur lifting its neck to heaven — now it has been spoken.
The true day for the Ekur to grow its head — he has found it.
The day for great radiance to rise in the Ki-Ur — he has raised it.
The day for Sumer and Akkad to spread wide — he has returned it.
The day for houses to be built, storehouses to encircle — he has decreed it.
The day for seed to sprout, for the living to be born — he has brought it out.
The day for sheepfolds to be built, pens to be set on the ground —
he has brought it out.

A ewe gives birth to a lamb — the fold fills with it.
The ewe gives birth in her pen — the lamb fills the fold.
A nanny goat gives birth to a kid — the pen fills.
The ewe and her lamb multiply — the sheepfold is full.
The nanny goat and her kid multiply — the wide pen is rich.

The day for what was destroyed to enter back into goodness —
he has set it.
[Line 260 fragmentary.]
The day for justice to be placed in the land,
to be assisted — he has brought it back.

Ki-ru-gu 9.

Kirugu 10

The day when the enemy worked an evil hand against Sumer and Akkad —
since then the heart has been calmed;
the outside has been cooled.

The great gods — at the heart's command —
opened the eye;
they went out.

The city — laid in ruin mounds —
to its place — they returned it.

Enlil — king of all lands —
has returned it to its place.

Humanity — cooled itself in fear.
Nippur — the mountain of great divine powers —
where foot had gone to a strange place —
the Anunna — by the word of Enlil —
had abandoned the house,
the storm had carried off the ancient treasury.

To enter their places —
the lords who decree fate — were told.
Within it — plants to grow abundantly —
the joyful heart — has been placed within.

Ishme-Dagan — who stands by his shining scepter in joy,
who is full of awe —
its pure plants, its pure water — was told to him.
The defiled divine powers — purified — was told to him.

The confused, scattered sacred rites — he has set them right.
The purity that had fallen, the defiled —
has been returned to its place.

The fallen standard — fresh flour heaped —
its fate has been decreed.
The table of abundant bread, bread to be multiplied —
it has brought it into its heart.

Ki-ru-gu 10.

Kirugu 11

The day when no person speaks a strange word to another,
when a child approaches its father in awe —
the day when humility is placed in the land,
from small to great and weighty —
the day when the younger brother fears his older brother,
humbles himself in awe —
the day when the older child and the younger child
sit in mastery at his word —
the day when the humble and the strong speak no evil,
when great goodness stands —
the day when on the bewildering road the foot is set
and evil grows and breaks loose —
the day when a person goes to the place of his heart's desire —

The day when no person speaks a strange word to another,
does no abominable thing —
the day when going from city to strange city —
on the steppe he does not approach in fear,
does no abominable thing —
the day when the abominable goes out of the land —
that day is placed within it —
the day when darkness rises out of the land —
the living rejoice —

Father Enlil — whose spoken word does not change —
prince of all lands —
has set the black-headed people in place.
Has spoken their well-being.

Ki-ru-gu 11.

Kirugu 12

Now — since that day —
Enlil, the noble, is filled with heart.

The young man whose brick was placed in the birth house —
he has made good for him.
The divine powers the enemy worked an evil hand against —
he has set right for him.
The defiled sacred rites — he has purified for him.
Its gi-gun4-na — he has purified for him,
he has made it shine for him.

Within it — abundance has been multiplied.
Honey-wine has filled it.

This day — the heart rejoices,
the outside hastens —
the good condition has been placed within.

He has stood before him in prayer.
The hand has been placed to the nose in reverence.

The established tears — his pronouncement of a good name —
the prince of all lands —
like clarified butter and sweet honey —
has done with it.
His prayer was heard; the eye was turned toward it.

To Ishme-Dagan — his word has been made sweet in his ear.

His faithful heir — when he goes
with the counsel spoken in his heart —
bowing, clinging to the scepter —
setting their feet there —
setting lamentation, prayer there,
putting the nose to the ground —
approaching the royal station with awe,
coming and going —
guarding everything of his, not leaving his place —
the princely, lasting, enduring name — was told to him.

The man foremost in kingship — was told to him.
The king of the good reign — was told to him.
The people sitting peacefully in their dwelling — was told to him.

The teeming people — when he goes with what has been spoken —
Sumer and Akkad — what are they now
toward the day of decreed fate —
the black-headed people — multiplied like ewes —
the bowing people —

the greatness of the great mountain Nunamnir —
the weapon of heaven and earth —
forever let it be praised.
It is the way of his awesome power.
