Come to me, Djhwty, O noble Ibis,
O ntjr Who loves Khmun;
O letter-writer of the Ennead.
Great one Who dwells in Un!
Come to me and give me counsel,
Make me skillful in Your calling;
Better is Your calling than all callings,
It makes (men) great.
He Who masters it is found fit to hold office,
I have seen many whom You have helped;
They are (now) among the Thirty*,
They are strong and rich through Your help.
You are He Who offers counsel,
Fate and Fortune are with You,
Come to me and give me counsel,
I am a servant of Your house.
Let me tell of Your valiant deeds,
Wheresoever I may be;
Then the multitudes will say:
“Great are they, the deeds of Djhwty!”
Then they’ll come and bring their children,
To assign them {to} your calling,
A calling that pleases the lord of strength,
Happy is he who performs it!
