  the king of Upper and Lower Egypt, Makare, the holy image of Amun whom he wished to be upon his seat, he has made to flourish [lit. has made green] for her the inheritance of the two lands, the kingship of Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt, he has given to her that which the sun encircles and that which Geb and Nut envelop; there are no enemies of hers among the southeners, there are no opponents of hers with the northerners; the heaven and all foreign lands created by the god, they serve her wholly, they come to her with fearing hearts, their chiefs are bowing the head, their tribute on their backs, they present [some] from their children to her, seeking that might be given to them of the breath of life through the greatness of the might of her father Amun, who has placed all lands under her soles.

  Note: The proper noun ^mAat-kA-^ra, "Makare", is not included in the vocabulary; see an occurrence however on p. 412. Translation of swAD by "make to flourish" in Faulkner. For sb-tw ..., see p. 136, last example but one.
