English

There was neither non-existent nor existent then, neither darkness nor the further heaven, What moved? Where? In whose protection? Was it water, deep and profound?

There was neither death nor immortality then, neither night nor day had their appearance. That ONE breathed breathlessly with its own power; There was nothing except it.

Darkness was at first engulfed by darkness, all this was undifferentiated surging waters. When it was formless and covered by the void, by the power of heat was the One born.

Desire arose over in the beginning, that was the first seed of mind. Relation of the existent in the non-existent did the wise with wisdom found out searching in their hearts.

Their cord stretched transversely, was it down below or was it above? There were the seed-bearers, the great ones, ethos was down below and offering further away.

Who knows for sure? Who will proclaim it here? Whence was it born? Whence is this creation? The gods were after its creation, who knows who from where it arose?

From where did this creation arose, did he place it or did he not? He who supervises it from the highest heaven, surely, he knows. Or does he?
