Utu, assign a sweet destiny to the king.
- Shulgi

You have made me so happy with the news and everything. Who could give me a house-born slave such as you are? Who has such a capable man, so beneficial to his lord? From today, you are my son who makes me happy. The cities of the province, the land of the Martu, Elam -- all of them I have placed before you: you are just as important as I am. So sit before them on a throne on a golden dais! Let their messengers prostrate themselves in front of you! Remove a governor -- appoint a governor! Appoint a commander! Designate a captain-general! Certainly you should put a man to death, a man who has killed: blind the man who has killed! Build your house of manhood for an attendant who has been favourably looked upon! Make sure your recompense is great! Now, you should not suddenly alter your word about all that I have been sending to you.

Lord of all the great divine powers, borne by! Youthful Utu, lord of all the great divine powers, borne by Ningal.

Like a mace with three lion-heads, he makes the mountains tremble and then destroys the rebel lands.

You are important, but you do not even know your own soldiers. Your eyes have learnt something about these men, and about Apillaca's heroism. If you, Aradju, are indeed my servant, you should both pay attention to my written communications. Come to an understanding, you two! Secure the foundations of the provinces! It is urgent!

As I myself ordered, you were to secure the provinces, and to correctly guide the people and make them obedient. That was how I had instructed you. Why have you not acted as I ordered you?
