Šalāsh kamkammātim ana šarri elpātim- Three rings for the kings of the Elpātim,

Ana bēlī seḫrūtim, kamkammātim sebûm- For the lords of the Small Ones, rings seven,

Tiše ana awīlī, šunu ša imuttū- Nine for men, those who will fall,

Ištēt ana bēlim eli da’ummim kussīšu- One for the lord on his dark throne.

Ištēt ana bêlim- One for the ruling,

Ištēt ana ḫarāšim- One for the binding,

Ištēt ana gamārim, u ina da'umim e'elim- One for the bringing, and binding in darkness,

Ina mātim ša Murdur, ēma ṣillī nīlū- In the land of Mordor, where the shadows have slept.
