          Ninurta is one of the oldest Mesopotamian gods; his name is present in the lists of gods from Fara (XXVI century B.C.) [Krebernik 1986, 201]. Son of Enlil, a heroic god, on whose account are several mythological victories, including the victory over the evil demon Asag (akk. Asakku) and the Anzu bird. Ninurta is a military deity and at the same time he is the god of vegetation, fertility and agriculture. He is close to Ningirsu in character. His wife was considered to be the goddess-healer Gula or the goddess Bau (Baba), the wife of Ningirsu. He was honored in Nippur, Lagash, Kalhu and other cities of Mesopotamia. At Kalhu, Ashshur-natsir-apal II (883-859) dedicated a special temple to him near the ziggurat. See. [MNM 2, 222; Black-Green 1992, 142-143; Tallqvist 1938, 421-423].

II. Deity.

          Ninurta is one of the oldest Mesopotamian gods; his name is present in the lists of gods from Fara (XXVI century B.C.) [Krebernik 1986[12], 201]. Son of Enlil, a heroic god, on whose account are several mythological victories, including the victory over the evil demon Asag (akk. Asakku) and the Anzu bird. Ninurta is a military deity and at the same time he is the god of vegetation, fertility and agriculture. He is close to Ningirsu in character. His wife was considered to be the goddess-healer Gula or the goddess Bau (Baba), the wife of Ningirsu. He was honored in Nippur, Lagash, Kalhu and other cities of Mesopotamia. At Kalhu, Ashshur-natsir-apal II (883-859) dedicated a special temple to him near the ziggurat. See. [MNM 2[13], 222; Black-Green 1992[14], 142-143; Tallqvist 1938[15], 421-423]. Ninurta's astral history is complex and varied [Tallqvist 1938, 424]; he is associated with two planets, Mercury and Saturn, and several stars, including Sirius and Antares.

Нинурта — один из древнейших месопотамских богов; его имя присутствует в списках богов из Фары (XXVI в. до н.э.) [Krebernik 1986, 201]. Сын Энлиля, героический бог, на счету которого несколько мифологических побед в том числе над злым демоном Асагом (акк. Асакку) и птицей Анзу. Нинурта — военное божество и вместе с тем это бог растительности, плодородия и земледелия. По своему характеру он близок Нингирсу. Его женой считалась богиня-целительница Гула или богиня Бау (Баба), жена Нингирсу. Почитался в Ниппуре, Лагаше, Кальху и других городах Месопотамии. В Кальху Ашшур-нацир-апал II (883–859) посвятил ему особый храм, находившийся рядом с зиккуратом. См. [МНМ 2, 222; Black–Green 1992, 142–143; Tallqvist 1938, 421–423]. Астральная история Нинурты сложна и многообразна [Tallqvist 1938, 424], он связан с двумя планетами — Меркурием и Сатурном — и несколькими звездами, в том числе — с Сириусом и Антаресом.

IV. Астрология.

(1) Сатурн в лунном гало; DIŠ 30 TUR3 NIGIN2-ma dNIN.URTA ina ŠA3-šu2 GUB-iz / KI KUR KUR2 ERIM-ni i-kab-ba-a[s] «Если Луна окружена гало и Нинурта (= Сатурн) стоит в нем: мои войска будут топта[ть] землю врага» [ARAK, 154:5–6], см. также u09UDU.IDIM.SAG.UŠ, III 5.

(2) Сатурн при восходе Солнца; DIŠ mulUDU.IDIM ša2 dNIN.URTA MU.NE ina ši-ḫi-iṭ dUTU-ši KI 30 it-tan-˹mar˺ / KI.MIN ina IGI GU4.UD dUTU-ši KI 20 ŠU2-šu2 IGI KI.MIN KI 30 ŠU2-šu2 IGI ina itiKIN UD4.7.KAM2 lu UD4.14.KAM2 lu UD4.15.KAM2 lu UD4.16.KAM2 lu UD4.17.KAM2 A.KAL KI.MIN lúKUR2 DU-kam2 KI.MIN AN.MI «Если планета, чье имя Нинурта (= Сатурн), при восходе Солнца с Луной появляется, вар.: перед восходом Солнца на западе появляется, вар.: с Луной на западе появляется: в месяце улулу в 7-й день, либо в 14-й день, либо в 15-й день, либо в 16-й день, либо в 17-й день будет наводнение, вар.: враг придет, вар.: будет затмение» [AAT, 40:19–21; ACh Ištar, 20:20–22; TU, 16:18–19; Largement 1957, 240:18–19]. Выражение GU4.UD dUTU-šu2, букв. «Прыжок Солнца», см. также в [van Soldt 1995, 69, 26 I 1–3]. В этом предсказании речь идет, по-видимому, о Сатурне, поскольку рассматривается ситуация, когда планета видна на западе при восходе Солнца.

(3) Диск Солнца во время вечерней стражи; ˹DIŠ AŠ.ME ina EN˺.NUN dUSAN KUR-ma ana IGI-ša2 dNIN.URTA … «Если диск Солнца появляется во время вечерней стражи и Нинурта (= Меркурий?) (стоит) впереди него: растения засохнут, страна испытает беды» [van Soldt 1995, 26, Table 24 III 21, 25 Ш 7].

(4) Восход Солнца, впереди него Меркурий или Юпитер; см. s09SAG.ME.GAR, III 25.
