Gawigawen of Adasen

Tinguian

ティンギアン

Aponibolinayen was sick with a headache, and she lay on a mat alone in her house. Suddenly she remembered some fruit that she had heard of but had never seen, and she said to herself, "Oh, I wish I had some of the oranges of Gawigawen of Adasen."

アポニボリナイエンは頭が痛くて具合が悪く、家でひとり蓆の上に横になっていた。不意に、話に聞いたことはあるが一度も見たことのない果物を思い出して、ひとりごとを言った。「ああ、アダセンのガウィガウェンの柑子がほしい。」

Now Aponibolinayen did not realize that she had spoken aloud, but Aponitolau, her husband, lying in the spirit house [30] outside, heard her talking and asked what it was she said. Fearing to tell him the truth lest he should risk his life in trying to get the oranges for her, she said: "I wish I had some biw" (a fruit).

さて、アポニボリナイエンは自分が声に出して言ったと気づいていなかった。けれども夫のアポニトラウは、外の霊屋 [30] に横になっていて、妻が話しているのを聞き、何と言ったのかと尋ねた。柑子を取ろうとして命を危うくさせてはいけないと思って本当のことを告げるのが恐ろしかったので、彼女は言った。「ビウ(果物の名)がほしいのです。」

Aponitolau at once got up, and, taking a sack, went out to find some of the fruit for his wife. When he returned with the sack full, she said:

アポニトラウはすぐに起き上がり、袋を持って妻のためにその果物を探しに出かけた。袋を満たして帰ってくると、妻は言った。

"Put it on the bamboo hanger above the fire, and when my head is better I will eat it."

「火の上の竹の吊り棚に置いてください。頭がよくなったら食べます。」

So Aponitolau put the fruit on the hanger and returned to the spirit house, but when Aponibolinayen tried to eat, the fruit made her sick and she threw it away.

そこでアポニトラウは果物を吊り棚に置いて霊屋へ戻った。けれどもアポニボリナイエンが食べようとすると、その果物は気分を悪くさせたので、彼女はそれを投げ捨てた。

"What is the matter?" called Aponitolau as he heard her drop the fruit.

「どうかしたのか」と、果物を落とす音を聞いてアポニトラウが呼びかけた。

"I merely dropped one," she replied, and returned to her mat.

「一つ落としただけです」と彼女は答えて、蓆に戻った。

After a while Aponibolinayen again said:

しばらくして、アポニボリナイエンはまた言った。

"Oh, I wish I had some of the oranges of Gawigawen of Adasen," and Aponitolau, who heard her from the spirit house, inquired:

「ああ、アダセンのガウィガウェンの柑子がほしい。」すると霊屋からそれを聞いたアポニトラウが尋ねた。

"What is that you say?"

「何と言ったのだ。」

"I wish I had some fish eggs," answered his wife; for she did not want him to know the truth.

「魚の卵がほしいのです」と妻は答えた。本当のことを知られたくなかったからである。

Then Aponitolau took his net and went to the river, determined to please his wife if possible. When he had caught a nice fish he opened it with his knife and took out the eggs. Then he spat on the place he had cut, and it was healed and the fish swam away. [31]

そこでアポニトラウは網を取って川へ行った。できるなら妻を喜ばせようと心に決めていたのである。よい魚を捕ると、小刀で腹を開いて卵を取り出した。それから切ったところに唾をつけると、傷は癒えて魚は泳いでいった。[31]

Pleased that he was able to gratify his wife's wishes, he hastened home with the eggs; and while his wife was roasting them over the fire, he returned to the spirit house. She tried to eat, but the eggs did not taste good to her, and she threw them down under the house to the dogs.

妻の望みをかなえられたのが嬉しくて、彼は卵を持って家へ急いだ。そして妻が火の上でそれを焼いているあいだ、霊屋へ戻った。妻は食べようとしたけれども、卵はうまく感じられず、そこで家の下の犬へ投げ落とした。

"What is the matter?" called Aponitolau. "Why are the dogs barking?"

「どうかしたのか」とアポニトラウが呼びかけた。「なぜ犬が吠えているのだ。」

"I dropped some of the eggs," replied his wife, and she went back to her mat.

「卵をいくつか落としたのです」と妻は答え、蓆へ戻った。

By and by she again said:

やがて彼女はまた言った。

"I wish I had some of the oranges of Gawigawen of Adasen."

「アダセンのガウィガウェンの柑子がほしい。」

But when her husband asked what she wished, she replied:

けれども夫が何がほしいのかと尋ねると、彼女は答えた。

"I want a deer's liver to eat"

「鹿の肝を食べたいのです。」

So Aponitolau took his dogs to the mountains, where they hunted until they caught a deer, and when he had cut out its liver he spat on the wound, and it was healed so that the deer ran away.

そこでアポニトラウは犬を連れて山へ行き、鹿を捕るまで狩りをした。そして肝を切り出したあと傷に唾をつけると、傷は癒えて鹿は走っていった。

But Aponibolinayen could not eat the liver any more than she could the fruit or the fish eggs; and when Aponitolau heard the dogs barking, he knew that she had thrown it away. Then he grew suspicious and, changing himself into a centipede, [32] hid in a crack in the floor. And when his wife again wished for some of the oranges, he overheard her.

けれどもアポニボリナイエンは、果物も魚の卵も食べられなかったのと同じで、肝も食べられなかった。そしてアポニトラウが犬の吠える声を聞いたとき、妻がそれを投げ捨てたのだと分かった。それから彼は疑い始め、自分を百足に変えて [32] 床の割れ目に隠れた。そして妻がまた柑子をほしいと言ったとき、それを聞いた。

"Why did you not tell me the truth, Aponibolinayen?" he asked.

「なぜ本当のことを言わなかったのだ、アポニボリナイエン」と彼は尋ねた。

"Because," she replied, "no one Who has gone to Adasen has ever come back, and I did not want you to risk your life."

「だって」と彼女は答えた。「アダセンへ行った者は誰も帰ってきたことがなく、そしてわたしはあなたに命を危うくさせたくなかったのです。」

Nevertheless Aponitolau determined to go for the oranges, and he commanded his wife to bring him rice straw. After he had burned it he put the ashes in the water with which he washed his hair. [33] Then she brought cocoanut oil and rubbed his hair, and fetched a dark clout, a fancy belt, and a head-band, and she baked cakes for him to take on the journey. Aponitolau cut a vine [34] which he planted by the stove, [35] and told his wife that if the leaves wilted she would know that he was dead. Then he took his spear and head-ax [36] and started on the long journey.

それでもアポニトラウは柑子を取りに行くと決め、妻に稲藁を持ってこいと命じた。それを焼いたあと、灰を水に入れ、その水で髪を洗った。[33] それから妻は椰子の油を持ってきて髪にすり込み、暗い色の腰布と飾りのある帯と鉢巻を取ってきて、そして旅に持っていく菓子を焼いた。アポニトラウはつる草 [34] を切ってそれを竈 [35] のかたわらに植え、そして葉が萎れたら自分が死んだと分かるだろうと妻に告げた。それから槍と首斬り斧 [36] を取って、長い旅に出かけた。

When Aponitolau arrived at the well of a giantess, all the betel-nut trees bowed. Then the giantess shouted and all the world trembled. "How strange," thought Aponitolau, "that all the world shakes when that woman shouts." But he continued on his way without stopping.

アポニトラウが女の巨人の井戸に着くと、ビンロウの木がみな身を屈めた。それから女の巨人が叫び、そして世のすべてが震えた。「妙なことだ」とアポニトラウは思った。「あの女が叫ぶと世のすべてが揺れるとは。」けれども彼は止まらずに道を続けた。

As he passed the place of the old woman, Alokotan, she sent out her little dog and it bit his leg.

老女アロコタンの場所を通ると、老女は小さな犬を出して、犬は彼の脚に噛みついた。

"Do not proceed," said the old woman, "for ill luck awaits you. If you go on, you will never return to your home."

「先へ行くな」と老女は言った。「悪い運があなたを待っている。行けば、決して家へ帰れないだろう。」

But Aponitolau paid no attention to the old woman, and by and by he came to the home of the lightning.

けれどもアポニトラウは老女に注意を払わず、やがて雷光の家に着いた。

"Where are you going?" asked the lightning.

「どこへ行くのか」と雷光が尋ねた。

"I am going to get some oranges of Gawigawen of Adasen," replied Aponitolau.

「アダセンのガウィガウェンの柑子を取りに行くのだ」とアポニトラウは答えた。

"Go stand on that high rock that I may see what your sign is," commanded the lightning.

「あの高い岩の上に立て。あなたの兆しがどうか見てやろう」と雷光は命じた。

So he stood on the high rock, but when the lightning flashed Aponitolau dodged.

そこで彼は高い岩の上に立った。けれども雷光が閃くと、アポニトラウは身をかわした。

"Do not go," said the lightning, "for you have a bad sign, and you will never come back."

「行くな」と雷光は言った。「あなたの兆しは悪い。そして決して帰ってこないだろう。」

Still Aponitolau did not heed.

それでもアポニトラウは心に留めなかった。

Soon he arrived at the place of Silit (loud thunder), [37] who also asked him:

ほどなく彼はシリット(大きな雷鳴)[37] の場所に着いた。そしてシリットもまた彼に尋ねた。

"Where are you going, Aponitolau?"

「どこへ行くのか、アポニトラウ。」

"I am going to get oranges of Gawigawen of Adasen," he replied.

「アダセンのガウィガウェンの柑子を取りに行くのだ」と彼は答えた。

Then the thunder commanded:

すると雷は命じた。

"Stand on that high stone so that I can see if you have a good sign."

「あの高い石の上に立て。よい兆しがあるかどうか見てやろう。」

He stood on the high stone, and when the thunder made a loud noise he jumped. Whereupon Silit also advised him not to go on.

彼は高い石の上に立った。そして雷が大きな音を立てると、彼は跳び上がった。そこでシリットもまた、行かないようにと忠告した。

In spite of all the warnings, Aponitolau continued his journey, and upon coming to the ocean he used magical power, so that when he stepped on his head-ax it sailed away, carrying him far across the sea to the other side. Then after a short walk he came to a spring where women were dipping water, and he asked what spring it was.

あらゆる警めにもかかわらず、アポニトラウは旅を続けた。そして大海に来ると不思議な力を使い、それで自分の首斬り斧に乗ると、斧は帆走して彼を海のはるか向こう側へ運んだ。それから少し歩くと、女たちが水を汲んでいる泉に着き、これは何の泉かと尋ねた。

"This is the spring of Gawigawen of Adasen," replied the women. "And who are you that you dare come here?"

「これはアダセンのガウィガウェンの泉です」と女たちは答えた。「そしてあなたは誰ですか。よくここへ来る勇気がありましたね。」

Without replying he went on toward the town, but he found that he could not go inside, for it was surrounded by a bank which reached almost to the sky.

答えずに彼は村へ向かって進んだ。けれども中へは入れないと分かった。村はほとんど天に届くほどの土手で囲まれていたのである。

While he stood with bowed head pondering what he should do, the chief of the spiders came up and asked why he was so sorrowful.

頭を垂れて、どうしたものかと思い巡らしながら立っていると、蜘蛛の長がやって来て、なぜそれほど悲しんでいるのかと尋ねた。

"I am sad," answered Aponitolau, "because I cannot climb up this bank."

「わたしが悲しいのは」とアポニトラウは答えた。「この土手を登れないからだ。」

Then the spider went to the top and spun a thread, [38] and upon this Aponitolau climbed up into town.

すると蜘蛛は頂へ行って糸を紡ぎ、[38] そしてそれを伝ってアポニトラウは村へ登った。

Now Gawigawen was asleep in his spirit house, and when he awoke and saw Aponitolau sitting near, he was surprised and ran toward his house to get his spear and head-ax, but Aponitolau called to him, saying:

さてガウィガウェンは自分の霊屋で眠っていた。そして目を覚まして近くに座っているアポニトラウを見ると、驚いて槍と首斬り斧を取るために家へ走った。けれどもアポニトラウは呼びかけて言った。

"Good morning, Cousin Gawigawen. Do not be angry; I only came to buy some of your oranges for my wife."

「おはよう、従兄弟のガウィガウェン。腹を立てないでくれ。わたしは妻のためにあなたの柑子を買いに来ただけだ。」

Then Gawigawen took him to the house and brought a whole carabao [39] for him to eat, and he said:

それからガウィガウェンは彼を家へ連れていき、食べるためにカラバオ [39] を丸ごと持ってきて、そして言った。

"If you cannot eat all the carabao, you cannot have the oranges for your wife."

「このカラバオを全部食べられないなら、あなたの妻のための柑子は手に入らない。」

Aponitolau grew very sorrowful, for he knew that he could not eat all the meat, but just at that moment the chief of the ants and flies came to him and inquired what was the trouble. As soon as he was told, the chief called all the ants and flies and they ate the whole carabao. Aponitolau, greatly relieved, went then to Gawigawen and said:

アポニトラウはたいそう悲しくなった。その肉を全部食べられないと分かっていたからである。けれどもまさにその折に、蟻と蠅の長が彼のもとへ来て、何が困りごとなのかと尋ねた。告げられるとすぐに、長はすべての蟻と蠅を呼び、そして彼らはカラバオを丸ごと食べてしまった。アポニトラウはたいそう安堵して、それからガウィガウェンのもとへ行って言った。

"I have finished eating the food which you gave me."

「あなたがくれた食べ物を食べ終えた。」

Gawigawen was greatly surprised at this, and, leading the way to the place where the oranges grew, he told Aponitolau to climb the tree and get all he wanted.

ガウィガウェンはこれにたいそう驚いた。そして柑子が生えている場所へ案内して、アポニトラウに木に登ってほしいだけ取るようにと言った。

As he was about to ascend the tree Aponitolau noticed that the branches were sharp knives, so he went as carefully as he could. Nevertheless, when he had secured two oranges, he stepped on one of the knives and was cut. He quickly fastened the fruit to his spear, and immediately it flew away straight to his town and into his house.

木に登ろうとしたとき、アポニトラウは枝が鋭い刃物であることに気づいた。そこでできるだけ気をつけて登った。それでも柑子を二つ手にしたとき、刃物の一つを踏んで切られた。彼は急いでその果物を槍に結わえつけ、するとたちまち槍は飛んでいって、まっすぐ自分の村の自分の家へ入っていった。

Aponibolinayen was just going down the bamboo ladder out of the house, and hearing something drop on the floor she went back to look and found the oranges from Adasen. She eagerly ate the fruit, rejoicing that her husband had been able to reach the place where they grew. Then she thought to look at the vine, whose leaves were wilted, and she knew that her husband was dead.

アポニボリナイエンはちょうど竹の梯子を降りて家から出るところだった。そして何かが床に落ちる音を聞いて戻って見ると、アダセンの柑子を見つけた。夫があれが生えている場所に着けたことを喜んで、彼女は夢中でその果物を食べた。それからあのつる草を見ようと思うと、その葉は萎れていて、そして彼女は夫が死んだと知った。

Soon after this a son was born to Aponibolinayen, and she called his name Kanag. He grew rapidly, becoming a strong lad, and he was the bravest of all his companions. One day while Kanag was playing out in the yard, he spun his top and it struck the garbage pot of an old woman, who became very angry and cried:

それからほどなく、アポニボリナイエンに息子が生まれ、彼女はその名をカナグと呼んだ。息子は速く育って強い若者になり、そして仲間のうちで最も勇ましかった。ある日、カナグが庭で遊んでいたとき、独楽を回すとそれが老女の生ごみの壺に当たった。老女はたいそう腹を立てて叫んだ。

"If you were a brave boy, you would get your father whom Gawigawen killed."

「もしおまえが勇ましい子なら、ガウィガウェンが殺したおまえの父を取り戻しに行くだろうに。」

Kanag ran to the house crying, and asked his mother what the old woman meant, for he had never heard the story of his father's death. As soon as he learned what had happened, the boy determined to search for his father, and, try as she would, his mother could not dissuade him.

カナグは泣きながら家へ走り、あの老女は何を言っているのかと母に尋ねた。父の死の話を一度も聞いたことがなかったからである。何が起こったのかを知るとすぐに、この子は父を探しに行くと決めた。そして母はどうやっても思い直させることができなかった。

As he was departing through the gate of the town with his spear and head-ax, Kanag struck his shield and it sounded like a thousand warriors.

槍と首斬り斧を持って村の門を出ていくとき、カナグは盾を打った。すると千人の戦士のような音がした。

"How brave that boy is!" said the surprised people. "He is braver even than his father."

「なんと勇ましい子だ」と人々は驚いて言った。「父よりもさらに勇ましい。」

When he reached the spring of the giantess, he again struck his shield and shouted so that the whole world trembled. Then the giantess said:

女の巨人の泉に着くと、彼はまた盾を打って叫び、そして世のすべてが震えた。それから女の巨人は言った。

"I believe that someone is going to fight, and he will have success."

「誰かが戦いに行くのだと思う。そしてその者は首尾よくいくだろう。」

As soon as Kanag reached the place where the old woman, Alokotan, lived, she sent her dog after him, but with one blow of his head-ax he cut off the dog's head. Then Alokotan asked where he was going, and when he had told her, she said:

カナグが老女アロコタンの住む場所に着くとすぐに、老女は犬を彼に差し向けた。けれども彼は首斬り斧のひと打ちで犬の首を切り落とした。それからアロコタンはどこへ行くのかと尋ね、そして彼が告げると、こう言った。

"Your father is dead, but I believe that you will find him, for you have a good sign."

「あなたの父は死んでいる。けれどもあなたはきっと父を見つけるだろう。よい兆しがあるからだ。」

He hurried on and arrived at the place where lightning was, and it asked:

彼は急いで進み、雷光のいる場所に着いた。すると雷光は尋ねた。

"Where are you going, little boy?"

「どこへ行くのか、小さな子よ。」

"I am going to Adasen to get my father," answered Kanag.

「父を取り戻すためにアダセンへ行くのだ」とカナグは答えた。

"Go stand on that high rock that I may see what your sign is," said the lightning.

「あの高い岩の上に立て。あなたの兆しがどうか見てやろう」と雷光は言った。

So he stood on the high rock, and when the bright flash came he did not move, and the lightning bade him hasten on, as he had a good sign.

そこで彼は高い岩の上に立った。そして明るい閃きが来たとき彼は動かず、そして雷光は、よい兆しがあるから急いで行くようにと言った。

The thunder, which saw him passing, also called to ask where he was going, and it commanded him to stand on the high rock. And when the thunder made a loud noise Kanag did not move, and it bade him go on, as his sign was good.

彼が通るのを見た雷もまた、どこへ行くのかと呼びかけて尋ね、そして高い岩の上に立つよう命じた。そして雷が大きな音を立てたときカナグは動かず、そして雷は、兆しがよいから行くようにと言った。

The women of Adasen were at the spring of Gawigawen dipping water, when suddenly they were startled by a great noise. They rose up, expecting to see a thousand warriors coming near; but though they looked all around they could see nothing but a young boy striking a shield.

アダセンの女たちがガウィガウェンの泉で水を汲んでいると、不意に大きな物音に驚かされた。女たちは立ち上がり、千人の戦士が近づいてくるのを見るものと思った。けれどもあたりを見回しても、盾を打っている一人の若い子のほかには何も見えなかった。

"Good morning, women who are dipping water," said Kanag. "Tell Gawigawen that he must prepare, for I am coming to fight him."

「おはよう、水を汲む女たちよ」とカナグは言った。「ガウィガウェンに、支度をしなければならないと伝えよ。わたしは戦いに来たのだ。」

So all the women ran up to the town and told Gawigawen that a strange boy was at the spring and he had come to fight.

そこで女たちはみな村へ駆け上がり、見知らぬ子が泉にいて戦いに来たとガウィガウェンに告げた。

"Go and tell him," said Gawigawen, "that if it is true that he is brave, he will come into the town, if he can."

「行って伝えよ」とガウィガウェンは言った。「本当に勇ましいなら、できるものなら村の中へ入って来い、と。」

When Kanag reached the high bank outside the town, he jumped like a flitting bird up the bank into the town and went straight to the spirit house of Gawigawen. He noticed that the roofs of both the dwelling and the spirit houses were of hair, and that around the town were many heads, [40] and he pondered:

カナグが村の外の高い土手に着くと、ひらひら飛ぶ鳥のように土手を跳び上がって村に入り、そしてまっすぐガウィガウェンの霊屋へ行った。彼は住まいと霊屋の両方の屋根が髪でできていることに気づき、そして村の周りに数多くの首があるのを見て、[40] 思い巡らした。

"This is why my father did not return. Gawigawen is a brave man, but I will kill him."

「これが父が帰らなかったわけだ。ガウィガウェンは勇ましい男だ。けれどもわたしはこれを殺そう。」

As soon as Gawigawen saw him in the yard he said:

ガウィガウェンは庭に彼を見るとすぐに言った。

"How brave you are, little boy; why did you come here?"

「なんと勇ましいことだ、小さな子よ。なぜここへ来たのか。」

"I came to get my father," answered Kanag; "for you kept him when he came to get oranges for my mother. If you do not give him to me, I will kill you."

「父を取り戻しに来た」とカナグは答えた。「あなたは、父が母のために柑子を取りに来たときに引き留めたのだから。父をわたしに渡さないなら、わたしはあなたを殺す。」

Gawigawen laughed at this brave speech and said:

ガウィガウェンはこの勇ましい言葉を笑って言った。

"Why, one of my fingers will fight you. You shall never go back to your town, but you shall stay here and be like your father."

「なんと、わたしの指の一本がおまえと戦ってやろう。おまえは決して自分の村へ帰れず、ここに留まって父のようになるのだ。」

"We shall see," said Kanag. "Bring your arms and let us fight here in the yard."

「それは見てみよう」とカナグは言った。「武器を持ってこい。そしてここ、この庭で戦おう。」

Gawigawen was beside himself with rage at this bold speech, and he brought his spear and his head-ax which was as big as half the sky. Kanag would not throw first, for he wanted to prove himself brave, so Gawigawen took aim and threw his head-ax at the boy. Now Kanag used magical power, so that he became an ant and was not hit by the weapon. Gawigawen laughed loudly when he looked around and could not see the boy, for he thought that he had been killed. Soon, however, Kanag reappeared, standing on the head-ax, and Gawigawen, more furious than ever, threw his spear. Again Kanag disappeared, and Gawigawen was filled with surprise.

ガウィガウェンはこの大胆な言葉に怒りで我を忘れ、そして槍と、天の半分ほどもある首斬り斧を持ってきた。カナグは先に投げようとしなかった。自分が勇ましいことを示したかったからである。そこでガウィガウェンは狙いをつけて、首斬り斧をこの子へ投げた。するとカナグは不思議な力を使って蟻になり、その武器に当たらなかった。ガウィガウェンはあたりを見回して子が見えないので、大声で笑った。殺したと思ったからである。けれどもほどなくカナグは首斬り斧の上に立って現れ直し、そしてガウィガウェンはいままでにないほど激しく怒って槍を投げた。またカナグは消え、そしてガウィガウェンは驚きに満たされた。

Then it was Kanag's turn and his spear went directly through the body of the giant. He ran quickly and cut off five of the heads, [41] but the sixth he spared until Gawigawen should have shown him his father.

それからカナグの番になり、その槍はまっすぐこの巨人の体を貫いた。彼は素早く走って五つの首を切り落とした。[41] けれども六つめは、ガウィガウェンが父を見せるまで残しておいた。

As they went about the town together, Kanag found that the skin of his father had been used for a drum-head. His hair decorated the house, and his head was at the gate of the town, while his body was put beneath the house. After he had gathered all the parts of the body together, Kanag used magical power, and his father came to life.

二人でともに村を回っているうちに、カナグは父の皮が太鼓の皮に使われていることを見つけた。その髪は家を飾り、その首は村の門にあり、そしてその胴は家の下に置かれていた。体のすべての部分を集めたあと、カナグは不思議な力を使い、そして父は生き返った。

"Who are you?" asked Aponitolau; "how long have I slept?"

「あなたは誰だ」とアポニトラウは尋ねた。「わたしはどれほど眠っていたのか。」

"I am your son," said Kanag. "You were not asleep but dead, and here is Gawigawen who kept you. Take my head-ax and cut off his remaining head."

「わたしはあなたの息子です」とカナグは言った。「あなたは眠っていたのではなく、死んでいたのです。そしてここにいるのが、あなたを引き留めていたガウィガウェンです。わたしの首斬り斧を取って、残っている首を切り落としてください。」

So Aponitolau took the head-ax, but when he struck Gawigawen it did not injure him.

そこでアポニトラウは首斬り斧を取った。けれどもガウィガウェンを打っても、傷つけることができなかった。

"What is the matter, Father?" asked Kanag; and taking the weapon he cut off the sixth head of Gawigawen.

「どうしたのです、父上」とカナグは尋ねた。そしてその武器を取って、ガウィガウェンの六つめの首を切り落とした。

Then Kanag and his father used magic so that the spears and head-axes flew about, killing all the people in the town, and the heads and valuable things went to their home.

それからカナグと父は不思議な力を使い、それで槍と首斬り斧が飛び回って村のすべての人を殺し、そして首と値打ちのある品々は二人の家へ行った。

When Aponibolinayen saw all these come into her house, she ran to look at the vine by the stove, and it was green and looked like a jungle. Then she knew that her son was alive, and she was happy. And when the father and son returned, all the relatives came to their house for a great feast, and all were so happy that the whole world smiled.

アポニボリナイエンがこれらすべてが自分の家に入ってくるのを見たとき、竈のかたわらのつる草を見に走った。そしてそれは緑で、密林のように見えた。それから彼女は息子が生きていると知って、幸せになった。そして父と息子が帰ってくると、身内がみな二人の家へ大きな宴のために来て、そしてみながあまりに幸せだったので、世のすべてが笑った。
