|
| two men with elk-hide collars, |

|
|
|
|
|
| What kind of counsel are you holding? |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| We are taking counsel on our earlier valor in hunting game |

| [forest otter born in the woods] |
| 7 |
|
|
|
| [water otter rising from the water] |
| 8 |
|
|
|
|
| How shall one kill the forest otter born in the woods or the water otter rising from the water with counsel? |
| 9 |
|
|
|
|
|
| I throw a fire-burned fiery piece of wood into the air, |
| 10 |
|
|
|
| by the time it falls to the ground |
| 11 |
|
|
|
|
| I hit it three times with an arrow. |
| 12 |
|
|
|
| [fire-burned fiery piece of wood] |
| 13 |
|
|
|
|
|
| And is it speedier than a fire-burned fiery piece of wood? |
| 14 |
|
|
|
|
|
| In the billowing fall now coming |
| 15 |
|
|
|
|
| in the frosty fall now coming |
| 16 |
|
|
|
|
|
| I will reach the number thousand of animals I've killed. |
| 17 |
|
|
|
|
|
| What sort of clawless thing have you found? |
| 18 |
|
|
|
|
| What sort of fangless thing have you found? |
| 19 |
|
|
|
| By my grandfather, the heavenly god |
| 20 |
|
|
|
| I was determined to be a clawed one, |
| 21 |
|
|
|
| I was determined to be a fanged one. |
| 22 |
|
|

|
|
| [my game-biting, doom-bringing heart] |

| 24 |
|
|
|
|
|
| [It feels as if a larch-wood pole were piercing] |
| 25 |
|
|
|
|
|
| It feels as if a larch-wood pole, a fir-wood pole were piercing my game-biting, doom-bringing heart, my elk-biting doom-bringing heart. |
| 26 |
|
|
|
|
| I know Kois's sable-hunting path |
| 27 |
|
|
|
| [I know] |
| 28 |
|
|
|
|
| I know Kois's squirrel-hunting path |
| 29 |
|
|
|
| [I know]. |
| 30 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| I sat down on Kois's squirrely squirrel-hunting path, |
| 31 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| I sat down on his sable-hunting path. |
| 32 |
|
|
|
| A snowflake fell |
| 33 |
|
|
|
| I sensed, it was winter, |
| 34 |
|
|
|
| A raindrop fell |
| 35 |
|
|
|
| I sensed it was summer. |
| 36 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| I sat for a short time or I sat for a long time, |
| 37 |
|
|
|
|
|
| Suddenly Kois's two rod-tailed ones appeared. |
| 38 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| I repressed my big game-smell, |
| 39 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| I repressed my big elk-smell. |
| 40 |
|
|
|
|
|
| There is no hollow in the roots of a fallen tree the two did not sniff at, |
| 41 |
|
|
|
|
|
| There is no earth-mound pit the two did not sniff at. |
| 42 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| When I looked after a bit, Kois appeared. |
| 43 |
|
|
|
|
|
| There is no hollow in the roots of a fallen tree he does not look at, |
| 44 |
|
|
|
|
|
| There is no earth-mound pit he does not look at. |
| 45 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| He truly seems to be a killer of game, |
| 46 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| He truly seems to be a killer of elk. |
| 47 |
|
|
|
| [by the uppermost tree branches] |
| 48 |
|
|
|
| His head is washed by the uppermost tree branches, |
| 49 |
|
|
|
| [by the middle tree branches] |
| 50 |
|
|
|
| His head is combed by the middle tree branches, |
| 51 |
|
|
|
| [by the lowest tree branches] |
| 52 |
|
|
|
| His head is braided by the lowest tree branches. |
| 53 |
|
|
|
| [his seven weapons] |
| 54 |
|
|
|
| I forgot to count his seven weapons. |
| 55 |
|
|
|
| [with the big jump of an animal] |
| 56 |
|
|
|
| I sprang past him with the big jump of an animal, |
| 57 |
|
|
|
| [with the big jump of an elk] |
| 58 |
|
|
|
| I sprang past him with the big jump of an elk. |
| 59 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| I sat down in the direction facing Kois. |
| 60 |
|
|
|
|
|
| I sat about for a short or a long time, |
| 61 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| the two rod-tailed ones as big as a she-lynx appeared, |
| 62 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| the two rod-tailed ones as big as a male lynx appeared. |
| 63 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| I repressed my big game-smell, |
| 64 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| I repressed my big elk-smell. |
| 65 |
|
|
|
|
|
| There is no hollow in the roots of a fallen tree the two did not sniff at, |
| 66 |
|
|
|
|
|
| There is no earth-mound pit the two did not sniff at. |
| 67 |
|
|
|
|
| After a time Kois appeared. |
| 68 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| His head is washed by the uppermost tree branches. |
| 69 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| His head is combed by the middle tree branches, |
| 70 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| His head is braided by the lowest tree branches. |
| 71 |
|
|
|
|
|
| There is no hollow in the roots of a fallen tree he does not look at, |
| 72 |
|
|
|
|
|
| there is no earth mound pit he does not look at. |
| 73 |
|
|
|
|
|
| He truly is an elk-killer, |
| 74 |
|
|
|
|
|
| he truly is a game-killer. |
| 75 |
|
|
|
|
|
| By the time I counted his seven weapons |
| 76 |
|
|
|
|
|
| I had remained three trees behind. |
| 77 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| I sprang past him with the big jump of an animal |
| 78 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| I sprang past him with the big jump of an elk. |
| 79 |
|
|
|
|
|
| I unloosed my big game-smell |
| 80 |
|
|
|
|
|
| I unloosed my big elk-smell. |
| 81 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| I tremble like a precious dog which has eaten frozen fish |
| 82 |
|
|
|
| [I tremble]. |
| 83 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The two rod-tailed ones as big as a she-lynx appeared |
| 84 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| the two rod-tailed ones as big as a male lynx appeared. |
| 85 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| They started to bark with the big voice of game |
| 86 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| they started to bark with the big voice of elk. |
| 87 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Kois cried out: Damn it to hell! |
| 88 |
|
|
|
| In your previous lives |
| 89 |
|
|
|
|
|
| you found nothing to fear, |
| 90 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| what have you now found to fear so much? |
| 91 |
|
|
| When Kois appeared |
| 92 |
|
|
|
|
|
| his seven weapons had already struck |
| 93 |
|
|
|
|
|
| but I didn't even notice. |
| 94 |
|
|
|
| [my empty cheek-bottom] |
| 95 |
|
|
|
| Only my empty cheek-bottom was cut. |
| 96 |
|
|
|
|
| When Kois steps up, he says, |
| 97 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| In the lifetime of an aged man, in the lifetime of an old man |
| 98 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| the big game-claws of my uncle have not come together, |
| 99 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| the big elk-claws have not come together. |
| 100 |
|
|
|
|
|
| Now they have struck. |
| 101 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| He took out his big hip-axe, |
| 102 |
|
|
|
| When he struck with it |
| 103 |
|
|
|
| [my empty cheek-bottom] |
| 104 |
|
|
|
| only my empty cheek-bottom was cut. |
| 105 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| He took out his big knife that he carried at his hip. |
| 106 |
|
|
|
|
| When he thrust at me |
| 107 |
|
|
|
| [my empty cheek-bottom] |
| 108 |
|
|
|
| only my empty cheek-bottom was cut. |
| 109 |
|
|
|
|
| When Kois cries out, he says, |
| 110 |
|
|
|
|
|
| When the sun arose we started to struggle |
| 111 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| which of us will sink to the ground at the setting of the sun? |
| 112 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| If the ground is even |
| 113 |
|
|
|
|
| we will now make it notched and pitted, |
| 114 |
|
|
|
|
| if there was thick forest |
| 115 |
|
|
|
| we'll clear it, |
| 116 |
|
|
|
|
| if there is a forest full of scrub |
| 117 |
|
|
|
| we'll clear it from scrub, |
| 118 |
|
|
|
|
| if the forest is without scrub |
| 119 |
|
|
|
| we'll fill it with scrub. |
| 120 |
|
|
| [my grandfather, the heavenly god] |
| 121 |
|
|
|
| When my grandfather, the heavenly god, determined that I be lowered |
| 122 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| he determined that I be strong, he determined that I be powerful. |
| 123 |
|
|
|
|
|
| [Kois] [his thousand-game number] |
| 124 |
|
|
|
|
| Will Kois complete his thousand-game number with me? |
| 125 |
|
|
|
|
| We peel the bark of dry trees |
| 126 |
|
|
|
|
| We peel the bark of fresh trees. |
| 127 |
|
|
| When I listen to myself |
| 128 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| I can feel that my hind quarters have become heavy. |
| 129 |
|
|
| [to my grandfather, the heavenly god] |
| 130 |
|
|
|
|
|
| When I raise my two-edged little eyes to my grandfather, the heavenly god, |
| 131 |
|
|
|
|
|
| my two-edged little eyes flowed with tears, |
| 132 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| My grandfather, the heavenly god [a thirty-fingered man of fingers] |
| 133 |
|
|
|
| determined me to be a thirty-fingered man of fingers, |
| 134 |
|
|
|
|
|
| he determined me to be a twenty-fingered man of fingers. |
| 135 |
|
|
|
| Will Kois [with me] |
| 136 |
|
|
|
|
|
| complete his thousand game-number with me? |
| 137 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| My grandfather, the heavenly god, can be heard crying down, |
| 138 |
|
|
|
|
| I determined you |
| 139 |
|
|
|
|
| to be a seven-thoughted man of thoughts, |
| 140 |
|
|
|
| I determined you |
| 141 |
|
|
|
|
| to be a six-thoughted man of thoughts. |
| 142 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Why do your thoughts not turn thus? |
| 143 |
|
|
|
|
| [to his big knapsack worn on his back] |
| 144 |
|
|
|
| Lead him there to his big knapsack he wears on his back. |
| 145 |
|
|
|
|
|
| [in the shoulder straps of the big knapsack he wears on his back] |
| 146 |
|
|
|
|
| Entangle his legs there in the shoulder straps of the big knapsack he wears on his back. |
| 147 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Then you can strike Kois down. |
| 148 |
|
|
|
|
| I entangled his legs there, |
| 149 |
|
|
|
|
| I struck him down. |
| 150 |
|
|
|
| I ripped off one of his hipbones |
| 151 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| When I threw it into the air (I asked), does Kois have anyone to avenge him or anything? |
| 152 |
|
|
| Kois's hipbone |
| 153 |
|
|
|
|
| [like a red-bottomed woodpecker] |
| 154 |
|
|
|
|
| went up and come down like a red-bottomed woodpecker |
| 155 |
|
|
| and says, |
| 156 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Kois has two sons to seek revenge, |
| 157 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| You won't escape from above, you won't escape from below. |
| 158 |
|
|
|
|
| Where should I go? |
| 159 |
|
|
|
|
| I sat down on the same place. |
| 160 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| I sit for a short time, or I sit for a long time. |
| 161 |
|
|
|
| Suddenly I look: |
| 162 |
|
|
|
|
|
| Kois's two rod-tailed ones as big as a she-lynx |
| 163 |
|
|
|
| come running. |
| 164 |
|
|
| They ran about. |
| 165 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| With a big game-voice, with a big elk-voice |
| 166 |
|
|
|
| they started to bark. |
| 167 |
|
|
|
|
|
| Suddenly Kois's two sons appeared. |
| 168 |
|
|
|
| The younger one says: |
| 169 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The bear with eyes and mouth that ate our father |
| 170 |
|
|
|
| is to be seen there. |
| 171 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| When I look, the younger one resembles his father. |
| 172 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| His head is washed by the uppermost tree branches, |
| 173 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| his head is combed by the middle tree branches, |
| 174 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| his head is braided by the lowest tree branches. |
| 175 |
|
|
|
| The younger one says: |
| 176 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The bear with eyes that ate our father, |
| 177 |
|
|
|
|
| the bear with a mouth that ate our father, |
| 178 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| shoot him in the spot where its heart is, brother! |
| 179 |
|
|
|
| [by an eagle wing feathered arrow] |
| 180 |
|
|
|
|
| When I was shot by an eagle wing feathered arrow, |
| 181 |
|
|
|
| [my empty cheek-bottom] |
| 182 |
|
|
|
| only my empty cheek-bottom was cut. |
| 183 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Dammit, brother! |
| 184 |
|
|
|
|
| How could you miss him? |
| 185 |
|
|
|
|
|
| When I let loose my eagle-winged feathered arrow at him |
| 186 |
|
|
| [I let loose], |
| 187 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| he will not escape from below, he will not escape from above. |
| 188 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| When I am then shot at by the eagle-winged feathered arrow, |
| 189 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| I lose consciousness. |
| 190 |
|
|
|
|
| Kois's younger son says, |
| 191 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| [seven sleds of fresh wood] |
| 192 |
|
|
|
|
|
| [seven sleds of dry wood] |
| 193 |
|
|
|
|
| Chop seven sleds of fresh wood, seven sleds of dry wood, brother! |
| 194 |
|
|
|
| [him in a seven-tongued] |
| 195 |
|
|
|
|
| I'll put him in a seven-tongued fiery fire, |
| 196 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| I won't let a single spark go up. |
| 197 |
|
|
|
| His elder brother says: |
| 198 |
|
|
|
|
| There are still many forest otters arising from the forest |
| 199 |
|
|
|
|
| [There are still many] |
| 200 |
|
|

| There are still many water otters arising from the water |
| 201 |
|
|
|
|
| [There are still many]. |
| 202 |
|
|
|
|
|
| (If) we put him in a seven-tongued fiery fire, |
| 203 |
|
|
|
|
| how will we escape? |
| 204 |
|
|
|
|
|
| For the ridicule of young girls |
| 205 |
|
|
|
|
| for the laughter of young boys |
| 206 |
|
|
| let us take him home. |
| 207 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| If this is your thought, |
| 208 |
|
|
|
|
| grasp him yourself, |
| 209 |
|
|
|
|
| get your own hands dirty. |

|
|
|
|
|
| I won't carry him. |
| 211 |
|
|
|
|
| If I were alone |
| 212 |
|
|
|
|
|
| I would roast him in a fire with no sparks. |
