| The banished Samoyed. |
| There are two Samoyedes. The older man is married. The younger man is unmarried. He was unmarried for a long time, for a short time, then he got married to a woman. He got married to a woman, went to town and bought a bucket full of alcohol. He began to drink. While drinking he does not fall down. He ran out of alcohol and fell down. He fell down and lies there. His older brother and his sister-in-law say to the younger brother's wife: "Put a pillow under his head, he has taken a bad fall." The woman went over to put a pillow under his head. He brought his hand up, his hand struck the woman and she fell down dead. Sein Bruder und seine Schwägerin weinen und trauern. He just lies there. He lies there for a long time, for a short time, then he looks up: his brother and his sister-in-law are weeping and grieving. He wonders: "Why are they crying?" He sobered up. He asks them: "Why are you crying?" They say: "You have killed your wife." He says: "How did I kill her?" "We told your wife to put a pillow under your head." "What?!?" he says. He was to blame. Word even reached the city of the Czar that he had killed his wife. He says: "I will go myself where the carts come from. Nobody should have any problems on account of me." He caught seven white reindeer oxen, cut a bearskin up into pull straps and a cowskin into belly straps, harnessed the reindeer and set off. He travelled seven days and seven nights. He stopped to clean off snow and ice. He looks ahead: A tent is there and a dog is barking. A woman or a man stepped outside, went in again and says: "A man has come. He harnessed seven white reindeer oxen, he cut up half a bearskin into pull straps and half a cowskin into belly straps Someone says: "It's probably that exiled man on his way." He says: "I'm going to go out" - he took a big knife - "I'm going to go out and kill him with my own hands." His wife and his daughter say: "Don't go!" He went out with the knife in his hand. The man is cleaning off the snow and ice. He suspects nothing. With the knife in his hand, he went over to the man. The man stabs him again and again. The man gets shoved away at his chest, his breastbones cave in and break, he dies. The man says: "Now I have loaded even more guilt on myself." Then he set off again. He went for seven days and seven nights, he went for seven nights and days. He stopped again in order to clean off ice and snow. He looks ahead: There is a tent. A dog is barking. A woman or a man stepped outside, went in again and says: "A man has come with seven white reindeer oxen. He cut up half a bear skin into pull straps and half a cow skin into belly straps." Someone says: "Probably it's my younger brother who has come." He stepped outside, they kissed and embraced each other. They go inside, the host offers him a good seat. He says: "What fitting seat do I need, someone who is going into exile?" The two say: "We hear that you have had misfortune." "Where do the carts come from? I came here by myself", he says, "so that people have no trouble because of me. So where do the carts come from?" His brother-in-law says: "The carts pass through here. When they go this way, they come by, when that way, they come by. "Go", he says, "from here to the shores of the Ob!" Now he went down to the river Ob and he sat down there. He sat there for a long time, he sat there for a short time, he was looking: A cart appeared, rowing from the other side. They came here and say: "Who's this?" He says: "I'm banished." Two say: "Tie him up, we must throw him into the boat!" He says: "Why are you tying me? I'll get in myself." They went towards the river shore, to a tent. They reached the river bank. The reindeers were driven home. A reindeer was selected, caught and killed. They eat and they give him to eat. The guilty man set up one of his reindeer goads, tied his sled ropes together and says to his brother-in-law: "Make sacrifices in the direction of your reindeer goats, hang seven reindeer heads on it! If it bends down, don't wait any longer! Send these seven white reindeer oxen of mine home to my brother!" They went down to the river to their boat. They got on the boat. The guilty man laid down on the deck of the boat to sleep. Then the people row and they say: "Let's throw him into the water, why the hell should we transport him?" The foreman says: "How should we throw him?" The Tsar is going to look for him, he will say: "If he is dead, bring me his corpse." The people say: "He threw himself into the water, he was very willful. He fell into the water, how can we get him?" They seized him. They grab his arms but cannot move them, they grab his legs but cannot move them. He says: "Hey, guys, what are you doing? Can't a guy get any sleep?" "You," they say, "were lying in a bad way, we're putting you in a better position." "Let me lie the way I was, I'm just a banished person." Then they row again. They rowed for a long time, they rowed for a short time, they say again: "Let's throw him into the water!" Again they seized him, again they grabbed his feet, but can't move them, they grab his hands, but can't move them. "Hey, guys, can't a guy get any sleep? If your need is that great, shut me up in an iron barrel. May my flesh and bones rot in one place!" They shut him up in an iron barrel and threw him into the river channel. He drifted for a long time, he drifted for a short time, suddenly he can be heard knocking against the shore. He thought to himself: "If my words and my speech are meant to continue, may both ends of the barrel burst when I move my legs!" The barrel burst. He crawled up the shore and made his way to a path. He heads off in the direction he feels like. He looks ahead: There is a tent. He gets there and thinks of sitting down: "Let me die here!" If I go inside, I'll get killed anyway." A woman or a man can be heard entering the tent: "Someone has sat down there and is close to death." An old man lives there, he has a daughter and a son. The old man says: "If you have noticed someone, bring him in, he's a subject of the Tsar, too!" Then they went up to him. Taking both his arms he was led in, he was brought in, the man close to death. They fed him little by little and he recovered. People are playing. They perform feats with their arms, they perform feats with their legs. The old man's son wins, he defeats all of them. His father says: " If you come to a solitary place consider this man who has just come as your master!" After a while they drove the reindeer home. They drove them home, one reindeer ox was caught and harnessed to a boat. They travel slowly. He says: "My friend, where are we going to get like this?! He says: "I used to own reindeer. We used to go by sledge. I'll make a sledge." The other man says: "If you know how to make sledges, then make one!" He made a Samoyed sledge with ten runners. On of the men says: "Its runners are thin, it will break." The other man says: "It won't break." Their sledge got finished. He says: "Drive your reindeer home!" He drove his reindeer home. The master says to the man: "Catch two selected reindeer." He caught two reindeer. One of them made sledge ropes out of snow and they harnessed the reindeer. The other man says: "I am losing my mind." He's shrieking and shouting. He stoppped shouting and says: "You have a great skill!" "Is this ever fast! We used to be fast before; we harness five or six reindeer up." They drove home. The son says to his father: "What great skills he has!" "My sons, since yesterday I have been telling you: When you come to your land, consider this man as your master!" The old man says: "Go fishing, children!" They went to the shore to their boat. They got to their boat. Half of it was on dry land. No matter how hard they shove it, they can't. The man who had recently arrived is sitting on the shore smoking a pipe. "Come up to the bank, I'll push it!" "We people, we cannot push with strength like yours!" The people came up the bank, he went down to the boat and he pushed it with one hand alone into the water. The people said: "He's really something!" They got into the boat and rowed. It got foggy and they got lost. They rowed for a long time, they rowed for a short time, the fog lifted in the middle: A village and new houses appeared. Тhey say: "Let's dock here, and drink!" One of the men says: "Let's keep going, we'll make tea somewhere else." They say: "We'll have tea here, if you want to go, go!" They get out of the shore, they walk around a house but they find no door. He came ashore, he flung the door open, his people went in. There's a forest spirit lying inside the house. He says to his people: "Boil tea, drink tea!" They went completely pale, they were so afraid. The forest spirit got up. "Old man", they say, "greetings!" "Ah, lads, greetings to you, too! Fresh blood drops have come before me", he says. "My men", he says, " haven't arrived yet." Four forest spirits entered. "Ah", they say, "our old guy is never empty-handed. Even his house has eyes and ears. A seven-eared kettle was hung over the fire, half of the people were caught and thrown into it. "Hey, guy, that's too little." Won't you put in some more?" Again they caught ten men and put them in the kettle. The man, he says: "Drink tea!" Before you were saying you're going to make tea. So why aren't you making any tea now?" The forest spirits' food was ready and they ate, four forest spirits left. The forest spirit lay down to sleep. Now the man began to throw his men out the window. "Go and cut their boat in two!" The forest spirits' sword is hanging above him. He took the forest spirit's sword, cut him in two and then went outside. The forest spirits run towards the shore. One of them pushes his boat into the water, it sinks, again another one pushes his boat into the water, again it sinks. "Alas!" he says, "damned devils, somehow you have demolished our boats!" One of them runs downstream along the shore. He uprooted out a larch, broke it into pieces and flings them towards the boat on the water. His projectiles ran out and he let himself down into the water. He got to the boat. He grabbed it, but his hands got cut off with a sword. Now the people went. They reached their boat harbour and went ashore. The old man's son began to speak now: "Half of our people have returned home; if it hadn't been for this man, all of us would have been killed." The old man said: "I've been telling you since yesterday: 'If you come to a remote place, consider him as your master!" The old man made him his son-in-law. He says: "I myself am a man with land, I myself am a man with water, I want to go home to my land." He says: "You will be brought home by your wife." A reindeer herd was divided into two parts, he was given a wife and then he left, his wife took him. He was taken for a long time or a short time, he looks ahead: there is a tent. He looks: A reindeer goad is standing there with seven reindeer heads hanging on it. He enters, his brother-in-law and his sister are there. They slept. Morning came. He harnessed his seven reindeer oxen. He says to his wife: "You stay here, then follow me slowly! I am leaving, my brother and my sister-in-law are waiting." He left. He travelled seven nights and seven days. He stopped in order to clean off the snow and the ice. He looks ahead: there is a tent. A dog is barking. A woman or a man comes outside and goes back in again. "Some man has arrived with seven white reindeer oxen. Someone can be heard: "Isn't that the one we shut up in an iron barrel?" He pulled at his reins and set off. Again he travelled for seven nights and seven days. Again he looks ahead. There's a tent there. A dog is barking. He looks: Just like his own tent! He went inside, he entered. He kisses and embraces his sister-in-law and his brother. He begins talking and says: Are you keeping your herd and your wealth safe? They say: "We are." He says: "What kind of herd is this! We're being brought another herd." His wife came and brought them a herd. They lived happily ever after with their herds. |
| Es sind zwei Samojeden. Der ältere Mann ist verheiratet. Der jüngere Mann ist unverheiratet. Er war eine lange Zeit, eine kurze Zeit unverheiratet, dann heiratete er eine Frau. Er heiratete eine Frau, ging in die Stadt und kaufte einen Eimer voll Alkohol. Er begann zu trinken. Er fällt nicht hin beim Trinken. Der Alkohol ging aus und er fiel hin. Er ist zu Boden gefallen und liegt jetzt dort. Sein älterer Bruder und seine Schwägerin sagen zur Frau des jüngeren Bruders: "Lege ihm ein Kopfkissen unter, er ist schlimm gefallen." Die Frau ging hin und legte einen Polster unter seinen Kopf. Er hob seinen Arm hoch, sein Arm traf die Frau und sie fiel tot zu Boden. His brother and his sister-in-law weep and grieve. Er liegt einfach da. Er liegt eine lange Zeit, eine kurze Zeit da, dann blickt er hinauf: Sein Bruder und seine Schwägerin weinen und trauern. Er denkt: "Warum weinen sie?" Er wurde nüchtern. Er fragt sie: "Warum weint ihr?" Sie sagen: "Du hast deine Frau getötet." Er sagt: "Wie habe ich sie getötet?" "Wir sagten deiner Frau, sie soll einen Polster unter deinen Kopf legen." "Was?!?" sagt er. Er wurde angeschuldigt. Die Nachricht, dass er seine Frau getötet hatte, erreichte sogar die Stadt des Kaiser. Er sagt: "Ich werde selber dorthin gehen, von wo die Kronsfahrtpost kommt. Es soll niemand irgendeinen Aufwand meinethalben haben." Er fing sieben weiße Rentierochsen ein, er schnitt eine Bärenhaut zum Schulterriemen und eine Kuhhaut zum Bauchgurt, spannte die Tiere an und machte sich auf. Er reiste sieben Tage und sieben Nächte. Er hielt an, um Schnee und Eis von sich zu klopfen. Er schaut nach vorne: Ein Zelt steht dort und ein Hund bellt. Eine Frau oder ein Mann trat heraus, ging wieder hinein und sagt: "Ein Mann ist gekommen. Er hat sieben weiße Rentierochsen eingespannt, er hat eine halbe Bärenhaut zum Schulterriemen und eine halbe Kuhhaut zum Bauchgurt geschnitten." Jemand sagt:" Das ist wahrscheinlich dieser verbannte Mann, der da unterwegs ist." Er sagt: "Ich werde hinausgehen" - er nahm ein großes Messer - "ich werde hinausgehen und ihn mit meinen eigenen Händen töten." Seine Frau und seine Tochter sagen: "Gehe nicht!" Mit dem Messer in der Hand ging er hinaus. Der Mann klopft Schnee und Eis von sich. Er ahnt nichts. Mit dem Messer in der Hand ging er hinüber zu dem Mann. Der Mann sticht nun auf ihn ein. Der Mann wird an seiner Brust weggedrückt, seine Brustknochen brechen ein und er stirbt. Der Mann sagt: "Jetzt habe ich noch mehr Schuld auf mich geladen." Dann machte er sich wieder auf den Weg. Er fuhr wieder sieben Tage und sieben Nächte, sieben Nächte und sieben Tage lang. Er hielt erneut an, um Eis und Schnee abzuklopfen. Ein Hund bellt. Eine Frau oder ein Mann trat heraus, ging wieder hinein und sagt: "Ein Mann ist mit sieben weiße Rentierochsen gekommen. Er hat eine halbe Bärenhaut zum Schulterriemen und eine halbe Kuhhaut zum Bauchgurt geschnitten." Jemand sagt: "Das ist wahrscheinlich mein jüngerer Bruder, der da gekommen ist." Er trat hinaus, sie küssten und umarmten einander. Sie gehen hinein, der Wirt bietet ihm einen guten Sitzplatz an. Er sagt: "Was brauche ich einen anständigen Platz, der ich nun einmal verbannt worden bin?" Die beiden sagen: "Wir hören, dass du Unglück gehabt hast." "Von wo fährt denn die Kronsfahrpost? Ich bin selber hierhergekommen", sagt er, "damit die Leute wegen mir keine Mühe haben sollten. Nach ihm wird der Zar fragen, er wird sagen: |
