THE SON OF GOD-ULUU TOJON 1
The 'in Nikolai.
August 1925.
long time fan, to Atamajcy (in ' ulus 2 of Namcy) there was a man of exceptional stature and with a force out of the ordinary, and his name was Lukapyar. One day he went while on horseback, he noticed a dark cloud coming from the west and from which you could hear a song, judging by the voice, singing was a woman:
Oh giant Lukapyar !
you, who have a sheath animated
a knife and always thirsty for blood!
You, which hit a piece of fat meat,
and your hands Always bloody!
Father who created you, tThe Supreme terrible ruler,
behold, I send this string,
put into Serbian for you,
to obtain food.
Lukapyar looked up and saw the following scene: from the sky descended a winding bridle reins for horses with long braided hair streaked with bright red, and he then raised his arms to grab that gift and then went on his way.
was spring, now the snow was slowly melting and the first water began to gush from the steep banks of small rivers; Lukapyar, approaching a river, he saw a herd grazing on the opposite bank of horses with a stallion . Immediately fell from his horse and did turn in the long reins that had been donated, shouting: "Choruu, choruu, choruu !..." 3 .
Hearing his cries, the whole herd moved, gathered in one spot and thrown into the river to cross; then all the horses headed Lukapyar. This immediately threw himself on the back of the head of the mare's halter and reins received from heaven, meekly allowed himself to harness the mare. Lukapyar the attack on his horse and went away and it was followed by the whole herd.
Lukapyar seems that since then has been dedicated to the theft of horses, always bringing with them the sacred halter, never knew misfortune in life and no one could ever capture. Of his descendants there is nobody left.
THE SON OF GOD "WHITE" IS A GOD "BLACK"
Vasilij Kozlov. Maltancy.
July 1921.
It is said that long ago, in ' ulus Namcy lived a very rich old man named Juëdej Ugaalaach, he had nine children of which eight were married, some of them had left the father to live independently, the others were staying with him. The youngest and the favorite, was still a bachelor.
That same ulus, but away from the area in which he lived this ' man lived another old man, too rich, the head of his own nasleg 4 and considered by all a horse thief. He also had a son and a daughter and Juëdej Ugaalaach sought and obtained for his youngest son, and still a bachelor, the daughter of this old man, obviously in exchange for a lot of money and many gifts.
Although the ransom had been paid in full, the girl's father put off marriage and the delivery of her daughter, also a growing new applications for livestock and so on, being regularly satisfied.
One spring day, a young mare Juëdej Ugaalaach gave birth to her first foal, a boy from the mantle spotted with white, also had a mane that grew along the whole back to the root of the tail, was was so weak that he could not stand up.
The old master, upon learning of the birth of a foal so particular he said: "He was born at the behest of the same-Jurjung Ajyy Tojon 5 and I consider myself his son. Probably it was he who deliberately make me this gift as us, among other goods, we offer a dowry to his girlfriend live cattle led to bridle. This colt will stand on weak legs until late autumn, or until the grass will turn yellow and dry. Accuditelo yourself with care and Mount close to the mother's breast. "
The servants followed his order: all summer took care of the foal, handing it to her mother, the kind that the old, the animal is ruled late autumn sun on the legs and became a ubasa 6 unbeatable. The foal grew and was left in the herd as a stud; extraordinarily large and prolific in the area became famous as the Mjullju-Boschong (shaman property) it took him only six horses neighing when it seemed that the earth heave and answer that the sky did thundering echo. Juëdej Ugaalaach this horse when he had arranged the marriage of his son.
quell'anziano One day he went with his son from the father to take the contract and finally the bride, the old people talked about this and that, but suddenly the landlord came up with this speech "We, you and I are distinguished and respectable people. In my opinion and according to our customs, the last gift before the transfer of the bride must be adapted to our condition. I have heard that a famous stallion, Mjullju-Boschong. As a final gift, in exchange for my daughter, I expect you to be half of its carcass. Kill him, half for you and the other to keep it from me! "
The words of consuocero Juëdej Ugaalaach so impressed that immediately became silent and cut short the conversation, thinking to himself:" Just look at 'what kind he is! Using the pale-faced daughter as bait, it is appropriate of all my goods and now also wants to deprive me of the stud-Mjullju Boschong? No, it never will! "
not promised anything and, cutting short on this subject, he went home. The son stayed a little longer 'at his girlfriend, after the departure of consuocero the landlord told the son: "Your father went away without answering my proposal. Of his business, but you can take it, the stud-Mjullju Boschong. You'll do it by taking advantage of a windy day! Under these conditions I do not postpone the departure of a single day of your wife. Because they are an important person I would like to taste the flesh of this infamous horse. "
As a kind, the young man did not want to disobey the father (according to ancient traditions of Iacuti the authority of his wife's relatives was higher than that of his father) and so it was that, by choosing a particularly stormy day, he brought the stallion with his herd of six mares, and all seven were immediately slaughtered. It so happens that in the yurt 7 of her father, under the stove set at a special pin that made him turn on itself, had been dug a big store, where they were for 'precisely placed all carcasses.
That old favorite was an assistant to replace him in every way and perform all the tasks were assigned, quick as a bird in flight. One day the old man heard that somewhere in that of Megincy (another ulus on the opposite bank of the Lena River, one right) was a famous horse. Then ordered a young man to bring him to the bridle or on the wings (so to speak Iacuti to characterize the speed of gait). The young man lost no time and soon brought him his horse, which was attached to a pole and he came out with an ax and then, towards the front of the beast, leave as a terrible blow. The dark and whistled through the air, rather than on the horse, landed on the head of another young man who kept the tops of the reins. The head of dark shattered his skull.
The wife of the former, this incident, rushed into the yurt of her husband and cried
"Old Man, a terrible misfortune has happened, our son has killed a man!" .
But the old man was quite calm and replied: "It is nothing, calm down, find a way to get rid of him." He left the tent and spoke to his son: "Listen man, this horse could be possessed by the spirit of a deity, a patron god! Maybe at the next attempt to kill another disaster happens! Legagli the tail, then binds the reins in the hands of the young man killed and let them be dragged by the horse. "
The horse, released as he had advised the old man, ran home dragging behind the body of this young man. At home it was decided that a horse thief, after taking it, he had smashed his head was killed ... They brought this on a small survey of man and the corpse was buried. In this way the matter was closed.
Regarding Juëdej Ugaalaach, after the death of the stallion-Mjullju Boschong and his herd, the nine sons of the old man began to look for, but all the research to be in vain and the old man then ordered to stop. He said: "I can not imagine that anyone, including those who have ten fingers, has decided to use them in my favor because anyone, including those who have five digits, has the desire to steal. E 'is the same god-Jurjung Ajyy to give me these horses and he was probably still have to take them away. "
spring arrives, the days were becoming longer and warmer weather. In those days a very poor old man, a relative of Juëdej Ugaalaach, went looking for a handout in the places where he lived consuocero the latter. When he arrived, the old man stopped to spend the night in the yurt allocated to herders, but for some reason, the same long awake.
He was, however, lay in his bed pretending to be asleep. In the meantime entered the yurt a woman and began to chat with one who lived there. This suddenly began to reproach the guest with the words: "Why have not you shared with me an abundance of food? Have you completely forgotten me? ". The other woman replied, "What pops into your mind? I was almost able to take a bucket a bit 'of the entrails of a horse and hide them in the crib of calves, but my boss has noticed and is so angry with me that I regretted having done so. And then, for so little. "
And women continue to talk.
"Now you have slaughtered Mjullju-Boschong, the famous stallion of your consuocero, and his six mares. You will have plenty of food and fat of the struts and on the other yet. "
"Eh, what do you want to be the killing of animals, stuff from anything! But now here is a person. You know, we had ordered one of their men to bring a horse to Megincy ... They tied the horse to the post. They wanted shoved in front of the dark, but the dark is over the head of the poor young man who held him. They then freed the horse after tying the corpse of the young man to his tail. ECCP what combine. "
"But you've no doubt a great store of food!" "Oh, they ate it all a lot. What do they have kept! Di-Mjullju Boschong have set aside for the summer only one leg. They put in the bucket of birch along with skimmed milk and curdled el'hanno summer range in the camp. "
The next morning the old beggar, who had heard all the talk of women, he returned to rush home and told everything to Juëdej Ugaalaach. The latter, who by then had lost all sight, once lost a crew member and left the city. When he left he told the children: "I will take from the city authorities, in the meantime you beware the house."
few days later returned with a representative of the authorities, who had orders to conduct an investigation on the advice of the old, spent the night there one night and day following came directly from consuocero. Under the fire discovered the deposit, but it was empty. They went to summer camp and in the big bucket of birch found, along with the sour milk, one-leg Mjullju Boschong. He was ordered to lead the woman who had witnessed the killing and questioned thoroughly. The woman, not hiding anything, he told everything in detail and so the son was arrested and taken to the city to the process.
The old father started to drag here and there by the courts and authorities. To compensate those who had been robbed and the fees to the authorities of the moment at hand, greedy for gain, He squandered almost all his possessions. Finally, the child was sent to forced labor and the father and mother were alone. One day the old man said to his wife: "I have created a wish of the Chara-Suorun (" Black Crow "), I was destined not to know, as long as I live in the Middle World, any kind of trouble not bumping into any trouble. But Juëdej Ugaalaach was born by the will of the same-Jurjung Ajyy (blank, holy creator ") and as such, being superior to the will of fate, he had the better of me. It 'clear that its ancient superiority manifested itself. "
And the old woman replied: "What has happened has happened, and no force can ever take revenge. For us it's over. "
The old man shook himself and said, "No, wait, not everything is finished! See, I have a neighbor, Kutujach-ojun, who by virtue of his spirits could pass through the eye of a needle. We must ask him to make a kamlan'e 8 Juëdej Ugaalaach and devour all his family. And to hell with them! ... This our only child born from the white face has made us unhappy. "
He invited the shaman and made him a kamlan'e . That danced for three days and three nights in a row, but the prayers to his spirits were not successful. In no way he could kill Juëdej Ugaalaach. Returning from her flight, the shaman said, "Its patron god blocked the road to him and therefore can not be achieved."
"If so, then it means that their destiny is strong and no force can have on them the upper hand ... However, do not deny me one more try. Go to who made me, by Chara-Suorun which ordered that they may not find me in a bad in my life in this Middle World. "
shaman sciamanizzò agreed and one more night.
He went from Chara-Suorun and said, "Juëdej Ugaalaach, son of Jurjung-Ayjj he himself created, he made the unfortunate child that you created."
Chara-Suorun replied: "'It is true, I have created and destined him to escape the earthly woes. If today delel true, this is because his opponent was created by a god to me more, Jurjung-Ajyy-Tojon. However, here, take this string and throw it near the fence of Juëdej Ugaalaach! If any of them will find it, all members of the family and become horse thieves will not escape the prison. "
With these words-Chara Suorun handed him a rope bloody, ten- machovye Sazen 9 . The shaman, who has returned to Earth, he threw the rope near the home of Juëdej Ugaalaach; the rope stayed there a long time. Relatives and herdsmen of Juëdej Ugaalaach often passed nearby, but without seeing it. Only many years later a grandson of that old man (at whose request the string was thrown), the son of his daughter, he saw the cord and took her home. Since then he became incorrigible horse thief. Day and night, always away from home, you only get one, and often was caught and imprisoned. Each time the relatives were paying out huge sums, but every time he us falling back.
his fault his family squandered all the livestock. The same Juëdej Ugaalaach also died, and his old. The children became poor and all slowly turned into horse thieves.
The other old man lived a long time and every time he was informed of a new misfortune happened to family of his enemy, rejoiced and said
"Well, well, it means that they too have come my way and share my fate."
Here's how to Iacuti Namcy, as the story goes, became horse thieves.
the first to tell this story was Afanasy Korjakin now failed for so long.
