KK1-0050 - Marun yan nau a lam (The twins Hkrai Gam and Hkrai Naw) with English translation

Translation (Rita Seng Mai) The title of the story is 'Twins'. A long time ago, there were a mother and her daughter in a village. The girl was a fatherless child. Since they were poor, they were not allowed to do farming on a big farm. They had to farm at the outskirt of the village. One day, the girl was pregnant. She gave birth to twin boys: Ma Gam and Ma Naw. The boys grew up well. They became young men. When they visited the village, the villagers told them, "You don't have a father! Such fatherless twins!" When they talked to the girls, the girls told them, "How dare fatherless twins to talk to us!" They looked down at the twins. Wherever they went, they were looked down. The boys were upset and told their mother about it. They told her, "Mom, we are being looked down upon wherever we go. When we talk to boys and girls from the village, they say that fatherless twins like us shouldn't talk to them. They always look down on us. So, can you tell us who our father is?" The mother said, "I can't tell who your father is." The twins insisted on asking who their father was. They told her, "Mom, our lives are meaningless. Wherever we go, we are looked down. So, what's the point of being alive in this world? Even the life of the animal is meaningful. Please, tell us." In the end, she decided to tell them about their father. She said, "Take some iron and strike it beside a big lake. Strike it every day. At that time, your father will show up in front of you." They went to the big lake and stroke the iron beside it every day. They made an iron rope too. They said, "When our father shows up, let's tie him up with this rope." They were striking the iron without even taking a rest. Meanwhile, a giant snake in the lake felt unpleasant because of the noises. It came out of the water and told them, "Please, don't strike the iron anymore. I feel really dizzy because of that sound." But the twins continued striking the iron. The snake thought of begging them not to do that anymore. When it came out of the water, the twins quickly caught it and tied its neck with the rope. It was afraid and said, "Why did you do this kind of action to me? Release me right now. Don't you know that animals like dragons and me are scared of iron? Now, I am going to die because of you." The boys said, "You made our mom pregnant and left her alone. We are your sons. You made us feel outcast. If you can't promise us what we want, we won't release you! We will kill you with this iron rope despite the fact you are our father." The father said, "Yes, I am your father. I did really wrong to your mother. I am so sorry." The twins said, "But you make us feel outcast among people. If you can't do something good for us, we will not let you go. We will hang you here till you die. If you are not dead yet, we will come to this lake every year and strike the iron loudly." Their father said, "Don't do that, please. Release me, please. I will give you a valuable stone. It can make your lives perfect. It can fulfill your wishes. It can bring you success in everything you do. You will get recognition and favour from other people if you have this stone. I am just a snake, but I will give you this valuable stone in my head. But you can't break this stone. Take turns bringing the stone." The boys said, "Then, spit it out quickly! If you don't, we will kill you." It said, "Don't kill me, please. I will give it to you." Then, it spat the stone out. The boys said politely after getting the stone, "Dad, we have known who you really are now. Since you are a snake and we are humans, we can't be together. This is the farewell for us. We will live our lives happily with your priceless gift. Goodbye, dad." The girls, who hated them at first, liked them now. The twins became rich by the gift of their father. They lived happily forever. This is the end of the story. Transcription (La Ring) Ya marun yen nau na lam hpe ga baw gaw marun yen nau. Lani na aten hta e num shayi sha gaw jahkrai ma re.

翻译（丽塔·圣迈 译）：本故事标题为"双子"。往昔，某村落中住着一位母亲与她的女儿，这名女孩自幼无父。因家境贫寒，她们无权租用大型农场耕作，只能在村落近郊垦荒务农。一日，女孩怀有身孕，随后诞下一对双胞胎男孩：马甘（Ma Gam）与马瑙（Ma Naw）。兄弟二人健康成长，终成青年。当他们返乡探访村落时，村民们议论道："你们无父无依，竟是这般无父的双胞胎！"当他们与村中女孩交谈时，女孩们亦奚落道："无父的双胞胎也配与我们搭话？"二人无论走到何处，都遭人鄙夷。兄弟二人心中愤懑，遂将此事告知母亲："母亲，我们无论去往何处都被人冷眼相待。与村中男女交谈时，他们总说像我们这般无父的双胞胎不配与他们为伍，还处处鄙夷我们。还请母亲告知我们，生父究竟是谁？"母亲答道："我无法告知你们生父的身份。"双胞胎仍执意追问，对母亲说道："母亲，我们的人生毫无意义，无论到何处都被人排挤，活着又有何价值？就连牲畜都有其存在的意义，求您告诉我们吧。"最终，母亲决定告知他们生父的下落："你们取些铁器，到大湖边每日击打。待到彼时，你们的父亲便会现身。"二人遂前往大湖，每日在湖畔击打铁器，还打造了一根铁索，商议道："等生父现身，便用这铁索将他缚住。"他们一刻不停，持续敲击铁器。与此同时，湖中的巨蛇因这嘈杂声响倍感不适，遂浮出水面哀求："求你们不要再击打铁器了，这声音令我头晕目眩。"但双胞胎仍继续敲击。巨蛇无奈，只得再次浮出水面恳求，二人见状迅速上前，用铁索套住了巨蛇的脖颈。巨蛇惊惧万分，说道："你们为何要如此待我？速速放开我！你们难道不知龙与我这类生灵都惧怕铁器吗？如今我竟要丧命于你们之手。"兄弟二人怒道："你使我母亲怀上我们后便弃她而去，我们是你的亲生儿子，却让我们在人群中受尽排挤。若你不答应我们的要求，绝不放你走！即便你是我们的生父，我们也要用这铁索杀了你！"巨蛇连忙说道："没错，我就是你们的父亲，我对你们的母亲犯下大错，我万分愧疚。"双胞胎说道："但你让我们在世人面前抬不起头。若你不能为我们弥补过错，我们便将你吊在这里直至身死。若你未死，我们每年都会来此湖畔，大声击打铁器。"巨蛇慌忙哀求："切莫如此，求你们放了我。我将赠予你们一块珍贵的宝石，它可令你们人生圆满，满足所有心愿，诸事顺遂。拥有此石，你们便能获得他人的认可与青睐。我虽是蛇类，但会将藏于体内的这块宝石赠予你们。但切记不可损毁此石，需轮流携带。"兄弟二人喝道："速速吐出！否则我们现在就杀了你！"巨蛇连忙应道："别杀我，我这就给你们。"随后吐出了宝石。兄弟二人拿到宝石后，礼貌地说道："父亲，我们已知你的真实身份。你是蛇类，而我们是人类，无法相聚。就此别过，我们将带着你赠予的无价之宝，好好生活。再见了，父亲。"此前憎恶他们的村民，如今都对他们改观喜爱。双子凭借生父赠予的宝物变得富足，从此过上了幸福安乐的生活。故事至此结束。
