KK1-1400 - Lakum byin tai ai lam (The Origin of the Lakum Clan) with English translation

Translation (Rita Seng Mai) In the past, there was a family whose clan was Lakum. They had many children. The family members had died year after year. Then, only the mother and Ma Hka, the seventh son, were left. They were poor. No one wanted to help them. When the son grew up, he wanted to get married. But they didn't have money to give as bridewealth. One day, the mother and her son went to their field. Meanwhile, someone cooked meals for them and did the household chores while they were away. When they came back, they were surprised. They couldn't figure out who did those chores for them. Many years had passed. Then, they thought, "What shall we do? Shall we catch that person secretly? We should do something." One day, they pretended to go to the field and tried to catch that person. They saw that a beautiful girl was doing the chores for them. The mother told her son, "Let's see where she is hiding. When she tries to hide, let's catch her." After she had prepared everything, she hid inside the rice pot. Then, the mother and her son quickly went out from where they were hiding and caught her. The girl couldn't hide anymore and said, "I am not a human. I am a fairy. Since you catch me, I can't go back to my house anymore. I have to live here. I will go back this time because I need to inform my family about it." After one year, she came back to the boy. She also brought a knife. And she gave it to her husband and said, "Don't aim at anyone with this knife." The knife was really powerful. When he cleaned the field with that knife, the work was done in a short time. Later, they had a child. They had eight children in total. Many years later, they had grandchildren too. One day, they were drying rice grains under the sun. The birds were trying to eat the rice grains. At that time, the man forgot what his wife said and aimed at the birds with that knife to scare the birds away. Then, his wife suddenly disappeared. Since then, Lakum clan has appeared. They are called Lakum.

翻译（丽塔·森·迈 译）：从前有一个拉库姆（Lakum）氏族的家族，人丁兴旺却接连遭遇族亲离世，最终仅余母亲与第七子玛哈卡（Ma Hka）二人，家境贫寒，无人肯施以援手。儿子成年后意欲成婚，却无钱支付聘礼。一日，母子二人前往田间劳作，归家时竟发现家中已有人备好饭菜、料理了家务，二人倍感诧异，百思不得其解究竟是谁出手相助。这般情形持续多年后，母子二人商议道："我们该如何是好？不如暗中抓住这位好心人，总得有所作为。"一日，他们佯装前往田间，实则打算趁机擒住那位帮忙者，只见一位美丽的姑娘正在为他们操持家务。母亲对儿子说："我们跟紧她，待她藏身时便将其抓住。"姑娘准备妥当后躲进饭锅之中，母子二人立刻从藏身处冲出将其擒获。姑娘无处可躲，只得坦言："我并非凡人，乃是仙女。既然被你们抓住，我便无法再返回仙乡，只能在此定居。不过此番我需回去告知家人此事。"一年后，仙女回到玛哈卡身边，还带来了一把宝刀，并将其交给丈夫叮嘱道："切勿用这把刀对准任何人。"此刀威力无穷，玛哈卡用它开垦田地时，片刻便完成了全部劳作。后来二人育有八子，多年后又添了孙辈。一日，他们在阳光下晾晒稻谷，有飞鸟前来啄食，男子忘却妻子的叮嘱，用刀对准飞鸟驱赶，妻子竟突然消失不见。自此，拉库姆氏族应运而生，族人遂以"拉库姆"为族名。
转录（拉·林 转写）：从前有拉库姆族一户人家，族中成员逐年离世，最终只剩母亲与第七子玛哈卡，家境贫寒，无人相助。儿子长大想娶妻，却没钱支付聘礼。一日母子前往田间，归来时发现有人做好饭菜、料理了家务，二人十分惊讶，不知是谁所为。这般情形持续多年，母子商议："我们该怎么办？不如偷偷抓住这位好心人，总得做点什么。"一日他们佯装去田间，实则想趁机抓住帮忙者，只见一位美丽姑娘正在操持家务。母亲对儿子说："我们看看她藏在哪里，等她躲的时候抓住她。"姑娘准备好后躲进饭锅，母子立刻从藏身处冲出将其抓住。姑娘无法躲藏，说道："我不是人类，是仙女。既然被你们抓住，我不能回自己家了，只能住在这里。这次我得回去告诉家人。"一年后，仙女回到玛哈卡身边，还带来一把刀，交给丈夫说："不要用这把刀对准任何人。"此刀威力极大，他用这刀开荒时，很快就做完了活。后来他们有了八个孩子，多年后也有了孙辈。一日他们在晒稻谷，飞鸟前来啄食，男子忘了妻子的叮嘱，用刀驱赶飞鸟，妻子突然消失了。从此，拉库姆族出现了，族人便以拉库姆为族名。
