KK1-1791 - Nang Bya yi galai ai lam (Nang Bya and villagers who burned their field) with English translation and notes

Translation (Rita Seng Mai) The story is about Nangbya and the villagers burning the fields. Nangbya lied to everyone. So, the villagers disliked him. One day, they went to clear the weeds on their fields. The villagers discussed, "Let Nangbya clear the weeds and burn his field. When he burns his field which is in the middle of our fields, we will burn ours. Then, he will die." After clearing their fields, they prepared to burn the fields. They said to Nangbya, "Let's burn our fields today. Since your field is in the middle of ours, you burn it first. We will burn our fields after you." When Nangbya went into the deepest area of his field, the villagers burnt all of their fields. They intentionally tried to kill Nangbya. They thought he was dead. The next day, they went there again to take Nangbya's corpse back to the village. But they couldn't find his dead body. They were shock and surprised. They said, "What kind of person is he!? He didn't die even though we burnt him." In fact, Nangbya knew that the villagers would deceive him. So, he dug a bunker ahead. He built it perfectly and made sure the smoke not to come in. As soon as the villagers burnt the fields, he went into his bunker and hid there. When the fire was put out by itself, he went out from his bunker and escaped the fire. But, the villagers didn't know that. They wanted to kill him at first, but now they were even afraid of Nangbya. Transcription (Lu Awng) E ya gaw yi galai ai lam.

翻译（丽塔·盛迈）：本故事讲述南比亚（Nangbya）与村民焚烧田地的轶事。南比亚曾向众人撒谎，因此村民们对其心怀不满。某日，村民们前往田间除草，商议道："让南比亚先除草并焚烧他的田地。当他焚烧位于我们田地中央的自家地块时，我们再引燃各自的田地，如此一来他必死无疑。" 除草完毕后，村民们准备点火烧田，对南比亚说道："今日我们一同烧田，因你的田地处于我们地块的中心位置，你需率先点燃。我们随后便跟进。" 当南比亚进入自家田地的最深处时，村民们随即引燃了所有田地，蓄意谋害南比亚，并认定他已身亡。次日，村民们再度前往现场，欲将南比亚的尸体运回村中，却未能寻获其遗体。众人震惊不已，说道："他究竟是何等人物？即便我们纵火焚烧，他竟未死！" 事实上，南比亚早已预料到村民会欺骗自己，遂提前挖掘了掩体，建造得极为牢固，确保烟雾无法渗入。村民们纵火后，南比亚立刻进入掩体藏匿其中。待火势自行熄灭后，他从掩体中走出，成功脱离火海。但村民对此毫不知情。他们本欲置南比亚于死地，如今反倒对其心生畏惧。
