KK1-0579 - Nbyen Tawng kaw na nat ni a lam (Spirits in the Nbyen Tawng village) with English translation

Translation (Rita) I would like to tell you about an event which happened in Nbyen Tawng village in Daru Mahka Hkawng zone.You have to be disciplined and can't say bad words when you pass that place.There are many evil Nat spirits and wild animals in that place.People had lots of severe accidents there. Nbyen Tawng village is quite far away from the place where people live. If we come from Myitkyina to go to other places, we have to sleep a night at Nbyen Tawng village. After passing that village, there are some villagers at Lani Sat village.We had passed that way where there were many evil Nat spirits. I'd like to tell you about that.Many people warned us that there were that kind of evil spirit on that way. But we were in a group and thought nothing would happen to us. We decided to sleep there. But because of some young people who didn't follow the rules, we had been haunted.People said that we shouldn't carry water with a pot at night there. But, since there were many people when we were at that village, some were carrying water, some were picking banana leaves and some were collecting woods. While we were sleeping at night, a tiger suddenly appeared and came into the middle of us. We were so shocked and shouted like hell. Then, the tiger went into the forest and disappeared.Not only that, the heavy rain was suddenly pouring at that time.It was a heavy and windy rain. We were frightened the whole night. I had been in that kind of situation. I just would like to share my experience. In Kachin, there are still Nat spirits in some places.

### 讲述者：丽塔（Rita）
今为诸位详述发生于达鲁马卡考（Daru Mahka Hkawng）辖区恩边唐（Nbyen Tawng）村寨的一则轶事。途经此地者须恪守仪轨，不得口出秽亵之言。此处多邪祟纳（Nat spirits）精灵与猛兽，过往行人屡遭惨烈祸事。恩边唐村寨距常住居民聚落颇为辽远，若从密支那（Myitkyina）出发前往其他区域，须在此村寨留宿一夜。过此村寨后，拉尼萨特（Lani Sat）村寨有村民定居。吾辈曾行经多邪祟精灵的路段，多人曾警示此路存在此类邪灵，然吾辈彼时结伴同行，自忖无虞，遂决意留宿。不料部分年轻人违逆当地禁忌，以致吾辈遭遇邪祟侵扰。当地人曾告诫，夜间不得以锅具携水，但吾辈在村寨时随行人员众多，或取水、或采摘芭蕉叶、或捡拾柴薪。入夜酣眠之际，一头猛虎突然闯入宿营地中央，众人惊骇至极，失声惊呼，旋即老虎遁入林间消失无踪。不仅如此，彼时突降狂风骤雨，吾辈整夜惶惶不安。吾曾亲历此番险境，仅愿将这段经历分享给诸位。在克钦（Kachin）部分区域，仍有纳精灵出没。
