~AKEN BALI KARING~
“Oi.. yu banuk, nai mik kelo koman
ji. Uking ji batek tiling tawan edo dio kelangan kelo koman adam kelonan le mik
di” dau Bali Kelapit mipa iya. “ja..petira’ tepat oo toyang. Dalem omak mading
melan kena tepat ke nasak kelonan. Ikem pat pe kelo koman, ake pe kelo koman”
dau Bali Karing kida pat bane. “Ja.. ya tepat ke pekeno’ ading idang pado’ batu
tosan, obane mencat kayat payang boan tepat pegita batong osa yung inan le
keji. Ya tepat ke pekeno tawai oyan. Obane nempam oo dik, ya tepat nasak kelonan
ne. Ikem pat pe ti, ake pe kelo ke ti” dau Bali Karing kida pat bane.
“We are here to
feed on the humans. We love to eat human corpses.” replied Bali Kelapit.
“Let us gather here today and held a
discussion before we finish the humans for good. If the Bali Kelapit wants to
eat, we also want to eat.” said Bali Karing to all the Bali Dayungs.
“Let’s cherish this moment because we seldom
had the chance to meet and talk to each other like the good old days. Tomorrow
we all will finish the humans. We’ll do it together.” continued Bali Karing
convincing Bali Kelapit to fall for his trap.
“Ja...tega peja to” dau Bali Kelapit
mane. “ja juko’ ik ke engkin tepat kira ke pekeno’ alem ii. Pekeno’ tepat
petira, lepa tepat sereta dik, ya tepat kancet ne oo.” dau Karing mane. “Kancet
tepat miwet lepet legoan oo dik, ja tepat nasak kelonan oo” dau Karing. “enta
peja salak to. Tega te tepat kancet. Yu pe oyan tepat nyelawan awang diman” dau
Bali Kelapit da.
“That sounds like
a great plan.” said Bali Kelapit. “Tonight we laugh and talk to each other just
like the old times. After that, we will kancet
(traditional kenyah dance) to
enlighten the night before we kill all humans tomorrow.” said Bali Karing. “We had no problem with that. What
better way to spend the night than by having fun with friends? Let’s kancet
everyone!” said Bali Kelapit excitedly.
~BUAK BALIU~
“Boka idai dik toyang, tai nuk alak
buak jidai me tepat te” dau Bali Karing ke Laing Madang mane. Un oban dau ca
buak baliu mane. Ja dau kenai Laing Madang engkin buak jidai mida pat oo ja.
“Ja.. tepat ti ngan buak ji ading toyang. Aka pe lan awang diman, uko’ nising
de ji nyiuk nyiwan oman buak ji toyang” dau Bali Karing mane. Jane ne dau re
pat oman buak ja mane. Oi.. uko’ sik yu re ne ida pat oman buak jidai. Oban e
enta singket kida pat le dau. “Oi.. pesilak ujok toyang boka enta singket.” Ja
dau palai nemek nyilak ujok palai mida pat.
“My friend, could
you please get the special fruit for us?” requested Bali Karing to Laing
Madang. The fruit is actually a cursed fruit. Those who eat the fruit will turn
to stone if they laugh. Laing Madang went to get the fruit and brought some for
all of them.
“My friends, let’s eat these fruits. These
fruits taste very sweet, just like honey.” said Bali Karing. All of them ate
the fruits. They really enjoyed eating the fruit. They even licked each other
hands as the fruits were not enough for all of them.
~KANCET BALI DAYUNG~
“Ja..
boka idai dik toyang, jane dau le badak me tepat, kancet ne tepat ading lempe.
Ake ading tai me tepat. Ek je mencam petoyau sampik adau kiyong tawan ji me
tepat eto?”dau Bali Karing mane. “Oi..ake ti” dau ca Bali Bila didai mane . Ya
dau Bali Bila jidai nginak metit sampik jidai ne bane. Ting ketik ting..ting
ketik ting dau toyau ja ne ka.
“If you are
ready, lets Kancet. I will go first. Who knows how to play this sape’?” asked
Bali Karing. “I’ll play the sape’.” said one of the Bali Bila. Then he played
the sape’ melodiously.
Un dau kena ka, Bali Karing bada ne
me Laing Madang. “Abo nik tai aya liwai liling oo dik toyang, ya uk mesun
nyatap keleput ja kakik ne oo. Ayen em pat gerak oo. Talan ne Bali Kelapit da
gerak. Ikem pat bali dayung de ca di ayen gerak”.
Before the feast,
Bali Karing had told Laing Madang their plan, “Once I’ve finished my eighth
round Kancet, hit me with the
spearheaded blowpipe. Do not laugh! Let only all the Bali Kelapits laugh. But
make sure all the Bali Dayungs are informed too. Otherwise all of you will turn
to stone!”
~BALI AKANG~
Tapik
un oban dau Bali Akang mane, enta repat badak me Bali Akang. Ya Bali Akang tai
pekelet adung ngan empun Bali Kelapit. Jane dau Bali Karing nading kancet ne ka
odai. Bali Bila didai nginak ti sampik ne ka odai. Tai kedau batuk Karing
daduk, tai ke dau e boet. Beng salau gerak ne dau Bali Kelapit da taan kise
gayak ja.
Unfortunately,
Bali Akangs didn’t know the plan. No one told them. The Bali Akangs sat among
Bali kelapits. Bali Karing’s Kancet really amused them. His neck grew longer
and sometimes shorter. The Bali Kelapits were so entertained and had a good
laugh.
~ SPEARHEADED BLOWPIPE~
Sukung
aya liwai liling e kancet odai mane, ya dau Laing Madang nginak mesun nyatap
keleput jidai ke Karing ne ka odai. Ya kementem awang ne. Ojan negen ngan layam
kasa ka odai mane. Lo lo le dau ja odai. Majan le dau ojan kasa ja. Idi ne beng
kelelem kelelem dau. Ya dau gey ke usun langit te ne.
As Bali Karing,
the turtle god, completed his eighth round kancet, Laing Madang immediately hit
Bali Karing with the spearheaded blowpipe. All of a sudden, the sky turned
darker. Heavy rain and fierce storm hit them. It seemed like it won’t stop.
Terrifying sounds came from the sky with strikes of lightning.
Oo
ja ya adang tekelit putik ne. Nai e dema ne oo. Tai repat naat mane, kalak
lungkung ke batu. Baliu ne oban mung Bali Kelapit ngan Bali Akang didai. Tapik
je tega oo oban repat sokat pudip Bali Akang da laa. Cin ja ne dau Bali Akang
paliu ngadan repat. Ngadan mading ida oyan jane Long Dengen enta tisen yu au yu
oyan. Ji suak oban re enta tisen aken Bali Karing, Laing Madang ngan Bali
Dayung dalau ja te. Ja ne bayak Bali Kelapit da ka oo ja. Enta ne un dek ngejaat kelonan ngebayak ne odai.
The next morning,
they discovered rocks all around. The Bali Kelapits and Bali Akangs had been
cursed. They turned to stones. Luckily, the other Bali Dayungs managed to safe Bali Akangs and
turned them back to normal. Since that day, Bali Akangs change their name to
Long Dengen because they didn’t know the plan that the other Bali Dayungs had
made. For the Bali Kelapits, that was the end for them. Since then, the Kenyah
Badeng people recovered and were free from the Kelapit disease.
