Interpretasyon ng Epikong “Indarapatra at Sulayman”

Interpretation of the Epic “Indarapatra at Sulayman”



1.

Noong unang panahon, doon sa lupain ng Mindanao

Puro katubigan ang nangingibabaw

Binabalot nito mga kapatagan

Kaya mga tao'y nakatira sa kabundukan

(Once upon a time, in the land of Mindanao yonder

Rising almost was water

Covering the plains

So people reside on the mountains)



2.

Sa loob ng mahabang panahon

Mapayapa't masagana doon

(For a time lengthy

There's peace & prosperity)



3.

Hanggang sa dumating halimaw na apat

Salot at kasawian ang sumambulat

(Until arrive four monsters

Pestilence & death disperse)



4.

Si Kurita na maraming kamay

Kayrami ring sinaktan at pinatay

(Kurita with many arms

Also many it kills and harms)



5.

Nananatili ito sa bundok na tinutubuan ng rattan

Sa bundok na ang ngalan ay Kabalan

(It stays on the mountain where grew rattan

On the mountain named Kabalan)



6.

Mabangis na higante naman ang pangalawang halimaw

Kung tawagin siya ay Tarabusaw

(The second monster is a giant not tame

He is Tarabusaw by name)



7.

Sa Bundok Matutum ito ay nakatira

Panghampas na kahoy sandata niya

(On Mount Matutum it lives on

A tree club is its weapon)



8.

Ang pangatlo kung turingan ay Pah

O kaylaking ibon ng Bundok Bita

(Pah is the epithet of the third one

Oh bird of Mt. Bita so gargantuan)



9.

Kapag mga pakpak niya'y ibinukadkad

Kadiliman sa lupa'y lumaladlad

(When its wings are opened wide

Darkness on land do not hide)



10.

Sa Bundok Kurayan ang halimaw na panghuli

Isang dambuhalang ibon iri

(The last monster on Mt. Kurayan

Also a bird gigantic one)



11.

May pitong ulong lahat ng direksiyon ay tanaw

Grabeng maminsala ang nasabing halimaw

(With seven heads that can see on all directions

This monster brought so great devastations)



12.

Lubos na mapaminsala itong halimaw na apat

Kaya sa kanila takot ang lahat

(So destructive are these four monsters

That's why them everyone fears)



13.

Maliban sa isang prinsipeng mula Mantapuli

Si Sulayman itong kaytapang na lalaki

(Except for one prince from Mantapuli

Sulayman is this man of bravery)



14.

Si Haring Indarapatra nagpabaon

Isang singsing sa kapatid niyang yaon

(Given by Indarapatra King

To that his brother a ring)



15.

Isa ring pananaim inilagay niya

Sa tabi ng kanyang bintana

(A plant he placed also

Beside his window)



16.

Kapag daw nalanta ang halaman

Kapatid niya'y inabot ng kasawian

(If that plant withers

Death to his brother enters)



17.

At si Sulayman nagtungo sa Kabalan

Tinalo si Kurita na kalaban

(And Sulayman to Kabalan went ahead

The foe Kurita he defeated)



18.

Pagkatapos ay sa Matutum dumalaw

Pinuksa naman si Tarabusaw

(After which to Matutum visited

Tarabusaw too was exterminated)



19.

Sunod na pinuntahan ay Bita

Napatay niya doon si Pah

(Next destination was Bita

There he was able to kill Pah)



20.

Pero dambuhalang pakpak sa kanya'y dumagan

Inabot si Sulayman ng kamatayan

(But he was crushed by the enormous wing

Death to Sulayman was reaching)



21.

Sa oras na iyon ay nalanta ang pananim

Kasawian ng kapatid batid ng hari't nanimdim

(At that moment the plant shriveled

Brother's death perceived by king and lamented)



22.

Labi ni Sulayman tinunton niya

Binuhay ang lalaki gamit ang tubig na mahiwaga

(Traced he the corpse of Sulayman

Using magical water resurrected the man)



23.

Si Sulayman ay nagdesisyong umuwi

Si Indarapatra'y haharapin ang kalabang panghuli

(Sulayman to home decided to go

Indarapatra will face the final foe)



24.

Sa wakas ay napuksa rin ang ibong may pitong ulo

Sa pag-uwi ng hari may nakilalang dilag ito

(At last slain was the bird with heads that are seven

Upon the king's return he met a maiden)



25.

‘Di nagtagal nag-isang dibdib ang dalawa

At muling nagbalik katiwasayan sa lupa

(Not later the two wedded

And in the land serenity reverted).
