Part - 3 Adzhibay, brother of Aichurek, was known For his eloquence, but he was a coward Tumenbay, another brother, was silent But he was brave and skilled in battle
After Muradyl's death, the remaining Chinese could not resist and fled. The entire numerous enemy army was ruthlessly slaughtered. Semetey, Bakay, Kulchoro, and Kanchoro let the captured horses into their herds and continued their journey towards their ails. The bullet that hit Semetey from Konurbay lodged in his bone. While fighting Muradyl, in the heat of the moment he did not feel the pain of the wound. When the battle ended and the heroes had traveled some distance, clots of black
Part - 2 The delay of Kulchoro troubled the khan He began to worry about his fate: - I sent my brother on a fruitless journey! Perhaps he drowned or fell in battle?
Konurbay ordered his army to prepare for the campaign, warning that anyone who did not follow his orders would have their heads removed. There were no disobedient among his orders. Out of fear of him, the entire population began to prepare. Meanwhile, Konurbay decided that he needed to see Semetey at least once himself, to weigh his own strength, and if it turned out that he could handle him alone, one-on-one, he would not gather his troops. If, however, it proved too much for him alone, he
Taking with him fourteen tulpars Twenty-five khans' sons Accompanied by Kulchoro and Kanchoro Semetey set off on a long journey He rode in search of Akshumkar Day and night continuing his path Approaching the lands of Akhun-khan He stopped to rest
The separation from Akshumkar was heavy - It felt like my father died again! Semetey wept bitterly for the bird He finally decided to find the falcon! - It was not an ordinary swan that took him away! Kulchoro and Kanchoro said We will go to Sarykhan, to Kankey, to Bakay They have seen many wonders and know much!
While they were riding, he kept recalling the campaign of Manas, showing where they had stopped for the night and telling where and with whom they had fought. When they approached a certain pass, Bakai stopped and said:
Once, while on the road, Bakai looked ahead and fancied that Manas, Almambet, and Chubak were riding at the head of the group. Lost in thought, he began to ponder: "Am I really seeing these lions before me, or is it just an illusion?" Upon closer inspection, he saw that it was Semetey, Kulchoro, and Kanchoro. They resembled their fathers Manas, Almambet, and Chubak so closely that it seemed as if their fathers' skins had been taken off and put on their children. Bakai was very
At that time, Semetey, riding Taking Kulchoro and Kanchoro with him Catching many geese and bustards Were returning home to their aiyl from the hunt - You are always leaving me! Chachikey said, coming out to meet him Taking Akshumkara – the falcon with her Each time I miss you more and more!
No more people remained who could oppose Semetey; he defeated all his enemies, married Aichurek, and became khan instead of his father Manas. The time came when he began to govern the people independently, encountering no resistance. One night, Manas appeared to Semetey in a dream and said:
Aichuriek flew around all parts of the world In Kashgar, she saw the hero Kanytbek In Andijan, she met Synchibek In Margilan – the young Molabek She met Aikodjo’s son – Belerik No one pleased her She met Elemana’s son Teshtyuk with Koshoy Each one had already aged for her
When Toltoy’s wound healed, he began to consult with Chinkodjo. Sitting together, they reasoned as follows: - Akhun-khan will not voluntarily give us Aichurek, so let’s send our numerous army into battle. We will kill Akhun-khan, bind Adjibai and Tyumenbai by their necks like slaves, and take all their girls and young women, led by Aichurek, as spoils. If the Afghans dare to resist, we will wipe them out to the last one, destroy their homes, turn their city into a desert, and leave not a stone
When Almambet's son, Kulchoro Turned twelve years old Chubak's son - Kanchoro Turned fourteen in response Their strength was such That they could not find a worthy enemy Or a mountain to lean on Or to fight the foe on the way
Kulchoro, upon learning of Toltoy’s departure, mounted Taiyburul, donned the semetey akolpok, and, taking his syrnayzu, galloped to meet the groom. He waited a long time for the enemy to appear and finally, without dismounting, leaned on his spear and fell asleep. Feeling Toltoy's approach, Taiyburul began to stomp his hooves on the ground and neigh, but Kulchoro still did not wake up. His sleep only ended when Taiyburul bit him. Awakening, Kulchoro first got angry at his horse, then
Among the forty choro, there were different people Smart and foolish, a brave one and a coward, and an enemy Gathered together, they discussed Among themselves, precisely, like this: - We have always defeated our enemies But the glory of fame only went to Manas Kankor is not any braver than us Despite this, we obeyed!
Let Semetey, exercising the right of a bridegroom, lie in the palace of Aichurek. Leaving him in peace, we will move on to the story of Chinkodjo and Toltoy. *** Ajibai, Aichurek's brother, was known for his remarkable eloquence, but he was a coward. Tyumenbai, another brother, was not eloquent, but he was brave.
When Semetey saw that Kёbёsh was dead He did not wish to do this at all Despair engulfed him with sadness Bitterly weeping, he began to lament: - Oh, I am a tailless and maneless kulan! I have become like a snake that has no legs I have no brothers, no relatives I have grown up all alone in this whole world! - I wanted to be in alliance with Abike To hand over the battle banner to Bakai To wage war against China To avenge the lion Manas with this!
After that, Semetey set off on his journey. Driving fourteen horses before him and taking with him the sons of twenty-five khans, accompanied by Kulchoro and Kanchoro, he rode in search of Akshumkar to the city of Akhun-khan. They traveled without stopping day or night, and when they approached the borders of Akhun-khan's lands, they stopped at one place to rest. After resting, Semetey took the spyglass left by the gray-maned Manas and began to survey the lands of Akhun-khan and the
Kanykey was frightened and, crying loudly, She began to speak to Semetey in prayer: - The enemies Abyke and Kyobesh are no joke, So, prepare well for battle! Stubborn Semetey did not listen to his mother, Not wanting to know anything about Abyke and Kyobesh, He let her words pass by his ears And calmly lay down to sleep on his bed.
At that time, Konurbay was already ninety-five years old, but he was brave, strong, and daring, all of which she liked about him. She was only troubled by the fact that he was of such advanced age. - If he were twenty-five or thirty years old, - she thought, - despite the fact that he is a kapyr, I would marry him to take revenge on Chinkodjo and Toltoy.
Semetey set up his camp in this place With forty cripples, Belyokbay returned He brought with him five hundred Kyrgyz families With tears in his eyes, touched Bakay Buruulcha brought her son to Semetey Weeping, her son Kulchoro The son of Chubak – Kanchoro came Whom Kambar-choro raised
When Kulchoro, the son of Almambet, turned twelve years old, and Kanchoro, the son of Chubak, turned fourteen, their strength was such that they could not find enemies to fight or even a mountain to lean on. Semetey called both of them, as well as Bakay, Sary-khan, and Ormon-khan, and said to them:
Loading gold onto the one-humped camels After the joyful wedding, Semetey Said goodbye to Ismail and Temir And set off on his journey, taking Chachykey with him He handed the banner to Sara-khan Seeing that Akshumkar was bored Semetey stopped along the way To amuse himself with falconry
Among the forty choro, there were both smart and foolish, brave and cowardly. One day, gathering together, they began to discuss among themselves: - In the times of Manas, we defeated our enemies, but the glory went to Manas. Manas was no braver than us, yet we were his warriors and obeyed him. Should we now submit to his son?
At that time, Chiyrdy fell ill In worry, Kanikei's moan was heard: - Why, my unfortunate one, are you late? When will he finally arrive? She took Manas's spyglass And climbed up Kanikei's tower She saw that someone was coming It was her son – Semetey!
Kanikei, seeing and hearing everything that was happening, was immensely frightened and, crying loudly, began to speak to Semetey: - My dear orphan, as long as Abyke and Kyobesh are alive, Talas will not be our homeland, and the Kyrgyz will not be our people: they are not joking enemies. Therefore, look, prepare well for battle.
Part - 5 Forty choro returned home A considerable amount of time had passed At that moment, a battle was taking place Akylai came out to them and said: - You must please me Show all your might Take revenge on Semetey – the orphan He beat Kёbёsh and took the property!
After the joyful wedding of Semetey, he took Chachykey with him, loading gold onto eighty red one-humped camels, handed the banner to Sara-khan, bid farewell to Temir-khan and Ismail, and set off on his journey. He rode on Taybuurul, with Akshumkar sitting on his arm, and along the way, he stopped to entertain himself with falconry using dogs. Seeing this beautiful procession, the ones traveling with him, Kanykey and Chiyyrdy, were immensely happy and said to each other:
