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!
Then Shuutu stepped forward and said:
Going against the spirit of Manas is a bad idea
Unfortunate is he who will not survive
Who also goes against Semetey!
He spoke many dreadful words
Out of fear, the choro's faces changed
None of them, stunned, dared
To defend Kёbёsh-khan
Meanwhile, Bakay and Semetey
After the slaughter began to retreat
They traveled a great distance
Stopped for the night and lay down to sleep
In the morning, Bakay told Semetey:
- Last night I had a dream
That I had not seen for twelve years
I don't know whether to die or rejoice!
- This dream is a harbinger of happiness and good fortune!
Semetey did not stop insisting to Bakay
They climbed to the ridge, to the mountain
Began to look into the distance and observe
Suddenly, in a thick, high cloud of dust
A red horse appeared, yes, not for nothing
Bakay understood first what was going on:
- Taiyburul is looking for you, my orphan!
- He will serve you in your campaigns!
The horse ran up to Semetey
Sniffed him affectionately and extended
His red and sinewy neck
Seeing this, Semetey thought:
- Although the horse is just an animal
He honors the memory of my father
Can I really refuse him?
With Taiyburul came running
The invisible mare of Manas
In memory of the khan, Semetey and Bakay
Slaughtered her as a sacrifice at that very moment
Many Kyrgyz on their way
Fleeing to the mountains, met the khans
Learning that Semetey had arrived
They shouted with joy!
From aul to aul, the happy ones galloped
Not hiding their illuminated faces
The poor sacrificed rams
The rich did not spare mares
Kardygach, all this time, observed
So that no harm would come to her relatives
When Semetey armed himself with his father's armor
Calmed down, she returned to her aul
Semetey and Bakay continued their journey
Suddenly, by chance, in some wonderful moment
Wagging its tail, came to meet them
The glorious dog of Manas – Kumayik
Akshumkar flew out to meet them
He entrusted the chick to him
Bakay tied the leashes to him
Semetey placed him on his arm
The khan, in his joy, having caught Akshumkar
Decided to sacrifice Aqtulpara
But Bakay dissuaded him, scolding
This would upset Temir-khan, who gave the horse
- I promised to return to my mother
That day has come, I will leave now!
Semetey assured Bakay
- After visiting Bukhara, I will return again to Talas!
Semetey did everything he dreamed of
He mounted the horse, donning Manas's armor
Placed Akshumkar on his arm
And prepared to leave from Talas
He loaded the cargo on Aqtulpara
- "I am taking Kumayik with me!"
Saying this, he embraced Bakay
And set off back to Bukhara
- If I do not come to her today
My mother will die of grief and longing
Semetey pondered on the way
Tightening the reins on the horse.
