Semetey. Semetey's Trip to Talas. Part - 6

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!

She rushed down from the tower
Ran to Chiyrdy and said:
- Joyful news! Our orphan has returned!
Chiyrdy cried, and suddenly got out of bed
Gathering, Temir-khan and Ismail
Together with joyful, happy Kanikei
They hurried to meet him
Upon learning that Semetey was coming

Kumayik, seeing Kanikei again
Expressing her joy and sorrow
With a squeal, she hid in her embrace
The mother cried, feeling sorry for her

Seeing the tears of Kanikei and Kumayik
The sympathizers could not hold back their tears
Among the people, a conversation arose:
“The fortune has passed from father to son!”

He is more beautiful than Manas himself
To avoid the evil eye on her son right away
Kanikei ordered to slaughter bulls
She distributed all the meat to the people

In anger, Semetey said to his mother:
- Where is my homeland? Where is my people now?
You disgraced my name, you fled
I will move to live in Talas right now!

- Bakai and Sarytaz, of course, will be with us
Abike, Chinkodjo, Kulchoro
Will become battle friends
With me, the son of Chubak, Kanchoro!

- I will gather a large army of Kyrgyz
I will not forgive Konur for my father's death
To all the Chinese people, from now on
I declare a merciless war!

Temir-khan began to speak to Semetey:
- Why are you in such a hurry? What is so unbearable for you?
Maybe the enemy is coming from China?
I will gather the Bukhara people to help you!

Semetey replied to Temir-khan:
- I will go to my homeland, I will fatten the horses
To avenge my father's death
I will gather brave people there!
- Before the campaign to China, I will write a letter
To you and the khans, so that they do not wait
Gather a numerous army
And provide me with assistance in the campaign!

- I raised you since childhood – said Temir
- I was able to proclaim you the Khan of Bukhara
If you leave us, enemies will come
And they will be able to ruthlessly defeat us!

He firmly persuaded his grandson to stay
Deceiving the boy and frightening him
But Semetey did not listen to Temir-khan
He even began to get a little angry with him

Temir-khan realized that Semetey would leave
He could not dissuade him in any way
Then he gathered the elders for a council
To think about how to send Semetey off?

- We have raised the orphan since childhood
Now he can firmly tell us:
- “You once separated me from my relatives!
From my homeland, which is like my mother!”

- He can cause irreparable harm!
Temir continued: - And destroy Bukhara!
Isn't it better for us to agree now?
To send him off safely to his homeland!

Ismail and Temir-khan called Semetey:
- If you have decided to go, then go
Take whatever you want with you
Just never forget us!

- Here is your property – take it
Here is our people for you, and without words
We will always help and support you
We will not spare our heads for you!

By Semetey's order, Sarytaz
Was summoned to Bukhara to take his office
They dressed him in a golden robe
His name became - Sary-khan
Temir drove out a thousand fattened tulpars
He offered his grandson a choice
Kanikei chose a black-maned horse
On which she rode when she was young

Sary-khan liked Tuchunak
He chose this horse for himself
Temir opened all his storages
He began to load for eight camels

Bales full of gold on the animals
Were covered with silks and carpets
Eighty warriors tied golden reins
To the camels

- We cannot allow – said Temir-khan
- For Semetey to leave single
Gather girls older than sixteen
Whichever he likes, let my grandson take with him!

The subjects of Bukhara gathered
Beautiful girls before Manas's son
He chose the one who, neither the moon nor the sun
Is comparable in beauty only to a ruby

This girl is the daughter of Shatemir-khan
The beauty was called Chachykey
Her father came to Temir with grief
When Semetey chose her as a bride

- The groom for my daughter was Chinkodjo
What should I do now, tell me?
I am pleased that Semetey took her
I am worried about what to do with Chinkodjo, believe me!

Temir-khan answered ominously:
- I will answer to Chinkodjo!
And you go, live peacefully
I ask you not to remember this anymore!

Temir-khan slaughtered a hundred mares
Not sparing his wealth
He arranged a glorious and great one
Giving Chachykey to Semetey!
