Semetey. The Relocation of Semetey from Bukhara to Talas. Part - 2

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

On the occasion of arriving in Talas
As a sign of return and meeting of loved ones
Semetey organized the best celebration
He slaughtered six hundred mares!

Kulchoro and Kanchoro decided to adopt
Kanykey chose the right path
She offered her right breast to Kulchoro
Leaving the left for Kanchoro!

From the breast that Kulchoro suckled
Childish colostrum flowed again
From the breast that Kanchoro suckled
Flowed treacherous, black blood

Seeing this as a portent
Semetey accepted the mother's admonitions:
- Kanchoro will not be your friend
Destroy him now, while he is small!

Semetey was angry with his mother:
- Better not to live than to despise
Have you forgotten? Kulchoro and Kanchoro
Both are my sworn brothers!

After the nationwide celebration
Semetey went hunting
The people rejoiced and marveled
He is braver than Manas himself!

Even the frail, toothless old women
Chewed on the fat of the ram
The poor, who had up to a thousand sheep
Life became plentiful for the needy

One day, Semetey said to Bakay:
- Abyke must marry Kanykey
I will invite him as a guest, with Koybesh
We need to forget the enmity and become kin!

If the relatives of my father
And the choro become our true friends
Then, there will be no more enemies
Who would dare to fight us

Our horses have rested, healed their wounds
The warriors began to grieve in idleness
The time has come, oh, to the Chinese khan
To take revenge for the gray-maned Manas!

Bakay approved what Semetey said
Kanykey replied this time:
- As long as Kyrgynchal and Tazbaymat are alive, there will be no friends!
Just as there will be no homeland Talas!

- Abyke and Koybesh are obedient to them
They have gotten used to teaching all the choro!
- You talk too much! – said Semetey to her
He ordered his mother to be silent

At that time, a certain man died
One of Semetey's close ones, an elder
A rich man named Baymyrza
Who reached ninety-five years!

To make the name of Baymyrza known
Semetey decided to hold a wake
He slaughtered the choicest mares
The people were immediately informed about this

Wearing protective clothing against bullets
He sent Sarykhan to Abyke with Koybesh
Giving him battle gear
He ordered him to mount the horse Tuuchunaka

Sending Sarykhan, Semetey said:
- Tell Abyke with Koybesh
With his forty choro
Let them come to the wake!

- They are relatives, not enemies
Let them lay earth on the grave
Tell them to come without refusal
To my aiyl soon!

Sarykhan, cracking the whip on Tuuchunaka
Overtaking the flying birds on the way
Reached the camp of Abyke and Koybesh
There he saw a gathering of different faces!

The camp was teeming with a numerous army
The whole earth trembled like an anthill!
He began to look for what this meant?
Sarykhan, tightening the reins of his horse!

Shuutu rode out to meet him
He told of the purpose of Sary's arrival
He asked: - Why did you gather the army?
To this, Shuutu replied:

- They gathered the khans who hate Manas
Chinkodjo, Urbyu and this is their scheme
To die themselves, in order
To kill the orphan Semetey!

- They plotted to throw Bakay and Kanykey
To the dogs for food!
Since you have come, ride up and meet them
But do not dismount from your horse, otherwise they will kill you!

- I have a mission from Semetey
It would be shameful not to fulfill it! – thought Sarykhan about this
He decided to heed this advice
He remained on his horse, while Shuutu entered the house

- Baymyrza has died, - he said to Abyke with Koybesh
In memory, Semetey slaughtered mares
Sarykhan came to invite you and the choro
To see the faces of your loved ones at the grave

Half-drunk Urbyu and Chinkodjo
Who were drinking arak with Abyke
Rushed out in rage into the yard
In what they were, right in their light clothes

They ordered to catch the messenger
To cut off his head quickly
With drunken shouts, clumsily they began
To mount their horses

Sarykhan took a spear in his hands
Rearing his horse, he was ready for battle
Urbyu charged first at the hero
And paid for it with his head

Striking the whip of his horse
Kyrgynchal rushed at Sary
Sarykhan struck him with a spear
The blade pierced through his chest

Like a rag, Kyrgynchal hung on the spear
Sary twisted the body over his head
The body of Kyrgynchal fell from the spear
It slapped against the ground, spinning like a top

Fearless Tazbaymat joined the fight
Sarykhan struck him, knocking him off his saddle
The enemy fell dead to the ground
The fate of the third was already decided!

Abyke with Koybesh began to gather the army
They sounded the trumpets, beat the drums
Ten thousand warriors, Sary
Surrounded them within minutes!

Sarykhan realized he could not cope
Then he decided not to risk himself
He fled from the battlefield as fast as he could
To tell everything to Semetey and Bakay!

He pressed the spear to his chest, grabbed his sword
He struck Tuuchunaka on the legs
He began to chop off heads in succession
To the enemies who crossed his path

Breaking free from the encirclement, he rushed
Sarykhan, with all his strength, into the steppe
Killing numerous enemies
They tried to catch him, but did not succeed!

Like a whirlwind, Sarykhan rushed
Letting the reins go, not sparing Tuuchunaka
From sunset to sunrise
Covered in blood, he arrived at Semetey

He conveyed to Bakay and Semetey
What he had seen, heard, and what had happened
With great anger, Bakay boiled over at that moment
And then said in a loud voice:

- I did not fight with such worthless ones
But with a Chinese warrior who shook the earth!
Like ants, their numerous army
I heroically turned them into flour!

- Abyke with Koybesh did not yield
I fought with them in unending enmity
Now the orphan is with me and there is enough strength
Not only to deal with them, but with the whole universe!

Bakay ordered to beat the drum
When all the people gathered, he raised the banner
He divided the troops into hundreds, stationed them on the paths
From where the enemy might appear
