Semetey. The Quarrel of Semetey with Chinkodjo. Part - 4

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!

Kulchoro and Kanchoro rode to Bakay
They told him what had happened
- Only Chachikay knows the secret
But she will not say what is what!

- You need to bring your wife to her
Jamgyrchi's wife and Sarykhan
Let her tell them everything
Without her cunning and without deceit!

The khans sent their wives to Chachikay
She told them nothing
She scolded all the old women fiercely
Almost beat them and drove them all away

She cursed those who came after
The three khans, led by Bakay
- No one has ever insulted me
Bakay said: - What is wrong with her, we do not know?

Oh, I am an unfortunate old man! - cried Bakay
I have received insults from the newlyweds
Why did I not die with Manas?
He cried from the grievances, like a little camel

Kulchoro and Kanchoro, having called them to him
Kankey said to them at that moment:
- Chachikay has become arrogant, she has no right
To command or forbid any of us!

How could you, fools, allow
To insult Bakay without a response!?
Now it is your duty and your task
To strictly punish her for this!

Kulchoro went for Chachikay
He started pulling her by the hair
He broke her head until it bled
She began to cry and scream!
Fearing for her life greatly
Chachikay said: - I know the secret!
- Akshumkar was taken away by the daughter of Akhun-khan!
Hearing this, Kulchoro came to Bakay

- It’s true, it’s true! I remember now!
Bakay said, having heard the news
At the funeral of Kökötey, Akhun-khan with Manas
They agreed on the betrothal of unborn children

It is true that Semetey has a bride
So that no one thinks to take her for himself
Let him gather a numerous army
Sarykhan, Jamgyrchi, with me at the head!

Kulchoro and Kanchoro thought about this:
- Why should we take all the old men on the campaign?
Are we going to give them away for the bride price?
Let’s go without them! The plan is as follows!

With the decision, they galloped to Semetey:
- Abake, reward him for the joyful news!
Aychurok is your bride
Old Akhun-khan is your true father-in-law!

Turning into a swan, Aychurok
Begged Chachikay to agree
As you are very much liked by her
To become your younger wife!

Chachikay scolded her and insulted her
Not being able to bear her undeserved offense
She took Akshumkar and flew away
Knowing that you would come looking for her!

For the insults inflicted on Bakay
For hiding the fate of Akshumkar
As punishment, we beat Chachikay
She told us everything when the punishment caught up!

- If you are angry with us for this
Then take our heads!
If you want to shed blood – we are here
Make your decision now!
Semetey was very pleased
From the words of the heroes, he learned the truth
He sat them down on his knees
And tenderly said to them quietly:

- For you, dear ones, I will make a sacrifice
Not only a glorious wife but also my soul!
You acted very rightly, brothers!
I will not violate our faithful friendship!
