The Meeting part 2 (english version, this time, and shame is almost killing me because of my horrible translation)

(If you have suggestions for better translation... tell me please...)


“Do you know who the god is that carved the rock near which you're lying?" whispered Sinân to Chaman. And as he did not answer, she continued: “Tears are constantly flowing from his eyes, although he is always smiling. He is the Creator, the One-who-has-no-name.” Then the fawn asked the goddess: “Mother of Knowledge, what did He create?” And the Goddess, flying and twinkling around his nuzzle, answered: “Nothing less than the World and all the stars that surround it! All the gods are His children, and each being received life from Him. “And how did He create them?” Asked the fawn. “And why is He crying, though he seems so happy?” And Sinân ” I’ll tell you all, because His creation makes him sometimes laugh and sometimes cry, and it’s with his tears that He has kneaded the first creatures”. And Chaman, more and more astonished said: “And how did He do that?”
“In the Beginnings, said Sinân, there was no day, and the Creator was wandering in the darkness, alone and sad, until he shed two tears on the ground. And the tears became mud, and with this mud, He created two noble and powerful beings, two deer with huge antlers. Then He blew in their mouth, and gave them life. When He saw them running and jumping, he rejoiced and smiled for the first time.”
Then Shaman asked: "And what happened to the deer then? Because they had nothing to do in the great empty spaces of Beginnings ... "
"They fought. Replied Sinan. And their battle was so violent that they killed each other, flooding the soil with their blood and leaving their wonderful antlers planted in the earth. Then the Creator looked upon the corpses, and he repented of having created so beautiful creature to see them die in such a short time. This was the second time that He wept.”
“How unfortunate it is that the beginnings were marked by such a loss.” Saddened the fawn and he bowed his head, a light misting his eyes.

Chaman's Bio part 2: Création des mondes et des astres. (English version's following...)

« Sais-tu qui est ce dieu sculpté sur la pierre près de laquelle tu te tiens ? » Chuchota Sinân à l’oreille du faon ; et comme celui-ci ne répondait rien, elle poursuivit : « Sans cesse, des larmes coulent de ses yeux, bien que, toujours, tu le verras sourire. C’est le dieu Créateur, Celui-qui-n’a-pas-de-nom.» Alors le faon demanda en pensée : « Ô Mère du Savoir, qu’a-t-Il créé ? » Et la déesse, voltigeant et clignotant autour de lui, répondit : « Rien de moins que le Monde, et tous les astres qui l’environnent ! Les dieux sont ses enfants, et chaque être Lui doit la vie. » « Comment les a-t-il créés ? Poursuivit Chaman. Et pourquoi pleure-t-il ainsi en ayant l’air de se réjouir ? » Et la déesse de continuer : « Je te dirai tout cela, car c’est sa création qui le fait tantôt sourire et tantôt pleurer. Et c’est avec des larmes qu’il a pétri les premières créatures. » Et le faon, de plus en plus étonné : « Et comment a-t-il fait ? »
« Au commencement des temps, dit Sinân, le jour n’existait pas, et le Créateur errait dans la nuit, seul et triste ; c’est pourquoi, plein de douleur, il laissa deux larmes s’écouler de ses yeux et tomber sur la terre. Et Il vit que la terre se mélangeait avec cette eau qu’Il avait sécrété, aussi, façonna-t-il deux êtres puissants et nobles, deux cerfs aux gigantesques ramures, et quand Il les eut pétris, Il souffla dans leur bouche et leur donna vie. Lorsqu’Il les vit marcher et galoper par les grands espaces, le Créateur se réjouit, et sourit pour la première fois. »
Alors Chaman demanda : « Et qu’advint-il des cerfs ensuite ? Car ils ne devaient rien avoir à faire dans les grands espaces vides et nus des Commencements… »
« Ils se battirent. Répondit Sinân. Et leur bataille fut si violente qu’ils se tuèrent l’un l’autre, inondant le sol de leur sang, et laissant plantés en terre leurs quatre bois extraordinaires.

Chaman's Bio part 1: The Meeting (a try of translation...)

It happened that, by a clear night, Chaman woke up and heard a voice who was calling him in the reeds: “Chaman, Chaman…” Rising on his trembling legs and winking his eyes, he left his mother’s side and got to the pond, taking care to not arouse the venerable does, the herd’s mothers, who were sleeping near the banks. And he pushed the tall shivering herbs with his muzzle, and sought who was speaking to him in such a stealth way. When he leant himself on the water, he got surprised to see the fields of the sky, and the hundred lamps of gods, seeming so near. “Chaman, Chaman…” He heard a second time, although that time the fawn was clearly convinced that the voice wasn’t coming from the place he was standing on, but from his very spirit. He almost shouted, believing he was articulating an answer, because although he was dead to humanity, he however had not forgot the language he was speaking a long time ago… But he contained himself and just glanced beside him. His muffled wail didn’t woke up to anybody, and didn’t even stop the frogs who were cawing under the big, tortuous roots of the willows.
“Here am I” thought the fawn, because his mother told him one day that the gods and the invisible beings of the Forest weren’t deaf to mute words. “Bend your legs Chaman, last born of the Farseeing Herd” answered imperiously the voice in a rustle of reeds. “Bend your legs and your neck, because you’re walking on a soil I made sacred.” Then the fawn bent on his front legs, fearful, and touched the earth with his forehead. When this was made, the voice said: “blissful be the one who humiliate himself in front of the gods, without having seen them.” And without moving or answering, Chaman waited the permission to rise, because the bank’s stones were hurting him cruelly. But the voice kept silent, and only the frogs were making heard their hoarse singing in the darkness.

Chaman's Bio part 1: La Rencontre (french version/translation in english very soon!)

Il advint que, par une nuit claire, Chaman s’éveilla et entendit une voix qui l’appelait dans les roseaux : « Chaman, Chaman… ». Se hissant sur ses pattes grêles et clignant des yeux, il quitta le flanc maternel et s’approcha de l’étang, prenant bien garde à ne pas réveiller les biches vénérables, mères de la Harde, qui sommeillaient non loin des berges. Et il poussa du museau les longues tiges frémissantes, et chercha qui lui parlait d’une si furtive manière. Lorsqu’il se pencha sur l’eau, il fut frappé de voir combien les champs des dieux avec tous leurs feux s’y reflétaient clairement, semblant si proches. « Chaman, Chaman… » Entendit-il à nouveau, bien que cette fois, le faon fut clairement convaincu que la voix ne venait plus du lieu où il se tenait, mais bien de son propre esprit. Il faillit pousser un cri, croyant articuler une réponse, car bien qu’étant mort à l’humanité, il n’avait cependant pas oublié la langue qu’il parlait autrefois ; mais il se contint et regarda derrière lui. Son vagissement étouffé n’avait éveillé personne, n’avait pas même interrompu les grenouilles qui, dissimulées sous les tortueuses racines des saules, déroulaient dans les ténèbres leurs litanies sans fin.
« Me voici. » Pensa le faon, car sa mère lui avait dit un jour que les dieux et les êtres des bois ne sont point sourds aux paroles muettes. « Fléchis la patte Chaman, dernier-né de la Harde des Clairvoyants. » Répondit impérieusement la voix dans un bruissement de roseaux. «Fléchis la patte et courbe le col, car tu foule ici un sol que j’ai rendu sacré. » Alors, plein de crainte, le faon s’inclina sur ses pattes de devant et toucha la terre du front. Lorsque ce fut fait, la voix continua : « Bienheureux celui qui s’humilie devant les dieux sans les avoirs vus de ses yeux.
