CERITA Issumboshi DALAM BAHASA INDONESIA DAN TERJEMAHAN NYA

            Suatu ketika ada pasangan tua yang tidak memiliki anak. Mereka tinggal di sebuah rumah kecil di dekat hutan desa. “Tolong beri kami seorang anak,” mereka bertanya kepada Tuhan setiap hari.

Suatu hari, dari rumah tangga Shinto altar, mereka mendengar seruan lucu, “Waa! Waa! "

Mereka melihat dan melihat bayi yang menangis yang tampak seperti jari kelingking. "Anak ini harus menjadi hadiah dari Tuhan!"

Kami akan memanggil anak ini 'Issumboshi', ”kata mereka.

Mereka mengangkat Issumboshi dengan sangat hati-hati, tetapi Issumboshi tidak pernah tumbuh lebih besar.

“Hei, Issumboshi kamu ingin dimakan oleh katak?”. Issumboshi selalu diganggu oleh anak-anak desa dan sering pulang ke rumah dengan perasaan tidak senang.

Nenek akan membuat beberapa bola nasi besar dan mendorongnya. "Makan yang banyak, dan tumbuh dengan cepat," kata Nenek.

Suatu hari, Issumboshi berkata, “Saya akan pergi ke ibu kota untuk belajar dan menjadi orang yang terhormat. Kemudian saya akan kembali. ”Kakek dan Nenek mengkhawatirkannya, tetapi pikiran Issumboshi tidak akan berubah. Seketika mereka mulai mempersiapkan perjalanannya.

Issumboshi menyarungkan pedang jarum ke dalam kotak jerami, memakai cangkir untuk topi, dan mulai dengan tongkat sumpit, dengan semangat tinggi.

"Saya pergi sekarang," kata Issumboshi.

“Apakah dia aman? Dengan ukuran kecil seperti itu? ”Kakek dan Nenek bertanya ketika mereka melihat dia pergi.

Issumboshi melanjutkan perjalanan dengan keinginan besar dalam tubuh kecil.

... ... ...

Akhirnya Issumboshi sampai di ibu kota dan berlabuh di bawah jembatan. Lalu dia naik ke pagar dan memandang kota.

“Ada istana yang bagus di sana. Saya akan menanyakannya sekaligus. ”

Akhirnya Issumboshi sampai di istana.

"Permisi, tapi aku ingin bertemu dengan tuan tanah feodal."

Tuan datang ke pintu, “Apa? Siapa disana?"

"Ini aku, di kakimu."

“Oh. Seberapa kecil! Mengapa kamu ingin bertemu denganku? ”

"Tolong biarkan aku menjadi pengikutmu."

"Aku ingin tahu apakah tubuhmu yang sangat kecil bisa melakukan apa saja."

“Aku akan tetap di saku Anda dan menjaga Anda dari semua bahaya.” Ketika Issumboshi mengatakan demikian, seekor lebah datang berdengung. "Yaaa!" Issumboshi berteriak, menusuk lebah itu.

"Bravo! Saya mempekerjakan Anda. Akan bagus jika kamu menjadi pria Putri. ”

“Oh! Betapa lucunya dia! ”Kata Putri, meletakkan Issumboshi di telapak tangannya.

"Aku akan membelamu selama hidupku," kata Issumboshi.

Sang Putri menyukai Issumboshi, dan dia mengajarinya membaca, menulis, dan berbagai penelitian. Selanjutnya, Issumboshi berlatih berpagar sangat kuat agar kuat.

Suatu hari Putri pergi keluar untuk beribadah di Kuil Kiyomizu. Tiba-tiba ada angin kencang, dan beberapa iblis muncul. Pemimpin iblis mencoba merebut Putri. "Tolong aku!" Teriaknya. Issumboshi mencoba untuk membantunya, tetapi iblis menangkapnya dan melemparkannya ke tunggangannya. Issumboshi, yang tertelan, menusuk dan menusukkan perut iblis. Setan itu berguling dan meludahkan Issumboshi.

Issumboshi melompat ke arah iblis dan menusuk matanya. Setan yang tersisa ketakutan. Mereka lari dengan tergesa-gesa, tetapi satu setan, yang tertinggal, gemetar sambil memegang palu sihir.

“Apakah kamu ingin aku menusuk matamu juga?” Issumboshi bertanya.

“Tolong, jangan. Ini adalah palu ajaib yang akan memberi Anda harapan. Saya memberikannya kepada Anda, jadi tolong selamatkan saya. ”Dan mengatakan ini, dia berlari terburu-buru.

“Terima kasih, Issumboshi. Anda telah menyelamatkan hidup saya, ”kata Putri.

"Putri, tolong lambaikan palu sihir ini dan buat harapan agar aku menjadi besar," kata Issumboshi. Sang Putri melambai dan bertanya, "Semoga Issumboshi menjadi besar!"

... ... ...

Dan kemudian, anehnya, di depan matanya, Issumboshi mulai tumbuh. Dia tumbuh menjadi pria muda yang baik. Mereka kembali ke istana, dan Putri meminta Raja untuk membiarkannya menikahi Issumboshi.

Sang Putri dan Issumboshi kemudian menikah, dan mereka mengundang Kakek dan Nenek untuk tinggal bersama mereka di istana. Mereka hidup bahagia selamanya.

            One upon a time there was an old couple who didn’t have a child. They lived in a small house near the village forest. “Please give us a child,” they asked God every day.

One day, from the household Shinto altar, they heard a cute cry, “Waa! Waa!”

They looked and saw a crying baby who looked just like a little finger. “This child must be a gift from God!”

We will call this child ‘Issumboshi’,” they said .

They raised Issumboshi with much care, but Issumboshi never grew bigger.

“Hey, Issumboshi  do you want to be eaten by a frog?”. Issumboshi was always being bullied by the children of the village and often went home feeling unhappy.

Grandmother would make some big rice balls and encourage him. “Eat a lot, and grow up quickly,” Grandmother said.

One day, Issumboshi said, “I will go to the capital to study and become a respectable person. Then I will come back.” Grandfather and Grandmother were worried about him, but Issumboshi’s mind would not be changed. At once they began to prepare for his trip.

Issumboshi sheathed a needle sword in a straw case, put on a cup for a sedge hat, and started out with a chopstick staff, in high spirits.

“I’m going now,” Issumboshi said.

“Is he safe? With such a small b ody?” Grandfather and Grandmother asked as they saw him off.

Issumboshi went on the trip with a big wish in a small body.

… … …

At last Issumboshi reached the capital city and anchored under the bridge. Then he climbed up to the railing and viewed the town.

“There is a fine palace over there. I shall ask them at once.”

At long last Issumboshi arrived at the palace.

“Excuse me, but I want to meet the feudal lord.”

The lord came to the door, “What? Who’s there?”

“Here I am, at your feet.”

“Oh. How small! Why do you want to meet me?”

“Please let me be your retainer.”

“I wonder if your very small body can do anything.”

“I’ll stay in your pocket and guard you from all harm.” When Issumboshi said so, a bee came buzzing by. “Yaaa!” Issumboshi yelled, stabbing the bee.

“Bravo! I employ you. It would be good if you became the Princess’s man.”

“Oh! What a cute fellow he is!” said the Princess, putting Issumboshi on her palm.

“I will defend you upon my life,” said Issumboshi.

The Princess liked Issumboshi, and she taught him reading, writing, and various studies. Further, Issumboshi practiced fencing very hard in order to be strong.

One day the Princess went out to worship at the Kiyomizu Temple. Suddenly there was a strong wind, and some demons appeared. The leader of the demons tried to grab the Princess. “Help me!” she screamed. Issumboshi tried to help her, but the demon caught him and threw him into his mount. Issumboshi, who was swallowed, jabbed and jabbed the demon’s stomach. The demon rolled over and spat out Issumboshi.

Issumboshi jumped at the demon and stabbed his eyes. The remaining demon were frightened. They ran away in great haste, but one demon, who was left behind, trembled while holding the magic hammer.

“Do you want me to stab your eyes, too?” Issumboshi  asked.

“Please, don’t. This is the magic hammer that will grant you a wish. I give it to you, so please spare me.” And  saying this, he ran off in a hurry.

“Thank you, Issumboshi. You have saved my life,” the Princess said.

“Princess, please wave this magic hammer and make a wish that I may become big,” said Issumboshi. The Princess waved it and asked, “May Issumboshi become big!”

… … …

And then, strangely, before her eyes, Issumboshi began to grow. He grew into a nice young man. They went back to the palace, and the Princess asked the King to let her marry Issumboshi.

The Princess and Issumboshi then got married, and they invited Grandfather and Grandmother to live with them in the palace. They lived happily ever after.
