Molly Whuppie

Once upon a time there was a man and a wife had too many children, and they could not get meat for them, so they took the three youngest and left them in a wood. They travelled and travelled and could see never a house. It began to be dark, and they were hungry. At last they saw a light and made for it; it turned out to be a house.

Dahulu kala ada seorang suami istri yang mempunyai terlalu banyak anak, dan mereka tak sanggup mencari makan untuk semuanya, maka mereka membawa tiga anak yang paling kecil dan meninggalkan mereka di dalam hutan. Mereka berjalan dan berjalan dan tak pernah bisa melihat sebuah rumah pun. Hari mulai gelap, dan mereka lapar. Akhirnya mereka melihat sebuah cahaya dan menuju ke sana; ternyata itu adalah sebuah rumah.

They knocked at the door, and a woman came to it, who said: “What do you want?” They said: “Please let us in and give us something to eat.” The woman said: “I can't do that, as my man is a giant, and he would kill you if he comes home.” They begged hard. “Let us stop for a little while,” said they, “and we will go away before he comes.”

Mereka mengetuk pintu, dan seorang wanita datang membukanya, yang berkata: "Apa yang kalian mau?" Mereka berkata: "Tolong izinkan kami masuk dan berilah kami sesuatu untuk dimakan." Wanita itu berkata: "Aku tak bisa melakukan itu, sebab suamiku seorang raksasa, dan ia akan membunuh kalian kalau ia pulang." Mereka memohon dengan sungguh-sungguh. "Izinkan kami berhenti sebentar saja," kata mereka, "dan kami akan pergi sebelum ia pulang."

So she took them in, and set them down before the fire, and gave them milk and bread; but just as they had begun to eat a great knock came to the door, and a dreadful voice said:

Maka wanita itu membawa mereka masuk, dan mendudukkan mereka di depan perapian, dan memberi mereka susu dan roti; tetapi tepat ketika mereka baru mulai makan, terdengar ketukan keras di pintu, dan sebuah suara mengerikan berkata:

“Fee, fie, fo, fum, I smell the blood of some earthly one.

"Fee, fie, fo, fum, Aku mencium bau darah manusia.

Who have you there wife?” “Eh,” said the wife, “it's three poor lassies cold and hungry, and they will go away. Ye won't touch 'em, man.” He said nothing, but ate up a big supper, and ordered them to stay all night. Now he had three lassies of his own, and they were to sleep in the same bed with the three strangers.

Siapa yang kau punya di sana, istriku?" "Eh," kata sang istri, "hanya tiga gadis miskin yang kedinginan dan kelaparan, dan mereka akan segera pergi. Jangan kau sentuh mereka, Suamiku." Raksasa itu tak berkata apa-apa, tetapi menghabiskan makan malam besar, dan memerintahkan mereka untuk tinggal semalam. Nah, raksasa itu punya tiga anak gadisnya sendiri, dan mereka akan tidur di ranjang yang sama dengan ketiga anak asing itu.

The youngest of the three strange lassies was called Molly Whuppie, and she was very clever. She noticed that before they went to bed the giant put straw ropes round her neck and her sisters', and round his own lassies' necks he put gold chains. So Molly took care and did not fall asleep, but waited till she was sure every one was sleeping sound. Then she slipped out of the bed, and took the straw ropes off her own and her sisters' necks, and took the gold chains off the giant's lassies. She then put the straw ropes on the giant's lassies and the gold on herself and her sisters, and lay down.

Yang termuda dari ketiga anak asing itu bernama Molly Whuppie, dan ia sangat cerdik. Ia memperhatikan bahwa sebelum mereka tidur, sang raksasa memasang tali jerami di leher gadis itu dan saudara-saudarinya, dan di leher anak-anak gadisnya sendiri ia memasang rantai emas. Maka Molly berhati-hati dan tidak tertidur, tetapi menunggu hingga ia yakin semua orang telah tertidur lelap. Kemudian ia menyelinap keluar dari ranjang, dan melepas tali jerami dari leher dirinya dan saudara-saudarinya, dan melepas rantai emas dari anak-anak gadis raksasa itu. Lalu ia memasang tali jerami pada anak-anak gadis raksasa itu dan rantai emas pada dirinya dan saudara-saudarinya, dan berbaring kembali.

And in the middle of the night up rose the giant, armed with a great club, and felt for the necks with the straw. It was dark. He took his own lassies out of bed on to the floor, and battered them until they were dead, and then lay down again, thinking he had managed fine.

Dan di tengah malam bangunlah sang raksasa, dengan sebatang gada besar di tangannya, dan meraba-raba leher yang berbalut jerami. Hari gelap gulita. Ia menyeret anak-anak gadisnya sendiri keluar dari ranjang ke lantai, dan memukuli mereka hingga tewas, lalu berbaring kembali, mengira ia telah berhasil dengan baik.

Molly thought it time she and her sisters were out of that, so she wakened them and told them to be quiet, and they slipped out of the house. They all got out safe, and they ran and ran, and never stopped until morning, when they saw a grand house before them. It turned out to be a king's house: so Molly went in, and told her story to the king.

Molly berpikir sudah waktunya ia dan saudara-saudarinya keluar dari sana, maka ia membangunkan mereka dan menyuruh mereka diam, dan mereka pun menyelinap keluar dari rumah itu. Mereka semua berhasil keluar dengan selamat, dan mereka berlari dan berlari, dan tak pernah berhenti hingga pagi, ketika mereka melihat sebuah rumah megah di hadapan mereka. Ternyata itu adalah rumah seorang raja: maka Molly masuk, dan menceritakan kisahnya kepada raja.

He said: “Well, Molly, you are a clever girl, and you have managed well; but, if you would manage better, and go back, and steal the giant's sword that hangs on the back of his bed, I would give your eldest sister my eldest son to marry.” Molly said she would try.

Raja berkata: "Nah, Molly, kau gadis yang cerdik, dan kau telah berhasil dengan baik; tetapi, jika kau bisa berbuat lebih baik lagi, dan kembali, dan mencuri pedang raksasa yang tergantung di belakang ranjangnya, aku akan memberikan putra sulungku untuk menikahi kakak sulungmu." Molly berkata ia akan mencoba.

So she went back, and managed to slip into the giant's house, and crept in below the bed. The giant came home, and ate up a great supper, and went to bed.

Maka ia kembali, dan berhasil menyelinap masuk ke rumah raksasa itu, dan merangkak masuk ke bawah ranjang. Raksasa itu pulang, dan menghabiskan makan malam besar, dan pergi tidur.

Molly waited until he was snoring, and she crept out, and reached over the giant and got down the sword; but just as she got it out over the bed it gave a rattle, and up jumped the giant, and Molly ran out at the door and the sword with her; and she ran, and he ran, till they came to the “Bridge of one hair”; and she got over, but he couldn't, and he says, “Woe worth ye, Molly Whuppie! never ye come again.” And she says “Twice yet, carle,” quoth she, “I'll come to Spain.”

Molly menunggu hingga ia mendengkur, dan ia merangkak keluar, dan menjangkau melewati raksasa itu dan mengambil pedangnya; tetapi tepat ketika ia menariknya keluar dari ranjang, pedang itu berbunyi berdenting, dan bangunlah sang raksasa, dan Molly berlari keluar pintu bersama pedang itu; dan ia berlari, dan raksasa itu berlari, hingga mereka sampai ke "Jembatan Sehelai Rambut"; dan ia berhasil menyeberang, tetapi raksasa itu tidak bisa, dan ia berkata, "Celaka kau, Molly Whuppie! Jangan pernah kau datang lagi." Dan ia berkata, "Dua kali lagi, Tuan Tua," katanya, "aku akan datang ke Spanyol."

So Molly took the sword to the king, and her sister was married to his son.

Maka Molly membawa pedang itu kepada raja, dan kakaknya pun menikah dengan putra raja itu.

Well, the king he says: “Ye've managed well, Molly; but if ye would manage better, and steal the purse that lies below the giant's pillow, I would marry your second sister to my second son.” And Molly said she would try.

Nah, raja berkata: "Kau telah berhasil dengan baik, Molly; tetapi jika kau bisa berbuat lebih baik lagi, dan mencuri dompet yang ada di bawah bantal raksasa itu, aku akan menikahkan kakak keduamu dengan putra keduaku." Dan Molly berkata ia akan mencoba.

So she set out for the giant's house, and slipped in, and hid again below the bed, and waited till the giant had eaten his supper, and was snoring sound asleep. She slipped out, and slipped her hand below the pillow, and got out the purse; but just as she was going out the giant wakened, and ran after her; and she ran, and he ran, till they came to the “Bridge of one hair,” and she got over, but he couldn't, and he said, “Woe worth ye, Molly Whuppie! never you come again.” “Once yet, carle,” quoth she, “I'll come to Spain.”

Maka ia berangkat ke rumah raksasa itu, dan menyelinap masuk, dan bersembunyi lagi di bawah ranjang, dan menunggu hingga raksasa itu selesai makan malam, dan tertidur mendengkur nyenyak. Ia menyelinap keluar, dan menyelipkan tangannya di bawah bantal, dan mengambil dompet itu; tetapi tepat ketika ia hendak keluar, raksasa itu terbangun, dan mengejarnya; dan ia berlari, dan raksasa itu berlari, hingga mereka sampai ke "Jembatan Sehelai Rambut," dan ia berhasil menyeberang, tetapi raksasa itu tidak bisa, dan ia berkata, "Celaka kau, Molly Whuppie! Jangan pernah kau datang lagi." "Sekali lagi, Tuan Tua," katanya, "aku akan datang ke Spanyol."

So Molly took the purse to the king, and her second sister was married to the king's second son.

Maka Molly membawa dompet itu kepada raja, dan kakak keduanya pun menikah dengan putra kedua raja itu.

After that the king says to Molly: “Molly, you are a clever girl, but if you would do better yet, and steal the giant's ring that he wears on his finger, I will give you my youngest son for yourself.” Molly said she would try. So back she goes to the giant's house, and hides herself below the bed. The giant wasn't long ere he came home, and, after he had eaten a great big supper, he went to his bed, and shortly was snoring loud.

Setelah itu raja berkata kepada Molly: "Molly, kau gadis yang cerdik, tetapi jika kau bisa berbuat lebih baik lagi, dan mencuri cincin raksasa yang dipakainya di jarinya, aku akan memberikan putra bungsuku untukmu sendiri." Molly berkata ia akan mencoba. Maka ia kembali ke rumah raksasa itu, dan bersembunyi di bawah ranjang. Tak lama kemudian raksasa itu pun pulang, dan, setelah ia menghabiskan makan malam besar, ia pergi ke ranjangnya, dan tak lama kemudian mendengkur keras.

Molly crept out and reached over the bed, and got hold of the giant's hand, and she pulled and she pulled until she got off the ring; but just as she got it off the giant got up, and gripped her by the hand, and he says: “Now I have catcht you, Molly Whuppie, and, if I had done as much ill to you as ye have done to me, what would ye do to me?”

Molly merangkak keluar dan menjangkau ke atas ranjang, dan menggenggam tangan raksasa itu, dan ia menarik dan menarik hingga cincin itu terlepas; tetapi tepat ketika cincin itu terlepas, raksasa itu bangun, dan mencengkeram tangannya, dan ia berkata: "Sekarang aku telah menangkapmu, Molly Whuppie, dan, jika aku telah berbuat sejahat itu kepadamu seperti yang telah kau perbuat kepadaku, apa yang akan kau lakukan kepadaku?"

Molly says: “I would put you into a sack, and I'd put the cat inside with you, and the dog aside you, and a needle and thread and a shears, and I'd hang you up upon the wall, and I'd go to the wood, and choose the thickest stick I could get, and I would come home, and take you down, and bang you till you were dead.”

Molly berkata: "Aku akan memasukkanmu ke dalam karung, dan aku akan memasukkan kucing di dalamnya bersamamu, dan anjing di sisimu, dan sebuah jarum serta benang dan sebuah gunting, dan aku akan menggantungmu di dinding, dan aku akan pergi ke hutan, dan memilih tongkat paling tebal yang bisa kudapatkan, dan aku akan pulang, dan menurunkanmu, dan memukulimu hingga kau mati."

“Well, Molly,” says the giant, “I'll just do that to you.”

"Baiklah, Molly," kata raksasa itu, "aku akan melakukan itu tepat kepadamu."

So he gets a sack, and puts Molly into it, and the cat and the dog beside her, and a needle and thread and shears, and hangs her up upon the wall, and goes to the wood to choose a stick.

Maka ia mengambil sebuah karung, dan memasukkan Molly ke dalamnya, dan kucing serta anjing di sisinya, dan sebuah jarum serta benang dan gunting, dan menggantungnya di dinding, lalu pergi ke hutan untuk memilih sebatang tongkat.

Molly she sings out: “Oh, if ye saw what I see.”

Molly bernyanyi keras: "Oh, andai kau lihat apa yang kulihat."

“Oh,” says the giant's wife, “what do ye see, Molly?”

"Oh," kata istri raksasa itu, "apa yang kau lihat, Molly?"

But Molly never said a word but, “Oh, if ye saw what I see!”

Tetapi Molly tak pernah berkata apa-apa selain, "Oh, andai kau lihat apa yang kulihat!"

The giant's wife begged that Molly would take her up into the sack till she would see what Molly saw. So Molly took the shears and cut a hole in the sack, and took out the needle and thread with her, and jumped down and helped, the giant's wife up into the sack, and sewed up the hole.

Istri raksasa itu memohon agar Molly membawanya naik ke dalam karung agar ia bisa melihat apa yang dilihat Molly. Maka Molly mengambil gunting dan memotong sebuah lubang di karung itu, dan mengeluarkan jarum dan benangnya, dan melompat turun dan membantu istri raksasa itu naik ke dalam karung, lalu menjahit lubang itu kembali.

The giant's wife saw nothing, and began to ask to get down again; but Molly never minded, but hid herself at the back of the door. Home came the giant, and a great big tree in his hand, and he took down the sack, and began to batter it. His wife cried, “It's me, man;” but the dog barked and the cat mewed, and he did not know his wife's voice.

Istri raksasa itu tak melihat apa-apa, dan mulai meminta untuk turun lagi; tetapi Molly tak peduli, melainkan bersembunyi di balik pintu. Pulanglah sang raksasa, dengan sebatang pohon besar di tangannya, dan ia menurunkan karung itu, dan mulai memukulinya. Istrinya menjerit, "Ini aku, Suamiku;" tetapi anjing menggonggong dan kucing mengeong, dan ia tak mengenali suara istrinya.

But Molly came out from the back of the door, and the giant saw her, and he after her; and he ran and she ran, till they came to the “Bridge of one hair,” and she got over but he couldn't; and he said, “Woe worth you, Molly Whuppie! never you come again.” “Never more, carle,” quoth she, “will I come again to Spain.”

Namun Molly keluar dari balik pintu, dan raksasa itu melihatnya, dan ia mengejarnya; dan ia berlari dan gadis itu berlari, hingga mereka sampai ke "Jembatan Sehelai Rambut," dan ia berhasil menyeberang tetapi raksasa itu tidak bisa; dan ia berkata, "Celaka kau, Molly Whuppie! Jangan pernah kau datang lagi." "Tak akan pernah lagi, Tuan Tua," katanya, "aku akan datang ke Spanyol."

So Molly took the ring to the king, and she was married to his youngest son, and she never saw the giant again.

Maka Molly membawa cincin itu kepada raja, dan ia pun menikah dengan putra bungsunya, dan ia tak pernah melihat raksasa itu lagi.
