You, the pinading living near us, we are giving you tapuy and food to eat and drink with us; so do not permit what we feed to have a skin disease.

Lumawig and Kabigat, Pati, Soyaan, Amdoyan, Wigan, Bintauan, Bangan, Bogan, Obongan, Obung, Laongan, Singan, Maodi, Kolan, Moan, Angtan, Gatan, Angban, Mantalau, Balitok; we are giving this to you that we may live long. Work for us to become rich so that while we live there will be the giving of meat to us by our companions; so that you the gods will have things given to you; so that our children will have life; so that there will be gifts for you.

What we feed increase, so that there will be celebrations of ceremonies again. Cause our chickens also to live to be for keeping us alive. Make what we plant also to live; beans to live; camotes to live; to be for keeping us alive. Make what we plant, also, pineapples and coffee, to have much fruit, so that we may have it to sell, that we may have something with which to buy blankets.

Sika ay napolug ay bato nay ay okaamka, ut bomaknangak ut adakna bitbitbitug. Mataguak abu ta maobananak.

You, the falling stone, I am giving you this so that you will make me rich and will not make me poor. Cause me to live also until my hair is white.

Sia say gapona ay iwud diidawat si Iloko sin batbat, mo din Inibiloi ya anda si usaloi, mo di Kankanay pay yaanda si adadu.

Long ago Lumawig gave the people hogs so that they would give some of the increase. When he came down from the sky to the Ilocano country and asked for hogs, they did not comply. He asked the Nabaloi; they knew how to give him one and pretend that many were given. When he asked the Kankanay, they gave him many.

This is the reason the Ilocanos do not celebrate the batbat; why the Nabaloi give one (hog) only; why the Kankanay give many.

May the sick be cured.

Sika pay ay wikibuyak ta dakami di omanda ya bomaknang, nakasnatna, tan onmandakami, ta isakladmi di puogmi ya malipunan kami si anak, gamung, ya salon.

You, the stick, are swung so that we shall live long and become rich, so that we shall live long, so that our legs shall be as horn, so that we shall have many children, much money, and many cattle grazing.

Mo iitauum ay wadaka’s adaway sin buuina, ifugau, sia amona aydin ababiikna tinaymana.

If a person dreams that he is far away from his house, he knows that his soul has left him.

You, the soul of ——, come back if you have wandered away from our home, because it is dreadful to live in the home of the souls of the dead. If you stay there you will die, and you will not eat what you have earned.

Kabigat of the earth was constructing a sod fence. While he was bending over to pick up a large piece of sod, he heard the noise of loud thunder. He did not look around, but continued to work.

Soon his wife Bangan, who was working in a nearby camote field, called to him saying that it was time to go home. Kabigat did not answer, but continued to build fence. His wife became angry and began to scold, but when she turned around she saw the Thunder standing near. The Thunder said, “Do not become angry with your husband. He does not answer because he can not hear you. I made him deaf. If you want him to be cured get one chicken and one jar of tapuy and celebrate the buang.”

There is Bokosan, who lives in Odosan. There is Sigmayo, who lives in Tabayo. There is Gomi, who lives in Kasili. There is Palatang, who lives in Manalang.

There were Ginsingan and Suyan. A person celebrating a ceremony and his relatives far away invited Ginsingan and Suyan. When they went one basket of meat fell, and one basket of cooked rice fell. While they were on the way home, there was one tree blazing. Then they said, “Let us cook and eat here.”

They took the piece of meat and roasted it on the fire. They could not cook it on the blazing fire. They went below a little distance and roasted their food, the meat, and it cooked easily.

When they had eaten they went home. They were coughing and spitting blood. Then they discovered the bilong. Then they said, “We will hand it down to the people so that if they have sickness or spit blood, we shall be called and shall be the origin of the prayer of bilong.”

Bangan and Kabigat went to get dorian.3 Bangan carried on the head in the carrying basket, and Kabigat carried on the back in the carrying frame. They found the dorian and then dug it up, and Bangan filled the carrying basket and Kabigat filled the carrying frame with the root of the dorian.

Then Bangan sent Kabigat to get wood. Kabigat then went and picked up a large piece of wood dripping with blood. Then at once Kabigat put his hand on his chest and sat down.

Then he went home immediately and said, “Pity us because there has been death here, since the wood was bleeding.” Then Bangan said, “Oh! This is the origin of the remedy for maydosadan.” So it was handed down to the people.

There were two brothers, the Timungau. They went to get camotes. They found one camote the root of which went far into the ground, and they dug after it and found a wide stone. They turned it over.

They looked into the opened place, and their eyes saw to the underworld. They saw there a house, and there was being celebrated a ceremony in the underworld. Then they got their rope and fastened and tied it, and it was this way they went to the underworld.

Then they arrived at the ceremony. They went to eat. They were eating when they heard the inhabitants of the underworld say, “We will catch you so that we may eat you.” Then they became afraid, and took off their breech-clouts and tied them on the door so that it would be thought they were there. This they did.

Then they caught them, and one of the brothers said, “Do not kill us because I will marry your daughter.” Then they did not kill them, and he married one of the daughters of Maseken. Then Maseken said, “Let us go to hunt.”

They went below, but the son-in-law stayed in the trail. Maseken and his companions went, and ran after an old carabao. They arrived at the place of the son-in-law, and he saw that an old woman was running at the place they were hunting.

Then he did not lasso her, but let her go; then he went away. Maseken arrived and scolded his son-in-law, and then ran after the old woman, their mother, and caught her and wounded her. Then the son-in-law said, “We do not like to eat people.” Then Maseken said, “Return, if you do not like to eat people.”

Then they returned to the top of the ground and said, “We will get the rope so that there is something for making a net so that we can catch our food with the net.” Then they made a net so that there was something to net people with. Then the two brothers said, “Take this in order that you may eat.” But Maseken said, “They will give us rope and chickens, because if they do not give them to us we will catch the people with the net.”

There were a brother and sister, Bogan and Singan. Bogan was a woman and Singan was a man. They had children, two boys. The larger was Pintun, the smaller was Liblibian.

When they became older they did not eat. Their father gave the cooked rice from the center (of the pot) and the center of the liver, but they did not like it.

One day when their father and mother had gone to cultivate the land and had returned, they had already eaten one-half of their pot. They said, “How is this? you like to eat iron pots.” “Yes, iron is what we like to eat.”

Then Liblibian and Pintun left together and went to the land of the Ilocano. When they arrived they made one child of an Ilocano sick so that there would be a reason for giving them bolos to eat. The Ilocano did not know enough to give them bolos to eat, but knew of medicine only. They said, “Oh! The Ilocano do not know the prayer, so let us go to Igorot land.”

They went to Igorot land and made sick one child of an Igorot. He took at once one chicken and fifteen bolos and held the ceremony liblibian. As soon as this was done, the sickness of the child was cured at once.

Ta makabangon sin sakit, si ama’n Ampasit nangamag si kaÑau, ut say inamwan ifugau di yatna ay maamay.

Long ago there were a man and his wife who had a daughter named Ampasit. One day Ampasit went to get camotes. While she was on the way, a son of Timungau hid the girl Ampasit. For a long time the father of Ampasit could not find her. He thought that Ampasit was dead.

One day when the parents of Ampasit had gone to bathe, they saw Ampasit standing on a large rock. Her father said to her, “Where have you been?” She said, “I married the son of Timungau, and he hid me here.” Her father called her to the house and gave a ceremony, and invited Timungau and his family.

After Timungau and his family had finished eating, they went home. Timungau was ashamed, and celebrated a ceremony also. He invited Ampasit and her father and her mother.

When Ampasit and her father and her mother went to the ceremony of Timungau, they wondered how the pigs in the yard were tied, because they did not see, although they were looking.

The father of Ampasit urinated. He urinated on the face of the husband of Ampasit, because he did not see him. Timungau said, “We do not wish to have Ampasit married to our son, because even at our own house they urinate on our faces. We will make them sick so that they can not urinate.”

So that they might get cured of the sickness, the father of Ampasit had a ceremony, and taught the people what to say in order to celebrate it.

I am bathing for dayau. May my sores be cured. May I be like you, Water, free of sores.

There were Bintauan and Apinan. They were brothers. They did not have children, and when their wives had their menses, they were sick in the abdomen.

They went then to get some one to make the divination ceremony. They found a stone house; a large tall man with green eyebrows came out of it. Then Bintauan and Apinan asked him to make the divination ceremony so that they could learn what troubled their wives. Then he said, “Go to the Sun and Moon because they know the divination ceremony.”

Then Bintauan and Apinan went away. They arrived then at the meeting place of the earth and the sky. There was a large house. A red-eyed man with green eyebrows came out of it. “For what reason did you come?” “We came to cause the divination ceremony to be made, because when our wives have their menses they get sick and do not have children.” “I do not know the divination ceremony; go to the Sun and the Moon, because they know the divination ceremony.”

They went on and saw two stones as large as a house striking each other, where the water empties. They were afraid to go farther, but sent their dog ahead. They saw he was on the other side. Then they followed their dog. They arrived on the other side, where there were many houses joined together.

They arrived then, and the wife of the Sun came out and said, “Who are you?” “We came to have the divination ceremony made, because our wives do not have children and when they have their menses they are sick.” “Come under the house because when the Sun arrives he will wilt you.” Then they went under the house of the Sun.

When the Sun arrived, he asked, “Did men come at noon?” “Yes, they are waiting under the house. They came to have the divination ceremony held, because their wives do not have children and they get sick when they have their menses.” Then the Sun asked Apinan and Bintauan, “Why did you come?” “We came to have the divination ceremony celebrated.” Then the Sun said, “Go home and celebrate the pasang, and you will have children.”

They went home and did so and had children, and their wives were not sick when they had their menses.

Boliwan had two sons, Lumawig and Kabigat.

One day they went hunting, and caught a deer. They started home, but became tired on the way. They cut the meat into pieces and dried it.

While they were sitting down, their dogs ran after another deer. The two brothers followed their dogs. They told their father to guard the meat.

One of the brothers hit the deer with his spear, but did not kill it. The deer ran away with the spear in his body. They returned to the place where their father was staying. They saw that the meat was gone.

They said to their father, “You surely ate the meat.” Their father said, “I did not eat it, it was taken away while I was sleeping.” The sons said, “You do not speak well; you certainly ate it.”

Boliwan cut open his (own) abdomen with a bolo, and died. Then the two brothers saw that there was no meat in his stomach. Then they said, “Although we said that you ate the meat, you should not have cut open your abdomen and then you would not have died.”

Then they lay down and watched to see who had eaten the meat. They saw a snake above where they were standing, and said to it, “Probably you ate the meat.” The Snake answered, “Yes, I ate it.” The two brothers said, “We shall certainly kill you.” The Snake answered, “Do not kill me; I will teach you how to cure wounds, and you can make your father alive again.” The Snake said, “Give me your spears, bolos, sticks, and sharp stones.” They gave them. The Snake put the spears, bolos, sticks, and rocks near the wound and prayed. Boliwan became alive again.

The brothers said to the snake, “We think you are a god (anito).” The Snake answered, “Yes, I am a god.” The brothers said, “We will tell the children of the people, so that if there is something like this they may cure it, and may call our names when celebrating the sibisib.”

There were two brothers. They were Balitok and Obog. They had children, and the mountains fell. Then their neighbors died. When they died they buried them. Then the people gathered together, and took one plate and five leaves of cogon grass and made a ceremony. They made the ceremony then so that none of them would die. Then they handed it down to the people so that when there were deaths, the people would gather together and perform the ceremony.

Amud, omalika ta yaanaka si noang, gale; ya maninommi tapuy.

Soul of dead relative, come because you are given a carabao, a blanket; and we will drink tapuy.

Ud niman nay yaanakka si noang, ut masaoan di sakitna.

Now I am giving you a carabao, and may the sickness be cured.

Amud, omalika ta mangangtaka.

Soul of the dead relative, come and eat with us.

Bomaknangkami, onmandokami, ta waday kadayyawanmo.

May we be rich, may we live long, so that there is your remembrance.

You, the fire which did the cooking, shall be the first to eat, in order that the rice shall not cause us to become sick.

One day, long ago, the Wind and the Lightning met on the top of a mountain. Said the Wind, “I am greater than you.” Then the Lightning answered, “I am greater than you because when I destroy a tree, I make it live again. But when you have it for food, it dies.” Then said the Wind again, “When I eat it, it lives again.”

Then said the Lightning, “Then we will go to a large rock, so that you can break the rock to pieces. Because if you do not break the rock to pieces and then return the broken pieces, I win against you.”

Then the Wind blew hard, but the rock was not broken. Immediately then the Lightning broke the rock, and then put it back together. The Lightning said, “I win against you, because you did not break the rock.”

Then they took their nets and went to fish. The Wind fished, and he caught one lobster and one small eel. The Lightning said, “I will fish.” He caught many large fish. He said to the Wind, “You cook.”

The Wind took one chupa (of rice) to cook. The Lightning said, “Not that much. The pot will not contain it. I shall cook so that you will see.”

The Lightning went immediately and cooked. He immediately got one grain of rice, and put it into the pot. The grain of rice filled the pot.

The Lightning said, “You cook the fish.” The Wind put one large fish into the pot. When the Lightning saw it he said, “Not that much; the pot will not hold it. Watch me cook.” The Lightning cut the fish into pieces and put one piece into the pot. The piece filled the pot.

The Lightning said, “Put into a pile the bones of the fish; then we will cause them to become alive again.” They finished eating, and then threw into the water the bones of what they had eaten. They threw into the water first the bones of what had been eaten by the Wind. They did not return to life. Then they threw into the water the bones of what had been eaten by the Lightning; they swam, and went away.

The Lightning said, “I won against you.” The Wind said, “Yes, truly, I lost this.” Then they became friends.

There were two brothers. They went out of the house when there was a ceremony. The people rubbed their greasy hands on them. They were sad because they were not given food by the people. They said, “Let us go and make our house out of sight.” When they had left, they took their dogs and went to hunt.

While they were hunting, their dogs barked in the midst of the forest. They went there, and they were barking at a branchless tree, a branchless bamboo, and a branchless vine. They said, “Let us take them and use (them) for making our house.”

They took them and used (them) for making their house. Then they were always sick, but they took one chicken and gave it to the dagas. Then they handed this down to the people, and it is being done again by the people.

Sika Laklakiwin, ay poon di ababiik, omalika tan magay ya ak sika si manok makon sikay mamaspasaki, un ya adodi ya adi un pansakitun sakun.

You, Laglagiwin, the origin of the ababiik, come, because I will give you a chicken if you are the one that has caused the sickness, and you will not again make me sick.

Yan nay ay din nouangko, ta mayilotonan din anguk, mokon dakayo paksau sinan angut ay mansakit. Yamo si bigat ya mataguak ya way nouangak ya andaka loman.

Here I am giving for tanong my carabao so that my body will be cured if you made my body sick. If tomorrow I am alive and have a carabao, I will give it again.

Dakayo ay kakading isan nanaraban di nouang, ya andakayo sinan ginotmo alti to pakamonyo ay inpangantka din noung aynay.

You, the souls of the dead in the pasture lands of the carabao, you are given these pieces of liver that you may know that the carabao has been sacrificed.

Sika agou ya boan, nay ay manaugasauak; sina yamo amoya sin amoyak, ya yaanda sakun si galiko ya takoanda sakun ni nalaka.

You, Sun and Moon, I am now celebrating the sagausau; and if I go, wherever I go, make them give me blankets and sell to me cheap.

You, Sun and Moon, come; witness the sagausau. —— is about to start on a journey to trade. May he be successful in trading. May he be able to collect all that is due him and evade payment of what he owes. Cause the people to give him food and blankets.
