2 Once upon a time there was a Seven-House-Village.
3 In Seven-House-Village there lived a poor man.
4 The other people were wealthy people, one man was a poor man.
5 In the evenings there was no food, in the mornings there was no food.
6 He has many children.
7 When he wanders around hunting and fishing, there is nothing.
8 In this one autumn the rich people went hunting.
9 They went together, the poor man went by himself.
10 He walked, he walked, at one place he spent the night, at two places he spent the night, he went hunting far away.
11 He walked, he walked, suddenly the sky darkened.
12 He goes on.
13 Suddenly it got very dark.
14 Eating snowflakes, he kept on walking.
15 He got very tired.
16 Evening fell, he was walking deep in the forest.
17 So he walked, so he walked.
18 At one place there is a house.
19 He came there, to that house.
20 He went in.
21 When he looked for firewood, he didn't find any, he rooted and rooted around in the oven pit, he found birchbark.
22 He lit a fire.
23 He looks.
24 Inside the house there lies a dead body.
25 He got scared.
26 He sits next to the fire, he sits there silently.
27 Suddenly the dead body sat up.
28 Poor man living in Seven-House-Village, what did you come looking for?
29 I came to hunt.
30 Did you kill [any] animals?
31 No, I didn't kill [any] animals.
32 Did you come here looking for anything else?
33 "It got dark.
34 I didn't see the house, I came here accidentally."
35 Where are you going tomorrow?
36 He sits silently.
37 "If you're hungry, go to that part of the house.
38 Maybe you'll find some food there."
39 Don't you have a pot?
40 "In my house I do have a pot.
41 If you're hungry, cook.
42 Whatever food is left in the cooking spot, when you leave tomorrow, take it with you!"
43 "Well, you have not killed anything?
44 You are a tired man.
45 Lie down!"
46 He lay down.
47 He lay, he lay.
48 Suddenly the sky brightened.
49 He got up.
50 He went outside.
51 He carried the food to his sleigh, he put it in his sleigh.
52 That dead body than lay down.
53 "Do you really see me or not?
54 I am the Daughter of the Prince of the Forest Spirits.
55 We'll see whether you'll kill some animal on your way home."
56 So he went home the next day.
57 He kills a lot of animals, one is a reindeer, one a fox, one a squirrel, one a bear, all animals, he killed so many.
58 He began to shoot with the shotgun.
59 He shot and he shot. In the course of the day his sleight gets full, he was shooting.
60 In his sleigh there was no more space to store food.
61 Other things he left behind.
62 He began to pull his sleigh home.
63 So he walked, he walked.
64 It seems those people went home, and didn't kill any animals.
65 He either spent the night in one place or he spent the night in two places.
66 All at once he arrived at home.
67 The woman came out of the house.
68 "It seems you have killed a lot of animals?
69 Did those people kill any animals?
70 Those people didn't kill any.
71 "Before, you didn't kill so many.
72 You have killed a lot of animals."
73 "I saw the Daughter of the Prince of the Forest Spirits.
74 She says: Are you hunting animals?
75 After I came from there I killed animals."
76 His people made a feast.
77 They came together.
78 "This man kills a lot of animals.
79 This man has got to be killed."
80 A child was sent to him by those people.
81 Those people have called you over.
82 Why?
83 "You have killed many animals.
84 People were pleased."
85 He went over.
86 He came to the first house, there is no Khanty, he came to the second house, there is no Khanty, he came to the third house, there is no Khanty, he came to the fourth house, there is no Khanty, he came to the fifth house, there is no Khanty inside, he came to the sixth house, the house is full, all the people are there.
87 Inside they are talking.
88 Among those people there is an old man.
89 The old man says:
90 How should he be killed?
91 They say:
92 "He must be put into the fire, the fire must be fed [with him].
93 Breaking his hands and feet, he must be put into the fire together with his children.
94 Tomorrow we will do it like that.
95 So the animals and fish he killed will come to us."
96 That man heard that talk.
97 He went home crying.
98 He got home.
99 The woman says: "Why are you crying?"
100 The people have sentenced us to death.
101 The woman started to cry, too.
102 The two of them cry and cry and cry.
103 They lay down.
104 That spot did not occur to God.
105 God thinks: "I gave him animals and fish.
106 He was sentenced to be killed by the people.
107 How can these people think differently than I?"
108 And here they lay down.
109 Those people say: "A sky-animal sacrifice needs to be made, an earth-animal sacrifice needs to be made."
110 The next day they called him there.
111 Together with his wife and his children they all went.
112 Whoever had a reindeer, he killed it, whoever had a horse, he killed it, whoever had a cow, he killed it, whoever had a sheep, he killed it, in order to hold a feast.
113 The meat pots are cooking on the fire.
114 An old man says: "Take those pots off the fire!"
115 That man is sitting there together with his wife and his children.
116 Those meat pots were given to them to eat.
117 They began to eat, they eat and sit.
118 When they had eaten their fill, the people were very drunk.
119 This man went home with his wife and his children.
120 They got home, they lay down.
121 Dawn came. The sky brightened.
122 At the other end of the village there was no sound [to be heard].
123 To one of his sons this man said: "Go to the people who stayed there!"
124 His son left.
125 He walked, he walked, he came back; his father asked him: "Did those people stay there?"
126 "All those people died.
127 A little girl from there survived."
128 That man says to his wife: "Go there, and bring that girl back home!"
129 The woman walked, she walked.
130 That girl was brought home by the woman.
131 Do these corpses need to be put somewhere else?
132 The woman says:
133 They need to be put into the fire.
134 That man went there.
135 He dragged  the corpses out.
136 They were brought outside, they were put on a pile.
137 They were put into the fire. They were consumed by the fire, all of them were consumed.
138 That man had gone there alone, he lived there alone.
139 They live a long time, they live a short time.
140 They lived on and on.
141 They raised that child.
142 One day it had grown into a woman.
143 He promised her to one of his sons.
144 They lived on and on.
145 One day his son and his wife had a child.
146 Like that they lived on and on.
147 From that people of Seven-House-Village the child grew up.
148 As many men had lived in the village before, that's how many men there became.
149 Like that they live in that village.
150 Suddenly they had become one hundred men.
151 At the time when they had become one hundred men, that man became the leader.
152 All at once they had become so many men, all at once they had become as many men as mosquitos.
153 The men suffering want go to the leader.
154 The people suffering want were given to him.
155 A man suffering from lack of bread comes to him, he gives him bread.
156 A man suffering from lack of tobacco comes to him.
157 A man suffering from lack of clothes comes to him.
158 So they live.
159 One day God looks down.
160 What kind [n.n.] the people.
161 God says: "I don't know how they became so many people."
162 He looked, he looked. Those people are sinful, all of them.
163 God thinks: "These people need to be led into sin.
164 What sin shall I create first."
165 They started hunting and fishing.
166 They killed all the animals and fish.
167 God looks down. The nieces live together with their older sisters.
168 God became angry.
169 It got rainy and windy.
170 There is nothing left to hunt or fish.
171 It rains every day.
172 So they live.
173 They go nowhere.
174 One day God thought to himself: I'll send cows down to these people.
175 They get trampled by the cows, they get trampled by the cows, they get trampled, they get trampled.
176 God looks down, people are still alive.
177 God thinks to himself: Well, I'll send horses down, they'll get trampled by the horses.
178 They get trampled, they get trampled.
179 God looks down: people are still alive.
180 One day God thinks: "How else can I do it?"
181 Suddenly, God sent fire from above.
182 He lit a fire.
183 It consumes wood and hay completely.
184 It eats the earth.
185 Those people were set on fire, all of them.
186 They were consumed, they were consumed.
187 From that place only one man survived.
188 That man thinks to himself: "How shall I live alone?
189 Where else do I need to go?
190 One has to go to God anyway.
191 I'll go to God as a sign."
192 He went to the moon.
