(Luk. 1:32)

Ho lo Uisneno ma Mansian kum,

sekau nfua neu Ko, npal monit abalbalat.

Ho mnemat matekâ nâko batan neu batan,

You came down from your throne and stood at my cottage door.

I was singing all alone in a corner, and the melody caught your ear.
You came down and stood at my cottage door.

Masters are many in your hall, and songs are sung there at all hours.
But the simple carol of this novice struck at your love.
One plaintive little strain mingled with the great music of the world,
and with a flower for a prize you came down and stopped at my cottage door.

Light, oh where is the light?

Kindle it with the burning fire of desire!

There is the lamp but never a flicker of a flame---is such thy fate, my heart?

Ah, death were better by far for thee!

Misery knocks at thy door,

and her message is that thy lord is wakeful,

and he calls thee to the love-tryst through the darkness of night.

The sky is overcast with clouds and the rain is ceaseless.

I know not what this is that stirs in me---I know not its meaning.

A moment's flash of lightning drags down a deeper gloom on my sight,

and my heart gropes for the path to where the music of the night calls me.

Light, oh where is the light!

Kindle it with the burning fire of desire!

It thunders and the wind rushes screaming through the void.

The night is black as a black stone.

Let not the hours pass by in the dark.

Kindle the lamp of love with thy life.

-----------------------------------

I am here to sing thee songs.
In this hall of thine I have a corner seat.

In thy world I have no work to do;
my useless life can only break out
in tunes without a purpose.

When the hour strikes for thy silent worship
at the dark temple of midnight, command me,
my master, to stand before thee to sing.

When in the morning air the golden harp is tuned,
honour me, commanding my presence.

What divine drink wouldst thou have, my God,

from this overflowing cup of my life?

My poet, is it thy delight to see thy creation through my eyes

and to stand at the portals of my ears silently to listen

to thine own eternal harmony?

Thy world is weaving words in my mind and thy joy is adding music to them.

Thou givest thyself to me in love and then feelest thine own entire sweetness in me.

===========

Ketika Lembu ‘kan Diberi Cap

Karya: Yohanes Manhitu

Ketika tiba saatnya bagi lembu untuk diberi cap,

lembu ditangkap, diikat dan api unggun pun dibuat.

Sekelompok lelaki membaringkan lembu di tanah,

sebuah kawat dimasukkan ke dalam bara api.

Pada saat kawat telah panas dan membara,

paha yang ditentukan disiapkan ‘tuk dibakar

agar memberi tanda pada hewan harapan

yang ‘kan bawa sukacita kepada empunya.

Cap nama atau cap wilayah tertera di paha lembu

dan tetap di sana ‘tuk lama waktu tak terbilang.

Lembu yang tak bercap, ia laksana lembu liar:

yang milik seseorang, milik yang lain pula.

Bila lembu mempunyai cap, kita, manusia,

memiliki tanda sendiri – yakni nama kita,

dan juga suara yang keluar dari mulut kita.

Nama dan suara, itulah cap bagi tubuh kita.
