Ayam Jantan Peramal | The Rooster Prophesier
Setelah semua kepala keluarga
menyelesaikan rakit masing-masing,
maka semua anggota keluarganya serta
harta benda dan perbekalan mereka
masing-masing naik ke atasnya.
Perjalanan lewat air dengan
menghiliri sungai Miri dimulai. Rakit
dihanyutkan satu persatu dengan teratur.
Kaum lelaki yang muda dan tangkas dari
setiap kelompok keluarga yang berada
pada masing-masing rakit bertugas
menjaga arah larutnya rakit itu, agar
tidak tertumbuk ke tepi sungai.
Untuk menghilangkan rasa lelah,
bergantian dari setiap rakit membunyikan
tetabuhan tradisional berupa pemukulan
gong, kenong dan gendang.
Buat memberikan petunjuk agar
mendapat tempat tinggal yang baik
di sungai Kahayan nanti, Sempung
mempergunakan seekor ayam jantan
yang diperolehnya sewaktu ia merantau
dahulu.
Having finished all their rafts,
everyone and their belonging went
aboard the rafts.
The journey through the water
going down the Miri River began. Rafts
were set one by one in order. Young and
agile men from each group assigned to
navigate the rafts and keep them away
from striking the riverside.
For relaxation, some take turns
beating traditional percussion such as
gong, kenong, and gendang.
To give direction which location
would fit them best, Sempung had his
rooster as their guidance, which he had
found in the previous journey.
Some of the rooster gambler called
it the Iron Steering Rooster, because it
had a very long, dark colored feather in
the tail. This Sempung’s rooster was all
white, and thus named Atung Sempung.
