| Forge thyself a golden ploughshare,
|
| Forge the beam and mail of silver.
|
| And then with ease
|
| Thou can plough the field of serpents,
|
| Plough the field of hissing vipers
|
| -plough the soil of evil Hisi!
|
| I’ll hunt thine ancient mother of evil,
|
| Hunt thine origin, o hissing serpent
|
| — vilest thing of God’s create
|
| Syöjätär, ancient mother, thy creator
|
| -this is thine origin!
|
| Serpents there of every species,
|
| Lempo furrowed it with the white horses
|
| And his ploughshare!
|
| With a beam of flaming iron!
|
| Never since has a northern hero
|
| Brought this field to cultivation.
|
| I’ll hunt thine ancient mother of evil,
|
| Hunt thine origin, o hissing serpent
|
| — vilest thing of god’s create
|
| Syöjätär, ancient mother, thy creator
|
| -this is thine origin!
|
| Get thee hence, thou loathsome monster,
|
| Clear the pathway of this hero!
|
| I’ll hunt thine ancient mother of evil,
|
| Hunt thine origin, o hissing serpent
|
| — vilest thing of God’s create
|
| Syöjätär, ancient mother, thy creator
|
| -this is thine origin! |
