You are the supreme and most powerful chieftain, | |||
You came to me, across my seas which are distant. | |||
You are the one whom the spirit was looking for, and he made a request, | |||
He made a request to the Great Spirit of the Heavens, | |||
And then he gave you (this) **custom; | |||
But take heed, the one who pays with silver shall not be protected from death. | |||
All of this has happened because that tree had toppled everything around it. | |||
(**Note: there is no differentiation from "custom" and "law" in tribal Minhast society) | |||
