there was a powerful hermit  named Lok Ta Moni Eysei.

有一位強大的隱士， 叫做羅塔莫尼艾賽。

Moni Mekhala,  the brilliant goddess of the seas,

Vorachhun, the princely manifestation of the earth,

莫妮梅卡拉，聰明的海之女神，

and Ream Eyso, a demon whose  heart burned with passionate fire.

Lok Ta wished to bestow a gift  upon his most deserving student.

還有瑞安艾索， 內心燃燒著烈火的惡魔。

To determine which of the three that was, he announced a contest:

羅塔想要把一個禮物 贈予最值得的學生。

whoever first brought back  a glass full of morning dew

為了決定三個學生誰最值得， 他宣佈了一項競賽：

When dusk came, Vorachhun  and Ream Eyso ventured into the forest.

They left not one leaf  or blade of grass untouched,

黃昏時，佛拉強和 瑞安艾索冒險進入森林。

impatiently shaking  the precious fluid into their glasses.

他們沒有漏掉任何一片樹葉或草葉，

很不耐煩地把寶貴的液體 搖入他們的瓶子裡。

they found Moni Mekhala sitting patiently  with a full glass of morning dew.

他們發現莫妮梅卡拉耐心地 坐在那裡，帶著一整瓶晨露。

and won the contest by simply wringing out the fabric over her glass.

她把她的披巾留在外頭，放了一晚，

Proud of all his students,  and loving them like his own children,

只把布上的露水擰絞到 她的瓶子裡，就贏了競賽。

羅塔以他所有的學生為榮， 愛他們如同自己的孩子，

He turned the dew Ream Eyso  collected into a diamond axe,

出乎意料，三名學生 都得到他的禮物。

他把瑞安艾索收集到的露水 變成一把鑽石斧頭，

and Moni Mekhala's into a crystal ball  unlike anything ever seen.

Soon Ream Eyso grew covetous  and decided he must have Mekhala's prize.

莫妮梅卡拉的露水變為 前所未見的水晶球。

He and Vorachhun tried to woo the goddess so they could get the precious gem.

很快，瑞安艾索起了貪念， 決定要奪取莫妮梅卡拉的獎品。

But after she rejected their advances  and flew off,

他和佛拉強試圖追求 這位女神，以取得珍寶。

Ream Eyso resolved  to take the crystal ball by force.

但，她拒絕了他們的殷勤並飛走了，

Ream Eyso flew through the air  in search of Moni Mekhala,

瑞安艾索決心要強行奪取水晶球。

瑞安艾索飛上天，尋找莫妮梅卡拉，

On his way, he encountered Vorachhun  and attacked him,

knowing that the righteous prince would never allow him to steal the crystal.

他在路上遇到佛拉強，並攻擊他，

The demon gained the upper hand  in the heat of battle,

因為知道這正直的王子 不會讓他去偷水晶。

and hurled Vorachhun  against the side of a mountain.

在激烈的戰鬥中，惡魔佔了上風，

Ream Eyso continued his search until he finally found Moni Mekhala.

He demanded that she  and her friends either submit to him,

瑞安艾索繼續尋找， 他終於找到了莫妮梅卡拉。

the most brilliant of Lok Ta's students  and rightful master of the crystal ball,

他要求她和她的朋友臣服於他，

要羅塔最聰明的學生 和水晶球的正當持有人臣服於他，

Mekhala, without fear,  refused and flew off into the clouds,

hoping to draw the demon away from her friends.

梅卡拉並不害怕， 拒絕了他，飛入雲中，

Ream Eyso took the bait, ripping through nimbus after nimbus in his crazed pursuit.

希望把惡魔引走，遠離她的朋友。

Once far enough away,  Mekhala confronted her pursuer.

瑞安艾索上當了， 瘋狂追逐，衝過層層雨雲。

Ream Eyso made one last demand  but the goddess remained unfazed.

夠遠了之後，梅卡拉 正面面對她的追擊者。

Enraged, he began  to swing his diamond axe.

瑞安艾索下了最後通牒， 但女神仍然不為所動。

Before he could hurl the weapon, Mekhala threw her crystal into the air.

他被激怒了，揮舞著他的鑽石斧頭。

在他能把武器投擲去出之前， 梅卡拉把她的水晶丟到空中。

it emitted powerful flashes  of lightning that blinded the demon.

Ream Eyso let his axe loose  in wild desperation.

它散發出強大的閃電， 讓惡魔瞎了眼。

As the weapon flew through the air  it cut through clouds,

瑞安艾索狂暴絕望地鬆開他的斧頭。

And when the lightning and thunder mixed,

precious seeds  of water fell from heaven: rain.

Mekhala drew close to Ream Eyso,  now blind and impotent without his axe.

天上落下了珍貴的水種子：雨。

She pondered what she should do to the murderer.

梅卡拉靠近瑞安艾索， 他現已失明，沒有斧頭可抵抗。

Remembering the kindness  and love of her teacher,

她在思考要如何處置這個殺人兇手。

Moni Mekhala chose compassion  and flew into the sky.

因為想起了老師的仁慈和關愛，

Shortly later, Ream Eyso regained his  strength, found his axe, and followed her.

莫妮梅卡拉選擇同理心，飛回天上。

Thunder, lightning, and rain continued  to dance across the earth.

沒多久，瑞安艾索重新取得力量， 找到斧頭，追隨她。

Some drops fell on Vorachhun and revived him,

雷、閃電、雨就持續在地球上共舞。

his skin golden like  a rice field ready for harvest.

有些雨滴落到佛拉強身上，讓他復活，

他的皮膚變成金黃色， 就像已可收割的稻米田。

he flew into the sky in search  of Ream Eyso and Moni Mekhala.
