Sulawesi Language Texts

RAMPI 53

RAMPI

Rampi is a member of the Kaili-Pamona languajze group. It is spoken by
approximately 7,000 people who live in Luwu district, South Sulawesi, aoout fivfe
days walk from Masamba town to the north near the border of South and Central
Sulawesi. Of the texts in this volume, Rampi is most closely related to the Uma
language, but at the same time it is quite distinct. Since this particular text
represents an early analysis of the language, some of the affixes, especially the
verbalizers (VR), are not clearly differentiated.

The following text is a Rampi legend (simple narrative text) recorded by
MPone Wungko in Onondowa Rampi November 1988.

His wife said: "Well, what can we do?
It is not we who know what our lives will
be. The one who knows, he is the
creator, who gives us our life. Maybe he
will bless us. At that time there was
also a mouse, who heard the words or
the discussion of the royal couple. The
mouse started to think about the
couple's discussion. It is better that I
see where the king usually goes to uri-
nate.

Isterinya menjawab, "Apa yang dap^t
kita buat? Kita tidak menfietahui [apa
yang akan terjadi dalamj kehidupan
kita. Yang mengetahui adalah penapta
yang memberilum kehidupan kepada
kita. Mungkin dia akan memberkati
kita." Pada waktu itu ada seekor tikus
yang mendengar perkataan atau pern-
bicaraan raja dan istrinya itu. Tikus itc
memikirkan pembicaran suami-isteri iti
[berpikir], '*Lebih baik saya melihat d
mana biasanya raja membuang air seni.*

One time the mouse went for a walk to
the forest. Suddenly on the path there
was a man's snare. She was trapped and
she died immediately. Her son waited,
but she didn't return. Then he went to
look for his mother in the forest.
Suddenly he found his mother, already
dead in the trap. He opened the snare
and brought the body to their home,
which was a hole in the ground. There
he wrapped up the body and guarded it
and cried for his mother, the mouse.
The king heard someone crying in the

Right away he went to look for the
source and suddenly found that the
sound came from a hole in the ground.
He saw a boy crying. He was really
handsome and he had gold teeth and
nails. So the king seized the boy and the
cloth that he was guarding and took
them to his house. The king returned
with the boy that he had found and took
him to his bed, because he was really
happy to have found such a handsome
boy.
