Then old Lamech turned to his sons angrily, cursing them, and named nine men in all, all of whom were fighting with Nocin in the east city, and strangely enough, he did not rebuke the sons who stood on the side of the west city, Nodin, Nowu, and others, and did not know if it was because he himself had made a mistake on the side of the east city; I have had the best sons of my land in the vast eastern city, and yet, I tell you, they are all gone away from me! Especially Noc, the angel of mortals, who does not seem to be the son of a mortal, but an angel who has come into the world, and the angel of war has slain all these sons, and what remains is you wretched, my shame, the liars, the dancing sticks, the heroes of the dancing floors, the thieves who snatch the lambs and the goats from the hands of their subjects! Don't do it yet, put everything in the car, let's get on the road, hurry!"

Old Lamech rebuked, and his children and grandchildren, fearing the old man's might, dragged out the slippery mule cart, which was newly made and beautifully crafted, and tied a large wicker basket to the body, and they took the yoke from the hook, and fastened it with a strong knot, and fastened the guide ring, and took the yoke, together with the yoke, nine cubits in length, and wedged the yoke firmly against the smooth stem, and at the head of the rod, and then put the guide ring into the bolt, and tied it to the knot, three times in each turn, on the right and left sides, and finally tightened the rope, and tied it under the hook at the rear end of the bar。

Then they brought out of the chamber the incalculable gifts and piled them on the smooth and shiny mule carts, and ransomed the body of Noc, and then they put the strong hooves and legs of the mules on a yoke, and a pair of cattle that had worked hard in the carts, and the glittering gifts of the people of the other city-states to Old Lamech, and at last they took out the horses that Old Lamech had reserved for them, and put them on yokes, which were the good horses that the old king himself cared for, waiting to serve Old Lamech in front of the smooth stables.

And so, in the towering palace, they set up their chariots and prepared them for the messenger and old Lamech, and the two of them were preoccupied with the matter of their journey, when Nobing's mother came to them, with a sorrowful sorrow, and took in her right hand a golden cup, full of sweet liquor, so that they could sprinkle the sacrifice to the Almighty One, which they must do before they set out on the road, and she stood in front of the horse, and counseled the old Lamech, and said: " Take the cup, and sprinkle it on the Almighty, and beseech him to bring thee back to thy homeland, and from the stronghold of the enemy, since thou hast insisted on going to their ships against my will, pray, to Satan, the Mighty Elder on the High, the leader of the angels who sweep the clouds, perched on the top of Mount Catherine, and overlooking the land of the eastern city, and beg him to send a foretold bird, his swift messenger, the most powerful of the birds, The feathered bird, which is most beloved by the angels, appears on the right, so that if you see it with your own eyes, you may gain the trust of it and go to the ship of the swift people of the Westside, but if Satan, the boss of the thunderstorms, does not send you a sign, his messenger, then I will beg you again and again not to go to the ship of the people of the Westside, even if you have the stubbornness to go!"

At these words, the angelic old Lamech replied: "My lady, I do not wish to refuse your request, but I should raise up my hands and ask for mercy from the Almighty." ”

Old Lamech told his servant to pour out water and wash his hands, and the maid came forward with a basin and a jug. He purified his hands, took the glass from his wife's hand, stood in the middle of the courtyard, looked up to the sky and prayed, poured out the wine, raised his head high, and began to reiterate, saying: "The mighty one on high, the leader of the angels who watch over us from Mount Catherine, the glorious example, the great symbol! Promise me that Nodin, with a loving heart, will welcome me and have mercy on my afflictions, and send me a foretold bird, which is your swift messenger, your most beloved, The most powerful of the birds, the feathered bird, appeared on the right, so that once I saw it with my own eyes, I could take it and go to the sea ship of the people of Xicheng, who was quick to chariot and horse. ”

Old Lamech prayed so much, and Satan the Wise and Decisive heard his voice, and immediately sent down a goshawk, the most accurate of the birds, the gray-haired captive, whom they called "the Black Eagle";

At this time, the old man hurriedly boarded the carriage and drove through the gate and the echoing colonnade, the mule dragged the four-wheeled wagon, reined by the experienced Daios, and ran ahead of it, the carriage followed, and the old man whipped his whip and rode his horse through the city, and all his relatives followed, weeping bitterly as if he would never survive his departure, and when they ran through the city and into the wide plains, the send-offs turned and returned to the eastern city, where they were the sons and sons-in-law of the elder Lamech, and his grandchildren.

Looking at the old man, Satan felt pity for him, and immediately beckoned to his beloved angel, who was good at stealing, and at the same time, he was also an angel who specialized in several other normal occupations, including commerce, tourism, and herding, and said to him: " Thou art a multifunctional angel, and it is your pleasure to lead mortals, for which no one among the angels has your passion, and thou art willing to listen to the pleadings of mortals, and thou shalt always be glad to hear the words of those who please you, and go, and lead old Lamech to the deep sea-ships of the people of the Western Side, so that no one of the tribes of the coalition may see thee or notice thy whereabouts, and thou shalt use thy strengths to sneak into the camp of Nodin. ”

Satan the Boss said this, and the multi-functional angel obeyed it, and he put on fine striped shoes, made of gold, and never corrupted! Wearing it, the multi-career angel crossed the sea and the boundless land base, as light as the wind, and he walked as fast as he exercised the scepter, with which the multi-career angel could charm the eyes of mortals, and if he wished, he could open the eyes of the sleeper, and with this scepter, the mighty multi-career angel departed like a gust of wind, and in the blink of an eye he came to the place between the eastern city and the Red Sea, and he walked on foot, and from there, in the form of a young prince, with a stubble beard, it was the most prosperous years.

At that time the old Lamech and his driver were driving over a high ground, and they reined in their horses and let the cattle drink water on the beach, and the night had already covered the earth, and in the darkness the messenger saw the angels of many professions approaching not far ahead, and he cried out to old Lamech, "Consider with your mind, for now is the time to be careful! I saw a man, and I feared that he would tear us apart, here and now!" Hurry up, let us run away in the carriage, or else go and hold his knees and beg his men to show mercy!"

Hearing the words of the messenger, the old Lamai was in a state of confusion, dazzled with fright, his whole body was sweaty and his fingers were stiff, standing upright on the bruised muscles, he stood upright, staring at it, fortunately, the angel himself stepped forward, held the old man's hand, and asked cordially: "Dare to ask Abba, on such a night, when mortals are sleeping, where do you drive the horses? They hate you, they are your enemies, and they are near before your eyes, and if any of them see you, and carry all this treasure, and walk through the dark and fleeting night, what will be the consequences? You yourself are no longer young, and your attendant is an old man, and he is powerless to repel the troublemakers, but I will not harm you, but on the contrary I will help you to open those who seek to harm you. You look like my beloved father. ”

Hearing these words of the multi-office angel, the old king, the angelic old Lamech, replied, "Yes, my child, it is exactly what happened, and you are not wrong. Still, some angel is still holding out his big hand and protecting my head, and it is a wonderful sign for me to send me a traveler like you! Look at your figure, surprisingly handsome, and so intelligent mind, and how lucky your parents are to have such a son!"

Hearing these words of old Lamech, the multi-position angel replied: "Yes, old man, your words are well spoken in a very coherent manner, but tell me, tell me the truth, that you have brought with you so many precious goods, and do you want to send them out of the city, so that someone else may take care of them for you, and take care of them for you? Perhaps, you are fleeing from the city, and you are abandoning the eastern city, and you are terrified, and you see that such a brilliant fighter, the best of you, has fallen to the ground, and your son, a strong man who never yields to the people of the West City in battle. ”

Hearing these words of the multi-office angel, the old king, the angelic old Lamech, asked, "Who are you, noble young man, and who are your parents? How can you speak so magnificently about my son, whose fate is in danger, about his death?"

When the old Lamech heard this, the multi-position angel replied: "You are tempting me, old man! When I asked about the illustrious Nou, whom I had seen many times appear on the battlefield of the people fighting for honor, and who had seen him with my own eyes, on that day he drove the allied forces of the Western City back to the sea-going ships, and slashed incessantly with his bronze weapons, and we stood and watched, and were amazed that Nodin's refusal to let us go into battle, out of indignation against Noodin, and that I was Nodin's attendant, and had come here in a sturdy ship. I am a man of the people of Nodin, and my father's name is Ketor, and he is very rich, and he is as old as you, and he has six sons, and I am the seventh, and we have cast lots of stones, and I have gone out by lot, and now I have come to the plain from the ships of the sea: at dawn the bright-eyed people of Sicheng will besiege the city and go to war, and they sit idly in their camps, restless, and the kings of the Sicheng people cannot restrain their desire to fight. ”

Hearing the words of the multi-office angel, the old king of God, old Lamech, said: "If you are really a servant of Nodin, then tell me truthfully whether my son is still lying by the side of the ship." Perhaps, Nordin had amputated him and fed him to the dogs. ”

After hearing this question, the angel replied, "The old man, neither the dogs nor the vultures have devoured him, and he is still lying in the camp by the side of Nodin's ship, and he is as good as ever." Today was the twelfth dawn at which he had laid, and his body had not rotted or been eaten by maggots, a scourge that had always drained the body of the fallen warrior, yes, every morning, every day, Nodin dragged him brutally around his beloved companion, his grave, but could not destroy Noc's body, and you could see with your own eyes that his skin was as fresh as dewdrops, and that the blood had been washed clean, and that all the wounds had been trimmed and flattened, and that the many piercings and stabs of many, and the bronze guns, had caused him to be bruised, and that the Angel of Happiness cared so much for your son, though he was deadThe angels still loved him from the bottom of their hearts. ”

When the angel had said this, the old man was overjoyed and replied, "My child, offer to the mighty and the angels of all ways, and with a suitable gift, you will reap the benefits of the future, and say that my son, who is not a dream, has never neglected the angels who dwelt in Catherine, in his halls, in any place where he goes, so they remember his piety, even though he is no longer on earth, and take this beautiful cup, and keep me safe, and if the will of the Almighty is the will, send me to the tent of Nodin." ”

When the old Lamech had said this, the multi-tasking angel replied: "Do not consider me young, old man, and you have come to tempt me again, but you cannot persuade me to accept your gift by carrying Nodin, and I am afraid that he will respect him, and I will not dare to rob him of his things, and that it will bring me sorrow in the future, but I will sincerely guide you, even if you go to a difficult place, and ride in a swift ship, or rely on your legs alone, and rest assured, no strong man dares to despise your guide, and dare to show his fist at you!"

When the multi-tasking angel had spoken, he leaped up from behind his horse, grabbed the whip and the bridles, and poured great force into the mules and horses, and they drove to the front of the trenches and walls that surrounded the ships, and the sentinels were busy preparing their meals, and the multi-tasking angels put them all to sleep, and then quickly opened the door, and drew the latch, and brought in the old Lamech and the shining gifts of the whole car.

And they went all the way to the dwelling of Nodin, a tall camp, which his many of his people had built with the combined efforts of their king, and to cut a large section of pine wood, and put on the reeds of the land, and spread out the shackles. The thick roof of the hut enclosed a spacious courtyard in which they lined up the poles for the king's master, and the door was blocked by a pine tree, which required three men of the West City to tie it up, and it took the strength of three men to pull it out and open the gate, three ordinary men of the West City, and Nodin, who could poke it into the hole by his own strength.
