Saunavuoro

Karhu ja kettu istuvat rannalla liki rantasaunaa. Saunassa on jo lämmin tuoksu. Kumppanukset muhittavat saunaa makoisaksi.

Karhu raottaa turkkiaan, raaputtaa vatsaansa ajatuksissaan ja toteaa: "Alkaa olla unen aika." Kettu nyökkää.

Pieni suden poikanen kulkee syvällä metsässä. Se haistaa kypsyvän löylyn ja lähtee sitä kohden. Hetkeksi se jää metsän reunaan katselemaan kumppanusten touhuja uskaltautuen kuitenkin kohta juttusille. "Susi tulee ja saunaan" se ilmoittaa hieman tohkeissaan.

"Tule." Myöntyy karhu kursailematta. Kettu virnistää ketusti ja lupaa: "Pääset uimaankin."

Kohta kuuluu saunasta valmiiksi tekeytyneen löylyn kihinä ja kumppanusten eloriemukas turina. Karhu haukottelee yhtenään ja on kellistymäisillään saunan penkille. Kettu ja pieni suden poikanen herättelevät sitä vuoron perään. Saunan seinustalla tuulettuu kolme eri kokoista turkkia.

Saunottuaan kyllikseen kumppanukset lähtevät karhun kartanolle. Kettu antaa eväspaketistaan ketunleipiä karhulle, joka jo kohta nukahtaa sohvalle. Kettu ja pieni suden poikanen istuvat hetken kuunnellen karhun jymeää kuorsausta. "Löysitkö tarinoita, susi?" Kysyy kettu pää kallellaan. "Kerrotko niitä?"

Pieni suden poikanen tuntee itsensä suureksi kertoessaan ketulle tarinoitaan. Taustalla kuuluu karhun ikiaikainen unilaulu. Kettu iloitsee tästä hetkestä.

Time for Sauna

A bear and a fox are sitting by the lakeshore near a shorefront sauna. The warmth of the sauna is wafting on the air. The friends incubate the sauna to generate a pleasantly sweaty heat.

The bear gropes under its fur, absentmindedly scratches its belly and yawns, "It is about time to go to sleep." The fox nods.

A little young wolf wanders in the deep woods. It smells the emanating sauna steam and finds its way towards it. The little young wolf remains a while at the forest edge to observe what the friends are doing. Being agog, it approaches them anxiously saying, "Wolf will have sauna too."

"Have," agrees the bear without hesitating. The fox grins foxily and puckishly promises, "You can go swimming too."

Shortly, well incubated steaming voices and joyous chatters are heard from the sauna. The bear keeps on yawning and is about to fall asleep on the sauna bench. The fox and the little young wolf take turns in keeping it awake. Outside the sauna, three different furs are seen airing.

After spending long and leisurely moments in the sauna, the friends depart for the bear's estate. The fox gives green morsels from its lunch basket to the bear that almost instantly falls asleep on the sofa. The fox and the little young wolf sit and listen to the bear's rumbling snore. 'Did you find stories, wolf?" asks the fox with its head tilted. "Will you share them?"

The little young wolf feels very adult while telling the stories to the fox. The bear's snoring is like an ancient dream song in the background. The fox is elated with this special moment.

Tayo na sa Sauna

Isang oso at isang alamid ang nakaupo sa may tabing-lawa sa tapat ng isang sauna. Ang kainitan ng sauna ay sumasamyo sa hangin. Ang magkakaibigan ay linilimliman ang sauna upang lumikha ng kaiga-igayang nakakapawis na init.

Kinapa ng oso ang ilalim ng kanyang balahibo, lingat na kinamot ang kanyang tiyan at humikab, "Malapit na ang oras para matulog." Tumango ang alamid.

May isang maliit at batang lobo na gagala-gala sa kalaliman ng kagubatan. Nalanghap niya ang singaw na nagmumula sa sauna at tinuklas niya ang daan patungo rito. Ang maliit na lobo ay nanatiling pansamantala sa may gilid ng gubat at minasid ang ginagawa ng magkakaibigan. Dahil sa kasabikan, nilapitan nito sila at nagsabing, "Lobo ay gustong mag sauna rin."

"Maari," sang-ayon ng oso na walang pag-aatubili. Kaakit-akit na ngumisi ang alamid at pabirong nangako, "Maaari ka ring lumangoy."

Ilang sandali lamang, mga mauusok na tinig na ganap ng nalimliman at mga masasayang daldalan ang maririnig mula sa sauna." Panay ang paghihikab ng oso at malapit na siyang makatulog sa ibabaw ng bangko ng sauna. Ang lobo at ang maliit na alamid ay nagpapalitang ginigising siya. Sa labas ng sauna, tatlong iba't-ibang balahibo ang makikitang pinapahanginan.

Pagkatapos manatili ng mahaba at maginhawang mga sandali sa sauna, lumikas ang magkakaibigan patungo sa asyenda ng oso. Nagbigay ang alamid ng mga berdeng piraso ng pagkain mula sa kanyang pananghaliang sisidlan sa oso, na halos agad-agad ay nakatulog sa supa. Ang alamid at ang maliit na lobo ay naupo at pinakinggan ang dumadagundong na hilik ng oso. Nakahanap ka ba ng mga kuwento, lobo?", tanong ng alamid na naka-kiling ang ulo. "Maaari mo bang ibahagi sila?"

Ang maliit at batang lobo ay damang-dama ang kanyang pagiging sapat sa gulang habang siya'y nagsasalaysay sa alamid. Ang hilik ng oso ay maihahambing sa isang lumang awiting pampanaginip sa likuran. Nagagalak ang alamid sa natatanging sandaling ito.

Kootut selitykset

Saunavuoro, niinkuin muutkin tarinat, on käännetty ryhmätyönä, keskustelemalla ja pohtimalla. Saa tehdä ehdotuksia ja parannuksia jos haluaa.

Oletteko havainneet, että google on oppinut suomea? Olisikohan sillä hyvä tehdä käännöksiä? Kokeillaan. Tarinan ensimmäinen kappale kääntyy suomesta englanniksi näin: "Moose and the fox sitting in a beach nearly rantasaunaa. The sauna is already warm scent. Partners muhittavat saunas makoisaksi."

Merkittävää on se, että suomen kieli on maailman valtakielien mukana. Onhan meitä suomen taitajia reilu 5 miljoonaa. Panostamisen arvoinen populaatio. Nytkin sai tekijä kehuja :) Odotettavaa on että tuo tuosta paranee. Vuoden päästä on todennäköisesti jo ihan eri tasoinen palvelu tarjolla.

(Kerrostalossa viikottainen saunavuoro oli jotain mitä odotettiin kovasti. Saunassa oli lämmintä ja paljon vettä.)
