Dragon Humbaba (Huvava)

Gilgames was happy with Enkidu, but for some reason he could not sit still, thinking about things to do. He had found what to do now. In the meantime, since Enkidu came from the wild life – despite his friendship with Gilgames, the glass was getting bored, and the basibos started looking for the dirt he loved, the animals he loved dearly . The more he thought of Gilgames’ offer to go and kill the monster Huwawa (Humbaba) in the cedar woods , the more he did not find it negative at all . He told Gilgames, “My dear friend, you are right in your request to kill the beast. If he dies.
Our people will be saved from it, and you will make your name immortal by adding a san. In this series’ vein, I will not leave you alone. However, I still want to warn you again.
Those who entered the forest where the monster Huvava lived could not get out again. Monster of a storm like that of the roaring flood, fire destroys a hair breath from the mouth everything I told you to are output. Knowing that, do you want to go there again? “
Gilgames said, “Thank you for reminding them again, but only Gods are immortal, people’s days of life are counted. Their daily deeds pass like the wind. Whereas if we kill monsters, at least our name will live. We will die anyway. So let’s not be afraid of death . If we fear him, where will our heroic strength be? Even if I die, ‘Gilgames is terrible
They say, ‘He died while fighting with Huwawa and my name is unforgettable again.’

Thereupon, the two of them applied to the masters to have weapons made to go to this war. They told each of them to make different weights of ax, sword, and mace. When they were prepared, they loaded them and came to the square of the city of Uruk. The people heard that they were going and gathered in the square . To the old people of the city, Gilgames. the beast he wanted to kill. Gilgames did not listen, although they told him how terrible it was, as Enkidu had said . Moreover, he laughed at them.
The old people, ignoring his laughter, said, “O our king! You are young. We also do not want to lose a king like you. Please don’t go!” they said. They saw that Gilgames did not seem to give up his decision , then they said, “Leave Enkidu, get ahead of you. He grew up wild , he knows how to fight and protects you.” Gilgames said, “How come, can I bring my friend forward to save myself, what thoughtless people!” he was saying.
This time, young people were brought forward. They said, “We will come with you.” Gilgames looked that he could not get rid of his hands , and when he told them, “If any of you have a mother, father, wife, child, or more precisely, no one to cry, they can come with us , who will cry over your death when you die.” Gilgames. After realizing that they really had nobody to feel sorry for them , he said, “You can come with us, too,” and handed them the weapons in their hands .
Gilgames said, “Come, Enkidu, let’s go to my wise mother before we set out. She will make the best suggestions for this journey we will take to us.” His mother , Goddess Ninsun Egal, was waiting for them at her temple . When Gilgames saw his mother, he immediately ran and hugged his hands and said, “My mother, I am going on a long journey. No matter how strong I am, I will go on a path I do not know, and there I will fight with Huvava, which I do not know. If something happens that makes our great Sun God Samas angry, until I go there and return.” What will happen to you instead of me
soothe. If I kill Huvava and cut my cedar trees, let the whole country be you! I will erect a monument marking this victory right before your eyes. “Do not spare your prayers from me !”
Gilgames’ mother, who was very touched by these words, put her hands on their heads, blessed them and turned to Enkidu, “You have no mother and father. I did not give birth to you, but you are still considered my son . You grew up in the dirt. You are stronger than Gilgames, you entrust him to you. I ” indicates, Enkidu very feeling was, flows justifies the eyes,” me son accept you for ettiginiz I can not thank what I so small. Gilgamesh was my brother. Its for my best going to do to him Pursuant we retain me, I promise with all my heart. Only the presentation without telling I won’t. Gilgames is so strong that I do n’t really think he will need my help, ”said Gilgames . Ninsun was very happy with these words and the two she held she put the necklace on their necks. The necklaces were engraved with pictures of guardian elves , with copper hangers. While wearing them, “May these bring you luck on your journey, protect you!” said. Ninsun put on his most beautiful clothes after having sent them away. He put on necklaces made of precious stones around his neck . He put his crown on his head. After being so decorated and dressed, he climbed to the top of the temple . From there he lit incense to the God of the Sun, and raising his hands towards him, “O great Samas! Why did you make my son Gilga-mes like this? With your permission , he is going on a long and dangerous journey to kill Huwawa. I ask you.” . Help him, protect him! ” he cried and prayed. Gilgames, Enkidu ahead, the others set off behind them. They all had heavy guns on their backs, beer and food stuffed in leather overalls. Walking under such a load
it was not easy at all. But they had a purpose. They thought of nothing but achieving this goal . This gave them great power. There were seven mountains to hang in front of them. They were walking from one mountain to another . When they were hungry, they sat and ate, when their sleep came, they lay down and lie down . They were driving their way at night, looking at the stars. When the weather was a little cloudy, they sat and rested to avoid being surprised in which direction they were going, and when the stars began to appear, they continued on their way. Inside Gilgames, despite all his courage, “Will we succeed?” There was a concern. So when they went up to a mountain, he sprinkled some flour on the mountain as a sacrifice and said, “O mountain! What we come to fail would show me my dream, “he prayed. I Enkidu, comfortable sleep you see a positive dream he was preparing a good place to be or Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh in there reached up yattig was Enkidu, put his knees on his head. Gilgamesh, fatigue immediately fell asleep under the influence. Enkidu was also making great efforts not to sleep while he was sitting .
Gilgamesh, “Dear friend, I had a dream as I want. You do the review,” he began to tell his dream: “I was confronted with my dream kirlar browse the shit. Queues were rubbing the place with. The sky rose a cloud of dust. I knelt down right in front of him. He handles me My tongue was sticking out in dissonance. He gave me water to drink from the overall. “
Enkidu, “Dear friends! Encounters that our protective crap Sun God Samas. Difficult to extend us a hand in our case, it would help. Giving water to Tulum, you onurlandinlacag Download” and “No olmasin backstrap, once we have one, Huvava of how the middle though He encouraged Gilgames, saying, “We will achieve what nobody in our country can do.” They continued walking again. The road was so long that when they were reaching out to rest, Gilgames fired up and said, “Enkidu I had a dream again. Let’s see how you interpret it?” He began: “We were standing at the bottom of a deep mountain. The mountain immediately resurrected. It knocked me to the ground. The mountain caught my feet and didn’t let them go. We stayed in front of him like mountain flies. The light glowed strongly. A man appeared to me. He was the most beautiful in the country. He pulled me under the mountain, made me drink water. My heart was relieved, my feet touched the ground. ” Enkidu.” My dear friend, very beautiful dream. The mountain you see is Humbaba. We will catch him and kill him. We will throw the dead in the field. Tomorrow everything will end up saying “save the Dream commented in. Again they relax, Gilgamesh.” I saw a third dream, “said Enkidu to the dream began to tell:” the sky roars, the place was buzzing. Then suddenly everywhere was buried in the death quiet league. It was dark. There was a great light behind him. A fire flared up. Then the more or less white flame froze and the fire died. Everything that happened turned to ash. ” Enkidu interpreted the dream by saying, “My friend, all this is a sign that we will kill Humbaba.” But, despite his interpretation of the dream that way, Enkidu felt fear he could not understand. When he said timidly to Gilgames, “My dear friend, I have a fear of which I do not know why. My feet are going backwards. My arms are as if they are stuck. But I never want to leave you alone ,” Gilgames looked at his face in astonishment, “Suddenly what happened to you? Or else? dream in another way with a comment, you did not tell me directly? I Wake up brothers. We walked all this way. your heart’s war-crashing, why this fear? come let us hand in hand. you know the adage us, ‘two-story ropes kopmazmis’. We together When it happens, we will overcome whatever happens to us. I will go first. When we killed Humbaba and returned to Uruk, he tried to rid him of his fear , so that we could think of how we would be met . Enkidu also knew that it was no longer time to be afraid of such a fear . For her
comfortably let us continue on our way, “he said. On the Road ran out of food, animals hunt and ate. The beer ran out, they drink water from the springs. The roads are endless, does not run out as they were stronger though more so. One day also it is facing and that monster lived and is protecting the field y cedar forest on the way! forest nears, fuck cedar trees of dazzling beauty bakakaldi on. All hasmet with shining sun warming the sokmamis were in the woods. Ora in the outer part if anyone girmesin he plated the thicket. he understands monster came of them and Gilgamesh to was a blow it is true that Gilgamesh there fell asleep. friends of monster blow out They didn’t realize that he was sleeping because of it and they said, “He’s very tired, let’s sleep”. He had fallen into such a deep sleep that days pass, he is not waking up. Finally, they decided to wake him up.
“Gilgamesh, how long will you sleep, wake up and get up now, we are waiting for you” while trying to awaken, it is in a great confusion jumped up from the ground yattig, “What happened to me? Why am I fell asleep, why did not you wake me up to now? I hit the road right away. He monster “No matter how terrible it is, I will catch and kill him.” When they came into the forest, the trees were so bored that it was impossible to cut them and walk without clearing them . The young men who came together were cutting trees with axes and making bundles to take them home . As they opened the way and began to advance, Huvava began to roar when he realized that they were approaching. With his roar the trees were shaking, as if the ground was moving. Enkidu said, “You hear the roar of my friend the beast? Are you still not afraid?” said. “Nothing can scare us, as long as we are together. I have no doubt that we will defeat him when hand in hand, ” said Gilgames. They continued walking, supporting each other. Just then, a storm broke out, turning everything upside down. It was such a storm that it was breaking the branches and leaves of the trees and hitting the ground, throwing those on the ground into the air. The dust had become invisible to the eyes . In this turmoil, Gilgames caught Enkidu and said, “Don’t be afraid of this storm! Do not doubt that our Sun God Samas sent this to make it easier for us to catch the dragon !” said. Gilgames in this he was right. Because the dragon was baffled by this storm, not knowing what to do, he appeared before them with his terrible face, his mouth showing all his teeth. Taking advantage of his astonishment, it was one of the Gil-Games’s fist in the face when he was thrown on the dragon with a cry that suppressed even the sound of the storm. The dragon, dazed by the storm, fell to the ground with this unexpected punch. Seeing this, Enkidu quickly jumped on him and tied him tightly with the rope he was holding. Huvava told Gilgames, “What happens, Gilgames, let me out! I will not touch you at all. I will not harm people, they can cut trees from the forest as much as they want . As long as you leave me! I will be your servant slave, just don’t kill me.” she began begging.
This mighty, merciless looking Gilgames neither had a filo pastry heart! Immediately he said to Enkidu slowly, “Look how the poor begging. He promises not to do anything to us and our people . Come let’s not kill him.” Enkidu was very angry at this: “Are you crazy, do you believe in his words? His name is beast! Does he stop what they say? If we leave him, we cannot return to our country. Ready.
Is it okay to escape while holding it? I’ll kill him immediately, ”he said, and he killed him with a blow with his sword. They cut off the beast’s head and put it aside. Just when they were going to take the bag and set off, Enkidu said to Gilgames,“ My friend, something came to me now. “Let ‘s cut the longest and most beautiful tree of the forest while we are here,” Gilgames promptly asked, “What are you going to do with him?” Enkidu said, “I want to have him built a very magnificent door to the temple of our great God Enlil at Nip-pur .”
Gilgames liked this suggestion. For they feared that the Lord Enlil , who was in charge of the Forest, for they had killed Humbaba, would snipe them. They found the tallest and thickest tree in the forest. They cut it down and released it into the Firat River with the woods that the young men who came with them cut and bundled to make way into the forest . The river would take them to Uruk. After this work was completed, they returned to Uruk with a great victory. The people of Uruk were waiting for them with curiosity. As soon as they can be seen from afar, “They are coming!” His words suddenly spread across the city in waves. Before they even reached the city square, the people had gathered there. The bag was opened before everyone’s curious eyes. People The terrible head of the beast that had trembled with fear for years, did not let them into the forest, appeared. A great joy began in the public. Everyone hugged each other, then ran to Gilgames, hugged him and said , “You are the greatest hero of our country.” The same demonstration was given to Enkidu . Gilgames was thus famous for having the city wall and other structures built, as well as the hero for saving the country from this monster by killing the monster fearlessly.
