He killed all the Koriaks. Having killed the rest he killed the last one, the most important one.

That's what happened.

That Koriak chief came with his daughter.

He came and said: "Where is Xalantin?"

Then Xalantin said: "I will show you Xalantin."

In reality he was Xalantin himself sitting there.

The Koriak said: "Please, kill Xalantin for me."

He said: "Brother, kill Xalantin. I will pay you." Xalantin deceived him.

The Koriak said: "I will work for you for several years without money.

If you kill Xalantin. Xalantin is a bandit."

But it was Xalantin himself, sitting there and deceiving him.

"Ok, I will show you Xalantin tomorrow," he said.

"He lives in a place thirty kilometers from here," he said.

Xalantin was alerted, thinking that he would kill him.

He saw that the Koriak took off his shirt and dressed all in iron.

An iron waist-coat.

Only here under the arm was there a hole, all the rest was iron.

"How shall I kill him?

He was thinking all the time.

"How shall I kill him? With which trick shall I kill him?"

Well, Xalantin said: "Let's go tomorrow.

If you want to kill him. It is thirty kilometers from here."

Then the Koriak said to Xalantin: "Oh, you seem to be a nice person."

Comment:
The word 'said' is missing.

He cut off some fatty meat from the pot with the knife and gave it to Xalantin.

Comment:
The Yukaghirs consider fat the best part of the meat.

"Eat some fatty meat."

He had such a knife.

With an iron handle. He was a hero indeed.

So they left.

They prepared to leave.

Xalantin threw away his knife on purpose.

He blocked the hole in his pipe tightly.

He blocked it with wood so that it was completely closed.

"Let it be blocked," he said.

So they went.

On the way they chose a place where willow trees grew.

Xalantin thought that there shouldn't be any trees and that he would sit in that place..

But tthere should be some willow trees where that man would sit.

They chose such a place.

Xalantin said: "Let's have a rest here.

Yes, let's have a rest."

That man said: "Ok."

They took off their skis and sat down on them.

Comment:
Ugurc'E is the traditional ski with the reindeer fur on the bottom. The Yukaghirs also borrowed the Russian skis called kOlis'E, from the Russian dialectal golicI.

They sat down and were going to smoke.

Xalantin took his pipe and sucked on it.

He said: "Oh, it is blocked."

Then he started looking for his knife.

He said: "Oh, brother, it seems that I forgot my knife.

I am dying, how shall I go without a knife?" he said deceiving him.

That's what he said deceiving him.

He took a stick, broke a willow branch, and dug at his pipe deceptively.

What was he to do? The pipe became more and more tightly blocked.

He said: "Oh, brother, give me your knife.

It is completely blocked," he said.

He dug at it, but his knife was lika that.

It was so wide.

How would it fit?

He dug at his pipe on purpose.

Then he scratched his head.

There were no trees there.

But there are trees to the South.

He said: "Brother, break a stick and give it to me."

So it was. The Koriak stood up on his skis and took that tree. As soon as it broke, Xalantin pierced him with the knife.

He pierced him with the knife and threw it away.

That hero stood up, took Xalantin, and went for his knife.

He didn't put on his skis. As soon as he took his knife, he died.

He completely collapsed.

He was the last Koriak.The Koriaks didn't come there anymore.

They didn't come anymore.

Before that they had killed thousand people on the Kolyma.

The Koriaks.

Xalantin was a good person.

Xalantin went home with both horses.

He came and said to his wife: "Take off my boots."

Earlier he had said: "If I don't come, it means he has killed me."

Then he said: "When you take my stockings off, say to that girl, the daughter of the Koriak chief: "Run away.

Comment:
For soturi: cf. Russian dialectal suturI 'long stockings made of the skin from the leg of a reindeer and worn over the boots'.

My husband killed your father. Take everything." Give her two reindeer and let her go.

So that girl left on two reindeer.

She had trouble reaching home.
