The
Bright Sun Brings It to Light.
A tailor's apprentice
was traveling about the world in search of work, and at one time
he could find none, and his poverty was so great that he had not
a farthing to live on. Presently he met a Jew on the road, and as
he thought he would have a great deal of money about him, the tailor
thrust God out of his heart, fell on the Jew, and said, give me
your money, or I will strike you dead. Then said the Jew, grant
me my life, I have no money but eight farthings. But the tailor
said, money you have, and it shall be produced, and used violence
and beat him until he was near death. And when the Jew was dying,
the last words he said were, the bright sun will bring it to light,
and thereupon he died. The tailor's apprentice felt in his pockets
and sought for money, but he found nothing but eight farthings,
as the Jew had said. Then he took him up and carried him behind
a clump of trees, and went onwards to seek work. After he had traveled
about a long while, he found work in a town with a master who had
a pretty daughter, with whom he fell in love, and he married her,
and lived in good and happy wedlock.

Die
klare Sonne bringts an den Tag
Ein Schneidergesell
reiste in der Welt auf sein Handwerk herum, und konnte er einmal
keine Arbeit finden, und war die Armut bei ihm so groß, daß
er keinen Heller Zehrgeld hatte. In der Zeit begegnete ihm auf dem
Weg ein Jude, und da dachte er, der hätte viel Geld bei sich,
und stieß Gott aus seinem Herzen, ging auf ihn los und sprach
'gib mir dein Geld, oder ich schlag dich tot.' Da sagte der Jude
'schenkt mir doch das Leben, Geld hab ich keins und nicht mehr als
acht Heller.' Der Schneider aber sprach 'du hast doch Geld, und
das soll auch heraus,' brauchte Gewalt und schlug ihn so lange,
bis er nah am Tod war. Und wie der Jude nun sterben wollte, sprach
er das letzte Wort 'die klare Sonne wird es an den Tag bringen!,
und starb damit. Der Schneidergesell griff ihm in die Tasche und
suchte nach Geld, er fand aber nicht mehr als die acht Heller, wie
der Jude gesagt hatte. Da packte er ihn auf, trug ihn hinter einen
Busch und zog weiter auf sein Handwerk. Wie er nun lange Zeit gereist
war, kam er in eine Stadt bei einem Meister in Arbeit, der hatte
eine schöne Tochter, in die verliebte er sich und heiratete
sie und lebte in einer guten vergnügten Ehe.

After
a long time when he and his wife had two children, the wife's father
and mother died, and the young people kept house alone. One morning,
when the husband was sitting on the table before the window, his wife
brought him his coffee, and when he had poured it out into the saucer,
and was just going to drink, the sun shone on it and the reflection
gleamed hither and thither on the wall above, and made circles on
it. Then the tailor looked up and said, yes, it would like very much
to bring it to light, and cannot. The woman said, o, dear husband,
and what is that, then. What do you mean by that. He answered, I must
not tell you. But she said, if you love me, you must tell me, and
used her most affectionate words, and said that no one should ever
know it, and left him no rest. Then he told her how years ago, when
he was traveling about seeking work and quite worn out and penniless,
he had killed a Jew, and that in the last agonies of death, the Jew
had spoken the words, the bright sun will bring it to light. And now,
the sun had just wanted to bring it to light, and had gleamed and
made circles on the wall, but had not been able to do it. After this,
he again charged her particularly never to tell this, or he would
lose his life, and she did promise. However, when he had sat down
to work again, she went to her great friend and confided the story
to her, and asked her never to repeat it to any human being, but before
three days were over, the whole town knew it, and the tailor was brought
to trial, and condemned. And thus, after all, the bright sun did bring
it to light. |
Über
lang, als sie schon zwei Kinder hatten, starben Schwiegervater und
Schwiegermutter, und die jungen Leute hatten den Haushalt allein.
Eines Morgens, wie der Mann auf dem Tisch vor dem Fenster saß,
brachte ihm die Frau den Kaffee, und als er ihn in die Unterschale
ausgegossen hatte und eben trinken wollte, da schien die Sonne darauf,
und der Widerschein blinkte oben an der Wand so hin und her und machte
Kringel daran. Da sah der Schneider hinauf und sprach 'ja, die wills
gern an den Tag bringen und kanns nicht!' Die Frau sprach 'ei, lieber
Mann, was ist denn das? was meinst du damit?' Er antwortete 'das darf
ich dir nicht sagen.' Sie aber sprach 'wenn du mich lieb hast, mußt
du mirs sagen,' und gab ihm die allerbesten Worte, es sollts kein
Mensch wieder erfahren, und ließ ihm keine Ruhe. Da erzählte
er, vor langen Jahren, wie er auf der Wanderschaft ganz abgerissen
und ohne Geld gewesen, habe er einen Juden erschlagen, und der Jude
habe in der letzten Todesangst die Worte gesprochen 'die klare Sonne
wirds an den Tag bringen!' Nun hätts die Sonne eben gern an den
Tag bringen wollen, und hätt an der Wand geblinkt und Kringel
gemacht, sie hätts aber nicht gekonnt. Danach bat er sie noch
besonders, sie dürfte es niemand sagen, sonst käm er um
sein Leben, das versprach sie auch. Als er sich aber zur Arbeit gesetzt
hatte, ging sie zu ihrer Gevatterin und vertraute ihr die Geschichte,
sie dürfte sie aber keinem Menschen wiedersagen; ehe aber drei
Tage vergingen, wußte es die ganze Stadt, und der Schneider
kam vor das Gericht und ward gerichtet. Da brachte es doch die klare
Sonne an den Tag. |
