Here is the story of the battle between the shamans of Kittilä and Inari over reindeer. Here, they are mainly called Torajainen and Inarainen. However, there are also versions in which the shaman of Kittilä is called Kitka or Päiviö, and the shaman of Inari is called Tierna. "Päiviö" is a shaman of Kittilä from folklore who is said to have converted to Christianity. In one version, the shaman of Kittilä is Kontin Hannu, a real historical figure from not as long ago. There are also versions in which it is the shaman of Kittilä who is stealing reindeer from Inari. The explanation in parathesis was written by me. Do not be confused that Torajainen is suddenly called Päiviö: I did not wish to edit the original manuscripts too much.
Also "crops" here refers to "reindeer herd", just like it can also mean animals available to be hunted, etcetera.
  Torajaisen autio on Taulovaaran juurella väylän rannassa. Se on ollu Torajainen kastamaton lappalainen. Siinä ollut vielä kauvan Torajaisen koan sijat. Inarissa oli toinen noita Inarainen. Ne olivat riijassa keskenään. Inarilainen oli laulanut sinne kaikki porot Kittilästä. Torajainen sanoi: Inarainen, reimasääri Viepi viljan meijän maasta Viepi viljan Inarinmaahan Sinne tänne Sirkankylään (Torajainen alkoi laulamaan poroja takaisin Kittilään.) Inarin noita lauloi: Torajainen kuulu noita Kiskoo, kiskoo kittiläinen Inarin härkää reinajalkaa Poroin palatessa kuului jo: Kynnen kitke, sarven kaiske aina Ruomanseljästä asti ja tulivat joen yli Leivitunturin kohdalla; viimeisenä oli valkea vaadin, jonka Päiviö arvasi olevan Inarin noidan, joka siksi oli itsensä muuttanut ja teki tappelun ja pakoitti Inarin noidan sovinnossa poroja jakamaan: Kitka, Kitka Kittilästä Vääräsäären väkivalta Sotahan nyt haastoi Ilman armoa anelematta Ilman rauhaa rakentamatta Voimat tuon tullessani Sanat mahtavat majoista Hiiten hiilusten pohjukasta Tuonenjoen rantamalta Ja niin siinä tehtiin sovinto, ettei kaikkia saa viijä, pitää viljaa olla molemmin puolin. | Torajainen's plain is at the root of the Taulovaara hill at the bank of a river. Torajainen had been an unbaptized Sámi. For a long time, the spot of Torajainen's goahti had stood there. In Inari, there was another shaman: Inarainen. The two were fighting with each other. Inarainen had sung all of the reindeer of Kittilä into Inari. Torajainen said: Inarainen, brisk thigh Takes crops from our land Takes crops to the land of Inari Here, there, to Sirkankylä village (Torajainen began to sing reindeer back to Kittilä). The shaman of Inari sang: Torajainen, famous shaman Pulls, pulls, that one from Kittilä The brisk(?) legged ox of Inari As the reindeer returned, one could hear: Creaking of hooves, clanking of horns all the way from Ruomanselkä and they crossed the river at Leivitunturi fell; the last one was a white doe, which Päiviö knew was the shaman of Inari who had transformed himself, and he started a fight and forced the shaman of Inari to share the reindeer in agreement: Kitka, Kitka from Kittilä Violence of the bowleg Challenged (him) to war now Without begging for mercy Without building peace I bring my powers with me as I come Mighty words from cabins From the bottom of the ember piles of Hiisi From the bank of the river of Tuoni And there they agreed that one could not take all of the reindeer, for there had to be some on both sides. |
