Ukufa kukaBalder lelinye lawona mabali aziwayo kwaye abuhlungu kakhulu kwimbali yamandulo yaseNorse. Le ntsomi ibalisa ibali likaBalder, unyana wothixo u-Odin kunye nothixokazi uFrigg. U-Balder wayengunkulunkulu othandwa kakhulu ngabanye oothixo, kwaye wayebhekwa njengoyena mhle kakhulu, unomusa, nosisilumko phakathi kwabo.
Nangona kunjalo, ngenye imini umama wakhe waphupha i-premonitory apho wabona unyana wakhe ofileyo. UFrigg ke waya kuzo zonke iziqalelo zendalo ukubacela ukuba bangamlimazi unyana wakhe; phofu ke ulibele kukubuza moss lo nto. Oku kushiyiwa kuya kuba yingozi kuBalder.
Okwangoku, uLoki - uThixo weNkohliso - wafumanisa oku kushiywa kwaye wagqiba ekubeni asebenzise ukubulala uBalder. Wazenza ixhego elinguThokk waza wenza isifungo sobuxoki ethembisa ukuba akayi kukhalela ukufa kukaBalder ukuba wayenokufa. Beqinisekile ngesi sifungo sobuxoki, abanye oothixo bavumela ukuba kwenziwe isiko apho zonke izakhi kwakufuneka ziphose into ethile kuBalder ukubonisa ukungafi kwakhe; nangona kunjalo uLoki waphosa i-moss kuye, eyabangela ukufa kwakhe kwangoko.
Abanye oothixo baba buhlungu ngenxa yale ntlekele; kodwa uLoki wakwazi ukubaleka ngenxa yezakhono zakhe zokukhohlisa kunye nobuqili bobuqili. Ukufa kukaBalder kuthathwa njengophawu olubi lwekamva lomntu: kwanabo banezipho ezikhulu banokuba lixhoba lobuqhetseba kunye nokungcatshwa kwabantu.
Isishwankathelo
Ukufa kukaBalder ngenye yeziganeko ezibuhlungu kakhulu kwiintsomi zaseNorse. U-Balder wayengunyana wesithixo u-Odin kunye nothixokazi uFrigg, kwaye wayesaziwa njengoyena mhle kwaye unobubele kubo bonke oothixo. Wayethandwa kakhulu ngabanye kangangokuba uFrigg wenza isifungo kuzo zonke izinto ezidaliweyo ukuba angamenzakalisanga unyana wakhe.
Noko ke, uLoki, uThixo weNkohliso, wafumanisa ukuba isityalo esibizwa ngokuba yityhefu ivy sasingaqukwanga kwesi sifungo. Esebenzisa olu lwazi, uLoki waqinisekisa uHodur (umntakwabo ka-Balder oyimfama) ukuba adubule utolo olwenziwe nge-poison ivy e-Balder ngexesha lomdlalo phakathi koothixo. Utolo lwayihlaba intliziyo kaBalder lwaza lwambulala ngoko nangoko.
Ukufa kukaBalder kwabangela ukudabuka okukhulu phakathi kwabanye oothixo kunye nabantu abafayo. Abanye oothixo bazama ukuvuselela uBalder kodwa abazange baphumelele; ekugqibeleni kwafuneka bazinze ukuze bamngcwabe enqanaweni yomngcwabo kunye nezinto zakhe zasemhlabeni ngoxa bezilele ilahleko yakhe. Le ntlekele yaphawula ukuqala kweRagnarok (ukuphela kwehlabathi lamaNorse), apho abanye abantu abaninzi abakhulu babeza kufa ngaphambi kokuzalwa kwakhona kokugqibela kwehlabathi elitsha nelingenakufa.
Obona balinganiswa
Ukufa kukaBalder yenye yezona ziganeko zibuhlungu kunye nezishukumisayo kwiintsomi zaseNorse. Le ntlekele iphuhliswa kwi-XNUMX yenkulungwane ye-Scandinavia, iVoluspa, echaza indlela uBalder, unyana wothixo u-Odin kunye nesithixokazi uFrigg, abulawa ngayo ngumntakwabo uLoki.
U-Balder wayengomnye wezithixo ezithandwa kakhulu ngabantu kunye nabanye abantu bakaThixo. Wayegqalwa njengomntu ofezekileyo yaye wayedume ngobuhle, ububele nobukrelekrele bakhe. Umama wakhe uFrigg wayefungile kuzo zonke izinto zendalo ukuba angenzi nto kuye; kunjalo, Loki wafumanisa ukuba into kuphela akazange afunge esi sifungo mistletoe. Ke wasebenzisa esi sityalo ukwenza utolo lokubulala uBalder.
Emva kokufa kukaBalder, bonke oothixo balila ukulahlekelwa kwakhe kwaye banquma ukuzama ukumbuyisela ebomini. Bathumela uHermod kummandla waseHel (indawo apho imiphefumlo iya khona xa isifa) ukuba icele uHel ukuba abuyisele uBalder; nangona kunjalo, wayefuna izinto ezintathu kubo: okokuqala kwakufuneka bambonise indlela ababemthanda ngayo; okwesibini, kwakufuneka bamthembise ngokunikela amadini kwinkumbulo yakhe; Okwesithathu, kwakufuneka bafumane into enkulu njengehlabathi lonke ukuze bazilele ngokumka kwabo. Oothixo bazalisekisa le miqathango mithathu kwaye ekugqibeleni uHel wavuma ukuyibuyisela kodwa ngamaxesha onke phantsi komqathango wokuba akukho mntu unokuze amlimaze kwakhona. Ngaloo ndlela eli bali libuhlungu lachazwa kwiinguqulelo ezininzi zamva zeVoluspa.
Ibali elingemva kokufa kukaBalder liyimifuziselo kuba limele ilahleko engenakuphepheka yabantu enxulumene nezigqibo zethu ezingalunganga okanye iinjongo ezikhohlakeleyo ezibhekiselele kwezinye izidalwa eziphilayo; Ikwasikhumbuza indlela ekubaluleke ngayo ukuhlonela izithembiso zethu size sihlale sithembekile kwabo sibathandayo kwanangaphambi kokuphela kwehlabathi ngokungenakuphepheka.
oothixo abangenelelayo
Ukufa kukaBalder, uthixo waseNorse wothando nobuhle, sesinye seziganeko ezibuhlungu kakhulu kwiintsomi zaseNorse. Ngokutsho kwentsomi, uBalder wayengunyana woothixo u-Odin kunye nomfazi wakhe wokuqala uFrigg. Wayegqalwa njengoyena thixo umhle nonobubele phakathi koothixo baseAsgardian. Udadewabo uHoder naye wayengumntu obalulekileyo e-Asgard.
Le ntlekele yaqala xa uFrigg wayenephupha lokufa konyana wakhe. Wakhawuleza ukucela zonke izinto zendalo ukuba zifunge ukuba zingalimazi i-Balder, kodwa ukhohlwe ukubuza okufanayo kumdala, i-shrub engcwele ekhula kumazwe aseNordic. Oku kushiyiwa kuya kuba yingozi kuBalder.
Kamva, ngexesha lesidlo sase-Asgard, uLoki (uThixo wobubi) wafunda ukuba akukho nto inokulimaza uBalder kwaye wagqiba ekubeni asebenzise olu lwazi ngenzuzo yakhe embi. Waqinisekisa umntakwabo kaBalder ogama linguHoder ukuba aphonsa i-dart eyenziwe ngamagatsha ama-elderberry angcwele kuye ngexesha lomdlalo phakathi koothixo base-Asgardian. I-dart yahamba ngomzimba kaBalder ngaphandle kokumenza yingozi ngenxa yokuba zonke izinto zendalo zazifungile ukuba zingamlimazi; nangona kunjalo, uLoki wayefezekise injongo yakhe embi: ukubulala uBalder usebenzisa into enye uFrigg wayelibele ukuyikhusela: umdala ongcwele.
Emva kwale ntlekele ingalindelekanga kwaye engaqondakaliyo kubantu abaninzi base-Asgard (kubandakanywa no-Odin), wonke umntu wakhala kakhulu ngokulahlekelwa yinkosana yobuthixo enobubele kunye nobubele ogama linguBalder. Umngcwabo wawuququzelelwa nguFrigg ngoncedo lukaThor (uThixo weendudumo). Usizi lwalukhulu kangangokuba kwanamatye amkhalela ngaphambi kokuba angcwatywe kunye naye njengophawu olungunaphakade lwenkumbulo yakhe engafiyo ngonaphakade e-Asgard nakumazwe ajikelezileyo.
Imixholo ephambili igutyungelwe
Ukufa kukaBalder yenye yezona ziganeko zibuhlungu kunye nezishukumisayo kwiintsomi zaseNorse. Kuthiwa uBalder, unyana woothixo u-Odin kunye nothixokazi uFrigg, wayengoyena uthandekayo oothixo. Wayegqalwa njengoyena mphumi-mkhosi ubalaseleyo, oyena ulumkileyo noyena mhle phakathi kwabo.
Nangona kunjalo, ikamva lakhe laphawulwa ngaphambi kokuba azalwe. Ngokutsho kwesiprofeto, uBalder wayeza kufa ezandleni zomzalwana okanye isihlobo esisondeleyo. Esi siprofeto sazaliseka xa uLoki, uThixo wobuqhetseba nobuqhophololo, waphembelela uHodr ukuba ajule entliziyweni kathixo omncinci umkhonto owenziwe ngamagatsha emithi enetyhefu. Umkhonto wadlula emzimbeni wakhe ngaphandle kokuchasana kwaye uBalder wafela ezingalweni zikanina uFrigg owayekhala ngokungenasiphelo ngenxa yokulahlekelwa ngunyana wakhe oyintanda.
Abanye oothixo bahlanganisene ukuze bahloniphe uBalder ngokumthumela eValhalla apho wayeza kuhlala khona ngonaphakade njengeqhawe elingenakufa kwiimbali zeNordic. Umngcwabo wawumkhulu kangangokuba zonke izinto zendalo zamkhalela: iintaba zangcangcazela, imilambo yoma, kwaneenkwenkwezi zaba mnyama okwethutyana ukuze zihlale zimkhumbula ngentlonipho nokuncoma.
Le ntlekele ayizange iphele njengoko uLoki wajeziswa ngenxa yezenzo zakhe ngokubotshwa ngaphakathi kwehlabathi elingaphantsi komhlaba apho wayeza kuchitha ixesha elide ehlukunyezwa ngezenzo zakhe ngaphandle kokukwazi ukusinda. Eli bali lisikhumbuza ukuba kukho imiphumo emibi xa siphambuka kwindlela efanelekileyo kwaye sizame ukukhohlisa abo basingqongileyo ngaphandle kokucinga ngemiphumo yokugqibela yezenzo zethu ezikhohlakeleyo kunye nokungakhathali.
