Nokho, ngolunye usuku unina waba nephupho lokuqala lapho abona khona indodana yakhe efile. UFrigg wabe eseya kuzo zonke izakhi zemvelo ukubacela ukuba bangalimazi indodana yakhe; nokho ukhohlwe ukubuza moss okufanayo. Lokhu kushiywa kuzofakazela ukufa ku-Balder.
Ngaleso sikhathi, uLoki - uNkulunkulu Wokukhohlisa - wathola lokhu kushiywa futhi wanquma ukukusebenzisa ukubulala u-Balder.

Ukufa kukaBalder kuthathwa njengophawu oludabukisayo lokudalelwa komuntu: ngisho nalabo abanezipho ezinkulu bangaba izisulu zokukhohlisa nokukhashelwa kwabantu okubi.
Isifingqo
Ukufa kukaBalder kungenye yezenzakalo ezimbi kakhulu emlandweni wamaNorse. U-Balder wayeyindodana kankulunkulu u-Odin nonkulunkulukazi uFrigg, futhi wayaziwa njengomuhle nonomusa kunabo bonke onkulunkulu. Wayethandwa kakhulu abanye kangangokuthi uFrigg wafunga kuzo zonke izinto ezidaliwe ukuthi angayilimazi indodana yakhe.
Nokho, uLoki, uNkulunkulu Wokukhohlisa, wathola ukuthi isitshalo esibizwa ngokuthi i-poison ivy sasikhishiwe esifungweni. Esebenzisa lolu lwazi, u-Loki waqinisekisa uHodur (umfowabo ka-Balder oyimpumputhe) ukuthi adubule umcibisholo owenziwe nge-poison ivy e-Balder phakathi nomdlalo phakathi konkulunkulu. Umcibisholo wabhoboza inhliziyo kaBalder wambulala ngaso leso sikhathi.
Ukufa kukaBalder kwabangela ukudabuka okukhulu phakathi kwabanye onkulunkulu nabantu abafayo ngokufanayo.

U-Balder wayengomunye wonkulunkulu abathandwa kakhulu abantu nezinye izidalwa zaphezulu. Wayebhekwa njengomuntu ophelele futhi edume ngobuhle bakhe, umusa nobuhlakani bakhe. Unina uFrigg wayefungile kuzo zonke izakhi zemvelo ukuthi zingamenzi lutho; Nokho, uLoki wathola ukuthi okuwukuphela kwento ayengazange afunge ngayo lesi sifungo kwakuyi-mistletoe. Ngakho wasebenzisa lesi sitshalo ukwakha umcibisholo azobulala ngawo uBalder.
Ngemva kokufa kukaBalder, bonke onkulunkulu balilela ukulahlekelwa kwakhe futhi banquma ukuzama ukumbuyisela ekuphileni. Bathumela uHermodi endaweni yaseHel (indawo lapho imiphefumulo iya khona lapho ifa) ukuba icele uHel ukuba abuyisele uBalder; nokho, wafuna izinto ezintathu kubo: okokuqala kwakufanele bambonise ukuthi babemthanda kangakanani; okwesibili, kwakudingeka bathembise ukunikela imihlatshelo enkumbulweni yakhe; Okwesithathu, kwadingeka bathole into enkulu njengomhlaba wonke ukuze bakhalele ukuhamba kwabo.

onkulunkulu abangenelelayo
Ukufa kukaBalder, unkulunkulu wamaNorse wothando nobuhle, kungenye yezenzakalo ezidabukisayo kakhulu emlandweni wamaNorse. Ngokusho kwenganekwane, uBalder wayeyindodana kankulunkulu u-Odin nomkakhe wokuqala uFrigg. Wayebhekwa njengonkulunkulu omuhle kakhulu futhi onomusa phakathi konkulunkulu base-Asgardian. Udadewabo uHoder naye ubengumuntu obalulekile e-Asgard.
Inhlekelele yaqala lapho uFrigg eba nephupho lokuqala ngokufa kwendodana yakhe. Washesha ukucela zonke izakhi zemvelo ukuba afunge ukuthi akulimazi Balder, kodwa ukhohlwe ukubuza okufanayo umdala, isihlahla esingcwele esimila emazweni Nordic. Lokhu kushiywa kuzofakazela ukufa ku-Balder.
Kamuva, phakathi nedili e-Asgard, uLoki (uNkulunkulu Wobubi) wafunda ukuthi akukho lutho olungalimaza uBalder futhi wanquma ukusebenzisa lolu lwazi ukuze azuze okubi. Waqinisekisa usingayise kaBalder ogama lakhe linguHoder ukuba aphonse umcibisholo owenziwe ngamagatsha ama-elderberry angcwele kuye phakathi nomdlalo phakathi konkulunkulu base-Asgardian. Umcibisholo wadabula umzimba kaBalder ngaphandle kokumlimaza ngoba zonke izakhi zemvelo zazifungile ukuthi zingamlimazi; Nokho, uLoki wayefinyelele umgomo wakhe omubi: ukubulala uBalder esebenzisa into eyodwa uFrigg ayekhohliwe ukuyivikela: umdala ongcwele.
Ngemva kwale nhlekelele eyayingalindelekile nengachazeki kubantu abaningi base-Asgard (kuhlanganise no-Odin), wonke umuntu wakhala ngokujulile ngokulahlekelwa inkosana yaphezulu enomusa nenomusa okuthiwa uBalder. Imingcwabo yayihlelwe nguFrigg ngosizo lukaThor (uNkulunkulu wokuduma kwezulu). Ukudabuka kwakukhulu kangangokuthi ngisho namadwala amkhalela ngaphambi kokuba angcwatshwe kanye naye njengophawu lwaphakade lwenkumbulo yakhe engafi phakade e-Asgard nasemazweni azungezile.
Izihloko eziyinhloko ezihlanganisiwe
Ukufa kukaBalder kungenye yezenzakalo ezidabukisayo nezishukumisayo emlandweni wamaNorse. Kuthiwa uBalder, indodana kankulunkulu u-Odin nonkulunkulukazi uFrigg, wayethandwa kakhulu konkulunkulu. Wayebhekwa njengeqhawe elingcono kakhulu, elihlakaniphe kakhulu futhi elihle kunawo wonke phakathi kwabo.
Nokho, isiphetho sakhe saphawulwa ngaphambi kokuba azalwe. Ngokusho kwesiprofetho, u-Balder uzofa ezandleni zomzalwane noma isihlobo esiseduze. Lesi siprofetho sagcwaliseka lapho uLoki, uNkulunkulu wenkohliso nobuqili, enxenxa uHodr ukuba aphonse umkhonto owenziwe ngamagatsha esihlahla esinobuthi enhliziyweni kankulunkulu omncane. Umkhonto wadlula emzimbeni wakhe ngaphandle kokuphikiswa futhi uBalder washonela ezingalweni zikanina uFrigg owayekhala ngokungaduduzi ngokulahlekelwa indodana yakhe ayithandayo.
Abanye onkulunkulu babuthana ukuze bahloniphe uBalder ngokumthumela eValhalla lapho ayezohlala khona phakade njengeqhawe elingafi ezindabeni zeNordic. Umngcwabo wawumkhulu kangangokuthi zonke izakhi zemvelo zamkhalela: izintaba zazamazama, imifula yoma, ngisho nezinkanyezi zaba mnyama okwesikhashana ukuze zihlale zimkhumbula ngenhlonipho nokuncoma.
Le nhlekelele ayizange iphele lapho njengoba uLoki ejeziswa ngenxa yezenzo zakhe ngokuboshwa ngamaketanga endaweni engaphansi kakhulu lapho ayezochitha khona ehlushwa phakade ngezenzo zakhe ngaphandle kokukwazi ukuphunyuka.
