Translation. 



Snx had four daughters. The Raven -went. (He transformed himself 

 into a) spike, -which dropped into the -water, (from which) the eldest 

 daughter of Snx used to fetch -water. She drank the -water and swallowed 

 the spike. She became pregnant and after four days she gave birth to the 

 young Raven. The little Raven -wished for the box in -which they kept 

 the daylight. [It -was dark in the past. There -was no stin and it grew 

 daylight when the Raven went up. He wanted to have everything in 

 the past.] He wished to play with the little box of the father. Then Snx 

 said to his child : "He wishes to play with the box." (She gave it to 

 him) and he played with the box. Then the Raven stopped crying and 

 played with the box. (He finally took it out of the house and broke the 

 box. Thus the sun was liberated.)
