R/Loro Jonggrang [Indonesian Version]

Jaman dahulu kala, ada sebuah kerajaan bernama Prambanan. Semua orang Prambanan hidup dengan damai. Tapi, Kerajaan Prambanan diserang dan diduduki oleh Kerajaan Pengging. Prambanan kemudian diperintah oleh Bandung Bondowoso dari Kerajaan Pengging. Dia adalah raja yang licik. Dia juga memiliki kekuatan gaib yang hebat. Pasukannya tidak hanya manusia, tetapi juga jin .

Raja Prambanan memiliki seorang putri cantik bernama Loro Jonggrang. Bandung Bondowoso pun jatuh cinta padanya dan ingin menikahinya. "Kau sangat cantik. Apakah kau mau menjadi ratu ku?" tanya Bandung Bondowoso. Loro Jonggrang terkejut. Dia tidak menyukai Bandung Bondowoso karena dia orang yang licik. Dia ingin menolaknya, tapi ia takut jika Bandung Bondowoso akan marah dan membahayakan penduduk Prambanan. Tapi, Loro Jonggrang memiliki sebuah rencana. "Jika kau ingin menikah dengan ku, kau harus membangun seribu candi untuk ku dalam waktu satu malam," kata Loro Jonggrang. "Apa? Itu tidak mungkin!" kata Bandung Bondowoso. Tapi ia tidak menyerah. Lalu ia meminta pendapat penasihatnya. "Yang Mulia bisa meminta para jin untuk membantu membangun candi" kata penasehatnya.

Lalu, Bandung Bondowoso memanggil prajurit seluruh pasukan jin dan memerintahkan mereka untuk membantunya membangun seribu candi. Para jin bekerja dengan kecepatan yang luar biasa. Sementara itu, Loro Jonggrang mendengar dari pelayannya bahwa pembangunan seribu candi itu hampir selesai. Dia sangat khawatir. Tetapi sekali lagi, dia mendapat ide bagus. Dia meminta semua pelayannya untuk membantunya. "Tolong siapkan jerami-jerami dan lesung. Tolong lebih cepat!" kata Loro Jonggrang. “Bakar jerami dan buat suara tumbukan dari lesung, cepat." Semua pelayan itu melakukan apa yang Loro Jonggrang minta pada mereka, yaitu membakar jerami dan menumbuk lesung, membuat jin berpikir bahwa matahari akan terbit.

"Hari sudah fajar. Kami harus pergi," kata pemimpin jin ke Bandung Bondowoso. Semua jin segera menghentikan pekerjaan mereka untuk menghindari datangnya matahari. Mereka tidak tahu bahwa terang itu berasal dari api yang membakar jerami, bukan dari matahari.

Bandung Bondowoso tidak dapat menghentikan para jin. Dia pun marah. Dia tahu bahwa Loro Jonggrang baru saja menipunya. "Kau tidak bisa menipu ku, Loro Jonggrang. Aku sudah memiliki 999 candi. Aku hanya perlu satu candi lagi. Sekarang, aku akan membuat mu menjadi candi yang ke-seribu." Ia menunjukan jarinya ke Loro Jonggrang dan mengatakan beberapa mantra. Secara ajaib, tubuh Loro Jonggrang berubah menjadi batu. Sampai saat ini, batu itu masih berdiri di wilayah Prambanan, Jawa Tengah. Batu itu disebut Candi Loro Jonggrang.

R/Loro Jonggrang [English Version]

Long time ago, there was a kingdom named Prambanan. All the people of Prambanan lived peacefully. But then, Prambanan kingdom was attacked and occupied by the Pengging kingdom. Prambanan then was ruled by Bandung Bondowoso of Pengging kingdom. He was a mean king. He also had great supernatural power. His soldiers were not only humans, but also genies.

The king of Prambanan had a beautiful daughter named Loro Jonggrang. Bandung Bondowoso fell in love with her and wanted to marry her. “You’re very beautiful. Would you be my queen?” asked Bandung Bondowoso. Loro Jonggrang was shocked. She didn’t like Bandung Bondowoso because he was a mean person. She wanted to refuse, but she was afraid that Bandung Bondowoso would be angry and endangered the people of Prambanan. Then, she came up with a plan. “If you want to marry me, you have to build a thousand temples for me in just one night,” said Loro Jonggrang. “What? That’s impossible!” said Bandung Bondowoso. But he did not give up. He consulted with his advisor. “Your Majesty can asked the genies to help built the temples,” said the advisor.

So, Bandung Bondowoso summoned his entire genies soldier and commanded them to help him built a thousand temples. The genies worked in unbelievable speed. Meanwhile, Loro Jonggrang heard from her servant that a thousand temples were almost finished. She was very worried. But again, she came up with a great idea. She asked all of her servants to help her. “Please prepare a lot of straw and mortar. Please hurry up!” said Loro Jonggrang. “Burn the straw and make some noise pounding the mortar, quickly.” All those servants did what Loro Jonggrang ordered them; burning straw and pounding the mortar, making the genies think that the sun is going to rise.

“It’s already dawn. We have to go,” said the leader of the genies to Bandung Bondowoso. All the genies immediately stopped their work to avoid sunshine. They didn’t know that the light was from the fire that burning the straw, not from the sun.

Bandung Bondowoso can’t stop the genies from leaving. He was angry. He knew Loro Jonggrang had just tricked him. “You cannot fool me, Loro Jonggrang. I already have 999 temples. I just need one more temple. Now, I will make you the one-thousandth temple.” He pointed his finger to Loro Jonggrang and said some mantras. Magically, Loro Jonggrang’s body turned into stone. Until now, the stone is still standing in Prambanan area, Central Java. The stone itself is called Loro Jonggrang temple.
