Story Transcript:
Id: Suara gemerisik hujan membasahi atap-atap rumah di desa kecil di Ubud, Bali.
En: The sound of raindrops pattered on the roofs of houses in a small village in Ubud, Bali.
Id: Desa ini dikelilingi oleh sawah yang menghijau dan pohon kelapa yang melambai lembut tertiup angin.
En: This village is surrounded by lush green rice fields and coconut trees gently swaying in the wind.
Id: Dekat dengan salah satu sawah, seorang pemuda bernama Ade tengah sibuk mempersiapkan lahan untuk panen padi yang sebentar lagi tiba.
En: Near one of the rice fields, a young man named Ade was busy preparing the land for the upcoming rice harvest.
Id: Ade sangat mencintai tradisi pertanian yang diwariskan oleh leluhur, dan ia ingin membuktikan bahwa metode tradisional masih sanggup memenuhi kebutuhan desa.
En: Ade loved the agricultural traditions passed down by his ancestors and wanted to prove that traditional methods could still meet the village's needs.
Id: Namun, musim hujan kali ini datang lebih awal dan lebih lebat dari biasanya.
En: However, this rainy season had arrived earlier and heavier than usual.
Id: Beberapa penduduk desa khawatir bahwa air akan menggenangi sawah, merusak hasil panen yang telah mereka tunggu-tunggu.
En: Some villagers were worried that the water would flood the fields, ruining the much-anticipated harvest.
Id: Di antara mereka, terdapat Budi, kakek Ade, yang dikenal bijaksana dan dihormati karena pengetahuannya tentang pemeliharaan padi.
En: Among them was Budi, Ade's grandfather, who was known for his wisdom and respected for his knowledge of rice cultivation.
Id: "Mungkin saatnya kita mencoba mesin pompa untuk membantu mengalirkan air," saran Budi saat mereka berkumpul di bale desa.
En: "Perhaps it's time we try using a pump to help drain the water," suggested Budi as they gathered in the village hall.
Id: Ade menanggapi dengan senyum sabar.
En: Ade responded with a patient smile.
Id: "Kakek, mari kita coba dulu cara yang pernah Kakek ajarkan.
En: "Grandfather, let's first try the method you once taught me.
Id: Bukankah kita memiliki metode irigasi tradisional yang bisa membantu kita?" Ade mengusulkan dengan penuh harap.
En: Don't we have a traditional irrigation method that can help us?" Ade proposed hopefully.
Id: Putri, adik Ade, yang menyaksikan percakapan itu, mendukung ide kakaknya.
En: Putri, Ade's younger sister, who was watching the conversation, supported her brother's idea.
Id: Meskipun dia bersekolah di kota dan belajar banyak hal modern, dia menghargai nilai tradisi yang dipegang teguh oleh keluarganya.
En: Although she studied in the city and learned many modern things, she valued the traditions held dear by her family.
Id: Hari terus berlalu seiring dengan derasnya hujan.
En: As the days passed with the rain pouring down, as Galungan approached, the water in the fields began to rise.
Id: Ketika Galungan semakin dekat, air di sawah mulai naik.
En: Ade led the village farmers to dig small ditches that would channel the water to a nearby river.
Id: "Kita harus bekerja bersama agar air ini tidak merusak padi kita," teriaknya membangkitkan semangat para petani.
En: "We must work together so that this water does not destroy our rice," he shouted, inspiring the farmers.
Id: Namun, saat pagi Galungan tiba, hujan turun dengan lebat sekali.
En: However, on the morning of Galungan, the rain poured down heavily.
Id: Seluruh desa berlarian menuju sawah yang hampir tenggelam.
En: The entire village rushed to the fields that were almost submerged.
Id: Ini adalah ujian bagi Ade dan metode tradisionalnya.
En: This was a test for Ade and his traditional methods.
Id: Para penduduk desa bergotong-royong mengalihkan air, memadukan parit tradisional Ade dengan mesin pompa sederhana yang dibawa atas saran Budi.
En: The villagers worked together to divert the water, combining Ade's traditional ditches with a simple pump machine brought on Budi's suggestion.
Id: Dalam tekanan waktu, keduanya berhasil menjaga sawah tetap aman.
En: Under time pressure, they managed to keep the fields safe.
Id: Desa mengadakan perayaan Galungan dengan gembira.
En: The village held the Galungan celebration with joy.
Id: Ade melihat hasil panen yang melimpah, merasa puas bahwa usahanya tidak sia-sia.
En: Ade saw the abundant harvest, feeling satisfied that his efforts were not in vain.
Id: Dia menyadari bahwa sementara tradisi adalah bagian penting dari identitas mereka, inovasi juga bisa memberikan solusi bagi masalah yang mereka hadapi.
En: He realized that while tradition is an important part of their identity, innovation can also provide solutions to the problems they face.
Id: Budi menepuk pundaknya dengan bangga.
En: Budi patted his shoulder proudly.
Id: "Gabungan antara cara lama dan baru ini memang kuat," ujar Budi.
En: "The combination of old and new ways is indeed strong," said Budi.
Id: "Kita belajar untuk tidak takut pada perubahan."
En: "We've learned not to fear change."
Id: Ade mengangguk, kini mengerti pentingnya keseimbangan antara melestarikan tradisi dan menerima inovasi.
En: Ade nodded, now understanding the importance of balancing tradition preservation and embracing innovation.
Id: Bersama-sama, mereka merayakan Galungan dengan penuh rasa syukur dan harapan baru bagi masa depan desa.
En: Together, they celebrated Galungan with gratitude and new hope for the village's future.
