トヨタマヒメは、なぜ海うみに帰かえりましたか。

Why did Toyotamahime return to the sea?

水みずをくみに来きた従者じゅうしゃがホオリを見みつけ、その話はなしを聞きいた、ワタツミの娘むすめのトヨタマヒメが会あいに来きて、二人ふたりは結婚けっこんしました。

A servant who came to draw water found Hoori; Toyotamahime, Watatsumi’s daughter, heard about it and came to meet him, and the two were married.

その後そのご、トヨタマヒメは、子こを生うむために、地上ちじょうに来きて、鵜うの羽はねで小屋こやの屋根やねをふいていましたが、ふき終おわる前まえに、子こが生うまれそうになりました。

After that, Toyotamahime came to the land to give birth. She was roofing a hut with cormorant feathers, but before the roof was finished, the baby was about to be born.
