Gua di Bukit Treh (Cave at Bukit Treh)

Bersambung dari Makam ibu Si Tanggang? (Tomb of mother to Si Tanggang?).

Continued from Makam ibu Si Tanggang? (Tomb of mother to Si Tanggang?).

Kubur dan batu yang kita lihat tadi terletak kaki selatan Bukit Treh. Ke barat bukit terdapat tempat ini.

The grave and rock we saw previously is located at the foot south of Bukit (hill of) Treh. To the west of the hill there lies this place.

Ia adalah gua di kaki bukit. Suatu masa dahulu gua ini boleh dimasuki orang.

It is a cave at the foot hill. A long time ago the cave can be entered by people.

Menurut ceritanya dahulu orang boleh meminjam pinggan mangkuk dari gua ini.

According to the stories once upon a time people can borrow plates and bowls from the cave.

Katanya ada orang bunian duduk di situ meminjamkan pinggan mangkuk. Tetapi ada manusia yang tidak memulangkannya. Sejak itu tiada lagi barangan untuk dipinjam,

It is said that the bunian people (something like fairies) who lived there used to lend out the plates and bowls. But there were humans those who did not return it. Since then there is no more things to be lend out.

Bahagian dalam gua pula sudah tertimbus. Tinggal bukaan sempit seperti kelihatan...

The inner parts of the cave in turn has collapsed. What's left is a narrow opening as seen here...

Makam ibu Si Tanggang? (Tomb of mother to Si Tanggang?)

Bersambung dari Batu laut di Bukit Treh (Sea rock at Bukit Treh).

Continued from Batu laut di Bukit Treh (Sea rock at Bukit Treh).

Ke hadapan iaitu di kaki Bukit Treh pula terdapat tinggalan bersejarah ini.

In front that is at the foot of Bukit (hill of) Treh in turn lies this historical remain.

Ia dipercayai sesetengah penduduk tempatan sebagai kubur ibu Si Tanggang. Untuk pengetahuan Si Tanggang adalah satu watak legenda yang menurut ceritanya disumpah ibunya menjadi batu. Ini kerana beliau telah menderhaka apabila tidak mengakui seorang perempuan tua yang bertemunya adalah ibu kandung beliau.

This is believed by some of the local inhabitants as the grave of the mother of Si Tanggang. For information Si Tanggang is a legendary character which according to the story was cursed by his mother turning him into stone. This is because he was disloyal when he refused to acknowledge an old woman who came to meet him as his rightful biological mother.

Cerita lain pula menyebut yang dimakamkan ini adalah seorang puteri yang menjadi isteri kepada watak serupa Si Tanggang. Lihat artikel lama Makam seorang puteri di Bukit Treh? (Tomb of a princess at Bukit Treh?).

Another story in turn says that the one who got laid to rest here is a princess who became wife to a character similar to Si Tanggang. Look at the old article Makam seorang puteri di Bukit Treh? (Tomb of a princess at Bukit Treh?).

Ahad 2 Nov saya ke Muar lagi lalu singgah di Bukit Treh. Terlihat sejumlah objek bersejarah telah dipelihara cantik.. Antaranya adalah batu ini.

Sunday 2 Nov I went to Muar again and thus made a stop at Bukit (hill of) Treh. Could be seen a number of historical objects being nicely maintained. Among it is this rock.

Biasanya batu sebegini cuma boleh ditemui di tepian pantai. Sedangkan tempat ini terletak 6 km dari badan air masin terdekat iaitu Selat Melaka.

Normally rock such as this could only be found besides a beach. On the other hand this place is located 6 km from the closest body of salt water that is the Straits of Melaka.

Dipercayai suatu masa dahulu kawasan ini terletak di dalam laut. Batu ini boleh dijadikan bukti...

It is believed that once upon a time this place is located within the sea. This rock could be made a proof...
