故郷の泉の石は、見知らぬ土地の飲み水を清めてくれる
When you drink water in unknown land, the stone of the spring of a hometown cleans it.

戦争などで遠くに出かた先で水を飲むときは、その中に故郷の石を入れると水神が飲み水を清めてくれると言われました。水は山の神の乳汁であるというのもアイヌの考えで、人はそれを飲んで丈夫に育つとされます。もしも夜に水を汲むときには、水面を叩き水神を起こしました。そうして悪い者が水に忍びこむのを遠ざけたのです。
When coming out in the distance for their war, drinking food water and they put in the stone of a hometown into it, it was said that a water god purified drinking water. It is also Ainu's idea that water is a mountain god's milk. It is supposed that it is drunk and people are grown up in good health. When they drew water at night, they struck the water surface and woke up the water god. It is for keeping away that something bad steals into water.

神が天上から袋の口を開いて海に魚をばらまく
God opens a mouth in a bag from on heavens, and scatters a fish over the sea.

鮭、ししゃも、ニシンは神の魚と呼ばれていました。神が天の上から袋の口を開いて、ウロコを海にばらまき、それが新しい魚になると考えられていたのです。北海道では数十年前、海面の色が変わるぐらいたくさんのニシンが押し寄せた時代がありました。北海道の人々は大漁を喜びましたが、そのうちニシンを食糧にするにも余って肥料に使ったほどでした。ニシンは余ってくると、ぱたっとその姿を消しました。まさに空の上から神が見ているという気がします。
There was a time when a lot of herrings came, dozens of years ago in Hokkaido. It was as extensive as the color of a sea surface changed then. Although people of Hokkaido were pleased with the big haul, the herring remained and people used it for manure. When the herring remained, it disappeared entirely. I think that God is just looking from on empty by this.

夢を見るのは、神が思いを伝えようとしているから
The reason you look at a dream is for God to tell you the thought.

アイヌ民族にとって夢とは、神が自らの思いを人間に知らせるために見せるものだと考えられています。ですから、昔は朝起きると、「何か夢を見なかったか思い出すように」と言われたそうです。家を建てる時は夢の中で神のお告げを待って、そこが良い場所かどうかを伺いました。
It is thought that a dream is what is shown in order that God may tell man about its thought for an Ainu race. Therefore, if they got up in the morning a long time ago, their parent said, "Remember whether any dreams were seen." When building a house, they waited for the divine message of God in the dream, and that heard about whether it is a good place.

夏に小沢の沢底に水苔が発生すると、それは大洪水の前兆
When a moss occurs in a bottom of a small river which flows a mountain in summer, it is the sign of a massive flood.

あまり雨が降らないと、沢の水が温まり、そのために苔がたくさん発生します。アイヌの人々は、降らなかった分の雨が秋になると洪水になるかもしれないと注意し合ったのです。ほかにも洪水に関する知恵があります。「夜カッコウの声がすると洪水の前兆」「真冬に山の中の小さな川を歩いてみて、大人の握りこぶしみたいな氷がたくさんある年の夏は洪水がある」等々。
If it seldom rains, the water of a small river will get warm, therefore much moss will occur. Ainu race people were careful of each other to become a flood, when the rain of the part which did not come down became autumn. There is other wisdom about a flood. It is the sign of a flood when the voice of a cuckoo takes night. When you walk along the small river in a mountain in the midwinter, supposing there is much grown-up ice like a fist, there is a flood in the summer of the year.
