Digo ro/ rojekê di gundekê da melleyek hebû, keçeke wî bi tenê, yek keça xwe hebû. |
|
It’s been said that one day in a village, there was a mele [an usher in the mosque] and he had only one daughter. |
| 2 |
Keça xwe ra digo, “Heger yekî fuqare werê cem te malê, tu/ tu cilê xwa tișekî pê di kî, kerase xwe pê de kî, Xwedê rojê qeyametê wê deh kerasa te dê.” |
|
He used to say to his daughter: “if a poor man came to you at home and you put your clothes or something on him, put your dress on him, God, on judgment day, will give you ten dresses. |
| 3 |
Keça melle jî ew kir/ ew kir serê xwa da. |
|
The usher’s daughter put the idea into her head. |
| 4 |
Go rojekê mele ne li malê bû, yekî feqîr hat, li deriyê mal xist, keça wî vekir. |
|
One day, when the usher was not at home, a poor person came and knocked on the door of the house. His daughter opened it. |
| 5 |
Go wele xêra xwe belkî tiștekî min din. |
|
He said it would be good of you to give me something. |
| 6 |
Keçkê der dor xwa mal va nêrî, dî ewê cilî bavê xwa, mal ra daliqtî ye rakir û daye eyî fuqare. Eyî fuqare çû, wela mele hat. |
|
The girl looked around the house, she saw her father’s clothes hanging; she took them and gave them to the poor man. The poor man went away, the usher came back. |
| 7 |
Wê çaẋê Remezan bû, cejnê Remezanê hat, mele ji keça xwe ra go: “Ka ew cilî min-î nû, mi kiriye ji bo cejnê ez xwa/ li xwa kim wana.” |
|
It was Ramadan, the feast of Ramadan had arrived, and the usher asked his daughter: “where are my new clothes that I bought to wear for the feast.” |
| 8 |
Go, “wele bavo ne te ji mi ra go, gerek tu cilekî tiștekî bidî yekî fuqare, Xwedê ro/ Xwedê ro/ Xwedê rojê qiyametê wê deh qata wê te dî.” |
|
She said: “didn’t you tell me that you should give a garment or something to a poor man so that God will give you back tenfold on judgment day.” |
| 9 |
Go erê, go welayî mi-jî ew cilê te mi da eyê fuqare.” |
|
He said: “yes”, she said: “So I gave your clothes to a poor man.” |
| 10 |
Go, hașa: “Ey keça kûçika, ewa mi go ji bo xelkê, ne ji bo mela!” |
|
He said: “Oh, you bitch of a daughter, I said that for other people not for ushers!” |
