2Today is Emancipation Day in many West Indian territories - the day that effectively celebrates the end of slavery, when all slaves were legally declared free.Androany no Androm-panafahana any amin'ny firenena Indiana andrefana ( tsy karana) - andro nanambarana ny fiafaran'ny fanandevozana, rehefa afaka araka ny lalàna ny andevo rehetra.
3One hundred and seventy odd years later, a few Caribbean bloggers pay tribute to their forefathers, whose sacrifice has earned them their freedom today…170 taona aty aoriana, vitsy ireo mpamaham-bolongana Karaibeana mba mahatsiaro ireo razambeny izay nanao tsy ho zavatra ny ainy hananan'ny ankehitriny ny fahafahana…
4Montego Bay Day By Day quotes an excerpt from The Road to Freedom by Tanesha Ramdanie, which describes the reaction to the historical pronouncement:Montego Bay Day By Day dia naka sombin-dahatsoratra avy amin'ny The Road to Freedom na lalam-pahafahana nosoratan'i Tanesha Ramdanie, izay mamariparitra ny fihetsika mamaly ny filazana ara-tantara:
5Tears of joy flowed incessantly, while shouts of freedom rang from the mountain tops and the plains, from the men, women and children, who had learnt that they were finally free of the oppressive social and economic system in which they were treated as less than human.Tsy mitsaha-mirotsaka ny ranomasom-pifaliana, raha manakoako avy any antendrombohitra sy andohasaha ny hiakam-pahafahana nataon'ny lehilahy sy ny zaza amam-behivavy, izay nandre fa afaka amin'ny tsindrim-piarahamonina sy toe-karena nametraka azy ho ambany noho ny olombelona ihany izy ireo.
6…while Gallimaufry quotes a popular Barbadian folk song which, when in 1838 the system of apprenticeship was abolished and true freedom finally took hold, inspired thousands of former slaves to take to the streets singing its refrain:…raha naka ampaham-kira malaza Baribady izay nanainga ireo andevo afaka an'arivony hihira an-dalambe hihira ny isan'andininy rehefa nandre ny fanafoanana ny rafi-mpanompoana ka mametraka amin'izay ny tena fahafahana tamin'izany taona 1838 izany i Gallimaufry :
7Lick and lock-up done wid, Hurrah for Jin-Jin! Lick and lock-up done wid, Hurrah for Jin-Jin!Nihidy anaty lalina no afaka nahazo ny nalalaka, mihoraha ho an'i Jin-Jin Nihidy anaty lalina no afaka nahazo ny nalalaka, mihoraha ho an'i Jin-Jin
8God bless de Queen fuh set we free Hurrah for Jin-Jin! Now lick and lock-up done wid, Hurrah for Jin-Jin!Tsitoha hitahy ny mpanjaka nandefa antsika ho afaka, mihoraha ho an'i Jin-Jin Nihidy anaty lalina no afaka nahazo ny malalaka, mihoraha ho an'i Jin-Jin
9“Jin-Jin” refers to Queen Victoria and the words of that song are engraved on the side of the Emancipation Statue in honour of Bussa - a slave who led the longest revolt against plantation owners in Barbados and who died a hero in battle.“Jin-Jin” dia milaza ny Mpanjakavavy Victoria ary io tononkira io dia voasokitra ao ambadiky ny sarivongan'ny fanafahana ho fahatsiarovana an'i Bussa - andevo nitarika ny fikomiana tamin'ny tompon'ny sahabe naharitra indrindra tany Baribada ary maty mahery fo nandritra ny ady iray.
10Another Barbadian blogger, Dennis Jones, describes the flurry of activity in Bridgetown in anticipation of the event:Mpamaham-bolongana Baribady hafa, Dennis Jones, no mitantara ny fisesisesin'ny asa any Bridgetown ho fiomanana amin'ny fety:
11The Esplanade was already set up and decked ready for celebrations later in the day.Efa vonona handray ny fihetsiketsehana ny tokotany malalaka.
12Amongst those already milling around for these, I saw many Rastas, or at least people with dreadlocks and tied heads; they were equally numbered with people who were dressed in west African style clothes.Amin'ireo olona efa mifofotra dia mahita Rastas vitsivitsy aho na olona mirandrana miakanjo dreadlocks sy manao fehiloha; anisan'ireo olona manao ny fomba fiakanjo Afirikana tandrefana koa izy ireo.
13Each group was outnumbered by vendors at this early stage, as they set up and started cooking: the smell of the fish fritters was really hard to resist…Fa voasokeran'ny mpivarotra mialoha avokoa ny tarika tsirairay, efa nivondrona koa ireo arynanomboka nahandro hanina: sarotra ny tsy hihinana vao maheno ny fofon'ny endi-trondro…
14But he adds:Saingy nampiany hoe:
15I'll be very surprised if I hear many words about emancipation during the day, except during the radio or TV broadcasts related to the day's celebrations, and that strikes me as sad.Dia ho gaga ho raha mandre ny teny hoe fanafahana nandritra ny tontolo andro, ankoatra izay any amin'ny adio sy ny televiziona milaza ny momba azy, ary mampalahelo ahy izay toe-javatra izay.
16For most of us there is nothing august about this day-nothing majestic, dignified, or grand. It is very ordinary.Amin'ny ankamaroanay dia tsy mihiratra loatra ity andro ity, tsy manana ny fahamendrehany na mahagoavana azy.
17Maybe freedom has made us all complacent about what bondage really represented.Angamba efa zatra ny fahafahana izahay ka tsy mahalala ny vesatry ny fanompoana.
18Many black people only focus on the slave heritage imposed on their ancestors by Europeans and so see it as a white-on-black “crime”, and know little or nothing about the long history of slavery…Maro ny mainty hoditra no mifantoka fotsiny amin'ny lovam-panandevozana nampiharin'ny Eoropeana tamin'ny razambeny ka mijery azy ho “heloka” nanindrian'ny fotsiny ny mainty ka tsy mahalala na mahalala ny bitika amin'ny tantara lavaben'ny fanandevozana.
19So, while we can loll around complacently with the freedom that we now have, we ought to get sight of its absence in many, many places.Noho izany raha mianoka ny fahafahana iaianana ankehitriny isika, dia tokony hahay mijery ny fahabangany any amin'ny toerana maro dia maro.
20Remember that slavery is an international injustice, that has racial and ethnic aspects far removed from black-white relations.Tsarovy fa tsy rariny hita any amin'ny firenentsamihafa ny fanandevozana, ary toetram-pifandraisana eo amin'ny foko na fiaviana mifanalavitra amin'ny fifandraisan'ny fotsy sy ny mainty
