1 | Bethlehem: Armenian and Greek Clergy Clash at Christmas | Bethlehema: Nigidraka tanaty noely ny mpitondra fivavahana Armeniana sy Grika |
2 | Armenian and Greek priests have once again clashed, but this time at the Church of Nativity in Bethlehem, much to the astonishment and amusement of social media users worldwide. | Nifampigidraka indray ny mpitondra fivavahana Armeniana sy Grika, saingy tamin'ity indray mitoraka ity dia tao amin'ny Fiangonana Nahaterahana tao Bethlehema, izay niteraka fahagagana sy sangisangy teo amin'ny mpiserasera manerantany. |
3 | Apparently stemming from a dispute over which priests would clean which part of the church, such brawls are nothing new. | Heverina fa ny nahatonga ny fifandirana dia hoe ny faritra aiza ao am-piangonana no tokony hodiovin'ny relijiozy tsirairay avy, tsy zava-baovao moa ny gidragidra tahaka izao. |
4 | In November 2008, for example, Armenian and Greek Monks clashed at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. | Tamin'ny Novambra 2008, ohatra, efa nifandona tao amin'ny Fiangonana Fasan'i Jesoa tao Jerusalem ny moanina Armeniana sy Grika. |

6 | Okay, so Christmas is one of the biggest holidays of the year for the Christian world - even though most of how we celebrate Christmas is actually pagan (Dec. 25, trees, greenery, lights, gifts - all pagan. | Okay, iray amin'ny fety kristiana lehibe ny noely na dia avy amin'ny fombam-pivavahana tsy kristiana aza no nandraisana azy (ny 25 Desambra, ny hazo krismasy, ny hamaitsoana, ny hazavana, ny fanomezana - tsy avy amin'ny fombam-pivavahana kristiana daholo. |
7 | Gotta love that irony, too.). | Tiako koa izany fandrabirabiana izany an.) |
8 | And Bethlehem is where it all began….. | Ary avy any Bethlehema no iaingan'izany….. |
9 | So, I found this pic on yahoo today: Greek and Armenian priests, cleaning up a Bethlehem church they share with Catholics, broke into an all-out broom war this week over who was cleaning whose part of the church. | Dia nahita ity sary ity tamin'ny yahoo androany ity aho: Relijiozy Grika sy Armeniana, manadio ny fiangonana ao Bethlehema izay ifampizarany amin'ny Katolika, nivadika ho ady fifanipazana kifafa tamin'ity herinandro ity noho ny fifandirana amin'ny hoe iza no manadio ny faritra aiza ao am-piangonana. |
10 | The whole thing had to be broken up by Palestinian police, who are, presumably, Muslim. | Ary izany rehetra izany dia tsy maintsy nosarahan'ny polisy Palestiniana, izay heverina ho miozolomana. |
11 | The layers of irony here are just too much. | Tena mba tafahoatra ihany ny hatevin'ny fandrabirabiana. |
12 | It'd be hilarious if it weren't so petty and childish - and sad. | Tokony ho mampitokelaka raha tsy mandreraka sy zazazaza fanao - sady mampalahelo. |
13 | Twitter users particularly enjoyed reporting on the brawl. | Nihorakora-pifaliana mihitsy moa ny mpisera Twitter nitatitra ny gidraka. |
14 | @pixie_pete: Will Bethlehem priest tag fighting become a new Olympic sport? […] | @pixie_pete: Ho lasa lalao olaimpika vaovao ve ny adin'ny relijiozy ao Bethlehema? […] |
15 | @TCofLondon: Rival priests in Bethlehem brawl. | @TCoziLondon: Gidraky ny relijiozy mpifandrafy ao Bethlehema. |
16 | This really is hilarious! […] | Mampitokelaka mihitsy! […] |

18 | @meneedbeer: Greek or Armenian priests: who's better at sweeping a Church floor? | @meneedbeer: Relijiozy Grika sa Armeniana: iza no kinga kokoa amin'ny fanadivoana ny fiangonana? |
19 | There's only one way to find out- FIGHT!! […] | Fomba tokana ihany no ahafantarana izany- MIADY! […] |

23 | @nickjtaylor: Peace on Earth indeed: […] Just one more reason I can't take religion seriously. | @nickjtaylor: Fiadanana indrindra ho ety ambonin'ny Tany: […] Antony hafa indray tsy andraisako ny fivavahana amim-pahamatorana. |
24 | Fr Ray Blake's Blog, however, took a moment to reflect: | Ny bolongan'i Fr Ray Blake kosa indray naka fotoana ieritreretana: |
25 | Greeks and Armenians fight in the sanctuary: is this a brawl, muscular Christianity or just two factions convinced they are right. | Adin'ny Grika sy ny Armeniana ao amin'ny toerana masina: gidragidra ve, sa fampisehoan-kery kristiana sa vondrona roa samy resy lahatra fa ry zareo no manana ny rariny. |
26 | Such outbreaks in the Holy Land are not unusual. | Tsy mba zava-tsy fahita ny fihoaram-pefy tahaka izao aty amin'ny Tany Masina. |
27 | Even so, Fr Stephen Smuts Blog was not impressed: | Na izany aza tsy gaga ny bolongana Fr Stephen Smuts: |
28 | […] this time it's between clergy in Bethlehem at the Church of the Nativity. | […] teo amin'ny relijiozin'ny Fiangonana Nahaterahana tao Bethlehema indray tamin'ity indray mitoraka ity. |
29 | Greek Orthodox and Armenian Apostolic priests and monks who were armed with brooms got into it while cleaning the Church. | Niditra an-tsehatra ny relijiozin'ny Grika Orthôdôksa sy ny Apostolika Armeniana mbamin'ny moanina izay mitondra kifafa rehefa hanadio ny fiangonana. |
30 | Palestinian riot police were called in: […] | Nantsoina ny polisy misahana ny rotaka Palestiniana: […] |
31 | What a pathetic witness. | Vavolombelona nanatri-maso koa izany. |
32 | See for yourself: | Jereonareo: |
33 | Globalisering, christendom en het Midden-Oosten, however, attempts to go deeper into reasons for the scuffle: | Globalisering, christendom en het Midden-Oosten, kosa niezaka ny nitady lalindalina kokoa ny antony nahatonga ny fifandirana: |
34 | This is interesting stuff, especially because I suspect that today's broom fight reflects some of the increased tensions over the restoration of the church, badly needed for many years, initiated by the Palestinian Authority a year or so back, boosted by their recent UN bid, and contentious among the communities that use the church. | Lohahevitra mahaliana izy ity, indrindra rehefa ahiahiako ho mifandraika amin'ny fanavaozana ny fiangonana ity adin-kifafa ity. Efa nilaina an-taonany maro fanavaozana, fanapahan-kevitra noraisin'ny Fahefana Palestiniana herintaona izay na talohaloha kokoa, nohafaninganin'ny tolotry ny Firenena Mikambana, ary mampiady ny fikambanana mampiasa ny fiangonana. |
35 | Not that they are not convinced something has to be done, but paying for repairs, as much as cleaning, may alter the rights of usage of each and everyone in the church. | Tsy hoe tsy resy lahatra amin'izay tokony atao ry zareo, fa mety hampihena ny zon'ny tsirairay sy ny rehetra ao am-piangonana ny fandoavam-bola ho amin'ny fanamboarana, tahaka ny fanadiovana. |
36 | Who's to pay for what and when? | Iza no handoa ary rahoviana? |
37 | Some tension over these major changes is quite understandable, as is some brawling by young and eager monks … | Mety azo atao ihany ny mahakôpy ny fifandirana noho ny fiovana lehibe tahaka izany, sy ny gidraka ataon'ny moanina tanora sy mazoto sasantsasany … |
38 | However, most of today's commentators seem to have missed both its rituality and its link to current Palestinian affairs and this therefore does not explain the world wide fascination with these scuffles. | Na izany aza dia tahaka ny tsy mahalala ny fombam-pivavahan'ny roa tonta ny mpiresaka androany sy ny fifandraisany amin'ny raharaha palestiniana nefa tsy manazava amin'ny fahagagan'izao tontolo izao amin'ny gidraka tahaka itony izany. |
39 | Part of the fascination, of course, is the obvious tension between Christianity's ideals of peace on earth and its reality of fighting clergy - especially when the fighting is so visually satisfying with nice new brooms that seem to have been bought just for the occasion. | Anisan'ny mahavariana, mazava loatra, ny fifanalavirana eo amin'ny tanjona kristiana hisian'ny fiadanana ety ambonin'ny tany sy ny gidraka hita maso ataon'ny relijiozy - indrindra rehefa mahafa-po jerena ny ady amin'ireto kifafa vaovao mahafinaritra vao novidiana amin'ity fotoan-dehibe ity. |
40 | No deaths, no seriously wounded … we all love to watch a good fight, especially when it confirms our preconceptions about Christianity, clergy, and the Holy Land - yes, of course, it must also have something to do with the fact that it happens in Bethlehem, in the Church of the Nativity, in the week following Catholic and Protestant Christmas, in preparation for Orthodox Christmas - if a fight seems out of place, then this one, there and now. | Tsy nisy ny maty na maratra mafy … tia mijery ady mahafinaritra avokoa isika, indrindra rehefa manamafy ny hevitra efa ananantsika momba ny kristianisma, relijiozy ary ny Tany Masina izany - eny, tokony hisy ifandraisany izany, mazava loatra, rehefa mitranga ao Bethlehema, ao amin'ny Fiangonana Nahaterahana, herinandro manaraka ny noelin'ny Katolika sy ny Protestanta, ary eo am-piomanana amin'ny noelin'ny Orthôdôksa - raha misy ny ady diso toerana dia ity iray eto amin'izao fotoana izao ity. |
41 | Indeed, any politics behind the incident were lost on most others, especially coming as it did at Christmas. | Eny, tsy fantatra intsony ny antony ambadiky ny toe-javatra tahaka itony, indrindra rehefa nanakaiky noely tahaka itony. |
