1Israel: Praying for RainIsiraely: Vondrom-bavaka hiavian'ny orana
2The first hard rains of winter fell this week after months of waiting, causing all of Israel to breath a sigh of relief.Nirotsaka ihany tamin'ity herinandro ity ny oram-batravatran'ny ririnina taorian'ny fiandrasana azy am-bolana maro lasa izay ka nahatonga an'i Isiraely hisento.
3Yaakov Kirschen, author and illustrator of The Dry Bones Blog, pens:Yaakov Kirschen, mpanoratra sy mpandravaka antsary ao amin'ny The Dry Bones Blog, no nandray penina:
4“I took a cab home yesterday, and heavy with thoughts of the terror attack on Mumbai, the missiles out of Gaza, organized crime, the upcoming elections, [Israeli Prime Minister Ehud] Olmert, and the spreading collapse of the world's economy I said to the driver “What do you think of the current situation?”“Nandray fiarakaretsaka aho omaly, feno eritreritra momba ny fampihorohoroana tany Mumbai (Bombay), ny tifitra balafomanga avy any Gaza, ny heloka iraisana tsikombakomba, ny fifidianana ho avy, [ny Praiminisitra Ehud] Olmert, ary ny fitotongan'ny toekarena manerantany aho no nanontany ny mpanamory “Ahoana ny eritreritrao amin'izao toe-draharaha izao?”
5He said “We haven't had rain yet.Hoy izy “Mbola tsy mety avy ny orana.
6It's the first of December and we haven't had rain yet!”Efa voalohan'ny volana Desambra izao nefa tsy mbola avy ny orana!”
7I knew exactly what he meant.Azoko avy hatrany nytiany lazaina.
8He'd had enough of talking about the current situation.”Efa leo miresaka amin'ny toe-draharaha ankehitriny izy.”
9Porofon'ny filazana fa sarotra vao miova ny toe-draharaha aty Azia Andrefana, efa namoaka izao “Tsy Tontan'ny Ela” izao i Kirschen 20 taona lasa izay.
10Adding proof to the idea that things are slow to change in the Middle East, Kirschen posts a “Golden Oldie” from 20 years ago.[Raha tsy misy ny intifada, ny mpanao politika baombina, ny niharam-boinan'ny horohorontany, Koor sy ny fiakaran'ny tahan'ny tsy fananan'asa, dia inona moa izany no resahintsika? Ny tsy fahampian'ny orana… resa-kabary ilay teo ka]
11In a post entitled “Interwoven Fate,” Lirun of East Med Sea Peace writes:Tao amin'ny lahatsoratra mitondra ny lohateny hoe “Anjara Mifaningotra,” no nanoratan'i Lirun ao amin'ny East Med Sea Peace hoe:
12“Its dry right now in israel and palestine.. we have had two very dry winters and a third is slowly crackling its way into our region.. this affects everyone.. we all suffer from the shortage.”“Maina ankehitriny ny andro eto Isiraely sy Palestina.. Efa nandalo ririnina roa maina dia maina isika ary managasanga eto amin'ny faritra koa ny fahamainana fahatelo.. mianjady amin'ny rehetra izany.. tratran'ny tsy fahampiana avokoa ny olon-drehetra.”
13Lirun remarks that the drought has brought people together to pray for rain, featuring a video of one such gathering.Nahamarika i Lirun fa nahatonga ny olona hivondrom-bavaka hiavian'ny orana ny tsy fisian'ny orana, ary dia nasongadiny tamin'ny lahatsary iray izany fihaonana izany.
14Meanwhile, Nicky Blackburn of Israelity recalls bicycling around Lake Kinneret (the Sea of Galilee) where she notes the water has receded to a dangerous level.Etsy andanin'izany, Nicky Blackburn ao amin'ny Israelity no mampahatsiahy ny fihodinana am-bisikileta ny farihin'i Kinneret (na Ranomasin'i Galilia) ka nahatonga azy hahatsikaritra fa ambany loatra mampanahy ny haavon'ny rano.
15The Kinneret is Israel's largest source of drinking water.Ny Kinneret manko no rano fisotron'Isiraely lehibe indrindra.
16Blackburn posts:Hoy Blackburn :
17“Where has the water gone?“Fa lasa aiza ny rano?
18And it's not that we're seeing any signs of a wet winter to come.Ary tsy mahita mariky ny fihavian'ny ririnina manorana mihitsy isika.
19On the contrary, the weather in Israel right now resembles, well, a desert… So that's why Rabbi Shlomo Didi of the Jordan Valley, Ian Clark - the priest of the Scottish church, and Muhammad Dahamshe, the Imam of Kfar Kana, got together to try to ease the situation with a little combined prayer.”Fa mitovy amin'ny any amin'ny tanihay (dezera) aza ny toetr'andro eto Isiraely amin'izao fotoana izao… Ka izany no mahatonga an'i Rabbi Shlomo Didi avy any amin'ny lemaky Jordana, Ian Clark - pretran'ny fiangonana Ekôsey, ary Muhammad Dahamshe, Imam avy ao Kfar Kana, nivory mba hampahalefaka ny toe-draharaha tamin'ny alalan'ny vavaka miara-dalana.”
20Blackburn quotes Shimon Kipnis, manager of a local hotel, who adds:Nanatsonga ny tenin'i Shimon Kipnis, talen'ny trano fandraisam-bahiny iray ao an-toerana , nilaza izao i Blackburn :
21“We see how the shoreline is receding and that the water level is nearing the ‘black line.'“Hitantsika fa efa mahatratra ny fetran'ny tsipika mainty (henjana noho ny tsipika mena ve?) ny haavon'ny rano.
22The purpose of this event was to unite all the religions and offer a joint prayer to the creator of the universe, that he bless us with a rainy season.”Ny tanjon'ity hetsika ity dia ny hampiray ny fivavahana rehetra ary ny hanao vavaka iraisana amin'ny Nahary Izao Tontolo Izao, hitahy antsika hisian'ny fotoanan'ny orana.”
23“Finally… Rain!” exclaimed Israeli Mom yesterday.“Nisy… orana ihany!” hoy ny hiakan'i Israeli Mom omaly.
24“This morning, it was so nice waking up to thick gray clouds covering the sky.“Tamin'ity maraina ity, tena finaritra ny tena mahita ny rahona matroka tanteraka nameno ny lanitra.
25It wasn't too cold, just cool enough to be nice, and everything had that nice scent of fresh rain.Tsy dia mamirifiry loatra, fa mangatsika mahafinaritra, ary toa miemboky ny fofon'orana madinika avokoa ny rehetra.
26It was just a drizzle, so I put on my running shoes and went out for a glorious half an hour, enjoying the fresh colors of the trees and flowers, and even of the red earth on the trails behind our street.Erika ihany ilay izy, ary dia nampiditra kiraro aho hihazakazaka hitsinjaky ny hafalian'ny loko sy ny voninkazo mandritra ny atsasak'adiny, eny fa na dia ny tany mena ambadiky ny arabe aza.
27Lovely.”Mahafinaritra.”
28There is nothing that unites us and reminds us of our humanity more than Mother Nature.Tsy misy zavatra mampiray sy mampahatsiahy antsika ny mahaolombelona antsika ankoatra ny Reny Natiora.
29We are grateful for the blessing of rain in this dry land.Mahatsiaro feno fankalazana isika noho ny fitahian'ny fisian'ny orana amin'izao tany maina izao.
