1Syria: Let It Snow!Syria: Avelao hirotsaka ny ranomandry!
2It's been a whirlwind week of weird weather for much of the Levant, as relieving rains and surprise snows blanket the landscape.Toetrandro tsy nahazatra loatra narahan-tafiotra no nanamarika ny herinandro lasa teo tany amin'ny faritra maro tany Levant, raha nirotsaka ny orana efa nandrasana ela sy ny ranomandry tsy nampoizina nandrakotra izay rehetra taka-maso.
3In the Syrian capital, the streets are covered with snow for the first time in years.Tao an-drenivohitra Siriana, sambany rakotra ranomandry indray ny arabe rehetra raha tsy nisy izany an-taona maro.
4Though the Damascus skies occasionally sprinkle snow, rarely does it stick to the ground.Tao Damas, na dia misy ranomandry tsindraindray ihany aza, tsy dia mijanona ela eo ambonin'ny tany ireny.

6For most young Damascenes (20s, early 30s), this is the very first time in their life that they see it snow in Damascus.Ho an'y ankamaroan'ny tanora ao Damaskosy (20 taona, na manakaiky ny 30 taona), voalohany teo amin'ny andro niainan-dry zareo izao nahitany ranomandry ao Damaskosy izao.
7A report I just read says it's been 25 years since it last snowed in this beautiful city of spirit and soul.Tatitra iray vao avy novakiako no nahalalalako fa efa ho 25 taona no nisy ranomandry farany tao amin'ity tanana mahafinaritry ny saina amam-panahy ity.
8But according to my father-in-law he saw it snow around 50 years ago… and doesn't remember seeing snow on the streets of the Syrian capital, ever since.Nefa raha ny filazan'ny rafozan-dahiko, dia 50 taona lasa izay no nisy ranomandry nirotsaka… ary tsaroany mihitsy hatreto hoe nahita ranomandry teny an-dalamben'ny renivohitra Siriana…
9Before settling in this city I most cherish and adore, I have been in and out of Damascus during many seasons, but this is the first time in my 30-something life that I see snow fluff down from the sky, so serenely and beautifully, filling me with hope and love, more than anything else.Talohan'ny nipetrahako teto amin'ity tanàna lalaiko sy tiako ity, dia efa nivezivezy teto Damaskosy foana tamina vanim-potoana samihafa aho, saingy izao no voalohany nandritry ny 30 taona mahery niainako mba nahitako izany ranomandry mirotsaka avy any an-danitra izany, midoladola sy mahafinaritra, mameno fanantenana sy fitiavana any anatiko any, mihoatra noho ny zavatra hafa rehetra.
