1 | Serbia Rises to Save 600-Year-Old Oak Tree | Mijoro Hiaro Ilay Hazo Oak 600 Taona i Serbia |
2 | As a plan to remove Istanbul's Gezi park sparked a mass uprising in Turkey in recent weeks, the people of Serbia were faced with a similar fight. | Niteraka fikorontanam-bahoaka ilay drafitr'asa fanafoanana ny saha maitson'i Gezi any Istambul herinandro vitsy lasa izay, efa niatrika ady mitovy amin'izany ny vahoaka Serba. |
3 | A planned highway was set to destroy a 600-year-old oak tree in central Serbia, but after days of protests, the government seems to have bowed to pressure and modified the construction project to save the oak. | Nisy tetikasa fanamboarana làlambe natao hamonoana ilay hazo oak (chêne) 600 taona tao afovoan'i Serbia, fa taorian'ny andro maro nanaovana hetsika fanoherana dia nilefitra ihany ny governemanta ka nanova ny làlan'ilay tetikasa fanorenana mba hamonjena ilay oak. |
4 | In late June 2013 [sr], news broke that the government had secured 340 million euros [about 435 million US dollars] in loans and another 700 million euros [about 895 million US dollars] are expected for the construction of Corridor 11, a long awaited and strategically important portion of highway to run through central Serbia. | Nolazain'ny vaovao tamin'ny faran'ny volana Jona 2013 ny fampisamborana 340 tapitrisa euros [eo ho eo amin'ny 435 tapitrisa dolara Amerikana ] sy 700 tapitrisa euros [ 895 tapitrisa dolara Amerikana ] hanamboarana ny Corridor 11, ampahany stratejika amin'ilay làlambe efa nandrasana ela manavatsava an'i Serbia afovoany. |
5 | But Serbians soon learned that the highway would run straight through the location of a 600-year-old oak tree in the village of Savinac near Gornji Milanovac. | Vetivety foana dia fantatry ny Serba fa hanitsy hanavatsava ny toerana misy ilay hazo oak 600 taona ao amin'ny tanànan'i Savinac akaikin'i Gornji Milanovac ilay làlambe. |
6 | Reaction against the plan was immediate, with people revolting on social networks and soon organizing protests in Savinac and online. | Haingana araka izany koa ny hetsika fanoherana nataon'ny olona, fitsipahana tao amin'ny tambajotra sosialy sy fikarakarana hetsi-panoherana tany Savinac ary tety anaty aterineto. |
7 | Aside from being a marvelous natural treasure and historically significant, there is also a superstition among Serbs that cutting down an oak tree will bring tragedy, even death. | Ankoatra ny maha-zava-mahaliana voajanahary sy ny hevitra entiny ara-tantara, dia misy ihany koa finoana Serba hoe raha tapahana io hazo Oak io dia hisy zava-doza hiseho, mety ho fahafatesana. |
8 | The elderly in rural Serbia will say that oak trees, considered a greatly respected natural phenomena in these parts, are simply not to be toyed with. | Ireo zokiolona any ambanivohitr'i Serbia dia miteny fa tena hajaina ary tsy azo atao kilalao io hazo io. |
9 | Had government representatives and those in charge of the highway construction known that this particular oak tree was in the way of Corridor 11, they may have found a solution for it, but according to Minister of Urbanism and Construction Velimir Ilić, their “attention was not drawn” to the matter previously. | Raha fantatry ny solontenam-panjakana sy ireo tompon'andraikitra amin'ny fanamboarana io làlambe io fa tafiditra ao anatin'ny làlana lalovan'ny Corridor 11 io hazo oak io, dia angamba ho nikaroka vahaolana hafa izy ireo, fa araka ny nambaran'i Velimir Ilić, Minisitry ny Tanàn-dehibe sy ny Fananganana, dia ” tsy voatarika mialoha ho amin'izany ny sainy”. |
10 | Social networks in Serbia were soon ablaze with hundreds of protest messages from citizens under the hashtag #hrast (#oak) on both Twitter and Facebook. | Niboiboika tao amin'ny tambajotra sosialy any Serbia ireo hafatra an-jatony milaza fanoherana avy amin'ny mponina tamin'ny alalan'ny tenifototra #hrast (#oak) tao amin'ny Twitter sy Facebook. |
11 | “In hrast [oak] we trust” became a popular banner held by many at the protest in Savinac and shared on social networks. | “Matoky ny hrast [oak] izahay” io no teny notazonin'ny maro tamin'ny hetsi-panoherana tany manohitra Savinac sy nozaraina tamin'ny tambajotra sosialy. |

13 | This oak tree of this size, to be removed safely requires great work, a large number of workers and a large amount of space, with adequate equipment. | Asa be, mampiasa olona maro, fitaovana mifanaraka amin'izany, mila toerana malalaka ny famindrana tsy misy tomika io hazo oak io amin'izao habeny izao. |
14 | Theoretically, it is possible, but no one has that experience, thus I believe that the removal of the oak would be its end. | An-taratasy dia azo atao izany raha heverina, saingy tsy misy manana izany traikefa izany, noho izany mino aho fa ny famindràna ity hazo ity no fara androny. |
15 | It's all nonsense. | Tsy misy dikany izany. |
16 | In countries that stand by their own, a tree like that would be “included” in the setting - says botanist [Olja] Vasić. | Ao amin'ny firenena iray izay manaja ny fanànany, dia tafiditra ao amin'ny fanajariana ny tontolony ny hazo tahaka itony - hoy ny mpahalala momba ny zava-maniry [Olja] Vasić. |
17 | While the minister and other government officials sought different solutions to the problem, citizens organized protests around the tree in Savinac. | Raha mbola mikaroka vahaolana ireo minisitra sy ireo manam-pahefana ao amin'ny governemata, dia nitokona nanodidina ilay hazo ao Savinac kosa ny mponina. |
18 | In the last days of June, citizens began gathering around the tree to save it, joined and led by the likes of Serbian poet Dobrica Erić, who originally is from the area, and non-government organizations such as the “Green of Serbia”, in a protest dubbed “The Oak Must Not Fall”. | Ny andro faramparany tamin'ny volan Jona dia nanomboka nitangorona manodidina ilay hazo ny mponina ho fanavotana azy, nanaevin-daharana azy sy nitarika ilay Poeta Serba Dobrica Erić, izay avy ao amin'io faritra io, sy ireo fikambanana tsy miankina amin'ny fanjakana toy ny “Green of Serbia” (Maitson'i Serbia), tao amin'ilay hetsika atao hoe : ” Tsy Azo Azera Ny Oak”. |
19 | “Green of Serbia” activists gather around the 600-year-old oak tree in Savinac. | Mivory manodidina ilay hazo oak 600 taona any Savinac ireo mpomba ny “Green of Serbia”. |

21 | The protests lasted until the first weekend of July 2013. | Naharitra hatramin'ny faran'ny herinandro voalohany tamin'ny volana Jolay 2013 ilay fihetsiketsehana. |
22 | Meetings were held at the Ministry of Urbanism and Construction as well as at Prime Minister Ivica Dačić's cabinet to discuss the matter, after which Minister Ilić made a public statement on July 9 that the oak tree would be preserved. | Nisy fivoriana natao tao amin'ny Ministeran'ny Tanàn-dehibe sy ny Fananganana sy tao amin'ny kabinetran'ny Piraiminisitra Ivica Dačić mba hiadiana hevitra ny amin'io olana io, rehefa izany dia nanao fanambaràna ny Minisitra Ilić ny 9 Jolay fa harovana ilay hazo oak. |
23 | As daily tabloid Kurir reported [sr]: | Araka ny nitateran'i tabloida Kurir mpiseho isanandro azy : |
24 | “The asphalt will be entirely separated by a reinforced concrete beam, so that the asphalt doesn't damage the roots, nor the roots the asphalt. | “Hosarahana tanteraka amin'ny alàlan'ny andry voarafitra amin'ny simenitra sy ny vatokely ‘beton armé' ny tara, mba tsy hifanimba ny fakany sy ny tara. |
25 | This way, possible damage to the highway will be avoided,” Ilić stated. | Amin'izay fotoana izay dia ho voasakana ny loza mety hihatra amin'ilay làlambe” hoy i Ilić . |
26 | Both the highway and the oak tree, centuries older than many nations, are of great importance to Serbia. | Samy zava-dehibe ho an'i Serbia na ny làlambe na ilay hazo oak, izay efa naharitra taonjato maro noho ny firenena sasany. |
27 | While the highway promises a much needed logistical solution to a region of Serbia that is plentiful in agricultural and manufacturing businesses, the citizens of Serbia have shown that they are not willing to make a sacrifice of this size. | Na dia mampanantena vahaolana maro ilaina ho anà faritra iray izay maro orinasa mikasika ny fambolena sy indostrialy aza ilay làlambe dia naneho ny tsy fahavononany hanao sorona an'ity hazo ity ny Serba. |
28 | Blogger Zoran Sokić, in reference to the oak tree that shook Serbia, recounts his childhood in the mountainous woodlands of central Serbia, pointing out the importance of three trees that made a difference in his childhood and coming of age and concludes: | Notantarain'i Zoran Sokić, mpitoraka bilaogy, ny fahazazany tany an-tendrombohitra rakotra ala-nà Oak tany afovoan'i Serbia , raha niteny ilay hazo oak mampifanjevo an'i Serbia izy, ary namafisiny ny maha-zava-dehibe ny hazo anankitelo izay mampiavaka ny fahazazany sy ny fahalebiazany sady nofaranany hoe : |
29 | I can only say that, in my hometown, the man who brings the highway will be celebrated and mentioned at slavas [celebration of the family saint among Serbian Orthodox Christians] and gatherings at local cafes after picking raspberries, for at least the next ten centuries. | Azoko lazaina tsora fa, ao amin'ny tanàna nahaterahako, izay lehilahy manorina làlambe dia halaza sady ho voarakitra ao anaty slavas [ fankalazana ny fianakaviana masina ao amin'ny Kristiana Ortodoksa Serba] ary hatrany anaty fihaonana any amin'ireo kafe any an-toerana aorian'ny fiotazana vokatra voaroy, mandritra ny taonjato folo manaraka eo fara-fahakeliny. |
30 | Old are the local tales, probably as old as that oak in Savinac, that we are a dead end street, that the communists didn't allow the railway to pass here because it is was a Chetnik area, that all of our youth will move away if the highway doesn't come - I agree. | Mitovitovy fahanterana amin'ilay oak any Savinac ihany ny fahelan'ny tantara any an-toerana, tampin-dalan-kaleha isika, hoe tsy navelan'ny kaominista holalovan'ny làlamby teo satria faritry ny Chetniks, hoe mahazo alàlana hifindra ireo tanorantsika raha mbola tsy tonga ny làlambe- miombon-kevitra amin'izany aho. |
31 | But, on the other hand, I wouldn't give any of these three trees of mine, not even for three highways or three railways. | Fa amin'ny lafiny iray, tsy omeko ny hazoko anankitelo, na ho takalonà làlambe anankitelo na ho anà lalamby anankitelo. |
