4 | Peru is a multicultural country, so it's no wonder that Lima celebrates Chinese New Year, as Global Voices reported recently. | Firenena iray ahitàna kolontsaina maro mifangaro i Però, noho izany dia tsy mahagaga raha mankalaza ny Taombaovao Shinoa i Lima, araka ny nitateran'ny Global Voices azy tsy ela akory izay. |
5 | In the south of the country, however, in the city of Tacna, we find evidence of another migration in the Bab ul Islam mosque, where Peru's Muslims convene to worship. | Any amin'ny tapany atsimo amin'ny firenena anefa, ao an-tanànan'i Tacna, no nahitanay porofo mivaingana momba ny fifindramonina iray hafa, tao amin'ny maoske Bab ul Islam, toerana nataon'ireo Miozolmana ao Però hivavahany. |
6 | The mosque, which now has its own Facebook page, was built by Muslim citizens who arrived in the 1990s. | Ilay maoske, izay efa manana ny pejiny Facebook manokana ankehitriny, dia naorin'ireo Miozolmana tonga tao tamin'ny 1990 tany ho any. |
7 | It opened its doors 15 years ago, in 2000. | Nanokatra ny varavarany izy io tamin'ny 15 taona lasa, ny taona 2000. |
8 | The website IslamHoy.org sums up Muslim migrations to Latin American over the past five centuries: | Ny tranonkala IslamHoy.org no mamintina ny fifindramonin'ireo Miozolmana nankao Amerika Latina tao anatin'ireo taonjato dimy lasa: |
9 | The history of the arrival of Muslims to Peru is usually limited to the migratory floods carried out from 19th century until 20th century. | Matetika ny fifindramonin'ireo Miozolmana nankao Però no voafetra ho resaka firohotana natao tany amin'ny taonjato faha19- hatramin'ny faha-20 tany monja. |
10 | However, it's worth mentioning earlier migrations and thus we have to try to get back in time, back to 15th century. | Kanefa, ilaina marihana ireo fifindramonina tany alohany ary araka izany dia tsy maintsy ezahantsika ny miverna manao jery todika, hatrany amin'ny taonjato faha-15. |
11 | […] Muslims who arrived in America left much of their art. For instance, until now we can observe in the city of Lima (initiated during colonial Lima) buildings with Mudejar designs […]. | […] Betsaka tamin'ny kanton'izy ireo no navelan'ireo Miozolmana tonga tao Amerika. Ohatra, hatramin'izao isika dia afaka mahita ao an-tanànan'i Lima (natomboka tamin'ny andron'ny fanjanahana an'i Lima) ireo tranobe misy endrika Mudejar […]. |
12 | When it comes to food, we can still enjoy marzipans, turrons, alfeñiques and mazamorras (a term that comes from masa mora, moor dough), among others. | Raha resaka sakafo no atao, dia mbola ananantsika ny marzipans, turrons, alfeñiques sy mazamorras (fomba fiteny nalaina avy amin'ny masa mora, moor dough), ankoatry ny maro hafa. |
13 | […] Nowadays, there are about 300 Pakistani Muslims, and we shall stress the high number of conversions, especially among women. | […] Amin'izao androntsika izao, misy Pakistane Miozolmana manodidina ny 300 eo ho eo any, ary azontsika tsindriana ny isa ambony be amin'ireo mivadika amin'ny finoany, indrindra fa ny vehivavy. |
14 | There are also migrants from India, some Arab countries, as well as Chileans and Colombians. | Misy ihany koa ireo mpifindra monina avy any India, ny sasany avy any amin'ny firenena Arabo, hatramin'ireo Shiliana sy Kolombiana. |
15 | Meanwhile in Magdalena, a district of Peruvian capital Lima, we find a mosque built in 1986. | Mandritra izany ao Magdalena, distrika iray ao Lima renivohitra Peroviana, dia ahitantsika maoske iray naorina tamin'ny 1986. |
16 | Blogger Juan Luis Orrego Penagos recounts the history of this house of worship: | Juan Luis Orrego Penagos, bilaogera, mitantara ny tantaran'ity trano fivavahana ity : |
17 | Technically, this building is not a mosque (such as, for instance, the one built in Tacna), but an old house “set up” as a praying temple for Muslims living in our city (we find many carpets displayed to make it easier to face Mecca). | Ara-teknika, ity tranobe ity dia tsy maoske (toy ilay iray naorina ao Tacna, ohatra), fa trano ntaolo “natao” ho toy ny tempoly fivavahana ho an'ireo Miozolmana nipetraka tao an-tanànanay (feno karipetra novelarina hitanay hanamoràna kokoa ny fitodihana mankany La Meka). |
18 | […] It can be visited anytime during the day, with no interruption to prayers. | […] Azo tsidihana amin'ny fotoana rehetra izy io mandritra ny andro, tsy misy fitsaharany ny vavaka atao ao. |
19 | […] One of the founder members, Said Faroud, says: “There used to be no mosque. | […] Ny iray tamin'ireo mpikambana mpanorina azy, Said Faroud, milaza hoe : “Tsy nisy maoske teo. |
20 | But the thing is… Muslims were aware that they were getting lost; them and their children, losing their culture, religion, everything… and started to spread the word that we are going to build a mosque… and in 1986, after years of hard work, they manage to create this mosque. | Saingy zava-misy dia izao… Nahatsiaro ho very ry zareo Miozolmana; izy ireo sy ny taranany, very ny kolontsainy, ny finoany ary ny zavatra rehetra… ary dia nanomboka nanaparitaka ny feo ny amin'ny hananganana maoske iray.. ka tamin'ny 1986, taorian'ny asa mafy nataony, dia vitan'izy ireo ny nanorina io maoske io. |
21 | A group of Muslims from California, in the United States, who came to Peru “to spread Islam,” were surprised when they arrived: | Gaga ny andianà miozolmana avy any Kalifornia, any Etazonia, izay tonga tao Però “hanaparitaka ny finoana Silamo,” rehefa tonga tao: |
22 | Much to our surprise, the guy who answered the phone was the one in charge of the mosque in Lima. | Fahagagàna tanteraka ho anay, ilay olona namaly ny antso tamin'ny telefaona dia ilay mpandraikitra ny maoske ao Lima. |
23 | His name was Sabed. | Sabed no anarany. |
24 | He is the imam of the mosque in Lima (located in Tacna Avenue, Magdalena) and insisted on picking us up at the airport. We told him we'd take a taxi. | Izy no “imam” ao amin'ny maoske-n'i Lima (hita ao amin'ny arabe migodanan'i Tacna, Magdalena) ary nisisika mihitsy ny haka anay any amin'ny seranam-piaramanidina. |
25 | We were glad and relieved to find a mosque. | Nambaranay azy fa efa naka fiarakaretsaka izahay. |
26 | Saeed was very happy, as that was the first time a group came from United States to visit the mosque in Lima. | Faly be mihitsy i Saeed, satria izao no voalohany nisian'ny andian'olona avy any Etazonia tonga hitsidika ny maoske ao Lima. |
27 | The mosque, which used to be a big house with 12 rooms, was a donation from an Arab brother. | Ilay maoske, izay tranobe misy efitra 12, dia fanomezana avy amin'ny rahalahy iray Arabo. |
28 | […] Peru is a huge country with over 24 million people. | […] Firenena iray goavana i Però, ahitàna mponina 24 tapitrsa. |
29 | In the capital Lima, there are about 400 Muslims. | Ao Lima renivohitra, misy eo amin'ny 400 eo ny Miozolmana. |
30 | Most of Muslims in Peru are a mix of Palestinians and Syrians who left their homelands looking for a better economy for their families. | Ny ankamaroan'ireo Miozolmana ao Però dia fifangaroanaà Palestiniana sy Syriana izay nandao ny tany niaviany hikatsaka fiainana metimety kokoa ho an'ny fianakaviany. |
31 | Some Twitter users have also addressed Peru's Muslim presence: | Manipika ny fisian'ireo Miozolmana ao Però ihany koa ny sasany amin'ireo mpampiasa Twitter : |
32 | Muslim mosque, Tacna, Peru. | Maoske Miozolmana, Tacna, Peru. |
33 | We hear the call for prayers. | Renay ny antso hivavaka. |
34 | And there are also expressions of amazement: | Ary misy ihany koa ireo fanehoana fitalanjonana: |
35 | Mosque in Tacna, did you know we have one here? | Maoske ao Tacna, nahafantatra ve ianareo hoe misy iray eto aminay? |
