1 | The Tajik “False Prophet” Sent to Jail for 16 years | “Mpaminany Sandoka” Tajik Nalefa Higadra 16 Taona |
2 | Sheikh Temur's story briefly made Tajiks pause from discussing more mundane but pressing social and economic problems in the country when it was first aired by state TV in February. | Nampiditra vetivety ny Tajik avy amin'ny resaka fivavahana ny tantaran'i Sheikh Temur fa tsy nahala tamin'ny tsindry ara-tsosialy sy ara-toekarena ao amin'ny firenena raha nivoaka voalohany tao amin'ny televizionam-panjakana izy ity tamin'ny febroary. |

4 | A 65-year-old man called Saidmahdikhon Sattorov but known throughout Tajikistan as Sheikh Temur was sentenced to 16 years in jail earlier this week for ‘illegal land grabbing', ‘polygamy', ‘extortion', ‘desecration of the dead and their burial places', and ‘obstruction the obtainmnent of compulsory basic education'. | Lehilahy iray 65 taona atao hoe Saidmahdikhon Sattorov saingy fantatra manerana an'i Tajikistan ho Sheikh Temur no namoahana didim-pitsarana higadra 16 taona an-tranomaizina tamin'ny fiandohan'iny herinandro iny noho ny ‘fangoronana tany tsy ara-dalàna', ‘ny fananana vady maro', ‘fakam-bola an-keriny', ‘fanimbazimbana ny maty sy ny toerana fandevenana azy ireo ‘, ary ‘fanakatsakanana amin'ny fahazoana fanabeazana fototra tsy maintsy atao'. |
5 | Sattorov, who attracted hundreds of feet-kissing followers to his cause, claimed to be the ‘Last Prophet', a title often reserved for the Prophet Muhammad in the Islamic religion. | Milaza tena ho ny ‘Mpaminany Farany' izay anaram-boninahitra natokana ho an'ny Mpaminany Muhammad eo amin'ny fivavahana Silamo i Sattorov, izay nahasarika mpanoroka tongotra an-jatony hanara-dia azy. |

7 | In the hearings that followed Temur's arrest in February, the sheikh admitted he has more than one wife, built illegally on lands he did not own, and did not allow his children to attend a school. | Nandritra ny fakana am-bavany nanaraka ny fisamborana an'i Temur tamin'ny Febroary, dia niaiky ny Sheikh fa manana vady mihoatra ny iray, nanorina trano tsy ara-dalàna eo amin'ny tany tsy azy, ary tsy namela ny zanany hianatra an-tsekoly. |
8 | He requested compassion and mercy for his “old age” and in lieu of the holy month of Ramadan as he awaited sentencing on July 8. | Nangataka fangorahana sy famindram-po noho ny “fahanterany” izy sy noho ny fahantanterahana ny famoahana ny didy tamin'ny valo jolay tao anatin'ny volana masin'ny Ramadany. |
9 | However, a judge in the predominantly Muslim post-Soviet republic failed to show leniency to the sheikh, who just a few months ago was revelling in the joys of young wives, free land, and disciples that drank the water he used to wash his hands. | Saingy tsy nilefitra tamin'ny sheikh izay vao niravoravo tamin'ny vady tanora maro, tany maimaimpoana ary mpanaraka misotro ny rano avy nisasany tanana volana vitsivitsy lasa izay ny mpitsara tao amin'ny repoblika sovietika taloha maro miozolomana. |
10 | Readers of local news websites were more merciful. | Manana famindram-po kokoa ireo mpamaky ny tranonkalam-baovao ao an-toerana. |
11 | Although several months ago Tajik netizens were angry at the sheikh and demanded harsher punishments, many asked for him to be released once the court's verdict became public knowledge. | Na dia tezitra tamin'ny Sheikh ireo Tajik mpiserasera ireo ary nangataka sazy henjana volana maromaro lasa izay, dia maro no nangataka ny hanafahana azy rehefa nampahafantarina ny vahoaka ny didim-pitsarana. |
12 | On Ozodagon, a reader named Khayr wrote: | Tao amin'ny Ozodagon, mpamaky iray antsoina hoe Khayr nanoratra hoe: |
13 | Free this poor man. All officials are also corrupted. | Afaho io lehilahy mampalahelo io. Mpanao kolikoly ihany koa ny manampahefana rehetra. |
14 | Respected judge, did you buy your expensive car and luxury house with just a salary? | Ry mpitsara hajaina, nividy ny fiara lafovidy sy ny tranonao mirentirenty tamin'ny karamanao fotsiny ve ianao? |
15 | Ozodagon, publish [this comment]! | Ozodagon, avoahy [ity fanehoan-kevitra ity]! |
16 | Another Ozodagon reader Marhabo agreed: | Mitovy hevitra aminy ny mpamakin'ny Ozodagon iray antsoina hoe Marhabo : |
17 | You are able [to imprison] only poor people. | Olona mahantra irery no mba vitanareo gadraina. |
18 | Where is humanity? | Aiza ny mahaolona? |
19 | This old man might die in the prison. | Mety ho faty any am-ponja ity lehilahy antitra ity. |
20 | A commenter Kalkhoznik, writing under an article on the sheikh's sentencing published on the Asia Plus web-site was surprised by the length of the sentence: | Gaga amin'ny halavan'ny fotoana ny mpaneho hevitra iray, Kalkhoznik, manoratra eo ambanin'ny lahatsoratra namoahana ny didim-pitsarana mihatra amin'ny sheikh ao amin'ny tranonkala Asia Plus : |
21 | It is hard to understand the reason behind this verdict. | Sarotra ny mahatakatra ny antony ambadik'ilay didim-pitsarana. |
22 | Sheikh was a Sufi, had no interest in politics, lived somewhere in the mountains, did not bother anyone, and for those crimes he was charged…It remains a secret why they wanted to punish him so publicly. | Sufi ilay Sheikh, tsy liana politika, niaina tany an-tendrombohitra tany, tsy nanelingelina na iza na iza, ary tamin'ny heloka niampangana azy… Mbola notazonina tsiambaratelo ireny ka naninona no natao ho fanta-bahoaka ny fanasaziana azy. |
23 | For other observers, however, the reason is obvious. | Hoan'ny mpanara-baovao hafa, anefa, mazava tsara ny antony. |
24 | Tajikistan's government has clamped down on all representations of Islam beyond a state-sanctioned and highly sanitised version of the religion, in which pro-government imams read out sermons against the country's only faith-based opposition party, and police reportedly subject beard-sporting Muslims to forced shavings. | Nenjehin'ny governemanta Tajikistan ireo mpitondratenin'ny Islamo rehetra ankoatra ilay ankatoavin'ny fanjakana ary efa kinova nodiovina tanteraka ao amin'ny fombam-pivavahana, izay amakian'ny imam mpanohana ny governemanta mafy ireo toriteny mamely ny antoko mpanohitra tokana miorina amin'ny alalan'ny finoana, sy aneren'ny polisy izay Silamo mpanao fanatanjahatena hiharatra. |
25 | While Sheikh Temur's charlatan behaviour was far from the tenets of the Koran, the authorities may have wanted to send out a message to other sects that might undermine the state's monopoly over religious practices. | Na dia lavitry ny fitsipiky ny Korany aza ny fitondratena nataon'ny Sheikh Temur mpamitaka, dia mety ho mandefa hafatra amin'ny sekta hafa mety hanohintohina ny ampihimamban'ny fanjakana eo amin'ny sehatry ny fivavahana ny manam-pahefana. |
