9 | In his address to the Zambian National Assembly, Mr Ban said: | Tanatin'ny fanatrehany ny Antenimieram-pirenena Zambiana, niteny Atoa Ban: |
10 | Now you have embarked on a transformation agenda - a process for a new people-driven Constitution that will be a foundation for Zambia's progress, a Constitution that will stand the test of time. | Ankehitriny dia tafiditra anatina fandaharam-potoanan'ny fanovàna ianao - dingana ho anà lalàm-panorenana mifototra amin'ny vahoaka izay ho fototry ny fivoaran'i Zambia, lalàm-panorenana izay hijoro manoloana ny sedran'ny fotoana. |
11 | This offers Zambia an opportunity to lead once more by enshrining the highest standards of human rights and protections for all people - regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation or disability. | Io dia manome an'i Zambia ny fahafahana hitarika indray mandeha indray amin'ny alalan'ny fametrahana ny zon'olombelona avo indrindra sy ny fiarovana ny vahoaka rehetra - tsy mifidy fiaviana, finoana, ny karazana, ny fironana ara-nofo sy ny fahasembanana. |
12 | His statement brought back into focus the issue of homosexuality for which the then ruling MMD nearly destroyed the then opposition leader, now republican President Michael Sata, during the campaigns leading to last September's elections which saw him beat former President Rupiah Banda. | Namerina ny fifantohana amin'ny raharahan'ny fifanambadian'olona mitovy ny fanambarany, izay saika nanimbàn'ny MMD nitondra tamin'izany fotoana ny mpitarika ny mpanohitra tamin'izany fotoana, Michael Sata Filohan'ny Repoblika ankehitriny, nandritra ireo fampielezan-kevitra nitondra nankamin'ny fifidianana ny Septambra lasa teo izay nahitàna azy nandresy ny Filoha Teo aloha Rupiah Banda. |
13 | Zambia netizens on most social networking sites have reacted differently to Ban's statement, with most of them invoking the “Christian Nation” tag, which is enshrined in the country's constitution. | Samihafa ny fihetseham-pon'ireo Zambiana mpampiasa aterineto any amin'ny ankamaroan'ireo vohikalan'ny tambajotra sosialy mikasika ny fanambaran'i Ban, ny ankamaroan'izy ireo dia nampiasa ny fotokevitra “Firenena Kristianina”, izay napetraka tao amin'ny lalàm-panorenan'ny firenena. |

16 | Mr Ban, we expected to hear that from you. | Atoa Ban, efa nampoizinay hoe hiteny izany ianao. |
17 | Infact that was yo main agenda… to advance the cause of the homosexual and lesbians. | Raha ny tena marina dia izany no tena anton-dianao… hanosika ny hetsik”ireo pelaka. |
18 | Listen Zambia is a sovereign state, we dont have to be told how to live. | Henoy ange, firenena manana fiandrianana i Zambia, tsy mila tenenina anay ny fomba tokony hiainanay. |
19 | We knw those homos and lesbians have always been part of our society. | Fantatray fa ao anatin'ny fiaraha-moninay foana ireo pelaka ireo. |
20 | They do their acts in secrecy and we are ok with that. | Manao ny fanaony any amin'ny toerana miafina izy ireo ary tsy mampaninona anay izany. |
21 | If they dare come out in the open to advance their evils, we will deal with them ruthlessly!!!! | Raha toa ka sahy miseho amin'ny daholobe kosa izy ireo ka manitatra ny faharatsiany, tsy hanananay antra mihitsy!!!! |

25 | Please Mr Secretary General, we as Zambians have accepted that we are a Christian Nation, it is in our constitution and so becomes our Right. | Miangavy anao ry Atoa Sekretera Jeneraly, izahay teratany Zambiana dia nanaiky ny maha-firenena Kristianina anay, ao anatin'ny lalàm-panorenanay izany ary araka izany dia lasa Zonay. |
26 | Being such means respect for all persons as they are God's imagery creation - including criminals, homosexuals,lesbians, liars, prostitutes and the like, while at the same time condemning their sinful activities, so that they turn away. | Ny olona tahaka izany dia midika fanajana ny olon-drehetra noho ny mahazavaboary endrik'Anriamanitra azy ireny - anatin'izany ireo mpamono olona, pelaka lahy sy vavy, mpandainga, mpivaro-tena sy ny karazany, raha sady manameloka ny hetsika vetavetan'izy ireo, mba hialan'izy ireo amin'izany. |
27 | Mr SG, we know you want us to follow other nations by not criminalising homosexuality. | Atoa SJ, fantatray fa tianao hanaraka ireo firenena hafa amin'ny tsy fanamelohana ny fifanambadian'olona mitovy izahay. |
28 | That we shall refuse. | Izay lavinay. |
29 | We shall never de-criminalise such acts. | Tsy hitsahatra hanameloka fihetsika tahaka izany izahay. |
30 | Let those nations copy from us because it is the most sensible thing to do | Ireo firenena ireo no tokony haka tahaka anay satria izany no zavatra mendrika indrindra tokony hatao |

32 | Mr Ban is talking about BASIC rights. | Miresaka momba ireo Zo FOTOTRA i Atoa Ban. |
33 | He is not talking about gay marrriage or that kind of thing. | Tsy miresaka mikasika ny fifanambadian'ny pelaka na resaka sahala amin'izany izy. |
34 | Have some of you read the story before commenting? | Nisy taminareo ve namaky ny tantara alohan'ny nitsikeranareo? |
35 | Basic rights is like the right to clean water or education. | Ireo zo fototra dia tahaka ny zo hanana rano fisotro madio na fanabeazana. |
36 | He is saying these people should be allowed to live life free from physical danger and enjoy same basic rights without discrimination. | Miteny izy fa tokony havela hiaina an-kalalahana ireny olona irenylavitry ny teritery ara-batana ka hankafy ireo zo sahala amin'ny maro tsy misy fanavakavahana. |
37 | I do not see anything wrong with that. | Tsy hitako ny zavatra ratsy amin'izany. |
38 | These are people too. | Olona ihany koa izy ireny. |
39 | Our churches and families should work hard to ensure young people stay away from homosexuality and other negative stuff. | Tokony hiasa mafy ny fiangonantsika sy ny fianakaviantsika mba hampisintaka lavitra ny zanatsika amin'ny fifanambadian'olona mitovy sy ireo zavatra ratsy hafa. |

46 | No. They sinned but its not a crime, they made the decision. | Tsia. Nanota izy ireo fa tsy asa ratsy izany, izy ireo no nandray ny fanapahan-kevitra. |
47 | Should gay people go to jail for dating…It is a filthy filthy SIN but not a crime…They have rights not be stoned, killed or harrassed, but they shouldnt have rights to get married, display their feelings publicly because we are a very PROUDLY HOMOPHOBIC COUNTRY…So when someone says gay people have rights, that shouldnt scare you as long as they keep their gayism at home | Tokony haiditra am-ponja noho ny fiarahany ve ny pelaka…FAHOTANA lehibe dia lehibe izany fa tsy asa ratsy…manan-jo tsy ho voatora-bato, ho vonoina na ho voarahona izy ireo, nefa tsy tokony hanan-jo hanao fampakaram-bady, haneho ny fihetseham-pony ampahibemaso izy ireo satria isika dia FIRENENA TENA MIREHAREHA AMIN'NY FANKAHALANA IREO PELAKA…Noho izany dia rehefa misy olona iray miteny fa manan-jo ny pelaka, tsy tokony hampahatahotra anao izany raha mbola mametraka ny mahapelaka azy any an-tranony izy ireny |
