4 | Residents of Šopić, a village just outside of Belgrade, threatened to “collectively convert to Islam” if their damaged Orthodox church wasn't reconstructed by the parish in October 2015. | Nandrahona “hivadika Silamo daholo” ny mponina ao Šopić, tanàna kely ao ivelan'i Belgrade ihany raha tsy navaozin'ny paroasy tamin'ny Oktobra 2015 ny fiangonana Ortodoksa ravan'izy ireo. |
5 | In a letter to Patriarch Irinej of the Serbian Orthodox Church, the parish members appealed to the leader of the Church to support the reconstruction of the small 150-year-old Šopić church that had been damaged in a natural disaster the previous summer. | Tamin'ny taratasy ho an'ny Patriarka Irinej ao amin'ny Fiangonana Ortodoksa Serba, niantso ny mpitarika Fiangonana ireo mpikambana ao amin'ny paroasy mba hanohana ny fanavaozana ny fiangonana kely Šopić 150 taona izay ravan'ny loza voajanahary tamin'ny vanin-taona mafana lasa teo. |
6 | According to Serbian daily Alo!, the trouble began when a tornado badly damaged the church within minutes in July 2014, ripping the roof off, and damaging the church bells and structure. | Araka ny filazan'ny gazety Serba mpivoaka isan'andro Alo!, nanomboka ny olana raha nandrava ny fiangonana tao anatin'ny minitra vitsy ny tafio-drivotra tamin'ny volana Jolay 2014, nanala ny tafo, ary nandrava ny lakolosim-piangonana sy ny rafi-trano. |
7 | In the meantime, the parish priest made the decision to have the church torn down and a new temple built on the site, despite the complaints of local residents to preserve the century and a half old structure. | Nandritra izany fotoana izany, nanapa-kevitra handrodana tanteraka ny fiangonana ny pretran'ny paroasy ary hanamboatra fiangonana vaovao eo amin'ny toerana na dia eo aza ny fitarainan'ny mponina ao an-toerana mba hiarovana ny rafi-trano efa zato taona sy tapany. |
8 | In the letter addressed to the leader of the Serbian Orthodox Church, the parish members say: | Tamin'ny taratasy nalefa ho an'ny mpitarika ny Eglizy Serba Ortodoksa, hoy ny mpiangona ao amin'ny paroasy hoe: |
9 | If we don't receive your support, which we expect as members of the faith and your faithful followers, we will be forced to, may God forgive us, collectively convert to Islam so that we can, in accordance with the positive laws of the Republic of Serbia, receive better protection of our temples and to keep our Lord Jesus Christ in our hearts as our ancient martyrs did, and to place on our heads whatever cap will allow us to protect our shrines from the arrogance and tyranny of anyone. | Raha tsy mahazo ny fanohananao izahay, fanohanana izay antenainay amin'ny maha-mpiangona iray finoana sy mpanara-dia mahatoky anao, voatery (hamela heloka anay Andriamanitra) hiova Silamo avokoa izahay mba ahafahanay, araka ny lalàna tsara ny Repoblikan'i Serbia, hahazo fiarovana tsara kokoa ho an'ny tempolinay sy hitandrina ny Tomponay Jesosy Kristy ao am-ponay tahaka ny nataon'ny maritiorantsika fahiny, ary hametraka izay satroka eo amin'ny lohanay mba ahafahanay miaro ny toerana masina amin'ny avonavona sy didy jadon'ny olona. |
10 | The parish members of Šopić added in statements to the media that they are not entirely opposed to the construction of a new church, as long as the old church is preserved and reconstructed, stressing that they feel their faith is not as protected as other minority faiths in Serbia. | Nanampy tamin'ny fanambarana ho an'ny haino aman-jery ny mpiangona ao amin'ny paroasy Šopić fa tsy manohitra tanteraka ny fananganana fiangonana vaovao izy ireo raha tsy kitihana na asiana fanamboarana ny fiangonana taloha, nilaza koa fa mahatsiaro izy ireo fa tsy mba arovana tahaka ireo finoana vitsy an'isa hafa ao Serbia ny finoan'izy ireo. |
