I am married in Lashkheti.

The children go to school, the elder studies in the tenth, the little one studies in the seventh.

When I got married in Lashkheti, then was a good time.

There were good roads.

Many good things were done for people's bliss.

Now everything is changed.

atxe šeicûala mag.

Weather, because of bad weather we haven't got roads.

amindob, uamindobay gunġa šuḳûär desa guûa.

Three months, almost, we were turned off the whole world.

semi tûe gamortul xûäsd mteld samq̇aros, titkmis.

Nothing except the sky was our saver.

decənka desma läs gušgûe mäšed-mašûelebel.

We were looking to the sky, to calm a soul and a heart.

decte xûisḳiddad, ere dagûec̣q̇narebia suli da guli.

Now still in two months winter will come to us.

atxe ser aǯaġ yoru tûeysa lintû änqdēni gušgûešxo.

Then we won't have roads completely.

ečanġo yedur desa gûeûeni šuḳûär.

It costs too much going on the roads up and down.

šuḳûär leža lizi-liqed suru ʒûir xaǯeš.

Thirty kilometres cost fifteen manets.

semešd ḳilomeṭr yešṭäxûišṭ manät xaǯeš.

It is very hard to travel up to Lentekhi.

What should people do we don't know.

mäy xeḳûes čûemunes xälxd ma gûixal.

We have a doctor herehe is a man, Lobjanidze, who helps us, looks after us.

gušḳûešməq̇ ekim gûaq̇a, lobžaniʒey mare li, xem... romeli... xedûäy ere nä gûemašedal, gûašṭba.

Often nobody gives him money, too.

xûäydin tetrsi desa xaûdi där.

From people, of course, he doesn't take, but they don't have today a work salary, they work so.

xälxenka, cxäyšd, dem iḳed, magram samsaxurobriû lädi desa xuûax xelpas, eǯži gûemsaxurx.

What he can, almost whole Lentekhi region is on his hope,

mäy xämyeda, eča imedži li damoḳidebil titkmis mteld lenṭxäy räyon,

Upper Lashkheti, so is called our district and our village.

ležay lašx, amži xayžxa gušgûey ubans i gušgûe sopels.

Such a misfortune happened in our village, that more is not possible.

gušgûe sopelisa eǯḳäy ubedureba daṭrialda, ere meṭ er mo šeiʒleba.

Almost all people are afraid.

titkmis mteld xälx maq̇als xari šeboč̣il.

Came a landslip, when nobody was waiting, then.

čûanqad mec̣q̇er, där er anġelda, ečka.

Almost summer, winter and summer coupled each other.

titkmis amzaû, lintû i zaû ešxud gadaeba.

In summer there were such rains that we forgot winter.

zaû lädeġ učxel läs eǯḳäyb, ere lintû čûagûäšṭne.

Winter was better, than summer.

lintû xočil läs aǯaġ, ûidre zaû lädeġ.

After this followed it, that came a landslip.

ales eǯi äxč̣äm, ere čûanqäd mec̣q̇er.

The landslip destroyed and ruined fourty five houses,

mec̣q̇erd mosṗo i gaanadgura ûoštxûešṭiûoxûišṭ kor,

but glory to the God, to the Lashkheti prayer, that there wasn't a victim.

mara didäb atoqäd ġerbats, lašxä salocaûs, ere msxûerṗl mam mohq̇olia.

A human wasn't dead, this is the only happiness, when that it resembled the village to the "nasoplari"(the place where the village was).

adamiän ṭrag... mäd daġuṗula, ale li ertadert bedniereba, dorġûäy, ere sopel nasoplars ätmaǯōne.

It is still very dangerous, not to repeat again such story.

gun lemq̇äl li aǯaġ, ere maxad ma ganmeordes eǯḳäybob.

We have an old geological conclusion written in eighty nine.

šid guûa ǯûinel geologiur dasḳûna araešṭičxaraysa ləyre.

According to it was written still a geological conclusion.

eča mixedûit aǯaġ čûädiyran geologiur dasḳûna.

They promise us still a danger, nothing else,

aǯaġ lemq̇äls gûibcix, išgens _ desmam,

but, but from the government and from the power absolutely nothing is yet.

magram, magram mtaûrobaxen i xelisuplebaxen čike desama li absoliṭurd.

They have still illigible our affair.

aǯaġ gaurḳûeûel xarix gušḳûe sakme.

There is not left a field and a haymaking, nor an arable, neither a haymaking, there is nothing for people to exist in Svaneti.

mäd ägûsesad dab i lare, de _ leqni, de _ leč̣me, desama imoûše arsebobs xälx šûäni ṗirobälisa i xûiselûed txums.

Our village is picked completely of everything(is isolated).

ale gušḳûe sopelxenka säertod moc̣q̇ûeṭilia amḳäyb.

I don't know how will we pass this winter, or how will the nature assist and or - people,

mä mixal al lintûs imžiġen gaûaṭarebt, yed buneba imži šegûic̣q̇obs xels i yed _ xälx,

but I should say, thanks to them, who snds us the humanitarian help,

mara ešxu ašam maḳu loke eǯyarešxo, erûäy, ere gûizzi ale humaniṭarul daxmarebals,

we really aren't thakless, but there is not left anything else

amša ûuašam namdûild ma xûid, mara išḳen desama curd

and the road has opened now, in these days, but then it will be, perhaps, the same as it was.

i šuḳû i zəz atxe gaixsna, al ḳoṭol xanisa, magram ečanġo albat eǯ eǯḳäyb gûeri, maḳäybi läs.

We are licked, well, in winter generally, but in summer almost.

We couldn't go out in summer at all.

amzaû ladeġ säertod desa gûāda kamte laqad.
