First Translations of "Bagong Binhi" Here

FIRST TRANSLATIONS OF “BAGONG BINHI” (IN KAPAMPANGAN AND ENGLISH)
.
“Bagong Binhi” was first proclaimed in unison in Castillejos, Zambales, in the Sunday morning mass of May 2, 2010, by about 80 leaders and members, mostly belonging to the aeta indigenous groups, of people’s organization among organic farmersin that part of Zambales. The line-by-line chorused recitation was led by Ed Aurelio C. Reyes, secretary-general of the World Environment Day-Philippines (WED-Phils) Network, and Conrado Esemple, leading functionary of theTask Force for Justice, Peace and the Integrity of Creation(JPIC) in the project area.
.
. This and its translations will be circulated in the widest manner possible to seek the adoption by individuals, families, communities and organizations. WED-Phils will wage a campaign for this “new seed” to be sown and to germinate in various areas within and outside the Philippines, and will pass a resolution on it during the Annual Assembly to be held by this network on June 5 at the Environmental Studies Institute ng Miriam College sa Quezon City.
.
. The drive for translations has started, with these two items which are still comments for improvement as translations from concerned advocates who shall sign their names and indicate their names and indications of their being native/proficient speakers/writers of the involved languages. We are asking for help on this task.

Tayo ay malaya at mulat, malinaw at matatag, na nagpasyang / pagsanib-sanibin ang ating mga kakayahan / upang aktibong ipagtanggol ang buhay at kalusugan, dangal at katalinuhan, ng Sangkatauhan at Sangkalikasan, / sa kalagayang hindi natin maasahan, at madalas pa ngang nakakabangga / ang mga pamahalaan at institusyong nagpapabaya o sumasabwat pa sa paglalason at pamiminsala / sa buhay at iba pang kailangan nating ipagtanggol. / Personal at sama-sama natin itong tungkulin at karapatan / na hindi makatuwirang itatwa o hadlangan ninuman. / Ang pasya nating ito ay isang Bagong Binhi / ng inspirasyon at mga aksyong / palalaganapin natin / sa ating sari-sariling bansa at sa buong sandaigdigan. / Kapasyahan natin itong ipapahayag at isasagawa / ng ating mga pami-pamilya / at sari-sariling mga pamayanang magbabalik-bayanihan / para sa ating kalikasan, karangalan at sustenableng kabuhayan. / Itatakda natin nang malinaw ang mga balak / ayon sa ating mga kalagayan at kakayahan, / at ayon sa diwa at bisa ng ating pagsasanib-lakas. / Kasihan nawa tayo nang palagian ng Bathalang Maylikha.

ENGLISH:
A NEW SEED
We – you, me and all who are with us – have freely, clearly and firmly decided /
To have our respective capabilities combined / to actively defend / the life, dignity and wisdom / of Humankind and of Nature / in the situation where we can not depend
on governments and institution that, in fact, allow and abet the poisoning and destruction / of life and others that we need to protect and defend. / Personally and together / we hold that this as our duty and our right / which no one can reasonably / ignore or oppose. / This decision of ours / is a New Seed of inspiration and actions /
that we will spread throughout our respective countries and the whole world. /
This decision we shall cause to be proclaimed and fulfilled / by our own families /
and respective communities that will bring back the practice of bayanihan /
for the sake of our nature, honor, and sustainable living. / We shall craft clear plans to fulfill this / according to our own conditions and capabilities / in line with the spirit and effect of our synergy. / May we always be guided and helped / by our Divine Manager and Creator.
