شَاهَدَتْ أَنْدِيسُوا الصِّبْيَةَ يَلْعَبُونَ كُرَةَ اَلقَدَمِ.
كَانَتْ تَتَمَنَّى لَوْ أَنَّهَا تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَنْضَمَّ إِلَيْهِمْ.
فَسَأَلَتْ اَلمُدَرِّبَ إنْ كَانَتْ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تتَدَرَّبَ مَعَهُمْ.
Andiswa watched the boys play soccer. She wished that she could join them. She asked the coach if she can practise with them.
Andiswa alikuwa anawaangalia wavulana wakicheza mpira wa miguu. Alitamani kujiunga nao. Akamwomba kocha kufanya nao mazoezi.
أَجَابَهَا المُدَرِّبُ: “في هَذِهِ اَلمَدْرَسَةِ لَا يُسْمَحُ إِلَّا لِلْصِّبْيَةِ أَنْ يَلْعَبُوا كُرَةَ اَلقَدَمِ”.
The coach put his hands on his hips. “At this school, only boys are allowed to play soccer,” he said.
Kocha akaweka mikono kiunoni. “Kwenye shule hii, ni wavulana pekee wanaoruhusiwa kucheza mpira wa miguu,” alisema.
قَالَ اَلصِّبْيَةُ لَهَا: “اِلْعَبِي كُرَةَ الشَّبَكَةِ. كُرَةُ الشَّبَكَةِ لِلْبَنَاتِ، وكُرَةُ اَلقَدَمِ لِلْصِّبْيَانِ”.
The boys told her to go play netball. They said that netball is for girls and soccer is for boys. Andiswa was upset.
Wavulana walimwambia aende kucheza mpira wa wavu. Walisema mpira wa wavu ni kwa ajili ya wasichana na mpira wa miguu ni kwa wavulana. Andiswa alijisikia vibaya.
فِي اليَوْم اَلتَّالي أُقِيمَتْ فِي اَلْمَدْرَسَةِ مُبَارَاةٌ كَبيرةٌ لِكُرَةِ اَلْقَدَمِ.
كَانَ اَلْمُدَرِّبُ قَلِقاً، لِأَنَّ أَفْضَلَ لَاعِبٍ عِنْدَهُ كَانَ مَريضاً، وَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُ اَللَّعِبَ.
The next day, the school had a big soccer match. The coach was worried because his best player was sick and could not play.
Siku iliyofuata, shule yao ilikuwa na mashindano makubwa ya mpira wa miguu. Kocha alikuwa na wasiwasi kwa kuwa mchezaji wake wa kutegemewa alikuwa mgonjwa na asingecheza.
رَكَضَت أَنْدِيسُوا وَتَرَجَّتْهُ أَنْ يَدَعَهَا تَلْعَبُ.
لَمْ يَكُنِ اَلْمُدَرِّبُ وَاثِقاً مِمَّا عَلَيْهِ فِعْلَهُ.
بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ قَرَّرَ أَنْ يَسْمَحَ لَهَا بِاَلاِنْضِمَامِ إِلَى اَلْفَريقِ.
Andiswa ran to the coach and begged him to let her to play. The coach was not sure what to do. Then he decided that Andiswa could join the team.
Andiswa alimwendea kocha na kumuomba kumruhusu acheze. Kocha hakujua afanye nini. Akaamua kumruhusu Andiswe ajiunge na timu.
كَانَتْ المُبَارَاةُ صَعْبَةً جِدًّا.
أَصْبَحَتْ فِي مُنْتَصَفِهَا، وَلَمْ يُسَجَّلْ أَيُّ هَدَفٍ.
The game was tough. Nobody had scored a goal by half time.
Mchezo ulikuwa mgumu. Hakuna timu yoyote iliyokuwa imefunga goli hadi muda wa mapumziko.
فِي اَلْنِّصْفِ الثَّانِي مِنَ المُبَارَاةِ، مَرَّرَ أَحَدُ اَلْصِّبْيَةِ اَلْكُرَةَ إِلَى أَنْدِيسُوا.
تَحَرَّكَتْ بِسُرْعَةٍ كَبِيرَةٍ بِاتِّجَاهِ اَلْمَرمَى.
ثُمَّ رَكَلَتْ اَلْكُرَةَ بِقُوَّةٍ وسَجَّلَتْ هَدَفاً.
During the second half of the match one of the boys passed the ball to Andiswa. She moved very fast towards the goal post. She kicked the ball hard and scored a goal.
Wakati wa kipindi cha pili kijana mmoja alimpatia Andiswa mpira. Akakimbia kwa kasi sana kuelekea golini. Akaupiga mpira kwa nguvu na akafunga goli.
وَمُنْذُ ذَلِكَ اَلْيَوْمِ سَمَحَتْ اَلْجَمَاهِيرُ لِلفَتَيَاتِ بِلَعِبِ كُرَةِ القَدَمِ فِي اَلْمَدْرَسَةِ.
The crowd went wild with joy. Since that day, girls were also allowed to play soccer at the school.
Umati ukashangilia kwa vifijo na furaha. Kuanzia siku hiyo, wasichana waliruhusiwa kucheza mpira wa miguu kwenye timu ya shule.
