QARAIM LANGUAGES AND LITERATURES ONLY

The Qaraim (Karaites) are a religious and cultural group made up of individuals who adhere to the tenets of the Old Testament of the Hebrew Scriptures alone. Their ethnic and religious roots have been a subject of ongoing discussions to the present day.

Over the centuries they have developed their own spiritual and secular literature, creating their own distinct dialects apart from the standard forms of the languages in the areas in which they've lived.

The question is still open as to whether these dialects can be considered independent languages, since they have their own written traditions. These dialects include: Qaraite Hebrew of Constantinople, Qaraite Turkic (several dialects of Crimea, Lithuania, Ukraine), Qaraite Arabic, Qaraite Aramaic, Qaraite Greek of Turkey and the Qaraite Persian dialects.

The number of literary works written in these dialects is enormous, and has hardly been explored. Due to the efforts of their religious opponents, such as the Pharisees, the Qaraim were labeled as an insignificant and unimportant sect.

Since the discovery of the Cairo Geniza, the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Avraham Ben Shemuel Firkovich collections, anthropologists and lingusts no longer consider the Qaraim as such anymore. Qaraim studies have become a hot topic in academic circles, but despite this recent revival of interest in the Qaraim, the linguistic and literary aspect of Qaraim culture remains largely unexamined. This blog is focused SOLELY upon research involving the examination and restoration of the LANGUAGES and LITERATURES of Qaraim.

Devarim-Qanunnıñ Tekrarı 1-8 (Crimean Karaite-Hebrew-English)

Moşe'niñ Nasiatları

Bu sözlerniñ episini Moşe butün Yisraelge Yarden ozenini keçmezden evel, Aravadaki sahrada, Qızıl deñiz ogünde, Paran ve Tofel, Lavan, Haçerot ve Di-Zahav yerlerinde ayta edi.

Horev yerinden Kadeş-Barnea şeerinece Seir dağlarından keçip ketken yolnıñ uzunlığı on bir kunlüktir.

40-ıncı yılı, 11-inci aynıñ birinci kunü Moşe Yisrael evlatlarına T-ñri'niñ olarğa butün emir etkenini tekrarladı.

Moşe, Heşbon şeerinde yaşağan amorlılarnıñ padişası Sihonnı ve, Aştarot ve Edrey şeerlerinde yaşağan, Başannıñ padişası olğan Ognı yeñgen edi. Endi ise Yarden ozeniniñ şarq yanında, Moav toprağında Moşe bu Qanunnı añlatıp başladı:



-T-ñrimiz olğan Ad.. Horev yerinde bizge boyle ayttı: Bu dağlarda yaşağanıñız yeter! Aman turıp, yolğa çıqıñız. Amorlılarnıñ dağlı toprağına ketiñiz, Aravada, dağlarda ve vadiyde, Negevde ve deñiz yalısında, Hanaanlılarnıñ toprağında ve Livanda, buyük Firat deryasınace yaşağan qomşu halqlarğa barıñız. Baqıñız, Men bu topraqñı endi sizge berdim. Ad.. bu yerlerni Avraham, Yiçaq, Yaakov ve dedeleriñizge ve olarnıñ evlatlarına bermege ant etti. Barıñız dai olarnıñ saipleri oluñız.

Моше'нинъ Насиатлары



Бу сёзлернинъ эписини Моше бутюн Йисраэльге Ярден озенини кечмезден эвель, Аравадаки сахрада, Къызыл денъиз огюнде, Паран ве Тофель, Лаван, Хачерот ве Ди-Захав ерлеринде айта эди.



Хорев еринден Кадеш-Барнеа шеэринедже Сеир дагъларындан кечип кеткен ёлнынъ узунлыгъы он бир кунлюктир.



40-ынджы йылы, 11-инджи айнынъ биринджи куню Моше Йисраэль эвлатларына Т-нъри'нинъ оларгъа бутюн эмир эткенини текрарлады.



Моше, Хешбон шеэринде яшагъан аморлыларнынъ падишасы Сихонны ве, Аштарот ве Эдрей шеэрлеринде яшагъан, Башаннынъ падишасы олгъан Огны енъген эди. Энди исе Ярден озенининъ шаркъ янында, Моав топрагъында Моше бу Къанунны анълатып башлады:





-Т-нъримиз олгъан Ад.. Хорев еринде бизге бойле айтты: Бу дагъларда яшагъанынъыз етер! Аман турып, ёлгъа чыкъынъыз. Аморлыларнынъ дагълы топрагъына кетинъиз, Аравада, дагъларда ве вадийде, Негевде ве денъиз ялысында, Ханаанлыларнынъ топрагъында ве Ливанда, буюк Фират дерьясынадже яшагъан къомшу халкъларгъа барынъыз. Бакъынъыз, Мен бу топракънъы энди сизге бердим. Ад.. бу ерлерни Аврахам, Йичакъ, Яаков ве деделеринъизге ве оларнынъ эвлатларына бермеге ант этти. Барынъыз даи оларнынъ саиплери олунъыз.





א אֵלֶּה הַדְּבָרִים, אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר מֹשֶׁה אֶל-כָּל-יִשְׂרָאֵל, בְּעֵבֶר, הַיַּרְדֵּן: בַּמִּדְבָּר בָּעֲרָבָה מוֹל סוּף בֵּין-פָּארָן וּבֵין-תֹּפֶל, וְלָבָן וַחֲצֵרֹת--וְדִי זָהָב. 1 These are the words which Moses spoke unto all Israel beyond the Jordan; in the wilderness, in the Arabah, over against Suph, between Paran and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Di-zahab. ב אַחַד עָשָׂר יוֹם מֵחֹרֵב, דֶּרֶךְ הַר-שֵׂעִיר, עַד, קָדֵשׁ בַּרְנֵעַ. 2 It is eleven days journey from Horeb unto Kadesh-barnea by the way of mount Seir. ג וַיְהִי בְּאַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה, בְּעַשְׁתֵּי-עָשָׂר חֹדֶשׁ בְּאֶחָד לַחֹדֶשׁ; דִּבֶּר מֹשֶׁה, אֶל-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, כְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר צִוָּה יְהוָה אֹתוֹ, אֲלֵהֶם. 3 And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spoke unto the children of Israel, according unto all that the LORD had given him in commandment unto them; ד אַחֲרֵי הַכֹּתוֹ, אֵת סִיחֹן מֶלֶךְ הָאֱמֹרִי, אֲשֶׁר יוֹשֵׁב, בְּחֶשְׁבּוֹן--וְאֵת, עוֹג מֶלֶךְ הַבָּשָׁן, אֲשֶׁר-יוֹשֵׁב בְּעַשְׁתָּרֹת, בְּאֶדְרֶעִי. 4 after he had smitten Sihon the king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, who dwelt in Ashtaroth, at Edrei; ה בְּעֵבֶר הַיַּרְדֵּן, בְּאֶרֶץ מוֹאָב, הוֹאִיל מֹשֶׁה, בֵּאֵר אֶת-הַתּוֹרָה הַזֹּאת לֵאמֹר. 5 beyond the Jordan, in the land of Moab, took Moses upon him to expound this law, saying: ו יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ דִּבֶּר אֵלֵינוּ, בְּחֹרֵב לֵאמֹר: רַב-לָכֶם שֶׁבֶת, בָּהָר הַזֶּה. 6 The LORD our God spoke unto us in Horeb, saying: 'Ye have dwelt long enough in this mountain; ז פְּנוּ וּסְעוּ לָכֶם, וּבֹאוּ הַר הָאֱמֹרִי וְאֶל-כָּל-שְׁכֵנָיו, בָּעֲרָבָה בָהָר וּבַשְּׁפֵלָה וּבַנֶּגֶב, וּבְחוֹף הַיָּם--אֶרֶץ הַכְּנַעֲנִי וְהַלְּבָנוֹן, עַד-הַנָּהָר הַגָּדֹל נְהַר-פְּרָת. 7 turn you, and take your journey, and go to the hill-country of the Amorites and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the Arabah, in the hill-country, and in the Lowland, and in the South, and by the sea-shore; the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates. ח רְאֵה נָתַתִּי לִפְנֵיכֶם, אֶת-הָאָרֶץ; בֹּאוּ, וּרְשׁוּ אֶת-הָאָרֶץ, אֲשֶׁר נִשְׁבַּע יְהוָה לַאֲבֹתֵיכֶם לְאַבְרָהָם לְיִצְחָק וּלְיַעֲקֹב לָתֵת לָהֶם, וּלְזַרְעָם אַחֲרֵיהֶם. 8 Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD swore unto your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.
