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.

Sefer Teilim-Kırım Karayca-Zebur-Birinci Kitap-5-Qorçalav Duvası-Qorçalav Tefilası

Qorçalav Duası-Tefillası

Baş çalğıcı içün. Al-Hannehilot. Davidniñ mizmorı.

Sözlerimni eşit, ya Ha-Şem,
tüşüncelerimni añla.

Fiğan etken sesimni diñle,
ey, Han ve T-ñrim,
çünki men Saña duva etem.

Saba sesimni eşit, ya Ha-Şem.
Sabadan Seniñ aldıña duvamnı ketirip,
cevapnı umütnen beklerim.

Çünki Sen yamanlıqnı sevgen T-ñri degilsiñ,
yaman adam Seniñ yanıñda yer tapmaz.

Maqtañğan adamlar Seniñ qarşıñda
turmaz.
Qanun bozğanlarnıñ episini korecek kozüñ yoq.

Yalan aytqanlarnı Sen yoq etersiñ.
Ha-Şem qannaz ve yalancı adamlarğa
igrençnen baqar.

Men ise, Seniñ buyük sevgiñ içün,
Seniñ eviñe kirecegim,

Senden qorqıp, muqaddes Sarayıña taraf bel bukecegim.

Meni Seniñ adalet yoluña qoy,
çünki duşmanlarım meni kozeteler.

Seniñ yoluñ ogümde doğru olsun, ya Ha-Şem!

Olarnıñ ağzında doğrulıq yoqtır,
içlerinde ise olüm.
Boğazları-açıq mezar,
oz tillerinen aldatalar.

Ey, Ha-Şem, olarnı cezağa uküm et!
Olarnıñ yaman niyetleri ozlerini ursun!
Gunaları çoq olğanı içün,
olarnı tışarığa quv,
çünki olar Saña qarşı çıqtılar.

Soñ Saña işanğanlar episi quvansınlar,
daima sevinçnen qıçırsınlar!
Olarnı Ozüñ qorçalaycaqsıñ,
Adıñnı sevgenler Sen içün
şeñlenecekler!

Çünki Sen, ya Ha-Şem,
insaflılarğa yahşılıq yapasıñ.
Seniñ razılığın olarnıñ çevre-çetlerini, qalqan kibi, qorçalay.
