| Just as I was imagining myself to be a horse ready and saddled, waiting to be told ‘Chuh’, these ‘riders’ seem to be grabbing me as they would a goat’s carcass, Abdulla was thinking, when the men handcuffed him, dragged him out into the yard and bundled him into the sleek car parked by his gates, as his weeping household looked on. | “Чўх!” - дейишни кутган от эдим, энди бу чавандозлар ўзимни тақимларига босишади чоғи, - деб ўйлаган эди ҳамки, лаин очарвоҳлар икки қўлига икки кишан солиб, икки қўлидан судраганича, ҳовлида кўтарилган қиёмат оралаб, дарвоза тагидаги олонда турган учқур машинага улоқтиришди. |
| Abdulla had been arrested once before, eleven years ago, so he was not particularly bewildered or aghast on this occasion. | Абдулла бундан ўн бир йил авал қамалиб чиққанлиги учунми, на саросима, на ғулғулага тушган эди. |
| He could hear the festive clamour of trumpets, chalumeaux, drums: each time the car bumped over a pothole, his handcuffs rattled, turning his mind to quite a different occasion, a scene from the novel his handcuffed hands should have been writing… | Ташқаридан анбуҳ карнай-сурнаю ноғораларнинг ғат-ғатию гиж-бадабанги қулоғига чалинар экан, қўлида кишани ҳар силкинишдан занг урганида тўймисан тўйни эсларди у. |
| This was not the Emir’s first marriage feast: on this occasion the Emir and his people were beginning a three-day celebration, instead of the customary longer celebrations. | Бу тўй Амирул-муслимийнинг биринчи тўйи эмас, шу боис бўйи ўртадан жичча пастроқ, бироқ савлатдор Амирнинг ўзи ҳам, халойиқ ҳам уч кунлик хашамат тараддудида ўз тадоригини кўрмоқда. |

Hands cuffed, elbows gripped, Abdulla was taken down a dark staircase into the building’s basement. In one of the niches, by the dim light of the caged paraffin lamp, a swarthy Russian stuck his hands under Abdulla’s gown and poked in all his pockets, pulling out everything to the last penny, and then, after feeling his trousers, removed his thick leather belt. ‘Sign this!’ he barked, holding out a piece of paper. Abdulla gestured to his handcuffed wrists. ‘Well, scribbler,’ the guard laughed, ‘you’ve had your itchy little |
Қўлида кишани билан Абдуллани қоронғу бинонинг қоронғу зиналари бўйлаб қоронғу ертўласига судрашди. Ертўланинг бир хонасида темир катакка илинган жинчироқ остида пешанаси кетга кетган бир барзангидек ўрис Абдулланинг чопони остига қўлини тиқиб, чўнтакларини кавлаб, сариқ чақагача бор пулини йиғиб олди-да, сўнг иштонига ёпишиб, ултон қамарини ечди. “Мана бунга имзо чек!” – деб бир парча қоғозни узатар экан, Абдулла қўлидаги кишанга имо қилган эди: “Ҳа, ёзувчишка, қичиган қўлларинг қисқарибди-да!” - деб тиззасига оғир ўтиги билан тепган эди, қимтилаб Абдулла чидаб бўлмас оғриқдан икки эгилди. “Тишла энди ручкани!” - деб ўшқирди бу бандибон жаллод. |

His father was right when he said that a man can be in thrall to devils, especially if he is a writer. You have only to set to work to be gripped by your plans and inventions, and everything else seems vanity, triviality, a distraction. Over the last month Abdulla had covered reams of paper, having told himself: If I can sit down on my own this winter, I will finish writing the novel. And now all those hopes had been dashed. The Tatar NKVD man had found the manuscript, stuffed it in the only suitcase in the house, and taken it |
Чиндан ҳам отаси айтмиш, жин босар экан, ёзувчи одамни. Ишга киришдингми – зикру хаёлинг ана ўша тўқимада, қолгани - фақат алахсиш, фақат чалғишдек туюлар экан. Ўтган ой ичида анча-мунча қоғозларни қоралаб қўйди Абдулла, айтмовдими: “Шу қиш узлат қилиб ўтирсам, қиссани ёзиб битказаман” - деб. Афсус, ишнинг белига от тепди. Анави анди татар топган қўлёзмасини уйдаги биттаю битта жомадонга босиб, ўзи билан олиб келди. Ўқирмикан барини? Эскичага кўзи ўтармикан? Ё яна ўзининг қора кўзларидан ёллаб, уларга ўқитармикан? |
