Where the text names them
میخطویلهای که به دیوار کوبیده شده جای ننوی من و زنم بوده و شاید بعدها هم وزن بچههای دیگر را متحمل شده است.
A large stable nail driven into the wall was the place for the cradle of me and my wife, and perhaps afterward it too bore the weight of other children.
اینها رابطهٔ من با دنیای خارجی بود. اما از دنیای داخلی، فقط دایهام و یک زن لکاته برایم مانده بود.
These were my connections with the outer world. But of the inner world, only my nurse and a harlot woman remained to me.
چون نه تنها من و زنم خویش و قوم نزدیک بودیم بلکه ننهجون هردومان را با هم شیر داده بود.
for not only were my wife and I close relatives, but Naneh-Joon had nursed both of us together.
مادر او بود که مثل مادرم دوستش داشتم و برای همین علاقه بود که دخترش را به زنی گرفتم.
It was her mother whom I loved like my own mother, and it was because of this affection that I took her daughter as my wife.
بهرحال، من بچهٔ شیرخوار بودم که در بغل همین ننهجون گذاشتندم، و ننهجون دختر عمهام، همین زن لکاتهٔ مرا هم شیر میداده است.
In any case, I was a nursing infant when they placed me in the arms of this same Naneh-Joon, and Naneh-Joon was also nursing my aunt’s daughter, this very harlot of a wife of mine.
و من زیردست عمهام، آن زن بلندبالا که موهای خاکستری روی پیشانیش بود، در همین خانه با دخترش ـ همین لکاته ـ بزرگ شدم.
And I grew up under the care of my aunt, that tall woman with gray hair upon her forehead, in this same house with her daughter—this same harlot.
بهقدری او را دوست داشتم که دخترش ـ همین خواهر شیری خودم ـ را بعدها چون شبیه او بود بهزنی گرفتم.
I loved her so much that later I married her daughter—my own milk-sister—because she resembled her.
فقط یکبار این دختر خودش را بهمن تسلیم کرد. هیچوقت فراموش نخواهم کرد. آنهم سر بالین مادر مردهاش بود.
Only once did this girl give herself to me. I shall never forget it. And that was at the bedside of her dead mother.
خواستم دستش را ببوسم و از اطاق خارج شوم، ولی رویم را که برگردانیدم با تعجب دیدم همین لکاته که حالا زنم است وارد شد
I wanted to kiss her hand and leave the room, but when I turned I saw, to my surprise, that this same harlot who is now my wife entered
من بیاختیار او را در آغوش کشیدم و بوسیدم، ولی در این لحظه پردهٔ اطاق مجاور پس رفت و شوهر عمهام ـ پدر همین لکاته ـ قوزکرده و شالگردن بسته وارد اتاق شد.
Involuntarily I embraced and kissed her, but at that moment the curtain of the adjoining room was drawn aside and my aunt’s husband—the father of this same harlot—entered the room, hunchbacked and wearing a scarf.
برای خاطر همین لکاته شاید این کار را جور کرده بود تا مجبور بشوم او را بگیرم.
Perhaps for the sake of this very harlot he had arranged it so that I would be forced to marry her.
با وجود اینکه خواهر برادر شیری بودیم، برای اینکه آبروی آنها بهباد نرود مجبور بودم که او را بهزنی اختیار کنم.
Although we were milk-brother and milk-sister, so that their honor would not be lost I was obliged to take her as my wife.
