1. Jack u l-Feġġ tal-Ġgant

    Jack and the Beanstalk

  2. Darba kien hemm armla fqira li kellha iben wieħed jismu Jack.

    Once upon a time there was a poor widow who had an only son named Jack.

  3. Kienu tant foqra li darba kellhom ibiegħu l-baqra tagħhom.

    They were so poor that one day they had to sell their cow.

  4. Omm Jack bagħtu s-suq biex ibiegħha.

    Jack's mother sent him to the market to sell it.

  5. Fit-triq, Jack iltaqa' ma' raġel qadim li tah ħames fażola maġiċi bi skambju mal-baqra.

    On the way, Jack met an old man who gave him five magic beans in exchange for the cow.

  6. Meta Jack reġa' lura d-dar bil-fażola minflok bil-flus, ommu kienet irrabjata ħafna.

    When Jack returned home with beans instead of money, his mother was very angry.

  7. Hi rmiethom mill-ħieqa u bagħtet lil Jack jorqod bla ċena.

    She threw them out the window and sent Jack to bed without dinner.

  8. Filgħodu, Jack ħares barra u ra li l-fażola kibret u saret feġġ enormi.

    In the morning, Jack looked outside and saw that the beans had grown and become a huge beanstalk.

  9. Dan intefa' 'l fuq u 'l fuq, fil-bogħod fis-sema.

    It reached up and up, far into the sky.

  10. Jack tela' fuq il-feġġ sal-quċċata, fejn sab kastell kbir.

    Jack climbed up the beanstalk to the top, where he found a large castle.

  11. Martu tal-ġgant kienet tgħix hemm.

    The giant's wife lived there.

  12. Jack talab xi ħaġa x'jiekol, u hija tathielu bil-qalb ħobż u ħalib.

    Jack asked for something to eat, and she kindly gave him bread and milk.

  13. Iżda dalwaqt il-ġgant wasal d-dar, jgħajjat:

    But soon the giant arrived home, shouting:

  14. "Fee-fi-fo-fum! Inħoss riħa ta' bniedem!"

    "Fee-fi-fo-fum! I smell the scent of a human!"

  15. Il-mara ħbiet lil Jack fil-forn.

    The woman hid Jack in the oven.

  16. Wara l-ikla tiegħu, il-ġgant għadd il-muniti tad-deheb tiegħu u mbagħad raqad.

    After his meal, the giant counted his gold coins and then went to sleep.

  17. Jack ħareġ bil-mod, ħa borża deheb, u niżel il-feġġ lejn ommu.

    Jack quietly came out, took a bag of gold, and went down the beanstalk to his mother.

  18. Id-deheb ma damx, għalhekk Jack tela' l-feġġ mill-ġdid.

    The gold did not last long, so Jack climbed the beanstalk again.

  19. Din id-darba seraq tiġieġa li tagħmel bajd tad-deheb.

    This time he stole a hen that lays golden eggs.

  20. Il-ġgant qam u gergir, iżda Jack kien diġà jinżel bit-tiġieġa maġika.

    The giant woke up and grumbled, but Jack was already climbing down with the magic hen.

  21. Darba terza tela' Jack.

    A third time Jack went up.

  22. Ħeba ruħu fil-kastell u stenna.

    He hid himself in the castle and waited.

  23. Din id-darba seraq arpa maġika li kienet tkanta waħedha.

    This time he stole a magic harp that sang by itself.

  24. Iżda l-arpa għajtet:

    But the harp cried out:

  25. "Sidi! Sidi!"

    "Master! Master!"

  26. u l-ġgant qam u talab wara Jack sal-feġġ.

    and the giant woke up and chased after Jack to the beanstalk.

  27. Jack niżel kemm felaħ u għajjat:

    Jack climbed down as fast as he could and shouted:

  28. "Omm, ejja bl-mannara!"

    "Mother, come with the axe!"

  29. Malli wasal fl-art, aqta' l-feġġ bil-qawwa kollha li kellu.

    As soon as he reached the ground, he chopped down the beanstalk with all the strength he had.

  30. Il-feġġ il-kbir waqa' bil-ħoss u l-ġgant waqa' miegħu u qatt ma deher aktar.

    The great beanstalk fell with a crash, and the giant fell with it and was never seen again.

  31. Jack u ommu kienu issa sinjuri, bil-borża tad-deheb, bit-tiġieġa li tagħmel bajd tad-deheb, u bl-arpa li tkanta.

    Jack and his mother were now rich, with the bag of gold, the hen that lays golden eggs, and the singing harp.

  32. U għexu ferħanin għal dejjem.

    And they lived happily ever after.
