Obama's Noruz Message

[Brian Mahoney]

Here's Obama's Noruz message from a while ago along with my attempt to translate it. I wrote down the many, many words I had to look up and circled the ones I couldn't figure out. I feel like the first 1/3 or so of it I could get for the most part, but once I got past that it seemed like I had to look up almost every word unfortunately. This made it a little disappointing, but I'm still pretty happy that in the end I was able to more or less figure most of it out. It's good to know that given a text and the resources I have readily available I can pretty much figure out what something means, considering this is a relatively high level of the language compared with most of what I have dealt with.
