Macedonians in Gesta Hungarorum

Gesta Hungarorum

Latin for The Deeds of the Hungarians, a record of early Hungarian history written by an anonimous author

Latin version of the part were the Macedonians are noted:

..."De ciuibus bulgarorum et macedonum

Transactis quibusdam diebus zuard et cadusa cum omni exercitu suo, eleuatis uexillis signiferis aquam danubij transnauigauerunt, et castrum borons ceperunt, deinde ad castrum scereducy iuerunt. Audientes hoc ciues bulgarorum et macedonum, tumerunt ualde a facie eorum. Tunc omnes incole illius miserunt nuntios suos cum donarris multis, ut terram sibi subiugarent, et filios suos in obsides traderunt. Zuard et cadusa paci fauentes et dona et obsides eorum accipientes eos quasi suum proprium populum in pace dimisserunt. Ipsi uero ceperunt ecuitare ultra portam Wacil, et castrum philippi regis ceperunt, deinde totam terram usque ad cleopatram ciuitatem sibi subiugauerunt. Et sub potestate sua habuerunt totam terram a ciuitate durasu usque ad terram rachy. Et zuardu in eadem terra duxit sibi uxorem, et populus ille qui nunc dicitur sobamogera, mortuo duce zuard in grecia remansit. Et ideo dictus est soba secundum grecos id est stultus populus, quia mortuo domino suo uiam non dilexit redire ad patriam suam..."

Hungarian version of the part were the Macedonians are noted:

"...A BOLGÁROK ÉS MACEDÓNOK NÉPEI

Néhány napra rá Szovárd meg Kadocsa egész seregükkel együtt, magasra tartva jellel megjegyzett zászlójukat, átkeltek a Duna vizén, és elfoglalták Barancs várát, majd meg Szeredüc-vár alá vonultak. Mikor a bolgárok és macedónok népei ezt meghallották, erősen megijedtek tőlük. Erre annak a földnek lakosai mindvalahányan elküldötték követeiket sok ajándékkal, hogy a földet hódolva felajánlják, és fiaikat kezesül átszolgáltassák nekik. Szovárd meg Kadocsa békére készen mind az ajándékokat, mind a kezeseket elfogadták, s őket, mint a saját népüket, békében elbocsátották. Maguk pedig továbblovagoltak túl a Vaszil-kapun. Fülöp király várát bevették, majd Kleopátra városáig az egész földet meghódították, s hatalmuk alatt tartottak mindent Durazzó városától egészen Rácföldig. Szovárd ugyanezen a földön vett magának feleséget, és az a nép, melyet most Csaba-magyarjának mondanak, Szovárd vezér halála után Görögországban maradt. Mégpedig a görögök szerint azért mondták csobának, azaz ostoba népnek, mivel urának halála után nem volt kedve útra kelni, hogy hazájába visszatérjen..."

English version of the part were the Macedonians are noted:

"...Of the countrymen [civibus] of the Bulgarians and Macedonians

Some days later, Zuard and Cadusa with their whole army, emblazoned standards aloft, crossed the water of the Danube and captured Barancs [Borons] castle, after which they went to the castle of Scereducy. Hearing this, the countrymen of the Bulgarians and Macedonians feared greatly before them. Then all the inhabitants of that land sent their envoys with many gifts, to surrender the land to them and hand over their sons as hostages. Zuard and Cadusa, inclining to peace and taking their gifts and hostages, left them in peace, as if they were their own people, and riding beyond the Wacil Gate [ultra portam Wacil], they took the castle of King Philip, then they conquered the whole land up to the city of Cleopatra [ad Cleopatram civitatem], and they had in their power the whole land from the city of Durazzo [Durasu] to the land of Rác [ad terram Rachy]. And Zuardu brought his wife to him into that land and the people, who are now called Sobamogera, remained after Duke Zuard’s death in Greece and they were thus called soba by the Greeks, that is stupid people, because with their lord dead they did not take the way home.

Sister Augustine on Macedonia

Sister Augustine Bewicke on the Macedonian autonomy, January 4, 1919!

"St. Paul’s Hospital, Salonika Dear Sir, Please excuse the liberty I take in writing you, it is because the final settlement in the Balkans is of vital interest to the Catholics in these countries. - I have been 33 years in this Mission, the Uniate Catholic Mission, which at the beginning of the Second Balkan War counted about 10,000 Catholics. The Treaty of Bucharest, which divided Macedonia without any regard to justice, was the cause of these poor people being dispersed on account of their Slav language, which was forbidden in Churches and schools. - The Bishop had his residence in Salonika, he has now been in exile more then 3 years, his priests are dispersed, his flock is indeed without pastors, nor do we have any hope of his return to any place under Greek or Serbian rule. - The Greeks will not admit the Slav language in Churches or schools; the inhabitants of Macedonia are in the great majority Slavs; they call themselves Macedonians, and what they desire and what we ardently desire for them is an autonomy under European control. - I whatever way Macedonia might be divided, the people would be always discontented, and would fight again as soon as possible. The only hope I can foresee is in strong autonomy, which neither Greeks nor Bulgars nor Serbs would dare attack; then the Macedonians, who are really intelligent and docile when they are well treated. would peacefully develop this beautiful fertile country… Surely Europe will not leave Macedonia under people whom the Macedonians hate, and whom they will continually fight…"

Битола, мој роден крај

БИТОЛА МОЈ РОДЕН КРАЈ

Битола, мој роден крај,
во тебе сум родена, за мене си рај.

Битола, мој роден крај,
јас те сакам од срце знај.
Битола мој роден крај,
јас те сакам, за тебе пеам.

Многу градови, села јас пројдов,
како тебе мил за мене нигде не најдов.

Битола, мој роден крај,
јас те сакам од срце знај.
Битола мој роден крај,
јас те сакам, за тебе пејам.

Уште како дете по тебе одев боса,
во тебе пораснав граде, јас не сум ти гост.

Битола, мој роден крај,
јас те сакам од срце знај.
Битола мој роден крај,
јас те сакам, за тебе пеам.

Има ли кој, граде мој,
збогум да ти каже, да не заплаче?

Битола, мој роден крај,
јас те сакам од срце знај.
Битола мој роден крај,
јас те сакам, за тебе пеам.
