English-Finnish translations for martyr

marttyyriDelara Darabi on jälleen uusi uskonnollisen fanaattisuuden marttyyri, kuten niin monet muut, joiden teloituksen olemme tässä parlamentissa tuominneet. Delara Darabi is yet another martyr of religious fanaticism, like so many others whose execution we have denounced in this House. Näin ollen meidän on taisteltava lujasti terrorismia vastaan, mutta pyrittävä myös luomaan oikeutta, toivoa ja taloustoimintaa maahan, josta on tullut vuosia kestäneen sodan marttyyri. We therefore need to fight hard against terrorism but also strive to bring justice, hope and economy to a country that has become a martyr to years of war. Kun kuuntelen Trakatellisia, minulle tulee mieleen, mitä marttyyri Jan Huss sanoi nähdessään ihmisten kasaavan risukimppuja polttaakseen hänet kuoliaaksi. When I hear Trakatellis I am reminded of what the martyr Jan Huss said when he saw people piling up the faggots to burn him to death.
