şapağatçı bolurğa

/ʃapaʁattʃɯ bolurʁa/

Literal translation

to be an intercessor

Of a deceased child: to plead for a parent in the afterlife so that the parent's sins are wiped away; used as a religious condolence wish.

Qayğı söz bere kelgenle da: «Şapağatçı bolsun, Allah qalğanlarığızğa jaşaw bersin», – desele da, qulağına: «Annya, ol sen urğan jayağım awruydu», – degença eşitiledi.Even when those who came to offer condolences said, "May the child intercede for you, may Allah grant life to the rest of you," it sounded in her ear like: "Mother, the cheek you struck hurts."
