You arrived in Norway in 1996 – a small family seeking security and protection, refugees from the Kurdistan region of Iraq.
- Dere var en liten familie da dere kom til Norge, for trygghet og beskyttelse, som flyktninger fra Kurdistan-regionen i Irak 1996.

Dear family, friends, mourners, and members of the Labour Youth League,
Kjære familie, etterlatte, venner og sørgende, kjære AUF’ere,
You arrived in Norway in 1996 – a small family seeking security and protection, refugees from the Kurdistan region of Iraq.
Dere var en liten familie da dere kom til Norge, for trygghet og beskyttelse, som flyktninger fra Kurdistan-regionen i Irak 1996.
Now you have suffered the most meaningless, distressing and brutal loss imaginable – here with us in peaceful Norway.
Nå er dere rammet på det mest meningsløse, opprørende og brutale – her hos oss, i trygge Norge.
Bano is no longer here.
Bano er ikke her.
It is beyond belief.
Det er ikke til å forstå.
In the midst of your grief I hope you can feel that your small family is part of many larger families:
Midt i sorgen – her i dag – skal dere føle at dere i den lille familien er en del av store familier:
And part of the wider Norwegian family.
Og dere er en del av en stor norsk familie.
We are wrapping the strong arms of our community around you.
Vi slår fellesskapets sterke arm om dere.
And we gain consolation and strength from you in your courage and grief, in Beyan’s words to a whole nation: “The answer is not hatred, but more love.”
Og vi henter styrke og kraft nettopp fra dere som er både modige og sørgende – i mamma Beyans ord til en hel nasjon og en hel verden: ”Svaret er ikke hat – men mer kjærlighet”.
Utøya is still out there in the Tyrifjorden lake, shrouded in silence after the atrocities of last Friday.
I dag ligger Utøya der i Tyrifjorden, innhyllet i den fryktelige udåden fra forrige fredag.
Now Bano’s generation is speaking out loud and clear – and your message is resonating throughout the political sphere and the whole nation, across every imaginable dividing line: We will take Utøya back!
Nå sier Banos generasjon høyt og tydelig – og deres vilje vinner gjenklang i en politisk bevegelse og i en hel nasjon på tvers av alle skillelinjer: Vi vil ta Utøya tilbake!
We know that this will be a long process.
Vi vet at det vil bli en lang vei.
We will take back Utøya’s paths, open spaces and beaches gradually and sensitively.
Og vi skal trå varsomt for å vinne tilbake Utøyas stier, enger og strender.
Bano reflected all of this, and she played a prominent part in this year’s camp – the camp I met when I went to Utøya on Thursday 21 July, a day of sunshine, the day before the attack, when Utøya was everything Utøya should be.
Bano var alt dette – og hun var med på å prege årets sommerleir – slik jeg så den i mitt møte med Utøya, torsdag 21. juli, soldagen, dagen før terroren, da Utøya var alt det Utøya vil være.
Bano properly understood the concept of democracy, and knew that she shared responsibility for Norway’s future.
Bano forsto demokratiets idé og visste at Norges fremtid også var opp til henne.
She was also interested in the big issues.
Hun tok tak i de store spørsmålene.
Gender equality was one of the most important.
Likestilling var blant de viktigste.
Here she was following in Gro Harlem Brundtland’s footsteps – Gro, who was her political model.
Der fulgte Bano i Gro Harlem Brundtlands fotspor – Gro, hennes politiske forbilde.
She is left with a deep impression after meeting Bano last Friday.
Hun har sterke inntrykk fra møtene med Bano sist fredag.
She told me about a conversation with Bano and six other girls on Utøya.
Hun fortalte fra en samtale hun hadde med henne og seks andre jenter på Utøya.
Just as Gro literally stepped into hers.
Ja, slik Gro gladelig fylte hennes.
Bano is no longer with us.
Bano er ikke her.
We find that we are getting to know and to love the people who are now being laid to rest.
Vi opplever å bli kjent med – og glad i – mennesker vi er med å gravlegge.
Their personalities have touched us and inspired us – after they were so brutally torn from us.
De berører oss, vekker og inspirerer oss – og det etter at de ble tatt i fra oss.
They will join the ranks of their political movement as pioneers for a better future.
De vil gå inn i sin politiske bevegelses rekker av pionerer.
In this way, she will continue to shape Nesodden, Norway and the world.
Sånn vil hun fortsatt være med på å forme Nesodden, Norge og verden.
May Bano Rashid rest in peace.
Jeg lyser fred over Bano Rashids minne.
