Translation of "ewlieni" into English

Is-sigurtà hija tħassib ewlieni u kontinwu u għandhom jiġu adottati arranġamenti xierqa biex tiġi żgurata s-sigurtà.

Security is a prime and continuing concern and appropriate arrangements to ensure security should be adopted.

Imma hawnhekk, f’sitwazzjoni taʼ ħajja jew mewt, it-tħassib ewlieni taʼ kulħadd hu li jsalva ruħu, u jinsa lill-oħrajn.

But here, in a situation of life and death, everybody’s first concern is to save himself, forgetting about the others.
