Maşallah, em hatin baxçe digên de, erdê digên de. Mashallah, we came through the gardens, through the lands.
Yanî maşallah gundekî pir zengîn e bi milk û malê xwe. Meaning mashallah, it's a very rich village with its property and wealth.
Erê lê, tiştekî heye, endarê me Sefel bû. Yes indeed, there is something, our area was [called] Sefel.
Hebo sed û bîst hektar bû, gî Kurzêlê kirî. It was 120 hectares, all of Kurzêlê bought it.
Çimkî yekî Ereb kirî, jî pênc, şeş-heft hektar hebû me çû... Because an Arab bought it, there were also five, six or seven hectares, we went...
...nehişt, çû ji wî jî kirî. ...[we] didn't let it go, went and bought from him too.
Me nehişt Erebek têkeve. We didn't let an Arab enter [buy land].
Gî Kurmanc, gî Kurzêlê kirî. All Kurds, all of Kurzêlê bought it.
Erê, ez hatim, ez derbasî gund bûm, min balê xwe dayê. Yes, I came, I entered the village, I paid attention.

Bes em muhtacê dimra bin, cem pênc sed metre dere, cem loyê min û derê erdê min û derê hemû biderê. But if we need pipes, it's 500 meters away, near my place and my land and all around.
Ba'dî mektebê. After the school.
Pir bi bereket e maşallah. It is very blessed, mashallah.
Xalê Ehmed em niha çîkê... emê ker ser gundê Kurzêlê tiştek bipirsin. Uncle Ahmed, we now... we will ask something about the village of Kurzêlê.
Bi pirse. Ask.
Çîkê ji me ra, em bi hevra xeber din. Speak a bit for us, let's talk together.
Vê gundê Kurzêlê, dora çiqas mal e gundê Kurzêlê? This village of Kurzêlê, around how many houses is Kurzêlê village?
Gundê Kurzêlê şeş sed mal e. Kurzêlê village is six hundred houses.
Teqrîben ya sê kêm in, pênc zêde ne, teqrîben wa pênc sed... Approximately, either three less or five more, approximately five hundred [sic]...
Dora şeş sed mal e. Around six hundred houses.
Şeş sed mal e. Six hundred houses.
Û niha ecêr jî tê girtin? And now is it considered filled/closed [with new buildings]?
Erê lê, tê girtin lê, erê no, no, no. Yes indeed, it's filled, yes no, no, no.
Gundî me çiqas li Efrîn girtin, nikanin xişkê xwe deynin li vî derî. Our villagers occupied so much in Afrin, they can't even put their sticks here [due to crowding].
Li vî derî bicî dikin, der dikin yanê. They settle here, they expand here.
No no rinda. No no, it's good.
Gundê Kurzêlê çiqas salin hatiye avakirin? How many years ago was Kurzêlê village built?
Wextê bavê te, bavê te zane. [Like] the time of your father, your father knows.
Bes pirr, cimecê xêr e. But very [old], it's a place of bounty.
Yek xanîk di orta gund da qan tirmê hebû. There was a house in the middle of the village, it had old ruins/tombs.
Yekî Ermenî de hat. An Armenian came.
Ermenî tenûr dikir erdê, bi vî... bi wî dirêj. The Armenian would put the tandoor in the ground, with this... with that tall one.
Û bi wî kumî. And with that hat.
Wek sedefa gil rakibandin bûn. They were embedded like clay shells.
Ew dikabû ku virik. That one would dig/occupy over there.
Û têda hunekî molek molek çêkirin. And in there, they built some sort of individual homes.
Sal bi sal dihat, ew derê ziyaretî dikir. Year by year he would come, he would visit that place.
Û kaniya me jî, ê Romê ye, kevn e kevn e. And our spring too, it's Roman, it's ancient, ancient.
Pir kevn e, kes nizane çi wextî hatiye çêkirin. Very ancient, no one knows what time it was built.
Li vî derê, esasî vî gundî... In this place, the foundation of this village...
Berê digotin Malê Kelêvçak. Before, they used to say the House of Kelêvçak.
Kelêvçak. Kelêvçak.
Malê Kelêvçak. House of Kelêvçak.
Malê Bilolê heye, Malê Kelêvçak heye. There is the House of Bilol, there is the House of Kelêvçak.
Hûnêm şekil da gund şeş heft taîfe ne. Look, in the village there are six or seven sects/clans.
Yanî her yek jinek jê anîne, em jî ji bê ne o hatine. Meaning each one brought a wife from somewhere, we also came from outside.
Ee Malê Kelêvçak jî berê ji Xersanê bûn, li kû bûn? Uh, the House of Kelêvçak were originally from Khorasan, or where were they?
Li vî derê vî gundî şêxulbetî ye, Efrîn da wiha, li vî der nuh hatin. In this place, this village is... in Afrin like that, they came here newly.
Malê Şîfê, ew kevn bû. The House of Shifê, that was old.
Ew jî hebû. That existed too.
Malê me jî berê li jor bûn, çend sal bûn? Our house [family] was also up top before, how many years was it?
Teqrîben sed çend salin em jêr da ketine jêr. Approximately a hundred and some years since we came down.
Gundê Kurzêlê karê xwe pir çi radibin? Bi çi karî pir radibin? Mêrekê gund û xurtê gund... The village of Kurzêlê, what work do they mostly do? With what work are they occupied? The men of the village and the youth of the village...
Çi kar, çi bistan, diyalî wada pir dinakê? Niha û berê? Wa çi kar pir radibîn? What work, what orchards, do they plant a lot in the valleys? Now and before? What work do you do mostly?
Berê cem me yex, ye... erd bi hesî bûn. Before, with us... the land was rock/fallow.
Av pir bû. Water was plentiful.
Ê xêr û xêrat pir bû. And bounty and charity were plentiful.
Îsot cem me tonan dadan, bacan, xiyar, me diçanda. Peppers yielded tons for us, eggplants, cucumbers, we planted them.
Efsûn bila me nekira ji erd xelas dibû. Even if we didn't do magic/effort, it would finish from the ground [yield abundantly].
Tişteke ecêb bû. It was a strange thing.
Ê noka jî, ye erd gî bûne dar e û... And now too, the land has all become trees and...
Ti wa tiştî jî diçînî na ne çê. If you plant those things, they don't grow well.
Na ne çê, na ne çê. They don't grow, they don't grow.
Kêmdin, na çê. They are less, they don't grow well.
Wek leyo kîjan dibûn. Like the ones that used to be.
Êtimadî wa gî niha ser bîstên e. All your reliance is now on orchards.
Gî ser bîstên e. All on orchards.
Ser bîstên e. On orchards.
Be'dî rehme xwedê, li ser bîstên e. After God's mercy, it is on the orchards.
Ser bîstên e. On orchards.
Xwedê risqê we bişîne. May God send your sustenance.
Ê we jî bişîne inşallah, umeta Muhemmed, hewa jî, ya me jî bişîne. And send yours too God willing, the Ummah of Muhammad, the weather too, and send ours too.
Bofkê men, hewa pê fîşek çêdikirin, hefcar çêdikirin. My grandfather, here they made bullets, they made excavations/jars.
Gumbet û nav û derş û ana çêdikirin. They built domes and [names?] and threshing floors and such.
Hev jî, ê nîr e, nîr. That too, it is a yoke, a yoke.
Ê nîrî ser ewî dewer e. The yoke on that beast of burden.
Pê çêdikirin, me'neyê geha difirdoyê da derne qawîş bûn. They made it with that, meaning when the place collapsed, inside came out barracks.
Xwe digotin qawîş û xeneqe. They called them barracks and stifling places [prison/trench].
Wekî çiva, çiva. Like caves, caves.
Aywa temam, wek çiva. Yes exactly, like caves.
Hevê dîn jî sîrge bû. The other one was a prison/exile.
Av... This...
Hev turesol cem min maye. This heritage remains with me.
Heva pê fîşek çêdikirin. Yes.
Heva pê fîşek çêdikirin. They made bullets with this.
Û qapê û pencere û der çêdikirin. And they made gates and windows and doors.
Yanî alata xwe temam bû, belê pir hebu, tiştî me pir hebû. Meaning their tools were complete, yes there was a lot, we had many things.
Ê deha tiştê me jî winda bûn, hev jî min ji cem xwe hiştiye, heva turasî kevn e, kevn e. And more of our things got lost, this too I kept with me, this is ancient heritage, ancient.
Heva pir kevn e, dora çiqas sal e umrê gund Xalê Ehmed? Kê ni bêjî mera xeber de. This is very ancient, around how many years is the age of the village Uncle Ahmed? Who can tell us, speak.
Ê vê, heva esasen, esasen pir kevn, pir kevn e. Uh this, this is fundamentally, fundamentally very ancient, very ancient.
Li rehmetî bofî me va bi xwe çêkir. My late grandfather made this himself.
Û bi xwe tatbîq kir, teqrîben umrê vê... And applied/used it himself, approximately the age of this...
Yanî ez bawerim sed sal heye. Meaning I believe it is a hundred years old.
Sed sal. A hundred years.
Lê umrê bofkê min rehmetî sed û nûh du pênc rehmetî bû. Indeed the age of my late grandfather was a hundred and ninety-five [sic] late one.
Berî bizewice, bi sî salî, sî û pênc sala jî bêre daketine vî derê. Before he married, at thirty years, thirty-five years before, they came down to this place.
Erê. Yes.
Tişkî pir rind e, xwedê ji we razî be. It is a very good thing, may God be pleased with you.
Sax bî, ehlen we sehlen. Be well, welcome.

Tu kesekî te heye te bîrê kirî? Dost, ehbab, te jêj ne dîtiye? Tu kênî silav kê? Is there anyone you miss? Friends, loved ones, whom you haven't seen? Can you greet them?
Ehlen we sehlen, silavê min ji giyan ra hene. Welcome, I have greetings for everyone.

Û Xwedê hevalê giya be. And God be friend of all.
Û Xwedê Kurda bixefirîne. And may God save the Kurds.
Amîn ya reb. Amen oh Lord.
Em bêrdest in. Xalas bi çû. We are powerless. It's finished.
Erê. Yes.
E wekî din çi bixwaza me diye. Otherwise what you wanted we saw.
Elê ez mezin im. Hey I am old.
Tengî jî we dî, we sîfîlî jî dî, we tengî jî dî, we ferxeleqî jî dî... You saw hardship, you saw misery, you saw hardship, you saw ease...
Û dîsa welle elhemdila em ji noka kêftir bûn. And again well praise God we were happier than now.
Xweş bû berê em... It was good before we...
Erê, erê, xweş bû welle yorim. Yes, yes, it was good well my child.
Ma gi kar dikir. We did all work.
Ma av ji kaniyê dikişand, bi serê xwe. We pulled water from the spring, on our heads.
Û ma tanî li vêderê kelkuş dikir ser êgir. And we brought it here, boiled it on the fire.
Ma kincê xwe jî dişûştin xesare tine bûn. We washed our clothes too, there were no washing machines.
Heftera bûn. It was weekly.
Puşta... ma kincê xwe bi gup avê pak, delal dişûştin. Back... we washed our clothes with plenty of water, clean, lovely.
Ma dar dikir... e... bin qazana... We put wood... uh... under the cauldrons...
Heta êvarê ava kaniyê qet kêm nedibû? Until evening did the spring water ever decrease?
Na, na qet... ava kaniyê me he bû, kanî bû. No, no never... our spring water existed, it was a spring.
Çiqas gundê me hebû, barja ne wana pir bû werî. However much our village was, the load wasn't that much like that.
Çûçik bû berê. It was small before.
Çûçik bû, bes hew ev hûr ta bû. It was small, just this little bit.
E din hew no ha, gi zêde bûn e. Uh the other just not like that, all increased.
Welle ma giya li mal dişûşt, kes ma neçûn dera kinca neşûştin. Well we washed all at home, no one went outside to wash clothes anymore.
Û heyat wena derbas bû. And life passed like that.
Heyat rind bû. Life was good.
Hele elhemdila rind bû. Indeed praise God it was good.
Ma cer... ha... canim... ma dida tanî... We carried jars... ha... my soul... we brought...
Gî şelil mezin. All big vessels.
Ma gil ber avê dişûşt. We washed all at the water.
Û ma hew germa germ heş dikir. And we loved that hot heat.
Û ma gi diherîn, ma erbat diherîn her dev pênc jina ma şixûlek dikir. And we all went, we went in groups of four, every five women we did a work.
Kulfet hebû maşela. There was a large family mashallah.
Pirr bi, hûrik bîn... Many were, small were...
Tu xêr hatî ser çava. You are welcome upon my eyes.
Hatina we, hatina xêrê be, xwedê we bihêle. May your coming be a blessed coming, may God keep you.
Çar in canim, sê li dervane, sê na? There are four, my dear, three are abroad, three, right?
Çarê malê li derva ne. The four of the house are abroad.
Du... kulfetên xwe tînin... Two... they bring their wives...
Ew jî elhemdu lillah, ew hane cîwar bûne, elhemdu lillah em jî razî ne, Xwedê ji te razî be. They too, thank God, they are settled there, thank God we are satisfied, may God be satisfied with you.
Sihet a te xweş e? Is your health good?
Wele gava hûn tên sihet a me xweş e. Well, when you come, our health is good.
Xwedê sihet a te xweş bike. May God make your health good.
Sihet a te xweş, em pir kêfxweş bûn, Xwedê iştira ji te bike, te em dîtin, te li me pirsî. Health to you, we were very happy, may God protect you, you saw us, you asked about us.
Tiştek tinne qurban, lawê xalê ye. It is nothing, sacrifice, [I am] the son of the maternal uncle.
Sihet a we xweş. Health to you.
Heta em sax bin... As long as we are alive...
Heta em hebin înşallah, heta em hebin, înşallah mileta xwe xizmet bikin. As long as we exist, God willing, as long as we exist, God willing serve your people.
Înşallah, ser çava. God willing, upon eyes [with pleasure].
Înşallah hûn serketi bin, elhemdu lillah tîm şaî be. God willing you will be successful, thank God may the team be happy.
Saxbî, inşallah serkeftî be. Be alive [thank you], God willing may it be successful.
Serkeftî... hûn min ne xapînin? Successful... are you not tricking me?
Na, em rind digrin. No, we are recording/taking it well.
Rind digrin ka? Are you recording well?
Ma ne wa ye? Na, min. Isn't it like that? No, me.
Ma ne wa ye, na min. Isn't it like that, no me.
Du heb li wê derê ne. There are two over there.
Ehlena w sehlen. Welcome.
Ez... elhemdu lillah... I... thank God...
Mamoste Yûsiv Xelîl Ebdurehman. Teacher Yûsiv Xelîl Ebdurehman.
Sal a heftê û yekê, hezar û nehsed û heftê û yekê bekeloriyaya me bir. In the year seventy-one, one thousand nine hundred and seventy-one we got the baccalaureate.
Heftê û şeşê... xercî cem'a fîzya kîmya. Seventy-six... graduate of the university for Physics and Chemistry.
Û halîyen jî em mutaqa'id in. And currently we are retired.
Mewalîdê min hezar û nehsed û pêncî û şeş e, yanî heftê û pênc sal in teqrîben. My birth year is one thousand nine hundred and fifty-six, meaning seventy-five years approximately.
De emrê dirêj da te. May He give you a long life.
Allah yiselmek, Allah yiselmek. God save you, God save you.
Û ji gundê xwe jî derneketin. And we didn't leave our village either.
Elhemdu lillah. Thank God.
Welehî xwesteka me ew e, heger em ê bimrin, em ê di hewşa xwe de bimrin, û heger Xwedê kî emrekî me da, em ê dîsa di hewşa xwe de rabin rûnin. By God, our wish is this, if we are to die, we will die in our courtyard, and if God gives us a lifespan, we will again stand and sit in our courtyard.
Yanî hewa hedefa me ya esasî bû di sewre da. Meaning that was our main goal in the revolution.
Bavê Wehîd, navê me Xelîl e, ji gundê Ebadîno, eser û nîşandarê gundê Kurzêlê, gundê Kurzêlê, me'rûf bi teybeta xwe, bi hezkirina xwe. Father of Wahid, our name is Khalil, from the village of Abadino, the monument and sign of the village of Kurzêlê, the village of Kurzêlê, known for its kindness, for its love.
Bi zîraeta xwe, maşallah, yolî we da pirr in, bîstanên we pirr in, avê we heye. For its agriculture, Mashallah, the lands around you are many, your orchards are many, you have water.
Em pir kêfxweş bûn em derbasî gundê Kurzêlê bûn, niha jî em derbasî cem te bûn, em çend pirsa pirs kin ser gundê Kurzêlê. We were very happy to pass through the village of Kurzêlê, and now we passed by you, so we can ask a few questions about the village of Kurzêlê.
Tijmera xeber de... niha ser niha... û roja xwe çû derbas dibe? Tell us... now upon now... and how does your day pass?
Rewş çawa ye? How is the situation?
Welehî rewşa me, yanî teqrîben... terabê me şibhe aciz in... dernakevin nav gund... By God our situation, meaning approximately... our folks are somewhat upset/incapable... they don't go out in the village...
Yanî exbarên li gund heye çi tüne, ez nabihîsim ewalan. Meaning the news that is in the village, what is there what isn't, I don't hear firstly.
Erê. Yes.
We gidim camiyê, heta nî mal û mal heta nî camiyê. And I go to the mosque, until half home and home until half mosque.
Mutaqa'id im û min camî jî teslîm kirîye. I am retired and I have handed over the mosque too.
Ne destê min e, nedam e, pîra bûbûm. It is not in my hand, I couldn't [do it anymore], I had become old.
Di sala heftê û sisîyan da min teklîf kir xetîbê camiyê bûm. In the year seventy-three I was requested/tasked, I became the preacher of the mosque.
Camî gundî we yek e, bavê Hebîb? Is your village mosque one [the only one], father of Habib?
Yek tenê ye, hezar û nehsed û pêncî û şeşan da, yanî teqrîben ji emrê min da ye. Only one, in one thousand nine hundred and fifty-six, meaning approximately in my lifetime.
Hatîye girtin. It was built.
Hatîye girtin, erê. It was built, yes.
Em kanin navê vê şexsî, e, hatîye girtîye, vê şexs e, e camî girt? Can we [know] the name of this person, uh, who built it, this person, uh, who built the mosque?
Ee, welehî ma yuqal (tê gotin) nûnerên digotin malê Ebdî Hesen? Uh, by God, it is said, the representatives used to say the house of Abdi Hassan?
ewana bina bûn. They were the builders.
Û Şêx Nasir, Allah yerhemo, Henanê Fatê, em vêra digotin Ebû Reşîd. And Sheikh Nasir, God have mercy on him, Henan of Fate, we used to call him Abu Rashid here.
Yanî wana dest dabû ser û no kar dikirin, hingê emrê min pênc salî bî wisa. Meaning they had put their hand on it and, well, were working, back then my age was five years or so.
[Music] [Music]
Ax serê min dêşe, dayê serê min dêşe. Oh my head hurts, mother my head hurts.
Yarim derdê te çiye, derdê xwe ji min ra bêje. My love what is your pain, tell me your pain.
Ax ne darek min hebû, dayê darek min hebû. Oh I had a tree, mother I had a tree.
Li orta hewşê me bû, li orta hewşê me bû. It was in the middle of our courtyard, it was in the middle of our courtyard.
Li kevîya sewkê bû, li kevîya sewkê bû. It was on the edge of the vegetable bed, it was on the edge of the vegetable bed.
Ax min xizmet dikir, bi dan û nanê xwe bû. Oh I served it, it was with my own sustenance and bread.
Bi ronîya çava bû, bi ronîya çava bû. It was with the light of the eyes, it was with the light of the eyes.
Medrese... The school...
Tebe'en ehalî berî giya pê rabûn, du xurfe girtin. Of course the locals before everyone stood up for it, they built two rooms.
Paşê terbîye hat ser temam kir. Then the Education [Ministry] came and completed it.
Dîsa birêkê... mi bêtîbara min, heta midîrê terbîye manî veda, îce m'ezam da... hew kir. Again at one time... I, with my credit, until the director of education put a ban, made it difficult... stopped it.
Ne semahan (îzin)... jimara, û hetta noka memnû'e ku du qata li rîf bigrin. Not allowed... for us, and even now it is forbidden to build two floors in the countryside.
Îce me du izin me bir. So we got two permissions.
Tebe'en birêkê wasta û dera me... bir. Of course at one time with connections and doors we... got it.
Wexta gemonî (?) vê derê, hatin me mihawele kirin, gotin erd teberru bikin... saheka camîyê, pêşîya camîyê. When the [Committee/Municipality?] came here, they tried, they said donate land... a yard for the mosque, in front of the mosque.
Me go emê saheyê bidin. We said we will give the yard.
Wan şûna mektebê bimedin, razî nebûn. They give [land] instead of the school, they didn't agree.
Em mûdter bûn (neçar), me da, em hatin midîrê terbîye derxist. We were forced, we gave, we came and the director of education took it out.
Jimara bi du qata girtin, le'nû hewş teng bû, i'dadîye, berê îbtîdaîyê bû pênc xurfe bûn. For us they built two floors, because the yard was narrow, it's a middle school, before it was primary school there were five rooms.
Paşê me kir e i'dadîye, noka da û du xurfe, i'dadîye girtin. Then we made it a middle school, now ten and two rooms, they built the middle school.
Bavê Hebîb, çiqas rind e wexta însanek kuro bibe mwezef be, bi wezîfê xwe ji milletê xwe re kar bike. Father of Habib, how good it is when a person, man, becomes an employee, and works for his people with his position.
Milletê xwe re kar bike. Work for his people.
Em dixwazin ji milletê xwe re kar bikin. We want to work for our people.
Yanî hewa xwestekek min e, û... Meaning that is a wish of mine, and...
Bîst û sê sal e, bîst û pênc sal e min tedrîs kir. Twenty-three years, twenty-five years I taught.
Min rojekî dewrat nedan. I didn't give courses [private tutoring] for a single day.
Teleb hatin ku dewratê bide... heta du dî dewratê bûn. Students came to give courses... even two gave courses.
Sebeb çîye bavê Hebîb? What is the reason, Father of Habib?
Sebeb çîye, le'nû... eke ê dewrad bidim a... The reason is, because... if I give courses...
Nefsiyet... uslûbê xwe di medresê de buhorim, hew ye ku... The mentality... I would change my style in the school, it becomes that...
Ee di dîtî jî, eger taleba îstixlal kim, 'e maneyê maddî ye, ne fêde jê bibînim. Uh secondly too, if I exploit the student, on a material meaning, I won't see benefit from it.
Ew jî buxwa meksebekî ne helal e. That too, for itself, is not a halal gain.
Xêre, le'nû tê de zilm heye, talib ew dikit... It is good [to abstain], because there is oppression in it, the student does that...
Şexsîyê xatî... ew dikit ferd dikit, yanî... His own personality... he does, individual does, meaning...
Xwe dixwazîye ku tu pera kom kî, bi uslûb xêr şer'î. You want to collect money, with an unethical/non-Sharia style.
Ekîd. Certainly.
Le'nû xêre, ez bi xwe mwezef im, ez haqê xwe dibim. Because it's good [enough], I myself am an employee, I take my due.
Ma xêre ez teqsîrê têxim medresê û herim dewratê bidim teleba, ku haqekî xoy zêde bibim. Why should I slack off in the school and go give courses to students, to take a right [money] that is extra for myself.
Yanî hewa xaytê min a esasî da terbîyê de bûm. Meaning that was my main principle when I was in education.
Ee tewra çêtin yanî, ez dixwazim ku însan xizmeta milletê xwe ke yek. Uh the best way meaning, I want a human to serve his people firstly.
E didîye xizmeta Xwedê xwe ke. And secondly serve his God.
Tirsa Xwedê di dilê te de heba, bila hevdila... ne hişk be, bila nermik be, xizmeta... If the fear of God is in your heart, let there be conscience... don't be harsh, let it be soft, the service...
Hevdu ke, û meraş hevdu hezkirin bike. [Unclear word], and also love each other.
Hezkirin berî gîya ye. Love is before everything.
Berî gîya ye. Însan bi pêş nakeve û dernakeve, îlla bi hezkirinê. Before everything. Human does not progress and does not come out, except with love.
Hezkirin tne bwe şteqe herî nder, mi hiqit terik şot, înan meke gekê pêş kev ma, ew wekî dewletekî çêkime rehmê. Love is the only thing... [if] hatred comes out, don't believe that we will progress, I will make that like a state [of bad things] of mercy.
Belê. Yes.
Û xwendin serekî gîya ye. And reading/education is the head of everything.
Dibê: "Ummatun la taqra', ummatun la malamih laha." It says: "A nation that does not read is a nation that has no features."
Hew însanê ge, ew milletê ge tê de xwendewar kêm in, alimê xwe kêm in, înan meke hewa gekê pêş keve û derkeve hera. That human, that nation where educated people are few, their scholars are few, don't believe that it will progress and come out at all.
Bi ilm em ê pêş kevin, bi ilm alem bi pêş ket û derket. With knowledge we will progress, with knowledge the world progressed and came out.
Erê. Yes.
Belê. Yes.
Em milletê me yê Efrîn em pêşketî ne inşallah. We, our people of Afrin, we are advanced God willing.
Û hînîyê pêşkevin. And still progressing.
Û inşallah hîn xwendewanê me pirr in, muhendisê me hene, muhamîyê me hene, duxtorê me hene. And God willing our students are many, we have engineers, we have lawyers, we have doctors.
Inşallah hîn hê çêbibin û hîn serkeftî bin. God willing even more will be made and will be even more successful.
Xwedê zêde bike wana, û... May God increase them, and...
Wekî gotî, em pêş nakevin îlla bi ilm bavê rehmet. As said, we won't progress except with knowledge, father of mercy.
Erê. Yes.
Wexta me bi ilm girt... When we held onto knowledge...
Ilm esasî... Knowledge is fundamental...
Wekî gotîye: "Bi mesihî nêcûx". As it is said: "[Unclear quote]".
Kêfîya dilê xwe em ê pê bigrin, em ê xizmeta telebeyê xwe bikin, belkî em no pêş kevin. We will take the joy of our heart with it, we will serve our students, maybe we will thus progress.
Rubbema muhendîs derkeve, rubbema tebîb derkeve, rubbema hosta derkeve, rubbema ku... muxedir, yanî evê tibê teqdîrê derkeve... yanî mustewsef yan sihî... Perhaps an engineer emerges, perhaps a doctor emerges, perhaps a master craftsman emerges, perhaps an... anesthesiologist, meaning one of anesthesia medicine emerges... meaning a dispensary or health worker...
Yanî ev vana gi xizmetkarê milet e. Em daxwazin însan biqe pêşda û va tiştî pê rabe û xizmeta miletiyê xwe bike, ne xudanê pera be. Meaning all these are servants of the nation. We want the person to advance and take up this cause and serve their nation, not be an owner of money.
Ne xudanê pera be. Nake... la tuaxiznî... muhendisiya me derdikeve, ew diktoriya me derdikeve, difikire ku berî... ka çawa hewşê ezê bikirim, ezê makînê bikirim, ezê nizanim bizewicim... yeke gi xwestekê xwe ne. La bûta... xizmet kir. Not be an owner of money. Now... excuse me... our engineer graduates, our doctor graduates, thinking before everything... how will I buy a house, how will I buy a car, how will I get married... these are all personal desires. There must be... service done.
Û ewê derkeve ji zengîn ẍora ke, welle la... muşahede bike... ewê şehadê xwe teberu'a... welatê xakê me, bajarê xakê me. And he who emerges [should not] enrich himself, by God no... observe this... he [should] donate his certificate... to the land of our soil, the city of our soil.
Te teberu'a bo jorê xakê kir, lîqa pera? You donated for the sake of the soil, in exchange for money?
Me perek dana... ew lewî pêşî. We didn't give money... that [was] the first thing.
Eva xwesteka teqrîben... ne êmê tenê ye, ê milet giş e. Bes welakin dimînin... hidûd. Her tiştek te tecawiz kir hed, me'natu... însan ku... istiẍlal dibe. Teqdîrê xwedê dera. This desire is approximately... not only mine, it's the whole nation's. But however there remain... limits. Everything, [if] you exceed the limit, it means... the human becomes... exploited. It is God's destiny.
Temenê te, tu gotinê te hene ẍeyrî vê? Saeta te xweş be. Long life to you, do you have any words other than this? May your time be happy.
Tu xwesteka te hene, ehlen we sehlen. [If] you have a request, you are welcome.
Welle xêra xwe qehwekî ji mera çêke. By God, please make us a coffee.
Na, sax be welle me pir vexwar. No, thanks, by God we drank a lot.
Zor nake, nake. Tê herî, 'enabê nexweşiyê ji bo xwiye. Don't force it, don't. You will go, the trouble of illness is for yourself.
Na, na, sax be. No, no, thanks.
