الله يعافيك يا أهلاً وسهلاً. May God give you health, welcome.
إنت من أبناء بعدنلي، ومهتم بتاريخها. You are one of the sons of Ba'dinli, and interested in its history.
نعم. Yes.
نحن الآن وين واقفين؟ Where are we standing right now?
واقفين في المنطقة البلدة القديمة، أقدم بيوت في بعدنلي، هذا البيت من أقدم البيوت في بعدنلي. We are standing in the old town area, the oldest houses in Ba'dinli, this house is one of the oldest in Ba'dinli.
أقدم بيت، يعني قديش عمره؟ The oldest house, I mean, how old is it?
عمر البيت من 400 سنة. وللوراء يعني حتى التاريخ اللي قبله ما بعرف، بس 400 سنة تحديداً نعرف. The house's age is 400 years. And going further back, I mean even the history before it I don't know, but 400 years specifically we know.
400 سنة. طيب، احكي لي قصة هالضيعة، تاريخها، يعني من وين بدأ؟ 400 years. Okay, tell me the story of this village, its history, I mean, where did it begin?
بدأ تاريخ البعدنلي من 400 سنة، أجدادنا إجوا سكنوا هون من منطقة بهدينان. The history of Ba'dinli began 400 years ago, our ancestors came and settled here from the Bahdinan region.
نعم. Yes.
منطقة بهدينان الواقعة بين حدود إيران وعراق. سبب المجيء إلى هالمنطقة، شح الأمطار ونقص المياه... The Bahdinan region, located on the borders between Iran and Iraq. The reason for coming to this area was the scarcity of rain and lack of water...
بما إنو الإنسان متعود ع الزراعة، وعلى الرعي، فدائماً الإنسان متوجه للمنطقة اللي فيها الكسرة بالمي والزراعة. Since people were accustomed to agriculture and grazing, a person is always drawn to an area with an abundance of water and farming.
بينما هون الأسس اللي انبنى عليها بعدنلي، المنطقة القديمة هون، في عدة عوائل أتوا مع بعضهم، وهي عشيرة الشيخان من منطقة البهدينان. Meanwhile, the foundations on which Ba'dinli was built here, the old area, several families came together, and they are the Shikhan tribe from the Bahdinan region.
نعم، غير الشيخان؟ Yes, anyone other than the Shikhan?
عشيرة الشيخان هي منطقتنا المعروفة، تسكن أو تقطن في 40 قرية ضمن منطقة راجو. The Shikhan tribe is our well-known area, living or residing in 40 villages within the Rajo region.
بعدنلي وحدة من هدول القرى؟ Ba'dinli is one of those villages?
بعدنلي وحدة من هاز القرى. Ba'dinli is one of these villages.
قبل، قبل ما يجوا من بهدينان، ما كان في حدا هون ساكن؟ Before, before they came from Bahdinan, was there anyone living here?
ما، ما كنا نعرف. لجدودنا إجوا، ما قبل هالتاريخ ما بنعرف. We didn't know. Our ancestors came, we don't know anything prior to this date.
ما بتعرف. طيب، هنن كانوا يعني يمتهنون الزراعة ورعي الحيوانات؟ You don't know. Alright, were they practicing agriculture and animal herding?
الزراعة وحيوانات. Agriculture and animals.
زراعة وحيوانات. Agriculture and animals.
زراعة الزيتون، العنب، قبل كان في مي بكثرة، يزرعوا القطن، القمح، الشوندر، كل شيء بالزراعة كانوا يزرعوه بهالمنطقة هون. Farming olives, grapes. Previously, there was plenty of water; they used to plant cotton, wheat, sugar beet. They farmed everything agricultural in this area here.
كان في هون ينابيع مياه؟ Were there water springs here?
كان ينابيع مياه، مثلاً في هون عنا جبل بيسمونه جبل النمر، فيه لحد هلا ينبوع، لحد هلا جارية المي فيها. There were water springs. For example, here we have a mountain called Tiger Mountain, which still has a spring to this day, the water is still flowing in it.
وينابيع بعيدة عنا، نحن بنقول سهل بعدنلي، ينابيع لحد هلا جارية، وكميات وفيرة. And springs far from us, in what we call the Ba'dinli Plain, springs that are still flowing to this day, with abundant quantities.
وفيرة. طيب خليني أسأل، يعني عشيرة الشيخان اللي إجت وسكنت يعني في 40 قرية من قرى راجو، استوطنت هون، هون كان مركز المشيخة تبعها؟ Abundant. Alright, let me ask, the Shikhan tribe that came and settled in 40 villages of the Rajo villages, settling here, was this the center of its sheikhdom?
لا مو ضروري المركز المشيخة، الضرورة إنه هون كانت المي وفيرة، والزراعة، والرعي، نحن بنسميه المرعى للحيوانات، كان هون وفيرة يعني المراعي والخضار والحشيش كله مليء، يعني وفير. No, it wasn't necessarily the center of the sheikhdom. The necessity was that water was abundant here, as well as agriculture, and grazing, what we call pasture for animals; it was abundant here, meaning pastures, greens, and grass were all plentiful, abundant.
أنا معك، بس يعني مركز يعني العشيرة، زعامة العشيرة وين صارت؟ I am with you, but I mean the center of the tribe, where was the leadership of the tribe?
العشيرة كان شيخ الرش آغا، منطقة جوميت. وبعدها تحولت المشيخة إلى كورا أحمد، هو الساكن في بعدنلي... The tribe's sheikh was Al-Rash Agha, in the Jumit area. Then the sheikhdom transferred to Kora Ahmad, who lived in Ba'dinli...
وبعدها خليل بيك استلم المشيخة، وبعدها عزت آغا استلم المشيخة، والآن الموجود خليل، خليل عزت، موجود هو الآغا، المنطقة. ...and then Khalil Bey took over the sheikhdom, and after him, Izzat Agha took over the sheikhdom, and currently, it's Khalil, Khalil Izzat, who is the Agha of the region.
حسب معلوماتي إنه أظن يعني ما قبل خليل آغا، يعني كان شخص أخد رتبة البكاوية من العثمانيين، ومن ثم أظن إنه خليل آغا كان أيضاً عضو في البرلمان السوري في الخمسينات؟ According to my information, I think, before Khalil Agha, there was a person who took the rank of Bey from the Ottomans, and then I think Khalil Agha was also a member of the Syrian Parliament in the fifties?
الجد عزت آغا، كان عضو في البرلمان سنة 1957، دام فيها أربع سنين. The grandfather Izzat Agha, was a member of parliament in the year 1957, lasting for four years.
وبعدها خليل، خليل عزت دام في الإدارة المحلية محافظة حلب على دورتين، تمان سنين ضل في الإدارة المحلية. And then Khalil, Khalil Izzat remained in the local administration of Aleppo Governorate for two terms; he stayed in the local administration for eight years.
وقبل ذلك؟ And before that?
قبل ذلك خليل بيك أخد البكاوية من العثمانيين، وكنا هداك الوقت تابعين لولاية كلس. ولاية كلس، يعني كل أمورنا الإدارية ولاية كلس. Before that, Khalil Bey took the rank of Bey from the Ottomans, and at that time we were subordinate to the Wilayah of Kilis. The Wilayah of Kilis, meaning all our administrative matters were in the Wilayah of Kilis.
وكانت الحدود مفتوحة بين سوريا وتركيا. And the borders were open between Syria and Turkey.
نعم كانت الحدود مفتوحة، ذهاب وإياب لا ما في حدود بيناتنا كان. Yes, the borders were open, going back and forth, no, there were no borders between us.
الآن إنتو تابعين لناحية راجو؟ Now you are subordinate to the Rajo sub-district?
نحن تابعين لناحية راجو الآن. We are subordinate to the Rajo sub-district now.
علاقاتكم الاقتصادية والتجارية مع مين؟ Who are your economic and commercial relations with?
كضمن الناحية، نحن عنا بازار بعدنلي وفي براجو، وفي، علاقاتنا الناحية السجل المدني كل شيء تابع لراجو نحن. Within the sub-district, we have the Ba'dinli bazaar, and in Rajo, and our sub-district relations, civil registry, everything is subordinate to Rajo for us.

معبطلي، عفرين، شران، جنديرس، جميع المحافظات القريبة منا، اعزاز، دارة عزة، ادلب، يعني بشكل موسع. احكيلي عن اهم العوائل الموجودة في القرية وطبيعة العلاقة بيناتهم. Mabata, Afrin, Sharran, Jindires, all the neighboring governorates, Azaz, Darat Izza, Idlib, basically on a wide scale. Tell me about the most important families in the village and the nature of the relationship between them.
اهم العوائل في بعدنلي، عائلة كور احمد، عائلة بيت علي، بيت حجي، دميسو، هدول العائلات الاساسيين اللي كانوا موجودين، وبعدها تم اللجوء الى قرية بعدنلي او اتوا بعد فترة في عوائل كثيرة اجوا ع بعدنلي.

كيف كان، يعني كيف كان شكل العلاقة بيناتهم كعوائل؟ How was, meaning how was the nature of the relationship between them as families?
كعلاقات اخوة وجيدة جدا، وكلياتهم كانوا مشتركين مع بعض، الدليل لذلك ان المنطقة القديمة او البلدة القديمة كانت متوحدة، يعني حتى البيوت مافي بيناتهم اي فراغ، نسبة للحب والاخوة بيناتهم. Like relations of brotherhood and very good, and all of them were shared together, the proof of that is that the old area or the old town was united, meaning even the houses had no space between them, due to the love and brotherhood between them.
طيب، هذا الجامع، بس بدي اسألك عن هذا الجامع، قديش عمره؟ Okay, this mosque, I just want to ask you about this mosque, how old is it?
الجامع، ما يقارب مئتين سنة، كان اعمار قديم، والان نحن كاهالي بعدنلي حدثنا فيه، والحمدلله وصل لهالمرحلة. The mosque, approximately two hundred years old, it was an old construction, and now we as the people of Badinli modernized it, and thank God it reached this stage.

خليك واقف، نكون ورا الجامع لو سمحت، وقف هون، نعم. Stay standing, let's go behind the mosque please. Stand here, yes.
