Belê. Yes.
Heger em dest pê bikin, gundê we pirsa... em bêjin bi eşîra Rûbariya tê naskirin. If we start, [about] your village... let's say it is known by the Rubari tribe.
Niha em behsa gund bikin, gund çengî da ava bû? Kê ev gunda ava kir? Yanî ji çiqas sal da ye? Navê gund ji ku hatiye? Kerem ke. Now let's talk about the village, when was the village founded? Who founded this village? I mean, how many years has it been? Where did the village name come from? Please, go ahead.
Bi navê Xwedayê delal. Hemd û şukur û sena ji Xweda ra, em kirin ji ummeta fexrê kainat Hezretî Mihemed, eleyhî selat we selam. In the name of the beautiful God. Praise and thanks and glory to God, who made us of the community of the pride of the universe, Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him.
Biraw, bil ehra, ê derketî hatî vî gundî, ji gundê Basilê. Ji gundê Basilê. Brother, to be accurate, the ones who came out and came to this village, were from the village of Basile. From the village of Basile.
Hatin vî gundî du bira. Du bira hatin vî gundî. Yekî Hec Bîlal bû, û ê didiyê Betal bû. Two brothers came to this village. Two brothers came to this village. One was Hajj Bilal, and the second was Betal.
Û ê sisiyê jî pismamê gundiya bû, vêr digotin Hemê Pîr. And the third was a cousin of the villagers, they called him Heme Pir.
Heva hatin vî gundî. These [people] came to this village.
Di kîjan demê da derbasî vir bûn? At what time did they move here?
Berî nihanî, teqrîben bi dused sal. Hezar û dused û teqrîben sî û çara hicrî. Before now, approximately two hundred years. One thousand two hundred and approximately thirty-four Hijri.
Neha gundê Basilê nêzîkî we ye? Now, is the village of Basile near you?
Nêzîkî me ye lê... It is near us, yes...
Çiqas dûr e ji we? How far is it from you?
Basilê nêzîkî me ye, işî teqrîben çar kîlometre. Basile is near us, its distance is approximately four kilometers.
Dikeve rojavayê we? Does it fall to your west?
Rojavayê me ye, ewa. It is to our west, yes.
Yanî amlak, berê erdê we bû li vir? I mean the property, was it your land here before?
Erdê me bû vir. Weli zalik, heva memleket berê yanî milet kêm bû, rabû vana korê xwe şandin vî gundî. It was our land here. Therefore, this country, before, I mean the people were few, so they got up and sent their sons to this village.
Hec Bîlal, û Betal, û pismamê xwe Hemê Pîr. Hatin vî gundî, va gunda şên kirin. Hajj Bilal, and Betal, and their cousin Heme Pir. They came to this village, they populated this village.
Bil ehra berê xerabe bû. Çi bû? Xerabe bû. To be accurate, before it was a ruin. What was it? It was a ruin.
Wextê hatin li Xerabê rûniştin, nav lênan Xurebet el-heyat. Nav lênan Xurêpkê, Xurêbet el-heyat. When they came and settled in the Ruin (Xerabe), they named it Xurebet el-heyat (Ruin of Life). They named it Xurêpkê, Xurebet el-heyat.
Ê berê we diza, milletê we li vir rûniştibûn yanî? And before you, you knew, your people had settled here, meaning?
Milet... Milet mentîqe giha ya me bû. The people... The people, the whole region was ours.
Heva mesela me got çar gund, pênc gund. Basil, Xurêpk, Cilbir, Bênê, Kistear. Here for example we said four villages, five villages. Basile, Xurêpkê, Cilbir, Bênê, Kistear.
Hef, her pênc gund na, mewcûdne gi l'dor hev din e. Der dor yek. Û menbe' jî Basil e. These, all these five villages, are present all around each other. Around one another. And the source is Basile.
Ê hûn hemî ji Basilê derketine? So you all came out of Basile?
Hemû, em ji Basilê derketine. Erê. All, we came out of Basile. Yes.
Naha gund jî mezin bûye, gihîştiye çiqas mal yanî? Aîle di gund da? Now the village has grown, how many houses has it reached? Families in the village?
Nikanî teqrîben... bil ehra çend aîle bûn, mesela Hec Bîlal bû, û Betal bû, û Mistê Hemê bû. Pismamê wan. Now approximately... to be accurate there were a few families, for example there was Hajj Bilal, and Betal, and Miste Heme. Their cousin.
Pismamê wan a. Ewa. Evna, ev her sê malbat na, li vî gundî bûn, li Xurêpkê. Their cousin?
Pismamê wan a. Ewa. Evna, ev her sê malbat na, li vî gundî bûn, li Xurêpkê. Their cousin. Yes. These, these three families, were in this village, in Khurepke.
Naha Apê Şêx, gundê we naha bi çend malbata tê naskirin? Now Uncle Sheikh, by how many families is your village known now?
Bi sê malbata. Sê malbat. By three families. Three families.
Eynî bi navê wan tê naskirin? Is it known by their exact names?
Ewa. Nika jê bi şûnda, mesela Hec Bîlal bû malbatek, Betal malbatek, Mistê Hemê malbatek. Bûne sê malbat. Yes. Now since then, for example Hajj Bilal was one family, Betal one family, Miste Heme one family. They became three families.
Jê bi şûnda, mala Mistê Hemê l'ser wî navî man, heta rîyê îro. Since then, the house of Miste Heme remained under that name, until this day today.
Jê bi şûnda, Hec Bîlal du kurê xa hebûn. Seyd bû, û Îb bû. Seydê Bîlêl, û Îbê Bîlêl. Since then, Hajj Bilal had two sons. There was Seyd, and there was Ib. Seyd of Bilal, and Ib of Bilal.
Weli zalik, nihanî wa xanigirtinî, ez gotinê dikim, ewel ya pêt vî gundî da, Hec Bîlal yek du xanî girtin. Therefore, now the house building, I am speaking, the first that stepped into this village, Hajj Bilal built one or two houses.
Yek kire medafê, yanî milet li rûne, û yek jî oda wî nî. He made one a guest house (madafe), for people to sit in, and one was his room.
Û ji berêk ra jî girt, ji betîr ra qabek dikîlek xada. Teb'en hûnê naha bibînin. And he built one from stone, from concrete (clay/mud?) a dome/arch beside it. Of course, you will see it now.
Ê gund çiqas mal niha tê daye? So how many houses are in the village now?
Nika em bûn dora sed, heftê heştê malî. Ji wa, sê malbatana. Now we have become around one hundred, seventy or eighty households. From those, those three families.
Paşê ji Betêl jî kî bû? Hec Ûso bû, û Hec Xelûf a. Du kurkê wî bûn. Then from Betal, who was there? There was Hajj Uso, and Hajj Khaluf. Those were his two sons.
Jê bi şûnda, meselen ê Seydê, Evd û Miste bûn. Evd û Miste bûn. Ê Îbê, Mist û Hûtê bûn. Since then, for example from Seyd's [line], there were Avd and Miste. Avd and Miste. From Ib's [line], there were Mist and Hute.
Yanî malbat mezin bûn? Bûn mezin bûn? So the families grew? They became large?
Bil ehra, gişt... hard birane û gemariya hevdune. To be accurate, all... they are all brothers and relatives of each other.
Naha gelek miletê Efrînî zîtir ji xwa derbasî cem we bûye? Now, many people of Afrin have recently moved to stay with you?
Naa, miletê Efrînê, wextê kava karesa çêbû li Efrînê, me dilê xwe vekir. Sêngê xwe vekir, birakê me ne. Yes, the people of Afrin, when this disaster happened in Afrin, we opened our hearts. We opened our chests, they are our brothers.
Me gi istiqbal kirin. Ekînim qe maleke ke mêvan û va karesê ke çêbû, istiqbal nekir gund giştkî teva da. We welcomed them all. I'd say there isn't a single house that didn't welcome guests and this disaster that happened, in the whole village together.
Û xizmet kir. Heta ke kênî î kênî, xizmet vî miletî kir heta rîyê ano em têda. And served them. As much as they could, they served this people until this day that we are in.
Başe. Naha em hinekî behsa debarê jiyana xwa. Hûn li vir wîn çi karî dikin? Çi diçînin? Gund debarê jiyana xwa bi çi dike? Okay. Now let's talk a bit about your livelihood. What work do you do here? What do you plant? How does the village make a living?
Livî derê, bidayê pez bû. Pez bû, ga bûn. Weli zalik, û şiket hebûn. In this place, in the beginning, it was sheep. It was sheep, there were cattle. Therefore, and there were caves.
Şiket hebûn, teb'en heta nî wa hewşna girt ji xwara girtin, paşê di şiketê da bûn. There were caves, of course until now they built those courtyards for themselves, afterwards they were in the caves.
Pez, ga di şiketa da bûn. Îtîmadê xwa li ser pez û ga bû. Sheep, cattle were in the caves. Their reliance was on sheep and cattle.
Naha? Now?
Halîyen, fere bû. Dexle diçînin, cehe diçînin, genim diçînin, zeytûn şandin. Currently, it has expanded. They plant grains, they plant barley, they plant wheat, they planted olives.
Weli zalik, meîşê xwa bi vî işî bû. Halîyen em têda çandin. Dar jî çandin, mubaşer. Therefore, their livelihood was through this work. Currently we are into farming. Also planting trees, directly.
Yanî hên di wa esrê da. Zeytûnê hene teqrîben ji sed û heftê salî da. Sed heftê salî da, yanî pişt bi sed salî dar çandin e. I mean still in that era. There are olives from approximately one hundred and seventy years ago. One hundred seventy years, meaning more than a hundred years of tree planting.
Em gelek spasîya te dikin. Emîna derbasî gund bin, yê me bêtir nas bikin. We thank you very much. We will enter the village, to get to know it better.
Ehlen we sehlen. Bi ser çavê me û ehlen we sehlen bi bernameyê Ax û Welat. Welcome. On our eyes [you are welcome] and welcome to the program Soil and Country.
Sax be. Thank you.
Xelkê gundê Xurêpkê ji gundê eşîra Rûbariyan. The people of Khurepke village are from the villages of the Rubari tribe.
Pênc gund ji eşîra Rûbarî, li navçeya Şêrawa hene. There are five villages of the Rubari tribe in the Sherawa district.
Ev pênc gund hemû ji gundê Basilê derketine. All these five villages originated from the village of Basile.
Navên van gundan ev in: Xurêpkê, Bênê, Cilbirê, Kistear û Basilê ne. The names of these villages are these: Khurepke, Bene, Cilbire, Kistear and Basile.
Gundê Xurêpkê dikeve sînorê di navbera Efrîn û Şehbayê de. The village of Khurepke falls on the border between Afrin and Shahba.
Gund ji 165 xaniyan pêk tê, û nêzî 2500 kes lê dijîn. The village consists of 165 houses, and nearly 2500 people live in it.
Beqasî van jî li bajarê Helebê dijîn. Hemû ji eşîra Rûbarî ne. An equal amount of them also live in the city of Aleppo. They are all from the Rubari tribe.
Temaşevanên hêja, li vir jî komînek heye. Ew komîna gund e. Emê neha derbasî cem komînê jî bibin. Emê kar û xebatê komînê jî nas bikin. Merheba ji we re. Dear viewers, there is a commune here as well. It is the village commune. We will now visit the commune. We will get to know the work and activities of the commune. Hello to you.
Emê we nas bikin? May we know you?
Heval Îmad, serokê komîna Xurêbkê. Comrade Imad, head of the Khurebke commune.
Serçavên min. My pleasure.
Spas. Thanks.
Tu jî xwe nas bike? You introduce yourself too?
Bawer bike ser vê komînê, Şehîd Barîn, nasnavê wê, navçeya Şera, em mişext bûn, ji ber bûyerê çêbûye û dagirkeriya li ser Efrînê hatî, em hatin vê derê. Believe me, regarding this commune, named Martyr Barin, from Shera district, we were displaced due to the events that happened and the occupation that came upon Afrin, we came here.
Û em teşekur dikin ji xelkê gund re û yê komînê ra jî, kar û xebatên me tevlîheviyek çêbûye, bêyî cudahî, çi Efrînî be, çi xelkê gund be. And we thank the people of the village and the commune, our work and activities have become mixed, without discrimination, whether Afrini or village people.
Kar û barê me tevlîhev e. Çi alîkarî hebe, em bi hev re mil bi mil... bi navê xelkê me yê Efrînê, em xelkê me yê Xurêbkê, em deyndarê wan in em dibêjin. Our work is joint. Whatever help there is, we are together shoulder to shoulder... in the name of our people from Afrin, we tell our people of Khurebke that we are indebted to them.
Ji ber ku... heta di vê demê de, migiyê me jî li vî derî çêbûn. Di medrese, mizgeft, malên xwe jî... bi hurmet, û adet û teqalîdên me. Because... up to this time, our places were made here. In the school, the mosque, and their homes... with respect, and our customs and traditions.
Û heta bigire miletê gund jî, û komîna gund jî bi me re bûn alîkar. Ji ber ku di xemgîniya me de muşareke kirin xemgîniya me, û şahiya me re şahiya me, xemgîniya me re xemgîn in. And even the village people, and the village commune were helpful to us. Because in our sadness they shared our sadness, and in our joy they are our joy, in our sadness they are sad.
Bi rastî em gelek spas dikin miletê me yê Xurêbkê. Truly, we thank our people of Khurebke very much.
Gelek spasiya we jî dikin. Hûn hemû endamên ser vê komînê ne? We thank you very much too. Are you all members of this commune?
Erê. Yes.
Emê we jî nas bikin? May we know you too?
Heval Sîham, seroka komîna Xurêbkê. Comrade Siham, head of the Khurebke commune.
Serçavên min. My pleasure.
Heval Emîna, seroka komînê, hevalê me re alîkar im. Em ji nahiyeya Mabata, gundê Kakherê. Comrade Amina, head of the commune, I am a helper to our friends. We are from Mabata district, Kakhere village.
Serçavên min. My pleasure.
Hevalê Cuma, aştîyê komîna me. Comrade Juma, the peace committee of our commune.
Serçava. Te got cihê xwe di komînê de girtiye. Neha di gund de du komîn çêbûne, wek min şirove fêm kir? My pleasure. You said you took your place in the commune. Now, are there two communes formed in the village, as I understood from the explanation?
Na, komînek e, lê komîna Şehîd Barîn, ya gundê Xurêbkê, ji bo me bûne yek. Ji bo kar, em bi heq re karê xwe dikin. No, it is one commune, but the Martyr Barin commune, of Khurebke village, for us became one. For work, we do our work rightly.
Xelkê me yê Efrînê hatin... komîna xwe, me çêkir, me zim kirî. Em bûne deh heval mêr û deh heval jin. Yanî em her çar serpî bo komînê ne. Our people from Afrin came... our commune, we formed it, we annexed it. We became ten male comrades and ten female comrades. Meaning we four are the supervisors for the commune.
Yanî ji kîlek va hûn diskinin? So you stand on one side (working together)?
Erê kîlekê me sekinî. Ji ber ku miletê Efrînê jî niha... ji gundên Efrînê jî, hatine tev vê komînê me bûn. Tev hatin, tev vê komînê me kar kirin. Yes, our side stood (together). Because the people of Afrin too now... from Afrin villages too, came and joined this commune of ours. All came, worked with this commune of ours.
Neha hinekî behsa bazarê bikin. Va bazar e de ne? Bazar kengî vekirin? Kengî dest bi karê bazarê kir? Now let's talk a bit about the market. This is a market, right? When did the market open? When did work on the market start?
Wella bazar, teqrîben bîya du sal me çêkirî. Xwesteka milet bû. Well the market, it's been approximately two years since we made it. It was the people's wish.
Miletê me... gundê me bi dûrî Efrîn e. Teqrîben bîst pênc kîlometre dûrî Efrîn e. Our people... our village is far from Afrin. Approximately twenty-five kilometers far from Afrin.
Û hisar çêbûbû li ser me, em mecbûr dibûn em diçûne Efrîn heta tiştê xwe bianîna. And a siege had happened to us, we were forced to go to Afrin to bring our things.
Ê milet bi xwe xwest, yanî em bazarekê çêkin. Xwest... hatine cem me komînê... 'tim heval dan' em bazarekê çêkin. So the people themselves wanted, meaning for us to make a market. They wanted... came to us at the commune... 'all friends agreed' let's make a market.
Me kar kir, bi hevra... me nasb best... meselen... li vî alî me berê deng dikir... wa li cem me gundê Xurêbkê... sahet me jê re çêkir, me fireh kir. We worked, together... we set up stalls... for example... on this side we previously announced... here at our place in Khurebke village... a square we made for it, we widened it.
Yek du yekî re hat... û elhemdulîlah ji Xwedê re, ev ê me, bazara me mezin bû. Û bi xwe jî dîtin, niha li derva... çû... peyda bûye bazar, me pir feyde dît. One came after another... and praise be to God, this of ours, our market grew. And you saw yourself, now outside... it went... the market appeared, we saw a lot of benefit.
Neha çiqas malbatên ji gundên Efrînê hatine Şêrawa, yanî hatine gundê we, çiqas malbat hene? Now how many families from Afrin villages came to Sherawa, meaning came to your village, how many families are there?
Teqrîben... di destpêkê da, miletê me yê Efrîn... hat... teqrîben çarsed û pêncî malbat... em ketne... ketne vî gundî. Approximately... in the beginning, our people of Afrin... came... approx 450 families... we entered... entered this village.
Gundê me bi xwe sed û şêst mal in. Çarsed û pêncî malbat... tevî gundê me çêbûn. Our village itself is 160 houses. 450 families... joined with our village.
Yanî her... teqrîben her malek... bûne sê çar pênc mal. Meaning every... approximately every house... became three, four, five families.
Miletê me... elhemdulîla ji xwedê re jî gundê me jî... mêvandar e. Gişt derî xwe vekirin, û tiştê xwe danîn. Our people... praise God our village too... is hospitable. All opened their doors, and shared their things.
Heta li dawiyê cî nema, me medrese jî vekir, me xîz jî ji milet ra... camî jî me vekir. Yani... heta isfênca, dera... gişt dan. Until at the end no space remained, we opened the school too, we [provided tents] for the people... we opened the mosque too. Meaning... even mattresses, [blankets]... they gave everything.
Yanî heya we karî we alîkarî kir, bi milet re? So as much as you could you helped the people?
Yanî... xaseten di destpêkê de pir zehmet bû li gund. Xelkê bi xwe nedixwest biçûya mantiqê Şehba. Meaning... especially in the beginning it was very difficult in the village. The people themselves didn't want to go to the Shahba area.
Dixwestin li vê derê, mantiqê bimînin. Dibên bi xwe ha... bi erdê Efrînê ye, em naxwazin ji erdê Efrînê dûr bin. They wanted here, in the area to remain. They say themselves... it is Afrin land, we don't want to be far from Afrin land.
Belê, ji ber ku ev jî her Efrîn e. Yes, because this is still Afrin.
Erê erê... na ji gundekî ji gundê Efrînê ye. Yes yes... no, [it is] one of the villages of Afrin.
Temam, spas ji were. Em herin cem wî... dayê me jî. Okay, thank you. Let's go to... our mother too.
Neha berê da, tenê mêr... rola xwe di gund de hebu. Digotin... mêr gund birêve dibirin. Now in the past, only men... had their role in the village. They used to say... men managed the village.
Neha em dibînin, di rastiyê de di vê şoreşê de jî... yanî navê komîn, jin jî cihê xwe digire. Û çawa cihê xwe digire? Û çiqas kêfa xwe pêşîyê va heye? Now we see, actually in this revolution too... meaning in the name of the commune, woman also takes her place. And how does she take her place? And how much pride does she have in this progress?
Neha ji ber ku ew jî komîn e... û gund birêve dibin yanî. Now because that is also a commune... and they manage the village, meaning.
Ya, em wekî me, wekî mêr e... di karê me, miletê bi cih dikin, em meselen... çi kar ji me hat xwestin em dikin. Yeah, we are like us, like men... in our work, we serve the people, we for example... whatever work is asked of us we do.
Yanî em qasî dikarin, em dixwazin... yanî em xizmeta miletê xwe bikin. Û miletê ji Efrînê hatî... yanî... çawa bi xwe hatine, me qusûr li vê derê nekir, me îdare kirin, me bi cih kirin. Meaning as much as we can, we want... meaning we serve our people. And the people coming from Afrin... meaning... however they came, we didn't fail here, we managed them, we settled them.
Ew jî xwedî wan in. Malbatên wan in. They are also owners of it. Their families.
Yani kes neçûn cîkî dûr, eynî hatine gundekî. Xweş e gund... qasî keyne, em bûn... em bûn wan... malê xwe da, bi hesibandin ji gundê xwe derneketine. Sure, yes.
Yani kes neçûn cîkî dûr, eynî hatine gundekî. Xweş e gund... qasî keyne, em bûn... em bûn wan... malê xwe da, bi hesibandin ji gundê xwe derneketine. Meaning no one went somewhere far, same as they came to a village. The village is good... as much as we can, we became... we became them... in our houses, considering they haven't left their village.
Û inşalla, yanî rewş... em bibên me qusûr nekir. And God willing, meaning the situation... let's hope we didn't fail.
Gelek spasiya we jî dikin. Tu jî neha ji gundê Kakherê, tu hatî gundê Xurêbkê, tu di nava komînê de? We thank you too. You too now from Kakhere village, you came to Khurebke village, you are in the commune?
Erê, em di nava komînê de cihê xwe digirim, ligel hevalên xwe. Wek hevalê Cuma, hevalê Sîham... hevalê Îmad. Yes, I take my place in the commune, with my friends. Like comrade Juma, comrade Siham... comrade Imad.
Karê jî xizmeta miletê xwestin em dikin. Em berê hevalê jin cihê xwe di her tiştî da negirtibûn. Work too, whatever service the people want we do. Before, female friends hadn't taken their place in everything.
Lêbelê di her sazîkî da girtiye. Û em pir pê kêfxweş in bi vî tiştî. But [now] in every institution she has taken [her place]. And we are very happy with this thing.
Heta em kanin jî, em alîkar dibin. Ji hevalê me yê mêr jî û hevalê jin jî... em alîkariya hev dikin. As much as we can too, we are helpful. To our male friends too and female friends too... we help each other.
Bi rastî, yanî gundekî... welatparêz e, gundekî yanî... mêvanperwer e. Truly, meaning a village... patriotic, a village meaning... hospitable.
Em ji gundê xwe derketin hatin... bi koçberbûn, derbûn. Yanî em îstiqbal kirin... bi îstiqbal kirin. We left our village came... with displacement, leaving. Meaning we were received... with [good] reception.
Hemû milet mala xwe vekirin. Miletê Efrînê îstiqbal kirin... û cem xwe da bi cih kirin. All people opened their houses. Received the people of Afrin... and settled them at their place.
Tiştêkî... heta neha li vê derê ne, bêjim hene... kes me hîs nekiriye... yanî me tu caran, kesekî em bi şorke na êşandine. Something... until now we are here, I say there are... no one made us feel [bad]... meaning us never, anyone hurt us with a word.
Ka wekî me ji xwe dihesibînin. Ka em hinek ji vê gundî ne. Like they consider us as themselves. Like we are part of this village.
Û madem ev jî gundek ji mantiqê Efrînê ye, em pir pê kêfxweş in. Û em dixwazin jî yanî... heta em kanin, em li vir bin heta em vegerin. And as long as this is also a village of Afrin area, we are very happy with it. And we want too meaning... as long as we can, we be here until we return.
Rizgarkirina Efrînê û serkeftina me pêk bê inşallah. Liberation of Afrin and our victory be realized God willing.
Inşallah. Inşallah hûnê vegerin. Em gelekî spasiya we dikin. God willing. God willing you will return. We thank you very much.
Spas ji bo we. Thanks to you.
Saeta we xweş be. Bi xêr hatin gundê Xurêbkê. Serçava. Ser dila... û bi xêr hatin. Health to you. Welcome to Khurebke village. You're welcome. On hearts... and welcome.
Belê temaşevanên hêja, bi rastî jî. Ji berê da... însan taybet li gunda da... di tengîya û şahîyê da... timî xwedî li hevderdikevin. Yes dear viewers, truly. Since before... humans especially in villages... in hardships and joys... always support each other.
Neha jî wek serokê komîn anî ziman... di vê gundî da jî... çawa miletê Efrînê ku koçber bû... pişta xwe spartin... li ser miletê Efrînê hat çêkirin... derbasî Şêrawa bû, ew gundê Xurêbkê bû... li lê xwedî derketin. Now too as the head of commune expressed... in this village too... how the people of Afrin who were displaced... relied their back... happened on the people of Afrin... passed to Sherawa, that was Khurebke village... they supported them.
Ev taybetmendiya me ye, taybetmendiya civaka me ye, taybetmendiya mirovahî ye. Emê neha hinekî derbasî bazarê jî bin... ka em bibînin kî... milet çi difiroşe, çi dikire... xelkê bazarê ka em digel wan parve bikin. This is our characteristic, characteristic of our society, characteristic of humanity. We will now pass a bit to the market too... let's see who... what people sell, what they buy... people of the market let's share with them.
E... îro jî em li gundê Xurêbkê digerin. Bi rastî jî li vir bazar heye. Milet jî ji her devera... berê xwe daye vê bazarê. Uh... today too we are touring Khurebke village. Truly there is a market here. People too from all areas... have turned their face to this market.
Şênahî bû, yanî qerebalix e jî... gelek tişt jî li vir tên firotan. Ka em hinekî em biçin serdana milet jî bikin li vira. It was lively, meaning it is crowded too... many things are sold here. Let's go visit the people here a bit.

Teakîd em ji Efrînê da ne û em ji Efrînê jî nayên der, em Efrînê jî bernadin. Certainly we are from Afrin, and we won't leave Afrin, nor will we give up on Afrin.
Di 2018an da, 18ê Adarê, roja bazara Rajo bû, îkindi Teyara lê da. In 2018, on March 18th, it was the market day of Rajo, the planes struck in the afternoon.
Me berxwedaniya xwe pir kir. Me berxwedaniya xwe kir bi rêya hevala, bi rêya YPGê. We resisted a lot. We resisted alongside the comrades, alongside the YPG.
Me berxwedaniya xwe kir bin navê sê teyara lê dan, em derbasî Efrînê bûn. We resisted while three planes were striking, then we crossed into Afrin.
Li Efrînê jî dîsa me berxwedaniya xwe kir. In Afrin too, we resisted again.
Dîsa me epê hemû derman dûr bîst rojava derbas bûn, li Efrînê da man heya ku em va geriyan hatin vê derê. Again, we spent about twenty days there, we stayed in Afrin until we returned and came here.
Tabi'î Efrînê em d' Efrîna xwe dîsa man e û emê vegerin Efrînê bi serbilindî inşallah. Of course, Afrin... we are still with our Afrin and we will return to Afrin with heads held high, God willing.
Û bi qeweta gelê me, emê vegerin inşallah. And with the strength of our people, we will return, God willing.
Û emê berxwe bidin û emê bibînin, Kurd bi Efrînê şirîn e, Kurd bi Efrînê şirîn e. And we will resist and we will see; Kurds are sweet with Afrin, and Kurds are sweet with Afrin.

Hinekî em bahsa golê bikin. Let's talk a little about the pond.
Tê bîra te, gelek caran em diçûne gundan, gol têda hebûn. Yanî ya gol, gol bi xwe... piraniya gund çêbûne ji bo gola çêbûne, ji ber ku av tune bû. Do you remember, many times we went to villages, they had ponds in them. Meaning the pond itself... most villages were built because of the ponds, because there was no water.
Bi destpêkê gol hebû, piştra gund çêbûne. Eva, naha gund kevne lê gol kevne? In the beginning, there was a pond, then the villages were built. This one, now is the village old or is the pond old?
Na, ê me gund kevne. Tabî viderê kortik çûçik hebû. Wextê gund çêbû, peyda bûn li viderê. No, our village is old. Naturally, there was a small hole here. When the village was built, they appeared here.
Mezinê me hatin, çîçikê kûl û mezin kirin. Our elders came, they enlarged the small holes.
Têdî teqrîben emrê xwe zêdî sed sal heye eva gola. So, this pond is approximately more than one hundred years old.
Û ji ê ro niha çêkirin, vê dernê mekteb der tune bûn, giyî boş bû. And from the time they made it, there were no schools or places around here, grass was abundant.
Û dolix, dewarê xwe jî hebû, pezê xwe. And they had their watering place, their cattle, their sheep.
Ê kî av tune bû, wekî te gotî, av pir kêm bû. There was no water, as you said, water was very scarce.
Kêm bû, vistanê rêjî ro çêkiribûn, av diketê. It was scarce, in winter they made paths (channels) so water would flow into it.
Havînê pê îdarê xwe dikirin. Manê mal, manê dewer... In summer, they managed their livelihood with it. For the home, for the cattle...
Cilên xwe dişûştin? Did they wash their clothes?
Cilên xwe dişûştin. They washed their clothes.
Hiriya xwe? Their wool?
Hiriya xwe tanîn, bi havînê li ser vê dişûştin. They brought their wool, in the summer they washed it upon this (pond).
Kê ev kola? Yanî kê çêkir? Who dug this? Meaning, who made it?
Milletê gund. The people of the village.
Milletê gund bi yekbûnê, giyî... The people of the village united, all...
Mezinê... The elders...
E wê demê ne kepçe hebû ne tişt hebû. At that time there were no excavators, there was nothing.
Me hinik tat hebûn, kevir dane, bi hêz kevira jêrakirin ji mara bikolin. We had some bedrock, they hit the stones, with force they removed the stones from underneath so they could dig for us.
Wana feyde dî, kevir jêrakirin, naha jêrakirin, xerc mara kûr kirin, mezin kirin. They saw the benefit, they removed stones, removed bedrock, spent effort to deepen it for us, enlarge it.
Paşê me bi xwe îdare kir, çêkirin. Afterwards, we managed it ourselves, we fixed it.
Av dikete, vistanê... Water flowed in, in winter...
Havînê jî pê îdara xwe dikir. And in summer they managed their livelihood with it.
Pê îdara xwe dikir. They managed their livelihood with it.
Neha tiştek te pirsîm Keremke. Now I asked you something, Kerem (Cemal).
Îdara xwe pe dikir, me'nê jabê, jiber ku av tune bû. Cew jêr çêdikirin, rêk jêr çêdikirin, ti ji av dikirin, dewarê xwe jê av didan, der. They managed their livelihood with it, meaning for water, because there was no water. They made channels down, made paths down, filled it with water, watered their animals from it, outside.
Teqrîben dema av dighişt heya ê vistan û havînê. Approximately, the time the water lasted was until the winter and summer.
Hinek qut nedibû gund ji avê. Û işta pê xwe îdare dikir gund, millet. The village was not cut off from water a bit. And so the village, the people, managed themselves with it.
Haya berî bi çend salan we av ji vê dibir? Up until how many years ago did you take water from this?
Welehî emrê min teqrîben 45 sal e, de berê jî, de dibên emrê xwe 100 sal e, çiqas heye ez nizanim. By God, my age is approximately 45 years, but before that too, they say its age is 100 years, how long exactly I don't know.
Erê, naha haya berî bi çend salan we av jê dibir? We bi kar dianî vê avê? Yes, now up until how many years ago did you take water from it? Did you use this water?
Welehî, mesela av ne ji dûr de qut bûye, ji me nîz de hatiye. Cem me artewaz e gund. By God, for example, the water wasn't cut off from afar, it came to us recently. Our village has an artesian well.
Weleh her sal berê gî we didan, pak dikirin, avê pak dikirinê. Işta îdara xwe pê millet dikir, dibire mala, der, işta... kehewşê xwe pê dişûşt, derê xwe, tiştin hene pê dişûşt. Î dewarê xwe ji av didan hebûn. By God, every year before, they would clean it all, purify the water in it. So the people managed with it, took it home, outside, so... washed their courtyards with it, their outdoors, there were things they washed with it. And there were those who watered their animals.
Em dixwazin, têdî gelek dema gol hebe, av hebe, gelek çîrokên wê jî hene. We want to [know], usually when there is a pond, there is water, there are many stories about it too.
Ya xweş tê da hatine dema henekê dikirin, ya jî pes danî, ya çi çîrok di vê golê de derbas bûne? Either good things happened when they were joking around, or praises were given, or what stories have passed in this pond?
Tê bîra we heye? Do you have memory of it?
Erê tê bîra me, walî em ber pêz bûn. Yes, in our memory, well, we were shepherding sheep.
Keremke dayê, mîkê nîzîk bike. Please mother [referring to microphone], bring the mic closer.
Em ber pêz bûn, em pez dianî ser golê. Ez heval keçek min ra bû. We were shepherding sheep, we brought the sheep to the pond. I had a girl friend with me.
De weke keçek li ser, ser vava, ewa ke bû, nuka giş ewbûye. So like a girl upon, upon that... that fell, now it's all become that [gesturing to the condition of the pond].
Hewal jêra jî, jor me avê hinda dest avêtê. The friend below too, above us water... like that [she] reached for it.
Keçik mir? Did the girl die?
Keçik ketê, menkînî dax da, fetisî di golê da. The girl fell in, the algae/moss held her down, she drowned in the pond.
Paşê millet, e mezin hatin, derxistin, fetisî welleh bûnî. Later the people, the elders came, took her out, by God she had drowned.
Ya ew keçika kî bû tê bîra te? Or whose daughter was that girl, do you remember?
Keçika apê min bû welleh. She was my uncle's daughter, by God.
Keçika apê te bû? She was your uncle's daughter?
Keçika apê min bû. Em hatine, me pez dianî. She was my uncle's daughter. We came, we were bringing the sheep.
Yanî pir kûr bû yanî. Meaning it was very deep, meaning.

Vê kûrbûnê gi tije bû, heta, heta tije bû. In this depth it was all full, until, until it was full.
Kesi din ketiyê avê carna? Has anyone else fallen into the water sometimes?
Lê dimariya didu têda fetisiyane welleh. But ultimately two have drowned in it, by God.
Ew jî ji gundî we bûn? Were they also from your village?
Ew jî ji gundî me bûn. Berê lawikek, lawikek têda fetisî, ew ket avê. They were also from our village. Before, a boy, a boy drowned in it, he fell into the water.
Û yek li cû tê, bera tê bîn, Ehmed, Ehmed... lawê, navê xwe yek Ehmed e. And one came to the channel/threshing floor... brought him... Ehmed, Ehmed... the son, his name is one Ehmed.
No, lawê te golê de çû. No, [they said] your son went into the pond.
Dibezet, dibezet, ew jî xwe çet kir, şelwarê xwe kirî, şelwar tişt jê hat, beheujî derxist. He runs, he runs, he also threw himself [in], with his shalwar on, the shalwar [got heavy/wet], he brought him out too.

Yanî harz derxist, bab? Meaning he brought him out barely, the father?
Kurê apê kê bû. He was the son of someone's uncle.
Kurê apê kê derket? The uncle's son came out?
Harz di wadê de çûmiz. Sê, sê meriv va golê de çûne. Barely... in that valley we went. Three, three people went [died/fell] in this pond.
Rehma Xwedê li wan be. God's mercy be upon them.
Spas. Thanks.
Naha em bêjin bi hêvarê. Bi rastî jî dema bi hêvarê mada derbas dibû, belkî elektirîk, kehrebe tune ne. Now let's say in the evening. Truly, when the evening passed us by, maybe there was no electricity, no power.
Pir caran însan şaş ne diket, ne diketinê? Often wouldn't people make a mistake and fall, fall into it?
Welle şaş nedikir, bes hevarê dengê, ewa xweş dida, va beqan. By God, they didn't make mistakes, but in the evening the sound, it gave a nice [sound], these frogs.
Dengê xwe, dengê beqan, gurmînî diketê, dikevniyê avê. Dengê xwe xweş dida bi havînê. Their sound, the sound of frogs, a croaking would fall in, fall into the water. It gave a nice sound in the summer.
Destê we sax be mamoste. Health to your hands, sir [uncle].
Dayîka min deştekê jî. My mother, [give] a hand too [take the mic].

Lê ema yanî tê bêjî behsa Efrînê û xwarina Efrînê bikî, giştî wek hev xwarin çêdikin. But meaning if you speak of Afrin and Afrin's food, generally everyone makes food the same way.
Yanî hemû navçeyên Efrînê, gundên Efrînê, xwarinê wan nîzî hev yanî. Meaning all the districts of Afrin, villages of Afrin, their foods are close to each other.
Lê ema hind gundin hene jî, xwarinê wan bi teybet in yanî, xwas hene. But there are some villages too, their foods are special/specific, they are unique.
Dema em derbasî milê Meydana dibin, yan milê Bilbilê da dibin, yan milê Şiyê dibin, îlla xwarinê wan bi teybet hene. When we pass to the Meydana side, or into the Bilbil side, or the Shiye side, they surely have their own special foods.
Ê va tiştî wan nîkî bi teybet hene? So are these things of theirs somewhat special?
Welle, dema tirşê simaqê, tirşê bacanê reş... yanî pir şîva xweş e, dema muqeddes e. Well, when [we make] sumac stew, eggplant stew... meaning it is a very good meal, a sacred time.

Saxbê, saxbê. Destê we saxbin, ev şîşbereke. Bless you, bless you. Health to your hands, this is Shish- barak.
Temaşevanên birastî jî, ev şîşbereke. Truly dear viewers, this is Shish-barak.
Ka ji min ra hinekî bêje, şîşberek çi dikeviyê? Tell me a little, what goes into Shish-barak?
Hevîr distirên, û pîvaz û goşt diqelînin, û em dixin stêrê tê dikin... We knead the dough, and fry onions and meat, and we put it into the stars (shape the dough)...
...dikin şîşberek, û lebeniyê xwe jî digerînin, mastê xwe dikulên... ...make it into Shish-barak (dumplings), and we stir/cook our yogurt sauce, boil our yogurt...
...û rizê dikin ber û digerînin û şîşbereka... ...and we make rice alongside it and stir it and the Shish- barak...
Yanî ard e, nav goşt û sîr û pîvaz û çi? So it's flour, inside is meat and garlic and onions and what?
Na, pîvazê diqelînin bi goşta. No, we fry the onions with the meat.
Dixin nav? You put it inside?
Arê. Yes.
Piştre wê dikelînin, bi mast ve? Afterward you boil it, with yogurt?
Am dikelînin û tişta... wergî dibe şîşberek. We boil it and the thing... that's how it becomes Shish- barak.

Cihê gund ê neha, yê gundê Basilê bû. The current location of the village belonged to the village of Basile.
Lê dûvre xelkê Basilê, berê xwe didin nav erdên xwe, yên bi navê Betal û Bîlal. But later the people of Basile turned towards their own lands, those named Betal and Bilal.
Piştre pismamê Betal û Bîlal jî, tê li kêlek wan bicih dibe. Afterward, the cousin of Betal and Bilal also comes and settles beside them.
Belê temaşevanên hêja, li vir jî em dighên dawiya bernameya xwe. Yes dear viewers, here we also reach the end of our program.
