Serîk jî digihê çiyê? And one end reaches the mountain?

Hewa axlerê (axayên) di gund, jê re dibên malê Betalê Betêl. Those aghas in the village, they call them the family of Betalê Betêl.

Paşê hinek din ji der va hatin. Later others came from outside.
Û dîsa îstîqrar li gund da, gund pê şên û mezin bû. And again stability in the village, the village became populated and grew with it.
Bes a malbatê kevn, berê heve n. But the old families, they are the ones from before.
Na pismam, gundê we Kurd tê da hene, û Ereb hene, û Tirk hene. Now cousin, there are Kurds in your village, and Arabs, and Turks.
Na tergom, Kêlxelo, Kêlxelo Tirk in, Turkman in. No, let me translate (explain), the Kêlxelo, Kêlxelo are Turks, they are Turkmens.

Zeytûn tinen e? Are there no olives?
Zeytûn berê tine bûn. Berê va deşta me, Celemê, zeytûnek tenê tine bû, bes du baxçe tenê hebûn. There were no olives before. Before, in this plain of ours, Celemê, there wasn't a single olive tree, there were only two orchards.
Naka deşta Celemê bi zeytûn e, bi hinar e, bi sêv e, bi xox e, bi tirî ye. Now the plain of Celemê is full of olives, pomegranates, apples, peaches, grapes.
Bi çit xwasî (çi te xwestî) meîşet tê da heye. Whatever livelihood you want is in it.
Bes piranîya gundê we bi titûn tê naskirin? But isn't the majority of your village known for tobacco?
Titûn û îsota wan? Tobacco and their peppers?

Heva gî paşê xelkê feth kir, derkir. All of this, people later opened up (cleared) and brought out.
Xwedê kêm asi ye we nehêle, saetxweş. May God not leave you with less, have a good time (thank you).
Ehlen we sehlen. Welcome.
Spas tera. Thank you.
Ehlen we sehlen. Welcome.
Gundê Celemê yek ji gundên navçeya Cindirêsê ye. Celemê village is one of the villages of the Jindires district.
Û dikeve milê başûrê rojhilata bajarê Efrînê. And it lies on the southeast side of the city of Afrin.
Li ser pişta rachiye, di quntara çiyayê Lêlûnê, û deşta Cûmê hatiye avakirin. On a ridge, in the foothills of Mount Lelun, and the Jume plain, it has been built.
Hejmara şênîyên gundê Celemê, nêzî pênc hezar kes in. The number of inhabitants of Celemê village is close to five thousand people.
Navê gotina Celemê ji du peyvan hatiye dabeşkirin. The name Celemê has been derived from two words.
"Cî" û "Lêm". "Cî" (Place) and "Lêm" (Flood/Rush).
Lêm, ango dengê xuşxuşa avê. Lêm, meaning the sound of rushing water.
Jiber ku deşta Cûmê, tenê bi qasî deh metrî li ser radeya deryayê raye. Because the Jume plain is only about ten meters above sea level.
Şikefta Dîbsiz li milê başûrê gund e, bi firehîya çil metreyî ye, û pir berz e. The Dîbsiz (Bottomless) Cave is on the south side of the village, forty meters wide, and very high.
Şikefta Bûyê cîyê rûniştina şah û mîra bûye. The Bûyê Cave was the sitting place of shahs and princes.
Belê di rojhilat, neqşa serê ga lê heye, di ger gora padîşahan. Yes, in the east, there is an engraving of a bull's head on it, around the graves of kings.
Sê pêkhate li gundê Celemê jiyan dikin. Kurd, Ereb, Turkmen. Three components live in Celemê village. Kurds, Arabs, Turkmens.
Celemê pênc sed û şeş hektarî ye. Celemê is five hundred and six hectares.
Û gundî bêtir dispêrin ser çandina titûn, zeytûn, hinar û zeviyan, ji bo pêk anîna dabara jiyana xwe. And the villagers mostly rely on planting tobacco, olives, pomegranates, and crops to provide for their livelihood.
Belê temaşevanên hêja, ji gundê Celemê em derketin, me berê xwe da çayê (çemê) Lêlûn. Yes dear viewers, we left Celemê village, we headed towards the Lelun river.
Em hatin vira, dibêjin Celemêya kevn. We came here, they call it Old Celemê.
Naha jî em di sînor da ne, navbera Efrînê û Idlibê da ne. Even now we are at the border, between Afrin and Idlib.
Ez û mamoste Sadiq derbas vir bûn, me xwest dîroka Celemêya kevn jî em nas bikin. Mamoste (Teacher) Sadiq and I passed through here, we wanted to learn the history of Old Celemê as well.
Merheba ştara mamoste? Hello, how are you teacher?
Xêr hatin, ser serê min, ser çavê min. Ehlen we sehlen. Welcome, upon my head, upon my eyes. Welcome.
"Eski Celemê" heva ne pir kevn e? "Eski Celemê", isn't this very old?
"Eski Celemê" ev navê "Eski" bi Tirkî ye, bi Kurmancî "Kevn" e. "Eski Celemê", this name "Eski" is in Turkish, in Kurmanji it is "Kevn" (Old).
Ê kevn zêdetir gundî me yê... gundî ê millet naha tê da rûniştî ye. The old one is more so our village... the village where the people are currently settled.
Hev, vêra dibên "Eski Celemê", millet war texmîn dikir ji xora. This one, they call this "Eski Celemê", people estimated a camp/settlement for themselves.
Eno dema millet hatî gund li jêr rûniştî... Meaning when the people came and settled in the village down below...
...wan behs dikir eno viderê millet zêdetir kevn li viderê rûniştî ye. ...they used to discuss that here, people had settled here much earlier (in ancient times).
Nav li viderê kirin "Eski Celemê". They named this place "Eski Celemê".
Zaten sê malbat di viderê da radibûn û rûdiniştin. Actually three families used to get up and settle (live) in this place.
Vêra digotin malbata malê Koso. They called them the family of Koso.
Malbata malê Cimo. The family of Cimo.
Û malbata malê Ewê. And the family of Ewê.
Ê Kêrxelo. The Kêrxelo.
Zaten hevna li viderê bûn. Actually these were in this place.
Vana zivistanê li viderê diqetandin, em bibêjin colban diçandin, hin titûnê xwe diçandin, xizmeta dewer dikirin. They used to spend the winter here, let's say planting fallow crops, planting some of their tobacco, taking care of the cattle.
Cêl bûn, em bibêjin, bizin bûn. There were calves, let's say, there were goats.
Pez hebû. There were sheep.
Jê û şûnda dema havîn dibû, vî 'aîlana xwe berdidana jêr. From then on, when summer came, these families would release themselves down (move down).
Berdidana nav gund, millet zaten li gund hebû wî çaxî. They would move into the village, people were actually in the village at that time.
Li yalîkî da nîzîkî gund, li yalî bakûr, vêra dibên Çetê Werdê. On one side near the village, on the north side, they call that place Çetê Werdê.
Da diketin viderê, me'ne mesele ava xwe, ji ava van î... They would go down there, meaning for the issue of their water, from the water of these...
Nêzîkî kelê... Near the castle...
Wê cîkî teng jê bû, yanî du derî da rê nîşan dan, vêra dibên kêşik, zêdetir av jî nêzîkî wê derê ye. It was a narrow place, meaning they showed the way through two entrances, they call this a checkpoint, and mostly water is also close to that place.
Zaten ev malbatana, belkî heta noka milkê xwa di vî derê da hene. Actually, these families, perhaps even now, have their property in this place.
Milkê xwa di vî çiyanê da hene. They have their property in these mountains.
Lê bêtir piştî daketinê, vana û girtina cî û war û mala, zêdetir di fatra îslahê da, şêst û heftan û vê derê û da... But mostly after coming down, and them taking places and homes, mostly during the agrarian reform period, in '67 and around then...
Hevna ortê gund da jî îstîqrar bûn û milkê wana jî heta noka li vê derê ye. Some settled in the middle of the village and their property is still here to this day.
Lê wê demê de kes li vir nema? But at that time no one remained here?
Kes nema, lê derin tên, hatin çûn heye. No one remained, but they go and come, there is coming and going.
Lê, ama, ji aliyê dîrokî da, meselen, ewa mera vê derê wa bike... But, historically, for example, if one looks at this place like this...
Pir tiştên, meselen, vê derê asar niha hene. Many things, for example, ruins/traces exist here now.
Belkî serê gake li vê derê li ser kevirkî hebû. Perhaps there was a bull's head on a stone here.
Bes milet, wekî dibêjin, destavêtin, şikandin, pir asarên gindî bel nakin. But the people, as they say, tampered with it, broke it, they don't reveal many ancient traces.
Demê serê gake hem li vê derê dibînin, wek defteleyek ser împeratoriya Mîtanî, ya Hûrî jî. When we see a bull's head here, it is like a notebook [evidence] on the Mitanni Empire, or the Hurrians too.
Zaten, di vê fatra împeratoriya Mîtanî û Hûrî da, milet zora deştî bûye yanî, yizdî bûye... Actually, in this period of the Mitanni and Hurrian empire, the people were mostly plainsmen, meaning, agricultural/Yezidi...
Zêdetir tiştê muqedes li cem Mîthaniya serê ga û mase bû. Mostly, the sacred things for the Mitanni were the head of a bull and the fish.
Ev jî îsbatek e, îno hedareta Mîtanî ya di vir da jî berdewam kiriye. This is also proof that the Mitanni civilization continued here as well.
Pir hedarat vir da çûne, niha meselen derbazbûne. Many civilizations have passed through here, for example, have passed by.
Li cem me, metfen li vê derê derketin, belkî me bi çavê xwa jî dîtin. Near us, burial sites appeared here, perhaps we even saw them with our own eyes.
Goristan? A cemetery?
Ê, goristan e, hene. Yes, it is a cemetery, they exist.
Di tahtê da, di zinarê da hatiye çêkirin, û tirbên wan jî tê da hene. It was made inside the rock, inside the cliff, and their graves are in there too.
Zaten milet, wekî dibêjin destavêtine, tiştê wan dizîne. Actually the people, as they say, have tampered with them, stolen their things.
Hewka ne, bibêjin Yûnanî jî vê derê derdikeve, asarê Yûnanî derdikeve, asarê Roman derdikeve, asarê Bîzanta jî heta li vê derê derdikeve. Not only that, let's say Greek also appears here, Greek traces appear, Roman traces appear, even Byzantine traces appear here.
Lê tiştê heyî di vê derê da... But the existing thing in this place...
Yanî wer girêdide îno hedaratekî pir kevin, du hezar û sê hezar sal berî mîladê da em kanin bikşînin heta roya îro ye. Meaning it connects that a very old civilization, two thousand and three thousand years BC, we can trace it until today.
Mamosta berê vir keleh hebû? Teacher, was there a castle here before?
Kelah hebû, zaten hebû. There was a castle, indeed there was.
Di vê derê da, em bibêjin, zêdetir mal hebûn. In this place, let's say, there were mostly houses.
Belkî vê derê cîkî zêdetir bilind jî hebû. Perhaps there was also a higher place here.
Hema di pêncsed û bîst û heştê mîladî da... But in 528 AD...
Zilzalekê zêde mezin li vî mentîqê me çêbû, li Çiyayê Lêlûn xast... A very large earthquake occurred in our region, specifically on Mount Lelun...
Bêtir asarên henî gihelweşandin. It mostly destroyed the existing ruins.
Ji ber ku kevirê xwe hemî yexîyan dikin ê kelan e? Because all the stones resemble those of castles?
Ê kelan e, erê zaten ê kelan e. Yes of castles, yes indeed of castles.
Wekî dibêjim ewa zilzal, pêncsed û bîst û heştê mîladî da, zaten zilzalek li vî mentîqê me xist, zilzalekî mezin bû. As I am saying, that earthquake, in 528 AD, essentially an earthquake struck our region, it was a big earthquake.
Girêdayî wê, Keleha Semanê hew jî hilweşiya yanî wî demî. Connected to that, the Castle of Saint Simeon also collapsed at that time.
Ên evan jî girêdayî Keleha Semanê ye? Are these also connected to the Castle of Saint Simeon?
Girêdayî, na, Keleha Semanê belkî em bibêjin nû ye. Connected, no, the Castle of Saint Simeon is perhaps, let's say, new.
Nû ye. It is new.
E nû ye, yanî di fatra Bîzantî da hewa teşkîl bû. Yes it is new, meaning it was formed in the Byzantine period.
Di çarsed û heftê û şeşan da hata girtin Keleha Semanê. In 476 the Castle of Saint Simeon was occupied/built.
Çarsed û heftê û şeşan da hata girtin, de û çar salan zaten way dirêj kir. In 476 it was occupied/built, indeed it lasted fourteen years.
Û jê û şûnda zaten netîca wî zilzalê zaten hilweşiya. And after that, actually as a result of that earthquake, it collapsed.
Vir jî, meselen miletê vê derê, belkî mezele ginde, hev mezelê vî miletê vê derê bûn, berê vê derê bî ye, hev mezelê van e. Here too, for example the people of this place, perhaps the tombs of the village, these were the tombs of the people here, formerly here, these are their tombs.
Ev şikefta hene, meselen milet divir da radibû rûdinişt. These caves exist, for example people used to live/stay here.
Debarê xwa dikirin, yanî ji vê derê dikirin. They made their living, meaning they made it from here.
Mamosta çiqas şikeft li vir hene? Teacher, how many caves are here?
Bi Xwedê jmareke pir heye. By God, there is a large number.
Av li vir heye? Is there water here?
Av heye, du bîr hene li vê derê, wek sarnican e. There is water, there are two wells here, like cisterns.
Av zivistanê tê da gol dibû, der dibû. Water would pool in them during winter, it would come out.
Milet debarê xwa jê dikir. The people sustained themselves from it.
Yek vêra dibên Bîra Sor, û yekî jî vêra dibên Bîra Kevzê. One they call the Red Well, and one they call the Green Well (Algae Well).
Yek rengê ginde bere sorî tê xuyan, hulim û nav lê kirine Sor. One, the color of the soil inside looks reddish, so they named it Red.
Û ê kevzê jî, netîce kevz tê da pir heye, nav lê kirin Bîra Kevzê ye. And the green one, as a result there is a lot of algae/moss in it, they named it the Green Well.
Ê mamosta, navbera vê Celemê kevin û Celemê nû... Celemê den... gund... çiqas kîlometre heye? So Teacher, between this old Jeleme and the new Jeleme... the Jeleme below... the village... how many kilometers are there?
Bi Xwedê sê kîlometre heban. By God, there would be three kilometers.
Sê kîlometre? Three kilometers?
Sê kîlometre heban. There would be three kilometers.
Lê, ama, tişkî din mera bibê, belkî di dîrokê da pir tişt ser Celemê kesî waze nekiriye. But, however, let me tell you one more thing, perhaps in history, no one has clarified many things about Jeleme.
Ewa mibê, neketîye wateya ginde, yanî wateya Celemê bi xwa dernexistine. As I say, they haven't gotten into the meaning of the [name], meaning they haven't uncovered the meaning of Jeleme itself.
Belkî em bibêjin, hinek bi zimanê Erebî dibêjin, "parçek ji goşt e". Perhaps let's say, some say in the Arabic language, "it is a piece of meat".
Yanî ecemê Ereba da dibên parçek ji goşt e. Meaning in the dictionary of Arabs they say it is a piece of meat.
Yan em dibêjin tiştek wek ebring, tiştekî te pehê rûyê qutkî, ê dewara dera. Or we say something like dappled, something you... [description of texture], of the cattle around.
Lê rastî da, girêdana me go, bil-esil, milet li wuderê nîştecîh bûye. But in reality, our connection, as I said, originally, the people were settled there.
Milet war tefkîr kiriye ku berê vê derê kevn e, lê ne raste, e kevn zêdetir wuderê ye, yanî kevnava Celemê. The people thought that this place was the old one, but it's not true, the old one is mostly over there, meaning the ruins of Jeleme.
Ama wateya ginde bi erebî belkî... ne raste, ne cîda ye. But the meaning of the [name] in Arabic perhaps... is not true, is not accurate.
Lê bêtir me go belkî Mîthaniya Hûriya li vê derê hukim kirine, nav dîsa dimîne Kurdî. But mostly we said perhaps the Mitannis and Hurrians ruled here, the name still remains Kurdish.
Nav dîsa dimîne Kurdî. The name still remains Kurdish.
Belkî di fatra Bîzantî da navê vî gundî "Mêr Biyê". Perhaps in the Byzantine period the name of this village was "Mer Biye".
"Mêr Bî", yanî "Mêr Bî" ke... wek bi Erebî dibên "kun reculen", yanî ew mesele rucûliyetê. "Mer Bi" (Be a man), meaning "Mer Bi" that... like in Arabic they say "kun rajulan" (be a man), meaning that issue of manhood.
Lê di rastî da, em demê em şerh bikin, "Celemê" çî ye bi Kurdî da... "Ciyê Lemê". But in reality, when we explain, what is "Jeleme" in Kurdish... [It is] "Ciyê Lemê" (Place of gathering/mud/water).
"Cî", mekan tê. "Cî", means place/location.
Erê, belê. Yes, indeed.
"Lem lem", demê av diherike. "Lem lem", when water flows.
Yanî "Ciyê Lemê" em kanin bibêjin wek "Ciyê Çolê", d'avê zêdetir kom bûni. Meaning "Ciyê Lemê", we can say like "Place of the depression/marsh", where water gathered more.
Jiber îno pir... Celemê zêdetirî bahrê hilnaqşîz... yanî belkî em bibêjin bi sed metra... Because many... Jeleme is mostly above sea level... meaning perhaps let's say by a hundred meters...
Zêdetir belkî sedî jî derbaz neke. Perhaps it doesn't even exceed a hundred more.
Netîce vê derê çibûye, kanî ginde pir bûn e, avê ginde pir bûn e, derbûye. As a result what was this place, its springs were many, its waters were many, it came out.
"Ciyê Lemê", yanî ciyê avê. "Ciyê Lemê", meaning the place of water.
Wek em bibêjin, ser ginde da, "Celb Lem". Like we say, on top of it, "Celb Lem" (Attract/Gather Lem).
"Celb"... tînin yan na? Em bibêjin her tişt "Celb" tê. "Celb" (Attraction/Fetching)... do they bring it or not? Let's say everything comes as "Celb".
Belê. Yes.
Lê bes em kurtabir dikin, em dibêjin "Cî-Lemê". But we just abbreviate it, we say "Ci-Leme".
Em beh, tîpê "H" em jê radikin, dibe "Celem". We... the letter "H" [or sound change], we remove it, it becomes "Celem".
Mamosta, nava behsa gundê Celemê kir, wateya wê kir. Deşta Jûmê, gundê we jî li Deşta Jûmê dikeve. Teacher, you discussed the village of Jeleme, its meaning. The Jume Plain, your village is also located in the Jume Plain.
Navê Jûmê ji ku hatiye? Where does the name Jume come from?
Bi Xwedê navê Jûmê, ez tişkêş dera bêjim, Jûm jî hew jî bi Kurdî tê. By God, the name Jume, let me tell you something about it, Jume also comes from Kurdish.
Belkî di zimanê Erebî da jê mera dibên "Jûm", yanî wateya "Kasa"kê dide, Kaseyê. Perhaps in the Arabic language they tell us "Jum", meaning it gives the meaning of a "Cup", a Bowl.
"Jûme", yanî cem'ê kaseyê, el-ku'ûs dibên. "Jume", meaning the plural of cup, they say "al-ku'us" (the cups).
Lê bes em werin di wateyekê da, meselen yelî cografiyetê da, em bibêjin cografiyetek "Kase". But if we come to a meaning, for example in geography, let's say a "Cup" geography.
Wateya kaseyê nade yanî. It doesn't give the meaning of a cup, really.
Em biftilin ser zimanê Siryanî, zimanê Siryanî jî wateyeke Jûmê didin... If we turn to the Syriac language, the Syriac language also gives a meaning for Jume...
Ino Helaq e, por dibirin, ya em bibêjin wî kesî qesab e. That it is a Barber, who cuts hair, or let's say that person is a Butcher.
Ê di yelîkî cografî da jî tû wateyê nade yanî. And in a geographical sense, it gives no meaning either.
Bes dema em bibêjin tiştekî eşq di tiştekî nerm da dema mera çik dike, dibe tê da "Jûm" bû. But when we say something [sharp/stick] sticks into something soft when one inserts it, it becomes "Jum" in it [sunk in].
Em te spas dikin ser vê agahîyan mamosta. Pir spas şitera. We thank you for this information, teacher. Many thanks to you.
Ser serîm, ser çavîm, spas. You're welcome, on my eyes, thanks.
Di dema bûrî de, gundekî kevnar ê Celemê mîna şikeftan hebû, sê kîlometre dûrî bajarê nû ye. In the past time, there was an ancient village of Jeleme like caves, it is three kilometers far from the new town [site].
Ew gundê kevnar ji sê malbatan pêk hatibû. That ancient village was composed of three families.
Di wê demê de, wan kesan çêlek û pez xwedî dikirin. In that time, those people raised cows and sheep.
Titûn, nîsk, genim û ceh jî diçandin, ji bo peydakirina jiyanê. They also planted tobacco, lentils, wheat, and barley, to provide for life.
Di şûnwarê Celemê kevin de, mirov dikare gelek kevnneşopiyên şaristaniya serdema bûrî bibîne. In the ruins of old Jeleme, one can see many ancient traces of the civilization of the past era.
Herwek şikeft, goristan, bîrên avê, û çavkaniyên derxistina kevirên xaniyan. Such as caves, cemeteries, water wells, and sources [quarries] for extracting stones for houses.
Lê tiştê herî balkêş, wêneyê serê ga ye, ku nîşana serweriya împeratoriya Hûrî, ango Mîtanî dida. But the most interesting thing is the image of the bull's head, which indicated the sovereignty of the Hurrian empire, or the Mitanni.
Du bîrên avê di wê demê de hebûn. Yek bîra bi navê Sor, û duyem bi navê Bîra Kevzê bûn. There were two water wells in that time. One was the well named Red, and the second was named the Green Well.
Di werza havînê de, gundî dadigerîn deştê, û li derdora cihê bi navê Keşik û Çeta werdê rûdiniştin. In the summer season, the villagers would go down to the plain, and settle around the place named Keshik and Cheta.
Belê temaşevanên hêja, di gundê Celemê de jî, gundê Celemê tenaz kirin, piraniya gundê Celemê karê titûnê dikin û îsota dikin. Yes dear viewers, in the village of Jeleme too, they identified the village of Jeleme, the majority of Jeleme village does tobacco work and pepper work.
Em derbazî vir bûn, li virra jî kar dikin, karê titûnê dikin. Niha emê bipirsin ji xwediyê titûnê, kîngî dest bi vî karî dikin. Merheba şitera. We passed by here, they are working here too, doing tobacco work. Now we will ask the owner of the tobacco when they start this work. Hello to you.
Ehlen we sehlen birayê delal, ser çava. Welcome dear brother, upon my eyes.

Niha dema titûnê, dema wî karî dikin? Is it now the time for tobacco, the time they do this work?
Welle ji meha Çila da dest pê dibe. Well, it starts from the month of January (the forty days of winter).
Ji devê zivistanê da, nîvê zivistanê da... From the beginning of winter, in the middle of winter...
Ewa destpêkê demê hûn diçînin? That is the beginning when you plant?
Destpêkê da, hewa çandina meştela, ji çilî da emê dest pê bikin, meştelê xwa çêkin. In the beginning, indeed the planting of the nurseries, from January we start, we make our nurseries.
Heta nî, bi meha Nîsanê, bîstî Nîsanê, yekî Ayarê, bi şiklê am dest pê dibe. Until now, in the month of April, 20th of April, 1st of May, in general form it starts.
Piştî şitlî me gişt, emê derxin bibin erd, erdê me bikun amade ne, me heblê xwe ra kirine, mecloyê xwe çêkirine. After our seedlings have matured, we take them out to the field/ground, our ground is ready, we have laid our drip lines, we have made our plastic tunnels.
Û emê şitlê xwe li virra bikin, emalî xwe cawiz bikin û hubûb herna erd. And we will put our seedlings here, prepare our workers and grains go into the ground.
Di erdê di yekî Ayarê da texrîben milet bi şiklê am dest pê dike. In the ground, on the 1st of May approximately, people generally start.
Û emê biçînin. And we will plant.
Ser avê wî ye, pî wî ra kolan tê. It's upon its water, after that comes the hoeing.
Piştî kolanê, emê bîlin medokî wekî fetrokî bîst rokî, heta bîst pênc ro. After hoeing, we leave it for a period of like twenty days, up to twenty-five days.
Biftilin semadê xwe... bibin herin, pêşiyê da semadê xwe li şitlî xwe xînin li erd, û pê ra av den. We turn to our fertilizer... we take it, first we put our fertilizer on our seedlings in the ground, and then give water.
Heta şitlî me digihîje. Şitlî me gihîşt şûnda... culiwî wî zer dibe, ortaq... Until our seedling matures. After our seedling has matured... its leaves turn yellow, the middle...
Bêla dike no qut... qutkirina xwe tê. It starts to... its cutting [time] comes.
Û emê dest bi qutkirinê bikin. And we will start the cutting.
No destpêkê kîngî va qut kir? Now, in the beginning when was it cut?
Destpêkê yekî hefta dest pê dibe. In the beginning, the first week [of harvest] it starts.
No jî em ketin meha nehê? Now we have entered the ninth month?
Meha nehê, texrîben sê meh, du meh û nîv û sê meh berxwa dide. The ninth month, approximately three months, two and a half to three months it lasts.
Û çend cara qut dikin? And how many times do you cut?
Eva sê cara qut dibe. This is cut three times.
Cara yekê, yekî hefta dest pê dibe... me qut kir şûnda, emê biftilin, avekî û du avan pê dinê, bikun be'dî wî dîsa şitlî me gihîşt û kemilî, emê biftilin cara qetfê duyê. The first time, it starts in the first week [or 1st of 7th month?]... after we cut, we return, give it one or two waters, so that after that our seedling matures and completes again, we turn to the second picking time.
Xwefê didiyê me qut kir, disa em didanîn... We cut the drying [tobacco], then we let it sit...
Ew nêzîkî bîst rojan e, bîst û pênc rojan e, bîst û du rojan e. Bîst heta bîst û pênc rojan e. It takes about twenty days, twenty-five days, or twenty-two days. It's twenty to twenty-five days.
Na, ji ev a dawî ye? No, is this the final stage?
Ev a qutkirina dawî ye. Talî ye ev a. This is the final cutting [harvesting]. This is the last of it.
Naha Hesen, berî şoreşê we difirot kê? Naha piştî şoreşê hûn difiroşin kê? Now Hesen, before the revolution, who did you sell to? And now after the revolution, who do you sell to?
Berî şoreşê me difirot dewletê. Before the revolution, we sold to the state.
Dewletê jê we dikirî? Did the state buy it from you?
Dewletê jê me dikirî, nîzamî. Risqetê me hebûn. Rêcê me li Xezwiyê bû. Ferek jê li Xezwiyê bû. Me radikir Xezwiyê. The state bought it from us, formally. We had licenses. Our Regie [Tobacco Monopoly office] was in Ghazawiyah. A branch of it was in Ghazawiyah. We transported it to Ghazawiyah.
Yekê dehê, duê dehê dest pê dikir. Du meha, sê meha berxwedida hesêbî kemiyê te çendane. Heta nîv xelas dikir. It would start on the first or second of October. It would last two or three months, depending on your quantity. Until half of it was finished.
Ew perê xwe li ser bûn. Piştî vê şoreşê, êdî ticar har derketin. Î feramê dixwaze, î texastê pê tê, zehmetê çê dikin, ne wekî berê ye. The money was guaranteed. After this revolution, wild merchants appeared. One wants 'farama' [chopped], one comes with requests, they create difficulties, it's not like before.
Kû derê ticar tên? Where do the merchants come from?
Ticar ji piî idlibê ne. The merchants are mostly from Idlib.
Kes ji Efrînê tûnene? Are there none from Afrin?
Kes ji Efrînê kêm in erê. Pir kêm in. Those from Afrin are few, yes. Very few.
Î naha berê Hesen, ev tîtûna, kujan cixare jê çê dibê? Now, Hesen, regarding this tobacco, which cigarettes are made from it?
Hema vayi qaçax vê dibêjin jê çê dibe. Vayî lef. Just this "contraband" [loose tobacco] as they call it, is made from it. The roll-your-own kind.
De berî jî dewletê geşme dikir, êdî Hemra û van ê ecnebî giş jê çê dibûn. Before, the state processed it, so Hamra and all those foreign types were made from it.
Bes hewa noka fermandina xwe hûr dikin, bes zêdî lef, nikan jê derxînin. But now, for their own consumption, they chop it fine, but mostly for rolling, they can't extract [commercial cigarettes] from it.
Hew muameleyên cem tinen in ha. Hew pêşketina cema tinen in ha. Ne wekî dewletê. There aren't those kinds of treatments here. There isn't that kind of advanced processing here. Not like the state's.
Mala te ava be, serkeftinê ji te ra dixwazim. May your home be prosperous, I wish you success.
Tu sax bi, ehlen we sehlen ji hatina we ra. Ser çavê me, ehlen we sehlen. May you be healthy, welcome to your visit. Upon my eyes [you are welcome], welcome.
[Mûzîk] [Music]
Şînayiya gundê Celemê, ji demeke mêj da di hezkirina tîtûnê da dixebitin. The greenery of the village of Celemê; they have been working in the cultivation of tobacco for a long time.
Ku di çile da diçînin û di tîrmehê da diçinin. Which they plant in January and harvest in July.
Weke ku çawa mirov jiyanê rê diche, hiltîne tako baş hişk bibe û dûvre bi makîneyê qut dikin û difroşin. Just as man weaves life, they hang it up until it dries well, and afterwards they cut it with a machine and sell it.
Belê temaşevanên hêja, em jî cem xwediyê tîtûnê bira binêrin ka çawa hişk dikin, li vira jî tîtûn tînin vira, li vir jî hûr dikin, dikin ji bo paketê. Yes, dear viewers, we are with the owner of the tobacco, let's see how they dry it. Here they bring the tobacco, and here they chop it, preparing it for packets.
Naha em ê ji xwedêkî bipirsin. Merhaba ji te ra. Now we will ask the owner. Hello to you.
Ehlen we sehlen, keremke. Welcome, please.
Em navê we bi xêr, navê te? May we have your good name, your name?
Navê min Fadil, ji Celemê. My name is Fadil, from Celemê.
Ser çavê min apê Fadil. Naha ev çend makîne di gund da hene? You are welcome, Uncle Fadil. Now, how many machines are there in the village?
Naha çar makîne di gund da hene. Em jî anîne em difermînin, dikin tîtûna qaçax, em dibin bazarê difiroşin. Currently, there are four machines in the village. We brought them, we process it, making "contraband" [loose] tobacco, and we take it to the market to sell.
Naha te go çar, ev berê tunebûn ne? Now you said four, these didn't exist before, right?
Berê tunebûn, bes karê me ev zîraet e, ev tîtûn e. They didn't exist before, but our work is this agriculture, this tobacco.
Naha hûn çawa, berî hûn bînin vir dikin, hûn çawa dikin li vira? Now, how do you... before you bring it here, what do you do to it here?
Em viderê ve dikin, em tîtûnê rutûbê dikin, dikin viderê, û em difermînin dikin ser textê û şefre dixwiyê, qut dike. We spread it out here, we moisten the tobacco, place it here, process it onto the 'text' [pressing block], and the blade hits it, cutting it.
Naha ev e? Is this it now?
Hm, ev e. Hm, this is it.
Eva tîtûnê em şil dikin, em ê rutûbê bikin, em ê paşê ji vana benîka derxin, û em ê paşê têkin, ê çividere ser textê, mekbês e, bidaxînin, û ê paşê şefra qut ke. This tobacco, we wet it, we create humidity in it, then we remove the strings from it, and then put it in, it goes here onto the block, it's a press, we press it down, and then the blade cuts it.
Ê piştî vê, naha ev a temam e, ne hana? Ev a. And after this, now this is finished, isn't it? This here.
Ana, bi ya tîtûn. Nesîb cixara ê lefke vexe. Here, take the tobacco. Whoever is destined to smoke a rolled cigarette [will smoke it].
Ev bes sanawî dikin, yan carek da hûn lêdixin? Do you do this [process] twice, or do you cut it all at once?
Na ev a hana tê va, ev a hana. Hana, hişkokî tê va hana. Dibe, êdima ê lef. Weke î cixare. Hûr dibe, pelçiqandî nabe. Bi reqê genê dipeyçin, dibe tîtûn wekî ê hemûyî tê vexwarin. No, it comes out like this. Like this. It comes out dry like this. It becomes [tobacco] for rolling. Like cigarette [tobacco]. It becomes fine, not crushed. They roll it with thin paper, it becomes tobacco that is smoked like all others.
[Dengê Makîneyê] [Sound of the machine]
...Şefra qata'a ye, qut dike. Va dike tîtûn, em destê xwe hûl dipeyfin, dibe tîtûn, a hewa kîlo kîlo başqa dibe. ...The blade is a cutter, it cuts. It turns it into tobacco, we sift/rub it with our hands, it becomes tobacco, and like that, kilo by kilo, it gets separated.
Mala te ava be, seetxweş. May your home be prosperous, thanks/health to you.
Ê te jî xweş be, ehlen we sehlen. Yours as well, welcome.
[Mûzîk] [Music]
Belê temaşevanên hêja, di gundê Celemê da îna em digerin. Naha em derbasî malekî jî bûn, mala jî, jinek divê malê da heye derman çêdike. Bi destan çêdike. Yes, dear viewers, we are touring in the village of Celemê. Now we have entered a house, in this house, there is a woman who makes medicine. She makes it by hand.
Me go naha em ê bipirsin çawa çêdike. Dayê merhaba ji te ra. We said we would ask now how she makes it. Mother, hello to you.
Ehlen we sehlen bavê... Welcome, father [term of respect]...
Em te nas bikin destpêkê? May we know you first?
Ez ji mala Kurmanc im, ji mala Mihemed Eyûb im. E kulfetî min Ereb e. Wa ez di vî tiştî va dermanî derxist, em çêdikin. I am from a Kurmanj [Kurdish] family, from the Muhammad Ayoub family. My husband's family [or my household] is Arab. So, I brought out this medicine in these things, we make it.
Ser serê min. Malbat Ereb e, tu tenê Kurmanc î? Upon my head [respect]. The family is Arab, only you are Kurmanj?
Ez Kurmanc im. Tenê ez Kurmanc im li vî derî. I am Kurmanj. Only I am Kurmanj in this place.
Tu ji gundê Celemê yî? Are you from the village of Celemê?
Ez ji gundê Celemê me. I am from the village of Celemê.
Ser serê min dayê. Upon my head, mother.
Xwedê te sehke. May God protect you.
Tu vî karî dikî, naha xweş dên dikî? You do this work, do you pay good attention to it?
Erê, xweş dên dikim. Yes, I pay good attention.
Ser serê min. Dayê naha tu derman çêdikî? Gotin tu derman çêdikî? Upon my head. Mother, now you make medicine? They said you make medicine?
Gotin tu di gund da go behsa te kirin. Gotin tu derman çêdikî. Me ji meraq kir em derbasî cem te bibin. Tu dermanê çi çêdikî? They spoke about you in the village. They said you make medicine. We were curious so we stopped by. What kind of medicine do you make?
Ez dermanê Mêristanê çêdikim bavô. Ez du kucik tînim, du kutan, didim ser destî, Mêristan, çêdibe, elhemdulîlah. Bi destê min da. I make medicine for "Mêristan" [burns/sores], father. I bring two spoonfuls, two pounds [quantities], I put it on the hand, the Mêristan heals, praise be to God. Through my hands.
Naha Mêristan, berî vê jî em çûn malbatekî gundekî, gundê Sînkê. Taybet gotin eva destê me ye. Now regarding Mêristan, before this we went to a family in a village, the village of Sînkê. Specifically, they said "this is our specialty" [our hand].
Gotin çu derman tune ye, behsa dermanê kirin. Ewan bi şefre lê dixist, çê dibûnê. Ba te jî derman heye. They said there is no medicine, they talked about the treatment. They used to strike it with a blade, and it would heal. But you have medicine.
E navê dermanê te çi ye? Ev çawîra çi ye? And what is the name of your medicine? What is this ointment?
Çawîra Wale ne, ev çawîra ez nizanim navê xwa çi ye. De ciya da, merî mezin ji min mestir hene zane, ez nizanim. Bes dibêjin çawîra Wale. It's "Wale" ointment, I don't know what its [specific] name is. In the place [origin], there are people older than me who know, I don't know. They just call it Wale ointment.
Hm, ji vî çawîrê çêdibe? Hm, and it heals from this ointment?
Erê, ji vî çawîrê çêdibe. Yes, it heals from this ointment.
Ev çawîra li kû derê dibe? Where does this ointment [plant/ingredient] grow?
Li çiyê dibe, li... de li çiyo dibe, çiyo. Çiyo dibe, li deştê dibe, hewa yanî... dera dibe îştele. It grows in the mountains, in... well, in the mountains, mountains. It grows in the mountains, it grows in the plains, so... it grows in places, basically.
Naha dorê malê me çêdibe? Does it grow around our houses now?
Heta hûr dibe. Hûr dibe, û agir pê dikeve, û didim ser. Until it becomes fine/minced. It gets minced, and fire touches it [it burns/is heated?], and I apply it.
Kû derê Mêristan lê heye? Wherever there is Mêristan [burn/sore] on someone?
Erê, didim ser. Weke din Mêristan têne ba min naşewite, ê girêdidim. Nîv seetê bimîne bes e. Yes, I apply it. Otherwise, if Mêristan comes to me and it isn't burning [painful?], I bandage it. If it stays for half an hour, that's enough.
Piştî nîv seetê êş namîne? After half an hour, the pain is gone?
Çi dibe? Dişewite. Dişewitîne. Heta ji Mêristan heye dişewitîne. Ciyê Mêristan tenê naşewite. What happens? It burns. It causes burning. Even if there is Mêristan, it burns it. Only the Mêristan spot does not burn [or implies the medicine burns out the disease].
Û piştî nîv seetê radikê, û çêdibe? And after half an hour you remove it, and it heals?
Ê radike, baş e, çêdibe. Yes remove it, it's good, it heals.
Ê çend rojan berxwedide heya çêdibe? And how many days does it take until it is healed?
Pênc roj, şeş roj, hesebî yanî, heke bavê pirr bilê, ew bike, çiçikê dirêj dike. Çîçik zêdke derke, bes filheşq nebe. Wekî din. Five days, six days, it depends, meaning if it... swells a lot, does that, it takes a bit longer. It secretes a bit more [pus/fluid], provided it doesn't get infected. That's it.
Ê ve, tu piştî ve... tiştekî din tu dikî? Te got zarokan? And this, after this... do you do anything else? You mentioned children?
Tu ji zarokan çi çêdikî ne? What do you cure for children?
Ê wele, heye qicika... tînin tê cem min, ez hilînê serdigerînim, qicik çêdibin. Well, there are little ones... they bring them to me, I treat/fix the "Hilîn" [fallen palate/cranial issue], the little ones get better.
Yanî çawa, yanî zarok tê cem te yanî? Meaning how, meaning the child comes to you?
Derê wî dişkên yanî? Yan çi tişt e? Do they have a broken part? Or what is it?
Na, bes dêşe. Tînin tê cem min, ez hilînê digerînim sero. Kû derê şî ba û wir dihele, çiçik or bû serdikim, dipêçim, wa qaçqo çêrehet dibe, du heta ro yê din. No, just pain. They bring them to me, I adjust/return the "Hilîn" on the head. Wherever it is swollen and there... [unclear], I fix it a bit, wrap it, and the shell/crust becomes comfortable, two until the next day.
Yako, ev zarokê kêlekê te çawa tu dikî? Ka bîne em sehke. Like, this child next to you, how do you do it? Bring him, let's see.
Ka zarok wîne. Bring the child.
Ah, zarokê vay. Ah, this child here.
Hih. Hih. [Sound of effort/demonstration]
Tu çawa hekê serdigerînî? Ka ji min ra bêje. How do you return/fix the... egg/head? Tell me.
Sergizikê gindiro, hana, serpşitê ro, gi digerînim. Va hilînê. The fontanelle rolling... like this, over the back, I rotate it all. This "Hilîn".
Va heko. This here.
[Mûzîk] [Music]

Bes êşî be, xwa dihele. Wa ardî jî boş e ser dikim, û wa paşê jî didime ser û pêdipêçim. As long as it hurts, it subsides [with treatment]. I put plenty of this flour [powder] on it, and then I put this on top and wrap it.

Ser çavê te sa, ehlen we sehlen bi hatina we, û em pir bi kêfxweş in, Xwedê ji we razî be. Upon your eyes too, welcome to your visit, and we are very happy, may God be pleased with you.
Tu bi xêr hatî mamoste. Welcome, sir.
Ser çava, imkan hebe xwe bide naskirin. You are welcome. If possible, please introduce yourself.
Navê min Evdirehman Sofî ye. My name is Evdirehman Sofi.
Sofî? Sofi?
Sofî. Sofi.
Apê Evdirehman go tu ji me re bêjî tu çi çêdikî? Ev çi ye? Uncle Evdirehman, can you tell us what you are making? What is this?
Ê ma ji xwe xwest, em derbasî cem we bûn, em anîse biken... Well, it was requested, we came to you, to keep you company...
Em ê waê çêkirî, wek tiştekî, ji ber çava... We have made this, like a thing, for [people] to see...
Ahlen we sehlen. You are most welcome.
Tiştê me çêkirî, yanî meraqek tê me, em tiştek gerek dibe em ji xwe re çêdikin. The things we made... meaning, we get a desire/curiosity, when we need something, we make it for ourselves.
Wekî mînak, hesk çêkiriye. For example, [I] have made a saddlebag/container.
Û şûmê... And a... [unclear term, possibly a type of vessel].
Tepsî gerek e, şûmê mîst gerek e. A tray is needed, a pitcher container is needed.
Her tişta gerek e. Bêjing me çêkiriye, mesela şûmê genim gerek e. Everything is needed. We have made sieves, for example, a wheat container is needed.
Genim pê lêdikin, derdixin. They thresh the wheat with it, they take it out.
Cacar ev tiştên kevin in? Are these ancient things?
Cacar me çêkiriye, tûrasê kevn e. We have made threshing sleds, it is an old heritage.
Belê. Yes.
Ev tûrasê kevn e, me got bila wara dîn li cem me. This is an old heritage, we said let it be seen/preserved with us.
Min didu çêkirin, ji herdû bûkên xwe re, her yekiyek mijêr çêkir. I made two, for my two daughters-in-law, I made a mijêr (container) for each one.
Lew ne, bi e'tîbar hew na nizanin noka. Because, consider that they [the young generation] don't know this now.
Nedîne. They haven't seen it.
Nedîne û nezanin. They haven't seen it and they don't know it.
Û ne jîlê noka zane. And the current generation doesn't know either.
Ê tu zanî, li bajarê me yê Kobanê, yan ji li gundên me, ez hîn dibînim car car li pir gunda jî hene, hîn hene. You know, in our city Kobani, or in our villages, I still see sometimes in many villages they exist, they still exist.
Erê raste car carên kevn hene. Yes, it's true, old threshing sleds exist.
Û pir jî hene nizanin. And there are many who don't know [how to use/make them].
Belê. Yes.
Ê dînî zanin, ê nedînî nizanin. The one who has seen it knows, the one who hasn't doesn't know.
Erê ji ber go bîst û bîst û pênc sal e rabûne. Yes, because it has been twenty or twenty-five years since they disappeared [from use].
Teqrîben sîh sal be rabûye, ser sîh salî re be rabûye. Approximately thirty years since it disappeared, it's been over thirty years.
Berê ceme bêder hebû, der hebûn, hewa gî rabû, ser sîh salî re. Before, we had threshing floors, harvests, all that is gone, over thirty years ago.
Ê meşk me çêkir, bi e'tîbar meşk nedîne. So we made a churn, considering they haven't seen a churn.
Me got em çêkin, bila zane bin, qalik, navê meşkê, bila zane bin çiye. We said let's make it, so they would be knowledgeable, the shell, the name of the churn, so they know what it is.
Berê têde dew dikilan, rûn jê digirtin, derdixistin, yanî... In the past, they churned yogurt in it, extracted butter from it, took it out, meaning...
Îşta hewa berê ê mala bû. Look, that was formerly a household item.
Na ev çiye? And what is this?
Hewa libê darî ye, berê pê... ma ba'dê genim kuta xelas kir... This is the stalk [of the wheat], before with it... well, after beating the wheat and finishing...
Me pê li ba dikir. Pê genim derdixist. We used to winnow with it. We extracted wheat with it.
Me pê li ba dikir, genim derdiket. We winnowed with it, the wheat came out.
Genim me jê vediqetand. Ka diçû alîkî, genim li alîkî dima. We separated the wheat from it. The chaff went to one side, the wheat stayed on the other.
Me e ye tarixê kana çêkir. We made this historical item...
Wêra digot tarix e, me çêdikir. They called it history/tradition, so we made it.
Ê genim. The wheat.
Hewa karê xwe hewa, bes. That is its function, that's all.
Noka Apê Evdirehman, ev tiştên tu çêdikî, te ev tenê çêkirî? Li bêtiyê ve tiştî heye? Now Uncle Evdirehman, these things you make, did you make only this? Is there more of this at home?
Hewa fice, tenê noka ew bû, yanî ba teleba me, me çêkir ano. That is... suddenly now it was that, meaning upon request, we made it just now.
Yanî em yavaş yavaş ji xwe re çêdikin, heta em... Meaning we make them slowly for ourselves, until we...
Te li kê dinirî? Te ev kar ji kê girt? Who were you watching? Who did you learn this work from?
Beriya me dî ye, me ji xwa girtiye, ne ji kesî. We saw those before us, we took it from ourselves [our own people], not from just anyone.
Yanî piştî te kes çêdike? Meaning, does anyone make it after you [will anyone continue]?
Na. No.
Necar digot na tinebû. The carpenter used to say no, there wasn't any.
Necar digot da hebû. The carpenter used to say there was.
Bes vê karê nedikirin. But they didn't do this work.
Vê karê nedikir. He didn't do this work.
Necara hevcar çêdikirin, da hîç yanî ew noka tiştekî çêdikir. Carpenters used to make tools together, or... meaning now he was making something.
Ê meşkê mezin çêdikirin berê. They used to make large churns in the past.
Hewa jimej, yanî teqrîben bû pêncî sal ji gund qut bûye. That is from long ago, meaning it has been cut off from the village for approximately fifty years.
E min got ez çêkim, bila ev tûrasa hinda nebe. So I said I will make it, so this heritage does not get lost.
Te difiroşî yan te ji mera çêkirî? Are you selling it or did you make it out of interest?
Me ji mera çêkiriye. We made it out of interest.
Me ji mera çêkiriye. Wêşme xişkê me zane bin, û ew kesên hatin cem min zane bin. We made it out of interest. So our sisters would know, and those people who come to me would know.
Seyda sax be, noka em ji cem Apê Adnan jî hinekî bipirsin. Bless you sir, now let us ask Uncle Adnan a little as well.
Apê Adnan. Uncle Adnan.

Welle berê wextê me ne çêdikirî, me her yek deh wereqan çêdikir. Bi deh a. Well, back when we weren't making [as many as now/or referencing youth], we used to make ten sheets each. Ten of them.

Ma berê wa ma hat û pir demê wî û nîv wereqê çêdikir? But before... [unclear phrase] ... and he made half a sheet?
Wî beriya me çêdikir. He made them before us.

Beriya me çêdikir. Te jî bi deha wereqa... He made them before us. You too with ten sheets...
Ê noka bi heftê û pênca çêdikim. So now I make seventy or fifty [likely meaning per week or season given age, or implying a slower rate].
