Kevlehê man de were, bi cîh dibin. Coming to the ruins left behind, they settle down.
Paşê ji bo ko, xwe ji dizî û çeteyan biparêzin, li hev kom dibin. Later, in order to protect themselves from theft and gangs, they gather together.
Û xaniyên xwe li nêzî hev ava dikin. And they build their houses near each other.
Apê Biş, merheba ji te ra. Uncle Bish, hello to you.
Merheba, ehlen we sehlen. Hello, welcome.
Ji hatina we ra, hûn serkeftin bin û înşallah em têm we hana bibînin. For your arrival, may you be successful, and God willing we will see you all like this.
Hûn herin werin û serkeftin bin. May you come and go [safely] and be successful.
Spas. Ser serî me, ser çavê me. Thank you. You are highly welcome [on our head and eyes].
Çavê te sax bin, serê te sax be. May your eyes be healthy, may your head be healthy [condolence or respect phrase].
Me gura derbazî gundê Ma'mela bîn. Me xwest em dîroka gundê Ma'mela nas bikin. We intended to pass through the village of Ma'mala. We wanted to get to know the history of Ma'mala village.
Ev gunda çiqas sal de çêbûye? How many years ago was this village built?
Wele ev gunda tarîxa xwe pir kevin e. Well, this village, its history is very old.
Teqrîben em karin bêjin, li mantiqê ev gunda tewî siftah e. Approximately we can say, in this region, this village is the very first.
Yanî du hudûdê hezar salî da heye, ev gunda heye. Meaning it is within the limits of a thousand years, this village exists.
Gundekî kevin e? It is an old village?
Kevin e. It is old.
Hûn çawa zanin qasî kevin e? How do you know it is so old?
Ê em tarîxa kolêd me hewa didin, em teqrîben noka deh-du bav a em nav a zanin. Well, the history of our excavations gives us that, we currently know the names of about ten to twelve generations (fathers).
Deh-du bav jî, yanî her yek heftê-heştê salî eyşîbese, me'ne tu hezar sal heye, texmîna me ewana ye. And ten to twelve generations, if each one lived seventy or eighty years, it means you have a thousand years, that is our estimation.
Ê ev gunda destpêkê kê ava kir? Kî hat vê gundî? And who founded this village in the beginning? Who came to this village?
Hawa... ev gunda esla vê aîlena gişt li vê dorê li çê bûn. Here... this village, originally all these families were [living] around this river/water.
Bûşber bûn. They were dispersed.
Destpêkê gund ne li vir bû? Initially the village wasn't here?
Ne li vir bû. Paşê Ma'm hat vê derê. It wasn't here. Later Ma'm came to this place.
Ke tehlîl em dibêjin, ev gunda bû Ma'mela, navê xwe. As an analysis we say, this village became Ma'mala, its name.
Me'ne îno Ma'm li vir bû. Meaning that Ma'm was here.
Paşê... ew hat, Hemze hat. Later... he came, Hamza came.
Paşê Hebîb hat. Û gund mezin bû yawaş yawaş, du we çaxê. Later Habib came. And the village grew slowly, at that time.
Ewna da jî eşqiya hebûn, digotin eşqiya, çete mete... In those times there were bandits, they called them bandits, gangs and such...
Wan tiştan, gişt serê hev de civîn, me'ne pişta hev bigrin. Those things, everyone gathered together, meaning to support one another.
Û noka aîlet hazir li meydanê hene? And now, are the families present in the square/village?
Çend malbat ne? How many families are there?
Teqrîben nod-sed malbat hene di gund da. Approximately ninety to a hundred families are in the village.
Tê karî navê wan ji me ra bêjî? Can you tell us their names?
Erê. Yes.
Ya sîdî... Elî Bego. My sir... Ali Bego.
Mala Simo, Mala Cafer, Mala Îbiş. House of Simo, House of Ja'far, House of Ibish.
Mala Ma'mo, Mala Heşoşo. House of Ma'mo, House of Hashosho.
Mala Zibêro, Mala Birîmê. House of Zibero, House of Birime.
Û malbatin din jî hene, cûcik in, Mala Hûrê heye, Mala Kurdî heye, yanî ew jî giştek li vir in. And there are other families too, small ones, House of Hure exists, House of Kurdi exists, meaning they are all here too.
Na ev gundî va çend mal in? Now, how many houses/families does this village have?
Wele nehat, hudûdê çarsed mal daye. Well currently, it's around the limit of four hundred houses.
Teqrîben heştsed mal jî jê çûye. Approximately eight hundred families have also left it.
Çûne kûderê? Where did they go?
Heta dilê te dixwaze çûne. Wherever your heart desires, they went.
Li Helebê pêncî-şêst malî me lê heye. In Aleppo, we have fifty or sixty families there.
Ê li Cindirêsê hene. There are some in Jinderes.
Tir, li Şiyê hene. Others, there are some in Shiye.
Pir belav bûye gundê me. Our village has become very scattered.
Nê ev gundekî kevin e, te got. Now, this is an old village, you said.
Nê ev gundê derdora we jî, wek gundê Xelîl e, gundê 'Umer o ye. Now these villages around you too, like Khalil village, Omaro village.
Dimilîkî we jî Dimilya ye. A part of you is also Dumiliya.
Ev gundê we jî serî çawa tî debara xwe dikirin? How did your village make a living in the beginning?
Wan dabara xwe bi çi dikin? What do they do for their livelihood?
Debara me berê vê çep, çewirmî me, vê derê çiya bûn. Our livelihood before this left [side], our grazing lands, this place was mountains.
Siftah dawar bû, pez bûn, çêl bûn. At first it was livestock, it was sheep, it was cows.
Paşê, kupçî ji Tirkiyê dihatin vê derê, vê çiya gi hilkirin. Later, merchants came from Turkey to this place, they cleared all these mountains.
Kirin ard, gi kirin zeytûn û rez. They made it land/soil, they made it all olives and vineyards.
Tewî siftah, ma'serê zeytê li vî gundî çêbûn. At the very beginning, olive presses were built in this village.
Pênc ma'ser çêbûn, vê ma'serana her malbateke ma'sereke xwe hebû. Five presses were built, of these presses, every family had their own press.
Yanî wek tê dibêjî destpêka zeytûn cem we da çêbû? Meaning, as you say, the beginning of olives happened with you?
Cem me da çêbûn. It happened with us.
Deşta Çaqala, Deşta Mistiko, Erendê, Şiyê dihatin li vê derê, rêba zeytûn dikişandin, me'ne zeytê xwe bikin. The plain of Chaqala, the plain of Mistiko, Arande, Shiye used to come to this place, bringing olives via the path, meaning to make their oil.
Ewa çend sal e? How many years is that?
'Emrê vê zeytûnêd me, du-sê sed sal heye. The age of these olive trees of ours, is two to three hundred years.
Wanê noka li pêş çavê te xuyaye, tu teswîr dikî. Those that are now visible before your eyes, that you are filming.
Sê sed sal? Three hundred years?
Hê. Yes.
Û di wê demê da jî ma'serê gundê me vê demê da çêbûn, pênc ma'ser. And in that time too, the presses of our village were built in that era, five presses.
Her malbetekî ma'serek xwe hebû. Every family had their own press.
Û hîn ji gunda zeytûn neçandibûn. And still the [other] villagers hadn't planted olives.
Gundê nîzîk me tenê debara xwe bi don û tînan li vir diherdên, dikirin zeyt. The villages near us only processed their livelihood of oil and figs here, they made oil.
Û di gundê we da jî noka bazarek jî ava kirîye, jixwe ra? And in your village now, a market has also been established, for yourselves?
Bazar jî teqrîben salek e me ava kirî. The market too, we established it approximately a year ago.
Hewa jî îcaza meclîsa gund e. This is also by the authorization of the village council.
Û Mistewsef ava kirin. And Mustafa [or Health Center/Dispensary staff] established it.
Û Heyva Sor ava kirin. And the Red Crescent established it.
Û li gund pir tişt ava bûn. And in the village many things were established.
Bi... cehdî meclîsa gund teb'en, î Hacer. With... the effort of the village council naturally, that of Hajar [or stone/solid effort].
Em jî serkeftin ji we ra dixwazin. We also wish success for you.
Saxbî, spas be. Ehlen we sehlen. Be healthy, thank you. Welcome.
Bi destpêka şoreşa rojavayê Kurdistanê, û rizgarkirina herêmê ji rejîma Ba'sê, şîniyên gundê Ma'mela meclîsa xwe ya gund ava kirin. With the beginning of the revolution of Rojava Kurdistan, and the liberation of the region from the Ba'ath regime, the residents of Ma'mala village established their own village council.
Piştî ku meclîsa gund hate avakirin, ji ber ku şîniyên gund û gundên derdora wê, pêdiviyên xwe peyda bikin, bazarek jî hate vekirin. After the village council was established, because the residents of the village and the surrounding villages needed to procure their necessities, a market was also opened.
Û heftane roja yekşemê, şîniyên gund û yên derdorê, berhemên xwe tînin bazarê û debara xwe jê dikin. And weekly on Sunday, the residents of the village and the surroundings bring their products to the market and make their living from it.
Belê temaşevanên hêja, di gundê Ma'mela da jî, bazarek jixwe ra ava kirine. Yes dear viewers, in the village of Ma'mala as well, they have established a market for themselves.
Meclîsa gund li hev civîn, gotin emê bazarekê jixwe ra peyda bikin. The village council gathered together, they said we will create a market for ourselves.
Ji ber ku ev gund gundekî mezin e, dûrî merkeza Efrînê ye. Because this village is a big village, it is far from the center of Afrin.
Got emê jixwe ra bazarekê ava bikin. Em derbasî bazarê jî bûn. They said we will establish a market for ourselves. We also entered the market.
Me dît meclîs li vir e. Emê naha navê wî bipirsin, kengî ev ava bûye bazar. We saw the council is here. We will now ask his/her name, when this market was established.
Merheba ji we ra. Hello to you.
Ehlen we sehlen. Bi xêr û selamet. Ehlen we sehlen bi kura Rojava TV. Welcome. In goodness and safety. Welcome to the Rojava TV son/crew.
Tu ser çava. You are welcome [on eyes].
Saxbî. Be healthy.
Ez biram, derbasî gundê we bûn, em derbasî bazarê jî bûn. I think, we entered your village, we entered the market too.
Me xwest em tiştekî li ser bazarê ji me ra xuyan bikin. Kengî we ev bazar ava kiriye? We wanted you to explain something about the market to us. When did you establish this market?
Teqrîben di meha du hezar û çarda... Approximately in the month of [year] two thousand and fourteen...
Meha pênca da me destpêkir. In the fifth month we started.
Me xwest em tiştekî ji jinan re jî kar bikin. We wanted to do something for the women as well.
Wek me dîtîye ku jinên hene zehmetê dibînin, meselan... As we have seen that the women there face difficulties, for example...
Rêberiya malê xwe dikin, mesûliyet dikeve stûyê wan. They manage their households, responsibility falls on their necks.
Ê her yekî, boastekî xot malê xwe da bekirîye. And everyone, has reserved a spot in their home.
Me xwest em hereketekî îro di gund da çêkin. We wanted to create a movement today in the village.
Ku ne ew jinên ew kesên werin, ku wek bazarê, çiqas di mala da be ne wek bazarê ye. So that not just those women and people come, that like a market, however much it is in the house it's not like a market.
Ku piçekî çavê alema giya... So that a little bit the eyes of the whole world...
Kanê hereketekî xwa, kanê xwa pêş xey, kanê miletê xwe, xwişkê xwe bi xwe ra bibin rêqê. Where is their movement, where do they advance themselves, where do they take their people, their sisters along with them on the way.
Ku em tiştekî, mesûliyetekê ser we rakin. So that we lift something, a responsibility, from upon you.
Û hem alîkariya wan jî bibin, hema destpêkê ku me xwest, ew jinan ji wê werin. And also to be of help to them, just as in the beginning we wanted, those women to come from there.
Wek hereketek di nav gundê me da çêbibe. Like a movement to happen inside our village.
Ku gundê me pir ji bajar dûr e, ji Efrînê dûr e. Because our village is very far from the city, far from Afrin.
Me xwest ewan ji hereketê ku li vir çêkin, zehmet dibînin diçûn bazara Efrînê û dihatin. We wanted them to create the movement here, they saw difficulty going to the Afrin market and coming back.
Me xwest em tiştekî, yanî nû, acer di nav gundê xwe da çêkin. We wanted to create something, meaning new, fresh inside our village.
Me ev bazara, hem pêfikirîn û me destpêkir. We both thought of this market and we started it.
Û di roja meha şeşê da, me wariya destpêkir, nîzamî 2014 a. And on the day of the sixth month, we started like that, regularly in 2014.
Vê bazara me destpêbû. This market of ours started.
Bi alîkariya meclîsê û wê rêberiyê ketê istar, teba'en me... With the help of the council and that leadership it got on track, naturally we...
Ser rûnî sikinî û me xebat kir. We stood on it [persisted] and we worked.
Hûn çend kes di meclîsê da ne? How many people are you in the council?
Wele, teqrîben em deh û sê kes in. Well, approximately we are thirteen people.
Em jî serkeftin ji we ra dixwazin, û pîroz be bazara we. We also wish success for you, and congratulations on your market.
Saxbî, spas. Be healthy, thanks.
Belê temaşevanên hêja, di vê bazarê da jî me dît kuşkarek heye. Yes dear viewers, in this market too we saw there is a shoemaker.

Di gundê Ma'mila da her wiha navendeke tenduristiyê, dermanxaneyek û navendeke gumrikê jî hene. In the village of Ma'mala, there is also a health center, a pharmacy, and a customs center.
Xebatên xwe bi rêk û pêk dimeşînin. They conduct their work regularly.
Her wiha sê me'serên zeytûnê yên derxistina zeytê yên kevnar jî hene. Also, there are three ancient olive presses for extracting oil.
Lê jiber ku me'serên nû derketin, ew hatine rawestandin. But because new presses appeared, they have been stopped.
Belê temaşevanên hêja, di gundê Ma'mila da jî me dî mista wsef û Heyva Sor va heye. Yes, dear viewers, in the village of Ma'mala, we also saw a dispensary and the Red Crescent.
Me got emê derbasî cem wan bibin, emê bi wan ra sohbet bikin. We said let's go visit them, we will chat with them.
Emê bipirsin kengî ev mista wsef û Heyva Sor li vir vebûye. We will ask when this dispensary and Red Crescent opened here.

Ev pênc meh hene berê tune bû? It's been five months, was it not here before?
Mista wsef tune bû, miletê me yê gund ee.. nazih ku hatine gund, diçûn Efrînê xwe mualice dikirin. There was no dispensary, our people of the village, uh.. the displaced who came to the village, used to go to Afrin to treat themselves.
Me mista wsef vekir û Heyva Sor jî me vekir, jibo xizmeta vî miletî. We opened the dispensary and we opened the Red Crescent too, to serve this people.

Yanî va ji bo gundê we ji Efrîn va dûr bû, milet hew nakin herin wêderê, va ji bo wan feyde bû? So, because your village was far from Afrin, people couldn't always go there, was this beneficial for them?
Mista wsef me li vir peyda kir û spasî ji meclîsa gund ra û ji desteya tenduristî ya Efrînê ku alîkariya me kirin. We established the dispensary here, and thanks to the village council and the Afrin health committee who helped us.
Mista wsef me li vir danî, derman ji me ra anîn, û cîhaz û sema'e û tişt pir ji me ra hawir kirin, spasî ji wan ra jî. We set up the dispensary here, they brought us medicine, and provided equipment and stethoscopes and many things for us, thanks to them too.
Belê temaşevanên hêja, di gundê Ma'mila da jî me tiştekî dîn emrê wan pir kevn e. Yes, dear viewers, in the village of Ma'mala, we saw something else whose age is very old.
Efrîn hemî tê naskirin bi zeytûnan. Wek gundî dibêjin destpêka zeytûn li vî gundî hatin çandin. Afrin is known entirely for olives. As the villagers say, the beginning of olive planting was in this village.
Jiber ku ev me'seran jî pir kevn e. Apo Osman yê dîrokê ji me ra bêje. Merhaba ji we ra. Because these presses are also very old. Uncle Osman will tell us the history. Hello to you.

Li dewar bûn. They were with animals.
Bes nahu tiştek nema, alet pê da nema? But now nothing remains, no tools remain in it?
Ê kevir mekbes, şûnde mekbes xirab bûn. The stone press (remains), afterwards the presses broke down.
Welle surete wava... siftê ev wa bî... By God, its image is like this... first this was...

Sikirandin? Closed down?
Nahu berê di vir zeyt derdiketin, me li vir. Closed down.
Nahu berê di vir zeyt derdiketin, me li vir. Now before, oil was extracted here, for us here.

Li desta bî, desta şadî... By hand, hand tightening...
Desta şadî, av germ dikirin, berdidan ser. Hand tightening, they heated water, poured it over.
Avê germ berdidan ser? They poured hot water over it?

Hewale Delal, ne yek bûn tevda bûn. Dear friend, not were one were together.
Ê eşîretî şêxo tevda bûn. The ones of the Şêxo tribe were all together.

Hevalê Delal, dîrokê vê odê... Dear friend, the history of this room...
... tarîxê wê li ser derî nivîsandî ye... ...its date is written on the door...
... hezar û sêsid û deh û heşt. ...1318.
Ev tarîxê hîcrî ye yan mîladî ye em nizanin. Is this Hijri or Miladi date we don't know.
Lê texmîna min hîcrî ye. But my guess is Hijri.
Ev oda bav û kalên me ye. This room is of our fathers and grandfathers.
Ev oda mehkema gund bû. This room was the court of the village.
Kê pirsgirêk hebû... Whoever had a problem...
... doz hebû, şer hebû, dihatin li vî derê li cem mezinê me... li vî derê çareser dibûn. ...had a case, had a fight, came here to our elders... here they were resolved.
Ev oda bi xwe... ne a gundê me bi tenê... This room itself... not of our village alone...
Ev oda a eşîreta me Şêxo tevda ye. This room belongs to our whole Şêxo tribe.
Tike behsa mîşiya da heta Meydanê, Kûsa... From Mîşiya to Meydan, Kûsa...
... ev nagi eşîreta Şêxo bûn. ...this area were Şêxo tribe.
Evna dihatin, dawê wana, dugşê wana, li vê odê hil dibûn. These came, their lawsuits, their fights, in this room were held.
Çareser dibûn. Were resolved.
Ev oda bi xwe mekteb gund bû. This room itself was the village school.
Mektebek rastî bû, ê exlaqî bû, edebî bû, terbiyayê bû. A real school, of morals, of literature, of upbringing.
Yanî heta niha em li ser terbiyayê, li ser rûniştina vê odê em diçin. Meaning until now we live by the upbringing, by the etiquette of this room.
Tu dinihêrî banê wî çiqas bilind e. You see its roof how high it is.
Banê vê ewa bilind kirî. The roof of this, they made high.
Manê kes lingê çenakê ser hev. Meaning no one [puts] leg on top of [other] leg.
Ji bo wê bilind bûye? For that it became high?
Ji bo wê bilind bûye bes. For that it became high only.
Manî hew wek wek me niha em çu rûniştine, wa rûnin. Yek lingê çenakê ser hev... Meaning just like like us now we sit like this, sit like that. One leg on top of leg...
... asî gundê me, bi eşîreta xwe va, bi gundê xwe va girêdayî bû. ...[if] our village, with its tribe, with its village was connected.
Vê manê vê sewqiyata hana bilind kirin. This meaning they raised this ceiling like this.
Umrê vê odê çiqas sal e? How many years is the age of this room?
Ez tesbîtê bêm li der va, 1318, bes oda... hîn xanî kêm heye ji berî dîş waqeye. I say the proof is out there, 1318, but the room... still there are few houses from before also standing.
Ev nivîsandin e? Is this writing?
1318 nivîsî ye li ser di pşaqê de, bes hîn kêm nare. 1318 is written on the lintel, but still doesn't go less [is older?].
Mînhaye niha tên li vê odê rûdinin? Guests now come sit in this room?
Em tên na wek selef, na wek kalkê me ne. We come not like predecessors, not like our grandfathers.
Em tên rûdinin, bes... dora gunda... cîran niha pirtir geştr bû. We come sit, but... around the villages... neighbors now more scattered.
Mesela baz dihatin rûniştin şev, dû qûran rûdiniştin. For example some came sat at night, two times sat.
Qûrik çi qiş nedikir. The boy didn't make any sound.
Ewa jî me dît bi çavê xwe dît, em gihiştinê. That too we saw with our own eyes, we reached it.
Televîzyon tinebû. Dihatin şûr dikirin... No television. Came did fencing stories...
... mesqere dikirin, daew û digûş hebûn. ...joked, there were lawsuits and fights.
Mesela însanek, îro mesela em bibêjin vê birayê me hiro nehat. For example a person, today for example we say this brother of ours today didn't come.
Di şev nehat. Bi sibe lê pirs dikin, xêr te nehat? At night didn't come. In morning ask him, is it good [why] you didn't come?
Yani hîcîvatiyê da ji niha baştir bû. Meaning in social relations it was better than now.

Silav ji bo nava bînerên me yê hêja. Dexeleke nû û mijareke nû li cîheke nû di rêya bernameya Platforma Azad em bi we re ne. Îro em li taxa Şêx Meqsûd a girêdayî bajarê Helebê ne. Greetings to our dear viewers. With a new episode and a new topic in a new place, we are with you through the Free Platform program. Today we are in the Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhood of the city of Aleppo.
Birejin hatin ku ew jinê bikin rê û rêbazê xwe, mudaxelekî ji bo Şêx Meqsûd bikin. Xwandin bi vê rê... hinek derbal... Şêx Meqsûd kin, jiyana Şêx Meqsûd. They came pouring in so that those women would make their way and method, to make an intervention for Sheikh Maqsoud. They wanted in this way... some blows... to Sheikh Maqsoud, the life of Sheikh Maqsoud.
Ev kesê ku di Şêx Meqsûd da, ê ku bi hevre jiyan dikin, rastiya vê derkeve, çawa bi hevre hevdû biparêzin. Çawa vê taxê biparêzin. Jiyana hevbeş were parastin. The people who are in Sheikh Maqsoud, those who live together, the truth of this should come out, how they protect each other together. How they protect this neighborhood. That the shared life be protected.
Her kes bi rengê xwe, bi dengê xwe, bi navê xwe, bi sîstema xwe, bi her tiştê xwe jiyan dike. Everyone lives with their own color, their own voice, their own name, their own system, with everything of their own.
Mijara me yê îro di xeleka me, erkê xweparastinê ya li Kantona Efrînê hatiye îlankirin, girîngiya erkê xweparastinê çiye? Our topic today in our episode, the self-defense duty declared in Afrin Canton, what is the importance of the self-defense duty?
Şerê yekemîn ku di hindirê Efrînê da li hemberî van komên çete, di tepê Qestelê da her wiha derbasî Cindirêsê û deverên dîter bû, bi îmkanên me yê normal, ev komên çete hatin şikandin û ji deverên Efrînê derketin. The first war inside Afrin against these gang groups, at Qestel hill as well as crossing into Jindires and other areas, with our normal capabilities, these gang groups were defeated and left the areas of Afrin.
Eger leşkeriya rejîmê jî kirî, çawa te du sal û nîv ji bo rejîmê kirin, tu şeş meh jî ji bo axa xwe jî bike. If you did military service for the regime, just as you did two and a half years for the regime, do six months for your own land too.
Yên ku birayên me Ereb li hindirê kantonê hene nifûsa wan li ser Efrînê ye, ew ê tevlî erkê bibin. Those Arab brothers of ours who are inside the canton and their census registration is in Afrin, they will join the duty.
Wan jî bi singekî pir fereh qebûl kiriye. Xeta yekemîn bila her kes zanibe bila li ya pêşiya wan bin (unclear). Xeta me yê yekemîn ê kantona girê dide, ew ê biparêze. Ew ê biparêze. They also accepted it with a very wide chest (willingly). Let everyone know that the first line... Our first line that connects the canton, they will protect it. They will protect it.
Xeber gîne bi xêrê hatî... ji qabiliya wan ê... dil azad kir... Eliyê şa... Bring the news, welcome... from their capability... freed the heart... Ali the happy... (Lyrics are poetic and partially indistinct).
Rojbaş zarokên delal. Wan nam (?) îro dîsa bi hevre bernameyek nû ji bernameya Gulîkên Kurdistan bi hevre dest pê bikin. Good day dear children. ... today again together we will start a new program from the Kurdistan Buds program together.
Rojbaş zarokên şêrîn. Good day sweet children.
Rojbaş mamoste. Good day teacher.
Ka de yekî ji we çîrokekê bêje. Dayika mera çi digot? Come on, one of you tell a story. What did our mother say to us?
Dema em nexweş dibin, tê cem me rûdine. Û gava em ji dibistanê tên, pirzikê te çêkir, te çinekir. When we are sick, she comes and sits by us. And when we come from school, (she asks) did you make food, did you not make it.
Tîpa 'U' li ku derê ye? Where is the letter 'U'?
Hat lê rabê sibeye... şêrînê rabê sibeye... Come on, get up, it's morning... sweet one get up, it's morning...
Newroz Mihemed e... ew keça ku mîna agirê Newrozê geş û germ di sala 1994an de li hilêliya welatparêz û dilsor çavê xwe li jiyanê vedike. Newroz Mihemed... that girl who, like the fire of Newroz, bright and hot, in the year 1994 in a patriotic and loyal family opened her eyes to life.
Piştî tevlî karî bû, bûlo serbest bû, jêhatî bû. Di pirsyarekî... yanî çawa xwedî berpirsiyariya her tiştî didît. After she got involved in the work, she became fully free, she was capable. In a question... meaning how she saw herself responsible for everything.
Berpirsyarekî... yanî çawa xwedî berpirsiyara her tiştî dît. Yanî di tabûrê de çi çêbûba her heval Newroz pê dizanîbû yanî... Lê dema, yanî heval wina kiribûn tîm qumandanî... yanî di hindirê akademiyê de. A responsibility... meaning how she saw herself responsible for everything. Meaning whatever happened in the battalion, comrade Newroz knew about it... But when, meaning the comrades had made her a team commander... meaning inside the academy.
Yê danîbûn ser gora... Jiber vê na jî, yanî di heval de bi rastî jî, merov ev nêzîkatiya di heval de dît, şexsiyetekî wisa bû ku însan tenê... wisa ji bo xwe mînak jî digre. They had appointed her over the grave (unit?)... Because of this, meaning in the comrade truly, one saw this approach in the comrade, she was such a personality that one just... takes her as an example for oneself.
Xeleka me ya îro di derbarê rola komîsyonên aşîtî li hev anîn û çareseriyê û komîna... avakirina dada civakî de. Our episode today is about the role of the peace and reconciliation commissions and the commune... in establishing social justice.
Komîn ... heta sê sed sîh sê (333) komîn cihê xwe têdigre. Ew kesê di lijneya silhê yan jî wek karmendê silhê, çine û kîne? The commune ... up to 333 communes take their place. Those persons in the peace committee or as peace staff, what are they and who are they?
Jiber heta ku buyer çêbê, divê di nava civakê de çibî... çi kesbî pênasa wî çibî. Because until an event happens, in the society it must be... what kind of person, what is their definition.
Em bêjin di merhela avakirinê de ye. Hîn em karê me, ev tiştên han, ev hazirî em dikin ji bo xazindariya van komînan re. Em komînan hîn bi rûhê komînê, rûhê wek divê komînalî ne, em nadin nîşandanê xelkê xwe. Let's say it is in the construction phase. Still our work, these things, this preparation we do is for the preparation of these communes. We are still not showing the communes with the spirit of the commune, the spirit as it should be communal, to our people.
Koçberî rewşekî xozaye di jiyana mirovan de. Lê dema rûdan ya xwe, lûtkeya wê, astên rêwabûnê derbas bike, hingî civak dikeve nava metirsiyê. Migration is a natural situation in human life. But when its occurrence, its peak, surpasses the levels of legitimacy, then society falls into danger.
Lê koçberî bi xwe rengê wê hene, şaxê wê hene, û sedemê wê hene. Ji ber têgeha xwe ya am de hema her bihatina cihê, ji cihekî te herî cihekî din. But migration itself has its colors, its branches, and its reasons. Because in its general concept, it is just coming to a place, from one place you go to another place.
