Tiştekî pir rind e. Çiye yek? A very good thing. What is one?

Çi di hebe bi hev re ne? Whatever happens, they are together?
Em xwo bi xwo, yanî em ji hevdu... We ourselves, meaning we from each other...
...em ji hevdu hez dikin. Cîranê hevdu, xizmatê hevdu ne. ...we love each other. Neighbors of each other, relatives of each other.
Şîn be, dewatek be, çi îşek be... Be it a funeral, be it a wedding, be it whatever work...
La semahella misîbetek were însanekî, em bi hevre alîkarî dikin, yardım dikin yanî. God forbid a calamity comes to a person, we help each other together, we assist meaning.
Û hewa jî fedl, ji kê daye? Fedl ji pîrekê me û ji şebabê me. And that is also grace, from whom is it? Grace from our elders and our youth.
Fedl, ew pîrek û şebabê noka dighînin. Grace, those elders and youth of now are achieving.
Fedl awan a ye. The grace is theirs.
Û, a nuqta didiyê, em zanim bibêjim gundî me yanî pir rind e. And, the second point, I know to say my village is very good.
Nisba te'lîm pir... pir nisbet pir rind e. The ratio of education is very... very ratio is very good.
Teqriben nîzîka bîst însan came'î hene. Approximately close to twenty university people exist.
Îftîxar dikim bi vê tiştî. I am proud of this thing.
Gundê me sehet biçûk e, bes bi fe'lê xwe mezin e. Our village is true small, but by its deeds it is big.
Yanî dewra xwe, yanî heye. Hewa jî fedl dîsa me go ji pîrekê me û şebabê me daye yanî. Meaning its role, meaning it exists. That is also grace again we said from our elders and our youth it comes meaning.
Û gundê me sê şehîd, yanî me qe... çûne. And our village three martyrs, meaning we... they went.
Sê şehîd gundê me, sê şehîd qedemandine. Three martyrs our village, three martyrs presented.
Apo Resûl, berê rispîyê we kî bûn? Uncle Resul, before who were your elders?
Yanî her gundekî da rispîyê wan hebûn, berê pirsgirêkê wan çawa bûn, wan çareser dikir? Meaning in every village they had their elders, before how were their problems, did they solve them?
Wê gunda birêva dibirin, niha jî komîn ava bûne. They used to run the village, now communes are established.
Berê rispî hebûn mezin ê gund hebûn. Ku mişkîlek dibû, çi dibû, demek wana dihatin rûniştin, hevdu yanî hal dikirin. Before there were elders, the great of the village existed. If a problem happened, whatever happened, a time they would come sit, together meaning they would solve it.
Noka jî, meselen komîn çêbûne li gunda. Çi mişkîla gund bî, derin meselen bi rêka komînê, yanî vê mişkîlê, yanî hal dikin. Now too, for example communes are made in villages. Whatever problem of the village exists, they go for example by way of the commune, meaning this problem, meaning they solve it.
Û ev tişta jî tiştekî rind e, hêja ye. And this thing is also a good thing, valuable.
Û îcabî ye bi îtîbar xêr e, yanî gund bi xwo mişkîlê xwo hal dike. Ne xerîbê xwo, jê ra hal dike, bi xwo bi xwo, yanî gundî mişkîlê xwo hal dike. And it is positive by regard good, meaning the village itself solves its problem. Not a stranger to it, solves for it, by itself by itself, meaning the villager solves his problem.
Û ev tişta jî tiştekî rind e. And this thing is also a good thing.
Û bi nisbet avê, ava gundî me, me go ew kaniya hişk bûye, na ew kaniya me av jê dibir. And regarding the water, the water of our village, we said that spring has dried, no that spring of ours we took water from it.
Û ew bîrek, yek Romanî heye, berî gemrûkê... And that well, one Roman [well] exists, before the customs [office]...
Hewa jî teqriben, giyê tiş, gemar bûye, yanî qutbî ye, av hişk bûye. That too approximately, all dirty, became dirty, meaning cut off, water dried.
Bîrek hikumet nîzamê ji me re kola bû, girtin. A well the government regime had dug for us, they closed it.
Teqriben salê du hezar deh de. Approximately in the year two thousand ten.

Av li ser we qut kirin bû? Water was cut off on you?
Av, bîr girtin. Go av, xerabiye, telewus bûye. Water, they closed the well. Said water is bad, it has become polluted.
Ev avana nabe hûn vexwin. These waters, it is not possible for you to drink.
Av li ser me girtin. They closed the water on us.
Paşê bîrek ji me re li Gemrûkê çê... girtin. Then a well for us at Gemruk they ma... closed.
Go av xera bûye. Said water has spoiled.
Gundê me noke... gundê me, Sêmalik, Şêxûtka û Emara... Our village now... our village, Semalik, Shekhutka, and Amara...
Ava vê bîrê dida vê pêşgund ra. The water of this well was supplying this front area.
Paşê rabû, vê herbê jî çêbû. Then it happened, this war also happened.
Me rabû, em kî avê şkewîn in. We stood up, we who are thirsty for water.

Avê me jî temam bû û Xwedê... Our water issue was resolved and God...
Yanî ji gund razî be û ji... em ji avê yanî rihet in. Meaning may He be pleased with the village and... we are comfortable regarding water.
Gundî Şûrbê çiqas xane tê de heye? How many houses are there in Shurbe village?
Teqrîben hîzgeh hevtê heştê malî heye. Approximately there are seventy or eighty households.
Mala te ava be. Saet xweş. Thank you. Bless you.
Ahlan we sehlan. Welcome.
Gundê Şûrbê li herêma quntara Çiyayê Hawarê, li hêla rojava ye. Shurbe village is in the foothills of Mount Hawar, on the west side.
Ew girêdayî navçeya Mabatayê, bîst kîlometre li bakurê Efrînê û pênc kîlometre dûrî rojavayê bajaroka Mabatayê dikeve. It is connected to the Mabeta district, falling 20 km north of Afrin and 5 km west of the town of Mabeta.
Bilindahiya gund pênc sed û bîst metroyî ji rûyê deryayê ye. The height of the village is 520 meters above sea level.
Gund li cihekî bi navê Marî... Navê gund ê berê Marîşa bû. The village is in a place named Mari... The former name of the village was Marisha.
Lê navê niha ji navê malbata Şûrbê hatiye. But the current name comes from the name of the Shurbe family.
Tê gotin ku di sala derdora hezar û şeş sed û pêncî û sêyan de xela li herêmê çêbû. It is said that around the year 1653 a famine occurred in the region.
Û sê salan berdewam kir. Hingî şêniyên gund ji ber go xwedî gelek pez bûn... And it continued for three years. Back then, the residents of the village, because they owned many sheep...
Xwe spartin xwarina şîr ango şorbe, ji bo berdewamkirina jiyana xwe. Relied on eating milk, meaning soup, to sustain their lives.
Û herwiha kesên xizan jî ji bo xwarinê serî li gund didan. And also poor people visited the village for food.
Ji ber vê çendê navê Şûrbê li malbata yekemîn, ku li gund niştecî bûn hatiye kirin. Because of this, the name Shurbe was given to the first family that resided in the village.
Û ew bi xwe ji eşîra Amkan e. And they themselves are from the Amkan tribe.
Neh malbat li gund hene. Derdora not xanî û nêzî hezar kes li gund dijîn. There are nine families in the village. Around ninety houses and near a thousand people live in the village.
Belê, neha jî em derbasî cem cebarcîkî bûn. Yes, now we have moved to a bonesetter.
Di gunda da berê doxtor tinebûn. Bajar dûr bûn. In the villages, in the past, there were no doctors. Cities were far.
Lê ji neçariyê, ama bi xwe dibûn doxtor. But out of necessity, people became doctors themselves.
Ev herya a jî berdewam e. This skill continues as well.
Di gelek gunda da em derbas dibin, em cebarcîya dibînin, em dibînin çawa derman dikin. In many villages we pass through, we see bonesetters, we see how they treat.
Doxtorê kevin. The old doctors.
Neha jî em derbasî cem cebarcîkî bûn, emê bi hevra nask bikin û karê wî jî nas bikin. Now we have moved to a bonesetter, we will get to know him together and know his work.
Merheba ji te ra. Hello to you.
Ehlen we sehlan ser serî min. Tu bi xêr hatî, ma geş dikim. Welcome upon my head. You are welcome, I am happy.
Sax bî. Apê, ji me ra xwe nas bike. Bless you. Uncle, introduce yourself to us.
Mîti selamî, ehlen we sehlan. Navê min Hemîdê Mehmedê Îsa ye. A hundred hellos, welcome. My name is Hamid Mehmed Isa.
Dibên Hemîd Hûro. Tê fêm kir? Kunya me Hûro ye. They call me Hamid Huro. Do you understand? Our nickname is Huro.
Û tu wî nizanî, bê cebarcîyê gundê Şûrbê. And if you don't know him, ask for the bonesetter of Shurbe village.
Va, orta va, vê mantiqê gişt, herê pirs ke, ê bê gundê Şûrbê. Here, in the middle of here, this whole area, go ask, they will say Shurbe village.
Hemîd cebarcîyê gundê Şûrbê ye. Hamid is the bonesetter of Shurbe village.
Ser çava. Apê Hemîd, ma tu çend sal e tu vê karî dikî? Tu çend sal e tu cebarcî ye? With pleasure. Uncle Hamid, how many years have you been doing this work? How many years have you been a bonesetter?
Yanî 40 sal heye, ez qermîşî bûm, hîn ez ciwan bûm. Meaning it has been 40 years, I started, I was still young.
Tu neha çend salî ye? How old are you now?
Noka şêst û pênc, nîzikî heftê bim me. Now sixty-five, I am close to seventy.
Yanî tu 20-25 salî bû te dest pê kir? Meaning you were 20-25 years old when you started?
He, 25 salî bûm, ez qermîşî bûm... Yes, I was 25 years old, I started...
Heta min resmî, yanî 30 sal heye ez resmî dicebirînim. Until I officially, meaning it has been 30 years I set bones officially.
Resmî. Berî wê, yekî yekî yanî kes tune bû, me sêwî derman dicebirand. Officially. Before that, one by one, meaning there was no one, we treated orphans.
Nokana kes naçe nexweşxaneyê. Kêm diçe nexweşxaneyê, qusûra xwe sema ke. Now no one goes to the hospital. Few go to the hospital, pardon my expression.
Diçe nexweşxaneyê jî heftakî lê xew dikin, ê ka lê we re cem min. Even if they go to the hospital, they put it to sleep (cast) for a week, then come back to me.
Eke jê na, bişelînim, ne cebirandin e, bes kirine cibsînê. If not, I peel it off, it is not set, just put in a cast.
Ya ji cih çûye, ya çi peqî ye, ya şkestî ye... Either it went out of place, or cracked, or broken...
Dikin cibsînê heta serê dironqa, kirin cibsînê tew de bimire. They put it in a cast up to the elbows, put in a cast so it dies inside.
Ez jî sûkmiş dikim, çawa dikim? Dibêm Mihemed yê şkera ye. I take it off, how do I do it? I say Mohammed is the expert.
Ew bixwe cebarê lê digerîne, du ro, heftakî, ka çêbû be. He himself applies the setting, two days, a week, to see if it healed.
Apê Hemîd, di malbata te da kes cebarcî hebû? Uncle Hamid, was there anyone in your family who was a bonesetter?
Na. Min meraq kir. No. I was curious.
Min meraq kir, ez roş şemiyê jî, woha reîsê etîba, navê xwe çi bû ya rebî... I was curious, on a Saturday, the head of doctors, what was his name oh Lord...
Wî ez birim, li wir de ew ser dikirim. He took me, there he tested me.
Go se'eta te xweş be, min ew îcaze hewal da, elamet da, hewan one dikim. He said health to your hands, I gave that friend a permit, gave a sign, I do it like that.
Go a te emelî ye, a me ilmî ye. A te ji a me rasttir e. He said yours is practical, ours is scientific. Yours is more correct than ours.
Yek wele cem min, car min neşandine suret. One came to me, times I didn't send for an X-ray.
Ez lê binêrim, ez zanim çibûye. Ji gedûkê de tê der. I look at it, I know what happened. It comes out of the joint.
Ez dê bêjim gedûkê te derketiye. I will say your joint has dislocated.
Bê suret? Without an X-ray?
Bê suret. Ez destê xwe lê didim, ez zanim. Without an X-ray. I put my hand on it, I know.
Bi rastî jî dema, no dibînin destê, destê yek dişkê yan lingê wî dişkê... Truly when, now we see the hand, someone's hand breaks or his leg breaks...
Diben nexweşxanê dibêjin suret. No gelek cebarcî min dîtine, ew mi bîstine... They take to the hospital, they say X-ray. Now I have seen many bonesetters, I have heard...
Dibêjin dema diçim cem, ema bê suret destê wî tînin cî. Ev sirrê jime ra bêje. They say when they go to them, but without X-ray they put his hand in place. Tell us this secret.
Vê sirrê... min geştek hifz kiriye ji gedûkê de tê... This secret... I have memorized a trip, it comes from the joint...
Ez dê le te gûskê te çi kiriye. I will check what your knuckle has done.
Lo dibê apê Hemîd te bi destê xwe wekirî wele gûskê min e. Look he says Uncle Hamid you did it with your hand, by God it is my knuckle.
Lo te şehî lingê xwe xêr wekirî. Look you ... your leg ... like that.
Î gûskê, xûba dide, le meşê... The knuckle, gives trouble, in walking...
Î çeqilê leng, duxwrî di keletê. Têşî me fêm kir? The crooked limb, straightens in the socket. It hurts, do you understand?
Î pişta xwe şikyayî, xanê de hezînê de ketî, lo ta pişta xwe şikandî... The one with a broken back, fell in the room in the courtyard, look you broke your back...
Ebeden. Me lê nerî, ez zanim çûbûye. Never. We looked at it, I know what happened.
Pişta gende êşiyaye. Tiştek rakirî ya ketî ya derb xwariye. The young man's back hurt. Lifted something or fell or took a blow.
Ez ê ji mufirkê gapirê çêkeee... sekim. I will check from the joint of the vertebrae... look.
Kaku ava mufirkê, wa layê apê Hemîd hewa. Eh, qulolê cem min. Brother, this vertebra, here beside Uncle Hamid it is. Eh, he is my servant/patient.
Ez ê pê bigrim xirtînim cî û ji wê de mokêtê, ji vir de meşê de re. I will hold it, snap it into place and from there the carpet, from here go walk.
Û tiko ne pirs ke tî nav alemê digere... And don't just ask anyone wandering among the people...
Erebe Hemşelekê yek. Be'niyê de didu. Arab Hamshalek one. In Ba'niye two.
Gundê pîra Îbra sê. Hesendêra, Qeregol, Xelîlaka, va gunda giştikan telî gerîye. Pira Ibra village three. Hasandera, Qaragol, Khalilaka, in all these villages I have walked.
Tê bê ma cebarcî gundê Şûrbê çûn û hatî ye. You will say the bonesetter of Shurbe village has come and gone.
Gi destê xwe sê neqlê hono nekirine ser zana bigî av xwa ye. If they haven't done this with their hand three times with knowledge, it is vanity.
Ez ji xwedê de, min meraq kir wa hono elimîm. I, from God, I was curious and learned like that.
Apê Hemîd, bi giştî di gundê Şûrbê da çend cebarcî hene? Uncle Hamid, in general, how many bonesetters are there in Shurbe village?
Ez yek, evvel. Me'milê didu, Mistû. Me one, first. Ma'mil's two, Mistu.
Û li Cindêrê sê, Nebî. Û li Efrîn Kemal. And in Jinderes three, Nebi. And in Afrin, Kemal.
Li Umeran, Mehmedê... Welî ke. In Umera, Mehmed... Walike.
Ji van derbas bûn ez nizanim. Beyond these I don't know.
Yani ev giştî bûne cebarcî. Û ewa te naskirin, ev? So all these became bonesetters. And did you know them, these?
Tê naskirin pirr in. Her kesek bi zanîna xwe dişixule. Known ones are many. Everyone works with their own knowledge.
Apê Hemîd, ev gelek tişt hatine pêşiya min. Uncle Hamid, many things have come before me.
Tu dikarî jî me ra şîrove bikî, li ser karê xwe. Can you explain to us about your work.
Hinekî, bêje noka sabûn e, ev xwi ye, ev pembo ye... A little, say now soap, this is salt, this is cotton...
Vê kîjan demê tu bi kar tînî, tu çawa bi kar tînî. At what time do you use this, how do you use it.
Evvelen ku hat, ez ê berê vê herim... First when he comes, I will go to this first...
Bî keramê, bî ihtiramê, bî rûkenî, rûnîşînim ber. With dignity, with respect, with a smile, I sit in front.
Sor e, ba mirsî be. Germ e, bel sersî ye. If it is red, let it be cool. If it is hot, let it be in the cold.
Ez ê û kulfeta xwe, vê avê germ bike. I and my family, will heat this water.
Ê loqmek, meşmek, ruhnî, tenê ne otî, yek bimre bigire, ê bigire. A morsel... oil... not just ironing, one holds it, yes hold it.
Ez ê paşê bi avê germ bişom. Bi avê germ û sabûnê. I will then wash it with warm water. With warm water and soap.
Nerm dibe wanekî. It becomes soft like that.
Wextê ku min paqij şû şû da... When I washed it clean...
Ez ê bikşînim hûnim, cî kim, duxwrê bikim. I will pull, weave, put in place, make it straight.
Û cebarê lê bigerînim. Pembî, pembî li bin bigerînim. And apply the setting. Cotton, apply cotton underneath.
Paşê ser pembû, cebarê lê bigerînim. Then over the cotton, apply the setting.
Me cebar lê gerandin şûnda... Karton heye, va kartonê qaling. After we applied the setting... There is cardboard, this thick cardboard.
Kartonê qut kim tuynî texta... Dor çêkim, efser dim, benikî mekim bişidînim. Cut cardboard like splints... Make around, tie it, tighten with a strong string.
Û destî gêndê têxînim stikim. And put the young man's hand in a sling.
Destî gund nakeve stû... Sê ro. Heta ew cebara hişk dibe. The hand doesn't fall from the neck... Three days. Until that setting dries.
Sê ro şûnda xozêm lepikê, pêkewra bave. Ez kefîl im. Three days later take off the bandage, throw it away. I am the guarantor.
Yanî hema sê roja çêdibe? So it heals in just three days?
Sê ro çê nabe. Bes sê ro şûnda, hew cebara hişk dibe, ortê dest naleqe. It doesn't heal in three days. But after three days, that setting dries, the middle of the hand doesn't move.
Diwerime, iştama, diwerime teşe dike. Sê ro, sê ro şûnda dikarî vekî. It swells... swells and hurts. Three days, after three days you can open it.
Ortê ew cebara naleqe. In the middle that setting doesn't move.
Kî ji, ji haqê min cebar, cebirandin... Whoever, from my right of setting bones...
Gikî xwar cebirî, ya gotî êşî, ya filan bira... Bira ewî zerhetî nakim, ez vêra qirar dikim wanekî. If anyone set it crooked, or said it hurts, or whatever brother... I don't give him trouble, I decide like that.
Na berê destkê şikestî be, tu zanibe berê şikestî ye yan na şikestî ye? No, before, if a hand was broken, would you know if it was broken or not?
Na vê destî min seke voy. Look at this hand of mine.
Destî te neşkyayî. Destî te cî derketibe belkim, çimkî gûzkê te berjor hatî. Your hand isn't broken. Your hand might have dislocated, because your knuckle has come up.
Bes moxzade çûye se ez nizanim man. But the joint went... I don't know man.
E heye moxzade ger gûzkê te, elbet bu xêr hatî vederê. Yes there is a joint on your knuckle, surely welcome here.
Yanî ji cî çûye heva? So this one went out of place?
Gişt, ji cî çûye, çûbûye ser gûzkê te ne wek ê min, seke ê min li kuye, ê te li kuye. All, went out of place, went on your knuckle not like mine, look where mine is, where yours is.
Belkî te wilo anî... Gago destî çepê ye. Maybe you brought it like that... Brother, it's the left hand.
Û ne xwar e. And it's not crooked.
Gik xwar be, ez dêm wele berê, ne dikin cî. If it's crooked, I say well before, they don't put it in place.
Gikî cebirandî be, şaşî tê neşkim, na cebirînim. If it was set, and there's a mistake in it, I don't break it, I don't set it.
Na şikî, pêta naşikî û neş ji cî çûye. Me ne dî. It didn't break, ... and didn't go out of place. We didn't see.
Tu debe el noke. You ... now.
Saetê te xweş. Mala te ava be. Health to your hands. Thank you.

Ema navn xwarina gotin, dibêje ev xwarina nek cematên... done ke. But mentioning the food names, she says this food is not the group's... it's wheat (done).
Ev çû kema ekel tanî? What was this other food again?
Le... boroniye we boroniye. Le... boroniye and boroniye.
Dibêje ev du xwarina li ba me tunne ne, ew danik e... She says these two foods we don't have, that wheat dish...
Jiber ku ev jî xwarinek Efrîn... taybet a Efrînî ye. Because this is an Afrin food... specifically Afrini.
Ê dibêje ew li Libnanê tunne. So she says that doesn't exist in Lebanon.
Ya'nî pir ferq cudabûn tunne, dibêje behsê dike. Meaning there isn't much difference or distinction, she says, discussing it.
Di navbera Efrînê û Libnanê va. Between Afrin and Lebanon.
Dayê em dîsa vegerin cem te. Mother, let us return to you again.
Niha xwarina we li ser êgir e. Now your food is on the fire.
Niha kîjan xwarina xweş e? Li ser êgir xweş e yan li ser gazê xweş e? Now which food is good? Is it good on the fire or good on the gas?
Na, ser êgir xweş e. No, it is good on the fire.
Tehma wê... ciyawazî? Its taste... difference?
Ê. Tehma wê, dikanê... kelket, agirê xwe bi kişîne, hêwaş bikeli... xweş derdikeve. Yes. Its taste, the place... boiling, drawing its own fire, boiling slowly... it comes out good.
Xwarinê ser êgir xweş e. Food on the fire is good.
Ê da noko jî şta ser gaza xuretnok in, ser gaza. But now they are just rattling on the gas stoves, on the gas.
Mala we ava be. Xwedê kêmkasiyê we nede. May your home be prosperous. May God not give you lack.
O te jî ava be û saeta we xweş û 'eqûbet ser keftina mezin be. And yours be prosperous too, and have a good time, and may the outcome be a great victory.
Û em pir xweş kefin ji hatina we ra. And we are very happy for your arrival.
Spas dikim. Destê we sax bin. I thank you. Bless your hands.

Gundê Şûrbê du caran rastî xirakirinê hatiye ji aliyê Osmanî û Fransiyan ve. The village of Shurbe has faced destruction twice by the Ottomans and the French.
Ji ber ku xelkê gund li dijî hemleya Îbrahîm Elî Paşa sekinîn. Because the people of the village stood against the campaign of Ibrahim Ali Pasha.
Ko di sala 1832yan de dema ku ber bi Edene ve diçûn. Who in the year 1832, when they were going towards Adana.
Êrîşî xelkê gund kirin û di encamê de gund hate xirakirin û serê şeş kesan hate jêkirin. They attacked the village people, and as a result, the village was destroyed and six people were beheaded.
Li şûna wan du zarok man, Emîn û Aslan. Two children survived in their place, Emin and Aslan.
Vegeriyan gund û cih û bav û kalê xwe û ji nû ve gund şên kirin. They returned to the village and the place of their forefathers and revitalized the village anew.
Êrîşa din li ser gund di sala 1921an de bû. The other attack on the village was in the year 1921.
Ji aliyê Fransiyan ve bû dema ku bi top û balafiran êrîş kirin ji ber pişgiriya xelkê gund ji şoreşgerên li dijî Fransiyan re. It was by the French when they attacked with cannons and airplanes because of the village people's support for the revolutionaries against the French.
Ciwanek, Aslan Axa Şûrbê bi nasnav Teyrê Çiyayê Hewarê. A young man, Aslan Agha Shurbe, nicknamed the Eagle of Mount Hawar.

Gelek şer û ceng li Geliyê Tîra li dijî leşkerê Fransiyan hate kirin ta sala 1936an. Many battles and fights were waged in the Tira Valley against the French army until the year 1936.
Efrîna min delal e, idî bes he me nale. My Afrin is beautiful, do not groan anymore.
Keç û xortê te hatin, te bistînin ji dijmin. Your daughters and sons have come to retrieve you from the enemy.
Gelê Kurdî qehreman, natirsin ji Erdogan. The heroic Kurdish people are not afraid of Erdogan.
Efrîna min cewher e, ketiyê nav çemberê. My Afrin is a jewel, it has fallen into an encirclement.
Erdogan tu çi dikî? Xaliyê li Xwedê dikî? Erdogan, what are you doing? Are you throwing dust at God?
Gelê me yê Kurd yek e, tu nikarî ji hev bikî. Our Kurdish people are one, you cannot separate them.
Em sînoran nas nakin, emê ji bin da rakin. We do not recognize borders, we will remove them from the roots.
Çemberê biqetînin, gelê Kurd bi hevgînin. Break the encirclement, unite the Kurdish people.

Kengî behsê bike, di kîjan salê da bû? Kê xera kir ev gunda? When can you talk about it, in which year was it? Who destroyed this village?
Heval, hewa di sala 1835an da. Di şoreşa Îbrahîm Paşa da, kurê Mihemed Elî Paşa. Friend, this was in the year 1835. During the revolution of Ibrahim Pasha, the son of Muhammad Ali Pasha.
Li vir şoreşek peyda kirin dijî Osmaniya. They started a revolution here against the Ottomans.
Di wê şoreşê da, teb'an, ev şoreşa gişt mantiqa Efrînê jî, giştî vê gundî jî, hev gunda jî, bi eşîreta xwe, bi eşîreta Amka... In that revolution, naturally, this revolution [involved] the entire Afrin region, this whole village, the neighboring villages, with their tribe, with the Amka tribe...
...hemî milet dijî Osmaniya rabûn. Û divê eskerê Osmanî jî li vir bû. ...all the people rose up against the Ottomans. And the Ottoman army must have been here too.
...li Sûriya xwa meqerê xwa li vir bû û heta Meydankê. ...in their Syria, their headquarters was here and up to Meydanke.
Li ber vê girî bû. Tabî êrîşî gund... va nêzîk e... êrîşî gund kirin. It was in front of this hill. Naturally, they attacked the village... this is close... they attacked the village.
Ê kani revya, revî. Ê nekanî jî girtin. Those who could flee, fled. Those who couldn't were caught.
Wekî heval didin, dibên şeş mer ji me, ji mala Şûrbê li ser vê tilî serî jêkirin. As friends say, six men from us, from the Shurbe family, were beheaded on this hill.
Serî wan hat qutkirin. Ji wan şeş merana du zarok filitîn, bes du zarok biçûk. Their heads were cut off. From those six men, two children escaped, only two small children.
Û ew hatî ispatkirin, jinek ji me, tek jinek zariya xwe hilanî û berve jê şarî reviya... dûr ket ji xerabûnê. And it has been proven, a woman from us, a single woman took her children and fled towards the town... got away from the destruction.
Çûye Biza'ê. Li mantiqa Babê, li gundê Biza'ê, mala Hesen Kurdî, nevî ji mala Şûrbê ne. She went to Biza'a. In the Al-Bab area, in the village of Biza'a, the Hasan Kurdi family are grandchildren of the Shurbe family.
Navê wê jinikê çibû? What was that woman's name?
Ez jinikê nizanim heval. Zû da, pir kevn e. Hewa berî vê bi 280 salî ye... du sed û heştê salî... du salî vê çîrokê. I don't know the woman, friend. It was long ago, very old. This was 280 years before this... two hundred and eighty years... two years of this story.
Wê demê de gund xerabû? Was the village destroyed at that time?
Gund xerabû, gund tiştek nema heval. Tiştek nema li vê gundî. The village was destroyed, nothing remained of the village, friend. Nothing remained in this village.
Ji wan du zarokana, dibê navê yekî Emîn bû, yek Aslan bû. Of those two children, they say one was named Emin, one was Aslan.
Emîn û Aslan li nav eşîreta... eşîreta hev na xwedî kirin, mezin kirin... Pê de, bê bav man yanî, ha tiştek nema. Emin and Aslan were raised and grew up among the tribe... the tribe adopted them... Afterwards, they were left fatherless, nothing remained.
Piştî 20 salan, 30 salî va vedigerin mala bavê xwe, va vedigerin yanî gundê Şûrbê. After 20 years, 30 years, they returned to their father's home, returning to Shurbe village.
Tekra va gundî şên dikin, malê digirin, dibê birakek Emîn li gund rûdini û Aslan jî li Amar'a. They revitalized this village again, acquired property, they say the brother Emin settled in the village and Aslan in Amara.
Yanî em û Amar'a jî em pismamê hevin. Emîn li gundê Şûrbê bû û Aslan jî çûye Amar'a. Meaning we and [the people of] Amara are cousins. Emin was in Shurbe village and Aslan went to Amara.
De piştî heval hewa Emîn mezin dibê dizewice. Lawek jê dibe navê xwe Mamed e. So after this friend, Emin grows up and marries. He has a son named Mamed.
Mamed tek lawek jê dibe navê xwe Omer e. Hewa jî teqrîben derdora 100 salî dixe, va emra. Mamed has an only son named Omer. This also makes approximately around 100 years, this age.
Ji Omer, Omer dizewice pênc law jê çêdibin. Ji wan pêncan, Mehmed e, ê mezin Aslan e, Emîn e, Reşîd e, Xelîl e, Mehmed e. From Omer, Omer marries and five sons are born. Of those five, Mehmed... the eldest is Aslan, Emin, Rashid, Khalil, Mehmed.
Jê Aslan Axa ji wana ê mezin, şûna bavê xwe digre. From them Aslan Agha, the eldest of them, takes his father's place.
Û di sala 1921an da Fransa tê vê welatî. And in the year 1921 France comes to this country.
Di geliyê Tîra da, di me'rekeya geliyê Tîra da, me'rûf e ev me'reke heval di çoyî kurmêc da. In the Tira Valley, in the battle of Tira Valley, this battle is famous friend in the Kurd Mountain.
Aslan Axa teqrîben bi heştê peyayî ji eşîreta Amka, bi Ehmedê Rûtê, Seydê Dîkê, û Mihe Îbşoşê, vana giştika di geliyê Tîra da bi hikûmeta Fransa re şer kir. Aslan Agha with approximately eighty men from the Amka tribe, with Ahmed Rute, Seyd Dike, and Mihe Ibshosh, all of these fought against the French government in the Tira Valley.
Ba'dî Fransa mantiqa Efrîn tevlîhev da bir. Aslan Axa di sala 25an da hukmî îdam jê re hat. After France threw the Afrin area into chaos. Aslan Agha received a death sentence in the year '25.
Bazda çû û Ehmedê Rûtê va çûn... Qerexanê rûniştin. He fled and went, and with Ahmed Rute they went... settled in Qerexan.
Li di sala 35an heval, efû derket. Ji Fransa da, dibê sala 36an bû 35an bû, yanî herbê 'alemiyê nêzîk bû... In the year '35 friend, an amnesty was issued. From France, they say it was year '36 or '35, meaning the World War was near...
Fransa wê wextê siyasetek xwe... planek xwe gerand, xwest milet ji xwe va nêzîk bike. Me'ne ku dijî Fransa ranebin. France at that time ran a policy... a plan, wanted to bring the people close to itself. Meaning so they wouldn't rise against France.
Hatî cem Aslan Axa, Roger Lescot, hakimê eskerî li Qitma rûniştî bû. Came to Aslan Agha, Roger Lescot, the military governor stationed in Qitma.
Ji Aslan Axa dixwaze yanî wek rezaletî bike, û şerî me mekin. Û herin Ehmedê Rûtê bînin, ma mala Ehmedê Rûtê şewitandin, ezê li şûnê zêr bidimê. He asks Aslan Agha to sort of make amends, and don't fight us. And go bring Ahmed Rute, since we burned Ahmed Rute's house, I will give gold in its place.
Dibê di wê demê da, yanî dibê Aslan Axa gotî, yanî mumkin ev tişta, were... dawet kirin bi pera lê... Bes xwîna di peya rihatin rijandin. They say at that time, Aslan Agha said, meaning this thing is possible, come... invited with money but... But the blood of the men that was spilled.
Emê li çi şûnê pêdin? Dibê di wir da hakimê... Fransî wek dibê hedîs xwe kir, yanî zanî ku ne... ne ma selamete bi Aslan Axa re. How will we compensate for it? They say there the French governor spoke to himself, he knew that... there was no safety with Aslan Agha anymore.
Û heval noqteya diduya ez hewal dim... piştî hewa çû, dibê Fransa anî çîman... li îstasiyonê sekinandin. And friend, the second point I tell you... after this passed, they say France brought cement... stopped at the station.
Di wî zemanî da dibê çewalî genim bi şeş zêra bû, bi heft zêra bû. Genim dikirîn. In that time they say a sack of wheat was six gold pieces, seven gold pieces. They were buying wheat.
Heval didin, rûspiyê me, kalê me heval dan... Digo di senca me da, berê wekî sa'rinca, hewa xesisiya genim û dera bû. Friends say, our elders, our old men told friends... Said in our region, before like cisterns, there was this scarcity of wheat and such.
Digo nêzîkî du hezar çewal genim heye. Go me dikir ne dikir, em vî... va genimî bibin, a li şûna zêra didin milet. Said there are nearly two thousand sacks of wheat. Said whether we did or didn't, we take this... this wheat, giving gold to the people in place of it.
Go Aslan Axa digo ez Fransa dikim qurban tenak genim. Û Aslan Axa nexweş ket di sala 1959an da rehmet kir heval. Said Aslan Agha said I sacrifice France for a tin of wheat. And Aslan Agha fell ill in the year 1959 and passed away friend.
Rehma Xwedê lê be. Ez nika ji vî pismamî pirskim. Dema ew şerê Fransa dijî gundê we çibû, tu têbîra te? Ya têbîra te... God's mercy be on him. I will now ask this cousin. When that French war against your village happened, do you remember? Or your memory...
Têbîra min... yani Fransa lêdixist têbîra min. Destê min ê biçûk da, li pişta pite xwa bûm. My memory... meaning France was striking, I remember. In my small hand... I was on my father's back.
Am ji Hewşê reviyan... ji husê topa... dihatin me dibarîn. Top. Am revîn hatin hewşê mala Mêsûr. We fled from the courtyard... from the sound of cannons... they were raining on us. Cannon. We fled to the courtyard of Mesur's house.
Ez ser pişta wê bûm. Digot topa davên, li gund dixist. Li gund dixist, de tu topon... di wê hewşê da nedim. I was on his/her back. Said they are firing cannons, hitting the village. Hitting the village, but you cannons... I didn't see in that courtyard.
Bes muhsa topa dikir. Ez biçûk bûm. Ya sê salî bûm ya çar salî bûm. Hat wek xewna têbîra min. Yani ez nikanim tiştekî zêde bibêjim ji wê. But felt the cannons. I was small. Either 3 years old or 4 years old. It comes to my memory like a dream. Meaning I cannot say anything more than that.
Em tiştekî ji te pirskim. Ew dara li kuderê? Ji kuderê davêtin gund? Let me ask you something. Where is that tree? From where were they firing at the village?
Ev dara deştê... Deştê... Darik stûr, darik mezin e. Ji wê darê, darê topa ver digotin, davêtin gund. This tree of the plain... The Plain... A thick tree, a big tree. From that tree, they called it the cannon tree, they were firing at the village.
Milet revî. The people fled.
Ew dara hîna heye? Is that tree still there?
Dar heye bes niha ez... çend sal e neçûme helebê, ez nizanim ew dara maye nemaye ez nizanim. The tree exists but now I... haven't gone to Aleppo for several years, I don't know if that tree remains or not I don't know.
Ew dara qedîm e, darik mezin bû. Bes bû zeytûn ew mantiqa. Kirin zeytûn. That tree is ancient, it was a big tree. But that area became olive groves. They made it olives.
Mala we ava be, saeta we xweş. May your house be prosperous, your health good.
Rêjeya xwendinê li gundê me baş e. Nîzî 25 kesan bawernameya zanîngehê wergirtine, di beşên cûrbecûr de xwendine. The literacy rate in our village is good. Nearly 25 people have obtained university degrees, having studied in various departments.
Xelkê gund dabara jiyana xwe wekî hemû gundên derdora xwe, bi çandiniyê dikin. Ji zeviyên zeytûn, rez, dexl û baxçeyên sebzeyan. The people of the village make their living like all the surrounding villages, through agriculture. From olive fields, vineyards, grains, and vegetable gardens.
Di gel çandiniyê, hin malbat sewalan jî xwedî dikin. Nîzî pazde kes li bajarê Efrînê di kargehên cûrbecûr de kar dikin. Along with agriculture, some families also raise livestock. Nearly fifteen people work in various workplaces in the city of Afrin.
Û nîzî pazde kes jî di sazî û desteyên Rêveberiya Xweser de li Efrînê wekî karmend kar dikin. And nearly fifteen people work as employees in the institutions and bodies of the Autonomous Administration in Afrin.
Ziyaretgeh û qesl li nîvê gund e. Berê xelkê gund di êvarên Pêncşemê de serdana wê dikirin. The shrine and dome are in the middle of the village. In the past, the villagers used to visit it on Thursday evenings.
Her wiha sê pakrewan jî gund hene. Şehîd Derwêş, Hogir û Şehîd Hoşeng. There are also three martyrs in the village. Martyr Derwêş, Hogir, and Martyr Hoşeng.

Behsa odê jî kirin. Me got em derbasî odê bibin. Em di destpêkê de hinekî dîroka odê ji te bipirsin. Ev oda kê ava kir, kê çêkir? They also mentioned the guest room. We said let's enter the room. First, let us ask you a bit about the history of the room. Who built this room, who made it?
Hee, ava Emîn çêkir. Emîn. Heh, Emin built it. Emin.
Yani çiqas sal di ser vê odê re derbas bûne? So how many years have passed since this room was built?
Ê welahet, de çarsed-pêncsed sal da heye hema. Hema, yanî hema ji Emîn da maye oda jêr. Well, honestly, there are about four hundred to five hundred years. Just, it has remained from Emin, the room below.

Erê. Ew a jêr o tirk girtin. Yes. The one below, the Turks took it.
Hinikî em behsa odê bikin ne... oda kê girt û dû re da minê nan? Let's talk a bit about the room... who kept the room and then gave bread (hospitality)?
Emînê Şûrbe girt. Emin of Şûrbe kept it.
Apê Elî jî behs kir. Uncle Ali also mentioned it.
Erê. Yes.
Di wê demê de yanî vê odê, ew destpêka gund... ev oda bû yanî? At that time, meaning this room, at the beginning of the village... was it this room?
Hev oda bû. Wi esas danî û asas girt. Badî ku carekê gund xera bû, şewitî da bû, hat dîsa... avakar kir û oda girt û mêvan û der hatin cem. It was this room. He laid the foundation and kept the foundation. After the village was destroyed once, it was burned, he came again... rebuilt it and kept the room, and guests and people came to him.
Kerem ke Apê Elî em ji te jî bipirsin. Na... dema... ka hinekî behsa vê odê bike ji me re. Di vê odê de çi dikirin? Please Uncle Ali, let us ask you too. No... when... tell us a bit about this room. What did they do in this room?
Vê odê da... Aslan Axa, mêvan dihatin cem, diçûn... xûdanê eşîra omka bûn... Herb bi Fransa ra dikir, herb bi Ismîl Axa ra dikir... In this room... Aslan Agha, guests came to him, went... they were the leaders of the Omka tribe... He fought wars with France, he fought wars with Ismail Agha...
Peyê gindî... eşîrê gindî, gûlpîş gindî bûn, gûlpîş vê odê ra dibûn, rûdiniştin, dihatin vê odê, bi vê odê nas dibûn. The village men... the village tribes, were all supporters of the village, supporters of this room, they sat, came to this room, became known through this room.
Malê Şûrbe bi vê odê nas dibûn. Malê Şûrbe xela çêbû, şûrbe kelandin, dan vê gundan a, nav lê kirin Şûrbe. The house of Şûrbe was known through this room. The house of Şûrbe, a famine happened, they boiled soup, gave it to these villages, so they named it Şûrbe (Soup).
Hev navê me jî wi tiştî bûn, mala Şûrbe. Xûdanê odê Aslanê Şûrbe bû, Memedê Şûrbe bû, Elî bû, yekî teslîmî yekî kir, Emîn bû... Emrê odê sêsed sal heye waye. Our name was also this thing, the house of Şûrbe. The owner of the room was Aslan of Şûrbe, Memed of Şûrbe, Ali, one handed it to another, Emin... The age of the room is about three hundred years like this.
Ka em ji we jî bipirsin ne... Yani... ev oda... heftane bû? Li oda din jî hebûn? Let us ask you too... Meaning... this room... was it weekly? Were there other rooms too?
Xwane hebûn. There were houses.
Xwaniyê ser dikan tirmê hebûn? Were there houses on the platforms?
Bes erba, gi xera kirin, gi şewitandin, oda û der kirin. Ji vir da heta wi tebeqê me wi da. Gi xane bûn. But the war, they destroyed everything, burned everything, ousted the room and all. From here to that floor of ours over there. All were houses.
Yani metbex a xa bû? So the kitchen was separate?
Aaa... cihekê rûniştina wi l'vir bû. Mêvanê l'vir bû. Gi l'vir bû. Ah... his sitting place was here. His guest was here. Everything was here.
Di wê demê de peyew jî xa jî hebûn? At that time, were there servants of his own too?
Erê, peyew jî hebûn lê. Yes, there were servants too.
Hena çi di vê odê de heye? Çi di vê xanî de heye? Hena em dixwazin nas bikin. Now what is in this room? What is in this house? We want to know now.
Ba xanî na... pîşê gindî... eywan mese... mahek heye... sê miter, çêl miter dirêjiya xwe ye, hewa bes ji bo... xizmetê mêvana û gîndiya. Well, not a house... front of the village... an Iwan (hall) for example... there is a space... three meters, forty meters is its length, it is just for... the service of guests and villagers.
Feqet... mebesta wi avahî ji bo mêvana bû. Only... the purpose of that building was for guests.
Apê Elî tu çi zanî? Hena em dixwazin nas bikin. Uncle Ali, what do you know? We want to know now.
E wela Şerîf... na mi ter go... miko hewa serokê eşîra omka bû. Noko doxê wî zemanî da, telefon tunebûn, rê û olaq tunebûn. Well Sherif... I told you... since he was the head of the Omka tribe. Back in the conditions of that time, there were no phones, there were no roads and couriers.
Xeberekê çû bidana hev... digû hilkişin ser tebeqê... yani kilîf li vî gundî hebûn. Li defê dixistin... heta xebere bi aşîretê din. If a news was to be shared... they said climb on the roof... meaning there were sentinels in this village. They beat the drum... until the news reached the other tribe.
Meselen Hesandêra dibîhist... Hesandêra xeber dida Qerigulê... bîna tîştkî... Dihate vê odê... wî zemanî da... mi go telefon tunebûn. For example, Hasandera heard... Hasandera gave news to Qerigul... like a thing... It came to this room... in that time... I said there were no phones.
Mezinê eşîretê dihatin vê odê. Di vê odê de rûdiniştin. Elders of the tribe came to this room. They sat in this room.
Meselen ji gundên derdora me... gundê me bi vê odê heye, heta kilbederê li hevkû bûn. Gêkê çi îş bikirana... Tima telefon tunebûn. Wî zemanî gi der... qut bûn yani. Ne rê û olaq hebûn. For example from the surrounding villages... our village exists with this room, until neighbors were together. Whatever work they did... Phones didn't exist. At that time all places... were cut off. Neither roads nor couriers existed.
Kîjan malbat da hebûn? Ji xeynî... Which families were there? Besides...
E, em dibên mala Şêx Birîm. Û mala Qember Lez o. Mala Hesên Cemal... Eh, we say the house of Sheikh Birim. And the house of Qamber Lez. The house of Hesen Jemal...
Lê lê... malê xwa hebûn li paş gund leza şûnê xerabê wan bêlin e, şûnê xaniyê wan bêlin e. But... they had their houses behind the village, quickly their ruins are visible, the traces of their houses are visible.
Em dixwazin hinde cîrokan, balkêş bûn, çi di vir de bûn? Yani tişt nûneki balkêş bûn, tiş me ra hewal de. We want some stories, interesting ones, what happened here? Meaning something interesting, tell us.
Yani va oda... a gî bû... a qusîrê semekê... a... nû rûniştinê... A qewmiyetê bû, a gî bû, a mi'anetê bû, a însaniyetiyê bû, a hezkirinê bû. Hev oda esasa wî tiştî bû. So this room... was of bravery... of [unclear]... of... new sitting... It was of nationalism, of bravery, of aid, of humanity, of love. This room was the foundation of that thing.
Di wê demê de sînor jî nebû? Kurdistan gi yek bû? At that time there was no border either? Kurdistan was all one?
Erê. Yes.
Di wê demê, dema destpê bûye, vê odê, tu dijmin tişt nebûn li kilekê? At that time, when it started, this room, were there no enemies or things on the side?
E wela Şerîf, hebûn, çêçar bra, gi l'kêlek hev bûn. Yani xaniyê wan giyan jî dab raqil bû, lezal esasê gund jî bêli ye. Well Sherif, there were, three or four brothers, all beside each other. Their houses were also standing, quickly the foundation of the village is visible.
Meselen xeterîk li bir çê dibû, ra ditaliya gund radibû der. For example, if a danger happened in front, it arose at the end of the village.
Û... yani heta peyak, ez bêjim Xwedê rehma xalikê, ew jî ji endamê Aslan Axa bû... Yani heta roja berî rehmetî bibê, ez mewcûd bûm. And... even a man, I say God have mercy on my uncle, he was also a member of Aslan Agha... Even until the day before he died, I was present.
Berbî gund dan qulbê Mihemed, go berbî mi... ber çê bik, go mila xwedê emanetî xa be. Xêr e, evna qehremanê çiyayê Hawarê bûn. He turned his face toward the village of Muhammed, said toward me... do something, said may God's protection be on himself. It is good, these were the heroes of Mount Hawar.
Em bibên, oxlerê din çûn, deşt û duza... me tim pişta xa da çiyayê xêre. We say, the others went, plains and flats... we always gave our back to the mountain of good.
Tim em meriniyê herbê jî bûn, em aqas sal talan bûn û xera bûn, û em j'warê xa naman, me şerê dijmin kir. Dijminê me yê Osmanî, işte Fransiz, hat gişt b'derê, b'top û tivinga... em dused jara xera kirin. Always we were men of war too, we were looted and destroyed for so many years, and we didn't leave our place, we fought the enemy. Our Ottoman enemy, well French, came all out, with cannons and rifles... they destroyed us two hundred times.
Mala wa ava be. Spas ji bo we. May your house be prosperous. Thank you.
