Navê Şêrawa ji eşîra Şêran hatiye. Û ev navçe bi navê Şêrawan tê naskirin. The name Sherawa comes from the Sheran tribe. And this district is known by the name Sherawan.
Sî gundên navçeya Şêrawan hene, gundê Soxanekê yek ji gundên vî navçeyê ye. There are thirty villages in the Sherawan district, the village of Soxaneke is one of the villages in this district.
Navê gundê Soxanekê ji peyva Soxan hatiye. Anku bi zaravayê Hewramanî, tê wateya dîrok an jî jiyan. The name of the village Soxaneke comes from the word Soxan. Meaning in the Hawrami dialect, it means history or life.
Lê di serdema Osmaniyan de nav bû Soxan, anku Soxanek. But during the Ottoman era, the name became Soxan, meaning Soxanek.
Û ta niha êlek Kurdî ya Êzîdî li Bakurê Kurdistanê li Sêwerekê bi navê Soxanek heye. And until now there is a Kurdish Yezidi tribe in Northern Kurdistan in Siverek with the name Soxanek.
Lê hin lêkolînvanên Ereb jî dibêjin: Navê gund bi Aramî ye û wateya wî ciyê kombûn û pirbûnê ye. But some Arab researchers also say: The name of the village is in Aramaic and its meaning is a place of gathering and abundance.
Hinek kes jî dibêjin: Ev nav ji Tirkî hatiye û wateya wê pîvaz e. Lê ev ne rast e. Some people also say: This name came from Turkish and its meaning is onion. But this is not true.
Di sala 1979'an de, Rêjîma Sûriyê navê gund guhert, navê 'Beseliyê' anku Pîvazok lê kir. In 1979, the Syrian regime changed the name of the village, they named it 'Beseliye' which means small onion.
Gundê Soxanekê nêzî 20 kîlometreyî li başûrê Efrînê, li ser çiyayê Lêlûnê dikeve. The village of Soxaneke is located about 20 kilometers south of Afrin, on Mount Lelun.
Navê Lêlûn jî li gorî Celadet Bedirxan dibêje, ji navê 'Daralol' an 'Dilf' hatiye. The name Lelun, according to what Celadet Bedirxan says, comes from the name 'Daralol' or 'Dilf'.
Hinek kes jî dibêjin ev nav bi Kurdî ye, tê wateya çiyayê zeytûnê. Some people also say this name is in Kurdish, meaning the mountain of olives.
Belê temaşevanên hêja, di gundê Soxanekê de em derbasî cem dayikan bûn. Yes, dear viewers, in the village of Soxaneke we went to visit the mothers.

Yanî wekî çi, wekî penêr, wekî rûn, wekî lorik, wekî qerîş, em jî çêdikin, hazir dikin. Meaning like what, like cheese, like butter, like lorik (curds), like qerish, we also make it, prepare it.

Wê rûn jê çêbibe? Will butter be made from it?
Em rûn jê çêdikin. Dew jê çêdibe, rûn jê çêdibe, penêr jê çêdibe. We make butter from it. Ayran (buttermilk) is made from it, butter is made from it, cheese is made from it.

Nîvgine digihe wek saetekî zêde heye. Wekî bibe jî wekî nîv saetê heye. Sometimes it reaches about an hour or more. And sometimes it takes about half an hour.
Naha her jinik bi tenê çêdike? Now does each woman make it alone?
Bi tenê xwe yê we nakin, hinek têk çêdikin. They don't just do it alone, some make it together.
Wêna her demekî çêdike, her roj çêdikin? Do they make it all the time, do they make it every day?
Wextê bihar her roj e. In the springtime it's every day.
Her roj. Every day.
Û pez stawr bû, hişk bû, şîr tine ye. And when the sheep go dry, they dry up, there is no milk.

Soxanekê mîna hemû gundên navçeya Şêrawa bi kevneşopiyan navdar e. Soxaneke, like all the villages of the Sherawa district, is famous for its traditions.
Û gelek dever û cihên dîrokî lê hene û tên dîtin. And there are many historical places and sites there to be seen.
Mîna du dêr, Qesra Sêlîn, bêtirî 20 guvaşên zeytûnan, û tirb, û derdora sed bîrên avê lê tên dîtin. Such as two churches, the Selin Palace, more than 20 olive presses, and tombs, and around a hundred water wells are found there.
bi dîtin, ev xirabeyên ku dihên dîtin, bi taybetî jî di vê derê de, gelek şikeft û xanî hebûn. These ruins, especially in this area, have a lot of caves and houses.
Du xerabeyên li gund hene. There are two ruins in the village.
Yek li rojhilatê gund, bi navê Wariyê Xirbê tê naskirin. One to the east of the village is known as Wariyê Xirbê.
Tê de du birc hene û bilindahiya wan deh metreyan e. There are two towers in it and their height is ten meters.
Heft sarinc, şikeftek û govaşkek hene. It has seven cisterns, a cave, and a wine press.
Ya din jî du kîlometreyan li başûrê gund dikeve. The other one is two kilometers south of the village.
Tukeş tê de nîne. Tukeş is not there.
Tê de dêrek, golek ava mezin, çar şikeft... It has a church, a large pool of water, four caves...
...bircek herfî hene. ...and a ruined tower.
Kesên ku li gund dijiyan, piraniya wan xelkên Êzdî bûn. The majority of the people living in the village were Yezidis.
Niştecihên gund ji eşîra Êlozin e. The inhabitants of the village belong to the Êloz clan.
Lê tenê malbateke ji eşîra Xastiyan e. But there is only one family from the Xasti clan.

Belê temaşevanên hêja... Yes, dear viewers...
...di gundê Sêxanekê de jî em gelek geiyan, em rastî gelek dîrokê jî hatin. ...we walked a lot in the village of Sêxanekê, and we came across a lot of history.
Zûda min meraq dikir... I was wondering for a while...
Însaneke ji vî gundî me nas bikira. If only we knew someone from this village.
Îro jî gelek şansê me baş bû... Today our luck was very good...
...em rastî wî însanî hatin. ...we came across that person.
Ew însan jî... And that person is...
Dîroknas e, lêkolînvan e, helbestvan e... A historian, a researcher, a poet...
...Merwan Berekat. ...Merwan Berekat.
Merheba, şevbaş mamoste. Hello, good evening teacher.
Sercavan, mamosteyê hêja. You're welcome, dear teacher.
Sax be. Be well.
Sercavan. You're welcome.
Mamoste me xwest em... Teacher, we wanted to...
...dîrok û Çiyayê Lêlûn ji te bipirsin. ...ask you about the history and the Mountain of Lêlûn.
Û şûnwara wê. And its monuments.
Belê. Yes.
Destpêkê de em sipasiya we... First of all, we thank you...
hatina we û bernameya ax û welat dikin. ...for coming and for the "Ax û Welat" program.
Sipas ji te re jî. Thanks to you too.
Eger em vegerin dîrokê, destpêkê... If we go back to history, first of all...
Di serdema mirovê Neanderthal... In the Neanderthal era...
Di seranserî Çiyayê Kurmênc û Rojhilata Navîn... Throughout Kurmênc Mountain and the Middle East...
...tenê sê cih û war hene ku... ...there are only three places where...
...mirovê Neanderthal beriya zayînê... ...the Neanderthal human before Christ...
Bi 40 heta 100 hezar sal tê de jiyan kirine. They lived there for 40 to 100 thousand years.
Yek ji wan cihan... One of those places...
Li Çiyayê Lêlûn e û nav lê dibe... It's in the Mountain of Lêlûn and it's called...
Şikefta Duderiyê. The Duderiyê Cave.
Ango Herêma Çiyayê Lêlûn û navçeya Çiyayê Lêlûn... In other words, the region of Lêlûn Mountain and the district of Lêlûn Mountain...
...û Herêma Efrînê, herêmek dîrokî ye. ...and the Afrin Region, is a historical region.
Herêmek... A region...
Pir şaristanî di ser vê re çûn û hatin... Many civilizations passed through this region...
...û her şaristaniyekê li gor kanabûn... ...and each civilization according to its abilities...
û dirêjiya dîroka xwe berma li vir hiştin. ...and the length of its history left monuments here.
Serdemên ku em dibînin, berma an jî şopên dîrokî... The eras we see, historical monuments or traces...
Bi cîh de, me got Şikefta Duderiyê li bîra me tê. In place, we said the Duderiyê Cave comes to mind.
Her wiha perestgeha Eyn Darê ya Mîtaniyan tê bîra me... Also the Eyn Darê temple of the Mitannis comes to mind...
Her wiha... Also...
Kela Nebî Hûrî, ya Hûriyan... The Nabi Huri Citadel, of the Hurrians...
Li bîra me tê. It comes to mind.
Û bi sedan cih û war, û gir hene... And there are hundreds of places and war, and hills...
Belkî hîn jî... Maybe even still...
Heta niha tevra lêkolînvanan li wan neketine... So far, researchers have not investigated them...
Lê eger lê bikolin û baş werin lêkolînkirin... But if they dig and they are well researched...
...belkî rûyê dîroka Rojhilata Navîn tev ji nû ve bê guhertin. ...maybe the whole face of the Middle East's history will be changed again.
Ev rasteqînek e... This is a truth...
Ev rasteqînek e dîrokî ye ji Herêma Efrînê û tevezincîra Çiyayê Lêlûn. This is a historical truth of the Afrin Region and the entire chain of the Lêlûn Mountain.
Belê. Yes.
Di serdemê de, piştî ku serkeftina Xiristiyaniyan... In the era, after the victory of the Christians...
Di wê herêmê de çêbû... It happened in that region...
Pir dêr, an jî... A lot of churches, or...
...perestgehên Xiristiyanan li vî herêmî hatin avakirin. ...Christian temples were built in this region.
Lê ew li ser... But they...
...şopên perestgehên kevnar hatin avakirin. ...were built on the traces of ancient temples.
Ew di kîjan demê de bûn? When were they?
Baş e. Okay.
Me got... We said...
Xwedawend, yanî Xweda... The God, I mean God...
Nebo, ne Heso... Nebo, not Heso...
Di sedê pêncem ê beriya zayînê bû. It was in the fifth century BC.
Lê dema ku... But when...
Wê dirêj kir, berdewam kir... It prolonged it, continued...
Lê dema ku Mar Maron derbasî vê derê bûyî... But when Mar Maron passed by here...
Lêkolînvan tev teqez dikin ku... All researchers agree that...
Mar Maron ne ji derve hat, ne ji derveyî herêmê hat. Mar Maron didn't come from outside, he didn't come from outside the region.
Ji wan teqez dikin ku ew ji herêma Nebî Hûrî hat. Of those who make it clear that he came from the Nabi Huri region.
Ango ji niştecihên Herêma Efrînê bû. So he was from the residents of the Afrin Region.
Ji niştecihên Herêma Efrînê bû. He was from the residents of the Afrin Region.
Lê xwest bîr û baweriyên ku bi pûtan dibin bighere... But he wanted to change the thoughts and beliefs that are associated with idols...
...û berê wan bide bi yekbûna Xweda. ...and turn them to the unity of God.
Ena Xweda heye, Xweda ne pût û ne nizanim çi ne. This is God, God is not an idol or I don't know what they are.
Evana ji vedigerin... These are returning...
Sedsala 300 û hinek, 320, 323... The century 300 and something, 320, 323...
Berî... an piştî zayînê. Before... or after Christ.
Piştî zayînê. After Christ.
Ji ber wê jî geşedanek... That's why a development...
Piştî ku hatî geşedanek... After it came, a development...
Di herêma zincîra Çiyayê Lêlûn de çêbû... It happened in the region of the Lêlûn Mountain chain...
Ew geşedan jî... That development too...
Te dît, eger em gereke lê bikin... You saw, if we need to do it...
Em ê bibînin... We will see...
Şopewarên wan, zincîra Çiyayê Lêlûn pir siq in. Their traces, the Lêlûn Mountain chain are very tight.
Nêzîkî hev in. They are close to each other.
Ew geşedana... That development...
Dirêj dike ta... Will last until...
...sedsala heftan a zayînê. ...the seventh century AD.
Sedsala heftê... The seventh century...
J... F...
...serdema zayînê. ...the era of Christ.
Lê... But...
Piştî wê demê, hinek valahî di Çiyayê Lêlûn de çêdibin. After that time, some voids happen in the Lêlûn Mountain.
Ew valahî jî sedemên wê... The reasons for those voids are...
Pevçûn û şerên mezin ên ku di navbera... Clashes and major wars between...
Imperatoriya Îslamî û Împeratoriya Xiristiyaniyan de çêbûyî... The Islamic Empire and the Christian Empire...
Ew şeran bi dehan salan dirêj dikir... Those wars lasted for decades...
Belkî carna bi sedî salan jî... Maybe sometimes even centuries...
Li ber xwe dida. It resisted.
Pêldanek e koçberiye ji aliyê Bakur ve... It's a wave of migration from the North...
Ji aliyê niştecihan ji... From the residents of...
Bere bakur çêdibû. To the north was happening.
Di dema ku ew koçberî çêdibû em nizanin. We don't know when that migration happened.
Ew bi sedsalan dima, bi dehan salan dima... Did it last for centuries, for decades...
Lê ew kesên koçber dibûn, bi nifşên xwe re digotin... But those who migrated used to tell their generations...
Bi kurên xwe re, bi zarokên xwe re, digotin... With their sons, with their children, they said...
Em ji filan herêmê... We are from that region...
Ji filan navçeyê... From that district...
Ji filan deverê... From that place...
Ji filan gundî hatine. We came from that village.
Eger rojekê hêminî çêbibe û aramî çêbibe... If one day there is peace and quiet...
Şopewarên me filan gund e, navê wî jî wisa ye. Our traces are that village, and its name is like this.
Navê wî jî digotin. They also said its name.
Bi rastî valahiyek di vê herêmê de... Indeed, a void in this region...
Çiyayê Kurmênc... Çiyayê Lêlûn de çêbû... Kurmênc Mountain... It happened in the Lêlûn Mountain...
Ew jî di serdema... That also in the era of...
Yanî, 1080... Meaning, 1080...
...ta, yan 1200 ê zayînê... ...until, or 1200 AD...
Valahiyek çêdibe. A void occurs.
Ew valahî... Çiyayê Çiyayê Lêlûn bi tevahî dibe daristanek e... That void... The Lêlûn Mountain becomes a forest entirely...
...pir stûr û pir dirinde. ...very thick and very brutal.
Cihekî bi tirs... A scary place...
Ji ber ku kes tê de nema. Because no one was left in it.
Ew sedem jî... And the reason...
Me got tim di wan serdeman de... We said always in those eras...
Dibe eniyeke şer di navbera... It becomes a war front between...
Împeratoriya Îslamî û ya Xiristiyanî... The Islamic Empire and the Christian one...
Û her wiha êrîşên ku ji pişt Xiristiyaniyan jî hatin. And also the attacks that came from behind the Christians.
Ev dever, ev serdem pir dirêj nake. This place, this era does not last long.
Lê ew kesên ku çûnî û koç bûyî... But those who went and migrated...
Û bi zarokên xwe re, bi nifşên xwe re... And with their children, with their generations...
Gotinî, cihwarên me ew e... They said, our places are that...
Hin ji wan vegeriyan. Some of them returned.
Yanî em ê vegerin, hin ji wan berî 200 sal... I mean we will return, some of them 200 years ago...
Hin berî 1300 sal, û belkî bêtirî wê... Some 1300 years ago, and maybe more than that...
Û belkî kêmî wê jî vegeriyan. And maybe less than that returned too.
Belê, rast e, ji bo gundan her yek dibêjin... Yes, it's true, for the villages they say...
Gundê me 300 sal ava bûye, hinek dibêjin 400 sal e ava bûye. Our village was built 300 years ago, some say it was built 400 years ago.
Hinek dibêjin 150 sal ava bûye. Some say it was built 150 years ago.
Ew... That...
Bersivek şaş e, ew nehatiye... It's a wrong answer, he hasn't come...
Ji 400 sal, 300 sal, 200 sal de hatiye... From 400 years, 300 years, 200 years he has come...
Hatiye avakirin. It's been built.
Ew ji nû ve avakirin e. That's rebuilding.
Ji nû ve avakirin li ser destê nifşên... Rebuilding by the hands of the generations...
Yên ku berî wan ji cih û warê xwe wek Kurd koç bûn. Who before them migrated from their homes and places as Kurds.
Ji encamên şer û pevçûnên ku di herêmê de çêbûne. As a result of the wars and clashes that happened in the region.
Dema ku em dibêjin Sûxanek. When we say Sûxanek.
Ew ne Sûxanek e. That is not Sûxanek.
Tîpa "H" di serdema Osmaniyan de... The letter "H" during the Ottoman era...
Dema ku tiştên xwe... When their things...
Li navendên wan tomar dikirin... They recorded them in their centers...
Ew tîpa "X" bi "H" hatibû guhertin. That letter "X" was changed to "H".
Lê navê wê yê serast Sohanek e. But its real name is Sohanek.
Sohanek bêjeyek e... Sohanek is a word...
Pêk hatî ye. It's formed.
Ji Sohan û "ek" pêk hatiye. It consists of Sohan and "ek".
Sohan, di Kurdiya Hewremanî de... Sohan, in the Hewremani Kurdish...
Tirs û jan e. It's fear and pain.
"Ek" jî paşdaçek e... "Ek" is a suffix...
Paşkît e. It's a suffix.
Dema ku em dibêjin Sohanek... When we say Sohanek...
Tir û êş e, ew jî rastiyeka... It's fear and pain, that too is a reality...
Herêmê bû. Dema ku Mihemedê Berko... Of the region. When Mihemedê Berko...
Hatî û xwest xwe li cih û warê... Came and wanted to...
Li cih û warê bav û kalên xwe vegerîne... Return to the place of his ancestors...
Seranserî vê herêmê daristanek bi tirs û pir dirinde bû. Throughout this region there was a forest full of fear and very brutal.
Her kesek nekarîbû bihata lê cîwar bibûya. Not just anyone could come and live there.
Ji ber cihê tirsê bû. Because it was a place of fear.
Cihêkî bi tirs bû. It was a scary place.
Lê dema ku ew hatî... But when he came...
Ew hêzdar bû. He was strong.
Ew digel heft kurên xwe û heft xuşkên xwe hat. He came with his seven sons and seven sisters.
Ji ber wê jî, ew nav maye, Sohanek e. That's why, that name remained, it's Sohanek.
Bi zimanê, Kurdiya Hewremanî... In the language, Hewremani Kurdish...
Kurdiyeke Hewremanî ye. It's a Hewremani Kurdish.
Lê hin jêderên nivîskarên ereb, mixabin... But some sources of Arab writers, unfortunately...
Sed carî mixabin. A hundred times unfortunately.
Karin, yan ne baş li wan hatibûn, yan... Or it didn't come to them well, or...
Helpesartin ji aliyê rûjîma el-Beas ve... Suspension by the Ba'ath regime...
Û ji wan hatibû xwestin ku... And they were asked to...
Nav û her tiştekî girêdayî ya Kurdan bi vê axê ve... Name and everything related to the Kurds with this land...
Biguherin. To change it.
Yek ji wan. One of them.
Lêkolînvan Ebdella... Researcher Abdullah...
Carê yek Elî El-Asaf e. Ew anad bi cinsê xwe xelkê navçeyekî Aramî ye. Û wateya wê pirbûn û kombûn e. Once there was someone named Ali al-Assaf. By descent, he is from an Aramean region. And its meaning is reproduction and gathering.
Lê ev tiştkî şaş e, ne rast e, ne durist e, waha jê hatin û xwestin. Divê dîroka kurda biguherînin, lê dîrok tu carî, derew li dîrokê nabin. But this is wrong, it's not true, it's incorrect, they wanted it to be this way. They want to change Kurdish history, but history is never, lies are not added to history.
Derew li dîrokê nabin, xwediyê milletan, xwediyê xakê di xwe de, di xwe di derdikevin. Di wê de derdikevin û wateya rast û dîroka rast dinivsînin û belge dikin. Lies don't work in history, the people of the nations, the owners of the land manifest it. They emerge and they write and document the true meaning and true history.
Rastiya herêma Çiyayê Lêlûn ev e. Rastiya gundê Soxanekê ev e. The truth of the Mount Lelun region is this. The truth of the village of Soxaneke is this.
Mamoste baş e naha, ev herêma Şêrewa yanî berî vê bi 100 salî 200 salî hemû Êzîdî bûn. Ev kîngî bûn Misilman? Teacher, alright then, this region of Sherewa, I mean 100 or 200 years ago they were all Yazidis. When did they become Muslim?
Belê. Ne tenê herêma Şêrewa, lê em dikarin bibêjin kurd bi tev... bîr û baweriya wan Êzdahî bûn. Yes. Not only the Sherewa region, but we can say that Kurds as a whole... their belief and faith was Yezidism.
Wek em li ba wan in, em qala Şêrewa tenê dikin. Because we are with them, we were only talking about Sherewa.
Belê, Êzdahî bûn û hîn jî Êzdahî hene, ew ne yezîdî ne, ew Êzdahî ne. Belê. Yes, they were Yezidis, and there are still Yezidis, they are not Yezidis (by name only), they are Yezidis (followers of Yezidism). Yes.
Û em ji bîr nekin di dîroka nûjen û dema dewleta, Împaratoriya Osmanî û serokê meşayîxan li Asîtana di wê demê de, yên ku biryar destdan dînî... And let's not forget in modern history, during the era of the Ottoman Empire, and the heads of the sheikhs in Astana (Istanbul) at that time, who made religious decisions...
Heftê û hinek ferman li ser Êzdahiyan bi derxistin, Êzdahî bij û belav bûn. They issued seventy-something decrees against the Yezidis, Yezidis scattered and dispersed.
Ji wê belavbûnê, hînan ji tirsa xwe bûn misilman, hîn jî bi bîr û bawerî bûn.. bi bîr û bawerî bûn. From that dispersal, some became Muslim out of fear, some out of belief... out of belief.
Lê dema ku tu derbasî maleka ew kurdê êzdahiyê ku bûyî misilman, tê bibînî ku hîn her du bîr û bawerî bûyî re hene. Çima? But when you enter the home of a Kurdish Yezidi who became Muslim, you'll see that they still have both beliefs and faiths. Why?
Dibêje, 'Bi xwedê zarokê min, bi serê me ha, ketiye bibin canê filan kes...' ew destê xwe ye, ew pêçiya xwe diket teniyê. They say, "By God, my child, by our head, by the soul of so- and-so..." they take their hand, they put their finger in soot.
Ji ber ko, tenî bermaya agir e, ji ber ko bîr û baweriya kurdan kevnar bi agir dihat, ... tê dît xaçikê li eniya wî çêdike. Because soot is the residue of fire, because the ancient belief and faith of the Kurds was associated with fire... you'll see them drawing a cross on their forehead.
Lê li alîkî din dema ku tu derbas dibî pîrejenek zarokê xwe ji landikê vedike, ew bi piyê wî digre, dest pê dike dibê: Bismillahirahmanirahim. Misilman e. But on the other hand, when you enter and an old woman takes her child out of the cradle, she holds his foot, starts and says: Bismillahirahmanirahim (In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful). She's Muslim.
Lê li di pişt wî re wêneyê xaç dike. Wisa dike, û wisa dike. But right after that she draws the sign of the cross. She does this, and she does this.
Çima wisa? Ji ber ku di bîr û baweriya Êzdahiya ya kevnar de xaçê ku aliyên wî wek hev de, ev nîşandana çi didan? Why is that? Because in the ancient Yezidi belief and faith, the cross with equal sides, what did it represent?
Nîşandana jiyanê didan. Agir e, av e, ax e, ba ye. It represented life. Fire, water, earth, wind.
Evana ji bîr û baweriyên êzdahiyan bûn yên kurdan bûn. These were from the Yezidi beliefs and faiths of the Kurds.
Ne ji zû de wate evana hîn gundê Basûfanê, Kîmarê, herwiha belkî li Bêyê, evana hîn Êzdahî tê de hene. Not long ago, meaning these villages like Basufan, Kimar, and also maybe Beye, still have Yezidis in them.
Lê em ne ji zûde, yanî belkî piştî Mihemedê Berket em bûne misilman, lê em êzdahî bûn. But we didn't become Muslims long ago, maybe after Muhammad Barkat we became Muslim, but we were Yezidis.
Mamoste bi borîn wextê me hinekî kêm e emê li bîr û nêrînên xwe şad û gazin... Teacher, excuse me, our time is a bit short, we will pass...
Du xirabe li gund hene, yek li rojhilatê gund bi navê Warê Xirabeyê Nasiran, tê de du birc hene û bilindahiya wan deh metron e. There are two ruins in the village. One is to the east of the village named the Ruined Camp of the Nasiris, in it are two towers and their height is ten meters.
Heft sarînc şikeft û kevirekî keşik hene. Ya din jî du kîlometrî li başûrê gund dikeve, tu kes tê da nîne. There are seven cistern caves and a large stone. The other is two kilometers south of the village, there is no one in it.
Tê da dêrek, kolek avê mezin, çar şikeft û bircek herifî hene. In it there is a church, a large pool of water, four caves, and a ruined tower.
Kesên ku li gund dijiyan, piraniya wan xelkê êzdî bûn. Nîştecihên gund ji eşîra Îloziya ne, lê tenê malbatek ji eşîra Xastiya ne. The people who lived in the village, most of them were Yezidi people. The inhabitants of the village are from the Ilozi tribe, but there is only one family from the Xasti tribe.
Derdora 135 xanî di gund de hene. Û nêzî hezar û dused kes li gund dijîn. There are around 135 houses in the village. And nearly one thousand two hundred people live in the village.
Xelkê gund ji ber ko erdên xwe bêtir zinaranin, debara xwe ji xwedîkirina sewalan ji mîh bizin, çêlekan dikin. Because their lands are mostly rocky, the people of the village make their living by keeping animals like sheep, goats, and cows.
Li gel çandiniya darên zeytûnê herwiha çandiniya zeviyan, genim, ceh, nîsk û colban jî dikin. Along with cultivating olive trees, they also cultivate fields of wheat, barley, lentils, and vetch.
Hemû gundî di şahî û xemgînî û kêfxweşiyan de li ser hev dicivin. Û ji hev re dibin alîkar, û hemû pirsgirêkên xwe di nav hev du de çareser dikin. All the villagers gather together in joy, sorrow, and happiness. They help each other and solve all their problems among themselves.
Di gund de odeyek hebu. Tê de hemû gundî diciviyan û mijarên cûr be cûr guftûgo dikirin. There was a room in the village. In it, all the villagers used to gather and discuss various topics.
Û herwiha pirsgirêk lê çareser dikirin. Lê niha ew ode bûye kavil, û bi kar nayê. And they also used to solve problems there. But now that room is in ruins, and it is not used.
Lê jibilî odeyê, komîngeha gund ava bûye, û bi awayekî rêxistinî gundî civînan li dar dixin, û kêşeyan gengeşe dikin. But besides the room, the village commune has been built, and in an organized way the villagers hold meetings and discuss issues.
Gundek bi navê Dêrmişmiş li bakûrê Soxanekê heye, pênc malbat lê dijîn. Û hemû malbat girêdayî gundê Soxanekê ne. There is a village called Dermishmish to the north of Soxaneke, five families live there. And all the families are connected to the village of Soxaneke.
Gundê Soxanekê mîna gelek gundên navçeya Şêrewa ya ku, bi berhemên sewalên xwe navdar e, mîna şîr, penîr, mast, rûn, hêk û mastê kemandî, herwiha çêkirina hingiv jî. The village of Soxaneke, like many villages in the Sherewa district, is famous for its animal products, like milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, eggs, and strained yogurt, as well as honey production.
Lê li gel van berheman, xelkên gund hirî, goşt, hêkan jî li bazarên Efrînê û navçeyan difiroşin, û pêdiviyên gelên kantona Efrînê peyda dikin. Besides these products, the village people also sell wool, meat, and eggs in the markets of Afrin and the districts, and provide for the needs of the people of the Afrin canton.

Çima? Why not?
Apê Ehmed, hinekî behsa cot bike. Uncle Ehmed, tell us a bit about plowing.
Cotê me, kalikê bavê me bi çêlek û cût dikirin, va erdan hal tanîn... di sed sal de. Our plowing, our grandfathers and fathers used to plow with cows, they prepared these lands... over a hundred years.
Destpêkê paşê kalik û bavê min bû, paşê... Paşê kalikê kalikê min bû.. Û ez jî bavê min dest pê kir. In the beginning, then it was my grandfather and father, then... Then it was my grandfather's grandfather... And my father started too.
Û ez jî dest pê dikim, haşa bi keran ez cot dikim, bi hala, ewa şeta me, eva kar e ye. Em pê debara xwe dikin. And I start too, excuse me, I plow with donkeys, this is our condition, this is the work. We make our living with it.
Em nîskan diçînin, colbanan diçînin, cih diçînin. Em genim diçînin, ma em evê debarê çin e. We plant lentils, we plant vetch, we plant barley. We plant wheat, how else would we make a living.
Naha tu çi diçînî? What are you planting now?
Ez ê naha nîska diçînim. I am planting lentils now.
Naha dema nîska ye? Is it lentil season now?
Naha dema nîska ye, berê e cîh hebû, me çand genim, me çand, pêşiya ewilî me genim çand. Piştre nîska û colbanan diçînin. It is lentil season now. Before, there was this place, we planted wheat, we planted it, first we planted wheat. Then we plant lentils and vetch.
Karkî baş e. It's good work.
Karê te ye... It's your work...
Tu tenê xwe dikî? Do you do it alone?
Tenê xwe dikim, ma buya her ro nabî, cot dikim e, halê min ev e. Am pê debarê dike. Am nîska diçîne colbana diçîne, ciha diçîne. I do it alone, what else, every day, I plow, this is my situation. We make a living with it. We plant lentils, we plant vetch, we plant barley.
Tu rojê çend saetan cot dikî? How many hours a day do you plow?
Teqrîben neh, heşt, şeş saetan ez dimînim erdê. Approximately nine, eight, six hours I stay in the field.
Tu sibê saet çendan ji mal derdikevî? What time do you leave home in the morning?
Sibê saet şeşa derdikevim ta duduya êvara de. I leave at six in the morning until two in the afternoon.

Wellehî îro xwarina min her zeyta qawirmeyê ye. By God, today my food is just roasted meat in oil.
Afiyet be ji te ra. Bon appetit to you.
Ehla û sehlan Welcome.
Apê Ehmad naha di gundê we de, di herêma Şêrewa de, mîsalê salê çend caran cot dajon? Uncle Ehmed, now in your village, in the Sherewa region, for example, how many times a year do you plow?
Mîsalê em salê carekê dajon. For example, we plow once a year.
E, de nav... tenê? In... only?
Ew dema paşê jî em zeytûnan cot dikin. Rezan cot dikin. Sêv diçînin. Ev karên me ne. Then later we also plow the olive trees. We plow the vineyards. We plant apples. These are our jobs.
Ê naha di gundê we de herî navdar di cot de kî bû di gund de? Wekî her gundekî dibêjin ev filan kes bû, filan kes bû. Ev kî bû navdar? Now, who was the most famous plower in your village? Like in every village they say it was so-and-so. Who was the famous one?
Navdar bû. Welleh bavê mamê Elî, jê re digotin Ebû Elî. Ew jî yekî da bû, Mihemedê Xelo bû, rehmetî bûne. Ewa herdu rehmetî bûne. He was famous. By God, uncle Ali's father, they called him Abu Ali. There was also another one, Mihemed Xelo, they have passed away. They both passed away.
Xwedê rehma xwe li wan bike. Ewa rehmetî bûne, u dora bavê min bû. Bavê min ew qas navê xwe neçû, digotin filan çûne.. sê xelef hebû, digotin filan dere cot. Yanî cotekî hêja yê wî hebû. May God have mercy on them. They passed away, and it was my father's turn. My father's name wasn't as widespread, they used to say so-and-so went... he had three successors, they used to say he was plowing. Meaning he had a valuable plow.
Û şivantiyê de gava kî bû? And who was the best at shepherding?
Şivantî ew jî ji me xalê Cimo bû, Cimo bû. Sebo bû, Seboyê Mihemedê Quşo bû, ev bû. Mehmûdê Hecî Mislo bû. In shepherding, that was uncle Cimo from us, it was Cimo. It was Sebo, it was Sebo of Mihemed Qusho, it was him. It was Mehmud of Haji Mislo.
Ewa şivanên destpêkê bûn. Û cotên cihê pez diçêrandin. They were the first shepherds. And they grazed the sheep in different places.
Karê te.. em wextê te nagirin.. carek din dest pê bike. Your work... we won't take up your time... start again.
Çix.. ts, Chikh... ts...
Apê Ehmed. Naha em dibêjin berê bi çêlekê we cot dikir.. Uncle Ehmed. Now we were saying before you used to plow with cows...
Çêlek gotin heram e. Jinên me yên mezin gotin guneh e. Gotin keran têxin cot. Em keran naha têxin cot. Deh sal in weha ye. They said cows are forbidden. Our older women said it's a sin. They said put donkeys in the plow. Now we've put donkeys in the plow. It's been ten years this way.
Feda, kîjan cotî ye? Ev dewara, lê ev traktor e? Feda, which type of plowing is it? With cattle or with a tractor?
Na ev dewar e. No, it's cattle.
E ka feydeyê wê ji me re bêje. Well, tell us about its advantages.
Feydeyê wê ni rind tê ajotin... rind tê ajotin. Traktor ciyê me nikane bajo... Its advantage is that it plows well... it plows well. A tractor can't plow our land...
Belê hemû zinar e, ne wisa? Yes, it's all rocky, isn't it?
Li cem me gişk zinar in, traktor nikane bajo. At our place it's all rocks, a tractor can't plow.
Paşî cotê dewêr başitir e. Ku kûr dibe, yan na... Then, plowing with cattle is better. As it goes deep...
Teqrîben bîst santîm, naha sî santîm dihere erdê. It goes approximately twenty centimeters, now thirty centimeters into the ground.
Yê herî başitir e. It is the best one.
Başitir e bala xwe bidiyê. Yê hewa pir dihere. Traktor teqrîben... bes... dixuşîne dihere. It's better, look at it. It goes very deep. A tractor just... scratches and goes.
Ev efşar hemû asîn in ne? Are these gears all made of iron?
Hingî asîn e. Berê, berê text bûn. Yes, they are iron. In the past, they were wood.
Berê text hebûn... In the past there were wooden ones...
Erê berê gişk text bûn, vêga gişk asîn in, text nema. Yes, in the past they were all wood, now they are all iron, there is no wood left.
Apê Ehmed, nan demê tu bi tenê kar dikî, tu stranan jê nabêjî? Uncle Ehmed, when you work alone, don't you sing?
Wa stran a, tenê xwe dim, gelek keyfî me stranekê jê dibêjim... Well, songs, when I stay by myself, when I'm in a good mood I sing a song...
Tu kîjan stranê dibêjî? Which song do you sing?
Tu kîjanî dixwazî, ya Memê Alan, ya Tozo dixwazî em tera baş bêjin du sê şorên jê bêjin... Whichever you want, of Memê Alan, or of Tozo, we can sing it well for you, we can sing two or three words of it...
Temam kêfa te ji kîjanî re tê, xatirê xwe re stranekê ji me re bêje. Alright, whichever you like, for your sake sing us a song.
Kêfa me jê re tê, tu me dîn nebêjî... We like it, just don't call us crazy...
Temam. Alright.

He said the girls and brides walked around the city of Maghreb, he said I don't know who a thousand and five hundred Kurdish youths are, they drag Mem to the forest... oh dear weyl weyl...
Her bijî sero, her bijî. Long live, chief, long live.
Nego Memê Alan a, digo min çima jê dikin minetan a, yan minetan babikê kal, babikê kal, ... herdû apan e... jê dikin minetan a, ... bila min helal kin emê ke... herdû piyana... He said Memê Alan, he said why are they begging me, begging the old father, the old father, ... both uncles... they are begging... let them forgive me, we will ... both feet...
