Her wiha, malbatên ku cihê xwe di vî gundî de digrin, da xuyakirin. Also, he pointed out the families that take their place in this village.

Vê derê dibêjin meydana Xalta. They call this place the square of Xalta.
Bi rastî çiqas şahiyên xwe çêdikin, li vir çêdikin. Truly whenever they have celebrations, they hold them here.

Em jî spasiya we dikin. Ji ber gundî jî hemî beşdarî bernameyê bûn. We thank you too. Since all the villagers participated in the program.
Bavê Ciwan, Alû ji ku... bapîrên we ji kûderê hatine vir? Bavê Ciwan, where did Alu... where did your grandfathers come from to here?
Li kûderê berê rûniştîbûn, pişt re hat li vir rûnişt? Where did they use to live before, and then came and settled here?
Alû bapîrê me ye. Alu is our grandfather.
Li wê derê em dibêjin Xirabê. At that place we call Xirabê.
Di mabeyna me û Miskê de, li wê derê rûniştîbû, xwedî pez bû. Between us and Miskê, he was settled there, he was a sheep owner.
Çend kîlometre navbera wê û vir e? How many kilometers is it between there and here?
Dûre kîlo û nîvek e. Hezar û pênc sed metre ye. It's about a kilometer and a half far. One thousand and five hundred meters.
Li wê derê xwedan pez e. Tê pezê xwe di werzê zivistanê çêra wî bû, He was a sheep owner there. He would come to graze his sheep in the winter season,
Hedar nîne, tenê darê berûyê nabin çendik. There was no settlement, just a few oak trees.
Tê pezê xwe li vir diçêrîne. He comes and grazes his sheep here.
Carekê ji... heywanek ji nav pezê wî vediqete, tê nêrî vedixwe, nêrî simêlê xwe hene. Once... an animal separates from his sheep, it comes and the ram drinks, the ram has a mustache.
Carê din... simêlê wî şil dibin. Another time... his mustache gets wet.
Muraqebe dikin, sehkiriye tê avê li vir dibîne. They observe it, he watched it and saw that it comes and finds water here.
Ji ber wê avê, ji Xirabê neqil bûn, hatin li vir cîhê minasîb dît, rûniştin. Because of that water, they moved from Xirabê, came and found a suitable place here, and settled.
Hem şikeft hene, hem jî av li vir heye, ji Xirabê neqil bûn hatin li vir rûniştin. Both caves are there, and water is here, they moved from Xirabê and came and settled here.
Yanî, hat li vir kanî hebû? Berê? So, he came and there was a spring here? Before?
Kanî jî hebû ah. Yes, there was a spring.
Bîr bû? Was it a well?
Bîr jî hebû kanî jî hebû. There was a well and there was a spring.
Dema ku hat pez diçêrandin, zanî av li vir heye? When he came grazing the sheep, did he know there was water here?
Ah, bi rêka pez e pey avê ketin ku av li vir heye, ji Xirabê neqil bû hatin vî derî gundê xwe şên kir. Yes, through the sheep they followed the water and found water is here, he moved from Xirabê and came here to populate his village.
Û şikeft jî li vir hene, minasib e ji rûniştinê re. Cihê pez re. And there are caves here too, it's suitable for living. For the sheep's place.
Ev çend şikeft bi dîtina te li vir hene? How many caves do you think are here?
Belkî bîst şikeft, û sî şikeft zêdetir di nav gund de heye. Maybe twenty caves, or more than thirty caves are inside the village.
Naha gundê we hemî malbatek in, yan kî ne? Now, is your village all one family, or who are they?
Gundê me bi piranî malbatek e, ew bapîrê me ewe dibêjin Alû. Our village is mostly one family, that one who is our grandfather they call Alu.
Çar lawên wî hene. He has four sons.
Sê li vî gundî ne. Ku gund şên dibe, Three are in this village. As the village becomes populated,
yek diçe dibêjin her Xirabê şên bike. one goes to what they say, go populate Xirabê.
Wextê dar û xirabî çêdike, naha navê wê jî Misk e. Ew jî ji vî gundî ne. When he builds it amidst trees and ruins, now its name is Misk. They are also from this village.
Ev gundê Miskê her du jî ji vî gundî ne? Are both these Misk villages from this village?
Her du jî ji vî gundî ne. Navê van sê gunda li vir em xwişk û birayên hev in, Xalta û Miskê Jêrîn û Miskê Jorîn. Both are from this village. These three villages here we are brothers and sisters, Xalta and Lower Misk and Upper Misk.
Sê gund in. They are three villages.
Û kesên din tevlî we bûne li vir? And did any other people join you here?
Çima na, ba'dî şerê alemiyê yekem, Why not, after the first world war,
biraderên me ne... kesên feqîr û xizan derketin e... they are our brothers... poor and destitute people emerged...
Malên Hemo dibêjin, malên Ekoşa dibêjin, malê Hemî we dibêjin, The Hemo family they say, the Ekosha family they say, the Hemi family they say,
malê Hesen Çengik wer dibêjin... the Hasan Chengik family they say...
wan weha jî... ji bakur da hatin e bi me re rûniştine. Yanî di heyştê salan de, belkî zêdetir heye. them too... came from the north and settled with us. Meaning it's been eighty years, maybe more.
Hemî malbatek in? Are they all one family?
Gund gişk malbatek e û tu ferqek nîn e mabêna me û wan û em gişk ji hev hez dikin û em bi yek in. The entire village is one family and there is no difference between us and them, and we all love each other and we are united.
Loma wisa bû, em gişk jin dane hev, me ji wan biriye. Because it became like that, we all gave women to each other, we took from them.
Yanî bûye mervantî zêdetir. Meaning the kinship became stronger.
Lê pêşî navê wê... Alû bû we gotî. But at first its name was... Alu, you said.
Pêşî ew navê wî ah. At first that was its name, yes.
Pişt re we çima navê Xalta li gundê xwe kir? Then why did you name your village Xalta?
Bapîrê me, wek ez çawa bêjim... Xalta êla me ye, dîroka me vedigere xanedana Xalta, li ser Xalta me nav lê kiriye. Our grandfather, how should I put it... Xalta is our tribe, our history goes back to the Xalta dynasty, we named it after Xalta.
Xalta e, êleka di Kurdistanê de ye, li Serhedê bi taybetî li herêma Serhedê ne. Xalta is a tribe in Kurdistan, they are in Serhed, particularly in the Serhed region.
Her wekî ku ez dizanim, herêma Mûşê... As far as I know, the Mush region...
Mêrdînê jî hene... Erziromê jî hene. They are in Mardin too... They are in Erzurum too.
Mêrdîn, Erzirom, bi rastî Kurdên kurmancî diaxivîn ev êla, heta ku we çûn li wirê bi cîh bûn, an hûn ji wir hatin di vir de rûniştin wekî xwe bi kûda nas dikin hûn? Mardin, Erzurum, truly this tribe spoke Kurmanji Kurdish. Up to when you went and settled there, or did you come from there and settle here, how do you trace yourselves back?
Ê em gundên me ji alî Mêrdînê ve nêt hatine... Well, our villages eventually came from the direction of Mardin...
ew qafleya ku hatiye Çiyayê Kurmênc di wê demê de, em jî bi wê nêtê pê re hatine Çiyayê Kurmênc. that convoy that came to Kurmanc Mountain at that time, we also came along with them to Kurmanc Mountain.
Ê ev wek dîrokekî tu dikarî bi ziman bikî, çend sal e ev der... şên bûye ev devera? Well, historically speaking, can you say how many years this place... has been populated, this region?
Di hezar û... na du sed û pêncî... yanî kêm zêde, In one thousand and... no two hundred and fifty... meaning more or less,
dibe pênc sed e û pê da dibe. it might be five hundred or more.
Belkî pênc sed sal an ji wê zêdetir be li vir hatî şên kirin gundê te? Perhaps five hundred years or more that your village has been populated here?
Tamam e. Exactly.
Naha berî ev gund e, dused û pêncî sal e çêbû ye, Now, before this village was built two hundred and fifty years ago,
Welle zêdetir dibe belkî yanî sê sedî wê jî derbas bike. Well, it could be more, maybe it even passes three hundred.
Na berî dused û pêncî an sê sed sal, ev gundê ku ava bû ye, So before two hundred and fifty or three hundred years ago when this village was built,
Berî wî, xelkekî din li vir jîyan dikirin? Before that, did other people live here?
Wekî Îskenderê Mekdonî li vir, hinek tiştên weha derbas bûn li van deran? Like Alexander the Macedonian here, did some things like that pass through these areas?
Li vî derê, asar derdikeve, ê Yewnan derdikeve, Fînîqî derdikeve, Rûmanî derdikeve, Aşûrî derdikeve. Here, artifacts emerge, Greek emerge, Phoenician emerge, Roman emerge, Assyrian emerge.
Bes a dîroka me û Kurdan, esas erdê Kurdistanê dewletê împaratoriya Med û Mîdiyan bûye, berî van gîşkî ha bûye. But our history and the Kurds, essentially the land of Kurdistan was the state of the Mede and Median empire, it was like that before all of them.
Wextê şer di mabeyna Mîdiyan û Aşûriyan de çêbûye, When the war occurred between the Medes and the Assyrians,
ku împaratoriya Mîdiyan dişkê, Kurd tim xwe dikişînin deverê çiya. as the Median empire is defeated, Kurds always pull back to the mountain regions.
Ji ber ku Kurd, tim xwe li çiya girtine. Because the Kurds, have always held onto the mountains.
Tim li çiyan in. Always in the mountains.
Cihê xwe dikirin di nav şikeftan de xwe diparastin, wisa. They made their places in caves and protected themselves, like that.
Xwe diparêzin yanî. Dema êrîş tê li ser Kurdan jî tim xwe di çiya de diparêzin. Meaning they protect themselves. When an attack comes upon Kurds, they always protect themselves in the mountains.
Xwe diparêzin. Û heta naha jî. They protect themselves. And even now too.
Û heta naha jî. And even now too.
Naha gundê we taybet, di zivistanê an biharê de, hûn debara we bi çi dibe? Bi çi dikin? Now your village specifically, in the winter or spring, what is your livelihood? What do you do?
Debara me, milkê me heye... milkê gundî çiya ye... hîç e yanî... Our livelihood, we have properties... the property of the villager is the mountain... it's nothing, meaning...
Helbet, derdora gundî we, hemî çiya ne. Çiqas gundekî xweş e jî bi rastî... yanî em dinêrin, derdora gund hemî çiya ye, li orta we da gelî ye. Pir xweş e. Of course, all around your village are mountains. How beautiful the village is truly... I mean we look, around the village is all mountains, and in the middle of it is a valley. It's very beautiful.
Xêrata wê hindik e, yanî em pê debar nabin. Its agricultural yield is little, meaning we can't sustain ourselves on it.
Ma gund bi tijaretê me'rûf e. But the village is famous for trade.
Bi tijariya xwe... tijareta zeytê ye... qebzê zeytûna ye, With its commerce... it's the oil trade... buying of olives,
li ser mîstewê yanî Efrînê, temamê gundê Xalta me'rûf e. on the level of Afrin, the entire village of Xalta is famous for it.
Mînak, em bêjin hûn çi karî dikin niha? For instance, let's say what work do you do now?
Tijareta zeytê dikin niha. Heta di nav navçeya Cindirêsê... bazara Cindirêsê, We do the oil trade now. Even inside the district of Jindires... the Jindires market,
belkî dozdeh dikanên bazêrtiyê hene, yên vî gundî ne. there are maybe twelve commercial shops, they belong to this village.
Û li ser yanî bazara Cindirêsê, ez kanim bêjim jê quwettir in. And regarding the Jindires market, I can say they are the strongest in it.
Û ji bilî vê, çi heye? Darên çi hene? And besides this, what is there? What trees are there?
Ê li cihê me... kîjan darê te daxwaz heye... Well in our place... whichever tree you desire is here...
bes hetanî sêv di vir dibe, purteqal dibe, behîv dibe, so much so that apples grow here, oranges grow, almonds grow,
heta darê mûzê tune bû, darê mûzê naha teze çandine, ew jî dibe. even banana trees weren't here, now they just planted banana trees, and they grow too.
Û dema ku bihara wê were, And when its spring comes,
çawa ku dîroka me wisa dibêje: "Rojhilata Navîn, cineta dinê ye." just as our history says: "The Middle East is the paradise of the world."
Kurdistan jî dilê Rojhilata Navîn e. And Kurdistan is the heart of the Middle East.
Yanî di heqîqetê de, dilê Rojhilata Navîn e. Meaning in reality, it is the heart of the Middle East.
Niha tu di mehê biharê werî vî derî, Now if you come to this place in the spring month,
Harek ev wîneyê kê ye kî li vir dîtin, navê wî wê çî ye? you will never... you won't take your eyes off the view.
Harek ev wîneyê kê ye kî li vir dîtin, navê wî wê çî ye? What picture is this, who found it here, what is his name?
Di rûpelên dîroka Kurdî, Mihemed Emîn Zekî û hin çavkaniyên herêmî anîne ziman ku mîrnişînek piştî serdema Kûtiyan, In the pages of Kurdish history, Mihemed Emîn Zekî and some local sources stated that a principality after the Gutian era,
anku digihêje deh hezar sal berî zayînê, which dates back ten thousand years before Christ,
li van deveran bi navê Xaltiyan hatiye avakirin. was established in these areas under the name of the Khaltians.
Alav û amûrên ku li bin erdê vê herêmê hatine dîtin, The tools and equipment found underground in this region,
mîna kûp, destar, mûm û her wekî din, such as jars, hand mills, wax, and so on,
nîşaneya ku vê yekê d'aşkere. are the signs that reveal this fact.
Temaşevanên hêja, em derbasî serê çiyayekî bûn. Dear viewers, we have reached the top of a mountain.
Di demêkê da Îskenderê Mekedonî derbasî vir bûye. At a time, Alexander the Great passed here.
Cihê herî bilind di gund da. The highest place in the village.
Dema ku em hatin ser çiyayê Kurmênc, vê derê navê wî Bîran e. When we came to Mount Kurmenc, this place is named Bîran.
Cihekî pir bilind e û em 500 metroyî ji gund dûr ketin. Em niha li ser çiyayekî ne. It is a very high place and we went 500 meters away from the village. We are now on a mountain.
Apê Hacî dibêje ku rojekê em hatin vir... Apê Hacî says that one day we came here...
xwest xaniyekî ji xwe re çêke, he wanted to build a house for himself,
lê wîneyekî jê re derket. but a picture appeared for him.
De ka em bi Apê Hacî bi xwe re biaxivin. Let's talk to Apê Hacî himself.
Apê Hacî, merheba. Apê Hacî, hello.
Merheba ji te re, xêr hatî ser çavan. Hello to you, welcome.
Apê Hacî di dema ku te li vir kolan kir ji bo tu xaniyekî çêkî, çi bi te re derket? Apê Hacî, when you were digging here to build a house, what did you come across?
Welleh tenê sûret derketin. By God, only pictures appeared.
Sê sûret derketin. Three pictures appeared.
Çima te hat li vir kola? Why did you come and dig here?
Min got ez ê kevir ji xwe re bigirim û xaniyekî lê vegirim. I thought I would gather some stones and build a house here.
Apê min go 'na wel cem me bigir'. Min go 'na wê ez li cihê xwe lê bigirim'. Paşê min dest bi çêkirinê kir û ev dîtin. My uncle said 'no, build it by us'. I said 'no, I will build it by my own place'. Then I started digging and found these.
Ê vir, derxistina wan zehmet nebû? And wasn't it difficult to dig them out?
Na, na, zehmetî tunebû. Me ax dikişand. No, no, it wasn't difficult. We were just moving dirt.
Min wekî karkerekî dixebitî, min nizanibû kar çi ye. I was working like a laborer, I didn't know what it was.
Te xaniyekî xwe çêdikira û te dikola? You were building your house and you were digging?
Erê, erê. Yes, yes.
Û te dît ev derketin? And you found these?
Na, na tiştek din tunebû. No, no, there was nothing else.
Sê sûret derketin... Three pictures appeared...

Di kîjan salê da bû? In what year was it?
Nêzîkî salên 60 û 50'yî... Around the year 60 and 50...
Berî 65 salan? 65 years ago?
Nêzîkî wê, belê, ev nêzîkî 60-65 sal berê. Close to that, yes, about 60-65 years ago.
Yek bi navê Seîfo hebû, There was a man named Seîfo,
li Efrînê bihîstibû. he had heard about it in Afrin.
Hat dît wekî asar e. Cihê xwe agahdar kirin ku sûret hene. He came and saw it was an artifact. They informed the authorities that there are pictures here.
Xeber dan yekî bi navê Mehmûd Tirmizî, serokê muzexaneyê bû. They informed a man named Mehmûd Tirmizî, who was the head of the museum.
Hat dîtin, paşê destûr nedan ku li vir bimînin. It was seen, and then they did not allow them to stay here.
Sûret şkandin, ew kevir perçe perçe kirin, They broke the pictures, they shattered those stones into pieces,
paşê xistin hundir, then they put them down,
û kirin mekîneyê de û birin Helebê. and loaded them into a machine and took them to Aleppo.
Mezin bûn? Were they big?
Dirêjiya wan nêzîkî metrekî bûn. Their length was around a meter.
Qama wan navîn bû, gorê di lingan de bûn, çavên wan xuya bûn. Their height was average, there were socks on their legs, their eyes were visible.
Xelqên destan bi wan ve bûn... There were rings on their hands...
Weke mînak, jinek bi cilên xwe yên kurdî, xelqek di destê wê de bû û gerdaniyek di stûyê xwe de bû. For example, a woman was in her Kurdish clothes, holding a ring in her hand and a necklace around her neck.
Sûretê wan, çavê wan, birhiyên wan, giş temam bûn. Sûret rût e. Their face, their eyes, their eyebrows, were all complete. The picture was clear.

Teqrîben 60-70 santîm bûn, ne gihîşti bû metrekî. They were approximately 60-70 centimeters, not quite a meter.
Rengê wan çawa bû? What was their color?
Rengê kevirê reş bû, reş. Hinek valahî hebûn. The color of the stone was black. There were some empty spots.
Te zanî kî bûn dema te dîtin? Did you know who they were when you saw them?
Welleh ez nizanim, mirov nizane ev kê ne. By God I don't know, one couldn't know who they were.
Nivis tunebûn we xwendibû da bizanin kê ne? Were there no writings that you could read to know who they were?
Na, tenê rû bûn, tu xwendin tunebû, tarîxa wan tunebû. No, they were just faces, there was no writing, no dates.

Spas ji bo te, Apê Hacî. Thank you, Apê Hacî.
Spas xweş. You are welcome.
Ji ber erdnîgariya çiyayî, niştecihên vê deverê neçar dimînin Due to the mountainous geography, the inhabitants of this area are forced to
ku salê carekê an du caran, bi dewarên qebe, rûyê van sirt û baniyan şit dikin. plow the surface of these ridges and flatlands once or twice a year with heavy draft animals.
Lê pirî caran lêhî û lêmişk, But often times, floods and streams
qed û axa wan dikişîne, wash away their soil and earth,
û di deşt û coman de bi cih dike. and place them in the plains and valleys.
Bi vî awayî ezman wisa dixwaze. That is the will of the sky.
Di sala 1960'î de, li van deveran hişkesalî rû da. In 1960, a drought occurred in these regions.
Hemû bîr û kaniyên avê hatin miçiqandin. All the wells and springs of water dried up.
Bîreke xalta ya kevnare li hember heşkesaliyê berxwe da, An ancient Khaltian well resisted the drought,
û ziwa nebû. and did not dry up.
Li qada gund de, her tim In the village square, it always
camêriya xwe bi ser gundiyan de barandiye. showered its generosity upon the villagers.
Ne tenê yên gund... Not just the villagers,
lê gundiyên derdorê jî û ajelên wan, but it satisfied the surrounding villagers and their animals
bi ava xwe têr kiriye. with its water.
Herhal, bi dewlemendiya avê re, pir pez û heywanên wan ji mirinê rizgar kiriye. Anyway, with the buckets of water, many stories were told.
Ta naha jî, ji me re dîtina cihê nebûye... her tim... Even now, it remains a vital place to visit.
ev jî rûnîgariya Xaltiya ne l'wanda. This is also a sign of the Khaltian settlement in these areas.
Temaşevanên hêja, niha em derbasî nav gund bûn. Dear viewers, now we have passed into the village.
Li vir jî bîrek heye. There is a well here too.
Bîreke pir kevn e. It is a very old well.
Niha dayikek li vir e, ew jî wê ji me re şîrove bike. There is a mother here now, she will also explain it to us.
Merheba dayê. Hello mother.
Ehlen we sehlen. Welcome.
Çawa yî baş î, siheta te? How are you, are you well, how is your health?
Elhemdulelah xwedê rehma xwe li we bike. Hûn çawa ne? Hûn baş in? Thank God, may God have mercy on you. How are you? Are you well?
Spas ji bo te dayê. Tu dikarî ji me re behsa vê bîrê bikî? Thank you mother. Can you tell us about this well?
Weleh ev bîra me, bîra gund e, bîra berê ye. By God, this is our well, the village's well, an ancient well.
Di wê salê de ku av li gund çikiya, me av ji vir dikişand û me dida heywanan. In the year that the water in the village dried up, we drew water from here and gave it to the animals.
Em dibêjin pir kevn e? We say it's very old?
Ji mêj ve. From a long time ago.
Berî kîjan salê... berî we? Before what year... before you?
Berî gundiyan. Before the villagers.
Bîra kî ye? Whose well is it?
Ya hemû gundiyan. Ya berê bû, qey ya filehan bû. Everyone in the village's. It's from the past, probably it was the Christians'.
Me av ji vir dikişand û me dida heywanan, me dida pez... û malên xwe lê dişuşt... We drew water from here and gave it to the animals, gave it to the sheep... and washed our homes with it...
Me cilikên xwe jî li derê dişuştin, We also washed our clothes there,
me av dikişand... we drew water...
Şikeft li kû ye? Where is the cave?
Şikeft li wê derê, li wê derê ye. The cave is over there, it is over there.
Navê şikeftê çi ye? What is the name of the cave?
Digotinê Şikefta Kincan. They called it the Clothes Cave.
We kincên xwe lê dişuştin? Did you wash your clothes there?
Erê, me kincên xwe lê dişuştin. Yes, we washed our clothes there.
Niha hîn ew şikeft heye, yan xetimî ye? Is that cave still there now, or is it blocked?
Welleh heriyê girtiye û maye di bin heriyê de, ax ketiye nav. By God, the mud has caught it and it's left under the mud, dirt fell inside.
Qatî maye. It remains covered.
Bîreke mezin bû? We didît dihatin keçek, jinek, hemû dihatin ji vir av dikişandin. Was it a big well? You saw a girl, a woman coming, all of them coming and drawing water from here.
Me dihat, me av ji vir dibir, kinc lê dişuştin. Ewqas jin li ser hev diciviyan. We came, we took water from here, washed clothes there. So many women gathered around it.
Çend kes, dema av dikişandin... Several people, when they drew water...
Jinek diçû serê wê, yên din diçûn serê wê din. One woman went to its head, the others went to its other head.
Gelek caran av tine bû, lê dema kaniyên wan diçikiyan, qet av nedihiştin... Many times there was no water, but when their springs dried up, they didn't leave any water...
Gelek kesan av ji vir dikişandin. Many people drew water from here.
Bîra we jinan ji berê gelekî tevdigeriya? Your women's well was very active in the past?
Ehwey. Yes.
Jiyana berê xweştir bû yan ya niha xweştir e? Was life in the past better or is life now better?
Ya berê xweştir bû. The past was better.
Çima ya berê xweştir bû? Why was the past better?
Berê xweş bû, tişt hemû hebûn, malek weke yekê bû. Her kes li gel hev bûn. Weke niha pere û nakokî tunebûn... The past was good, everything was there, a home was like one. Everyone was together. Like now, there was no money and conflict...
Em têr bûn, em birçî nebûn. We were full, we were not hungry.
Me zozanên xwe dikişand, me bi destan dişuştin, em diçûn, me av dikêşa, me cilên xwe li wir didan hev. We gathered our things, we washed by hand, we went, we drew water, we put our clothes together there.
Weke niha tişt nebû. Weke vê çerxê nedîtibû... There was nothing like now. We hadn't seen this kind of spinning wheel...
Hûn bi kîjan alî ve zêdetir diçin? Which way do you go more?
Em wê çaxê baş bûn. Ew dem derbas bûn, em niha nebûn! Em niha kal bûn, em bi nexweşî ne. We were good back then. Those times passed, we didn't become like now! We have grown old now, we are sick.
Ev qey her tişt çû, naha ne tiştek e. It seems like everything is gone, now it's nothing.
Spas ji te re... siheta te xweş. Thank you... bless your health.
Xwedê ji te jî razî be, ser çavan, ehlen we sehlen. May God be pleased with you too, you are welcome, welcome.

Destê we sax bin. Bless your hands.

Destê we sax bin. Bless your hands.
Sax bî, sax bî. Bless you, bless you.
Tê çi daxwazî bibêjî? What request would you like to say?
Qenata Ronahiyê re em dixwazin em gotina xwe bibêjin. We want to say our words to the Ronahî Channel.
Em... mesela şîîrekî xwe bibêjim. Like... let me say a poem of mine.
Kerem ke, bêje. Go ahead, say it.
Dayê te lûrandî, dayê te lûrandî. Mother you sang a lullaby, mother you sang a lullaby.
Dayê te kurê xwe hejandî. Mother you rocked your son.
Dayê te kurê xwe ji bo azadiyê gihandî. Mother you raised your son for freedom.
Dayê her du dijmina kurê te girtî. Mother, both enemies caught your son.
Ji bo çi? Ji bo welatekî serfiraz. For what? For a free country.
Dayê ti jî da kevir û erdê Kurdistanê heqê xwe bixwaz. Mother, you also strike the stone and earth of Kurdistan to demand your rights.
Dayê heft çiyayê gelan e, heft da mij û tofan e. Mother, the seven mountains of the people, the seven mists and storms.
Pê da venedin, xwediyê dê tirkan e. Don't let them pass, their masters are the Turks.
Xwîna şehîda herikî bi geliyan e. The blood of martyrs flowed in the valleys.
Xwîna şehîda ne tê şûştin, ne bi berf û ne bi baran e. The blood of martyrs cannot be washed away, neither by snow nor by rain.
Heta ala rengîn netê serî çiyan e. Until the colorful flag is not raised on the peaks.
Her bijî, destê te sax bin. Long live, bless your hands.
Ev kê bû ev helbesta? Bless you.
Ev kê bû ev helbesta? Whose poem was this?
Ev helbesta e kulfeteke min bû. This poem was a relative of mine's.
Ewê jî noka... ya ne zekrîne, ji bîr kirî. She is now... she doesn't remember, she forgot it.
Ez ji wê mî rakir, û ez jî noka dibêjim ji bo we re. I picked it up from her, and now I am saying it for you.
Te çi mekteb xwendiye? What school did you study at?
Na, ne çûme dibistanê. No, I didn't go to school.
Na, ez ummî me. You didn't go to school?
Na, ez ummî me. No, I am illiterate.
Na nexwendiye, na, hema min ji xwe, ji aqlê xwe rakirî. You haven't studied?
Na nexwendiye, na, hema min ji xwe, ji aqlê xwe rakirî. No, I haven't studied, no, I just memorized it myself, from my mind.
Û heta noka bi kêmî teqrîben bîst sal hene ev gotina di cem min heye. And until now, for at least roughly twenty years, I have had these words with me.
Saheta we xweş, her bijî, destê te sax bin. Bless you, long live, bless your hands.
Sax bî, û qenata Ronahiyê gî sax bin. Bless you, and may the entire Ronahî channel be blessed.
Û hevalên me geştî serî çiya, û YPG û YPJ, û silavên me ji giya re hene. Û spas bo we re. And all our comrades on the mountain peaks, and YPG and YPJ, and we have greetings for everyone. And thank you to you.
Her bijî, destê we sax bin. Long live, bless your hands.
Landikan dihêjînin, hevalok û bazuyan di guhê hezaran qîz û xortan de vedibêjin. They rock cradles, they recount lullabies and heroic tales in the ears of thousands of boys and girls.
Her hal ev jî peyameke watedar e, In any case, this is also a meaningful message,
A ku hiştiye hunera Kurdan a devkî dewlemend bimîne. Which has allowed the oral art of Kurds to remain rich.
Jina Kurd, dîmena dayîkeke salarî, di vê rûniştgehê de xwe dide pêş û dilê mirovan jî hênik dike. The Kurdish woman, the image of a matriarchal mother, brings herself forward in this setting and also soothes the hearts of people.
Sekna jina Kurd a li hember dijwariyên jiyanê, giring e. The stance of the Kurdish woman against the hardships of life is important.
Keda wê jî ji bo mirovahiyê gelek e. Her labor for humanity is also significant.
Dîmenek bal mirov dikişîne, mirov divê bibêje ko mirovahî û cewherê wê ji jina fedekar dest pê kiriye. A scene attracts one's attention, one must say that humanity and its essence started from the self-sacrificing woman.
Ev dîmen jî vê yekê dibêje. This scene also says this.
Merheba. Hello, mother.
Merheba. Hello.
Tu çi dikî? What are you doing?
Em îşte... me dî... em dihewinin, em çi qas me da hewandine... We just... we saw... we gather, whatever we have gathered...
Çi bi dilê we qenc e, em wê çêdikin. Whatever is pleasing to your heart, we make that.
Tu vî darî ji kî derê tînî? Where do you bring this wood from?
Em re tînin ji devê rû yê. We bring it from the riverside.
Umrê te çend sal e maşallah, xwedê sihetê xweş bide te. How many years old are you, mashallah, may God give you good health.
Xwedê ji te razî be, qet te neke di belê de. May God be pleased with you, may He never put you in trouble.
Tu bi tenê devê mirîşkan çêdikî? Do you only make chicken troughs?
Erê. Yes.
Ji ber devê mirîşkan de hewînî? Do you gather for the chicken troughs?
Erê. Yes.
Ka ji me re bêje. Tell us about it.
Em de hewînin, çêlikan veda kin, mezin dibin hekan dekin, îşte wisa. We gather it, they incubate chicks, they grow and lay eggs, just like that.
Dê bêjin gundiyên derdor, mirîşkan dihêwînin, ji wan devên mîrişkan te çêdikî? They say the surrounding villagers raise chickens, do you make these chicken troughs for them?
Em yekê ji wan re... erê em ji wan re jî dikin... wisa firotin yan tiştek e wisa em ji wan re jî dikin. We make one for them... yes we make it for them too... so selling or something like that, we make it for them too.
Saheta te xweş be. Bless your health.
Ya te jî xweş, xwedê pêkê we gêr bike. Xwedê te nehêle. Spasdar im. Yours too, may God fulfill your wishes. May God protect you. I am thankful.
Ji hemêza sirişta bedew, karbîniya xwe wergirtiye. She has taken her craftsmanship from the embrace of beautiful nature.
Heke ji bo roziyê xwest, bi destkariyê xwe bidê hes kirin, xêzkirin û resimkirina xwe ji bo afirandinê dest pê kiriye. If she wanted to be appreciated for her livelihood with her handiwork, she started her drawing and painting for creation.
Ev nexş û nîşaneya di vir de, razek e di dilê wênesaz de dimîne. These patterns and signs here, remain a secret in the painter's heart.
Liser dîsan, hekara bedewa gund li meraq kiriye. On the designs, the beautiful influence of the village is wondered upon.
Merheba ji te re. Hello to you.

Xwest ji kurê xwe re dawetekê li dar xîne. She wanted to hold a wedding for her son.
Lê bi çêjeke cuda û ji xweşiyên bajaran cûda. But with a different flavor and different from the pleasures of the cities.
Kevnşopiya wan, ew dîsa anîn cem hev. Their tradition, brought them together again.
Her hal di hişê wê de hesretek maye û bîriya dawetên berê kiriye. In any case, a longing remained in her mind and she missed the weddings of the past.
Dawetên ku bi biratî, heval û dost li qada gundan dihatin lidarxistin. Weddings that were held with brotherhood, friends and companions in the village squares.
Ji nû ve, pîr û ciwanan xeleka dîlanê dest pê kiriye. Anew, the young and old started the circle of dance.
Dengê daholê jî, gihîşte ciwanên ku li dor dîlanê, xwe dihejînin. The sound of the drum also reached the youth who are swaying around the dance.
Dibe ku, ew xweşî û şahî, me jî bibe nav wê lîstikê. It may be that this pleasure and celebration will take us into that play too.
Temaşevanên hêja, di gundê Xalda da jî şahiyek heye, dawetek heye. Dear viewers, there is also a celebration, a wedding in the village of Xalda.
Naha em derbasî şahiyê bibin, bi vî zêvelkê li rex min e. Merheba ji te re. Now let's go into the celebration, with this young man next to me. Hello to you.
Merheba, ehlen we sehlen. Hello, welcome.
Destpêkê em pîroz dikin. First of all, congratulations.
Ehlen we sehlen û silamet. Welcome and peace be upon you.
Ji adet û teqalîdên dema me ye, berê me sê roj çar roj dawet dikirin. Naha em rojekê dikin. From the traditions and customs of our time, in the past we used to have weddings for three or four days. Now we do it for one day.
Yanî şahiya we berê sê çar roj, pênc roj berxwedan? So your celebrations in the past lasted three, four, five days?
Sê roj, çar roj, heta hefteyek berxwedan. Bes naha hawa nema, naha em teqrîben rojekê xilas dikin, yanî. Three days, four days, even up to a week. But now the climate is not like that, now we basically finish in one day.
Yanî rojekê da dawet diqedin, xilas dibe? So the wedding is done and finished in one day?
Erê, hemû diqedin xilas dibin. Yes, it's all done and finished.
Ê naha, berê we dawet çawa dikir, naha çawa ye? And now, how did you use to do weddings, and how is it now?
Berê bi qeşmer bûn, xwe qîzik çêdikirin, qeşmera direvan, mesxere dikirin. Naha înşellah hun ê bibînin dîsa me çêkiriye. In the past there were jesters, they dressed up as girls, the jesters ran away, they made jokes. Now hopefully you will see we have done it again.
Bi def û zirne bû? Was it with drums and zurna?
Dawet def û zirne bû, erê. Ku ew gavna cîhaz mîhaz nîn bûn em wî çaxî, def û zirne tenê bû. The wedding was drums and zurna, yes. Back then there were no sound systems and stuff, it was only drums and zurna.
Naha jî hun dawet zirne heye? Ê jî hunermend hene. And now do you have a wedding with zurna? There are artists.
Naha jî ew hunermend hene, cîhaz hene... Û naha qeşmer ew ê werin, em ê ji xwe ra temaşe bikin û înşellah em vî adet û qelîta berê tînin. Now also there are artists, sound systems... And now the jesters will come, we will watch them and hopefully we are bringing back these traditions and customs of the past.
Bes hîna, heya naha ev urf û adet hîna li vir mane. Hîna ranebûne. But still, until now, these customs and traditions have remained here. They haven't disappeared yet.
Hene, hene heta naha hîna cem me heye ew... They exist, they exist, even now they still exist among us...
Qeşmer hîna hene na? There are still jesters, right?
Hene... cem me we hene... There are... we have them...
Sipas dikim, sipas ji te ra... Thank you, thank you...
Silav... Greetings...
Qada gund ji welatiyên gund ra penagek e bîranînên germ e. The village square is a haven of warm memories for the villagers.
Pêşîyên gundê ciwan, li vir çêker û şopên çanda kurdan a dewlemend li pey xwe hiştine. The ancestors of the young village have left behind the creators and traces of the rich Kurdish culture here.
Xortên ku ji nû ve adet û gerdişên kurdan têve jandin. The youth who are reviving the Kurdish traditions and customs.
Şanoya qeşmer yek ji wan edetên şahîyên berê ye. The jester theater is one of the traditions of the old celebrations.
Di vê hunerbaziya da, peyam têne vegotin. In this performance, messages are conveyed.
Ku çawa desthilatdariya axatiyê li hember vîn û hezkirina gundîyan têk dişkestin. How the authority of the aghas was defeated against the will and love of the villagers.
Vaye dîmen dibe peyv û kelepora kurdan bi riya lîstikvanan tê eşkerekirin. Here the scenes become words and Kurdish folklore is revealed through the actors.
Dîmenên ku jiyana xweza li ber çavên mirov radixe û çanda kurdan jî di dinyaya nû da dibêje şaxalta dengê xwe careke din vedide. Scenes that lay out the natural life before people's eyes and say that Kurdish culture is echoing its voice once again in the modern world.
Temaşevanên hêja, naha jî grûba qeşmeran jî hat, naha hun ê çi bikin? Dear viewers, now the jester group has also arrived, what are you going to do now?
Naha em ê derkevin, em naha, em ê derkevin sahê li dawetê, li govend û li dîlanê. Now we will go out, we now, we will go out to the square at the wedding, at the dance and at the celebration.
Em ê şanoya kurdî, qeşmer, turasiyê kevin ji deh hezar sal da em ê biqedmînin. We will perform Kurdish theater, jesters, our ancient heritage from ten thousand years ago.
Û înşallah em namirin û em ê bimînin. Em ê bimînin di xêr û xweşiyî da. And hopefully we will not die out and we will remain. We will remain in goodness and happiness.
Tev qenatê Ronahîyê, bi xêr û xweşî hatine... Together with Ronahi TV, welcome in goodness and happiness...
Sipas te... de kerem ke... Thank you... please go ahead...
Li berê, dawetên berê. In the past, the weddings of the past.
Kalikên me ji me ra hawa digotin. Ê naha bav û kalên me ne dîn, wekî dîn bû ji me zêdetir e ew tiştên ha sêr. Our grandfathers used to tell us like this. Now our ancestors were not crazy, if they were crazy they were more than us to watch these things.
Berê bi dawetên... daweta dawetek şeş roj a, heft roj a, pênc roj a dikirin. In the past with weddings... they would do a wedding for six days, seven days, five days.
Rûyê wê wek tûnekî derbas dikirin. Rûyê wê wek silav wek baranê bera didan evda. They would pass her face like a tunnel. They would pour greetings on her face like rain on people.
Ew digot herin sêr kin kî berx e, kî baran e. They used to say go and watch who is a lamb, who is rain.
Şorê berx û baran ji wê da tê. Ji deh hezar sal da tê. Ne îro û duh çêbûye. The story of the lamb and rain comes from there. It comes from ten thousand years ago. It didn't happen today or yesterday.
Em ê naha ji we ra belê bikin, wek barana berdin evda. Ê hunê ji xwe ra lê seyr kin ka çawa dibin. We will show you now, we will pour it like rain on people. And you will watch for yourselves how it happens.
Ê me bûkek derbas kir naha... Ê derketin, e di çavan ra didin evdê. We passed a bride now... They came out, to show their face to the people.
Vê ra digotin çavhûk. Yanî bûk e. They used to call this peekaboo. I mean it's a bride.
Meselê bûk e, ew ê digot "serê xwe raçêke, tu di vir da ma". For example it's a bride, they used to say "lift your head, you stayed here".
Temam. Kerem ke. Naha em ê, e rû bidin evdê, biço... Alright. Please go ahead. Now we will, uh, make them face the people, go...
Amadekaran kerem ke biço, de biço, rû bidin evdê. Preparers, please go ahead, go, show your face to the people.
Temaşevanên hêja, li vir em xatirê xwe ji we dixwazin. Dear viewers, here we bid you farewell.
Em bi hêvî ne we wextek xweş bi me ra derbas kir. We hope you spent a pleasant time with us.
Ku heta bernameyeke din, li gundekî din em ê dîsa bi hev ra bin. Until another program, in another village, we will be together again.
