Awaz, ji min re eşq û dil! Belê temaşevanên hêja, vê hefteyê jî me berê xwe da gundekî, gundê Ma'mela. Awaz, give me love and passion! Yes, dear viewers, this week we have also turned our faces towards a village, the village of Ma'mila.
Ev gundê Ma'mela jî, gundekî pir kevin e. Me got vê hefteyê em derbasî vî gundê Ma'mela bibin. This village of Ma'mila is a very old village. We said let's visit this village of Ma'mila this week.
Ev gundê Ma'mela jî, girêdayî navçeya Mabeta ye. Dike vê hefteyê, em mêvanê vî gundî bin. This village of Ma'mila is connected to the Mabeta district. So this week, we will be the guests of this village.

Gundê Ma'mela, girêdayî navçeya Mabeta ya Efrînê ye. Ma'mela li ser lutkeya çiyayekî dikeve û derdora wî jî hemû navçe û newal in. The village of Ma'mila is connected to the Mabeta district of Afrin. Ma'mila is located on the peak of a mountain and its surroundings are all districts and valleys.
Ji newalên derdorê yên navdar, Geliyê Ma'mo, Geliyê Nasro, Geliyê Xiraba û Geliyê Çîlê ye. Of the famous surrounding valleys, there are Ma'mo Valley, Nasro Valley, Xiraba Valley and Çîlê Valley.
Di gundê Ma'mela de nêzî 400 malbat jiyan dikin. Û piranîya vê hejmarê jî li derveyî gund jiyan dikin. Nearly 400 families live in the village of Ma'mila. And the majority of this number live outside the village.
Navê gund ji navê şivanekî ye bi navê Mamo tê. Mamo, beriya nêzî 1000 salî hatiye vê deverê û gund ava kiriye. The name of the village comes from the name of a shepherd named Mamo. Mamo came to this area nearly 1000 years ago and built the village.
Piştre jî, gelek malbat tên û bi awayekî belav li heman deverê bi cih dibin. Afterwards, many families came and settled in a scattered way in the same area.
Paşê jî ji bo ku xwe ji diz û çeteyan biparêzin li hev kom dibin û xaniyên xwe li nêzî hev ava dikin. Later, in order to protect themselves from thieves and gangs, they gathered together and built their houses close to each other.

Ooo, ê, baş, merhaba ji te ra. Ooo, alright, well, hello to you.
Merhaba, ehlen wa sehlen. Hello, welcome.
Rojbaş, û serkeftin be. Good day, and success to you.
Înşellah em tim weha we bibînin û hûn herin û werin û serkeftin be. God willing, we will always see you like this and you come and go, and success.
Spas. Ser serê me, ser çavê me. Thank you. On my head, on my eyes.
Çavê te sax bin, serê te sax be. May your eyes be alive, may your head be alive.
Me got em derbasî gundê Ma'mela bûn, me xwest em dîroka gundê Ma'mela nas bikin. Ev gund çi qas sal da çêbûye? We said we entered the village of Ma'mila, we wanted to get to know the history of the village of Ma'mila. How many years has this village been built?
Welleh ev gund dîroka xwe pir kevin e. Well, the history of this village is very old.
Texrîben em karin bêjin ku di navbera herêmê.. ev gundê tebîî seftehe.. di hudûdê hezar salî de heye ev gund. We can roughly say that between the region... this village naturally first... this village exists in the borders of a thousand years.
Gundekî kevin e. It is an old village.
Kevin e. It is old.
Hûn çawa zanin weke kevin e? How do you know it is old like this?
Êh, em, dîrokê... kalên me, ha weha digotin. Em texrîben naka 10-12 bav, em navan zanin. Uh, we, the history... our grandfathers, used to say so. We currently know the names of about 10-12 generations.
10-12 bav jî, yanî her yek hefte, heştê salî eyşî be, me'ne wî 1000 sal heye, texmîna me weha ye. 10-12 generations, meaning if each lived 70-80 years, it means it is 1000 years, our estimation is like this.
Na ê, ev gund destpêkê kê ava kir? Kî hat vî gundî? Now, who built this village in the beginning? Who came to this village?
Ev gund, eslê xwe, ev malbatên gel vê derê, pêşî ne li vir bûn. This village, in its origin, the families with this place, they were not here at first.
Dorên vir di cih de bûn. They were in places around here.
Destpêkê gund ne li vir bû? In the beginning, the village was not here?
Ne li vir bûye. Paşê me hemû hatin vê derê. It wasn't here. Later on we all came to this place.
Ku tehlîl... am dibên, ev gund bûye Ma'melo navê wî.. me'ne ku Mamo li vir bû. When analyzing... we say, this village's name became Ma'melo.. meaning that Mamo was here.
Paşê, ew hat Hemze hat, paşê Hebîb hat.. Then, he came, Hemze came, then Hebib came..
Û gund mezin bû yavaş yavaş. Di wan çaxan de jî eşqiya hebûn. Digotin eşqiya çete metê... And the village slowly grew. In those times there were also bandits. They would say bandits, gangs and such...
Wan xwestin gund li ser hev dicivin me'ne ku pişta hev bigirin. They wanted to gather the village together to support each other.
Û noka ev malbatên hazir li meydonê hene.. çend malbat ne? And currently, the families present in the arena... how many families are they?
Teqrîben.. 9-10 malbat hene di gund de. Approximately... there are 9-10 families in the village.
Tu karî navê wan ji me re bêjî? Can you tell us their names?
Erê. Ya sîdî.. Elî Bego.. Yes. Sir.. Eli Bego..
Mala Simo... Mala Cefer.. Mala Îbiş.. Mala Mamo.. Mala Heşaşo.. Mala Zibaro... Mala Birîmê... The Simo family... The Cefer family.. The Ibiş family.. The Mamo family.. The Heşaşo family.. The Zibaro family... The Birime family...
Û malbatên din jî hene çûçik in.. mala Horê heye.. mala Kurdî heye, yanî ew jî pişt re li vir in. And there are other families too, small ones.. the Hore family is there.. the Kurdi family is there, meaning they also came here later.
Na, ev gundê we çend mal in? Now, how many houses is your village?
Welleh.. noka di hudûdê 400 malî de ye.. teqrîben 800 mal jî ji gund çûye. Well.. now it is in the borders of 400 houses.. approximately 800 houses have also left the village.
Çûne kû derê? Where did they go?
Heta dewletên derva jî çûne. Li Qereqanê jî noka.. di hudûdê.. Efrîn 50-60 malên me lê heye. They even went to foreign countries. In Qereqan too now.. in the borders of.. Afrin we have 50-60 houses there.
Li Cindirêsê hene.. li Şiyê hene.. Pir belav bûye gundê me. There are some in Cindires.. there are some in Şiye.. Our village has spread a lot.
Na ev gundekî kevin e, wek te got. Na ev gundên derdorê we jî wek gundê Xelîl e, gundê Omero ye.. gundekî wek we jî li milê çiya ye... Now this is an old village, as you said. Now these surrounding villages of yours like Xelil village, Omero village.. a village like yours is on the side of the mountain...
Ev gundên we jî li serê çiya hatine ava kirin? Were these villages of yours also built on top of the mountain?
Erê. Yes.
Hûn debara xwe bi çi dikin? What do you make a living with?
Debara me.. berê me vê derê, çep çewirmê me vê derê.. çiya bûn. Our living.. our past here, our surroundings here.. were mountains.
Sefteh... dewar bûn, pez bûn, çêl bûn... First... there were cattle, sheep, cows...
Paşê ku bi cih... ji Tirkiyê de hatin, vê derê ev çiya gişt hilkirin. Kirin erd. Gişt kirin zeytûn û rez. Then when places... they came from Turkey, here they leveled all these mountains. They made it into land. They made it all into olives and vineyards.
Tave sefteh, me'serê zeytê, li vî gundî çêbûn. Pênc me'ser çêbûn. Di wan me'seran de, her malbatekê me'serek xwe hebû. Even first, olive presses were built in this village. Five presses were built. In those presses, each family had its own press.
Yanî wek ku tu dibêjî destpêkê zeytûn cem we de çêbûn? Meaning as you are saying, initially olives were grown with you?
Cem me de çêbûn. Deşta Çeqel û Deşta Mistko Erendê, Şiyê, de hatin vê derê bi rebê, zeytûn diçinîn û me'ne zeyta xwe bikin. They grew with us. From the Çeqel Plain and Mistko Erende Plain, Şiye, they came here with lords, they picked olives to make their oil.
Ê ev çend sal in? And how many years is this?
Emrê vê zeytûnên me.. dused-sêsed sal ra heye. Vane noka li pêş çavê te xwe hûn tînin tu teswîr dikî. The age of these olive trees of ours.. is over two to three hundred years. Here they are now in front of your eyes, you are bringing them, you are filming.
Sêsed sal? Three hundred years?
Heye... û di wê demê de jî me'serê gundî... It has... and in that time too the village presses...
Me'serê gundê me jî, di wê demê de çêbûn. Pênc me'ser, her malbatekê me'serek xwe hebû. Our village presses were also built in that time. 5 presses, each family had its own press.
Û hîna ji gundên din zeytûn... dikşandin ser tînin li vir diherçandin. Dikirin zeyt. And they still brought olives from other villages... they would grind them here. They would make oil.
Û di gundê we de jî naka we bazarek jî ava kiriye ji xwe re.. And in your village now you have also built a market for yourselves..
Bazar jî.. teqrîben salek e me ava kiriye, ew jî încazê meclîsa gund e. The market too.. it has been approximately a year since we built it, that is also the achievement of the village council.
Û... mustewsef ava kirin.. û... heyva sor ava kirin.. Û di gund pir tişt ava bûn. And... they built a clinic.. and... they built the Red Crescent.. And many things were built in the village.
Bi cuhdiya meclîsa gund. Teb'en, ev hecer... With the effort of the village council. Naturally, any stone...
Em jî serkeftinê ji we re dixwazin û spas ji te re. We also wish you success and thank you.
Ser çavan spas, ehlen wa sehlen... Thank you on my eyes, welcome...

Bi destpêka şoreşa Rojava yê Kurdistanê, û rizgarkirina herêmê ji rejîma Baasê, şêniyên gundê Ma'mela meclîsa xwe ya gund ava kirin. With the beginning of the Rojava Kurdistan revolution, and the liberation of the region from the Ba'ath regime, the residents of Ma'mila village built their village council.
Piştî ku meclîsa gund hate avakirin, ji bo ku şêniyên gund û gundên derdora wê pêdiviyên xwe peyda bikin, bazarek jî hate vekirin. After the village council was built, in order for the residents of the village and its surrounding villages to meet their needs, a market was also opened.
Û hefteyê rojek, şemiyê, şêniyên gund û yên derdorê, hemû xwe tînin bazarê û debara xwe jê dikin. And one day a week, on Saturday, the residents of the village and its surroundings, all come to the market and make their living from it.

Belê temaşevanên hêja, di gundê Ma'mela de jî bazarek ji xwe re ava kirine. Yes, dear viewers, in the village of Ma'mila they have also built a market for themselves.
Meclîsa gund li hev civîn, gotin em bazarekê ji xwe re peyda bikin. Jiber ku ev gund dûrî navenda Efrînê ye. The village council gathered together, they said let's get a market for ourselves. Because this village is far from the center of Afrin.
Gotin em ê ji xwe re bazarekê ava bikin. Em derbasî bazarê jî bûn. They said we will build a market for ourselves. We also entered the market.
Me dît meclîs li vir e. Em ê noka.. navê wê pirsin. Kengî ev ava bûye bazar? Merheba ji we re. We saw the council is here. We will now.. ask its name. When was this market built? Hello to you.
Ehlen wa sehlen.. bi xêr û selametî. Ehlen wa sehlen bi keremê biraderên me. Ser çavan.. Welcome.. with goodness and safety. Welcome by the grace of our brothers. On my eyes..
Sax be. Erê em derbasî gundê we bûn, em derbasî bazarê jî bûn. May you live long. Yes, we entered your village, we also entered the market.
Me xwest tiştekî li ser bazarê ji me re xuyanî bikin. Kengî we ev bazar ava kir? We wanted you to clarify something about the market for us. When did you build this market?
Teqrîben.. meha du hezar û çardeh. Meha pêncan de, me dest pê kir. Approximately.. the month of two thousand and fourteen. In the fifth month, we started.
Yanî di meha pêncan di du hezar û çardeh... Meaning in the fifth month in two thousand and fourteen...
Belê, me xwest em tiştekî ji jinan re jî em kar bikin. Wek me dît jinên hanê zehmetiyan dibînin, meselen.. rêberiya mala xwe dikin. Yes, we wanted to work on something for the women too. As we saw these women are facing difficulties, for example.. they are guiding their homes.
Mesuliyatek ketiye ser stûyê wan. Her yekî barek di milê xwe de bar kiriye. A responsibility has fallen on their necks. Each has loaded a load on her shoulder.
Me xwest em hereketekî weha di gund de çêkin ku hewqas jin hewqas kes werin wek bazarê. We wanted to make such a movement in the village so that so many women and people would come as a market.
Çiqas diman de mal de diman em wek bazarê ne. Nû piştî çavê aleme girtiye.. No matter how much they stayed at home, we are like a market. Now that people's eyes have caught it..
Kaniya hereketek xurt e, kanî miletê xwe, xwişkên xwe ji xwe re bibînin yek e, wekî muhîm e tiştekî mesuliyetekê ser xwe rakin. It is a strong movement, it is a way to see one's nation, one's sisters as one, that it is important to take a responsibility upon oneself.
Û em milê wan jî bigirin... wane destpêkê nu. And we hold their hands too... as a beginning now.
Me xwest weha jinên jî werin wî hereketek gundê me de çêbibe. Nû gundê me, pir ji bajêr dûr e. Ji Efrînê dûr e. We wanted women to come and.. this movement to happen in our village. Now our village is very far from the city. It is far from Afrin.
Me xwest em tiştekî.. zehmetî didîtin, diçûn bazarên Efrînê û dihatin. We wanted to make something... they were facing difficulties, going to the markets of Afrin and coming back.
Me xwest em tiştekî nû ha cerib... di nav gundê xwe de çêkin. Me vî bazarê em pê fikirîn û me dest pê kir. We wanted to try something new... build it in our village. We thought of this market and we started.
Di rojek.. meha şeşan da, me weha dest pê kir.. nizamî.. du hezar û çardeh. Vê bazarê me destpê kir. On a day.. in the sixth month, we started like this.. officially.. two thousand and fourteen. We started this market.
Bi alîkariya meclîsê û.. rêberiya Yekitiya Star.. teb'en.. me ser sekinîn û me xebat kir. With the help of the council and.. the leadership of Yekitiya Star.. naturally.. we stood on it and we worked.
Hûn çend kes in di meclîsê de ne? How many people are you in the council?
Welleh... teqrîben... em... deh, sêzdeh kes in. Well... approximately... we are... ten, thirteen people.
Em jî serkeftinê ji we re dixwazin. We also wish you success.
Spas, spas ji we re. Thank you, thank you to you.
Û pîroz be bazara we. And congratulations on your market.
Spas, spas. Thank you, thank you.

Di gundê Me'milê de her weha navendekê tenduristiyê, dibistanek û navendekê gumrukê jî hene. In the village of Me'milê, there is also a health center, a school, and a customs center.
Xebatên xwe bi rêk û pêk dimeşînin. They run their operations systematically.
Her weha sê mehserê zeytûnan yê derxistina zeytê, yê kevnar jî hene. There are also three ancient olive presses for extracting olive oil.
Lê ji ber ku mehserên nû derketin, ew hatin rawestandin. But because new olive presses appeared, they were stopped.
Belê temaşevanên hêja, di gundê Me'milê de jî, me dî mistewsef û Heyva Sor ve heye. Yes, dear viewers, in the village of Me'milê, we saw there is a clinic and a Red Crescent center.
Me go em ê derbasî cem wan bibin, em ê bi wan re suhbet bikin. We decided to go to them and have a conversation with them.
Em ê bipirsin kîngê ev mistewsef û Heyva Sor li vir vebûye. We will ask since when this clinic and Red Crescent have been opened here.
Nav derbasbûnê jî, Dr. Neşat Zîbar, me go em ê ji wî bipirsin. Merheba. As we go inside, Dr. Neşat Zîbar, we decided to ask him. Hello.
Hûn hatin ser serê me, ser herdû çavên min, ehla wesehla. You came upon our heads, upon both my eyes, welcome.
Sax bî. Doktor, ev kîngê ev mistewsef di gund de vekir? Thank you. Doctor, since when did this clinic open in the village?
Mistewsef pênc meh e teqrîben, me vekiriye, û Heyva Sor jî sê meh e me vekiriye. It has been about five months since we opened the clinic, and three months since we opened the Red Crescent.
Ev pênc mehan, berê tine bû? These five months, was it not there before?
Mistewsef tine bû, miletê me ê gund, ê nazih ko hatine gund, diçûn Efrînê xwe mûalece dikirin. There was no clinic, our village people, the displaced people who came to the village, used to go to Afrin for treatment.
Me mistewsef vekir, û Heyva Sor jî me vekir, û çar textor bi me re amade ne. We opened the clinic, and we also opened the Red Crescent, and we have four doctors available with us.
Doktor Hebeş Omer, Doktor Nîdal Hesen, Doctor Hebeş Omer, Doctor Nîdal Hesen,

û Doktor Zekerîya Ge'do, nîsaî ye. and Doctor Zekerîya Ge'do is a gynecologist.
Û mexber Zîbar, em li vir kar dikin. And the Zîbar laboratory, we work here.
Yanî, ji ber ku gundê we, ji Efrînê pir dûr bû. So, it was because your village was very far from Afrin.
Yanî milet her nekarin herin wê derê? Vêca ji ber wê we ev yek vekir xasekî di gund de peyda kir. I mean, people can't always go there? So because of that, you opened this specifically and established it in the village.
Me li vir peyda kir û spasîk ji mecilîsê gund re, We established it here, and thanks to the village council,
Û ji desteya tenduristî ya Efrînê bi me re hevkarî kir. And to the Health Board of Afrin that cooperated with us.
Derman ji me re anî, û cîhazên sema'an tişt ji me re hazir kirin. Spas ji wan re jî. They brought medicine for us, and prepared stethoscope devices and things for us. Thanks to them too.
Belê temaşevanên hêja, di gundê Me'milê de jî, me tiştekî dît, emrê wan pir kevin e. Yes, dear viewers, in the village of Me'milê, we saw something, their age is very old.
Efrîn hemî tên naskirin bi zeytûnan. Afrin is entirely known for olives.
Wek gundî dibêjin, destpêka zeytûnê li vî gundî da hatî çandin. As the villagers say, the first planting of olives was in this village.
Ji ber ko ev mehseran jî pir kevin in. Because these presses are also very old.
Ên ha Apê Osman e, em ê dîrokê ji wî bipirsin. Merheba Apê Osman. This is Uncle Osman, we will ask him about the history. Hello Uncle Osman.
Ehla wesehla. Welcome.
Apê Osman, emrê vê mehserê çend sal e? Uncle Osman, how old is this olive press?
Sê sed sal. Three hundred years.
Yanî dema we dest bi zeytûnan kir, ev mehser jî we xwere peyda kirin. So when you started with olives, you also established this press for yourselves.
Belê vêkê.. mehsera zeytê ye. Yes, this one.. is an olive oil press.
Ev mehsera, ê kevn in. These presses are old ones.
Neha, ta di vî wextî da, hûn hîn bi kar tînin yan na? Ev jî ev berê dewar bûn. Now, even at this time, do you still use them or not? These were run by animals in the past.
Bi dewar bûn. Bes neha, tiştekî nema ye. Xwedê te da nemane. They were run by animals. But now, there is nothing left. They are no longer used.
Kirin meqbes, şûnda jî meqbes xirab bûn. They made them into presses, and then the presses also broke down.

Dîsa di gund da zaretgehek Meyremê yan jî Îskenderê heye. Again, in the village there is a shrine of Meyrem or Iskender.
Û şêniyên gund ji bo aramiya xwe ya derûnî bi hev re serdana wê dikin. And the residents of the village visit it together for their inner peace.
Belê temaşvanên hêja, di gundê Mamelê da jî ziretek jî heye. Yes, dear viewers, there is also a shrine in the village of Mamele.
Me go em derbasî cem zaretê bibin. Zaret jî cihkî pîroz e li vir. We said let's go visit the shrine. A shrine is also a holy place here.
Em ê bipirsin ev zareta kengî çê bûye, çi dîroka vê zaretê heye. We will ask when this shrine was built, what is the history of this shrine.
Merheba jaro. Hello to you.
Ehla weselah. Welcome.
Navê we bi xêr? What is your name?
Îsmetê Ure. Ismet Ure.
Ser çava, em apê Îsmet. You're welcome, uncle Ismet.
Apê Îsmet, ka ji me ra dîrokê bêje, navê zareta we çiye? Uncle Ismet, tell us the history, what is the name of your shrine?
Navê zareta me... vê ra dibêjin zareta Îskendero, û navê zaretek bixwe dibêjin Meyremê. The name of our shrine... they call this the shrine of Iskender, and the name of a shrine itself they call Meyrem.
Çima Îskendero û Meyrem? Why Iskender and Meyrem?
Mentiqe ya Îskender li vir e, mal li vir derê bûn. The region of Iskender is here, the houses were here.
Yanî ev cihê em dibêjin li vir e Îskender e, navê vir. Ev nav ji kî va hatiye? So this place we say is here is Iskender, the name of this place. Where did this name come from?
Ev nav wexta xwe jinek nexweş bû hat... A sick woman came...
Navê Îskendero ji kî va hatiye? Where did the name Iskender come from?
Welle ew wexta dibên mal li vir bûn eşîrek li vir derê bûn navê xwe Îskender bû xirabeyên xwe hane. Well, at that time they say there were houses here, there was a tribe here, their name was Iskender, their ruins are there.
Li gundê we ne, derketin ji gundê we? Not in your village, did they leave your village?
Derketin e na netin. They left.
Çûn kî derê? Where did they go?
Bela xwe bûn hin çûn e, çeqel û hin tiştên hin Efrîn in da êdî ku mirin e yan man e yan nemane nizanim. They scattered, some went to, some jackals and some things, some in Afrin, so whether they died or stayed or didn't stay, I don't know.
Navê zareta me Meyrem bû û jinek hat me bi çavê xwe dîtî li ber nexweş bû tê da xew kir çê bû. The name of our shrine was Meyrem and a woman came, we saw it with our own eyes, she was sick there, she slept in it and she got well.
Kî bû ew jinka? Who was that woman?
Ji gundê Mamelê bû? Her name was Lutfiye.
Ji gundê Mamelê bû? Was she from the village of Mamele?
Erê erê cîranê me ye. Yes, yes, she is our neighbor.
Û paşê qîzek xwe bû pê nav kir. And then she had a daughter, she named her after it.
Yanî beriya wê we zanî navê wê Meyrem e yan piştî ew jinik hat we zaniya Meyrem e? So before that did you know its name was Meyrem or after that woman came did you know it was Meyrem?
Piştî ew jinkê hat me zanî wê berê nezanî... After that woman came we knew, she didn't know before...
Beriya wê nezanî? Wê berê nezanî. Before her you didn't know? She didn't know before.
Berê anegorî vê sihran hebûn û tişt hebûn wekê gavan.. Before her, according to this, were there magic and things like step..
Vê na Xwedanê... Xwedanê vir derê girtin, bîr kolan. The owner... the owner of this place took it, dug a well.
Îşte da baran nebare tên vir derê xwarinê xwe dikin... So if it doesn't rain, they come here and eat their food...
Li vir derê dîsa ba jî rast e, da baran dibare. Here again the wind is also true, so it rains.
Gund hemî tê vir ha? The whole village comes here, right?
Lê! Tên vir, tên vir derê mîwan dikin wekî zarokê mektebê radibin da dîwar da. Yes, they come here, they come here and make guests, like school children, they get up and on the wall.
Tên vir derê dilîzin, kêf dikin dilîzin... cihkî rind e. They come here and play, they have fun and play... it is a nice place.
Mala we ava be, spas ji te re. Bless your home, thank you.
Ser çava, ser çava, ehla weselan. You're welcome, you're welcome, welcome.
Yek ji cihên kevnar ê din di gund de odaya Xelîl Ehmed Axa ye. Another ancient place in the village is the room of Khalil Ahmed Agha.
Ev ode beriya bêhtirî sad û pêncî salî hatiye avakirin û gelek şûnwarên kevnar têde hene. This room was built more than a hundred and fifty years ago and contains many ancient relics.
Belê temaşvanên hêja, di gundê Mamelê da jî em niha derbasî malekê jî bibin. Yes, dear viewers, in the village of Mamele we will now go to a house.
Ev oda a Ehmed Xelîl e, berê ev xaniya ev hewşa ê gund tev da bûye. This is the room of Ahmed Khalil, before this house and this courtyard belonged to the whole village.
Çiqas şêx hebûn, çiqas şahî hebûn hemû dihatin vir rûdiniştin. Odek li vir heye, em meraq bû em ê darbas bibin. How many sheikhs there were, how many celebrations there were, they all came and sat here. There is a room here, we were curious, we will go in.
Merheba jaro. Hello to you.
Ehla weselah ser çavan. Welcome, you're welcome.
Çavan, başe? You're welcome, fine?
Xêr hatin, ser çava hatin. Welcome, you're welcome.
Îro jî we kamerayên Ronahî... spasiyên xwe dikin we em anîn bîra we, em pir hesretên axa welat in. Today you cameras of Ronahi... thank you for bringing us to your mind again, we are very longing for the land of the country.
Spas ji te re. Navê we bi xêr? Thank you. What is your name?
Navê min Mehmûd Cefer e. Bavê Şêr e. My name is Mahmoud Jafar. Father of Sher.
Ser çava. You're welcome.
We got ev xaneya kevin e, ê gund tev da bûye, me jî xwest em derbas... meraq bû ji mera çêbû, me go em derbasî vê odê bibin. You said this is an old house, and it belonged to the whole village, we also wanted to go... we were curious, we said let's go into this room.
Ev ode a eşîreta me a şêxa tev da ye. Dike behsa me şîn e yan heta meydan e, kûsê ye ev.. nav gî eşîreta şêxa bûn. This room belongs to all of our Sheikh tribe. It talks about us, whether it is a mourning or even a square, it is a corner.. they were all from the Sheikh tribe.
Ev na dihatin da'wîyên wana digişt wan, li vê odê hel dibin. They used to come for their lawsuits, they are resolved in this room.
Çareser dibû. It was resolved.
Çareser dibû. Ev oda bi xwe mektebek bû. Mektebek rastî bû. Ê exlaqê bû, adabê bû, terbiyê bû. It was resolved. This room itself was a school. It was a real school. It was of morality, of manners, of education.
Yanî heta me ev ha bilind kirî... Manê kes linga çêneke ser hev. So even we raised this one... It means no one crosses their legs.
Ji bo wê bilind bûye ev ha? It was raised because of that?
Bûye ya bilind, bes, manê hebû wek û wek me niha am çawa rûniştine? Wisa rûdinin yek linga çêneke ser hev. It was raised, but, it had a meaning like how we are sitting now? They sit like that, one does not cross their legs.
Nasî gundê me bi eşîreta xwa û bi gundê xwe va kirî daîm... vir, manê ev sewkiyên hane ev ê bilind kirine. He introduced our village to his tribe and to his village always... meaning they raised these seats.
Emrê vê odê çiqas sal e? How many years old is this room?
Em tesbît dikin lî dev ba... hezar û sêsed û dehwêşt (1318). We confirm it says outside... one thousand three hundred and eighteen (1318).
Bes ode hîn xanî kevn e ji berî dîrokê pir e. But the room is still an old house from before its history.
Niha hezar û sê sed û dnehwêşt (1318) nivîstî li ser e... di piştê aqe pê. Bes hîn kevin e. Now one thousand three hundred and eighteen (1318) is written on it... in the back after it. But it is still old.
Hûn hey niha yên di vê odayê rûdinin? Do you still come and sit in this room now?
Em tên, ne wek selef, ne wekê kalikên min e. We come, it is not like the predecessors, not like our grandfathers.
Em tên rûdinin da... gelekê gundiyan na jî dêdîtir gaştir bû, zanî. We come and sit down, but.. sometimes the villagers were brighter, it was much brighter.
Bas in dihatin rûdiniştin. Di qûranê rûdiniştin, qûrekê çiqas şer nekir, ew ji wî madî biceh wî wezîrê min gihîştin. They used to come and sit, they used to sit in two groups. How much one group didn't fight, that was also material, I reached his vizier.
Zanî telefezyon ti ne bûn dihatin şor dikirin, mesqere dikirin, da'wî diqewimîn. There was no television, they used to come and talk, they used to make jokes, lawsuits happened.
Mesele, însanek eger mesele ez bibêjim bê birayê me hero nehat e. For example, a person if for example I say our brother didn't come today.
Îşev nehat, siba lê pirs dikin xêrt nedî... yan nexweşiyekê wî heyî.. yan tiştek wî heye... jiyan na xweştir bû. He didn't come tonight, they will ask him in the morning, you didn't come for good, or he has an illness.. or he has something.. life was better.
Spas ji te re. Thank you.
Ser çava ji te re... û bernameyê wekî me... ronahî li ro.. ax û welat e... You're welcome to you... and to the programs like ours... to the light on the land and the country...

Ev sindoqa min e. This is my chest.
Da yê ka ji me re bêje ev çend sal emrê wê ne? Mother, tell us, how many years is its age?
Çend sal in ev? Ser şêst salî, hevtê salî umrê xwe heye... Ev sindoq e. How many years is this? It's over sixty, seventy years old... This chest.
Ev dema tu bûk bûyî dayîka te da te? When you were a bride, did your mother give it to you?
Na ev ya dêkê min e. Dêkê min da min. No, this is my mother's. My mother gave it to me.
Dêkê min wextê rehmetî bû, 65 salî umrê xwe hebûn. Û wê dêkê xwe dayê, wê jî qîzê kiriye, ev dayikê... Ev sindoqa dêkê min a. When my mother passed away, she was 65 years old. And she gave it from her mother, and she did to her daughter, this mother... This is my mother's chest.
Yanî her keçikek dan mêr, sindoqek bi wê re di derxistin. So every girl they married off, they would send out a chest with her.
Her dêyek da ku qîzek dida, sindoqekê bi wan ra derdixistin. Cîhaza wê di de kirin û di derxistin. Ev jî Tirkiyê dianîn berê. Every mother who gave a girl away, they sent out a chest with them. They packed her trousseau in it and sent it out. They also used to bring these from Turkey in the past.
Ev me rişe. This black bead.
Ev jî wexta qîzek tişt dibû. Me gî belav kirin, derkirin, wekî me reş... bi vî rengî min çênekirin. This is also when a girl had something. We distributed them all, took them out, like the black... I didn't make them in this color.
Ez vê destê qîzê kim, min digot ez evê gerden kim û destê qîzê xwe kim. Ev e. I would put this on the girl's hand, I thought I would make it a necklace and put it on my daughter's hand. This is it.
Ev wêna te kirin? You did these?
Em dikirin. Paşê min me destê xwe çêkirin... vê me reşka. We used to do them. Then I made them with my hands... this black bead.
Ev jê wê reşkê ne. These are also of that black bead.
Tirkiyê dihatin evê dibêjin mercûmek. Vê ra jî dibêjin sibrge û eve yê sêl e. They came from Turkey, they call this 'mercûmek'. And they call this 'sibrge' and this is the flat pan one.
Ev tiştên han hemî te bi destê xwe çêkirin. You made all these things by your hand.
Min bi destê xwe çêkirin. I made them by my hand.
Temam sipas dayê destê te sax bin. Alright, thank you mother, bless your hands.
Em ne waz in... zehmet te bide. We don't want to... give you trouble.
Na zora tune ye. No, it's not a burden.
Sipas, saet xweş. Thank you, have a good time.
Em jî dibêjin saeta we pir xweş, we pir eziyet û xebat derxistiyê, saeta we pir xweş, em ji we pir memnûn in... We also wish you a very good time, you have put in a lot of effort and work, have a very good time, we are very pleased with you...

Em derbasî gundê Mehmele bûn, her kesî ji me ra got, tiştê kevn ba te heye, em werin ba te. We came into the village of Mehmele, everyone told us you have old things, so we came to you.
Ehlen wa sehlen. Welcome.
Gotin tiştê kevn ba te heye, te jî hemî ji dar hatî çêkirin. They said you have old things, all made of wood.

Belê ev hemî tiştên gundî ye. Wek ev delîb e, ev destar e... ev tiştê han hemî gundî ye. Yes, these are all village things. Like this waterwheel, this hand-mill... all these things are from the village.

Got me lazim tiştên kevn tûrasiya kevn giş hebe. He said we must have all the old things, the old heritage.
Da her yek ji gund hat an xerbîk hat... mi la zanebe ev gava berê karê me bû. So that anyone from the village or a stranger who came... would know that this was our work in the past.
Mesela wisa textê nîn, pê textê nîn nîn dikirin. For example, like this dough board, they made dough with the dough board.
Û ew ha, berî megbesa me pê wî ha... And that one, before our press we used that...

Berê we dikirin vira, çûb... çûbên zeytûnan piştî diheriştin, wa ha diherişt, evha delîbe. Mehsere. In the past they put it here, sacks... sacks of olives after they crushed them, they crushed them like this, this is the waterwheel. Olive press.
O têkirina vira, zeyt diderkî vira derkî vira, zeyt diderkî paşê kom dikirin. And pouring it here, the oil came out here, came out here, the oil came out and then they collected it.

Ew wa silixe. Dîroka xa li ser e... salê heştê û çar a. Kaniyê dîroka ser e? That one is a slide. Its history is on it... the year eighty-four. Where is its history on it?
O ha wa şixre ye. O ha wa silxe ye. And that one is a rake. And that one is a slide.
