Ecclesiastes 4
1 I thought some more about all the suffering that people are caused to experience on the earth [MTY]. I saw the tears of people who were (oppressed/treated cruelly) and who had no one to comfort/encourage them. Those who oppressed them had power, and there was absolutely no one who was able to comfort those who were being oppressed.
Mən yenə səma altında edilən Bütün zülmləri gördüm: Məzlumların göz yaşlarını gördüm, Onlara təsəlli verən yox idi, Qüdrət zalımların əlində idi, Məzlumlara təsəlli verən yox idi.
2 [So] I thought that those who are already dead are more fortunate than those who are still alive.
Çoxdan ölüb getmiş adamları Hələ diri qalanlardan daha xoşbəxt saydım.
3 And those who have not been born yet are more fortunate than those who are still alive and those who have died, [because] those who have not been born have not seen all the evil things that are done on the earth.
Bunlardan da xoşbəxt o adamdır ki, Hələ dünyaya gəlməyib, Səma altında edilən pisliyi görməyib.
4 I also thought about all the hard work that people do and the skills that they have. And I thought about how they compete with each other because they are envious of others, [and I concluded that] this also is something that is not accomplishing anything useful, [like] chasing the wind.
Mən gördüm ki, bir adamın çəkdiyi bütün zəhmətlər, yaxşı gedən bütün işlər qonşusunda qısqanclıqdan həvəs yaradır. Bu da puçdur, külək dalınca qaçmağa bənzər.
5 Foolish people [refuse to work]; they sit idly, with their hands folded, [and do not work]. [So] they ruin themselves.
Ağılsız adam əlini qoynuna qoyur, Öz canını üzür.
6 [So I say], “It is better to be content with not having much money, than to work very hard and try to get a lot of money, which is [as useless as] chasing the wind.”
Bir ovuc dolusunun gətirdiyi rahatlıq İki ovuc dolusunun gətirdiyi Zəhmətdən və külək dalınca qaçmaqdan yaxşıdır.
7 I thought about something else that happens on the earth [MTY] that seems senseless.
Mən yenə səma altında puç olan başqa bir şeyi gördüm:
8 There are men who live alone; they do not have a wife or children or any brothers living with them; every day they work [very hard], without stopping, to get a lot of money, but they are never satisfied with the things that they have. They never ask [themselves], “Why am I working very hard to earn more money? Why am I not doing things that would cause me to be happy?” What they do also seems senseless.
Tənha bir adam var idi, Onun nə oğlu, nə də qardaşı var idi. Zəhmət çəkməkdən yorulmazdı, Lakin yenə də gözləri mal-dövlətdən doymurdu. Özündən soruşmurdu ki, Kimin üçün bu qədər zəhmət çəkirəm, Kimin üçün özümü zövq almaqdan məhrum edirəm? Bu da puçdur, böyük bir dərddir.
9 Having someone [work] with you is better than being by yourself [all the time]. If you have a friend, he can help you to do your work.
İki adam bir adamdan yaxşıdır, Çünki zəhmətləri üçün yaxşı muzd alacaqlar.
10 If you fall down, he can help you get up again. But if you fall down when you are alone, it will be difficult for you, because there will be no one to help you stand up.
Əgər biri yıxılsa, O biri yoldaşını qaldırar. Lakin vay o adamın halına ki, Yıxılanda onu qaldıran olmur!
11 Similarly, if two people sleep together, they can keep each other warm. But someone who sleeps alone will certainly not [RHQ] be warm.
Həmçinin iki nəfər bir yerdə yatarsa, Bir-birini isidər. Amma tək yatan necə isinə bilər?
12 Someone who is alone can easily be attacked and defeated by another person, but two people can help each other and (resist/defend themselves against) someone who attacks them. [Three people can defend themselves even more easily], [like] a rope that is made from three cords is harder to break [than a rope made from two cords].
Əgər bir nəfər tək qalıb məğlub olarsa, İki nəfər hücuma tab gətirə bilər. Üçqat ip tez qırılmaz.
13 A young man who is poor but wise is a better person than a foolish old king who refuses to pay attention when people try to give him good advice.
Yoxsul və hikmətli bir cavan irad qəbul etməyən qoca və səfeh padşahdan yaxşıdır.
14 It is possible for a young man like that to succeed and some day become king, even if his parents were poor or even if he was in prison some of the time.
Çünki o cavan bu ölkədə yoxsulluq içində doğulsa da, zindana düşsə də, çıxıb padşah ola bilər.
15 But then some other young man becomes king, and everyone (starts to support/is pleased with) him.
Gördüm ki, səma altında dolaşan bütün adamlar padşah taxtına oturan bu cavanın ardınca gedir.
16 Large crowds of people crowd around him. But after a few years, they will reject him, [too]. So it is all senseless, [like] chasing after the wind.
Onun başına yığışan bütün xalqın sayı-hesabı yox idi. Ancaq sonra gələn nəsillər onun üçün də sevinməyəcək. Bu da puçdur, külək dalınca qaçmağa bənzər.
