Һекмәт топлиғучи 4
1 Андин мән қайтидин зеһнимни жиғип қуяш астида дайим болуватқан барлиқ зорлуқ-зумбулуқни көрдүм; мана, езилгәнләрниң көз яшлири! Уларға һеч тәсәлли бәргүчи йоқ еди; уларни әзгәнләрниң күчлүк йөләнчүки бар еди, бирақ езилгәнләргә һеч тәсәлли бәргүчи йоқ еди.
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.
2 Шуңа мән аллиқачан өлүп кәткән өлгүчиләрни техи һаят болған тирикләрдин үстүн дәп тәриплидим;
[So] I thought that those who are already dead are more fortunate than those who are still alive.
3 шундақла бу икки хил кишиләрдин бәхитлиги техи апиридә болмиған кишидур; чүнки у қуяш астида қилинған яманлиқларни һеч көрүп бақмиған.
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.
4 Андин мән барлиқ әҗир вә барлиқ хизмәтниң утуқлиридин шуни көрүп йәттимки, у инсанниң йеқинини көрәлмәслигидин болиду. Буму бимәнилик вә Шамални қоғлиғандәк иштур.
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.
5 Ахмақ қол қоштуруп, өз гөшини йәйду.
Foolish people [refuse to work]; they sit idly, with their hands folded, [and do not work]. [So] they ruin themselves.
6 Җапа чекип шамални қоғлап очумини тошқузимән дегәндин, чаңгилини тошқузуп хатирҗәмликтә болуш әладур.
[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.”
7 Мән йәнә зеһнимни жиғип, қуяш астидики бир бимәниликни көрдум;
I thought about something else that happens on the earth [MTY] that seems senseless.
8 бириси ялғуз, тикәндәк болсиму, шундақла нә оғли нә ака-укиси болмисиму — бирақ униң җапасиниң ахири болмайду, униң көзи байлиқларға тоймайду. У: «Мән бундақ җапалиқ ишләп, җенимдин зади кимгә яхшилиқ қалдуримән?» — дегәнни соримайду. Буму бимәнилик вә еғир җападин ибарәттур.
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.
9 Икки бирдин яхшидур; чүнки икки болса әмгигидин яхши инъам алиду.
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.
10 Жиқилип кәтсә, бириси һәмраһини йөләп көтириду; бирақ ялғуз һаләттә жиқилип кәтсә, йөлигидәк башқа бириси йоқ болса, бу кишиниң һалиға вай!
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.
11 Йәнә, иккиси биллә ятса, бир-бирини иллитиду; лекин бириси ялғуз ятса қандақ иллитилсун?
Similarly, if two people sleep together, they can keep each other warm. But someone who sleeps alone will certainly not [RHQ] be warm.
12 Йәнә, бирәв ялғуз бир адәмни йеңивалған болса, иккиси униңға тақабил туралайду; шуниңдәк үч қат арғамча асан үзүлмәс.
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].
13 Кәмбәғәл амма ақил жигит йәнә несиһәтниң әтиварини қилмайдиған қери ахмақ падишадин яхшидур;
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.
14 Чүнки гәрчә у бу падишаниң падишалиғида кәмбәғәл болуп туғулған болсиму, у зиндандин тәхткә олтиришқа чиқти.
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.
15 Мән қуяш астидики барлиқ тирикләрниң әшу иккинчини, йәни [падишаниң] орнини басқучини, шу жигитни қоллайдиғанлиғини көрдум.
But then some other young man becomes king, and everyone (starts to support/is pleased with) him.
16 Барлиқ хәлиқ, йәни уларниң алдида турған барлиқ пухралар санақсиз болсиму, бирақ улардин кейинкиләр жигиттинму рази болмайду; буму бимәнилик вә шамални қоғлиғандәк иштур.
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.
