< Hékmet toplighuchi 1 >
1 Yérusalémda padishah bolghan, Dawutning oghli «Hékmet toplighuchi»ning sözliri: —
The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.
2 «Bimenilik üstige bimenilik!» — deydu «Hékmet toplighuchi» — «Bimenilik üstige bimenilik! Hemme ish bimeniliktur!»
Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities! all is vanity.
3 Quyash astida tartqan japaliridin insan néme paydigha érisher?
What profit hath man of all his labour wherewith he laboureth under the sun?
4 Bir dewr ötidu, yene bir dewr kélidu; Biraq yer-zémin menggüge dawam qilidu;
[One] generation passeth away, and [another] generation cometh, but the earth standeth for ever.
5 Kün chiqidu, kün patidu; We chiqidighan jaygha qarap yene aldirap mangidu.
The sun also riseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to its place where it ariseth.
6 Shamal jenubqa qarap soqidu; Andin burulup shimalgha qarap soqidu; U aylinip-aylinip, Herdaim öz aylanma yoligha qaytidu.
The wind goeth towards the south, and turneth about towards the north: it turneth about continually, and the wind returneth again to its circuits.
7 Barliq deryalar déngizgha qarap aqidu, biraq déngiz tolmaydu; Deryalar qaysi jaygha aqqan bolsa, Ular yene shu yerge qaytidu.
All the rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is not full: unto the place whither the rivers go, thither they go again.
8 Barliq ishlar japagha tolghandur; Uni éytip tügetküchi adem yoqtur; Köz körüshtin, Qulaq anglashtin hergiz toymaydu.
All things are full of toil; none can express it. The eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.
9 Bolghan ishlar yene bolidighan ishlardur; Qilghan ishlar yene qilinidu; Quyash astida héchqandaq yéngiliq yoqtur.
That which hath been is that which shall be; and that which hath been done is that which will be done: and there is nothing new under the sun.
10 «Mana, bu yéngi ish» dégili bolidighan ish barmu? U beribir bizdin burunqi dewrlerde alliqachan bolup ötken ishlardur.
Is there a thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? It hath been already in the ages which were before us.
11 Burunqi ishlar hazir héch eslenmeydu; We kelgüside bolidighan ishlarmu ulardin kéyin yashaydighanlarning ésige héch kelmeydu.
There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be remembrance of things that are to come with those who shall live afterwards.
12 Menki hékmet toplighuchi Yérusalémda Israilgha padishah bolghanmen;
I, the Preacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
13 Men danaliq bilen asmanlar astida barliq qilin’ghan ishlarni qétirqinip izdeshke köngül qoydum — Xulasem shuki, Xuda insan balilirining öz-özini bend qilip upritish üchün, ulargha bu éghir japani teqdim qilghan!
And I applied my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all that is done under the heavens: this grievous occupation hath God given to the children of men to weary themselves therewith.
14 Men quyash astidiki barliq qilin’ghan ishlarni körüp chiqtim, — Mana, hemmisi bimenilik we shamalni qoghlighandek ishtin ibarettur.
I have seen all the works that are done under the sun, and behold, all is vanity and pursuit of the wind.
15 Egrini tüz qilghili bolmas; Kemni toluq dep sanighili bolmas.
That which is crooked cannot be made straight; and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.
16 Men öz könglümde oylinip: «Mana, men ulughlinip, mendin ilgiri Yérusalém üstige barliq höküm sürgenlerdin köp danaliqqa érishtim; méning könglüm nurghun danaliq we bilimge érishti» — dédim.
I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I have become great and have acquired wisdom more than all they that have been before me over Jerusalem; and my heart hath seen much of wisdom and knowledge.
17 Shuning bilen danaliqni bilishke, shuningdek telwilik we exmiqanilikni bilip yétishke köngül qoydum; mushu ishnimu shamal qoghlighandek ish dep bilip yettim.
And I applied my heart to the knowledge of wisdom, and to the knowledge of madness and folly: I perceived that this also is a striving after the wind.
18 Chünki danaliqning köp bolushi bilen azab-oqubetmu köp bolidu; bilimini köpeytküchining derd-elimimu köpiydu.
For in much wisdom is much vexation, and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.
