< 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 a man of all his labour which he taketh 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 abideth for ever.
5 Kün chiqidu, kün patidu; We chiqidighan jaygha qarap yene aldirap mangidu.
The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose.
6 Shamal jenubqa qarap soqidu; Andin burulup shimalgha qarap soqidu; U aylinip-aylinip, Herdaim öz aylanma yoligha qaytidu.
The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his 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 from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.
8 Barliq ishlar japagha tolghandur; Uni éytip tügetküchi adem yoqtur; Köz körüshtin, Qulaq anglashtin hergiz toymaydu.
All things [are] full of labour; man cannot utter [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.
The thing that hath been, it [is that] which shall be; and that which is done [is] that which shall be done: and [there is] no new [thing] under the sun.
10 «Mana, bu yéngi ish» dégili bolidighan ish barmu? U beribir bizdin burunqi dewrlerde alliqachan bolup ötken ishlardur.
Is there [any] thing whereof it may be said, See, this [is] new? it hath been already of old time, which was 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 [any] remembrance of [things] that are to come with [those] that shall come after.
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 gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all [things] that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised 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 vexation of spirit.
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 am come to great estate, and have gotten more wisdom than all [they] that have been before me in Jerusalem: yea, my heart had great experience 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 gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit.
18 Chünki danaliqning köp bolushi bilen azab-oqubetmu köp bolidu; bilimini köpeytküchining derd-elimimu köpiydu.
For in much wisdom [is] much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.
