< 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," says the Preacher; "Vanity of vanities, all is vanity."
3 Quyash astida tartqan japaliridin insan néme paydigha érisher?
What does man gain from all his labor in which he labors under the sun?
4 Bir dewr ötidu, yene bir dewr kélidu; Biraq yer-zémin menggüge dawam qilidu;
One generation goes, and another generation comes; but the earth remains forever.
5 Kün chiqidu, kün patidu; We chiqidighan jaygha qarap yene aldirap mangidu.
The sun also rises, and the sun goes down, and hurries to its place where it rises.
6 Shamal jenubqa qarap soqidu; Andin burulup shimalgha qarap soqidu; U aylinip-aylinip, Herdaim öz aylanma yoligha qaytidu.
The wind goes toward the south, and turns around to the north. It turns around continually as it goes, and the wind returns again to its courses.
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. To the place where the rivers flow, there they flow again.
8 Barliq ishlar japagha tolghandur; Uni éytip tügetküchi adem yoqtur; Köz körüshtin, Qulaq anglashtin hergiz toymaydu.
All things are full of weariness beyond uttering. 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 has been is that which shall be; and that which has been 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 a thing of which it may be said, "Look, this is new?" It has been long ago, 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 memory of the former; neither shall there be any memory of the latter that are to come, among 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!
I applied my heart to seek and to search out by wisdom concerning all that is done under the sky. It is a heavy burden that God has given to the sons of men to be afflicted with.
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 look, all is vanity and a chasing after wind.
15 Egrini tüz qilghili bolmas; Kemni toluq dep sanighili bolmas.
That which is crooked can't be made straight; and that which is lacking can't be counted.
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 said to myself, "Look, I have obtained for myself great wisdom above all who were before me in Jerusalem. Yes, my heart has 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.
I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly. I perceived that this also was a chasing after wind.
18 Chünki danaliqning köp bolushi bilen azab-oqubetmu köp bolidu; bilimini köpeytküchining derd-elimimu köpiydu.
For in much wisdom is much grief; and he who increases knowledge increases sorrow.
