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 by all his labor with which he wearieth himself 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; while the earth abideth for ever.
5 Kün chiqidu, kün patidu; We chiqidighan jaygha qarap yene aldirap mangidu.
The sun riseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteneth to the place whence it 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 to the north; round and round goeth the wind, and returneth 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; to the place whence the rivers come, thither they return.
8 Barliq ishlar japagha tolghandur; Uni éytip tügetküchi adem yoqtur; Köz körüshtin, Qulaq anglashtin hergiz toymaydu.
All words become weary; man cannot 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.
The thing that hath been is that which shall be, and that which hath 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 any thing of which one may say, “Behold, this is new”? It was long ago, in the times 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, and of things that are to come there shall be no remembrance to those who live afterwards.
12 Menki hékmet toplighuchi Yérusalémda Israilgha padishah bolghanmen;
I, the Preacher, was king over Israel at 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 mind to seek and to search out with wisdom concerning all things which are done under heaven; an evil business, which God hath given to the sons of men, in which to employ themselves.
14 Men quyash astidiki barliq qilin’ghan ishlarni körüp chiqtim, — Mana, hemmisi bimenilik we shamalni qoghlighandek ishtin ibarettur.
I saw all the things which are done under the sun; and, behold, it was all vanity, and striving after 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 my heart, saying, “Behold, I have gained more and greater wisdom than all who have been before me at Jerusalem; yea, my mind hath seen much 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 mind to know wisdom, and to know senselessness and folly; I perceived that this also is striving after 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.
