Hékmet toplighuchi 10
1 Xuddi ölük chiwinler ettarning etirini sésitiwétidighandek, azraqqine exmeqliq tarazida danaliq we izzet-hörmettinmu éghir toxtaydu.
Dead flies make the oil of the perfumer loathsome and corrupt; thus doth a little folly weigh down wisdom and honor.
2 Danaliqning köngli onggha mayil, exmeqningki solgha.
A wise man's mind is at his right hand; but a fool's mind is at his left.
3 Exmeq kishi hetta yolda méngiwatqandimu, uning eqli kem bolghachqa, u exmeq ikenlikini hemmige ayan qilidu.
Yea, even when the fool walketh in the way, his understanding faileth him, and he saith to every one that he is a fool.
4 Hökümdarning sanga achchiqi kelse, ornungdin istépa berme; chünki tinch-sewrichanliq xata-sewenliktin bolghan zor xapiliqni tinchitidu.
If the anger of a ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place! for gentleness pacifieth great offences.
5 Quyash astida yaman bir ishni kördumki, u hökümdardin chiqqan bir xata ishtur —
There is an evil which I have seen under the sun; an error which proceedeth from a ruler.
6 exmeqler yuqiri mensepte, shuning bilen teng baylar pes orunda olturidu;
Folly is set in many high stations, and the noble sit in a low place.
7 men qullarning atqa min’genlikini, emirlerning qullardek piyade mangghanliqini kördum.
I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants on foot.
8 Orini kolighan kishi uninggha yiqilishi mumkin; tamni buzghan kishini yilan chéqishi mumkin;
He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh down a wall, a serpent shall bite him.
9 tashlarni yötkigen kishi tash teripidin yarilinishi mumkin; otun yaridighan kishi xewpke uchraydu.
Whoso removeth stones shall be hurt therewith, and he that cleaveth wood shall be endangered thereby.
10 Palta gal bolsa, birsi tighini bilimise, paltini küchep chépishqa toghra kélidu; biraq danaliq ademni utuq-muweppeqiyetke érishtüridu.
If the iron be blunt, and one do not whet the edge, then must he put forth more strength; but an advantage for giving success hath wisdom.
11 Yilan oynitilmay turup, yilanchini chaqsa, yilanchigha néme payda?
If a serpent bite before he is charmed, then there is no advantage to the charmer.
12 Dana kishining sözliri shepqetliktur; biraq exmeqning lewliri özini yutidu.
The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool are his destruction.
13 Sözlirining béshi exmeqliq, ayighi rezil telwiliktur;
The beginning of the words of his mouth is folly, and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.
14 emma exmeq yenila gepni köpeytidu. Biraq héchkim kelgüsini bilmeydu; uningdin kéyinki ishlarni kim uninggha éytalisun?
A fool also multiplieth words, though no man knoweth what shall be; and who can tell him what shall be after him?
15 Exmeqler japasi bilen özlirini upritidu; chünki ular hetta sheherge baridighan yolnimu bilmeydu.
The labor of the foolish man wearieth him, because he knoweth not how to go to the city.
16 I zémin, padishahing bala bolsa, emirliring seherde ziyapet ötküzse, halinggha way!
Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes feast in the morning!
17 I zémin, padishahing mötiwerning oghli bolsa we emirliring keyp üchün emes, belki özini quwwetlesh üchün muwapiq waqtida ziyapet ötküzse, bu séning bexting!
Happy thou, O land, when thy king is a noble, and thy princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness!
18 Hurunluqtin öyning torusi ghulay dep qalidu; qollarning boshluqidin öydin yamghur ötidu.
By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and by the slackness of the hands the house leaketh.
19 Ziyapet külke üchün teyyarlinar, sharab hayatni xush qilar; lékin pul hemme ishni hel qilar!
A feast is made for laughter, and wine makes merry; but money answereth all things.
20 Padishahqa lenet qilma, hetta oyungdimu tillima; hujrangdimu baylarni tillima; chünki asmandiki bir qush awazingni taritidu, bir qanat igisi bu ishni ayan qilidu.
Curse not the king; no, not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bed-chamber! for a bird of the air shall carry the voice; and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.
