Hékmet toplighuchi 10
1 Xuddi ölük chiwinler ettarning etirini sésitiwétidighandek, azraqqine exmeqliq tarazida danaliq we izzet-hörmettinmu éghir toxtaydu.
Dead flies cause a perfumer's perfume To send forth a stink; The precious by reason of wisdom — By reason of honour — a little folly!
2 Danaliqning köngli onggha mayil, exmeqningki solgha.
The heart of the wise [is] at his right hand, And the heart of a fool at his left.
3 Exmeq kishi hetta yolda méngiwatqandimu, uning eqli kem bolghachqa, u exmeq ikenlikini hemmige ayan qilidu.
And also, when he that is a fool Is walking in the way, his heart is lacking, And he hath said to every one, 'He [is] a fool.'
4 Hökümdarning sanga achchiqi kelse, ornungdin istépa berme; chünki tinch-sewrichanliq xata-sewenliktin bolghan zor xapiliqni tinchitidu.
If the spirit of the ruler go up against thee, Thy place leave not, For yielding quieteth great sinners.
5 Quyash astida yaman bir ishni kördumki, u hökümdardin chiqqan bir xata ishtur —
There is an evil I have seen under the sun, As an error that goeth out from the ruler,
6 exmeqler yuqiri mensepte, shuning bilen teng baylar pes orunda olturidu;
He hath set the fool in many high places, And the rich in a low place do sit.
7 men qullarning atqa min’genlikini, emirlerning qullardek piyade mangghanliqini kördum.
I have seen servants on horses, And princes walking as servants on the earth.
8 Orini kolighan kishi uninggha yiqilishi mumkin; tamni buzghan kishini yilan chéqishi mumkin;
Whoso is digging a pit falleth into it, And whoso is breaking a hedge, a serpent biteth him.
9 tashlarni yötkigen kishi tash teripidin yarilinishi mumkin; otun yaridighan kishi xewpke uchraydu.
Whoso is removing stones is grieved by them, Whoso is cleaving trees endangered by them.
10 Palta gal bolsa, birsi tighini bilimise, paltini küchep chépishqa toghra kélidu; biraq danaliq ademni utuq-muweppeqiyetke érishtüridu.
If the iron hath been blunt, And he the face hath not sharpened, Then doth he increase strength, And wisdom [is] advantageous to make right.
11 Yilan oynitilmay turup, yilanchini chaqsa, yilanchigha néme payda?
If the serpent biteth without enchantment, Then there is no advantage to a master of the tongue.
12 Dana kishining sözliri shepqetliktur; biraq exmeqning lewliri özini yutidu.
Words of the mouth of the wise [are] gracious, And the lips of a fool swallow him up.
13 Sözlirining béshi exmeqliq, ayighi rezil telwiliktur;
The beginning of the words of his mouth [is] folly, And the latter end of his mouth [Is] mischievous madness.
14 emma exmeq yenila gepni köpeytidu. Biraq héchkim kelgüsini bilmeydu; uningdin kéyinki ishlarni kim uninggha éytalisun?
And the fool multiplieth words: 'Man knoweth not that which is, And that which is after him, who doth declare to him?'
15 Exmeqler japasi bilen özlirini upritidu; chünki ular hetta sheherge baridighan yolnimu bilmeydu.
The labour of the foolish wearieth him, In that he hath not known to go unto the city.
16 I zémin, padishahing bala bolsa, emirliring seherde ziyapet ötküzse, halinggha way!
Woe to thee, O land, when thy king [is] a youth, And thy princes do eat 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 art thou, O land, When thy king [is] a son of freemen, And thy princes do eat in due season, For might, and not for drunkenness.
18 Hurunluqtin öyning torusi ghulay dep qalidu; qollarning boshluqidin öydin yamghur ötidu.
By slothfulness is the wall brought low, And by idleness of the hands doth the house drop.
19 Ziyapet külke üchün teyyarlinar, sharab hayatni xush qilar; lékin pul hemme ishni hel qilar!
For mirth they are making a feast, And wine maketh life joyful, And the silver answereth with all.
20 Padishahqa lenet qilma, hetta oyungdimu tillima; hujrangdimu baylarni tillima; chünki asmandiki bir qush awazingni taritidu, bir qanat igisi bu ishni ayan qilidu.
Even in thy mind a king revile not, And in the inner parts of thy bed-chamber Revile not the rich: For a fowl of the heavens causeth the voice to go, And a possessor of wings declareth the word.
