Hékmet toplighuchi 2
1 Men könglümde: «Qéni, men özümge tamashining temini tétighuzup baqimen; könglüm échilsun!» — dédim. Biraq mana, bumu bimeniliktur.
[Then] I said to myself, “Okay, I will try to do everything that I enjoy. I will find out whether doing what I enjoy can truly enable me to be happy.” But I found out that doing that was also useless/senseless.
2 Men külke-chaqchaqqa «Telwilik!» we tamashigha «Uning zadi néme paydisi?» — dédim.
[So] I said [to myself], “It is foolish to laugh [all the time], and continually doing what I enjoy does not seem to bring any lasting benefit.”
3 Könglümde öz bedinimni sharab bilen qandaq rohlandurghili bolidighanliqini (danaliq bilen özümni yétekligen halda) bilishke bérilip izdendim, shuningdek «sanaqliq künliride insan balilirigha yaxshiliq yetküzidighan néme paydiliq ishlar bar?» dégen tügünni yeshsem dep exmiqanilikni qandaq tutup yétishim kéreklikini intilip izdidim.
[So], after thinking a lot about it, I decided to (cheer myself/cause myself to be happy) by drinking [a lot of] wine. [So] while I was still trying to be wise, I decided to do things that [many] people do to be happy during the short time that they are alive on the earth.
4 Men ulugh qurulushlargha kirishtim; özüm üchün öylerni saldim; özüm üchün üzümzarlarni tiktim;
I did great things: I [caused] houses to be built for myself and vineyards to be planted.
5 Özüm üchün shahane bagh-baghchilarni yasidim; ularda herxil méwe béridighan derexlerni tiktim;
I [told my workers] to make gardens and parks. [Then] I [told them to] fill the gardens with many kinds of fruit trees.
6 Özüm üchün ormandiki baraqsan derexlerni obdan sughirish üchün, kölcheklerni yasap chiqtim;
I [told them to] build reservoirs to store water to irrigate the fruit trees.
7 Qullargha we dédeklerge ige boldum; öyümde ulardin tughulghanlarmu méningki idi; Yérusalémda mendin ilgiri bolghanlarning hemmisiningkidin köp mal-waranlar, qoy we kala padilirim bar boldi.
I bought male and female slaves, and babies [who later became my slaves] were born in my palace. I also owned more livestock than any of the previous kings in Jerusalem had owned.
8 Öz-özümge altun-kümüshlerni, padishahlarning hem herqaysi ölkilerning herxil etiwarliq alahide göherlirini yighdim; qiz-yigit naxshichilargha hemde adem balilirining dilköyerlirige, yeni köpligen güzel kénizeklerge ige boldum.
I also accumulated large amounts of silver and gold [that were paid to me] from the treasures of kings and rulers of provinces. [I hired] men and women to sing for me, and I had many (concubines/slave wives) who gave me [much] pleasure [EUP].
9 Ulugh boldum, Yérusalémda mendin ilgiri bolghanlarning hemmisidin ziyade ronaq taptim; shundaq bolghini bilen danaliqim mendin ketmidi.
So, I became greater than anyone else who had ever lived in Jerusalem, and I was [very] wise.
10 Közlirimge néme yaqqan bolsa, men shuni uningdin ayimidim; öz könglümge héchqandaq xushalliqni yaq démidim; chünki könglüm barliq ejrimdin shadlandi; mana, bular öz ejrimdin bolghan nésiwem idi.
I got everything [LIT] that I [SYN] saw and wanted. I did everything [LIT] that I thought would enable me to be happy. All those things that I [SYN] enjoyed were [like] a reward for all my hard work.
11 Andin öz qolum yasighanlirining hemmisige, shundaqla singdürgen ejrimning netijisige qarisam, mana, hemmisi bimenilik we shamalni qoghlighandek ish idi; bular quyash astidiki héch paydisi yoq ishlardur.
[But] then I thought about all the hard work that I [SYN] had done [to get all those things], and none of it seems to bring any lasting benefit [DOU]. It was all [like] chasing the wind.
12 Andin zéhnimni yighip uni danaliqqa, telwilik we exmiqanilikke qarashqa qoydum; chünki padishahtin kéyin turidighan adem néme qilalaydu? — qilsimu alliqachan qilin’ghan ishlardin ibaret bolidu, xalas!
Then I started to think about being wise, and [also about] being foolish [DOU]. [I said to myself, “I certainly do not think that] [RHQ] the next king will be able to do anything better than I can.”
13 Shuning bilen nur qarangghuluqtin ewzel bolghandek, danaliqning bigherezliktin ewzellikini körüp yettim.
And I thought, “Surely it is better to be wise than to be foolish, like light is better than darkness,
14 Dana kishining közliri béshididur, exmeq bolsa qarangghuluqta mangidu; biraq ulargha oxshash birla ishning bolidighanliqini chüshinip yettim.
[because] wise people [walk in the daylight and] [IDM] can see where they are going, but foolish people walk in the darkness [and cannot see where they are going].” But I [also] realized that both wise people and foolish people eventually die.
15 Könglümde: «Exmeqke bolidighan ish mangimu oxshash bolidu; emdi méning shundaq dana bolushumning zadi néme paydisi?!» — dédim. Andin men könglümde: «Bu ishmu oxshashla bimeniliktur!» — dédim.
So I said to myself, “I am very wise, but I will [die at the end of my life], like foolish people do. So (how has it benefited me to be very wise?/it certainly has not benefited me to be very wise [RHQ]). I do not understand why [people consider that] it is valuable to be wise.
16 Chünki menggüge dana kishi exmeqke nisbeten héch artuq eslenmeydu; chünki kelgüsidiki künlerde hemme ish alliqachan untulup kétidu; emdi dana kishi qandaq ölidu? — Exmeq kishi bilen bille!
Wise people and foolish people all die. And after we die, we will all eventually be forgotten [DOU].”
17 Shunga men hayatqa öch boldum; chünki quyash astida qilin’ghan ishlar manga éghir kéletti; hemmisi bimenilik we shamalni qoghlighandek ish idi.
So I hated being alive, because everything that we do here on the earth [MTY] distresses me. It all seems to be useless [like] chasing the wind.
18 Shuningdek men quyash astidiki barliq ejrimge öch boldum; chünki buni mendin kéyin kelgen kishige qaldurmasliqqa amalim yoq idi.
I [also began to] hate all the hard work that I had done, because [when I die], everything [that I have acquired] will belong to the next king.
19 Uning dana yaki exmeq ikenlikini kim bilidu? U beribir men japaliq bilen singdürgen hemde danaliq bilen ada qilghan quyash astidiki barliq ejrim üstige höküm süridu. Bumu bimeniliktur.
And (who/no one) knows [RHQ] whether he will be wise or whether he will be foolish. But even if he is foolish, he will acquire all the things that I worked very hard and wisely to get.
20 Andin men rayimdin yandim, könglüm quyash astidiki japa tartqan barliq ejrimdin ümidsizlinip ketti.
I thought about all the hard work that I had done. [It seemed useless], and I became depressed/discouraged.
21 Chünki ejrini danaliq, bilim we ep bilen qilghan bir adem bar; biraq u ejrini uninggha héch ishlimigen bashqa birsining nésiwisi bolushqa qaldurushi kérek. Bumu bimenilik we intayin achchiq külpettur.
Some people work wisely and skillfully, using the things that they have learned. But [when they die], they leave everything, and someone who has not worked hard acquires those things. And that also [seemed to] be senseless and caused me to be discouraged.
22 Chünki insan quyash astida özini upritip, özining barliq emgikidin we könglining intilishliridin némige ige bolidu?
So, it seems that people do not [RHQ] get much for all the hard work that they do and for worrying.
23 Chünki uning barliq künliri azabliqtur, uning ejri gheshliktur; hetta kéchide uning köngli héch aram tapmaydu. Bumu bimeniliktur.
Every day the work that they do causes them to experience pain and to be worried. And during the night, their minds are not able to rest. That also is very frustrating.
24 Insan üchün shuningdin bashqa yaxshi ish yoqki, u yéyishi, ichishi, öz jénini öz ejridin huzur aldurushidin ibarettur; buni Xudaning qolidindur, dep körüp yettim.
[So I decided that] the best thing that we can do is to enjoy what we eat and drink, and [also] enjoy our work. And I realized that those things are what God intends for us.
25 Chünki uningsiz kim yéyelisun yaki bésip ishliyelisun?
There is absolutely no one [RHQ] who is able to enjoy those things if God does not give those things to him.
26 Chünki u öz nezirige yaqidighan ademge danaliq, bilim we shadliqni ata qilidu; biraq gunahkar ademge u mal-mülük yighip-toplashqa japaliq emgekni béridu, shuningdek u yighip-toplighinini Xudaning neziride yaxshi bolghan’gha tapshuridighan qilidu. Bumu bimenilik we shamalni qoghlighandek ishtin ibarettur.
God enables those who please him to be wise, to know [many things], and to enjoy [many things]. But if sinful people work hard and become rich, God [can] take their money away from them and give it to those who please him. But that also is something that is difficult for me to understand. [Their working hard seems] useless, [like] chasing the wind.
