Hékmet toplighuchi 4
1 Andin men qaytidin zéhnimni yighip quyash astida daim boluwatqan barliq zorluq-zumbuluqni kördüm; mana, ézilgenlerning köz yashliri! Ulargha héch teselli bergüchi yoq idi; ularni ezgenlerning küchlük yölenchüki bar idi, biraq ézilgenlerge héch teselli bergüchi yoq idi.
I thought some more about all the suffering that people are caused to experience on the earth [MTY]. I saw the tears of people who were (oppressed/treated cruelly) and who had no one to comfort/encourage them. Those who oppressed them had power, and there was absolutely no one who was able to comfort those who were being oppressed.
2 Shunga men alliqachan ölüp ketken ölgüchilerni téxi hayat bolghan tiriklerdin üstün dep teriplidim;
[So] I thought that those who are already dead are more fortunate than those who are still alive.
3 shundaqla bu ikki xil kishilerdin bextliki téxi apiride bolmighan kishidur; chünki u quyash astida qilin’ghan yamanliqlarni héch körüp baqmighan.
And those who have not been born yet are more fortunate than those who are still alive and those who have died, [because] those who have not been born have not seen all the evil things that are done on the earth.
4 Andin men barliq ejir we barliq xizmetning utuqliridin shuni körüp yettimki, u insanning yéqinini körelmeslikidin bolidu. Bumu bimenilik we Shamalni qoghlighandek ishtur.
I also thought about all the hard work that people do and the skills that they have. And I thought about how they compete with each other because they are envious of others, [and I concluded that] this also is something that is not accomplishing anything useful, [like] chasing the wind.
5 Exmeq qol qoshturup, öz göshini yeydu.
Foolish people [refuse to work]; they sit idly, with their hands folded, [and do not work]. [So] they ruin themselves.
6 Japa chékip shamalni qoghlap ochumini toshquzimen dégendin, changgilini toshquzup xatirjemlikte bolush eladur.
[So I say], “It is better to be content with not having much money, than to work very hard and try to get a lot of money, which is [as useless as] chasing the wind.”
7 Men yene zéhnimni yighip, quyash astidiki bir bimenilikni kördum;
I thought about something else that happens on the earth [MTY] that seems senseless.
8 birsi yalghuz, tikendek bolsimu, shundaqla ne oghli ne aka-ukisi bolmisimu — biraq uning japasining axiri bolmaydu, uning közi bayliqlargha toymaydu. U: «Men bundaq japaliq ishlep, jénimdin zadi kimge yaxshiliq qaldurimen?» — dégenni sorimaydu. Bumu bimenilik we éghir japadin ibarettur.
There are men who live alone; they do not have a wife or children or any brothers living with them; every day they work [very hard], without stopping, to get a lot of money, but they are never satisfied with the things that they have. They never ask [themselves], “Why am I working very hard to earn more money? Why am I not doing things that would cause me to be happy?” What they do also seems senseless.
9 Ikki birdin yaxshidur; chünki ikki bolsa emgikidin yaxshi in’am alidu.
Having someone [work] with you is better than being by yourself [all the time]. If you have a friend, he can help you to do your work.
10 Yiqilip ketse, birsi hemrahini yölep kötüridu; biraq yalghuz halette yiqilip ketse, yöligüdek bashqa birsi yoq bolsa, bu kishining haligha way!
If you fall down, he can help you get up again. But if you fall down when you are alone, it will be difficult for you, because there will be no one to help you stand up.
11 Yene, ikkisi bille yatsa, bir-birini illitidu; lékin birsi yalghuz yatsa qandaq illitilsun?
Similarly, if two people sleep together, they can keep each other warm. But someone who sleeps alone will certainly not [RHQ] be warm.
12 Yene, biraw yalghuz bir ademni yéngiwalghan bolsa, ikkisi uninggha taqabil turalaydu; shuningdek üch qat arghamcha asan üzülmes.
Someone who is alone can easily be attacked and defeated by another person, but two people can help each other and (resist/defend themselves against) someone who attacks them. [Three people can defend themselves even more easily], [like] a rope that is made from three cords is harder to break [than a rope made from two cords].
13 Kembeghel emma aqil yigit yene nesihetning etiwarini qilmaydighan qéri exmeq padishahtin yaxshidur;
A young man who is poor but wise is a better person than a foolish old king who refuses to pay attention when people try to give him good advice.
14 Chünki gerche u bu padishahning padishahliqida kembeghel bolup tughulghan bolsimu, u zindandin textke olturushqa chiqti.
It is possible for a young man like that to succeed and some day become king, even if his parents were poor or even if he was in prison some of the time.
15 Men quyash astidiki barliq tiriklerning ashu ikkinchini, yeni [padishahning] ornini basquchini, shu yigitni qollaydighanliqini kördum.
But then some other young man becomes king, and everyone (starts to support/is pleased with) him.
16 Barliq xelq, yeni ularning aldida turghan barliq puqralar sanaqsiz bolsimu, biraq ulardin kéyinkiler yigittinmu razi bolmaydu; bumu bimenilik we shamalni qoghlighandek ishtur.
Large crowds of people crowd around him. But after a few years, they will reject him, [too]. So it is all senseless, [like] chasing after the wind.
