Hékmet toplighuchi 6

1 Quyash astida bir yaman ishni kördum; u ish ademler arisida köp körülidu —

There is an evil that I have seen under the sun, and it is frequent among men:

2 Xuda birsige bayliqlar, mal-dunya we izzet-hörmet teqsim qildi, shuning bilen uning öz köngli xalighinidin héchnersisi kem bolmidi; biraq Xuda uninggha bulardin huzur élishqa muyesser qilmidi, belki yat bir adem ulardin huzur alidu; mana bu bimenilik we éghir azabtur.

one to whom God giveth riches, wealth, and honour, and he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it: this is vanity, and a sore evil.

3 Birsi yüz bala körüp köp yil yashishi mumkin; biraq uning yil-künliri shunchilik köp bolsimu, uning jéni bextni körmise, hetta görni körmigen bolsimu, tughulup chachrap ketken bowaq uningdin ewzeldur deymen.

If a man beget a hundred [sons], and live many years, so that the days of his years be many, but his soul be not filled with good, and also he have no burial, I say an untimely birth is better than he.

4 Chünki chachrighan bala bimenilik bilen kélidu, qarangghuluqta kétidu, qarangghuluq uning ismini qaplaydu;

For it cometh in vanity, and departeth in darkness, and its name is covered with darkness;

5 U künnimu körmigen, bilmigen; biraq héch bolmighanda u birinchisige nisbeten aram tapqandur.

moreover it hath not seen nor known the sun: this hath rest rather than the other.

6 Berheq, héliqi kishi hetta ikki hesse ming yil yashighan bolsimu, biraq bextni körmise, ehwali oxshashtur — herbir kishi oxshash bir jaygha baridu emesmu?

Yea, though he live twice a thousand years, yet hath he seen no good: do not all go to one place?

7 Ademning tartqan barliq japasi öz aghzi üchündur; biraq uning ishtihasi hergiz qanmaydu.

All the labour of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.

8 Shundaqta dana kishining exmeqtin néme artuqchiliqi bolsun? Namrat kishi bashqilar aldida qandaq méngishni bilgen bolsimu, uning néme paydisi bolsun?

For what advantage hath the wise above the fool? what hath the poor, that knoweth to walk before the living?

9 Közning körüshi arzu-hewesning uyan-buyan yürüshidin ewzeldur. Bundaq qilishmu bimenilik we shamalni qoghlighandek ishtur.

Better is the seeing of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this also is vanity and pursuit of the wind.

10 Ötüp ketken ishlarning bolsa alliqachan nami békitilip atalghan; insanning néme ikenlikimu ayan bolghan; shunga insanning özidin qudretlik bolghuchi bilen qarshilishishigha bolmaydu.

That which is hath already been named; and what man is, is known, and that he cannot contend with him that is mightier than he.

11 Chünki gep qanche köp bolsa, bimenilik shunche köp bolidu; buning insan’gha néme paydisi?

For there are many things that increase vanity: what is man advantaged?

12 Chünki insanning ömride, yeni uning sayidek tézla ötidighan menisiz ömridiki barliq künliride uninggha némining paydiliq ikenlikini kim bilsun? Chünki insan’gha u ketkendin kéyin quyash astida néme ishning bolidighanliqini kim dep bérelisun?

For who knoweth what is good for man in life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell man what shall be after him under the sun?
