Hékmet toplighuchi 6

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

There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is heavy upon 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.

a man to whom God giveth riches, wealth, and honour, so that 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 it is an evil disease.

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 children, and live many years, so that the days of his years are many, but his soul have not enough of good, and moreover he have no burial; I say, that 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 the name thereof is covered with darkness;

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

moreover it hath not seen the sun nor known it; this hath gratification 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 a thousand years twice told, and enjoy 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 more than the fool? or the poor man that hath understanding, in walking 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 a striving after wind.

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

Whatsoever cometh into being, the name thereof was given long ago, and it is foreknown what man is; neither can he contend with Him that is mightier than he.

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

Seeing there are many words that increase vanity, what is man the better?

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