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] great on man:

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 wealth, and riches, and honour, and there is no lack to his soul of all that he desireth, and God giveth him not power to eat of it, 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 doth beget a hundred, and live many years, and is great, because they are the days of his years, and his soul is not satisfied from the goodness, and also he hath not had a grave, I have said, 'Better than he [is] the untimely birth.'

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

For in vanity he came in, and in darkness he goeth, and in darkness his name is covered,

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

Even the sun he hath not seen nor known, more rest hath this than that.

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

And though he had lived a thousand years twice over, yet good he hath not seen; to the same place doth not every one go?

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 soul 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 [is] to the wise above the fool? What to the poor who 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 sight of the eyes than the going of the soul. This also [is] vanity and vexation of spirit.

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

What [is] that which hath been? already is its name called, and it is known that it [is] man, and he is not able to contend with him who is stronger than he.

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

For there are many things multiplying vanity; what advantage [is] to man?

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 a man in life, the number of the days of the life of his vanity, and he maketh them as a shadow? for who declareth to man what is after him under the sun?
