Hékmet toplighuchi 7
1 Yaxshi nam-abroy qimmetlik tutiyadin ewzel; ademning ölüsh küni tughulush künidin ewzeldur.
A good name is better than fine perfume; and the day of death better than the day of one’s birth.
2 Matem tutush öyige bérish ziyapet-toy öyige bérishtin ewzel; chünki ashu yerde insanning aqiwiti ayan qilinidu; tirik bolghanlar buni könglige püküshi kérek.
It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting; for that is the end of all men, and the living should take this to heart.
3 Gheshlik külkidin ewzeldur; chünki chirayning perishanliqi bilen qelb yaxshilinidu.
Sorrow is better than laughter; for by the sadness of the face the heart is made good.
4 Dana kishining qelbi matem tutush öyide, biraq exmeqning qelbi tamashining öyididur.
The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.
5 Exmeqlerning naxshisini anglighandin köre, dana kishining tenbihini anglighin;
It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise than for a man to hear the song of fools.
6 Chünki exmeqning külkisi qazan astidiki yantaqlarning paraslishidek, xalas; bumu bimeniliktur.
For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool. This also is vanity.
7 Jebir-zulum dana ademni nadan’gha aylanduridu, Para bolsa qelbni halak qilidu.
Surely extortion makes the wise man foolish; and a bribe destroys the understanding.
8 Ishning ayighi béshidin ewzel; Sewr-taqetlik roh tekebbur rohtin ewzeldur.
Better is the end of a thing than its beginning. The patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.
9 Rohingda xapa bolushqa aldirima; Chünki xapiliq exmeqlerning baghrida qonup yatidu.
Don’t be hasty in your spirit to be angry, for anger rests in the bosom of fools.
10 «Némishqa burunqi künler hazirqi künlerdin ewzel?» — déme; chünki séning bundaq sorighining danaliqtin emes.
Don’t say, “Why were the former days better than these?” For you do not ask wisely about this.
11 Danaliq mirasqa oxshash yaxshi ish, quyash nuri körgüchilerge paydiliqtur.
Wisdom is as good as an inheritance. Yes, it is more excellent for those who see the sun.
12 Chünki danaliq pul panah bolghandek, panah bolidu; biraq danaliqning ewzelliki shuki, u öz igilirini hayatqa érishtüridu.
For wisdom is a defense, even as money is a defense; but the excellency of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the life of him who has it.
13 Xudaning qilghanlirini oylap kör; chünki U egri qilghanni kim tüz qilalisun?
Consider the work of God, for who can make that straight which he has made crooked?
14 Awat künide huzur al; we yaman künidimu shuni oylap kör: — Xuda ularning birini, shundaqla yene birinimu teng yaratqandur; shuning bilen insan özi ketkendin kéyin bolidighan ishlarni bilip yételmeydu.
In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider; yes, God has made the one side by side with the other, to the end that man should not find out anything after him.
15 Men buning hemmisini bimene künlirimde körüp yettim; heqqaniy bir ademning öz heqqaniyliqi bilen yoqilip ketkenlikini kördüm, shuningdek rezil bir ademning öz rezilliki bilen ömrini uzaratqanliqini kördüm.
All this I have seen in my days of vanity: there is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man who lives long in his evildoing.
16 Özüngni dep heddidin ziyade heqqaniy bolma; we özüngni dep heddidin ziyade dana bolma; sen öz-özüngni alaqzade qilmaqchimusen?
Don’t be overly righteous, neither make yourself overly wise. Why should you destroy yourself?
17 Özüngni dep heddidin ziyade rezil bolma, yaki exmeq bolma; öz ejiling toshmay turup ölmekchimusen?
Don’t be too wicked, neither be foolish. Why should you die before your time?
18 Shunga, bu [agahni] ching tut, shuningdin u [agahnimu] qolungdin bermigining yaxshi; chünki Xudadin qorqidighan kishi her ikkisi bilen utuqluq bolidu.
It is good that you should take hold of this. Yes, also don’t withdraw your hand from that; for he who fears God will come out of them all.
19 Danaliq dana kishini bir sheherni bashquridighan on hökümrandin ziyade küchlük qilidu.
Wisdom is a strength to the wise man more than ten rulers who are in a city.
20 Berheq, yer yüzide daim méhribanliq yürgüzidighan, gunah sadir qilmaydighan heqqaniy adem yoqtur.
Surely there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and doesn’t sin.
21 Yene, xeqlerning hemmila gep-sözlirige anche diqqet qilip ketme; bolmisa, öz xizmetkaringning sanga lenet oqughanliqini anglap qélishing mumkin.
Also don’t take heed to all words that are spoken, lest you hear your servant curse you;
22 Chünki könglüngde, özüngningmu shuninggha oxshash bashqilargha köp qétim lenet qilghanliqingni obdan bilisen.
for often your own heart knows that you yourself have likewise cursed others.
23 Bularning hemmisini danaliq bilen sinap baqtim; men: «Dana bolimen» désemmu, emma u mendin yiraq idi.
All this I have proved in wisdom. I said, “I will be wise;” but it was far from me.
24 Barliq yüz bergen ishlar bolsa eqlimizdin yiraq, shuningdek intayin sirliqtur; kim uni izdep bilip yételisun?
That which is, is far off and exceedingly deep. Who can find it out?
25 Men chin könglümdin danaliq we eqliy bilimni bilishke, sürüshtürüshke we izdeshke, shundaqla rezillikning exmeqliqini, exmeqliqning telwilik ikenlikini bilip yétishke zéhnimni yighdim.
I turned around, and my heart sought to know and to search out, and to seek wisdom and the scheme of things, and to know that wickedness is stupidity, and that foolishness is madness.
26 Shuning bilen köngli tor we qiltaq, qolliri asaret bolghan ayalning ölümdin achchiq ikenlikini bayqidim; Xudani xursen qilidighan kishi uningdin özini qachuridu, biraq gunahkar adem uninggha tutulup qalidu.
I find more bitter than death the woman whose heart is snares and traps, whose hands are chains. Whoever pleases God shall escape from her; but the sinner will be ensnared by her.
27 Bu bayqighanlirimgha qara, — deydu hékmet toplighuchi — pakitlarni bir-birige baghlap sélishturup, eqil izdidim;
“Behold, I have found this,” says the Preacher, “to one another, to find an explanation
28 méning qelbim uni yenila izdimekte, biraq téxi tapalmidim! — Ming kishi arisida bir durus erkekni taptim — biraq shu ming kishi arisidin birmu durus ayalni tapalmidim.
which my soul still seeks, but I have not found. I have found one man among a thousand, but I have not found a woman among all those.
29 Mana körgin, méning bayqighanlirim peqet mushu birla — Xuda ademni esli durus yaratqan; biraq ademler bolsa nurghunlighan hiyle-mikirlerni izdeydu.
Behold, I have only found this: that God made mankind upright; but they search for many inventions.”
