Ⱨekmǝt topliƣuqi 1
1 Yerusalemda padixaⱨ bolƣan, Dawutning oƣli «Ⱨekmǝt topliƣuqi»ning sɵzliri: —
[I am Solomon], the son of [King] David. [I rule] in Jerusalem [and people call me] ‘The (Preacher/Religious Teacher)’.
2 «Bimǝnilik üstigǝ bimǝnilik!» — dǝydu «Ⱨekmǝt topliƣuqi» — «Bimǝnilik üstigǝ bimǝnilik! Ⱨǝmmǝ ix bimǝniliktur!»
I say that everything is mysterious; everything is hard for me to understand; it is difficult to understand why everything happens.
3 Ⱪuyax astida tartⱪan japaliridin insan nemǝ paydiƣa erixǝr?
(What do people gain from all the work that they do here on the earth?/It seems that people gain no lasting benefit from all the work that they do here on the earth.) [RHQ]
4 Bir dǝwr ɵtidu, yǝnǝ bir dǝwr kelidu; Biraⱪ yǝr-zemin mǝnggügǝ dawam ⱪilidu;
[Each year] old people die and babies are born, but the earth never changes.
5 Kün qiⱪidu, kün patidu; Wǝ qiⱪidiƣan jayƣa ⱪarap yǝnǝ aldirap mangidu.
[Each morning] the sun rises, and [each evening] it sets, and [then] it hurries around to where it started from.
6 Xamal jǝnubⱪa ⱪarap soⱪidu; Andin burulup ximalƣa ⱪarap soⱪidu; U aylinip-aylinip, Ⱨǝrdaim ɵz aylanma yoliƣa ⱪaytidu.
The wind blows south, and then it [turns around to start blowing towards] the north. It goes around and around in circles.
7 Barliⱪ dǝryalar dengizƣa ⱪarap aⱪidu, biraⱪ dengiz tolmaydu; Dǝryalar ⱪaysi jayƣa aⱪⱪan bolsa, Ular yǝnǝ xu yǝrgǝ ⱪaytidu.
All the streams flow into the sea, but the sea is never full. The water returns [to the sky], and [when it rains], the water returns to the rivers, and it flows again to the sea.
8 Barliⱪ ixlar japaƣa tolƣandur; Uni eytip tügǝtküqi adǝm yoⱪtur; Kɵz kɵrüxtin, Ⱪulaⱪ anglaxtin ⱨǝrgiz toymaydu.
Everything is boring, [with the result that] we do not even want to talk about it. We [SYN] see things, but we always want to see more. We [SYN] hear things, but we always want to hear more.
9 Bolƣan ixlar yǝnǝ bolidiƣan ixlardur; Ⱪilƣan ixlar yǝnǝ ⱪilinidu; Ⱪuyax astida ⱨeqⱪandaⱪ yengiliⱪ yoⱪtur.
[Everything continues to be the same as it has always been]; things that happen have happened previously, and they will happen again. What has been done before will be done again. There is nothing [really] new in this world [MTY].
10 «Mana, bu yengi ix» degili bolidiƣan ix barmu? U bǝribir bizdin burunⱪi dǝwrlǝrdǝ alliⱪaqan bolup ɵtkǝn ixlardur.
Sometimes people say, “Look at this! This is something new [RHQ]!” But it has existed previously; it existed before we were born.
11 Burunⱪi ixlar ⱨazir ⱨeq ǝslǝnmǝydu; Wǝ kǝlgüsidǝ bolidiƣan ixlarmu ulardin keyin yaxaydiƣanlarning esigǝ ⱨeq kǝlmǝydu.
[People] do not remember the things [that happened] long ago, and in the future, people will not remember what we are doing now.
12 Mǝnki ⱨekmǝt topliƣuqi Yerusalemda Israilƣa padixaⱨ bolƣanmǝn;
I, the Religious Teacher, have been the king of Israel [for many years, ruling] in Jerusalem.
13 Mǝn danaliⱪ bilǝn asmanlar astida barliⱪ ⱪilinƣan ixlarni ⱪetirⱪinip izdǝxkǝ kɵngül ⱪoydum — Hulasǝm xuki, Huda insan balilirining ɵz-ɵzini bǝnd ⱪilip upritix üqün, ularƣa bu eƣir japani tǝⱪdim ⱪilƣan!
By being wise, I concentrated on understanding everything that was being done on the earth [MTY]. [But I found out that] God causes [all of] us to experience things that cause us to be unhappy/miserable.
14 Mǝn ⱪuyax astidiki barliⱪ ⱪilinƣan ixlarni kɵrüp qiⱪtim, — Mana, ⱨǝmmisi bimǝnilik wǝ xamalni ⱪoƣliƣandǝk ixtin ibarǝttur.
It seems that nothing that happens on the earth really enables us to do anything useful. It is [like] [MET] chasing the wind.
15 Əgrini tüz ⱪilƣili bolmas; Kǝmni toluⱪ dǝp saniƣili bolmas.
[Many] things that are crooked cannot be caused to become straight; we cannot count things that do not exist.
16 Mǝn ɵz kɵnglümdǝ oylinip: «Mana, mǝn uluƣlinip, mǝndin ilgiri Yerusalem üstigǝ barliⱪ ⱨɵküm sürgǝnlǝrdin kɵp danaliⱪⱪa erixtim; mening kɵnglüm nurƣun danaliⱪ wǝ bilimgǝ erixti» — dedim.
I said to myself, “[Hey], I am wiser than any of the kings that ruled in Jerusalem before I [became the king]. I am wiser and I know more than any of them!”
17 Xuning bilǝn danaliⱪni bilixkǝ, xuningdǝk tǝlwilik wǝ ǝhmiⱪanilikni bilip yetixkǝ kɵngül ⱪoydum; muxu ixnimu xamal ⱪoƣliƣandǝk ix dǝp bilip yǝttim.
[So] I determined to learn [more] about being wise and to learn about knowing about many things, and [also] to learn about [doing things that are] very foolish [DOU]. [But] I found out that trying to understand those things was also [useless, like] chasing the wind.
18 Qünki danaliⱪning kɵp boluxi bilǝn azab-oⱪubǝtmu kɵp bolidu; bilimini kɵpǝytküqining dǝrd-ǝlimimu kɵpiydu.
The wiser I became, the more disappointed I became. The more things I knew about, the sadder I became.
