1 Mǝn kɵnglümdǝ: «Ⱪeni, mǝn ɵzümgǝ tamaxining tǝmini tetiƣuzup baⱪimǝn; kɵnglüm eqilsun!» — dedim. Biraⱪ mana, bumu bimǝniliktur.
[Then] I said to myself, “Okay, I will try to do everything that I enjoy. I will find out whether doing what I enjoy can truly enable me to be happy.” But I found out that doing that was also useless/senseless.
2 Mǝn külkǝ-qaⱪqaⱪⱪa «Tǝlwilik!» wǝ tamaxiƣa «Uning zadi nemǝ paydisi?» — dedim.
[So] I said [to myself], “It is foolish to laugh [all the time], and continually doing what I enjoy does not seem to bring any lasting benefit.”
3 Kɵnglümdǝ ɵz bǝdinimni xarab bilǝn ⱪandaⱪ roⱨlandurƣili bolidiƣanliⱪini (danaliⱪ bilǝn ɵzümni yetǝkligǝn ⱨalda) bilixkǝ berilip izdǝndim, xuningdǝk «sanaⱪliⱪ künliridǝ insan baliliriƣa yahxiliⱪ yǝtküzidiƣan nemǝ paydiliⱪ ixlar bar?» degǝn tügünni yǝxsǝm dǝp ǝhmiⱪanilikni ⱪandaⱪ tutup yetixim kerǝklikini intilip izdidim.
[So], after thinking a lot about it, I decided to (cheer myself/cause myself to be happy) by drinking [a lot of] wine. [So] while I was still trying to be wise, I decided to do things that [many] people do to be happy during the short time that they are alive on the earth.
4 Mǝn uluƣ ⱪuruluxlarƣa kirixtim; ɵzüm üqün ɵylǝrni saldim; ɵzüm üqün üzümzarlarni tiktim;
I did great things: I [caused] houses to be built for myself and vineyards to be planted.
5 Ɵzüm üqün xaⱨanǝ baƣ-baƣqilarni yasidim; ularda ⱨǝrhil mewǝ beridiƣan dǝrǝhlǝrni tiktim;
I [told my workers] to make gardens and parks. [Then] I [told them to] fill the gardens with many kinds of fruit trees.
6 Ɵzüm üqün ormandiki baraⱪsan dǝrǝhlǝrni obdan suƣirix üqün, kɵlqǝklǝrni yasap qiⱪtim;
I [told them to] build reservoirs to store water to irrigate the fruit trees.
7 Ⱪullarƣa wǝ dedǝklǝrgǝ igǝ boldum; ɵyümdǝ ulardin tuƣulƣanlarmu meningki idi; Yerusalemda mǝndin ilgiri bolƣanlarning ⱨǝmmisiningkidin kɵp mal-waranlar, ⱪoy wǝ kala padilirim bar boldi.
I bought male and female slaves, and babies [who later became my slaves] were born in my palace. I also owned more livestock than any of the previous kings in Jerusalem had owned.
8 Ɵz-ɵzümgǝ altun-kümüxlǝrni, padixaⱨlarning ⱨǝm ⱨǝrⱪaysi ɵlkilǝrning ⱨǝrhil ǝtiwarliⱪ alaⱨidǝ gɵⱨǝrlirini yiƣdim; ⱪiz-yigit nahxiqilarƣa ⱨǝmdǝ adǝm balilirining dilkɵyǝrlirigǝ, yǝni kɵpligǝn güzǝl kenizǝklǝrgǝ igǝ boldum.
I also accumulated large amounts of silver and gold [that were paid to me] from the treasures of kings and rulers of provinces. [I hired] men and women to sing for me, and I had many (concubines/slave wives) who gave me [much] pleasure [EUP].
9 Uluƣ boldum, Yerusalemda mǝndin ilgiri bolƣanlarning ⱨǝmmisidin ziyadǝ ronaⱪ taptim; xundaⱪ bolƣini bilǝn danaliⱪim mǝndin kǝtmidi.
So, I became greater than anyone else who had ever lived in Jerusalem, and I was [very] wise.
10 Kɵzlirimgǝ nemǝ yaⱪⱪan bolsa, mǝn xuni uningdin ayimidim; ɵz kɵnglümgǝ ⱨeqⱪandaⱪ huxalliⱪni yaⱪ demidim; qünki kɵnglüm barliⱪ ǝjrimdin xadlandi; mana, bular ɵz ǝjrimdin bolƣan nesiwǝm idi.
I got everything [LIT] that I [SYN] saw and wanted. I did everything [LIT] that I thought would enable me to be happy. All those things that I [SYN] enjoyed were [like] a reward for all my hard work.
11 Andin ɵz ⱪolum yasiƣanlirining ⱨǝmmisigǝ, xundaⱪla singdürgǝn ǝjrimning nǝtijisigǝ ⱪarisam, mana, ⱨǝmmisi bimǝnilik wǝ xamalni ⱪoƣliƣandǝk ix idi; bular ⱪuyax astidiki ⱨeq paydisi yoⱪ ixlardur.
[But] then I thought about all the hard work that I [SYN] had done [to get all those things], and none of it seems to bring any lasting benefit [DOU]. It was all [like] chasing the wind.
12 Andin zeⱨnimni yiƣip uni danaliⱪⱪa, tǝlwilik wǝ ǝhmiⱪanilikkǝ ⱪaraxⱪa ⱪoydum; qünki padixaⱨtin keyin turidiƣan adǝm nemǝ ⱪilalaydu? — ⱪilsimu alliⱪaqan ⱪilinƣan ixlardin ibarǝt bolidu, halas!
Then I started to think about being wise, and [also about] being foolish [DOU]. [I said to myself, “I certainly do not think that] [RHQ] the next king will be able to do anything better than I can.”
13 Xuning bilǝn nur ⱪarangƣuluⱪtin ǝwzǝl bolƣandǝk, danaliⱪning biƣǝrǝzliktin ǝwzǝllikini kɵrüp yǝttim.
And I thought, “Surely it is better to be wise than to be foolish, like light is better than darkness,
14 Dana kixining kɵzliri bexididur, ǝhmǝⱪ bolsa ⱪarangƣuluⱪta mangidu; biraⱪ ularƣa ohxax birla ixning bolidiƣanliⱪini qüxinip yǝttim.
[because] wise people [walk in the daylight and] [IDM] can see where they are going, but foolish people walk in the darkness [and cannot see where they are going].” But I [also] realized that both wise people and foolish people eventually die.
15 Kɵnglümdǝ: «Əhmǝⱪkǝ bolidiƣan ix mangimu ohxax bolidu; ǝmdi mening xundaⱪ dana boluxumning zadi nemǝ paydisi?!» — dedim. Andin mǝn kɵnglümdǝ: «Bu ixmu ohxaxla bimǝniliktur!» — dedim.
So I said to myself, “I am very wise, but I will [die at the end of my life], like foolish people do. So (how has it benefited me to be very wise?/it certainly has not benefited me to be very wise [RHQ]). I do not understand why [people consider that] it is valuable to be wise.
16 Qünki mǝnggügǝ dana kixi ǝhmǝⱪkǝ nisbǝtǝn ⱨeq artuⱪ ǝslǝnmǝydu; qünki kǝlgüsidiki künlǝrdǝ ⱨǝmmǝ ix alliⱪaqan untulup ketidu; ǝmdi dana kixi ⱪandaⱪ ɵlidu? — Əhmǝⱪ kixi bilǝn billǝ!
Wise people and foolish people all die. And after we die, we will all eventually be forgotten [DOU].”
17 Xunga mǝn ⱨayatⱪa ɵq boldum; qünki ⱪuyax astida ⱪilinƣan ixlar manga eƣir kelǝtti; ⱨǝmmisi bimǝnilik wǝ xamalni ⱪoƣliƣandǝk ix idi.
So I hated being alive, because everything that we do here on the earth [MTY] distresses me. It all seems to be useless [like] chasing the wind.
18 Xuningdǝk mǝn ⱪuyax astidiki barliⱪ ǝjrimgǝ ɵq boldum; qünki buni mǝndin keyin kǝlgǝn kixigǝ ⱪaldurmasliⱪⱪa amalim yoⱪ idi.
I [also began to] hate all the hard work that I had done, because [when I die], everything [that I have acquired] will belong to the next king.
19 Uning dana yaki ǝhmǝⱪ ikǝnlikini kim bilidu? U bǝribir mǝn japaliⱪ bilǝn singdürgǝn ⱨǝmdǝ danaliⱪ bilǝn ada ⱪilƣan ⱪuyax astidiki barliⱪ ǝjrim üstigǝ ⱨɵküm süridu. Bumu bimǝniliktur.
And (who/no one) knows [RHQ] whether he will be wise or whether he will be foolish. But even if he is foolish, he will acquire all the things that I worked very hard and wisely to get.
20 Andin mǝn rayimdin yandim, kɵnglüm ⱪuyax astidiki japa tartⱪan barliⱪ ǝjrimdin ümidsizlinip kǝtti.
I thought about all the hard work that I had done. [It seemed useless], and I became depressed/discouraged.
21 Qünki ǝjrini danaliⱪ, bilim wǝ ǝp bilǝn ⱪilƣan bir adǝm bar; biraⱪ u ǝjrini uningƣa ⱨeq ixlimigǝn baxⱪa birsining nesiwisi boluxⱪa ⱪalduruxi kerǝk. Bumu bimǝnilik wǝ intayin aqqiⱪ külpǝttur.
Some people work wisely and skillfully, using the things that they have learned. But [when they die], they leave everything, and someone who has not worked hard acquires those things. And that also [seemed to] be senseless and caused me to be discouraged.
22 Qünki insan ⱪuyax astida ɵzini upritip, ɵzining barliⱪ ǝmgikidin wǝ kɵnglining intilixliridin nemigǝ igǝ bolidu?
So, it seems that people do not [RHQ] get much for all the hard work that they do and for worrying.
23 Qünki uning barliⱪ künliri azabliⱪtur, uning ǝjri ƣǝxliktur; ⱨǝtta keqidǝ uning kɵngli ⱨeq aram tapmaydu. Bumu bimǝniliktur.
Every day the work that they do causes them to experience pain and to be worried. And during the night, their minds are not able to rest. That also is very frustrating.
24 Insan üqün xuningdin baxⱪa yahxi ix yoⱪki, u yeyixi, iqixi, ɵz jenini ɵz ǝjridin ⱨuzur alduruxidin ibarǝttur; buni Hudaning ⱪolidindur, dǝp kɵrüp yǝttim.
[So I decided that] the best thing that we can do is to enjoy what we eat and drink, and [also] enjoy our work. And I realized that those things are what God intends for us.
25 Qünki uningsiz kim yeyǝlisun yaki besip ixliyǝlisun?
There is absolutely no one [RHQ] who is able to enjoy those things if God does not give those things to him.
26 Qünki u ɵz nǝzirigǝ yaⱪidiƣan adǝmgǝ danaliⱪ, bilim wǝ xadliⱪni ata ⱪilidu; biraⱪ gunaⱨkar adǝmgǝ u mal-mülük yiƣip-toplaxⱪa japaliⱪ ǝmgǝkni beridu, xuningdǝk u yiƣip-topliƣinini Hudaning nǝziridǝ yahxi bolƣanƣa tapxuridiƣan ⱪilidu. Bumu bimǝnilik wǝ xamalni ⱪoƣliƣandǝk ixtin ibarǝttur.
God enables those who please him to be wise, to know [many things], and to enjoy [many things]. But if sinful people work hard and become rich, God [can] take their money away from them and give it to those who please him. But that also is something that is difficult for me to understand. [Their working hard seems] useless, [like] chasing the wind.
