Ⱨekmǝt topliƣuqi 4
1 Andin mǝn ⱪaytidin zeⱨnimni yiƣip ⱪuyax astida daim boluwatⱪan barliⱪ zorluⱪ-zumbuluⱪni kɵrdüm; mana, ezilgǝnlǝrning kɵz yaxliri! Ularƣa ⱨeq tǝsǝlli bǝrgüqi yoⱪ idi; ularni ǝzgǝnlǝrning küqlük yɵlǝnqüki bar idi, biraⱪ ezilgǝnlǝrgǝ ⱨeq tǝsǝlli bǝrgüqi yoⱪ idi.
I thought some more about all the suffering that people are caused to experience on the earth [MTY]. I saw the tears of people who were (oppressed/treated cruelly) and who had no one to comfort/encourage them. Those who oppressed them had power, and there was absolutely no one who was able to comfort those who were being oppressed.
2 Xunga mǝn alliⱪaqan ɵlüp kǝtkǝn ɵlgüqilǝrni tehi ⱨayat bolƣan tiriklǝrdin üstün dǝp tǝriplidim;
[So] I thought that those who are already dead are more fortunate than those who are still alive.
3 xundaⱪla bu ikki hil kixilǝrdin bǝhtliki tehi apiridǝ bolmiƣan kixidur; qünki u ⱪuyax astida ⱪilinƣan yamanliⱪlarni ⱨeq kɵrüp baⱪmiƣan.
And those who have not been born yet are more fortunate than those who are still alive and those who have died, [because] those who have not been born have not seen all the evil things that are done on the earth.
4 Andin mǝn barliⱪ ǝjir wǝ barliⱪ hizmǝtning utuⱪliridin xuni kɵrüp yǝttimki, u insanning yeⱪinini kɵrǝlmǝslikidin bolidu. Bumu bimǝnilik wǝ Xamalni ⱪoƣliƣandǝk ixtur.
I also thought about all the hard work that people do and the skills that they have. And I thought about how they compete with each other because they are envious of others, [and I concluded that] this also is something that is not accomplishing anything useful, [like] chasing the wind.
5 Əhmǝⱪ ⱪol ⱪoxturup, ɵz gɵxini yǝydu.
Foolish people [refuse to work]; they sit idly, with their hands folded, [and do not work]. [So] they ruin themselves.
6 Japa qekip xamalni ⱪoƣlap oqumini toxⱪuzimǝn degǝndin, qanggilini toxⱪuzup hatirjǝmliktǝ bolux ǝladur.
[So I say], “It is better to be content with not having much money, than to work very hard and try to get a lot of money, which is [as useless as] chasing the wind.”
7 Mǝn yǝnǝ zeⱨnimni yiƣip, ⱪuyax astidiki bir bimǝnilikni kɵrdum;
I thought about something else that happens on the earth [MTY] that seems senseless.
8 birsi yalƣuz, tikǝndǝk bolsimu, xundaⱪla nǝ oƣli nǝ aka-ukisi bolmisimu — biraⱪ uning japasining ahiri bolmaydu, uning kɵzi bayliⱪlarƣa toymaydu. U: «Mǝn bundaⱪ japaliⱪ ixlǝp, jenimdin zadi kimgǝ yahxiliⱪ ⱪaldurimǝn?» — degǝnni sorimaydu. Bumu bimǝnilik wǝ eƣir japadin ibarǝttur.
There are men who live alone; they do not have a wife or children or any brothers living with them; every day they work [very hard], without stopping, to get a lot of money, but they are never satisfied with the things that they have. They never ask [themselves], “Why am I working very hard to earn more money? Why am I not doing things that would cause me to be happy?” What they do also seems senseless.
9 Ikki birdin yahxidur; qünki ikki bolsa ǝmgikidin yahxi in’am alidu.
Having someone [work] with you is better than being by yourself [all the time]. If you have a friend, he can help you to do your work.
10 Yiⱪilip kǝtsǝ, birsi ⱨǝmraⱨini yɵlǝp kɵtüridu; biraⱪ yalƣuz ⱨalǝttǝ yiⱪilip kǝtsǝ, yɵligüdǝk baxⱪa birsi yoⱪ bolsa, bu kixining ⱨaliƣa way!
If you fall down, he can help you get up again. But if you fall down when you are alone, it will be difficult for you, because there will be no one to help you stand up.
11 Yǝnǝ, ikkisi billǝ yatsa, bir-birini illitidu; lekin birsi yalƣuz yatsa ⱪandaⱪ illitilsun?
Similarly, if two people sleep together, they can keep each other warm. But someone who sleeps alone will certainly not [RHQ] be warm.
12 Yǝnǝ, biraw yalƣuz bir adǝmni yengiwalƣan bolsa, ikkisi uningƣa taⱪabil turalaydu; xuningdǝk üq ⱪat arƣamqa asan üzülmǝs.
Someone who is alone can easily be attacked and defeated by another person, but two people can help each other and (resist/defend themselves against) someone who attacks them. [Three people can defend themselves even more easily], [like] a rope that is made from three cords is harder to break [than a rope made from two cords].
13 Kǝmbǝƣǝl ǝmma aⱪil yigit yǝnǝ nǝsiⱨǝtning ǝtiwarini ⱪilmaydiƣan ⱪeri ǝhmǝⱪ padixaⱨtin yahxidur;
A young man who is poor but wise is a better person than a foolish old king who refuses to pay attention when people try to give him good advice.
14 Qünki gǝrqǝ u bu padixaⱨning padixaⱨliⱪida kǝmbǝƣǝl bolup tuƣulƣan bolsimu, u zindandin tǝhtkǝ olturuxⱪa qiⱪti.
It is possible for a young man like that to succeed and some day become king, even if his parents were poor or even if he was in prison some of the time.
15 Mǝn ⱪuyax astidiki barliⱪ tiriklǝrning axu ikkinqini, yǝni [padixaⱨning] ornini basⱪuqini, xu yigitni ⱪollaydiƣanliⱪini kɵrdum.
But then some other young man becomes king, and everyone (starts to support/is pleased with) him.
16 Barliⱪ hǝlⱪ, yǝni ularning aldida turƣan barliⱪ puⱪralar sanaⱪsiz bolsimu, biraⱪ ulardin keyinkilǝr yigittinmu razi bolmaydu; bumu bimǝnilik wǝ xamalni ⱪoƣliƣandǝk ixtur.
Large crowds of people crowd around him. But after a few years, they will reject him, [too]. So it is all senseless, [like] chasing after the wind.
