Ⱨekmǝt topliƣuqi 1
1 Yerusalemda padixaⱨ bolƣan, Dawutning oƣli «Ⱨekmǝt topliƣuqi»ning sɵzliri: —
Here are the words of the Teacher, the king of Jerusalem, David's son.
2 «Bimǝnilik üstigǝ bimǝnilik!» — dǝydu «Ⱨekmǝt topliƣuqi» — «Bimǝnilik üstigǝ bimǝnilik! Ⱨǝmmǝ ix bimǝniliktur!»
“Everything passes—it's so temporary! It's all so hard to understand!” says the Teacher.
3 Ⱪuyax astida tartⱪan japaliridin insan nemǝ paydiƣa erixǝr?
What benefit do you get for slaving away in this life?
4 Bir dǝwr ɵtidu, yǝnǝ bir dǝwr kelidu; Biraⱪ yǝr-zemin mǝnggügǝ dawam ⱪilidu;
People come, and people go, but the earth lasts forever!
5 Kün qiⱪidu, kün patidu; Wǝ qiⱪidiƣan jayƣa ⱪarap yǝnǝ aldirap mangidu.
The sun comes up, and the sun goes down, and then rushes to its place to rise again.
6 Xamal jǝnubⱪa ⱪarap soⱪidu; Andin burulup ximalƣa ⱪarap soⱪidu; U aylinip-aylinip, Ⱨǝrdaim ɵz aylanma yoliƣa ⱪaytidu.
The wind blows south, and then turns to the north. Round and round it spins, finally coming full circle.
7 Barliⱪ dǝryalar dengizƣa ⱪarap aⱪidu, biraⱪ dengiz tolmaydu; Dǝryalar ⱪaysi jayƣa aⱪⱪan bolsa, Ular yǝnǝ xu yǝrgǝ ⱪaytidu.
Streams all flow into the sea, but the sea never becomes full. The streams return to the place from where they came.
8 Barliⱪ ixlar japaƣa tolƣandur; Uni eytip tügǝtküqi adǝm yoⱪtur; Kɵz kɵrüxtin, Ⱪulaⱪ anglaxtin ⱨǝrgiz toymaydu.
Everything just keeps on going. You can't say all there is to say. You can't see all there is to see. You can't hear all there is to hear.
9 Bolƣan ixlar yǝnǝ bolidiƣan ixlardur; Ⱪilƣan ixlar yǝnǝ ⱪilinidu; Ⱪuyax astida ⱨeqⱪandaⱪ yengiliⱪ yoⱪtur.
Everything that was will continue to be; everything that has been done will be done again. Nothing new ever happens here.
10 «Mana, bu yengi ix» degili bolidiƣan ix barmu? U bǝribir bizdin burunⱪi dǝwrlǝrdǝ alliⱪaqan bolup ɵtkǝn ixlardur.
There's nothing anyone can point to and say, “Look! Here's something new.” In fact it's been around for ages, long before our time.
11 Burunⱪi ixlar ⱨazir ⱨeq ǝslǝnmǝydu; Wǝ kǝlgüsidǝ bolidiƣan ixlarmu ulardin keyin yaxaydiƣanlarning esigǝ ⱨeq kǝlmǝydu.
The problem is we don't remember people from the past, and people in the future won't remember those who came before them.
12 Mǝnki ⱨekmǝt topliƣuqi Yerusalemda Israilƣa padixaⱨ bolƣanmǝn;
I am the Teacher, and I was king over Israel, reigning from 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!
I decided to focus my mind to explore, using wisdom, everything that happens here on earth. This is a tough assignment that God has given people to keep them busy!
14 Mǝn ⱪuyax astidiki barliⱪ ⱪilinƣan ixlarni kɵrüp qiⱪtim, — Mana, ⱨǝmmisi bimǝnilik wǝ xamalni ⱪoƣliƣandǝk ixtin ibarǝttur.
I examined everything people do here on earth, and discovered that it's all so temporary—trying to understand it is like trying to pin down the wind!
15 Əgrini tüz ⱪilƣili bolmas; Kǝmni toluⱪ dǝp saniƣili bolmas.
You can't straighten what is twisted, and you can't count what isn't there.
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 thought to myself, “I've become very wise, wiser than all the kings of Jerusalem before me. My mind has gained a great deal of wisdom and knowledge.”
17 Xuning bilǝn danaliⱪni bilixkǝ, xuningdǝk tǝlwilik wǝ ǝhmiⱪanilikni bilip yetixkǝ kɵngül ⱪoydum; muxu ixnimu xamal ⱪoƣliƣandǝk ix dǝp bilip yǝttim.
So I decided to use my mind to learn everything about wisdom, and madness and foolishness as well. But I found out that this is as hard as trying to catch hold of the wind.
18 Qünki danaliⱪning kɵp boluxi bilǝn azab-oⱪubǝtmu kɵp bolidu; bilimini kɵpǝytküqining dǝrd-ǝlimimu kɵpiydu.
For with great wisdom comes great frustration. The greater the knowledge, the greater the pain.
