Dono kishining ishlari
1 Noningni suvga tashla, bir necha kundan keyin uni yana topasan. 2 Bu dunyoda qanday kulfat kelishini bilmaysan, shuning uchun narsalaringni yetti, hatto sakkiz kishiga boʻlib bergin .
3 Bulutlar toʻlganda, yerga yomgʻir yogʻadi, daraxt shimol tomonga yoki janub tomonga yiqilsa ham, oʻsha yiqilgan joyida yotaveradi. 4 Shamolni koʻrib qoʻrqqan hech qachon urugʻ ekmaydi, yomgʻirdan xavfsirab, bulutni kuzatgan hech qachon hosil oʻrmaydi. 5 Onaning bachadonidagi bolaga qanday qilib jon kirishini bilmaganingdek, hamma narsani sodir qiladigan Xudoning ishlarini bilmaysan. 6 Urugʻlaringni ertalab ekkin, kechqurun ham qoʻllaring boʻsh oʻtirmasin, chunki sen qaysi biri — unisimi yoki bunisimi yaxshi oʻsishini bilmaysan, balki ikkalasi ham yaxshi oʻsar.
Yoshlarga maslahat
7 Yorugʻlik lazzatlidir, quyoshni koʻrish koʻzlar uchun ham yoqimlidir. 8 Uzoq yillar yashaydiganlar ham har bir yashagan kunlaridan zavq olsin, hali koʻp qorongʻilik kunlari boʻlishini esda tutsin. Hamma keladigan narsalar yelday oʻtib ketadi . 9 Ey yigit, yoshligingda rohatlan, yuraging seni zavqlantirsin. Koʻngling orzu qilgan, koʻzlaring xohlagan ishni qilgin, lekin bilib qoʻy, har bir qilgan ishing uchun Xudo seni hukm qiladi. 10 Qaygʻurmagin, tanang ogʻriqni bilmasin, chunki yoshlik, hayot tongi yelday tez oʻtib ketadi.
1 Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days. 2 Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth. 3 If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be. 4 He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap. 5 As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all. 6 In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.
7 ¶ Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun: 8 But if a man live many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity.
9 ¶ Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment. 10 Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.
