Har narsaning vaqti bor
1 Bu dunyoda hamma narsaning oʻz tayinlangan payti bor, har bir ishning oʻz vaqti bor .
2 Tugʻilishning ham, oʻlishning ham oʻz vaqti bor.
Ekishning ham, ekilganni oʻrishning ham oʻz vaqti bor.

Buzishning ham, qurishning ham oʻz vaqti bor.
4 Yigʻlashning ham, kulishning ham oʻz vaqti bor.
Azaning ham, raqsning ham oʻz vaqti bor.
5 Tosh otishning ham, tosh yigʻishning ham oʻz vaqti bor.
Bagʻriga bosishning ham, undan oʻzini tiyishning ham oʻz vaqti bor.
6 Qidirishning ham, yoʻqotishning ham oʻz vaqti bor.
Saqlab qoʻyishning ham, tashlab yuborishning ham oʻz vaqti bor.

9 Shuncha mehnat qilib inson qanday foyda topadi? 10 Insonlar qilishi uchun Xudo bergan mushkul ishni koʻrdim. 11 Xudo aytgani boʻyicha hamma narsa oʻz vaqtida sodir boʻladi. Xudo yuragiga solgani uchun inson vaqt oʻtishini sezadi, lekin Xudo boshidan oxirigacha qilgan ishlarni inson tushuna olmaydi. 12 Inson uchun baxtli hayot kechirish, oʻz hayotidan rohatlanishdan boshqa yaxshiroq narsa yoʻq ekanligini tushunib yetdim. 13 Hamma yeb, ichib, oʻz qilgan mehnatining rohatini koʻrsin. Bu Xudoning inʼomidir. 14 Xudo qilgan har bir ish to abad oʻzgarmas, bu ishga hech narsa qoʻshib boʻlmaydi, undan hech narsani ayirib boʻlmaydi. Xudo bu ishlarni, hamma Mendan qoʻrqsin, deb qildi. 15 Hozir nima boʻlsa, oldin ham boʻlgan, kelajakda boʻladigani hozir ham bordir. Oʻz vaqtida Xudo oʻtmishni yana qaytarar.
Dunyodagi adolatsizlik
16 Men yana bu dunyoda adolat hukm surishi kerak boʻlgan joyda — qozixonada ham, toʻgʻrilik oʻrnida ham egrilik koʻrdim. 17 Oʻzimga: “Yaxshini ham, yomonni ham Xudo hukm qiladi, chunki Xudoning Oʻzi har bir narsaning, har bir ishning vaqtini belgilagan”, dedim. 18 Men yana odamzod haqida shuni tushundim: “Insonlar ham xuddi hayvonlarday ekan. Shuni koʻrsatish uchun Xudo insonlarni sinar ekan.” 19 Axir, odamlar bilan hayvonlarning taqdiri bir xil, unisi ham bunisi ham oʻladi. Insonlarga ham, hayvonlarga ham Xudo jon bergan, odamlar hayvonlardan ustun emas. Hammasi behuda ekan. 20 Hamma bitta joyga boradi, tuproqdan yaralganlar tuproqqa qaytadi. 21 Insonning ruhi tepaga chiqadimi, hayvonlarning ruhi pastga — yerning ostiga tushadimi, kim biladi?! 22 Shunda men tushundim: inson uchun oʻz mehnatidan rohat olishdan boshqa yaxshiroq narsa yoʻq ekan, chunki bu uning taqdiri. Inson oʻtib ketgandan keyin nima boʻlishini kim unga koʻrsata oladi?!
1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: 2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; 3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; 4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; 5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; 6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; 7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; 8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. 9 What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth? 10 I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.
11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end. 12 I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life. 13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God. 14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it , that men should fear before him. 15 That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.
16 ¶ And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there. 17 I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work. 18 I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts. 19 For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity. 20 All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again. 21 Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth? 22 Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?
