Literal translation

may my ten fingers be ten men (accusers)

Said in swearing that one will never forgive a wrong, not even in the afterlife, where one's own hands will stand as accusers against the wrongdoer.

Anı [Bayrumuqnu] öltürgeniŋi saŋa keçgenŋe qıyamat kün on barmağım dawçu bolub süelsinle! – dedi Gonday."On judgment day may my ten fingers stand as accusers against whoever forgives you for killing him [Bayrymuk]!" said Gonday.
Qıyınımı aşadıŋ ese, Allahnı allına barğan künüŋde dawçu bolub, on barmağım on kişi bolub süelsinle.If you have consumed the fruit of my labor, then on the day you come before God may my ten fingers stand as ten men accusing you.
