In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful.
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
قُلْ اُوْحِیَ اِلَیَّ اَنَّهُ اسْتَمَعَ نَفَرٌ مِّنَ الْجِنِّ فَقَالُوْۤا اِنَّا سَمِعْنَا قُرْاٰنًا عَجَبًاۙ(۱)
SAY: "I HAVE been informed that a number of jinns had listened; then said: ´We have heard the wondrous Qur´an,
Say: 'It has been revealed to me that a company of the jinn gave ear, then they said, "We have indeed heard a Koran wonderful,
یَّهْدِیْۤ اِلَى الرُّشْدِ فَاٰمَنَّا بِهٖؕ-وَ لَنْ نُّشْرِكَ بِرَبِّنَاۤ اَحَدًاۙ(۲)
Which guides to the right path; and we have come to believe in it, and will not associate any one with our Lord.
guiding to rectitude. We believe in it, and we will not associate with our Lord anyone.
وَّ اَنَّهٗ تَعٰلٰى جَدُّ رَبِّنَا مَا اتَّخَذَ صَاحِبَةً وَّ لَا وَلَدًاۙ(۳)
Exalted is the glory of our Lord; He has neither wife nor son.
He -- exalted be our Lord's majesty! has not taken to Himself either consort or a son.
وَّ اَنَّهٗ كَانَ یَقُوْلُ سَفِیْهُنَا عَلَى اللّٰهِ شَطَطًاۙ(۴)
Certainly the foolish among us say preposterous things of God.
The fool among us spoke against God outrage,
وَّ اَنَّا ظَنَنَّاۤ اَنْ لَّنْ تَقُوْلَ الْاِنْسُ وَ الْجِنُّ عَلَى اللّٰهِ كَذِبًاۙ(۵)
We had in fact thought that men and jinns would never speak a lie about God,
and we had thought that men and jinn would never speak against God a lie.
وَّ اَنَّهٗ كَانَ رِجَالٌ مِّنَ الْاِنْسِ یَعُوْذُوْنَ بِرِجَالٍ مِّنَ الْجِنِّ فَزَادُوْهُمْ رَهَقًاۙ(۶)
But some men used to seek refuge with some jinns, and this increased their waywardness;
But there were certain men of mankind who would take refuge with certain men of the jinn, and they increased them in vileness,
وَّ اَنَّهُمْ ظَنُّوْا كَمَا ظَنَنْتُمْ اَنْ لَّنْ یَّبْعَثَ اللّٰهُ اَحَدًاۙ(۷)
So they began to think, even as you do, that God would not resurrect any one.
and they thought, even as you also thought, that God would never raise up anyone.
وَّ اَنَّا لَمَسْنَا السَّمَآءَ فَوَجَدْنٰهَا مُلِئَتْ حَرَسًا شَدِیْدًا وَّ شُهُبًاۙ(۸)
We sought to pry into the secrets of the heavens, but found it full of fierce guards and shooting flames.
And we stretched towards heaven, but we found it filled with terrible guards and meteors.
وَّ اَنَّا كُنَّا نَقْعُدُ مِنْهَا مَقَاعِدَ لِلسَّمْعِؕ-فَمَنْ یَّسْتَمِعِ الْاٰنَ یَجِدْ لَهٗ شِهَابًا رَّصَدًاۙ(۹)
We sat in observatories to listen; but any one who listened found a shooting star in wait for him.
We would sit there on seats to hear; but any listening now finds a meteor in wait for him.
وَّ اَنَّا لَا نَدْرِیْۤ اَشَرٌّ اُرِیْدَ بِمَنْ فِی الْاَرْضِ اَمْ اَرَادَ بِهِمْ رَبُّهُمْ رَشَدًاۙ(۱۰)
We do not know if this means ill for the dwellers of the earth, or their Lord wishes guidance for them.
And so we know not whether evil is intended for those in the earth, or whether their Lord intends for them rectitude.
وَّ اَنَّا مِنَّا الصّٰلِحُوْنَ وَ مِنَّا دُوْنَ ذٰلِكَؕ-كُنَّا طَرَآىٕقَ قِدَدًاۙ(۱۱)
For some of us are upright and some otherwise: Surely we follow different ways.
And some of us are the righteous, and some of us are otherwise; we are sects differing.
وَّ اَنَّا ظَنَنَّاۤ اَنْ لَّنْ نُّعْجِزَ اللّٰهَ فِی الْاَرْضِ وَ لَنْ نُّعْجِزَهٗ هَرَبًاۙ(۱۲)
We realised that we could not weaken the power of God on earth, nor outpace Him by running away.
Indeed, we thought that we should never be able to frustrate God in the earth, neither be able to frustrate Him by flight.
وَّ اَنَّا لَمَّا سَمِعْنَا الْهُدٰۤى اٰمَنَّا بِهٖؕ-فَمَنْ یُّؤْمِنْۢ بِرَبِّهٖ فَلَا یَخَافُ بَخْسًا وَّ لَا رَهَقًاۙ(۱۳)
So when we heard the guidance we believed in it; and he who believes in his Lord will neither fear loss nor force.
When we heard the guidance, we believed in it; and whosoever believes in his Lord, he shall fear neither paltriness nor vileness.
وَّ اَنَّا مِنَّا الْمُسْلِمُوْنَ وَ مِنَّا الْقٰسِطُوْنَؕ-فَمَنْ اَسْلَمَ فَاُولٰٓىٕكَ تَحَرَّوْا رَشَدًا(۱۴)
Some of us have come to submission, and some of us are iniquitous.´" Those who have submitted have taken the right course;
And some of us have surrendered, and some of us have deviated. Those who have surrendered sought rectitude;
وَ اَمَّا الْقٰسِطُوْنَ فَكَانُوْا لِجَهَنَّمَ حَطَبًاۙ(۱۵)
But those who are iniquitous will be fuel for Hell.
but as for those who have deviated, they have become firewood for Gehenna!"'
وَّ اَنْ لَّوِ اسْتَقَامُوْا عَلَى الطَّرِیْقَةِ لَاَسْقَیْنٰهُمْ مَّآءً غَدَقًاۙ(۱۶)
(Say): "If they keep to the right path We shall give them water in abundance to drink
Would they but go straight on the way, We would give them to drink of water copious,
لِّنَفْتِنَهُمْ فِیْهِؕ-وَ مَنْ یُّعْرِضْ عَنْ ذِكْرِ رَبِّهٖ یَسْلُكْهُ عَذَابًا صَعَدًاۙ(۱۷)
In order to try them through it. But whoever turns away from the remembrance of his Lord, will be given increasing torment by Him."
that We might try them therein. And whosoever turns away from the Remembrance of his Lord, He will thrust him into chastisement rigorous.
وَّ اَنَّ الْمَسٰجِدَ لِلّٰهِ فَلَا تَدْعُوْا مَعَ اللّٰهِ اَحَدًاۙ(۱۸)
All places of worship are for God; so do not invoke any one with God.
The places of worship belong to God; so call not, along with God, upon anyone.
وَّ اَنَّهٗ لَمَّا قَامَ عَبْدُ اللّٰهِ یَدْعُوْهُ كَادُوْا یَكُوْنُوْنَ عَلَیْهِ لِبَدًا(۱۹)ﮒ
When the devotee of God stood up to invoke Him (the jinns) crowded upon him (to listen).
When the servant of God stood calling on Him, they were wellnigh upon him in swarms.
قُلْ اِنَّمَاۤ اَدْعُوْا رَبِّیْ وَ لَاۤ اُشْرِكُ بِهٖۤ اَحَدًا(۲۰)
Say: "I call on my Lord alone and I do not associate any one with Him."
Say: 'I call only upon my Lord, and I do not associate with Him anyone.
قُلْ اِنِّیْ لَاۤ اَمْلِكُ لَكُمْ ضَرًّا وَّ لَا رَشَدًا(۲۱)
Say: "Neither is your loss within my power nor bringing you to guidance."
Say: 'Surely I possess no power over you, either for hurt or for rectitude.'
قُلْ اِنِّیْ لَنْ یُّجِیْرَنِیْ مِنَ اللّٰهِ اَحَدٌ ﳔ وَّ لَنْ اَجِدَ مِنْ دُوْنِهٖ مُلْتَحَدًاۙ(۲۲)
Say: "No one can save me from God, nor can I find a place of refuge apart from Him,
Say: 'From God shall protect me not anyone, and I shall find, apart from Him, no refuge,
اِلَّا بَلٰغًا مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَ رِسٰلٰتِهٖؕ-وَ مَنْ یَّعْصِ اللّٰهَ وَ رَسُوْلَهٗ فَاِنَّ لَهٗ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهَاۤ اَبَدًاؕ(۲۳)
Unless I convey from God and deliver His message." For those who disobey God and His Apostle is the fire of Hell, where they will abide for ever;
excepting a Deliverance from God and His Messages. And whoso rebels against God and His messenger, for him there awaits the Fire of Gehenna; therein they shall dwell forever.'
حَتّٰۤى اِذَا رَاَوْا مَا یُوْعَدُوْنَ فَسَیَعْلَمُوْنَ مَنْ اَضْعَفُ نَاصِرًا وَّ اَقَلُّ عَدَدًا(۲۴)
Until they see what they are promised, when they will understand who is weaker in aid and poorer in numbers.
Until, when they see that which they are promised, then they will know who is weaker in helpers and fewer in numbers.
قُلْ اِنْ اَدْرِیْۤ اَقَرِیْبٌ مَّا تُوْعَدُوْنَ اَمْ یَجْعَلُ لَهٗ رَبِّیْۤ اَمَدًا(۲۵)
Say: "I do not know if what is promised you is near, or if my Lord prolongs its term.
Say: 'I do not know whether that which you are promised is nigh, or whether my Lord will appoint for it a space;
عٰلِمُ الْغَیْبِ فَلَا یُظْهِرُ عَلٰى غَیْبِهٖۤ اَحَدًاۙ(۲۶)
He is the knower of the Unknown, and He does not divulge His secret to any one
Knower He of the Unseen, and He discloses not His Unseen to anyone,
اِلَّا مَنِ ارْتَضٰى مِنْ رَّسُوْلٍ فَاِنَّهٗ یَسْلُكُ مِنْۢ بَیْنِ یَدَیْهِ وَ مِنْ خَلْفِهٖ رَصَدًاۙ(۲۷)
Other than an apostle He has chosen, when He makes a sentinel walk in front of him and a sentinel behind,
save only to such a Messenger as He is well-pleased with; then He despatches before him and behind him watchers,
لِّیَعْلَمَ اَنْ قَدْ اَبْلَغُوْا رِسٰلٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ وَ اَحَاطَ بِمَا لَدَیْهِمْ وَ اَحْصٰى كُلَّ شَیْءٍ عَدَدًا۠(۲۸)
So that He may know if they have delivered their Lord´s messages. He comprehends all that has been given them, and keeps count of everything.
that He may know they have delivered the Messages of their Lord; and He encompasses all that is with them, and He has numbered everything in numbers.'
