ALIF LAM MYM 'SAAD

Alif, Lam, Meem, Sad.

كِتَٰبٌ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ فَلَا يَكُن فِى صَدْرِكَ حَرَجٌۭ مِّنْهُ لِتُنذِرَ بِهِۦ وَذِكْرَىٰ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ٢

Kitabu kilicho teremshwa kwako - basi isiwe dhiki kifuani kwako kwa ajili yake, upate kuonya kwacho, na kiwe ni ukumbusho kwa Waumini.

[This is] a Book revealed to you, [O Muhammad] - so let there not be in your breast distress therefrom - that you may warn thereby and as a reminder to the believers.

ٱتَّبِعُوا۟ مَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكُم مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا۟ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ أَوْلِيَآءَ ۗ قَلِيلًۭا مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ ٣

Fuateni mliyo teremshiwa kutoka kwa Mola Mlezi wenu, wala msifuate rafiki au walinzi wengine badala yake. Ni machache mnayo yakumbuka.

Follow, [O mankind], what has been revealed to you from your Lord and do not follow other than Him any allies. Little do you remember.

وَكَم مِّن قَرْيَةٍ أَهْلَكْنَٰهَا فَجَآءَهَا بَأْسُنَا بَيَٰتًا أَوْ هُمْ قَآئِلُونَ ٤

Na miji mingapi tuliiangamiza, ikaifikia adhabu yetu usiku au walipo kuwa wamelala adhuhuri.

And how many cities have We destroyed, and Our punishment came to them at night or while they were sleeping at noon.

فَمَا كَانَ دَعْوَىٰهُمْ إِذْ جَآءَهُم بَأْسُنَآ إِلَّآ أَن قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَٰلِمِينَ ٥

Basi hakikuwa kilio chao ilipo wafikia adhabu yetu, isipo kuwa kusema: Hakika sisi tulikuwa wenye kudhulumu.

And their declaration when Our punishment came to them was only that they said, "Indeed, we were wrongdoers!"

فَلَنَسْـَٔلَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَلَنَسْـَٔلَنَّ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ٦

Na kwa yakini tutawauliza wale walio pelekewa Ujumbe, na pia tutawauliza hao Wajumbe.

Then We will surely question those to whom [a message] was sent, and We will surely question the messengers.

فَلَنَقُصَّنَّ عَلَيْهِم بِعِلْمٍۢ ۖ وَمَا كُنَّا غَآئِبِينَ ٧

Tena tutawasimulia kwa ilimu; wala Sisi hatukuwa mbali.

Then We will surely relate [their deeds] to them with knowledge, and We were not [at all] absent.

وَٱلْوَزْنُ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْحَقُّ ۚ فَمَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُفْلِحُونَ ٨

Na Siku hiyo kipimo kitakuwa kwa Haki. Basi watakao kuwa na uzani mzito, hao ndio watakao fanikiwa.

And the weighing [of deeds] that Day will be the truth. So those whose scales are heavy - it is they who will be the successful.

وَمَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ خَسِرُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَهُم بِمَا كَانُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا يَظْلِمُونَ ٩

Na watakao kuwa na uzani khafifu, basi hao ndio walio zitia khasarani nafsi zao kwa sababu ya kuzipinga Ishara zetu.

And those whose scales are light - they are the ones who will lose themselves for what injustice they were doing toward Our verses.

وَلَقَدْ مَكَّنَّٰكُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَجَعَلْنَا لَكُمْ فِيهَا مَعَٰيِشَ ۗ قَلِيلًۭا مَّا تَشْكُرُونَ ١٠

Na hakika tumekuwekeni katika ardhi, na tumekujaalieni humo njia za kupatia maisha. Ni kuchache kushukuru kwenu.

And We have certainly established you upon the earth and made for you therein ways of livelihood. Little are you grateful.

وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَٰكُمْ ثُمَّ صَوَّرْنَٰكُمْ ثُمَّ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ ٱسْجُدُوا۟ لِءَادَمَ فَسَجَدُوٓا۟ إِلَّآ إِبْلِيسَ لَمْ يَكُن مِّنَ ٱلسَّٰجِدِينَ ١١

Na hakika tulikuumbeni, kisha tukakutieni sura, kisha tukawaambia Malaika: Msujudieni Adam. Basi wakasujudu isipo kuwa Iblisi, hakuwa miongoni mwa walio sujudu.

And We have certainly created you, [O Mankind], and given you [human] form. Then We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam"; so they prostrated, except for Iblees. He was not of those who prostrated.

قَالَ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَلَّا تَسْجُدَ إِذْ أَمَرْتُكَ ۖ قَالَ أَنَا۠ خَيْرٌۭ مِّنْهُ خَلَقْتَنِى مِن نَّارٍۢ وَخَلَقْتَهُۥ مِن طِينٍۢ ١٢

Mwenyezi Mungu akasema: Nini kilicho kuzuia kumsujudia nilipo kuamrisha? Akasema: Mimi ni bora kuliko yeye. Umeniumba kwa moto, naye umemuumba kwa udongo.

[Allah] said, "What prevented you from prostrating when I commanded you?" [Satan] said, "I am better than him. You created me from fire and created him from clay."

قَالَ فَٱهْبِطْ مِنْهَا فَمَا يَكُونُ لَكَ أَن تَتَكَبَّرَ فِيهَا فَٱخْرُجْ إِنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰغِرِينَ ١٣

Akasema: Basi teremka kutoka humo! Haikufalii kufanya kiburi humo. Basi toka! Hakika wewe u miongoni mwa walio duni.

[Allah] said, "Descend from Paradise, for it is not for you to be arrogant therein. So get out; indeed, you are of the debased.

قَالَ أَنظِرْنِىٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ ١٤

Akasema: Nipe muhula mpaka siku watakapo fufuliwa.

[Satan] said, "Reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected."

قَالَ إِنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُنظَرِينَ ١٥

Akasema: Utakuwa miongoni mwa walio pewa muhula.

[Allah] said, "Indeed, you are of those reprieved."

قَالَ فَبِمَآ أَغْوَيْتَنِى لَأَقْعُدَنَّ لَهُمْ صِرَٰطَكَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ ١٦

Akasema: Kwa kuwa umenihukumia upotofu, basi nitawavizia katika Njia yako Iliyo Nyooka.

[Satan] said, "Because You have put me in error, I will surely sit in wait for them on Your straight path.

ثُمَّ لَءَاتِيَنَّهُم مِّنۢ بَيْنِ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ وَعَنْ أَيْمَٰنِهِمْ وَعَن شَمَآئِلِهِمْ ۖ وَلَا تَجِدُ أَكْثَرَهُمْ شَٰكِرِينَ ١٧

Kisha nitawazukia mbele yao na nyuma yao na kuliani kwao na kushotoni kwao. Wala hutawakuta wengi wao wenye shukrani.

Then I will come to them from before them and from behind them and on their right and on their left, and You will not find most of them grateful [to You]."

قَالَ ٱخْرُجْ مِنْهَا مَذْءُومًۭا مَّدْحُورًۭا ۖ لَّمَن تَبِعَكَ مِنْهُمْ لَأَمْلَأَنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ١٨

Akasema: Toka humo, nawe umekwisha fedheheka, umekwisha fukuzwa. Hapana shaka atakaye kufuata miongoni mwao, basi nitaijaza Jahannam kwa nyinyi nyote.

[Allah] said, "Get out of Paradise, reproached and expelled. Whoever follows you among them - I will surely fill Hell with you, all together."

وَيَٰٓـَٔادَمُ ٱسْكُنْ أَنتَ وَزَوْجُكَ ٱلْجَنَّةَ فَكُلَا مِنْ حَيْثُ شِئْتُمَا وَلَا تَقْرَبَا هَٰذِهِ ٱلشَّجَرَةَ فَتَكُونَا مِنَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ١٩

Na wewe, Adam! Kaa wewe na mkeo katika Bustani hii, na kuleni humo mpendapo. Wala msiukaribie mti huu, mkawa katika wale walio dhulumu.

And "O Adam, dwell, you and your wife, in Paradise and eat from wherever you will but do not approach this tree, lest you be among the wrongdoers."

فَوَسْوَسَ لَهُمَا ٱلشَّيْطَٰنُ لِيُبْدِىَ لَهُمَا مَا وُۥرِىَ عَنْهُمَا مِن سَوْءَٰتِهِمَا وَقَالَ مَا نَهَىٰكُمَا رَبُّكُمَا عَنْ هَٰذِهِ ٱلشَّجَرَةِ إِلَّآ أَن تَكُونَا مَلَكَيْنِ أَوْ تَكُونَا مِنَ ٱلْخَٰلِدِينَ ٢٠

Basi Shet'ani aliwatia wasiwasi ili kuwafichulia tupu zao walizo fichiwa, na akasema: Mola Mlezi wenu hakukukatazeni mti huu ila msije mkawa Malaika, au msije mkawa katika wanao ishi milele.

But Satan whispered to them to make apparent to them that which was concealed from them of their private parts. He said, "Your Lord did not forbid you this tree except that you become angels or become of the immortal."

وَقَاسَمَهُمَآ إِنِّى لَكُمَا لَمِنَ ٱلنَّٰصِحِينَ ٢١

Naye akawaapia: Kwa yakini mimi ni miongoni wa wanao kunasihini.

And he swore [by Allah] to them, "Indeed, I am to you from among the sincere advisors."

فَدَلَّىٰهُمَا بِغُرُورٍۢ ۚ فَلَمَّا ذَاقَا ٱلشَّجَرَةَ بَدَتْ لَهُمَا سَوْءَٰتُهُمَا وَطَفِقَا يَخْصِفَانِ عَلَيْهِمَا مِن وَرَقِ ٱلْجَنَّةِ ۖ وَنَادَىٰهُمَا رَبُّهُمَآ أَلَمْ أَنْهَكُمَا عَن تِلْكُمَا ٱلشَّجَرَةِ وَأَقُل لَّكُمَآ إِنَّ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنَ لَكُمَا عَدُوٌّۭ مُّبِينٌۭ ٢٢

Basi akawateka kwa khadaa. Walipo uonja ule mti, tupu zao zilifichuka na wakaingia kujibandika majani ya Bustanini. Mola wao Mlezi akawaita: Je, sikukukatazeni mti huo, na kukwambieni ya kwamba Shet'ani ni adui yenu wa dhaahiri?

So he made them fall, through deception. And when they tasted of the tree, their private parts became apparent to them, and they began to fasten together over themselves from the leaves of Paradise. And their Lord called to them, "Did I not forbid you from that tree and tell you that Satan is to you a clear enemy?"

قَالَا رَبَّنَا ظَلَمْنَآ أَنفُسَنَا وَإِن لَّمْ تَغْفِرْ لَنَا وَتَرْحَمْنَا لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْخَٰسِرِينَ ٢٣

Wakasema: Mola wetu Mlezi! tumejidhulumu nafsi zetu, na kama hutusamehe na kuturehemu, hakika tutakuwa katika wenye kukhasirika.

They said, "Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves, and if You do not forgive us and have mercy upon us, we will surely be among the losers."

قَالَ ٱهْبِطُوا۟ بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّۭ ۖ وَلَكُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مُسْتَقَرٌّۭ وَمَتَٰعٌ إِلَىٰ حِينٍۢ ٢٤

Akasema: Teremkeni! Mtakuwa nyinyi kwa nyinyi maadui. Na kwenye ardhi itakuwa ndio makao yenu na starehe yenu mpaka ufike muda.

[Allah] said, "Descend, being to one another enemies. And for you on the earth is a place of settlement and enjoyment for a time."

قَالَ فِيهَا تَحْيَوْنَ وَفِيهَا تَمُوتُونَ وَمِنْهَا تُخْرَجُونَ ٢٥

Akasema: Humo mtaishi, na humo mtakufa, na kutoka humo mtatolewa.

He said, "Therein you will live, and therein you will die, and from it you will be brought forth."

يَٰبَنِىٓ ءَادَمَ قَدْ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْكُمْ لِبَاسًۭا يُوَٰرِى سَوْءَٰتِكُمْ وَرِيشًۭا ۖ وَلِبَاسُ ٱلتَّقْوَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌۭ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ مِنْ ءَايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَذَّكَّرُونَ ٢٦

Enyi wanaadamu! Tumekuteremshieni nguo za kuficha tupu zenu, na nguo za pambo. Na nguo za uchamngu ndio bora. Hayo ni katika Ishara za Mwenyezi Mungu mpate kukumbuka.

O children of Adam, We have bestowed upon you clothing to conceal your private parts and as adornment. But the clothing of righteousness - that is best. That is from the signs of Allah that perhaps they will remember.

يَٰبَنِىٓ ءَادَمَ لَا يَفْتِنَنَّكُمُ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنُ كَمَآ أَخْرَجَ أَبَوَيْكُم مِّنَ ٱلْجَنَّةِ يَنزِعُ عَنْهُمَا لِبَاسَهُمَا لِيُرِيَهُمَا سَوْءَٰتِهِمَآ ۗ إِنَّهُۥ يَرَىٰكُمْ هُوَ وَقَبِيلُهُۥ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا تَرَوْنَهُمْ ۗ إِنَّا جَعَلْنَا ٱلشَّيَٰطِينَ أَوْلِيَآءَ لِلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ ٢٧

Eny wanaadamu! Asije Shet'ani kukufitinini kama alivyo watoa wazazi wenu Peponi, akawavua nguo zao kuwaonyesha tupu zao. Hakika yeye na kabila yake wanakuoneni, na nyinyi hamuwaoni. Hakika Sisi tumewafanya Mashet'ani kuwa ni marafiki wa wasio amini.

O children of Adam, let not Satan tempt you as he removed your parents from Paradise, stripping them of their clothing to show them their private parts. Indeed, he sees you, he and his tribe, from where you do not see them. Indeed, We have made the devils allies to those who do not believe.

وَإِذَا فَعَلُوا۟ فَٰحِشَةًۭ قَالُوا۟ وَجَدْنَا عَلَيْهَآ ءَابَآءَنَا وَٱللَّهُ أَمَرَنَا بِهَا ۗ قُلْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَأْمُرُ بِٱلْفَحْشَآءِ ۖ أَتَقُولُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ ٢٨

Na wanapo fanya mambo machafu husema: Tumewakuta nayo baba zetu, na Mwenyezi Mungu ametuamrisha hayo. Sema: Hakika Mwenyezi Mungu haamrishi mambo machafu. Mnamzulia Mwenyezi Mungu msiyo yajua?

And when they commit an immorality, they say, "We found our fathers doing it, and Allah has ordered us to do it." Say, "Indeed, Allah does not order immorality. Do you say about Allah that which you do not know?"

قُلْ أَمَرَ رَبِّى بِٱلْقِسْطِ ۖ وَأَقِيمُوا۟ وُجُوهَكُمْ عِندَ كُلِّ مَسْجِدٍۢ وَٱدْعُوهُ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ ٱلدِّينَ ۚ كَمَا بَدَأَكُمْ تَعُودُونَ ٢٩

Sema: Mola Mlezi wangu ameamrisha uadilifu, na mumuelekeze nyuso zenu kila mnapo sujudu, na muombeni Yeye kwa kumsafia Dini. Kama alivyo kuumbeni mwanzo ndivyo mtavyo rudi,

Say, [O Muhammad], "My Lord has ordered justice and that you maintain yourselves [in worship of Him] at every place [or time] of prostration, and invoke Him, sincere to Him in religion." Just as He originated you, you will return [to life] -

فَرِيقًا هَدَىٰ وَفَرِيقًا حَقَّ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلضَّلَٰلَةُ ۗ إِنَّهُمُ ٱتَّخَذُوا۟ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينَ أَوْلِيَآءَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَيَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّهُم مُّهْتَدُونَ ٣٠

Hali ya kuwa kundi moja amelihidi, na kundi jengine limethibitikiwa na upotofu. Kwa hakika hao waliwafanya mashet'ani kuwa ndio marafiki walinzi badala ya Mwenyezi Mungu, na wanadhani kuwa wao wameongoka.

A group [of you] He guided, and a group deserved [to be in] error. Indeed, they had taken the devils as allies instead of Allah while they thought that they were guided.

۞ يَٰبَنِىٓ ءَادَمَ خُذُوا۟ زِينَتَكُمْ عِندَ كُلِّ مَسْجِدٍۢ وَكُلُوا۟ وَٱشْرَبُوا۟ وَلَا تُسْرِفُوٓا۟ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ ٣١

Enyi wanaadamu! Chukueni pambo lenu kwenye kila pahala wakati wa ibada, na kuleni, na kunyweni na wala msifanye ubadhirifu. Kwa hakika Yeye hapendi wanao fanya israfu.

O children of Adam, take your adornment at every masjid, and eat and drink, but be not excessive. Indeed, He likes not those who commit excess.

قُلْ مَنْ حَرَّمَ زِينَةَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّتِىٓ أَخْرَجَ لِعِبَادِهِۦ وَٱلطَّيِّبَٰتِ مِنَ ٱلرِّزْقِ ۚ قُلْ هِىَ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا خَالِصَةًۭ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ ۗ كَذَٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ ٱلْءَايَٰتِ لِقَوْمٍۢ يَعْلَمُونَ ٣٢

Sema: Ni nani aliye harimisha pambo la Mwenyezi Mungu alilo watolea waja wake, na vilivyo vizuri katika riziki. Sema hivyo ni kwa walio amini katika uhai wa duniani, na Siku ya Kiyama vitakuwa vyao wao tu. Namna hivi tunazieleza Ishara kwa watu wanao jua.

Say, "Who has forbidden the adornment of Allah which He has produced for His servants and the good [lawful] things of provision?" Say, "They are for those who believe during the worldly life [but] exclusively for them on the Day of Resurrection." Thus do We detail the verses for a people who know.

قُلْ إِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ رَبِّىَ ٱلْفَوَٰحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ وَٱلْإِثْمَ وَٱلْبَغْىَ بِغَيْرِ ٱلْحَقِّ وَأَن تُشْرِكُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ مَا لَمْ يُنَزِّلْ بِهِۦ سُلْطَٰنًۭا وَأَن تَقُولُوا۟ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ ٣٣

Sema: Mola Mlezi wangu ameharimisha mambo machafu ya dhaahiri na ya siri, na dhambi, na uasi bila ya haki, na kumshirikisha Mwenyezi Mungu na asicho kiletea uthibitisho, na kumzulia Mwenyezi Mungu msiyo yajua.

Say, "My Lord has only forbidden immoralities - what is apparent of them and what is concealed - and sin, and oppression without right, and that you associate with Allah that for which He has not sent down authority, and that you say about Allah that which you do not know."

وَلِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلٌۭ ۖ فَإِذَا جَآءَ أَجَلُهُمْ لَا يَسْتَأْخِرُونَ سَاعَةًۭ ۖ وَلَا يَسْتَقْدِمُونَ ٣٤

Na kila umma una muda wake. Utakapo fika muda wao basi hawatakawia hata saa moja, wala hawatatangulia.

And for every nation is a [specified] term. So when their time has come, they will not remain behind an hour, nor will they precede [it].

يَٰبَنِىٓ ءَادَمَ إِمَّا يَأْتِيَنَّكُمْ رُسُلٌۭ مِّنكُمْ يَقُصُّونَ عَلَيْكُمْ ءَايَٰتِى ۙ فَمَنِ ٱتَّقَىٰ وَأَصْلَحَ فَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ ٣٥

Enyi wanaadamu! Watakapo kufikieni Mitume miongoni mwenu wakakuelezeni Ishara zangu, basi watakao mchamngu na wakatengenea haitakuwa khofu kwao, wala hawatahuzunika.

O children of Adam, if there come to you messengers from among you relating to you My verses, then whoever fears Allah and reforms - there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve.

وَٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا وَٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ عَنْهَآ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلنَّارِ ۖ هُمْ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ ٣٦

Na wale watakao kanusha Ishara zetu na wakazifanyia kiburi, hao ni watu wa Motoni; humo watadumu.

But the ones who deny Our verses and are arrogant toward them - those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally.

فَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ ٱفْتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا أَوْ كَذَّبَ بِـَٔايَٰتِهِۦٓ ۚ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ يَنَالُهُمْ نَصِيبُهُم مِّنَ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ ۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُنَا يَتَوَفَّوْنَهُمْ قَالُوٓا۟ أَيْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ ۖ قَالُوا۟ ضَلُّوا۟ عَنَّا وَشَهِدُوا۟ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِهِمْ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ كَٰفِرِينَ ٣٧

Basi ni nani dhaalimu mkubwa kuliko yule anaye mzulia Mwenyezi Mungu uwongo, au anaye zikanusha Ishara zake? Hao itawafikia sehemu yao waliyo andikiwa, mpaka watakapo wafikia wajumbe wetu kuwafisha, watawaambia: Wako wapi mlio kuwa mkiwaomba badala ya Mwenyezi Mungu? Watasema: Wametupotea! Na watajishuhudia wenyewe kwamba walikuwa makafiri.

And who is more unjust than one who invents about Allah a lie or denies His verses? Those will attain their portion of the decree until when Our messengers come to them to take them in death, they will say, "Where are those you used to invoke besides Allah?" They will say, "They have departed from us," and will bear witness against themselves that they were disbelievers.

قَالَ ٱدْخُلُوا۟ فِىٓ أُمَمٍۢ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِن قَبْلِكُم مِّنَ ٱلْجِنِّ وَٱلْإِنسِ فِى ٱلنَّارِ ۖ كُلَّمَا دَخَلَتْ أُمَّةٌۭ لَّعَنَتْ أُخْتَهَا ۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا ٱدَّارَكُوا۟ فِيهَا جَمِيعًۭا قَالَتْ أُخْرَىٰهُمْ لِأُولَىٰهُمْ رَبَّنَا هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ أَضَلُّونَا فَـَٔاتِهِمْ عَذَابًۭا ضِعْفًۭا مِّنَ ٱلنَّارِ ۖ قَالَ لِكُلٍّۢ ضِعْفٌۭ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تَعْلَمُونَ ٣٨

Mwenyezi Mungu atasema: Ingieni Motoni pamoja na umma zilizo pita kabla yenu za majini na watu. Kila utakapo ingia umma utawalaani wenzake. Mpaka watakapo kusanyika wote humo, wa mwisho wao watawasema wa mwanzo wao: Mola wetu Mlezi! Hawa ndio walio tupoteza; basi wape adhabu ya Motoni marudufu. Atasema: Itakuwa kwenu nyote marudufu, lakini nyinyi hamjui tu.

[Allah] will say, "Enter among nations which had passed on before you of jinn and mankind into the Fire." Every time a nation enters, it will curse its sister until, when they have all overtaken one another therein, the last of them will say about the first of them "Our Lord, these had misled us, so give them a double punishment of the Fire. He will say, "For each is double, but you do not know."

وَقَالَتْ أُولَىٰهُمْ لِأُخْرَىٰهُمْ فَمَا كَانَ لَكُمْ عَلَيْنَا مِن فَضْلٍۢ فَذُوقُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَكْسِبُونَ ٣٩

Na wa mwanzo wao watawaambia wa mwisho wao: Basi nyinyi pia hamkuwa na ubora kuliko sisi. Basi onjeni adhabu kwa sababu ya mliyo kuwa mkiyachuma.

And the first of them will say to the last of them, "Then you had not any favor over us, so taste the punishment for what you used to earn."

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا وَٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ عَنْهَا لَا تُفَتَّحُ لَهُمْ أَبْوَٰبُ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَلَا يَدْخُلُونَ ٱلْجَنَّةَ حَتَّىٰ يَلِجَ ٱلْجَمَلُ فِى سَمِّ ٱلْخِيَاطِ ۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ ٤٠

Hakika wale wanao zikanusha Ishara zetu na wakazifanyia kiburi hawatafunguliwa milango ya mbingu, wala hawataingia Peponi mpaka apite ngamia katika tundu ya sindano. Na hivi ndivyo tunavyo walipa wakosefu.

Indeed, those who deny Our verses and are arrogant toward them - the gates of Heaven will not be opened for them, nor will they enter Paradise until a camel enters into the eye of a needle. And thus do We recompense the criminals.

لَهُم مِّن جَهَنَّمَ مِهَادٌۭ وَمِن فَوْقِهِمْ غَوَاشٍۢ ۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ٤١

Jahannamu itakuwa kitanda chao na juu yao nguo za moto za kujifunika. Na hivi ndivyo tunavyo walipa madhaalimu.

They will have from Hell a bed and over them coverings [of fire]. And thus do We recompense the wrongdoers.

وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَا نُكَلِّفُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَآ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْجَنَّةِ ۖ هُمْ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ ٤٢

Na wale wanao amini na wakatenda mema - hatumkalifishi mtu yoyote ila kwa kiasi cha uwezo wake - hao ndio watu wa Peponi. Wao watadumu humo.

But those who believed and did righteous deeds - We charge no soul except [within] its capacity. Those are the companions of Paradise; they will abide therein eternally.

وَنَزَعْنَا مَا فِى صُدُورِهِم مِّنْ غِلٍّۢ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهِمُ ٱلْأَنْهَٰرُ ۖ وَقَالُوا۟ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِى هَدَىٰنَا لِهَٰذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لِنَهْتَدِىَ لَوْلَآ أَنْ هَدَىٰنَا ٱللَّهُ ۖ لَقَدْ جَآءَتْ رُسُلُ رَبِّنَا بِٱلْحَقِّ ۖ وَنُودُوٓا۟ أَن تِلْكُمُ ٱلْجَنَّةُ أُورِثْتُمُوهَا بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ٤٣

Na tutaondoa chuki vifuani mwao, na mbele yao iwe inapita mito. Na watasema: Alhamdulillah! Kuhimidiwa ni kwa Mwenyezi Mungu, ambaye aliye tuhidi kufikia haya. Wala hatukuwa wenye kuhidika wenyewe ingeli kuwa Mwenyezi Mungu hakutuhidi. Hakika Mitume wa Mola wetu Mlezi walileta Haki. Na watanadiwa kwamba: Hiyo ndiyo Pepo mliyo rithishwa kwa sababu ya mliyo kuwa mkiyafanya.

And We will have removed whatever is within their breasts of resentment, [while] flowing beneath them are rivers. And they will say, "Praise to Allah, who has guided us to this; and we would never have been guided if Allah had not guided us. Certainly the messengers of our Lord had come with the truth." And they will be called, "This is Paradise, which you have been made to inherit for what you used to do."

وَنَادَىٰٓ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْجَنَّةِ أَصْحَٰبَ ٱلنَّارِ أَن قَدْ وَجَدْنَا مَا وَعَدَنَا رَبُّنَا حَقًّۭا فَهَلْ وَجَدتُّم مَّا وَعَدَ رَبُّكُمْ حَقًّۭا ۖ قَالُوا۟ نَعَمْ ۚ فَأَذَّنَ مُؤَذِّنٌۢ بَيْنَهُمْ أَن لَّعْنَةُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَى ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ٤٤

Na watu wa Peponi watawanadia watu wa Motoni: Sisi tumekuta aliyo tuahidi Mola wetu Mlezi kuwa ni kweli. Je, na nyinyi pia mmekuta aliyo kuahidini Mola wenu Mlezi kuwa ni kweli? Watasema: Ndiyo! Basi mtangazaji atawatangazia: Laana ya Mwenyezi Mungu iwapate walio dhulumu,

And the companions of Paradise will call out to the companions of the Fire, "We have already found what our Lord promised us to be true. Have you found what your Lord promised to be true?" They will say, "Yes." Then an announcer will announce among them, "The curse of Allah shall be upon the wrongdoers."

ٱلَّذِينَ يَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَيَبْغُونَهَا عِوَجًۭا وَهُم بِٱلْءَاخِرَةِ كَٰفِرُونَ ٤٥

Wale ambao walikuwa wakizuilia Njia ya Mwenyezi Mungu, na wakataka kuipotosha, nao wanaikanusha Akhera.

Who averted [people] from the way of Allah and sought to make it [seem] deviant while they were, concerning the Hereafter, disbelievers.

وَبَيْنَهُمَا حِجَابٌۭ ۚ وَعَلَى ٱلْأَعْرَافِ رِجَالٌۭ يَعْرِفُونَ كُلًّۢا بِسِيمَىٰهُمْ ۚ وَنَادَوْا۟ أَصْحَٰبَ ٱلْجَنَّةِ أَن سَلَٰمٌ عَلَيْكُمْ ۚ لَمْ يَدْخُلُوهَا وَهُمْ يَطْمَعُونَ ٤٦

Na baina ya makundi mawili hayo patakuwapo pazia. Na juu ya Mnyanyuko patakuwa watu watakao wajua wote kwa alama zao, na wao watawaita watu wa Peponi: Assalamu Alaykum, Amani juu yenu! Wao bado hawajaingia humo, lakini wanatumai.

And between them will be a partition, and on [its] elevations are men who recognize all by their mark. And they call out to the companions of Paradise, "Peace be upon you." They have not [yet] entered it, but they long intensely.

۞ وَإِذَا صُرِفَتْ أَبْصَٰرُهُمْ تِلْقَآءَ أَصْحَٰبِ ٱلنَّارِ قَالُوا۟ رَبَّنَا لَا تَجْعَلْنَا مَعَ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ٤٧

Na yanapo geuzwa macho yao kuelekea watu wa Motoni, watasema: Mola Mlezi wetu! Usitujaalie kuwa pamoja na watu walio dhulumu.

And when their eyes are turned toward the companions of the Fire, they say, "Our Lord, do not place us with the wrongdoing people."

وَنَادَىٰٓ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْأَعْرَافِ رِجَالًۭا يَعْرِفُونَهُم بِسِيمَىٰهُمْ قَالُوا۟ مَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنكُمْ جَمْعُكُمْ وَمَا كُنتُمْ تَسْتَكْبِرُونَ ٤٨

Na hao watu wa Mnyanyukoni watawaita watu wanao wajua kwa alama zao. Watasema: Kujumuika kwenu hakukufaini kitu, wala hicho mlicho kuwa mnafanyia kiburi.

And the companions of the Elevations will call to men [within Hell] whom they recognize by their mark, saying, "Of no avail to you was your gathering and [the fact] that you were arrogant."

أَهَٰٓؤُلَآءِ ٱلَّذِينَ أَقْسَمْتُمْ لَا يَنَالُهُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِرَحْمَةٍ ۚ ٱدْخُلُوا۟ ٱلْجَنَّةَ لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْكُمْ وَلَآ أَنتُمْ تَحْزَنُونَ ٤٩

Je, hawa sio wale mlio kuwa mkiwaapia kuwa Mwenyezi Mungu hatawafikishia rehema. Ingieni Peponi, hapana khofu kwenu, wala hamtahuzunika!

[Allah will say], "Are these the ones whom you [inhabitants of Hell] swore that Allah would never offer them mercy? Enter Paradise, [O People of the Elevations]. No fear will there be concerning you, nor will you grieve."

وَنَادَىٰٓ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلنَّارِ أَصْحَٰبَ ٱلْجَنَّةِ أَنْ أَفِيضُوا۟ عَلَيْنَا مِنَ ٱلْمَآءِ أَوْ مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ ۚ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ حَرَّمَهُمَا عَلَى ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ ٥٠

Na watu wa Motoni watawaita watu wa Peponi: Tumimieni maji, au chochote alicho kuruzukuni Mwenyezi Mungu. Nao watasema: Hakika Mwenyezi Mungu ameviharimisha hivyo kwa makafiri,

And the companions of the Fire will call to the companions of Paradise, "Pour upon us some water or from whatever Allah has provided you." They will say, "Indeed, Allah has forbidden them both to the disbelievers."

ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّخَذُوا۟ دِينَهُمْ لَهْوًۭا وَلَعِبًۭا وَغَرَّتْهُمُ ٱلْحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنْيَا ۚ فَٱلْيَوْمَ نَنسَىٰهُمْ كَمَا نَسُوا۟ لِقَآءَ يَوْمِهِمْ هَٰذَا وَمَا كَانُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا يَجْحَدُونَ ٥١

Ambao waliifanya dini yao kuwa ni pumbao na mchezo, na maisha ya dunia yakawadanganya. Basi leo Sisi tunawasahau kama walivyo usahau mkutano wa Siku yao hii, na kwa sababu ya kule kuzikataa Ishara zetu.

Who took their religion as distraction and amusement and whom the worldly life deluded." So today We will forget them just as they forgot the meeting of this Day of theirs and for having rejected Our verses.

وَلَقَدْ جِئْنَٰهُم بِكِتَٰبٍۢ فَصَّلْنَٰهُ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ هُدًۭى وَرَحْمَةًۭ لِّقَوْمٍۢ يُؤْمِنُونَ ٥٢

Na hakika tumewaletea Kitabu tulicho kipambanua kwa ilimu, uwongofu na rehema kwa watu wenye kuamini.

And We had certainly brought them a Book which We detailed by knowledge - as guidance and mercy to a people who believe.

هَلْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّا تَأْوِيلَهُۥ ۚ يَوْمَ يَأْتِى تَأْوِيلُهُۥ يَقُولُ ٱلَّذِينَ نَسُوهُ مِن قَبْلُ قَدْ جَآءَتْ رُسُلُ رَبِّنَا بِٱلْحَقِّ فَهَل لَّنَا مِن شُفَعَآءَ فَيَشْفَعُوا۟ لَنَآ أَوْ نُرَدُّ فَنَعْمَلَ غَيْرَ ٱلَّذِى كُنَّا نَعْمَلُ ۚ قَدْ خَسِرُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَفْتَرُونَ ٥٣

Je, lipo wanalo lingojea isipo kuwa matokeo yake? Siku yatapo fika matokeo yake watasema wale walio kisahau: Kweli Mitume wa Mola Mlezi wetu walileta Haki! Je, tunao waombezi ili watuombee? Au turudishwe ili tufanye yasiyo kuwa yale tuliyo kuwa tukiyafanya? Bila ya shaka wamejikhasiri nafsi zao, na yamewapotea waliyo kuwa wakiyazua.

Do they await except its result? The Day its result comes those who had ignored it before will say, "The messengers of our Lord had come with the truth, so are there [now] any intercessors to intercede for us or could we be sent back to do other than we used to do?" They will have lost themselves, and lost from them is what they used to invent.

إِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ فِى سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍۢ ثُمَّ ٱسْتَوَىٰ عَلَى ٱلْعَرْشِ يُغْشِى ٱلَّيْلَ ٱلنَّهَارَ يَطْلُبُهُۥ حَثِيثًۭا وَٱلشَّمْسَ وَٱلْقَمَرَ وَٱلنُّجُومَ مُسَخَّرَٰتٍۭ بِأَمْرِهِۦٓ ۗ أَلَا لَهُ ٱلْخَلْقُ وَٱلْأَمْرُ ۗ تَبَارَكَ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ٥٤

Hakika Mola Mlezi wenu ni Mwenyezi Mungu aliye ziumba mbingu na ardhi katika siku sita. Kisha akatawala juu ya Kiti cha Enzi. Huufunika usiku kwa mchana, ufuatao upesi upesi. Na jua, na mwezi, na nyota zinazo tumika kwa amri yake. Fahamuni! Kuumba na amri ni zake. Ametukuka kabisa Mwenyezi Mungu, Mola Mlezi wa viumbe vyote.

Indeed, your Lord is Allah, who created the heavens and earth in six days and then established Himself above the Throne. He covers the night with the day, [another night] chasing it rapidly; and [He created] the sun, the moon, and the stars, subjected by His command. Unquestionably, His is the creation and the command; blessed is Allah, Lord of the worlds.

ٱدْعُوا۟ رَبَّكُمْ تَضَرُّعًۭا وَخُفْيَةً ۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُعْتَدِينَ ٥٥

Muombeni Mola wenu Mlezi kwa unyenyekevu na kwa siri. Hakika Yeye hawapendi warukao mipaka.

Call upon your Lord in humility and privately; indeed, He does not like transgressors.

وَلَا تُفْسِدُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ بَعْدَ إِصْلَٰحِهَا وَٱدْعُوهُ خَوْفًۭا وَطَمَعًا ۚ إِنَّ رَحْمَتَ ٱللَّهِ قَرِيبٌۭ مِّنَ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ٥٦

Wala msifanye uharibifu katika nchi baada ya kuwa imekwisha tengenezwa. Na muombeni kwa kuogopa na kwa kutumai. Hakika rehema ya Mwenyzi Mungu iko karibu na wanao fanya mema.

And cause not corruption upon the earth after its reformation. And invoke Him in fear and aspiration. Indeed, the mercy of Allah is near to the doers of good.

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى يُرْسِلُ ٱلرِّيَٰحَ بُشْرًۢا بَيْنَ يَدَىْ رَحْمَتِهِۦ ۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَآ أَقَلَّتْ سَحَابًۭا ثِقَالًۭا سُقْنَٰهُ لِبَلَدٍۢ مَّيِّتٍۢ فَأَنزَلْنَا بِهِ ٱلْمَآءَ فَأَخْرَجْنَا بِهِۦ مِن كُلِّ ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نُخْرِجُ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ ٥٧

Na Yeye ndiye anaye peleka pepo (za kuvuma) kuwa ni bishara kabla ya kufika rehema yake. Hata hizo pepo zinapo beba mawingu mazito tunayachunga mpaka kwenye nchi iliyo kufa. Kisha tunateremsha kwayo maji, ndio kama hivyo tukatolesha kila aina ya matunda. Basi hali kadhaalika tunavyo wafufua wafu, ili mpate kukumbuka.

And it is He who sends the winds as good tidings before His mercy until, when they have carried heavy rainclouds, We drive them to a dead land and We send down rain therein and bring forth thereby [some] of all the fruits. Thus will We bring forth the dead; perhaps you may be reminded.

وَٱلْبَلَدُ ٱلطَّيِّبُ يَخْرُجُ نَبَاتُهُۥ بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِۦ ۖ وَٱلَّذِى خَبُثَ لَا يَخْرُجُ إِلَّا نَكِدًۭا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نُصَرِّفُ ٱلْءَايَٰتِ لِقَوْمٍۢ يَشْكُرُونَ ٥٨

Na ardhi njema, yenye udongo wa rutba, hutoa mimea yenye kukua vizuri yenye uhai, kwa idhini ya Mola Mlezi wake. Na ardhi mbaya haitoi ila mimea michache, isiyo na faida, tena kwa shida. Na hivyo ndivyo tunavyo zipambanua Ishara (Aya) kwa watu wanao shukuru.

And the good land - its vegetation emerges by permission of its Lord; but that which is bad - nothing emerges except sparsely, with difficulty. Thus do We diversify the signs for a people who are grateful.

لَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦ فَقَالَ يَٰقَوْمِ ٱعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَٰهٍ غَيْرُهُۥٓ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍۢ ٥٩

Tulimpeleka Nuhu kwa kaumu yake, naye akasema: Enyi kaumu yangu! Muabuduni Mwenyezi Mungu. Nyinyi hamna Mungu ila Yeye. Hakika mimi ninakukhofieni adhabu ya Siku iliyo kuu.

We had certainly sent Noah to his people, and he said, "O my people, worship Allah; you have no deity other than Him. Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a tremendous Day.

قَالَ ٱلْمَلَأُ مِن قَوْمِهِۦٓ إِنَّا لَنَرَىٰكَ فِى ضَلَٰلٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ ٦٠

Wale watukufu katika kaumu yake wakasema: Hakika sisi tunakuona wewe umo katika upotofu ulio dhaahiri.

Said the eminent among his people, "Indeed, we see you in clear error."

قَالَ يَٰقَوْمِ لَيْسَ بِى ضَلَٰلَةٌۭ وَلَٰكِنِّى رَسُولٌۭ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ٦١

Akasema: Enyi watu wangu! Mimi simo katika upotofu, lakini mimi ni Mtume nitokaye kwa Mola Mlezi wa viumbe vyote.

[Noah] said, "O my people, there is not error in me, but I am a messenger from the Lord of the worlds."

أُبَلِّغُكُمْ رِسَٰلَٰتِ رَبِّى وَأَنصَحُ لَكُمْ وَأَعْلَمُ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ ٦٢

Nakufikishieni Ujumbe wa Mola Mlezi wangu, na ninakunasihini; na ninayajua kwa Mwenyezi Mungu msiyo yajua nyinyi.

I convey to you the messages of my Lord and advise you; and I know from Allah what you do not know.

أَوَعَجِبْتُمْ أَن جَآءَكُمْ ذِكْرٌۭ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ عَلَىٰ رَجُلٍۢ مِّنكُمْ لِيُنذِرَكُمْ وَلِتَتَّقُوا۟ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ ٦٣

Je, mnastaajabu kukujieni mawaidha yanayotoka kwa Mola Mlezi wenu kwa njia ya mtu aliye ni mmoja katika nyinyi, ili akuonyeni na ili mumchemngu, na ili mpate kurehemewa?

Then do you wonder that there has come to you a reminder from your Lord through a man from among you, that he may warn you and that you may fear Allah so you might receive mercy."

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَنجَيْنَٰهُ وَٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُۥ فِى ٱلْفُلْكِ وَأَغْرَقْنَا ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَوْمًا عَمِينَ ٦٤

Basi walimkanusha. Nasi tukamwokoa yeye na walio kuwa pamoja naye katika jahazi. Na tukawazamisha wale walio kanusha Ishara zetu. Hakika hao walikuwa watu vipofu.

But they denied him, so We saved him and those who were with him in the ship. And We drowned those who denied Our signs. Indeed, they were a blind people.

۞ وَإِلَىٰ عَادٍ أَخَاهُمْ هُودًۭا ۗ قَالَ يَٰقَوْمِ ٱعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَٰهٍ غَيْرُهُۥٓ ۚ أَفَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ٦٥

Na kwa A'adi tulimpeleka ndugu yao, Hud. Akasema: Enyi watu wangu! Muabuduni Mwenyezi Mungu. Nyinyi hamna mungu ila Yeye. Basi je, hamumchi?

And to the 'Aad [We sent] their brother Hud. He said, "O my people, worship Allah; you have no deity other than Him. Then will you not fear Him?"

قَالَ ٱلْمَلَأُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن قَوْمِهِۦٓ إِنَّا لَنَرَىٰكَ فِى سَفَاهَةٍۢ وَإِنَّا لَنَظُنُّكَ مِنَ ٱلْكَٰذِبِينَ ٦٦

Wakasema watukufu wa wale walio kufuru katika kaumu yake: Sisi tunakuona umo katika upumbavu, na hakika sisi tunakufikiria kuwa wewe ni katika waongo.

Said the eminent ones who disbelieved among his people, "Indeed, we see you in foolishness, and indeed, we think you are of the liars."

قَالَ يَٰقَوْمِ لَيْسَ بِى سَفَاهَةٌۭ وَلَٰكِنِّى رَسُولٌۭ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ٦٧

Akasema: Enyi watu wangu! Mimi sina upumbavu. Lakini mimi ni Mtume niliye toka kwa Mola Mlezi wa viumbe vyote.

[Hud] said, "O my people, there is not foolishness in me, but I am a messenger from the Lord of the worlds."

أُبَلِّغُكُمْ رِسَٰلَٰتِ رَبِّى وَأَنَا۠ لَكُمْ نَاصِحٌ أَمِينٌ ٦٨

Nakufikishieni ujumbe wa Mola wangu Mlezi. Na mimi kwenu ni mwenye kukunasihini, muaminifu.

I convey to you the messages of my Lord, and I am to you a trustworthy adviser.

أَوَعَجِبْتُمْ أَن جَآءَكُمْ ذِكْرٌۭ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ عَلَىٰ رَجُلٍۢ مِّنكُمْ لِيُنذِرَكُمْ ۚ وَٱذْكُرُوٓا۟ إِذْ جَعَلَكُمْ خُلَفَآءَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ قَوْمِ نُوحٍۢ وَزَادَكُمْ فِى ٱلْخَلْقِ بَصْۜطَةًۭ ۖ فَٱذْكُرُوٓا۟ ءَالَآءَ ٱللَّهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ ٦٩

Mnaona ajabu kukufikieni mawaidha yanayo toka kwa Mola wenu Mlezi kwa mtu aliye mmoja wenu nyinyi ili akuonyeni? Na kumbukeni alivyo kufanyeni mshike pahala pa kaumu ya Nuhu, na akakuzidisheni katika umbo. Basi zikumbukeni neema za Mwenyezi Mungu ili mpate kufanikiwa.

Then do you wonder that there has come to you a reminder from your Lord through a man from among you, that he may warn you? And remember when He made you successors after the people of Noah and increased you in stature extensively. So remember the favors of Allah that you might succeed.

قَالُوٓا۟ أَجِئْتَنَا لِنَعْبُدَ ٱللَّهَ وَحْدَهُۥ وَنَذَرَ مَا كَانَ يَعْبُدُ ءَابَآؤُنَا ۖ فَأْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَآ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ ٧٠

Wakasema: Je! Umetujia ili tumuabudu Mwenyezi Mungu peke yake, na tuyaache waliyo kuwa wakiyaabudu baba zetu? Basi tuletee hayo unayo tuahidi, ukiwa miongoni mwa wasemao kweli.

They said, "Have you come to us that we should worship Allah alone and leave what our fathers have worshipped? Then bring us what you promise us, if you should be of the truthful."

قَالَ قَدْ وَقَعَ عَلَيْكُم مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ رِجْسٌۭ وَغَضَبٌ ۖ أَتُجَٰدِلُونَنِى فِىٓ أَسْمَآءٍۢ سَمَّيْتُمُوهَآ أَنتُمْ وَءَابَآؤُكُم مَّا نَزَّلَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَا مِن سُلْطَٰنٍۢ ۚ فَٱنتَظِرُوٓا۟ إِنِّى مَعَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْمُنتَظِرِينَ ٧١

Akasema: Bila ya shaka adhabu na ghadhabu zimekwisha kukuangukieni kutoka kwa Mola wenu Mlezi. Mnabishana nami kwa ajili ya majina tu mliyo yaita nyinyi na baba zenu ambayo kwayo Mwenyezi Mungu hakuteremsha uthibitisho? Basi ngojeni, mimi pia ni pamoja nanyi katika wanao ngoja.

[Hud] said, "Already have defilement and anger fallen upon you from your Lord. Do you dispute with me concerning [mere] names you have named them, you and your fathers, for which Allah has not sent down any authority? Then wait; indeed, I am with you among those who wait."

فَأَنجَيْنَٰهُ وَٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُۥ بِرَحْمَةٍۢ مِّنَّا وَقَطَعْنَا دَابِرَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا ۖ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ ٧٢

Basi tukamwokoa yeye na walio kuwa pamoja naye kwa rehema zetu, na tukakata mizizi ya wale walio zikanusha Ishara zetu, na hawakuwa wenye kuamini.

So We saved him and those with him by mercy from Us. And We eliminated those who denied Our signs, and they were not [at all] believers.

وَإِلَىٰ ثَمُودَ أَخَاهُمْ صَٰلِحًۭا ۗ قَالَ يَٰقَوْمِ ٱعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَٰهٍ غَيْرُهُۥ ۖ قَدْ جَآءَتْكُم بَيِّنَةٌۭ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ ۖ هَٰذِهِۦ نَاقَةُ ٱللَّهِ لَكُمْ ءَايَةًۭ ۖ فَذَرُوهَا تَأْكُلْ فِىٓ أَرْضِ ٱللَّهِ ۖ وَلَا تَمَسُّوهَا بِسُوٓءٍۢ فَيَأْخُذَكُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌۭ ٧٣

Na kwa Thamud tulimpeleka ndugu yao, Saleh. Akasema: Enyi watu wangu! Muabuduni Mwenyezi Mungu. Nyinyi hamna Mungu ila Yeye. Hakika imekwisha kukufikieni Ishara iliyo wazi kutoka kwa Mola wenu Mlezi. Huyu ni ngamia jike wa Mwenyezi Mungu aliye ni Ishara kwenu. Basi mwachieni ale kwenye ardhi ya Mwenyezi Mungu, wala msimdhuru, isije kukushukieni adhabu chungu.

And to the Thamud [We sent] their brother Salih. He said, "O my people, worship Allah; you have no deity other than Him. There has come to you clear evidence from your Lord. This is the she-camel of Allah [sent] to you as a sign. So leave her to eat within Allah 's land and do not touch her with harm, lest there seize you a painful punishment.

وَٱذْكُرُوٓا۟ إِذْ جَعَلَكُمْ خُلَفَآءَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ عَادٍۢ وَبَوَّأَكُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ تَتَّخِذُونَ مِن سُهُولِهَا قُصُورًۭا وَتَنْحِتُونَ ٱلْجِبَالَ بُيُوتًۭا ۖ فَٱذْكُرُوٓا۟ ءَالَآءَ ٱللَّهِ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ ٧٤

Na kumbukeni alivyo kufanyeni wa kushika pahala pa A'adi na akakuwekeni vizuri katika nchi, mnajenga majumba ya fakhari katika nyanda zake, na mnachonga majumba katika milima. Basi zikumbukeni neema za Mwenyezi Mungu wala msitende uovu katika nchi kwa ufisadi.

And remember when He made you successors after the 'Aad and settled you in the land, [and] you take for yourselves palaces from its plains and carve from the mountains, homes. Then remember the favors of Allah and do not commit abuse on the earth, spreading corruption."

قَالَ ٱلْمَلَأُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ مِن قَوْمِهِۦ لِلَّذِينَ ٱسْتُضْعِفُوا۟ لِمَنْ ءَامَنَ مِنْهُمْ أَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ صَٰلِحًۭا مُّرْسَلٌۭ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦ ۚ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّا بِمَآ أُرْسِلَ بِهِۦ مُؤْمِنُونَ ٧٥

Waheshimiwa wa kaumu yake wanao jivuna waliwaambia wanao onewa wenye kuamini miongoni mwao: Je, mnaitakidi ya kwamba Saleh ametumwa na Mola Mlezi wake? Wakasema: Hakika sisi tunayaamini yale aliyo tumwa.

Said the eminent ones who were arrogant among his people to those who were oppressed - to those who believed among them, "Do you [actually] know that Salih is sent from his Lord?" They said, "Indeed we, in that with which he was sent, are believers."

قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسْتَكْبَرُوٓا۟ إِنَّا بِٱلَّذِىٓ ءَامَنتُم بِهِۦ كَٰفِرُونَ ٧٦

Wakasema wale wanao jivuna: Sisi tunayakataa hayo mnayo yaamini.

Said those who were arrogant, "Indeed we, in that which you have believed, are disbelievers."

فَعَقَرُوا۟ ٱلنَّاقَةَ وَعَتَوْا۟ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهِمْ وَقَالُوا۟ يَٰصَٰلِحُ ٱئْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَآ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ٧٧

Na wakamuuwa yule ngamia, na wakaasi amri ya Mola Mlezi wao, na wakasema: Ewe Saleh! Tuletee unayo tuahidi ikiwa wewe ni miongoni mwa Mitume.

So they hamstrung the she-camel and were insolent toward the command of their Lord and said, "O Salih, bring us what you promise us, if you should be of the messengers."

فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلرَّجْفَةُ فَأَصْبَحُوا۟ فِى دَارِهِمْ جَٰثِمِينَ ٧٨

Basi tetemeko la ardhi likawanyakua, na kulipo kucha wakawa majumbani mwao kifudifudi wamekwisha kufa.

So the earthquake seized them, and they became within their home [corpses] fallen prone.

فَتَوَلَّىٰ عَنْهُمْ وَقَالَ يَٰقَوْمِ لَقَدْ أَبْلَغْتُكُمْ رِسَالَةَ رَبِّى وَنَصَحْتُ لَكُمْ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تُحِبُّونَ ٱلنَّٰصِحِينَ ٧٩

Basi Saleh akwaacha na akasema: Enyi watu wangu! Nilikufikishieni Ujumbe wa Mola wangu Mlezi, na nikakunasihini, lakini nyinyi hamwapendi wenye nasaha.

And he turned away from them and said, "O my people, I had certainly conveyed to you the message of my Lord and advised you, but you do not like advisors."

وَلُوطًا إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِۦٓ أَتَأْتُونَ ٱلْفَٰحِشَةَ مَا سَبَقَكُم بِهَا مِنْ أَحَدٍۢ مِّنَ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ٨٠

Na tulimtuma Lut', alipo waambia watu wake: Je, mnafanya uchafu ambao hajakutangulieni yeyote kwa uchafu huo katika viumbe vyote!

And [We had sent] Lot when he said to his people, "Do you commit such immorality as no one has preceded you with from among the worlds?

إِنَّكُمْ لَتَأْتُونَ ٱلرِّجَالَ شَهْوَةًۭ مِّن دُونِ ٱلنِّسَآءِ ۚ بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌۭ مُّسْرِفُونَ ٨١

Hivyo nyinyi mnawaingilia wanaume kwa matamanio mkwawacha wanawake? Kumbe nyinyi ni watu wafujaji!

Indeed, you approach men with desire, instead of women. Rather, you are a transgressing people."

وَمَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوْمِهِۦٓ إِلَّآ أَن قَالُوٓا۟ أَخْرِجُوهُم مِّن قَرْيَتِكُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ أُنَاسٌۭ يَتَطَهَّرُونَ ٨٢

Na haikuwa jawabu ya kaumu yake isipo kuwa kuambizana: Wafukuzeni katika mji wenu, maana hao ni watu wanao jitakasa.

But the answer of his people was only that they said, "Evict them from your city! Indeed, they are men who keep themselves pure."

فَأَنجَيْنَٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱمْرَأَتَهُۥ كَانَتْ مِنَ ٱلْغَٰبِرِينَ ٨٣

Basi tukamwokoa yeye na watu wake, isipo kuwa mkewe, alikuwa miongoni mwa walio bakia nyuma.

So We saved him and his family, except for his wife; she was of those who remained [with the evildoers].

وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِم مَّطَرًۭا ۖ فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ ٨٤

Na tukawamiminia mvua. Basi tazama jinsi ulivyo kuwa mwisho wa wakosefu.

And We rained upon them a rain [of stones]. Then see how was the end of the criminals.

وَإِلَىٰ مَدْيَنَ أَخَاهُمْ شُعَيْبًۭا ۗ قَالَ يَٰقَوْمِ ٱعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَٰهٍ غَيْرُهُۥ ۖ قَدْ جَآءَتْكُم بَيِّنَةٌۭ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ ۖ فَأَوْفُوا۟ ٱلْكَيْلَ وَٱلْمِيزَانَ وَلَا تَبْخَسُوا۟ ٱلنَّاسَ أَشْيَآءَهُمْ وَلَا تُفْسِدُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ بَعْدَ إِصْلَٰحِهَا ۚ ذَٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌۭ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ٨٥

Na kwa watu wa Madyana tulimtuma ndugu yao Shua'ib. Akasema: Enyi watu wangu! Muabuduni Mwenyezi Mungu. Hamna mungu mwengine isipo kuwa Yeye. Imekwisha kufikieni hoja wazi kutoka kwa Mola Mlezi wenu. Basi timizeni sawasawa vipimo na mizani, wala msiwapunje watu vitu vyao, wala msifanye uharibifu katika nchi, baada ya kuwa imekwisha tengenea. Hivi ndivyo bora kwenu ikiwa nyinyi ni Waumini.

And to [the people of] Madyan [We sent] their brother Shu'ayb. He said, "O my people, worship Allah; you have no deity other than Him. There has come to you clear evidence from your Lord. So fulfill the measure and weight and do not deprive people of their due and cause not corruption upon the earth after its reformation. That is better for you, if you should be believers.

وَلَا تَقْعُدُوا۟ بِكُلِّ صِرَٰطٍۢ تُوعِدُونَ وَتَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ مَنْ ءَامَنَ بِهِۦ وَتَبْغُونَهَا عِوَجًۭا ۚ وَٱذْكُرُوٓا۟ إِذْ كُنتُمْ قَلِيلًۭا فَكَثَّرَكُمْ ۖ وَٱنظُرُوا۟ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ ٨٦

Wala msikae katika kila njia mkitisha watu, na kuwazuilia na Njia ya Mwenyezi Mungu wale wenye kumuamini, na mkataka njia ipotoke. Na kumbukeni mlipo kuwa wachache, naye akakufanyeni kuwa wengi. Na tazameni jinsi ulivyo kuwa mwisho wa mafisadi.

And do not sit on every path, threatening and averting from the way of Allah those who believe in Him, seeking to make it [seem] deviant. And remember when you were few and He increased you. And see how was the end of the corrupters.

وَإِن كَانَ طَآئِفَةٌۭ مِّنكُمْ ءَامَنُوا۟ بِٱلَّذِىٓ أُرْسِلْتُ بِهِۦ وَطَآئِفَةٌۭ لَّمْ يُؤْمِنُوا۟ فَٱصْبِرُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ يَحْكُمَ ٱللَّهُ بَيْنَنَا ۚ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ ٱلْحَٰكِمِينَ ٨٧

Na kama liko kundi miongoni mwenu lililo amini haya niliyo tumwa, na kundi jengine halikuamini, basi subirini mpaka Mwenyezi Mungu ahukumu baina yetu. Naye ndiye Mbora wa wenye kuhukumu.

And if there should be a group among you who has believed in that with which I have been sent and a group that has not believed, then be patient until Allah judges between us. And He is the best of judges."

۞ قَالَ ٱلْمَلَأُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ مِن قَوْمِهِۦ لَنُخْرِجَنَّكَ يَٰشُعَيْبُ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مَعَكَ مِن قَرْيَتِنَآ أَوْ لَتَعُودُنَّ فِى مِلَّتِنَا ۚ قَالَ أَوَلَوْ كُنَّا كَٰرِهِينَ ٨٨

WAHESHIMIWA WALIO TAKABARI katika kaumu yake wakasema: Ewe Shua'ib! Tutakutoa wewe pamoja na wale walio kuamini katika mji wetu, au mrejee katika mila yetu. Akasema: Je, ingawa tunaichukia?

Said the eminent ones who were arrogant among his people, "We will surely evict you, O Shu'ayb, and those who have believed with you from our city, or you must return to our religion." He said, "Even if we were unwilling?"

قَدِ ٱفْتَرَيْنَا عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا إِنْ عُدْنَا فِى مِلَّتِكُم بَعْدَ إِذْ نَجَّىٰنَا ٱللَّهُ مِنْهَا ۚ وَمَا يَكُونُ لَنَآ أَن نَّعُودَ فِيهَآ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّنَا ۚ وَسِعَ رَبُّنَا كُلَّ شَىْءٍ عِلْمًا ۚ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ تَوَكَّلْنَا ۚ رَبَّنَا ٱفْتَحْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ قَوْمِنَا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ ٱلْفَٰتِحِينَ ٨٩

Bila ya shaka itakuwa tumemzulia uwongo Mwenyezi Mungu tukirudi katika mila yenu baada ya kwisha tuokoa nayo Mwenyezi Mungu. Wala haiwi kwetu sisi kuirejea mila hiyo, ila akitaka Mwenyezi Mungu, Mola Mlezi wetu. Ujuzi wa Mola Mlezi wetu umeenea katika kila kitu. Kwa Mwenyezi Mungu tunategemea. Ewe Mola Mlezi wetu! Tuhukumie baina yetu na kaumu yetu kwa haki, nawe ndiye mbora wa wanao hukumu.

We would have invented against Allah a lie if we returned to your religion after Allah had saved us from it. And it is not for us to return to it except that Allah, our Lord, should will. Our Lord has encompassed all things in knowledge. Upon Allah we have relied. Our Lord, decide between us and our people in truth, and You are the best of those who give decision."

وَقَالَ ٱلْمَلَأُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن قَوْمِهِۦ لَئِنِ ٱتَّبَعْتُمْ شُعَيْبًا إِنَّكُمْ إِذًۭا لَّخَٰسِرُونَ ٩٠

Na waheshimiwa walio kufuru katika kaumu yake wakasema: Mkimfuata Shua'ib, basi hakika hapo nyinyi mtakuwa mlio khasiri.

Said the eminent ones who disbelieved among his people, "If you should follow Shu'ayb, indeed, you would then be losers."

فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلرَّجْفَةُ فَأَصْبَحُوا۟ فِى دَارِهِمْ جَٰثِمِينَ ٩١

Basi tetemeko la ardhi likawanyakua, na wakaamkia majumbani mwao wamejifudikiza, wamekwisha kufa.

So the earthquake seized them, and they became within their home [corpses] fallen prone.

ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا۟ شُعَيْبًۭا كَأَن لَّمْ يَغْنَوْا۟ فِيهَا ۚ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا۟ شُعَيْبًۭا كَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْخَٰسِرِينَ ٩٢

Wale walio mkanusha Shua'ib wakawa kama kwamba hawakuwako. Walio mkanusha Shua'ib ndio walio kuwa wenye kukhasiri.

Those who denied Shu'ayb - it was as though they had never resided there. Those who denied Shu'ayb - it was they who were the losers.

فَتَوَلَّىٰ عَنْهُمْ وَقَالَ يَٰقَوْمِ لَقَدْ أَبْلَغْتُكُمْ رِسَٰلَٰتِ رَبِّى وَنَصَحْتُ لَكُمْ ۖ فَكَيْفَ ءَاسَىٰ عَلَىٰ قَوْمٍۢ كَٰفِرِينَ ٩٣

Basi akawaachilia mbali na akasema: Enyi kaumu yangu! Nimekufikishieni Ujumbe wa Mola Mlezi wangu, na nimekunasihini; basi vipi niwahuzunikie watu makafiri?

And he turned away from them and said, "O my people, I had certainly conveyed to you the messages of my Lord and advised you, so how could I grieve for a disbelieving people?"

وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا فِى قَرْيَةٍۢ مِّن نَّبِىٍّ إِلَّآ أَخَذْنَآ أَهْلَهَا بِٱلْبَأْسَآءِ وَٱلضَّرَّآءِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَضَّرَّعُونَ ٩٤

Na hatukumtuma Nabii yeyote katika mji ila tuliwapatiliza wakaazi wake kwa taabu na mashaka ili wapate kunyenyekea.

And We sent to no city a prophet [who was denied] except that We seized its people with poverty and hardship that they might humble themselves [to Allah].

ثُمَّ بَدَّلْنَا مَكَانَ ٱلسَّيِّئَةِ ٱلْحَسَنَةَ حَتَّىٰ عَفَوا۟ وَّقَالُوا۟ قَدْ مَسَّ ءَابَآءَنَا ٱلضَّرَّآءُ وَٱلسَّرَّآءُ فَأَخَذْنَٰهُم بَغْتَةًۭ وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ ٩٥

Kisha Sisi hubadilisha mahala pa ubaya kwa wema, hata wakazidi, na wakasema: Taabu na raha ziliwafikia baba zetu. Basi kwa ghafla tukawashika, hali ya kuwa hawajatambua.

Then We exchanged in place of the bad [condition], good, until they increased [and prospered] and said, "Our fathers [also] were touched with hardship and ease." So We seized them suddenly while they did not perceive.

وَلَوْ أَنَّ أَهْلَ ٱلْقُرَىٰٓ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَٱتَّقَوْا۟ لَفَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِم بَرَكَٰتٍۢ مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَٰكِن كَذَّبُوا۟ فَأَخَذْنَٰهُم بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ ٩٦

Na lau kuwa watu wa miji wangeli amini na wakamchamngu, kwa yakini tungeli wafungulia baraka kutoka mbinguni na katika ardhi. Lakini walikanusha basi tukawapatiliza kwa sababu ya yale waliyo kuwa wakiyachuma.

And if only the people of the cities had believed and feared Allah, We would have opened upon them blessings from the heaven and the earth; but they denied [the messengers], so We seized them for what they were earning."

أَفَأَمِنَ أَهْلُ ٱلْقُرَىٰٓ أَن يَأْتِيَهُم بَأْسُنَا بَيَٰتًۭا وَهُمْ نَآئِمُونَ ٩٧

Je, watu wa mijini wameaminisha ya kuwa adhabu yetu haitawafika usiku, nao wamelala?

Then, did the people of the cities feel secure from Our punishment coming to them at night while they were asleep?

أَوَأَمِنَ أَهْلُ ٱلْقُرَىٰٓ أَن يَأْتِيَهُم بَأْسُنَا ضُحًۭى وَهُمْ يَلْعَبُونَ ٩٨

Au watu wa mijini wameaminisha ya kuwa adhabu yetu haitawafika mchana, nao wanacheza?

Or did the people of the cities feel secure from Our punishment coming to them in the morning while they were at play?

أَفَأَمِنُوا۟ مَكْرَ ٱللَّهِ ۚ فَلَا يَأْمَنُ مَكْرَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَّا ٱلْقَوْمُ ٱلْخَٰسِرُونَ ٩٩

Je, wamejiaminisha na mipango ya Mwenyezi Mungu? Kwani hawajiaminishi na mipango ya Mwenyezi Mungu ila watu wenye kukhasiri.

Then did they feel secure from the plan of Allah? But no one feels secure from the plan of Allah except the losing people.

أَوَلَمْ يَهْدِ لِلَّذِينَ يَرِثُونَ ٱلْأَرْضَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ أَهْلِهَآ أَن لَّوْ نَشَآءُ أَصَبْنَٰهُم بِذُنُوبِهِمْ ۚ وَنَطْبَعُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ فَهُمْ لَا يَسْمَعُونَ ١٠٠

Je, hawahidiki hawa wanao rithi ardhi baada ya wale wenyewe kwamba tukitaka tutawapatiliza kwa madhambi yao, na tutapiga muhuri juu ya nyoyo zao, na kwa hivyo hawatasikia?

Has it not become clear to those who inherited the earth after its [previous] people that if We willed, We could afflict them for their sins? But We seal over their hearts so they do not hear.

تِلْكَ ٱلْقُرَىٰ نَقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ أَنۢبَآئِهَا ۚ وَلَقَدْ جَآءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُم بِٱلْبَيِّنَٰتِ فَمَا كَانُوا۟ لِيُؤْمِنُوا۟ بِمَا كَذَّبُوا۟ مِن قَبْلُ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يَطْبَعُ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ ١٠١

Miji hiyo, tunakusimulia baadhi ya khabari zake. Na hapana shaka Mitume wao waliwafikia kwa hoja zilizo waziwazi. Lakini hawakuwa wenye kuamini waliyo yakanusha zamani. Namna hivi Mwenyezi Mungu anazipiga muhuri nyoyo za makafiri.

Those cities - We relate to you, [O Muhammad], some of their news. And certainly did their messengers come to them with clear proofs, but they were not to believe in that which they had denied before. Thus does Allah seal over the hearts of the disbelievers.

وَمَا وَجَدْنَا لِأَكْثَرِهِم مِّنْ عَهْدٍۢ ۖ وَإِن وَجَدْنَآ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَفَٰسِقِينَ ١٠٢

Wala hatukuwaona wengi wao kuwa wanatimiza ahadi; bali kwa hakika tuliwakuta wengi wao ni wapotofu.

And We did not find for most of them any covenant; but indeed, We found most of them defiantly disobedient.

ثُمَّ بَعَثْنَا مِنۢ بَعْدِهِم مُّوسَىٰ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَإِي۟هِۦ فَظَلَمُوا۟ بِهَا ۖ فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ ١٠٣

Kisha baada yao tukamtuma Musa na Ishara zetu kwa Firauni na waheshimiwa wake. Nao wakazikataa. Basi tazama ulikuwaje mwisho wa waharibifu.

Then We sent after them Moses with Our signs to Pharaoh and his establishment, but they were unjust toward them. So see how was the end of the corrupters.

وَقَالَ مُوسَىٰ يَٰفِرْعَوْنُ إِنِّى رَسُولٌۭ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ١٠٤

Na Musa alisema: Ewe Firauni! Hakika mimi ni Mtume nitokaye kwa Mola Mlezi wa viumbe vyote.

And Moses said, "O Pharaoh, I am a messenger from the Lord of the worlds

حَقِيقٌ عَلَىٰٓ أَن لَّآ أَقُولَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ إِلَّا ٱلْحَقَّ ۚ قَدْ جِئْتُكُم بِبَيِّنَةٍۢ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ فَأَرْسِلْ مَعِىَ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ ١٠٥

Inafaa nisiseme juu ya Mwenyezi Mungu ila lilio la Haki. Nami hakika nimekujieni na dalili waziwazi kutokana na Mola Mlezi wenu. Basi waache Wana wa Israili wende nami.

[Who is] obligated not to say about Allah except the truth. I have come to you with clear evidence from your Lord, so send with me the Children of Israel."

قَالَ إِن كُنتَ جِئْتَ بِـَٔايَةٍۢ فَأْتِ بِهَآ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ ١٠٦

Akasema Firauni: Ikiwa umekuja na Ishara, basi ilete ukiwa ni katika wasemao kweli.

[Pharaoh] said, "If you have come with a sign, then bring it forth, if you should be of the truthful."

فَأَلْقَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ ثُعْبَانٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ ١٠٧

Basi akaitupa fimbo yake, na mara ikawa nyoka dhaahiri.

So Moses threw his staff, and suddenly it was a serpent, manifest.

وَنَزَعَ يَدَهُۥ فَإِذَا هِىَ بَيْضَآءُ لِلنَّٰظِرِينَ ١٠٨

Na akatoa mkono wake, mara ukawa mweupe kwa watazamao.

And he drew out his hand; thereupon it was white [with radiance] for the observers.

قَالَ ٱلْمَلَأُ مِن قَوْمِ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَسَٰحِرٌ عَلِيمٌۭ ١٠٩

Wakasema waheshimiwa wa kaumu ya Firauni: Hakika huyo ni mchawi mjuzi.

Said the eminent among the people of Pharaoh, "Indeed, this is a learned magician

يُرِيدُ أَن يُخْرِجَكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِكُمْ ۖ فَمَاذَا تَأْمُرُونَ ١١٠

Anataka kukutoeni katika nchi yenu. Basi mnatoa shauri gani?

Who wants to expel you from your land [through magic], so what do you instruct?"

قَالُوٓا۟ أَرْجِهْ وَأَخَاهُ وَأَرْسِلْ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَٰشِرِينَ ١١١

Wakasema: Mwache kidogo yeye na nduguye, na watume mijini wakusanyao,

They said, "Postpone [the matter of] him and his brother and send among the cities gatherers

يَأْتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَٰحِرٍ عَلِيمٍۢ ١١٢

Wakuletee kila mchawi mjuzi.

Who will bring you every learned magician."

وَجَآءَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجْرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحْنُ ٱلْغَٰلِبِينَ ١١٣

Wakaja wachawi kwa Firauni, wakasema: Hakika tutapata ujira ikiwa tutashinda.

And the magicians came to Pharaoh. They said, "Indeed for us is a reward if we are the predominant."

قَالَ نَعَمْ وَإِنَّكُمْ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ ١١٤

Akasema: Naam! Nanyi bila ya shaka mtakuwa katika wa karibu nami.

He said, "Yes, and, [moreover], you will be among those made near [to me]."

قَالُوا۟ يَٰمُوسَىٰٓ إِمَّآ أَن تُلْقِىَ وَإِمَّآ أَن نَّكُونَ نَحْنُ ٱلْمُلْقِينَ ١١٥

Wakasema: Ewe Musa! Je, utatupa wewe, au tutakuwa sisi tutao tupa?

They said, "O Moses, either you throw [your staff], or we will be the ones to throw [first]."

قَالَ أَلْقُوا۟ ۖ فَلَمَّآ أَلْقَوْا۟ سَحَرُوٓا۟ أَعْيُنَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَٱسْتَرْهَبُوهُمْ وَجَآءُو بِسِحْرٍ عَظِيمٍۢ ١١٦

Akasema: Tupeni! Basi walipo tupa waliyazuga macho ya watu na wakawatia khofu, na wakaleta uchawi mkubwa.

He said, "Throw," and when they threw, they bewitched the eyes of the people and struck terror into them, and they presented a great [feat of] magic.

۞ وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنْ أَلْقِ عَصَاكَ ۖ فَإِذَا هِىَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ ١١٧

Nasi tukamfunulia Musa kumwambia: Tupa fimbo yako. Mara ikavimeza vyote vile walivyo vibuni.

And We inspired to Moses, "Throw your staff," and at once it devoured what they were falsifying.

فَوَقَعَ ٱلْحَقُّ وَبَطَلَ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ ١١٨

Kweli ikathibiti na yakabat'ilika waliyo kuwa wakiyatenda.

So the truth was established, and abolished was what they were doing.

فَغُلِبُوا۟ هُنَالِكَ وَٱنقَلَبُوا۟ صَٰغِرِينَ ١١٩

Kwa hivyo walishindwa hapo, na wakageuka kuwa wadogo.

And Pharaoh and his people were overcome right there and became debased.

وَأُلْقِىَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ سَٰجِدِينَ ١٢٠

Na wachawi wakapoomoka wakisujudu.

And the magicians fell down in prostration [to Allah].

قَالُوٓا۟ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ١٢١

Wakasema: Tumemuamini Mola Mlezi wa viumbe vyote,

They said, "We have believed in the Lord of the worlds,

رَبِّ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ ١٢٢

Mola Mlezi wa Musa na Haarun.

The Lord of Moses and Aaron."

قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ ءَامَنتُم بِهِۦ قَبْلَ أَنْ ءَاذَنَ لَكُمْ ۖ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَمَكْرٌۭ مَّكَرْتُمُوهُ فِى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ لِتُخْرِجُوا۟ مِنْهَآ أَهْلَهَا ۖ فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ١٢٣

Akasema Firauni: Mmemuamini kabla sijakupeni idhini? Hizi ni njama mlizo panga mjini mpate kuwatoa wenyewe. Lakini karibu mtajua!

Said Pharaoh, "You believed in him before I gave you permission. Indeed, this is a conspiracy which you conspired in the city to expel therefrom its people. But you are going to know.

لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُم مِّنْ خِلَٰفٍۢ ثُمَّ لَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ١٢٤

Lazima nitaikata mikono yenu na miguu yenu mbali mbali. Kisha nitakutundikeni misalabani.

I will surely cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides; then I will surely crucify you all."

قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ ١٢٥

Wakasema: Sisi ni wenye kurejea kwa Mola wetu Mlezi.

They said, "Indeed, to our Lord we will return.

وَمَا تَنقِمُ مِنَّآ إِلَّآ أَنْ ءَامَنَّا بِـَٔايَٰتِ رَبِّنَا لَمَّا جَآءَتْنَا ۚ رَبَّنَآ أَفْرِغْ عَلَيْنَا صَبْرًۭا وَتَوَفَّنَا مُسْلِمِينَ ١٢٦

Nawe hukuudhika nasi ila kwa kuwa tumeziamini Ishara za Mola Mlezi wetu zilipo tujia. Ewe Mola Mlezi wetu! Tumiminie uvumilivu na utufishe hali ni Waislamu.

And you do not resent us except because we believed in the signs of our Lord when they came to us. Our Lord, pour upon us patience and let us die as Muslims [in submission to You]."

وَقَالَ ٱلْمَلَأُ مِن قَوْمِ فِرْعَوْنَ أَتَذَرُ مُوسَىٰ وَقَوْمَهُۥ لِيُفْسِدُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَيَذَرَكَ وَءَالِهَتَكَ ۚ قَالَ سَنُقَتِّلُ أَبْنَآءَهُمْ وَنَسْتَحْىِۦ نِسَآءَهُمْ وَإِنَّا فَوْقَهُمْ قَٰهِرُونَ ١٢٧

Wakasema waheshimiwa wa kaumu ya Firauni: Unamuacha Musa na watu wake walete uharibifu katika nchi na wakuache wewe na miungu yako? Akasema: Tutawauwa wavulana wao, na tutawaacha hai wanawake wao. Na bila ya shaka sisi ni wenye nguvu juu yao.

And the eminent among the people of Pharaoh said," Will you leave Moses and his people to cause corruption in the land and abandon you and your gods?" [Pharaoh] said, "We will kill their sons and keep their women alive; and indeed, we are subjugators over them."

قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِقَوْمِهِ ٱسْتَعِينُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱصْبِرُوٓا۟ ۖ إِنَّ ٱلْأَرْضَ لِلَّهِ يُورِثُهَا مَن يَشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِۦ ۖ وَٱلْعَٰقِبَةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ ١٢٨

Musa akawaambia watu wake: Ombeni msaada kwa Mwenyezi Mungu, na subirini. Hakika ardhi ni ya Mwenyezi Mungu. Naye humrithisha amtakaye katika waja wake. Na mwisho ni wa wachamngu.

Said Moses to his people, "Seek help through Allah and be patient. Indeed, the earth belongs to Allah. He causes to inherit it whom He wills of His servants. And the [best] outcome is for the righteous."

قَالُوٓا۟ أُوذِينَا مِن قَبْلِ أَن تَأْتِيَنَا وَمِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا جِئْتَنَا ۚ قَالَ عَسَىٰ رَبُّكُمْ أَن يُهْلِكَ عَدُوَّكُمْ وَيَسْتَخْلِفَكُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَيَنظُرَ كَيْفَ تَعْمَلُونَ ١٢٩

Wakasema: Tumeudhiwa kabla hujatufikia, na baada ya wewe kutujia! Musa akasema: Huenda Mola wenu Mlezi akamhiliki adui wenu, na akakufanyeni nyinyi ndio wa kufuatia kushika nchi, ili atazame mtavyo kuja tenda nyinyi.

They said, "We have been harmed before you came to us and after you have come to us." He said, "Perhaps your Lord will destroy your enemy and grant you succession in the land and see how you will do."

وَلَقَدْ أَخَذْنَآ ءَالَ فِرْعَوْنَ بِٱلسِّنِينَ وَنَقْصٍۢ مِّنَ ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَذَّكَّرُونَ ١٣٠

Na hakika tuliwaadhibu watu wa Firauni kwa miyaka (ya ukame) na kwa upungufu wa mazao, ili wapate kukumbuka.

And We certainly seized the people of Pharaoh with years of famine and a deficiency in fruits that perhaps they would be reminded.

فَإِذَا جَآءَتْهُمُ ٱلْحَسَنَةُ قَالُوا۟ لَنَا هَٰذِهِۦ ۖ وَإِن تُصِبْهُمْ سَيِّئَةٌۭ يَطَّيَّرُوا۟ بِمُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥٓ ۗ أَلَآ إِنَّمَا طَٰٓئِرُهُمْ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ١٣١

Likiwafika jema wakisema: Haya ni haki yetu. Na likiwafika ovu husema: Musa na walio pamoja naye ni wakorofi. Hakika ukorofi wao huo unao wafikia unatoka kwa Mwenyezi Mungu. Lakini wengi wao hawajui.

But when good came to them, they said, "This is ours [by right]." And if a bad [condition] struck them, they saw an evil omen in Moses and those with him. Unquestionably, their fortune is with Allah, but most of them do not know.

وَقَالُوا۟ مَهْمَا تَأْتِنَا بِهِۦ مِنْ ءَايَةٍۢ لِّتَسْحَرَنَا بِهَا فَمَا نَحْنُ لَكَ بِمُؤْمِنِينَ ١٣٢

Na wakisema: Hata ukituletea Ishara yoyote kutuzuga hatuto kuamini.

And they said, "No matter what sign you bring us with which to bewitch us, we will not be believers in you."

فَأَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلطُّوفَانَ وَٱلْجَرَادَ وَٱلْقُمَّلَ وَٱلضَّفَادِعَ وَٱلدَّمَ ءَايَٰتٍۢ مُّفَصَّلَٰتٍۢ فَٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ وَكَانُوا۟ قَوْمًۭا مُّجْرِمِينَ ١٣٣

Basi tukawapelekea tufani, na nzige, na chawa, na vyura, na damu, kuwa ni Ishara mbali mbali. Nao wakapanda kiburi, na wakawa watu wakosefu.

So We sent upon them the flood and locusts and lice and frogs and blood as distinct signs, but they were arrogant and were a criminal people.

وَلَمَّا وَقَعَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلرِّجْزُ قَالُوا۟ يَٰمُوسَى ٱدْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ بِمَا عَهِدَ عِندَكَ ۖ لَئِن كَشَفْتَ عَنَّا ٱلرِّجْزَ لَنُؤْمِنَنَّ لَكَ وَلَنُرْسِلَنَّ مَعَكَ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ ١٣٤

Na ilipo waangukia adhabu wakasema: Ewe Musa! Tuombee kwa Mola wako Mlezi kwa aliyo kuahidi. Ukituondolea adhabu hii hapana shaka tutakuamini, na tutawaachilia Wana wa Israili wende nawe.

And when the punishment descended upon them, they said, "O Moses, invoke for us your Lord by what He has promised you. If you [can] remove the punishment from us, we will surely believe you, and we will send with you the Children of Israel."

فَلَمَّا كَشَفْنَا عَنْهُمُ ٱلرِّجْزَ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ هُم بَٰلِغُوهُ إِذَا هُمْ يَنكُثُونَ ١٣٥

Lakini tukiwaondolea adhabu mpaka muda fulani wao waufikie, mara wakivunja ahadi yao.

But when We removed the punishment from them until a term which they were to reach, then at once they broke their word.

فَٱنتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ فَأَغْرَقْنَٰهُمْ فِى ٱلْيَمِّ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا وَكَانُوا۟ عَنْهَا غَٰفِلِينَ ١٣٦

Basi tuliwapatiliza, tuka- wazamisha baharini kwa sababu walizikanusha Ishara zetu, na wakaghafilika nazo.

So We took retribution from them, and We drowned them in the sea because they denied Our signs and were heedless of them.

وَأَوْرَثْنَا ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا۟ يُسْتَضْعَفُونَ مَشَٰرِقَ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَغَٰرِبَهَا ٱلَّتِى بَٰرَكْنَا فِيهَا ۖ وَتَمَّتْ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ ٱلْحُسْنَىٰ عَلَىٰ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ بِمَا صَبَرُوا۟ ۖ وَدَمَّرْنَا مَا كَانَ يَصْنَعُ فِرْعَوْنُ وَقَوْمُهُۥ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْرِشُونَ ١٣٧

Na tukawarithisha watu walio kuwa wanadharauliwa mashariki na magharibi ya ardhi tuliyo ibariki. Na likatimia neno jema la Mola Mlezi wako juu ya Wana wa Israili, kwa vile walivyo subiri. Na tukayaangamiza aliyo kuwa akiyafanya Firauni na kaumu yake, na waliyo kuwa wakiyajenga.

And We caused the people who had been oppressed to inherit the eastern regions of the land and the western ones, which We had blessed. And the good word of your Lord was fulfilled for the Children of Israel because of what they had patiently endured. And We destroyed [all] that Pharaoh and his people were producing and what they had been building.

وَجَٰوَزْنَا بِبَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱلْبَحْرَ فَأَتَوْا۟ عَلَىٰ قَوْمٍۢ يَعْكُفُونَ عَلَىٰٓ أَصْنَامٍۢ لَّهُمْ ۚ قَالُوا۟ يَٰمُوسَى ٱجْعَل لَّنَآ إِلَٰهًۭا كَمَا لَهُمْ ءَالِهَةٌۭ ۚ قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ قَوْمٌۭ تَجْهَلُونَ ١٣٨

Na tukawavusha bahari Wana wa Israili, wakafika kwa watu wanao abudu masanamu yao. Wakasema: Ewe Musa! Hebu tufanyie na sisi miungu kama hawa walivyo kuwa na miungu. Musa akasema: Hakika nyinyi ni watu msio jua kitu.

And We took the Children of Israel across the sea; then they came upon a people intent in devotion to [some] idols of theirs. They said, "O Moses, make for us a god just as they have gods." He said, "Indeed, you are a people behaving ignorantly.

إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ مُتَبَّرٌۭ مَّا هُمْ فِيهِ وَبَٰطِلٌۭ مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ ١٣٩

Hakika haya waliyo nayo watu hawa yatakuja angamia, na hayo waliyo kuwa wakiyafanya yamepotea bure.

Indeed, those [worshippers] - destroyed is that in which they are [engaged], and worthless is whatever they were doing."

قَالَ أَغَيْرَ ٱللَّهِ أَبْغِيكُمْ إِلَٰهًۭا وَهُوَ فَضَّلَكُمْ عَلَى ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ١٤٠

Akasema: Je, nikutafutieni mungu asiye kuwa Mwenyezi Mungu, na Yeye ndiye aliye kufadhilisheni juu ya viumbe vyote?

He said, "Is it other than Allah I should desire for you as a god while He has preferred you over the worlds?"

وَإِذْ أَنجَيْنَٰكُم مِّنْ ءَالِ فِرْعَوْنَ يَسُومُونَكُمْ سُوٓءَ ٱلْعَذَابِ ۖ يُقَتِّلُونَ أَبْنَآءَكُمْ وَيَسْتَحْيُونَ نِسَآءَكُمْ ۚ وَفِى ذَٰلِكُم بَلَآءٌۭ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ عَظِيمٌۭ ١٤١

Na pale tulipo kuokoeni kwa watu wa Firauni walio kupeni adhabu za mwisho wa uovu. Wakiwauwa wavulana wenu, na wakawaacha hai wanawake wenu. Na katika hayo yalikuwa majaribio makubwa kutokana na Mola wenu Mlezi.

And [recall, O Children of Israel], when We saved you from the people of Pharaoh, [who were] afflicting you with the worst torment - killing your sons and keeping your women alive. And in that was a great trial from your Lord.

۞ وَوَٰعَدْنَا مُوسَىٰ ثَلَٰثِينَ لَيْلَةًۭ وَأَتْمَمْنَٰهَا بِعَشْرٍۢ فَتَمَّ مِيقَٰتُ رَبِّهِۦٓ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةًۭ ۚ وَقَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِأَخِيهِ هَٰرُونَ ٱخْلُفْنِى فِى قَوْمِى وَأَصْلِحْ وَلَا تَتَّبِعْ سَبِيلَ ٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ ١٤٢

Tulimuahidi Musa masiku thalathini na tukayatimiza kwa kumi; ikatimia miadi ya Mola wake Mlezi masiku arubaini. Na Musa akamwambia nduguye Haarun: Shika mahala pangu kwa watu wangu na utengeneze wala usifuate njia ya waharibifu.

And We made an appointment with Moses for thirty nights and perfected them by [the addition of] ten; so the term of his Lord was completed as forty nights. And Moses said to his brother Aaron, "Take my place among my people, do right [by them], and do not follow the way of the corrupters."

وَلَمَّا جَآءَ مُوسَىٰ لِمِيقَٰتِنَا وَكَلَّمَهُۥ رَبُّهُۥ قَالَ رَبِّ أَرِنِىٓ أَنظُرْ إِلَيْكَ ۚ قَالَ لَن تَرَىٰنِى وَلَٰكِنِ ٱنظُرْ إِلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ فَإِنِ ٱسْتَقَرَّ مَكَانَهُۥ فَسَوْفَ تَرَىٰنِى ۚ فَلَمَّا تَجَلَّىٰ رَبُّهُۥ لِلْجَبَلِ جَعَلَهُۥ دَكًّۭا وَخَرَّ مُوسَىٰ صَعِقًۭا ۚ فَلَمَّآ أَفَاقَ قَالَ سُبْحَٰنَكَ تُبْتُ إِلَيْكَ وَأَنَا۠ أَوَّلُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ١٤٣

Na alipo kuja Musa kwenye miadi yetu, na Mola wake Mlezi akamsemeza, alisema: Mola wangu Mlezi! Nionyeshe nikutazame. Mwenyezi Mungu akasema: Hutoniona. Lakini utazame huo mlima. Ukibaki pahala pake basi utaniona. Basi alipo jionyesha Mola Mlezi wake kwa mlima, aliufanya uvurugike, na Musa akaanguka chini amezimia. Alipo zindukana alisema: Subhanaka, Umetakasika! Natubu kwako, na mimi ni wa kwanza wa Waumini.

And when Moses arrived at Our appointed time and his Lord spoke to him, he said, "My Lord, show me [Yourself] that I may look at You." [Allah] said, "You will not see Me, but look at the mountain; if it should remain in place, then you will see Me." But when his Lord appeared to the mountain, He rendered it level, and Moses fell unconscious. And when he awoke, he said, "Exalted are You! I have repented to You, and I am the first of the believers."

قَالَ يَٰمُوسَىٰٓ إِنِّى ٱصْطَفَيْتُكَ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ بِرِسَٰلَٰتِى وَبِكَلَٰمِى فَخُذْ مَآ ءَاتَيْتُكَ وَكُن مِّنَ ٱلشَّٰكِرِينَ ١٤٤

(Mwenyezi Mungu) akasema: Ewe Musa! Mimi nimekuteuwa wende kwa watu na Ujumbe wangu na maneno yangu. Basi chukua niliyo kupa na uwe katika wanao shukuru.

[Allah] said, "O Moses, I have chosen you over the people with My messages and My words [to you]. So take what I have given you and be among the grateful."

وَكَتَبْنَا لَهُۥ فِى ٱلْأَلْوَاحِ مِن كُلِّ شَىْءٍۢ مَّوْعِظَةًۭ وَتَفْصِيلًۭا لِّكُلِّ شَىْءٍۢ فَخُذْهَا بِقُوَّةٍۢ وَأْمُرْ قَوْمَكَ يَأْخُذُوا۟ بِأَحْسَنِهَا ۚ سَأُو۟رِيكُمْ دَارَ ٱلْفَٰسِقِينَ ١٤٥

Na tukamuandikia katika mbao kila kitu, mawaidha na maelezo ya mambo yote. (Tukamwambia): Basi yashike kwa nguvu na uwaamrishe watu wako wayashike kwa ubora wake. Nami nitakuonyesheni makaazi ya wapotofu.

And We wrote for him on the tablets [something] of all things - instruction and explanation for all things, [saying], "Take them with determination and order your people to take the best of it. I will show you the home of the defiantly disobedient."

سَأَصْرِفُ عَنْ ءَايَٰتِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَكَبَّرُونَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ ٱلْحَقِّ وَإِن يَرَوْا۟ كُلَّ ءَايَةٍۢ لَّا يُؤْمِنُوا۟ بِهَا وَإِن يَرَوْا۟ سَبِيلَ ٱلرُّشْدِ لَا يَتَّخِذُوهُ سَبِيلًۭا وَإِن يَرَوْا۟ سَبِيلَ ٱلْغَىِّ يَتَّخِذُوهُ سَبِيلًۭا ۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا وَكَانُوا۟ عَنْهَا غَٰفِلِينَ ١٤٦

Nitawatenga na Ishara zangu wale wanao fanya kiburi katika nchi bila ya haki. Na wao wakiona kila Ishara hawaiamini. Wakiiona njia ya uwongofu hawaishiki kuwa ndiyo njia; lakini wakiiona njia ya upotofu wanaishika kuwa ndiyo njia. Hayo ni kwa sababu wamezikanusha Ishara zetu, na wameghafilika nazo.

I will turn away from My signs those who are arrogant upon the earth without right; and if they should see every sign, they will not believe in it. And if they see the way of consciousness, they will not adopt it as a way; but if they see the way of error, they will adopt it as a way. That is because they have denied Our signs and they were heedless of them.

وَٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا وَلِقَآءِ ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ حَبِطَتْ أَعْمَٰلُهُمْ ۚ هَلْ يُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ ١٤٧

Na walio zikanusha Ishara zetu na mkutano wa Akhera a'mali zao zimeharibika. Kwani watalipwa ila kwa yale waliyo kuwa wakiyatenda?

Those who denied Our signs and the meeting of the Hereafter - their deeds have become worthless. Are they recompensed except for what they used to do?

وَٱتَّخَذَ قَوْمُ مُوسَىٰ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِۦ مِنْ حُلِيِّهِمْ عِجْلًۭا جَسَدًۭا لَّهُۥ خُوَارٌ ۚ أَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ أَنَّهُۥ لَا يُكَلِّمُهُمْ وَلَا يَهْدِيهِمْ سَبِيلًا ۘ ٱتَّخَذُوهُ وَكَانُوا۟ ظَٰلِمِينَ ١٤٨

Na baada yake walimfanya ndama kutokana na mapambo yao (kumuabudu), kiwiliwili tu kilicho kuwa na sauti. Hivyo, hawakuona kuwa hawasemezi wala hawaongoi njia? Wakamuabudu, na wakawa wenye kudhulumu.

And the people of Moses made, after [his departure], from their ornaments a calf - an image having a lowing sound. Did they not see that it could neither speak to them nor guide them to a way? They took it [for worship], and they were wrongdoers.

وَلَمَّا سُقِطَ فِىٓ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَرَأَوْا۟ أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ ضَلُّوا۟ قَالُوا۟ لَئِن لَّمْ يَرْحَمْنَا رَبُّنَا وَيَغْفِرْ لَنَا لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْخَٰسِرِينَ ١٤٩

Na walipo juta na wakaona ya kwamba wamekwisha potea, walisema: Ikiwa Mola wetu Mlezi hakuturehemu na akatusamehe, bila ya shaka tutakuwa miongoni mwa walio khasiri.

And when regret overcame them and they saw that they had gone astray, they said, "If our Lord does not have mercy upon us and forgive us, we will surely be among the losers."

وَلَمَّا رَجَعَ مُوسَىٰٓ إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦ غَضْبَٰنَ أَسِفًۭا قَالَ بِئْسَمَا خَلَفْتُمُونِى مِنۢ بَعْدِىٓ ۖ أَعَجِلْتُمْ أَمْرَ رَبِّكُمْ ۖ وَأَلْقَى ٱلْأَلْوَاحَ وَأَخَذَ بِرَأْسِ أَخِيهِ يَجُرُّهُۥٓ إِلَيْهِ ۚ قَالَ ٱبْنَ أُمَّ إِنَّ ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱسْتَضْعَفُونِى وَكَادُوا۟ يَقْتُلُونَنِى فَلَا تُشْمِتْ بِىَ ٱلْأَعْدَآءَ وَلَا تَجْعَلْنِى مَعَ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ١٥٠

Na alipo rudi Musa kwa watu wake, naye amekasirika na kuhuzunika, alisema: Ni maovu yalioje mlio nifanyia nyuma yangu! Je, mmeitangulia amri ya Mola wenu Mlezi? Na akaziweka chini zile mbao, na akamkamata kichwa ndugu yake akimvutia kwake. (Haarun) akasema: Ewe mwana wa mama yangu! Hakika hawa watu wamenidharau, na wakakaribia kuniuwa. Basi usiwafurahishe maadui juu yangu, wala usinifanye pamoja na watu madhaalimu.

And when Moses returned to his people, angry and grieved, he said, "How wretched is that by which you have replaced me after [my departure]. Were you impatient over the matter of your Lord?" And he threw down the tablets and seized his brother by [the hair of] his head, pulling him toward him. [Aaron] said, "O son of my mother, indeed the people oppressed me and were about to kill me, so let not the enemies rejoice over me and do not place me among the wrongdoing people."

قَالَ رَبِّ ٱغْفِرْ لِى وَلِأَخِى وَأَدْخِلْنَا فِى رَحْمَتِكَ ۖ وَأَنتَ أَرْحَمُ ٱلرَّٰحِمِينَ ١٥١

(Musa) akasema: Mola Mlezi wangu! Nisamehe mimi na ndugu yangu, na ututie katika rehema yako. Nawe ni Mwenye kurehemu kushinda wote wenye kurehemu.

[Moses] said, "My Lord, forgive me and my brother and admit us into Your mercy, for You are the most merciful of the merciful."

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّخَذُوا۟ ٱلْعِجْلَ سَيَنَالُهُمْ غَضَبٌۭ مِّن رَّبِّهِمْ وَذِلَّةٌۭ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا ۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُفْتَرِينَ ١٥٢

Hakika wale walio muabudu ndama, itawapata ghadhabu ya Mola wao Mlezi na madhila katika maisha ya dunia. Na hivi ndivyo tunavyo walipa wazushi.

Indeed, those who took the calf [for worship] will obtain anger from their Lord and humiliation in the life of this world, and thus do We recompense the inventors [of falsehood].

وَٱلَّذِينَ عَمِلُوا۟ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ ثُمَّ تَابُوا۟ مِنۢ بَعْدِهَا وَءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ مِنۢ بَعْدِهَا لَغَفُورٌۭ رَّحِيمٌۭ ١٥٣

Na walio tenda maovu, kisha wakatubia baada yake na wakaamini, hapana shaka kuwa Mola Mlezi wako baada ya hayo ni Mwenye kusamehe Mwenye kurehemu.

But those who committed misdeeds and then repented after them and believed - indeed your Lord, thereafter, is Forgiving and Merciful.

وَلَمَّا سَكَتَ عَن مُّوسَى ٱلْغَضَبُ أَخَذَ ٱلْأَلْوَاحَ ۖ وَفِى نُسْخَتِهَا هُدًۭى وَرَحْمَةٌۭ لِّلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِرَبِّهِمْ يَرْهَبُونَ ١٥٤

Na Musa ilipo mtulia ghadhabu aliziokota zile mbao. Na katika maandiko yake mna uwongofu na rehema kwa wanao mwogopa Mola wao Mlezi.

And when the anger subsided in Moses, he took up the tablets; and in their inscription was guidance and mercy for those who are fearful of their Lord.

وَٱخْتَارَ مُوسَىٰ قَوْمَهُۥ سَبْعِينَ رَجُلًۭا لِّمِيقَٰتِنَا ۖ فَلَمَّآ أَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلرَّجْفَةُ قَالَ رَبِّ لَوْ شِئْتَ أَهْلَكْتَهُم مِّن قَبْلُ وَإِيَّٰىَ ۖ أَتُهْلِكُنَا بِمَا فَعَلَ ٱلسُّفَهَآءُ مِنَّآ ۖ إِنْ هِىَ إِلَّا فِتْنَتُكَ تُضِلُّ بِهَا مَن تَشَآءُ وَتَهْدِى مَن تَشَآءُ ۖ أَنتَ وَلِيُّنَا فَٱغْفِرْ لَنَا وَٱرْحَمْنَا ۖ وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ ٱلْغَٰفِرِينَ ١٥٥

Na Musa akawateuwa watu sabiini katika kaumu yake kwa miadi yetu. Na ulipo fika mtetemeko mkubwa alisema: Ewe Mola wangu Mlezi! Ungeli taka ungeli wahiliki wao na mimi zamani! Unatuhiliki kwa waliyo yafanya wajinga katika sisi? Haya si chochote ila ni mtihani wako, umpoteze umtakaye na umhidi umtakaye. Wewe ndiye Rafiki Mlinzi wetu. Basi tughufirie na uturehemu. Na Wewe ndiye mbora wa kughufiria.

And Moses chose from his people seventy men for Our appointment. And when the earthquake seized them, he said, "My Lord, if You had willed, You could have destroyed them before and me [as well]. Would You destroy us for what the foolish among us have done? This is not but Your trial by which You send astray whom You will and guide whom You will. You are our Protector, so forgive us and have mercy upon us; and You are the best of forgivers.

۞ وَٱكْتُبْ لَنَا فِى هَٰذِهِ ٱلدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةًۭ وَفِى ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ إِنَّا هُدْنَآ إِلَيْكَ ۚ قَالَ عَذَابِىٓ أُصِيبُ بِهِۦ مَنْ أَشَآءُ ۖ وَرَحْمَتِى وَسِعَتْ كُلَّ شَىْءٍۢ ۚ فَسَأَكْتُبُهَا لِلَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَ وَيُؤْتُونَ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا يُؤْمِنُونَ ١٥٦

Na utuandikie mema katika dunia hii na katika Akhera. Sisi tumerejea kwako. (Mwenyezi Mungu) akasema: Adhabu yangu nitamsibu nayo nimtakaye. Na rehema yangu imeenea kila kitu. Lakini nitawaandikia khasa wanao mchamngu, na wanao toa Zaka, na wale ambao wanaziamini Ishara zetu,

And decree for us in this world [that which is] good and [also] in the Hereafter; indeed, we have turned back to You." [Allah] said, "My punishment - I afflict with it whom I will, but My mercy encompasses all things." So I will decree it [especially] for those who fear Me and give zakah and those who believe in Our verses -

ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَّبِعُونَ ٱلرَّسُولَ ٱلنَّبِىَّ ٱلْأُمِّىَّ ٱلَّذِى يَجِدُونَهُۥ مَكْتُوبًا عِندَهُمْ فِى ٱلتَّوْرَىٰةِ وَٱلْإِنجِيلِ يَأْمُرُهُم بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَىٰهُمْ عَنِ ٱلْمُنكَرِ وَيُحِلُّ لَهُمُ ٱلطَّيِّبَٰتِ وَيُحَرِّمُ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْخَبَٰٓئِثَ وَيَضَعُ عَنْهُمْ إِصْرَهُمْ وَٱلْأَغْلَٰلَ ٱلَّتِى كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ ۚ فَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ بِهِۦ وَعَزَّرُوهُ وَنَصَرُوهُ وَٱتَّبَعُوا۟ ٱلنُّورَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أُنزِلَ مَعَهُۥٓ ۙ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُفْلِحُونَ ١٥٧

Ambao kwamba wanamfuata huyo Mtume, Nabii, asiye soma wala kuandika, wanaye mkuta kaandikwa kwao katika Taurati na Injili, anaye waamrisha mema na anawakanya maovu, na anawahalalishia vizuri, na ana waharimishia viovu, na anawaondolea mizigo yao na minyororo iliyo kuwa juu yao. Basi wale walio muamini yeye, na wakamhishimu, na wakamsaidia, na wakaifuata nuru iliyo teremshwa pamoja naye - hao ndio wenye kufanikiwa.

Those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered prophet, whom they find written in what they have of the Torah and the Gospel, who enjoins upon them what is right and forbids them what is wrong and makes lawful for them the good things and prohibits for them the evil and relieves them of their burden and the shackles which were upon them. So they who have believed in him, honored him, supported him and followed the light which was sent down with him - it is those who will be the successful.

قُلْ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ إِنِّى رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ جَمِيعًا ٱلَّذِى لَهُۥ مُلْكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۖ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يُحْىِۦ وَيُمِيتُ ۖ فَـَٔامِنُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ ٱلنَّبِىِّ ٱلْأُمِّىِّ ٱلَّذِى يُؤْمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ وَكَلِمَٰتِهِۦ وَٱتَّبِعُوهُ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ ١٥٨

Sema: Enyi watu! Hakika mimi ni Mtume kwenu nyinyi nyote, niliye tumwa na Mwenyezi Mungu Mwenye ufalme wa mbingu na ardhi. Hapana mungu ila Yeye anaye huisha na anaye fisha. Basi muaminini Mwenyezi Mungu na Mtume wake asiyejua kusoma na kuandika, ambaye anamuamini Mwenyezi Mungu na maneno yake. Na mfuateni yeye ili mpate kuongoka.

Say, [O Muhammad], "O mankind, indeed I am the Messenger of Allah to you all, [from Him] to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. There is no deity except Him; He gives life and causes death." So believe in Allah and His Messenger, the unlettered prophet, who believes in Allah and His words, and follow him that you may be guided.

وَمِن قَوْمِ مُوسَىٰٓ أُمَّةٌۭ يَهْدُونَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَبِهِۦ يَعْدِلُونَ ١٥٩

Na katika kaumu ya Musa lipo kundi linao waongoa watu kwa haki na kwa haki wanafanya uadilifu.

And among the people of Moses is a community which guides by truth and by it establishes justice.

وَقَطَّعْنَٰهُمُ ٱثْنَتَىْ عَشْرَةَ أَسْبَاطًا أُمَمًۭا ۚ وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ إِذِ ٱسْتَسْقَىٰهُ قَوْمُهُۥٓ أَنِ ٱضْرِب بِّعَصَاكَ ٱلْحَجَرَ ۖ فَٱنۢبَجَسَتْ مِنْهُ ٱثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ عَيْنًۭا ۖ قَدْ عَلِمَ كُلُّ أُنَاسٍۢ مَّشْرَبَهُمْ ۚ وَظَلَّلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْغَمَٰمَ وَأَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْمَنَّ وَٱلسَّلْوَىٰ ۖ كُلُوا۟ مِن طَيِّبَٰتِ مَا رَزَقْنَٰكُمْ ۚ وَمَا ظَلَمُونَا وَلَٰكِن كَانُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ ١٦٠

Na tuliwagawanya katika makabila kumi na mbili, mataifa mbali mbali. Na tulimfunulia Musa walipo muomba maji watu wake kumwambia: Lipige hilo jiwe kwa fimbo yako. Mara zikatibuka humo chemchem kumi na mbili, na kila watu wakajua mahali pao pa kunywea. Na tukawafunika kivuli kwa mawingu, na tukawateremshia Manna na Salwa. Tukawaambia: Kuleni vizuri hivi tulivyo kuruzukuni. Wala hawakutu- dhulumu Sisi, bali wamejidhulumu wenyewe.

And We divided them into twelve descendant tribes [as distinct] nations. And We inspired to Moses when his people implored him for water, "Strike with your staff the stone," and there gushed forth from it twelve springs. Every people knew its watering place. And We shaded them with clouds and sent down upon them manna and quails, [saying], "Eat from the good things with which We have provided you." And they wronged Us not, but they were [only] wronging themselves.

وَإِذْ قِيلَ لَهُمُ ٱسْكُنُوا۟ هَٰذِهِ ٱلْقَرْيَةَ وَكُلُوا۟ مِنْهَا حَيْثُ شِئْتُمْ وَقُولُوا۟ حِطَّةٌۭ وَٱدْخُلُوا۟ ٱلْبَابَ سُجَّدًۭا نَّغْفِرْ لَكُمْ خَطِيٓـَٰٔتِكُمْ ۚ سَنَزِيدُ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ١٦١

Na pale walipo ambiwa: Kaeni katika mji huu, na mle humo mpendapo, na semeni: Tufutie dhambi zetu. Na ingieni katika mlango wake kwa unyenyekevu, tupate kukusameheni makosa yenu. Walio wema tutawazidishia.

And [mention, O Muhammad], when it was said to them, "Dwell in this city and eat from it wherever you will and say, 'Relieve us of our burdens,' and enter the gate bowing humbly; We will [then] forgive you your sins. We will increase the doers of good [in goodness and reward]."

فَبَدَّلَ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ مِنْهُمْ قَوْلًا غَيْرَ ٱلَّذِى قِيلَ لَهُمْ فَأَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ رِجْزًۭا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَظْلِمُونَ ١٦٢

Lakini walio dhulumu miongoni mwao walibadilisha kauli, sio ile waliyo ambiwa. Basi tukawapelekea adhabu kutoka mbinguni kwa vile walivyo kuwa wakidhulumu.

But those who wronged among them changed [the words] to a statement other than that which had been said to them. So We sent upon them a punishment from the sky for the wrong that they were doing.

وَسْـَٔلْهُمْ عَنِ ٱلْقَرْيَةِ ٱلَّتِى كَانَتْ حَاضِرَةَ ٱلْبَحْرِ إِذْ يَعْدُونَ فِى ٱلسَّبْتِ إِذْ تَأْتِيهِمْ حِيتَانُهُمْ يَوْمَ سَبْتِهِمْ شُرَّعًۭا وَيَوْمَ لَا يَسْبِتُونَ ۙ لَا تَأْتِيهِمْ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نَبْلُوهُم بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَفْسُقُونَ ١٦٣

Na waulize khabari za mji ulio kuwa kando ya bahari, wakiivunja Sabato (Jumaamosi ya mapumziko). Samaki walikuwa wakiwajia juu juu siku ya mapumziko yao, na siku zisio kuwa za kupumzika hawakuwa wakiwajia. Kwa namna hiyo tuliwajaribu kwa sababu walikuwa wakifanya upotovu.

And ask them about the town that was by the sea - when they transgressed in [the matter of] the sabbath - when their fish came to them openly on their sabbath day, and the day they had no sabbath they did not come to them. Thus did We give them trial because they were defiantly disobedient.

وَإِذْ قَالَتْ أُمَّةٌۭ مِّنْهُمْ لِمَ تَعِظُونَ قَوْمًا ۙ ٱللَّهُ مُهْلِكُهُمْ أَوْ مُعَذِّبُهُمْ عَذَابًۭا شَدِيدًۭا ۖ قَالُوا۟ مَعْذِرَةً إِلَىٰ رَبِّكُمْ وَلَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ ١٦٤

Na kikundi kati yao walisema: Kwa nini mnawawaidhi watu ambao tangu hapo Mwenyezi Mungu atawateketeza au atawaadhibu adhabu kali? Wakasema: Ili uwe ni udhuru kwa Mola Mlezi wenu, na huenda nao wakamchamngu.

And when a community among them said, "Why do you advise [or warn] a people whom Allah is [about] to destroy or to punish with a severe punishment?" they [the advisors] said, "To be absolved before your Lord and perhaps they may fear Him."

فَلَمَّا نَسُوا۟ مَا ذُكِّرُوا۟ بِهِۦٓ أَنجَيْنَا ٱلَّذِينَ يَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ ٱلسُّوٓءِ وَأَخَذْنَا ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ بِعَذَابٍۭ بَـِٔيسٍۭ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَفْسُقُونَ ١٦٥

Basi walipo yasahau waliyo kumbushwa, tuliwaokoa walio kuwa wakikataza maovu, na tukawatesa walio dhulumu kwa adhabu mbaya kwa vile walivyo kuwa wakifanya upotovu.

And when they forgot that by which they had been reminded, We saved those who had forbidden evil and seized those who wronged, with a wretched punishment, because they were defiantly disobeying.

فَلَمَّا عَتَوْا۟ عَن مَّا نُهُوا۟ عَنْهُ قُلْنَا لَهُمْ كُونُوا۟ قِرَدَةً خَٰسِـِٔينَ ١٦٦

Walipo jifakharisha katika waliyo kanywa tuliwaambia: Kuweni manyani wa kudharauliwa.

So when they were insolent about that which they had been forbidden, We said to them, "Be apes, despised."

وَإِذْ تَأَذَّنَ رَبُّكَ لَيَبْعَثَنَّ عَلَيْهِمْ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ مَن يَسُومُهُمْ سُوٓءَ ٱلْعَذَابِ ۗ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَسَرِيعُ ٱلْعِقَابِ ۖ وَإِنَّهُۥ لَغَفُورٌۭ رَّحِيمٌۭ ١٦٧

Na pale alipo tangaza Mola wako Mlezi kwamba hapana shaka atawaletea watu ambao watawaadhibu kwa adhabu mbaya mpaka Siku ya Kiyama. Hakika Mola wako Mlezi ni Mwepesi wa kuadhibu, na bila ya shaka ni Mwenye maghfira, na Mwenye kurehemu.

And [mention] when your Lord declared that He would surely [continue to] send upon them until the Day of Resurrection those who would afflict them with the worst torment. Indeed, your Lord is swift in penalty; but indeed, He is Forgiving and Merciful.

وَقَطَّعْنَٰهُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ أُمَمًۭا ۖ مِّنْهُمُ ٱلصَّٰلِحُونَ وَمِنْهُمْ دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ ۖ وَبَلَوْنَٰهُم بِٱلْحَسَنَٰتِ وَٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ ١٦٨

Na tuliwafarikisha katika ardhi makundi makundi. Wako kati yao walio wema, na wengine kinyume cha hivyo. Na tukawajaribu kwa mema na mabaya ili wapate kurejea.

And We divided them throughout the earth into nations. Of them some were righteous, and of them some were otherwise. And We tested them with good [times] and bad that perhaps they would return [to obedience].

فَخَلَفَ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِمْ خَلْفٌۭ وَرِثُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ يَأْخُذُونَ عَرَضَ هَٰذَا ٱلْأَدْنَىٰ وَيَقُولُونَ سَيُغْفَرُ لَنَا وَإِن يَأْتِهِمْ عَرَضٌۭ مِّثْلُهُۥ يَأْخُذُوهُ ۚ أَلَمْ يُؤْخَذْ عَلَيْهِم مِّيثَٰقُ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ أَن لَّا يَقُولُوا۟ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ إِلَّا ٱلْحَقَّ وَدَرَسُوا۟ مَا فِيهِ ۗ وَٱلدَّارُ ٱلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌۭ لِّلَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَ ۗ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ ١٦٩

Na wakafuatia baada yao kizazi kibaya walio rithi Kitabu. Wakashika anasa za haya maisha duni, na wakasema: Tutasamehewa! Na ikiwajia tena anasa kama hiyo wataishika pia. Je, hawakufanyiwa agano la Kitabu kuwa wasiseme juu ya Mwenyezi Mungu ila Haki tu? Nao wamekwisha soma yaliomo humo. Na nyumba ya Akhera ni bora kwa wanao jikinga na maasi. Basi je, hamtii akilini?

And there followed them successors who inherited the Scripture [while] taking the commodities of this lower life and saying, "It will be forgiven for us." And if an offer like it comes to them, they will [again] take it. Was not the covenant of the Scripture taken from them that they would not say about Allah except the truth, and they studied what was in it? And the home of the Hereafter is better for those who fear Allah, so will you not use reason?

وَٱلَّذِينَ يُمَسِّكُونَ بِٱلْكِتَٰبِ وَأَقَامُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ إِنَّا لَا نُضِيعُ أَجْرَ ٱلْمُصْلِحِينَ ١٧٠

Na wale wanao kishikilia Kitabu, na wakashika Sala - hakika Sisi hatupotezi ujira wa watendao mema.

But those who hold fast to the Book and establish prayer - indeed, We will not allow to be lost the reward of the reformers.

۞ وَإِذْ نَتَقْنَا ٱلْجَبَلَ فَوْقَهُمْ كَأَنَّهُۥ ظُلَّةٌۭ وَظَنُّوٓا۟ أَنَّهُۥ وَاقِعٌۢ بِهِمْ خُذُوا۟ مَآ ءَاتَيْنَٰكُم بِقُوَّةٍۢ وَٱذْكُرُوا۟ مَا فِيهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ ١٧١

Na pale tulipo unyanyua mlima juu yao ukawa kama kwamba ni kiwingu kilicho wafunika, na wakadhani kuwa utawaangukia, (tukawaambia): Kamateni kwa nguvu tuliyo kupeni, na yakumbukeni yaliyomo ndani yake ili mpate kumcha Mungu.

And [mention] when We raised the mountain above them as if it was a dark cloud and they were certain that it would fall upon them, [and Allah said], "Take what We have given you with determination and remember what is in it that you might fear Allah."

وَإِذْ أَخَذَ رَبُّكَ مِنۢ بَنِىٓ ءَادَمَ مِن ظُهُورِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ وَأَشْهَدَهُمْ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِهِمْ أَلَسْتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ ۖ قَالُوا۟ بَلَىٰ ۛ شَهِدْنَآ ۛ أَن تَقُولُوا۟ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ إِنَّا كُنَّا عَنْ هَٰذَا غَٰفِلِينَ ١٧٢

Na pale Mola wako Mlezi alipo waleta katika wanaadamu kutoka migongoni mwao kizazi chao, na akawashuhudisha juu ya nafsi zao, akawaambia: Je, Mimi si Mola Mlezi wenu? Wakasema: Kwani! Tumeshuhudia. Msije mkasema Siku ya Kiyama sisi tulikuwa tumeghafilika na hayo.

And [mention] when your Lord took from the children of Adam - from their loins - their descendants and made them testify of themselves, [saying to them], "Am I not your Lord?" They said, "Yes, we have testified." [This] - lest you should say on the day of Resurrection, "Indeed, we were of this unaware."

أَوْ تَقُولُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَآ أَشْرَكَ ءَابَآؤُنَا مِن قَبْلُ وَكُنَّا ذُرِّيَّةًۭ مِّنۢ بَعْدِهِمْ ۖ أَفَتُهْلِكُنَا بِمَا فَعَلَ ٱلْمُبْطِلُونَ ١٧٣

Au mkasema: Hakika baba zetu ndio walio shirikisha kabla yetu, na sisi ni dhuriya zao tu baada yao. Basi utatuangamiza kwa sababu ya waliyo yafanya wapotovu?

Or [lest] you say, "It was only that our fathers associated [others in worship] with Allah before, and we were but descendants after them. Then would You destroy us for what the falsifiers have done?"

وَكَذَٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ ٱلْءَايَٰتِ وَلَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ ١٧٤

Ndio kama hivyo tunavyo zipambanua Ishara, kwa kutaraji kuwa watarejea.

And thus do We [explain in] detail the verses, and perhaps they will return.

وَٱتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ ٱلَّذِىٓ ءَاتَيْنَٰهُ ءَايَٰتِنَا فَٱنسَلَخَ مِنْهَا فَأَتْبَعَهُ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنُ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلْغَاوِينَ ١٧٥

Na wasomee khabari za yule ambaye tulimpa Ishara zetu, naye akajivua nazo. Na Shet'ani akamuandama, akawa miongoni walio potea.

And recite to them, [O Muhammad], the news of him to whom we gave [knowledge of] Our signs, but he detached himself from them; so Satan pursued him, and he became of the deviators.

وَلَوْ شِئْنَا لَرَفَعْنَٰهُ بِهَا وَلَٰكِنَّهُۥٓ أَخْلَدَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱتَّبَعَ هَوَىٰهُ ۚ فَمَثَلُهُۥ كَمَثَلِ ٱلْكَلْبِ إِن تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْهِ يَلْهَثْ أَوْ تَتْرُكْهُ يَلْهَث ۚ ذَّٰلِكَ مَثَلُ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا ۚ فَٱقْصُصِ ٱلْقَصَصَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ ١٧٦

Na tungelitaka tungeli mtukuza kwa hizo Ishara, lakini yeye aliushikilia ulimwengu na akafuata pumbao lake. Basi mfano wake ni mfano wa mbwa. Ukimhujumu hupumua na kutoa ulimi na ukimwacha pia hupumua na kutoa ulimi. Huo ni mfano wa kaumu wanao zikanusha Ishara zetu. Basi simulia hadithi, huenda wakatafakari.

And if We had willed, we could have elevated him thereby, but he adhered [instead] to the earth and followed his own desire. So his example is like that of the dog: if you chase him, he pants, or if you leave him, he [still] pants. That is the example of the people who denied Our signs. So relate the stories that perhaps they will give thought.

سَآءَ مَثَلًا ٱلْقَوْمُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا وَأَنفُسَهُمْ كَانُوا۟ يَظْلِمُونَ ١٧٧

Huu ni mfano muovu kabisa wa watu wanao kanusha Ishara zetu na wakajidhulumu nafsi zao.

How evil an example [is that of] the people who denied Our signs and used to wrong themselves.

مَن يَهْدِ ٱللَّهُ فَهُوَ ٱلْمُهْتَدِى ۖ وَمَن يُضْلِلْ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْخَٰسِرُونَ ١٧٨

Yule ambaye Mwenyezi Mungu amemhidi basi huyo amehidika; na alio waacha kupotea basi hao ndio walio khasirika.

Whoever Allah guides - he is the [rightly] guided; and whoever He sends astray - it is those who are the losers.

وَلَقَدْ ذَرَأْنَا لِجَهَنَّمَ كَثِيرًۭا مِّنَ ٱلْجِنِّ وَٱلْإِنسِ ۖ لَهُمْ قُلُوبٌۭ لَّا يَفْقَهُونَ بِهَا وَلَهُمْ أَعْيُنٌۭ لَّا يُبْصِرُونَ بِهَا وَلَهُمْ ءَاذَانٌۭ لَّا يَسْمَعُونَ بِهَآ ۚ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ كَٱلْأَنْعَٰمِ بَلْ هُمْ أَضَلُّ ۚ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْغَٰفِلُونَ ١٧٩

Na tumeiumbia Jahannamu majini wengi na watu. Wana nyoyo, lakini hawafahamu kwazo. Na wana macho, lakini hawaoni kwayo. Na wana masikio, lakini hawasikii kwayo. Hao ni kama nyama howa, bali wao ni wapotofu zaidi. Hao ndio walio ghafilika.

And We have certainly created for Hell many of the jinn and mankind. They have hearts with which they do not understand, they have eyes with which they do not see, and they have ears with which they do not hear. Those are like livestock; rather, they are more astray. It is they who are the heedless.

وَلِلَّهِ ٱلْأَسْمَآءُ ٱلْحُسْنَىٰ فَٱدْعُوهُ بِهَا ۖ وَذَرُوا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ يُلْحِدُونَ فِىٓ أَسْمَٰٓئِهِۦ ۚ سَيُجْزَوْنَ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ ١٨٠

Na Mwenyezi Mungu ana majina mazuri kabisa, basi muombeni kwa hayo. Na waacheni wale wanao haribu utakatifu wa majina yake. Hao watakuja lipwa waliyo kuwa wakiyatenda.

And to Allah belong the best names, so invoke Him by them. And leave [the company of] those who practice deviation concerning His names. They will be recompensed for what they have been doing.

وَمِمَّنْ خَلَقْنَآ أُمَّةٌۭ يَهْدُونَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَبِهِۦ يَعْدِلُونَ ١٨١

Na katika tulio waumba wako watu wanao ongoza kwa Haki, na kwayo wanafanya uadilifu.

And among those We created is a community which guides by truth and thereby establishes justice.

وَٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا سَنَسْتَدْرِجُهُم مِّنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ١٨٢

Na wale walio kadhibisha Ishara zetu, tutawapururia pole pole kwa namna ambayo wenyewe hawaijui.

But those who deny Our signs - We will progressively lead them [to destruction] from where they do not know.

وَأُمْلِى لَهُمْ ۚ إِنَّ كَيْدِى مَتِينٌ ١٨٣

Nami nitawapa muda. Hakika mpango wangu ni madhubuti.

And I will give them time. Indeed, my plan is firm.

أَوَلَمْ يَتَفَكَّرُوا۟ ۗ مَا بِصَاحِبِهِم مِّن جِنَّةٍ ۚ إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا نَذِيرٌۭ مُّبِينٌ ١٨٤

Je, hawafikiri? Huyu mwenzao hana wazimu. Hakuwa yeye ila ni mwonyaji aliye dhaahiri.

Then do they not give thought? There is in their companion [Muhammad] no madness. He is not but a clear warner.

أَوَلَمْ يَنظُرُوا۟ فِى مَلَكُوتِ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ مِن شَىْءٍۢ وَأَنْ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَكُونَ قَدِ ٱقْتَرَبَ أَجَلُهُمْ ۖ فَبِأَىِّ حَدِيثٍۭ بَعْدَهُۥ يُؤْمِنُونَ ١٨٥

Je, hawatazami ufalme wa mbingu na ardhi, na vitu alivyo viumba Mwenyezi Mungu, na pengine ajali yao imekwisha karibia? Basi maneno gani baada ya haya watayaamini?

Do they not look into the realm of the heavens and the earth and everything that Allah has created and [think] that perhaps their appointed time has come near? So in what statement hereafter will they believe?

مَن يُضْلِلِ ٱللَّهُ فَلَا هَادِىَ لَهُۥ ۚ وَيَذَرُهُمْ فِى طُغْيَٰنِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ ١٨٦

Aliye mwacha Mwenyezi Mungu kupotea hana wa kumwongoa. Atawaacha hao wakitangatanga katika upotofu wao.

Whoever Allah sends astray - there is no guide for him. And He leaves them in their transgression, wandering blindly.

يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَىٰهَا ۖ قُلْ إِنَّمَا عِلْمُهَا عِندَ رَبِّى ۖ لَا يُجَلِّيهَا لِوَقْتِهَآ إِلَّا هُوَ ۚ ثَقُلَتْ فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ لَا تَأْتِيكُمْ إِلَّا بَغْتَةًۭ ۗ يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ كَأَنَّكَ حَفِىٌّ عَنْهَا ۖ قُلْ إِنَّمَا عِلْمُهَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ١٨٧

Wanakuuliza hiyo Saa (ya mwisho) itakuwa lini? Sema: Kuijua kwake kuko kwa Mola Mlezi wangu. Haidhihirishi hiyo kwa wakati wake ila Yeye. Ni nzito katika mbingu na ardhi. Haikujiini ila kwa ghafla tu. Wanakuuliza kama kwamba wewe una pupa ya kuijua. Sema: Ujuzi wake uko kwa Mwenyezi Mungu. Lakini aghlabu ya watu hawajui.

They ask you, [O Muhammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival? Say, "Its knowledge is only with my Lord. None will reveal its time except Him. It lays heavily upon the heavens and the earth. It will not come upon you except unexpectedly." They ask you as if you are familiar with it. Say, "Its knowledge is only with Allah, but most of the people do not know."

قُل لَّآ أَمْلِكُ لِنَفْسِى نَفْعًۭا وَلَا ضَرًّا إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ وَلَوْ كُنتُ أَعْلَمُ ٱلْغَيْبَ لَٱسْتَكْثَرْتُ مِنَ ٱلْخَيْرِ وَمَا مَسَّنِىَ ٱلسُّوٓءُ ۚ إِنْ أَنَا۠ إِلَّا نَذِيرٌۭ وَبَشِيرٌۭ لِّقَوْمٍۢ يُؤْمِنُونَ ١٨٨

Sema: Siimilikii nafsi yangu manufaa wala madhara, ila apendavyo Mwenyezi Mungu. Na lau kuwa ninayajua ya ghaibu ninge jizidishia mema mengi, wala ovu lisinge nigusa. Mimi si chochote ila ni mwonyaji na mbashiri kwa watu wanao amini.

Say, "I hold not for myself [the power of] benefit or harm, except what Allah has willed. And if I knew the unseen, I could have acquired much wealth, and no harm would have touched me. I am not except a warner and a bringer of good tidings to a people who believe."

۞ هُوَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكُم مِّن نَّفْسٍۢ وَٰحِدَةٍۢ وَجَعَلَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا لِيَسْكُنَ إِلَيْهَا ۖ فَلَمَّا تَغَشَّىٰهَا حَمَلَتْ حَمْلًا خَفِيفًۭا فَمَرَّتْ بِهِۦ ۖ فَلَمَّآ أَثْقَلَت دَّعَوَا ٱللَّهَ رَبَّهُمَا لَئِنْ ءَاتَيْتَنَا صَٰلِحًۭا لَّنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلشَّٰكِرِينَ ١٨٩

Yeye ndiye aliye kuumbeni katika nafsi moja; na katika hiyo hiyo akamfanya mwenzi wake, ili akae naye kwa utulivu. Na anapo muingilia hubeba mzigo mwepesi, akitembea nao. Anapo kuwa mja mzito, wote wawili humwomba Mwenyezi Mungu, Mola Mlezi wao: Kama ukitupa mwana mwema tutakuwa katika wanao shukuru.

It is He who created you from one soul and created from it its mate that he might dwell in security with her. And when he covers her, she carries a light burden and continues therein. And when it becomes heavy, they both invoke Allah, their Lord, "If You should give us a good [child], we will surely be among the grateful."

فَلَمَّآ ءَاتَىٰهُمَا صَٰلِحًۭا جَعَلَا لَهُۥ شُرَكَآءَ فِيمَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمَا ۚ فَتَعَٰلَى ٱللَّهُ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ ١٩٠

Basi anapo wapa mwana mwema, wanamfanyia washirikina Mwenyezi Mungu katika kile kile alicho wapa. Mwenyezi Mungu ametukuka na huko kushirikisha kwao.

But when He gives them a good [child], they ascribe partners to Him concerning that which He has given them. Exalted is Allah above what they associate with Him.

أَيُشْرِكُونَ مَا لَا يَخْلُقُ شَيْـًۭٔا وَهُمْ يُخْلَقُونَ ١٩١

Ati wanawafanya viumbe kuwa ni washirika wa Mwenyezi Mungu, nao hawaumbi, bali wao ndio wanaumbwa?

Do they associate with Him those who create nothing and they are [themselves] created?

وَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ لَهُمْ نَصْرًۭا وَلَآ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَنصُرُونَ ١٩٢

Wala hawana uwezo wa kuwanusuru wala wenyewe hawajinusuru.

And the false deities are unable to [give] them help, nor can they help themselves.

وَإِن تَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْهُدَىٰ لَا يَتَّبِعُوكُمْ ۚ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيْكُمْ أَدَعَوْتُمُوهُمْ أَمْ أَنتُمْ صَٰمِتُونَ ١٩٣

Na mkiwaita kwenye uwongofu, hawakufuateni. Ni mamoja kwenu ikiwa mtawaita au mkinyamaza.

And if you [believers] invite them to guidance, they will not follow you. It is all the same for you whether you invite them or you are silent.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ عِبَادٌ أَمْثَالُكُمْ ۖ فَٱدْعُوهُمْ فَلْيَسْتَجِيبُوا۟ لَكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ ١٩٤

Hakika hao mnao waomba asiye kuwa Mwenyezi Mungu ni waja mfano wenu nyinyi. Hebu waombeni, nao wakuitikieni, kama mnasema kweli.

Indeed, those you [polytheists] call upon besides Allah are servants like you. So call upon them and let them respond to you, if you should be truthful.

أَلَهُمْ أَرْجُلٌۭ يَمْشُونَ بِهَآ ۖ أَمْ لَهُمْ أَيْدٍۢ يَبْطِشُونَ بِهَآ ۖ أَمْ لَهُمْ أَعْيُنٌۭ يُبْصِرُونَ بِهَآ ۖ أَمْ لَهُمْ ءَاذَانٌۭ يَسْمَعُونَ بِهَا ۗ قُلِ ٱدْعُوا۟ شُرَكَآءَكُمْ ثُمَّ كِيدُونِ فَلَا تُنظِرُونِ ١٩٥

Je, wao wanayo miguu ya kwendea? Au wanayo mikono ya kutetea? Au wanayo macho ya kuonea? Au wanayo masikio ya kusikizia? Sema: Iiteni hio miungu yenu ya ushirikina. Kisha nifanyieni mimi vitimbi, wala msinipe muhula.

Do they have feet by which they walk? Or do they have hands by which they strike? Or do they have eyes by which they see? Or do they have ears by which they hear? Say, [O Muhammad], "Call your 'partners' and then conspire against me and give me no respite.

إِنَّ وَلِۦِّىَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى نَزَّلَ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ ۖ وَهُوَ يَتَوَلَّى ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ ١٩٦

Hakika Mlinzi wangu ni Mwenyezi Mungu aliye teremsha Kitabu. Naye ndiye awalindae walio wema.

Indeed, my protector is Allah, who has sent down the Book; and He is an ally to the righteous.

وَٱلَّذِينَ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِۦ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ نَصْرَكُمْ وَلَآ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَنصُرُونَ ١٩٧

Na hao mnao waomba asiye kuwa Mwenyezi hawawezi kukunusuruni, wala hawajinusuru wenyewe.

And those you call upon besides Him are unable to help you, nor can they help themselves."

وَإِن تَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْهُدَىٰ لَا يَسْمَعُوا۟ ۖ وَتَرَىٰهُمْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَيْكَ وَهُمْ لَا يُبْصِرُونَ ١٩٨

Na mkiwaita kwenye uwongofu hawasikii. Na unawaona wanakutazama, nao hawaoni.

And if you invite them to guidance, they do not hear; and you see them looking at you while they do not see.

خُذِ ٱلْعَفْوَ وَأْمُرْ بِٱلْعُرْفِ وَأَعْرِضْ عَنِ ٱلْجَٰهِلِينَ ١٩٩

Shikamana na kusamehe, na amrisha mema, na jitenge na majaahili.

Take what is given freely, enjoin what is good, and turn away from the ignorant.

وَإِمَّا يَنزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنِ نَزْغٌۭ فَٱسْتَعِذْ بِٱللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ ٢٠٠

Na uchochezi wa Shet'ani ukikuchochea basi omba ulinzi wa Mwenyezi Mungu. Hakika Yeye ni Msikizi, Mjuzi.

And if an evil suggestion comes to you from Satan, then seek refuge in Allah. Indeed, He is Hearing and Knowing.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَوْا۟ إِذَا مَسَّهُمْ طَٰٓئِفٌۭ مِّنَ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنِ تَذَكَّرُوا۟ فَإِذَا هُم مُّبْصِرُونَ ٢٠١

Hakika wale wamchao Mungu, zinapo wagusa pepesi za Shet'ani, mara huzindukana na hapo huwa wenye kuiona haki.

Indeed, those who fear Allah - when an impulse touches them from Satan, they remember [Him] and at once they have insight.

وَإِخْوَٰنُهُمْ يَمُدُّونَهُمْ فِى ٱلْغَىِّ ثُمَّ لَا يُقْصِرُونَ ٢٠٢

Na ndugu zao wanawavutia kwenye upotofu, kisha wao hawaachi.

But their brothers - the devils increase them in error; then they do not stop short.

وَإِذَا لَمْ تَأْتِهِم بِـَٔايَةٍۢ قَالُوا۟ لَوْلَا ٱجْتَبَيْتَهَا ۚ قُلْ إِنَّمَآ أَتَّبِعُ مَا يُوحَىٰٓ إِلَىَّ مِن رَّبِّى ۚ هَٰذَا بَصَآئِرُ مِن رَّبِّكُمْ وَهُدًۭى وَرَحْمَةٌۭ لِّقَوْمٍۢ يُؤْمِنُونَ ٢٠٣

Na usipo waletea Ishara waitakayo husema: Kwa nini hukuibuni? Sema: mimi ninafuata yanayo funuliwa kwangu kutokana na Mola Mlezi wangu. Hii (Qur'ani) ni hoja zinazo toka kwa Mola wenu Mlezi, na uwongofu na rehema kwa watu wanao amini.

And when you, [O Muhammad], do not bring them a sign, they say, "Why have you not contrived it?" Say, "I only follow what is revealed to me from my Lord. This [Qur'an] is enlightenment from your Lord and guidance and mercy for a people who believe."

وَإِذَا قُرِئَ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ فَٱسْتَمِعُوا۟ لَهُۥ وَأَنصِتُوا۟ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ ٢٠٤

Na isomwapo Qur'ani isikilizeni na mnyamaze ili mpate kurehemewa.

So when the Qur'an is recited, then listen to it and pay attention that you may receive mercy.

وَٱذْكُر رَّبَّكَ فِى نَفْسِكَ تَضَرُّعًۭا وَخِيفَةًۭ وَدُونَ ٱلْجَهْرِ مِنَ ٱلْقَوْلِ بِٱلْغُدُوِّ وَٱلْءَاصَالِ وَلَا تَكُن مِّنَ ٱلْغَٰفِلِينَ ٢٠٥

Na mkumbuke Mola Mlezi wako nafsini kwako kwa unyenyekevu na khofu, na bila ya kupiga kelele kwa kauli, asubuhi na jioni. Wala usiwe miongoni wa walio ghafilika.

And remember your Lord within yourself in humility and in fear without being apparent in speech - in the mornings and the evenings. And do not be among the heedless.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ عِندَ رَبِّكَ لَا يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِهِۦ وَيُسَبِّحُونَهُۥ وَلَهُۥ يَسْجُدُونَ ۩ ٢٠٦

Hakika wale walioko kwa Mola wako Mlezi hawajivuni wakaacha kumuabdu, na wanamtakasa na wanamsujudia.

Indeed, those who are near your Lord are not prevented by arrogance from His worship, and they exalt Him, and to Him they prostrate.
