يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْمُدَّثِّرُ ١
Ewe uliye jigubika!
O you who covers himself [with a garment],
Maana: "Aliyejitanda Nguo"
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْمُدَّثِّرُ ١
Ewe uliye jigubika!
O you who covers himself [with a garment],
قُمْ فَأَنذِرْ ٢
Simama uonye!
Arise and warn
وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرْ ٣
Na Mola wako Mlezi mtukuze!
And your Lord glorify
وَثِيَابَكَ فَطَهِّرْ ٤
Na nguo zako, zisafishe.
And your clothing purify
وَٱلرُّجْزَ فَٱهْجُرْ ٥
Na yaliyo machafu yahame!
And uncleanliness avoid
وَلَا تَمْنُن تَسْتَكْثِرُ ٦
Wala usitoe kwa kutaraji kuzidishiwa.
And do not confer favor to acquire more
وَلِرَبِّكَ فَٱصْبِرْ ٧
Na kwa ajili ya Mola wako Mlezi, subiri!
But for your Lord be patient.
فَإِذَا نُقِرَ فِى ٱلنَّاقُورِ ٨
Basi litapo pulizwa barugumu,
And when the trumpet is blown,
فَذَٰلِكَ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ يَوْمٌ عَسِيرٌ ٩
Siku hiyo, basi, itakuwa siku ngumu.
That Day will be a difficult day
عَلَى ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ غَيْرُ يَسِيرٍۢ ١٠
Kwa makafiri haitakuwa nyepesi.
For the disbelievers - not easy.
ذَرْنِى وَمَنْ خَلَقْتُ وَحِيدًۭا ١١
Niache peke yangu na niliye muumba;
Leave Me with the one I created alone
وَجَعَلْتُ لَهُۥ مَالًۭا مَّمْدُودًۭا ١٢
Na nikamjaalia awe na mali mengi,
And to whom I granted extensive wealth
وَبَنِينَ شُهُودًۭا ١٣
Na wana wanao onekana,
And children present [with him]
وَمَهَّدتُّ لَهُۥ تَمْهِيدًۭا ١٤
Na nikamtgenezea mambo vizuri kabisa.
And spread [everything] before him, easing [his life].
ثُمَّ يَطْمَعُ أَنْ أَزِيدَ ١٥
Kisha anatumai nimzidishie!
Then he desires that I should add more.
كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لِءَايَٰتِنَا عَنِيدًۭا ١٦
Hasha! Kwani hakika yeye alikuwa akizifanyia inadi Aya zetu!
No! Indeed, he has been toward Our verses obstinate.
سَأُرْهِقُهُۥ صَعُودًا ١٧
Nitamtesa kwa mateso yasio wezekana.
I will cover him with arduous torment.
إِنَّهُۥ فَكَّرَ وَقَدَّرَ ١٨
Kwani hakika yeye alifikiri na akapima.
Indeed, he thought and deliberated.
فَقُتِلَ كَيْفَ قَدَّرَ ١٩
Basi ameangamia! Vipi alivyo pima!
So may he be destroyed [for] how he deliberated.
ثُمَّ قُتِلَ كَيْفَ قَدَّرَ ٢٠
Tena ameangamia! Vipi alivyo pima!
Then may he be destroyed [for] how he deliberated.
ثُمَّ نَظَرَ ٢١
Kisha akatazama,
Then he considered [again];
ثُمَّ عَبَسَ وَبَسَرَ ٢٢
Kisha akakunja kipaji, na akanuna.
Then he frowned and scowled;
ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ وَٱسْتَكْبَرَ ٢٣
Kisha akaipa kisogo haki, na akatakabari.
Then he turned back and was arrogant
فَقَالَ إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌۭ يُؤْثَرُ ٢٤
Na akasema: Haya si chochote ila ni uchawi ulio nukuliwa.
And said, "This is not but magic imitated [from others].
إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا قَوْلُ ٱلْبَشَرِ ٢٥
Haya si chochote ila kauli ya binaadamu.
This is not but the word of a human being."
سَأُصْلِيهِ سَقَرَ ٢٦
Nitakuja mtia kwenye Moto wa Saqar.
I will drive him into Saqar.
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا سَقَرُ ٢٧
Na nini kitakujuulisha ni nini huo Moto wa Saqar?
And what can make you know what is Saqar?
لَا تُبْقِى وَلَا تَذَرُ ٢٨
Haubakishi wala hausazi.
It lets nothing remain and leaves nothing [unburned],
لَوَّاحَةٌۭ لِّلْبَشَرِ ٢٩
Unababua ngozi iwe nyeusi.
Blackening the skins.
عَلَيْهَا تِسْعَةَ عَشَرَ ٣٠
Juu yake wapo kumi na tisa.
Over it are nineteen [angels].
وَمَا جَعَلْنَآ أَصْحَٰبَ ٱلنَّارِ إِلَّا مَلَٰٓئِكَةًۭ ۙ وَمَا جَعَلْنَا عِدَّتَهُمْ إِلَّا فِتْنَةًۭ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لِيَسْتَيْقِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ وَيَزْدَادَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِيمَٰنًۭا ۙ وَلَا يَرْتَابَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ ۙ وَلِيَقُولَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِى قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌۭ وَٱلْكَٰفِرُونَ مَاذَآ أَرَادَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَٰذَا مَثَلًۭا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَمَا يَعْلَمُ جُنُودَ رَبِّكَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۚ وَمَا هِىَ إِلَّا ذِكْرَىٰ لِلْبَشَرِ ٣١
Na hatukuwafanya walinzi wa Motoni ila ni Malaika, wala hatukuifanya idadi yao hiyo ila kuwatatanisha walio kufuru, wapate kuwa na yakini walio pewa Kitabu, na wazidi Imani wale walio amini, wala wasiwe na shaka walio pewa Kitabu na Waumini, na wapate kusema wenye maradhi katika nyoyo zao na makafiri: Mwenyezi Mungu amekusudia nini kwa mfano huu? Ndio kama hivyo Mwenyezi Mungu humwacha apotee amtakaye, na humwongoa amtakaye. Na hapana yeyote anaye jua majeshi ya Mola wako Mlezi ila Yeye tu. Na haya si chochote ila ni ukumbusho kwa binaadamu.
And We have not made the keepers of the Fire except angels. And We have not made their number except as a trial for those who disbelieve - that those who were given the Scripture will be convinced and those who have believed will increase in faith and those who were given the Scripture and the believers will not doubt and that those in whose hearts is hypocrisy and the disbelievers will say, "What does Allah intend by this as an example?" Thus does Allah leave astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And none knows the soldiers of your Lord except Him. And mention of the Fire is not but a reminder to humanity.
كَلَّا وَٱلْقَمَرِ ٣٢
Hasha! Naapa kwa mwezi!
No! By the moon
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذْ أَدْبَرَ ٣٣
Na kwa usiku unapo kucha!
And [by] the night when it departs
وَٱلصُّبْحِ إِذَآ أَسْفَرَ ٣٤
Na kwa asubuhi inapo pambazuka!
And [by] the morning when it brightens,
إِنَّهَا لَإِحْدَى ٱلْكُبَرِ ٣٥
Hakika huo Moto ni katika mambo yaliyo makubwa kabisa!
Indeed, the Fire is of the greatest [afflictions]
نَذِيرًۭا لِّلْبَشَرِ ٣٦
Ni onyo kwa binaadamu,
As a warning to humanity -
لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَتَقَدَّمَ أَوْ يَتَأَخَّرَ ٣٧
Kwa anaye taka miongoni mwenu kutangulia au kuchelewa.
To whoever wills among you to proceed or stay behind.
كُلُّ نَفْسٍۭ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ رَهِينَةٌ ٣٨
Kila nafsi imo rahanini kwa mabaya iliyo yachuma.
Every soul, for what it has earned, will be retained
إِلَّآ أَصْحَٰبَ ٱلْيَمِينِ ٣٩
Isipo kuwa watu wa kuliani.
Except the companions of the right,
فِى جَنَّٰتٍۢ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ٤٠
Hao watakuwa katika Mabustani, wawe wanaulizana
[Who will be] in gardens, questioning each other
عَنِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ ٤١
Khabari za wakosefu:
About the criminals,
مَا سَلَكَكُمْ فِى سَقَرَ ٤٢
Ni nini kilicho kupelekeni Motoni?
[And asking them], "What put you into Saqar?"
قَالُوا۟ لَمْ نَكُ مِنَ ٱلْمُصَلِّينَ ٤٣
Waseme: Hatukuwa miongoni walio kuwa wakisali.
They will say, "We were not of those who prayed,
وَلَمْ نَكُ نُطْعِمُ ٱلْمِسْكِينَ ٤٤
Wala hatukuwa tukiwalisha masikini.
Nor did we used to feed the poor.
وَكُنَّا نَخُوضُ مَعَ ٱلْخَآئِضِينَ ٤٥
Na tulikuwa tukizama pamoja na walio zama katika maovu.
And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who engaged [in it],
وَكُنَّا نُكَذِّبُ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ ٤٦
Na tulikuwa tukiikanusha siku ya malipo.
And we used to deny the Day of Recompense
حَتَّىٰٓ أَتَىٰنَا ٱلْيَقِينُ ٤٧
Mpaka yakini ilipo tufikia.
Until there came to us the certainty."
فَمَا تَنفَعُهُمْ شَفَٰعَةُ ٱلشَّٰفِعِينَ ٤٨
Basi hautawafaa kitu uombezi wa waombezi.
So there will not benefit them the intercession of [any] intercessors.
فَمَا لَهُمْ عَنِ ٱلتَّذْكِرَةِ مُعْرِضِينَ ٤٩
Basi wana nini hata wanapuuza onyo hili?
Then what is [the matter] with them that they are, from the reminder, turning away
كَأَنَّهُمْ حُمُرٌۭ مُّسْتَنفِرَةٌۭ ٥٠
Kama kwamba wao ni mapunda walio timuliwa,
As if they were alarmed donkeys
فَرَّتْ مِن قَسْوَرَةٍۭ ٥١
Wanao mkimbia simba!
Fleeing from a lion?
بَلْ يُرِيدُ كُلُّ ٱمْرِئٍۢ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُؤْتَىٰ صُحُفًۭا مُّنَشَّرَةًۭ ٥٢
Ati kila mmoja katika wao anataka apewe nyaraka zilizo funuliwa.
Rather, every person among them desires that he would be given scriptures spread about.
كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا يَخَافُونَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةَ ٥٣
Hasha! Kwani wao hawaiogopi Akhera?
No! But they do not fear the Hereafter.
كَلَّآ إِنَّهُۥ تَذْكِرَةٌۭ ٥٤
Hasha! Kwa hakika huu ni ukumbusho!
No! Indeed, the Qur'an is a reminder
فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ ٥٥
Basi anaye taka atakumbuka.
Then whoever wills will remember it.
وَمَا يَذْكُرُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ هُوَ أَهْلُ ٱلتَّقْوَىٰ وَأَهْلُ ٱلْمَغْفِرَةِ ٥٦
Na hawatakumbuka isipo kuwa Mwenyezi Mungu atake. Uchamngu ni kwake Yeye, na msamaha ni wake Yeye.
And they will not remember except that Allah wills. He is worthy of fear and adequate for [granting] forgiveness.
