لَآ أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ ١
Ninaapa kwa Siku ya Kiyama!
I swear by the Day of Resurrection
Maana: "Kiyama"
لَآ أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ ١
Ninaapa kwa Siku ya Kiyama!
I swear by the Day of Resurrection
وَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلنَّفْسِ ٱللَّوَّامَةِ ٢
Na ninaapa kwa nafsi inayo jilaumu!
And I swear by the reproaching soul [to the certainty of resurrection].
أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ أَلَّن نَّجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُۥ ٣
Anadhani mtu kuwa Sisi hatutaikusanya mifupa yake?
Does man think that We will not assemble his bones?
بَلَىٰ قَٰدِرِينَ عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّسَوِّىَ بَنَانَهُۥ ٤
Kwani! Sisi tunaweza hata kuziweka sawa sawa ncha za vidole vyake!
Yes. [We are] Able [even] to proportion his fingertips.
بَلْ يُرِيدُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ لِيَفْجُرَ أَمَامَهُۥ ٥
Lakini mtu anataka tu kuendelea na maasi kwa siku zilioko mbele yake.
But man desires to continue in sin.
يَسْـَٔلُ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ ٦
Anauliza: Lini itakuwa hiyo Siku ya Kiyama?
He asks, "When is the Day of Resurrection?"
فَإِذَا بَرِقَ ٱلْبَصَرُ ٧
Basi jicho litapo dawaa,
So when vision is dazzled
وَخَسَفَ ٱلْقَمَرُ ٨
Na mwezi utapo patwa,
And the moon darkens
وَجُمِعَ ٱلشَّمْسُ وَٱلْقَمَرُ ٩
Na likakusanywa jua na mwezi,
And the sun and the moon are joined,
يَقُولُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَيْنَ ٱلْمَفَرُّ ١٠
Siku hiyo mtu atasema: Yako wapi makimbilio?
Man will say on that Day, "Where is the [place of] escape?"
كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ ١١
La! Hapana pa kukimbilia!
No! There is no refuge.
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْمُسْتَقَرُّ ١٢
Siku hiyo pa kutua ni kwa Mola wako Mlezi tu.
To your Lord, that Day, is the [place of] permanence.
يُنَبَّؤُا۟ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ ١٣
Siku hiyo ataambiwa aliyo yatanguliza na aliyo yaakhirisha.
Man will be informed that Day of what he sent ahead and kept back.
بَلِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِهِۦ بَصِيرَةٌۭ ١٤
Bali mtu ni hoja juu ya nafsi yake.
Rather, man, against himself, will be a witness,
وَلَوْ أَلْقَىٰ مَعَاذِيرَهُۥ ١٥
Na ingawa atatoa chungu ya udhuru.
Even if he presents his excuses.
لَا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِۦ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِۦٓ ١٦
Usiutikisie huu wahyi ulimi wako kwa kuufanyia haraka.
Move not your tongue with it, [O Muhammad], to hasten with recitation of the Qur'an.
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُۥ وَقُرْءَانَهُۥ ١٧
Hakika ni juu yetu kuukusanya na kuusomesha.
Indeed, upon Us is its collection [in your heart] and [to make possible] its recitation.
فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَٰهُ فَٱتَّبِعْ قُرْءَانَهُۥ ١٨
Tunapo usoma, basi nawe fuatiliza kusoma kwake.
So when We have recited it [through Gabriel], then follow its recitation.
ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُۥ ١٩
Kisha ni juu yetu kuubainisha.
Then upon Us is its clarification [to you].
كَلَّا بَلْ تُحِبُّونَ ٱلْعَاجِلَةَ ٢٠
Hasha! Bali nyinyi mnapenda maisha ya duniani,
No! But you love the immediate
وَتَذَرُونَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةَ ٢١
Na mnaacha maisha ya Akhera.
And leave the Hereafter.
وُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ نَّاضِرَةٌ ٢٢
Zipo nyuso siku hiyo zitao ng'ara,
[Some] faces, that Day, will be radiant,
إِلَىٰ رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٌۭ ٢٣
Zinamwangallia Mola wao Mlezi.
Looking at their Lord.
وَوُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بَاسِرَةٌۭ ٢٤
Na zipo nyuso siku hiyo zitakao kunjana.
And [some] faces, that Day, will be contorted,
تَظُنُّ أَن يُفْعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٌۭ ٢٥
Zitajua ya kuwa zitafikiwa na livunjalo uti wa mgongo.
Expecting that there will be done to them [something] backbreaking.
كَلَّآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلتَّرَاقِىَ ٢٦
La, hasha! (Roho) itakapo fikia kwenye mafupa ya koo,
No! When the soul has reached the collar bones
وَقِيلَ مَنْ ۜ رَاقٍۢ ٢٧
Na pakasemwa: Nani wa kumganga?
And it is said, "Who will cure [him]?"
وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ ٱلْفِرَاقُ ٢٨
Na mwenyewe akajua kwa hakika kuwa huko ndiko kufariki;
And the dying one is certain that it is the [time of] separation
وَٱلْتَفَّتِ ٱلسَّاقُ بِٱلسَّاقِ ٢٩
Na utapo ambatishwa muundi kwa muundi,
And the leg is wound about the leg,
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْمَسَاقُ ٣٠
Siku hiyo ndiyo kuchungwa kupelekwa kwa Mola wako Mlezi!
To your Lord, that Day, will be the procession.
فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّىٰ ٣١
Kwa sababu hakusadiki, wala hakusali.
And the disbeliever had not believed, nor had he prayed.
وَلَٰكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ٣٢
Bali alikanusha, na akageuka.
But [instead], he denied and turned away.
ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ يَتَمَطَّىٰٓ ٣٣
Kisha akenda kwa ahali zake kwa matao.
And then he went to his people, swaggering [in pride].
أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰ ٣٤
Ole wako, ole wako!
Woe to you, and woe!
ثُمَّ أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰٓ ٣٥
Kisha Ole wako, ole wako!
Then woe to you, and woe!
أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ أَن يُتْرَكَ سُدًى ٣٦
Ati anadhani binaadamu kuwa ataachwa bure?
Does man think that he will be left neglected?
أَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةًۭ مِّن مَّنِىٍّۢ يُمْنَىٰ ٣٧
Kwani hakuwa yeye tone ya manii lilio shushwa?
Had he not been a sperm from semen emitted?
ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةًۭ فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ ٣٨
Kisha akawa kidonge cha damu, tena Mwenyezi Mungu akamuumba na akamtengeneza vilivyo.
Then he was a clinging clot, and [Allah] created [his form] and proportioned [him]
فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ ٱلزَّوْجَيْنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ ٣٩
Kisha akamfanya namna mbili, mwanamume na mwanamke.
And made of him two mates, the male and the female.
أَلَيْسَ ذَٰلِكَ بِقَٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يُحْۦِىَ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ ٤٠
Je! Huyo hakuwa ni Muweza wa kufufua wafu?
Is not that [Creator] Able to give life to the dead?
