إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنفَطَرَتْ ١
Mbingu itapo chanika,
When the sky breaks apart
Maana: "Kupasuka Mbingu"
إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنفَطَرَتْ ١
Mbingu itapo chanika,
When the sky breaks apart
وَإِذَا ٱلْكَوَاكِبُ ٱنتَثَرَتْ ٢
Na nyota zitapo tawanyika,
And when the stars fall, scattering,
وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ ٣
Na bahari zitakapo pasuliwa,
And when the seas are erupted
وَإِذَا ٱلْقُبُورُ بُعْثِرَتْ ٤
Na makaburi yatapo fukuliwa,
And when the [contents of] graves are scattered,
عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌۭ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ وَأَخَّرَتْ ٥
Hapo kila nafsi itajua ilicho tanguliza, na ilicho bakisha nyuma.
A soul will [then] know what it has put forth and kept back.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ ٱلْكَرِيمِ ٦
Ewe mwanaadamu! Nini kilicho kughuri ukamwacha Mola wako Mlezi Mtukufu?
O mankind, what has deceived you concerning your Lord, the Generous,
ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّىٰكَ فَعَدَلَكَ ٧
Aliye kuumba, akakuweka sawa, akakunyoosha,
Who created you, proportioned you, and balanced you?
فِىٓ أَىِّ صُورَةٍۢ مَّا شَآءَ رَكَّبَكَ ٨
Katika sura yoyote aliyo ipenda akakujenga.
In whatever form He willed has He assembled you.
كَلَّا بَلْ تُكَذِّبُونَ بِٱلدِّينِ ٩
Sivyo hivyo! Bali nyinyi mnaikanusha Siku ya Malipo.
No! But you deny the Recompense.
وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحَٰفِظِينَ ١٠
Na hakika bila ya shaka wapo walinzi juu yenu,
And indeed, [appointed] over you are keepers,
كِرَامًۭا كَٰتِبِينَ ١١
Waandishi wenye hishima,
Noble and recording;
يَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ ١٢
Wanayajua mnayo yatenda.
They know whatever you do.
إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ لَفِى نَعِيمٍۢ ١٣
Hakika wema bila ya shaka watakuwa katika neema,
Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure,
وَإِنَّ ٱلْفُجَّارَ لَفِى جَحِيمٍۢ ١٤
Na hakika waovu bila ya shaka watakuwa Motoni;
And indeed, the wicked will be in Hellfire.
يَصْلَوْنَهَا يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ ١٥
Wataingia humo Siku ya Malipo.
They will [enter to] burn therein on the Day of Recompense,
وَمَا هُمْ عَنْهَا بِغَآئِبِينَ ١٦
Na hawatoacha kuwamo humo.
And never therefrom will they be absent.
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ ١٧
Na nini kitakacho kujuulisha Siku ya Malipo ni siku gani?
And what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?
ثُمَّ مَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ ١٨
Tena nini kitakacho kujuulisha Siku ya Malipo ni siku gani?
Then, what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?
يَوْمَ لَا تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌۭ لِّنَفْسٍۢ شَيْـًۭٔا ۖ وَٱلْأَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلَّهِ ١٩
Siku ambayo nafsi haitakuwa na madaraka yoyote juu ya nafsi; na amri yote siku hiyo ni ya Mwenyezi Mungu tu.
It is the Day when a soul will not possess for another soul [power to do] a thing; and the command, that Day, is [entirely] with Allah.
