سورة 19
۞
Maryam
-
In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent. Kâf. Hâ. Yâ. ʿAyn. Sâd.i 1
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم كهيعص -
A remembrance of your Guardian's benevolence toward His obedient one Zakariya, when he called upon his Guardian with a secret call,i 3
ذكر رحمت ربك عبده زكريا اذ نادى ربه نداء خفيا -
he said: "My Guardian, the bone has grown weak within me, the head has blazed white, and never, in calling upon You, my Guardian, have I been left wanting. 4
قال رب اني وهن العظم مني واشتعل الراس شيبا ولم اكن بدعايك رب شقيا -
I have feared for my kin after me, and my wife is barren. So grant me, from Yourself, an heir who will inherit from me and inherit from the line of Yaacoub,i 6
واني خفت المولي من وراءي وكانت امراتي عاقرا فهب لي من لدنك وليا يرثني ويرث من ءال يعقوب -
and make him, my Guardian, pleasing [to You]." 6
واجعله رب رضيا -
"O Zakariya, We give you glad tidings of a boy: his name is Yahya, to whom We have given, before him, no one sharing this attribute."i 7
يزكريا انا نبشرك بغلم اسمه يحيى لم نجعل له من قبل سميا -
He said: "My Guardian, how shall I have a boy, when my wife is barren and I have reached, in old age, utter decrepitude?"i 8
قال رب انى يكون لي غلم وكانت امراتي عاقرا وقد بلغت من الكبر عتيا -
He said: "So it will be. Your Guardian has said: That is easy for Me, and I created you before, when you were nothing." 9
قال كذلك قال ربك هو على هين وقد خلقتك من قبل ولم تك شيا -
He said: "My Guardian, appoint for me a sign." 10
قال رب اجعل لي ءاية -
He said: "Your sign is that you shall not speak to the people for three complete nights."i 10
قال ءايتك الا تكلم الناس ثلث ليال سويا -
He came out to his people, from the oratory, and signaled to them: "Glorify [Him] at morning and evening."i 11
فخرج على قومه من المحراب فاوحى اليهم ان سبحوا بكرة وعشيا -
"O Yahya, take the Scripture with strength."i 12
ييحيى خذ الكتب بقوة -
And We gave him judgment, while he was a child,i 12
وءاتينه الحكم صبيا -
and a tenderness from Us, and a purity;i 13
وحنانا من لدنا وزكوة -
and he guarded himself.i 13
وكان تقيا -
Dutiful toward his parents, he was neither tyrannical nor rebellious.i 14
وبرا بولديه ولم يكن جبارا عصيا -
And peace be upon him the day he was born, the day he dies, and the day he is raised alive.i 15
وسلم عليه يوم ولد ويوم يموت ويوم يبعث حيا -
And mention, in the Scripture, Maryam, when she withdrew from her people to a place toward the east and took, apart from them, a screen of seclusion.i 17
واذكر في الكتب مريم اذ انتبذت من اهلها مكانا شرقيا فاتخذت من دونهم حجابا -
So We sent to her Our Influx, who took before her the form of a well-formed human being.i 17
فارسلنا اليها روحنا فتمثل لها بشرا سويا -
She said: "I take refuge from you with the All-Benevolent! If you guard yourself [before Him]…" 18
قالت اني اعوذ بالرحمن منك ان كنت تقيا -
He said: "I am only the messenger of your Guardian, [come] to grant you a pure boy."i 19
قال انما انا رسول ربك لاهب لك غلما زكيا -
She said: "How shall I have a boy, when no human has touched me and I have not been unchaste?"i 20
قالت انى يكون لي غلم ولم يمسسني بشر ولم اك بغيا -
He said: "So it will be. Your Guardian has said: That is easy for Me. 21
قال كذلك قال ربك هو على هين -
And We shall make him a sign for the people and a benevolence from Us. 21
ولنجعله ءاية للناس ورحمة منا -
It is a matter already decreed." 21
وكان امرا مقضيا -
She conceived him, then withdrew with him to a far-off place.i 22
فحملته فانتبذت به مكانا قصيا -
The pangs of childbirth drove her to the trunk of the palm tree. She said: "Would that I had died before this, and been a thing forgotten, utterly forgotten!"i 23
فاجاءها المخاض الى جذع النخلة قالت يليتني مت قبل هذا وكنت نسيا منسيا -
He called to her from below her: "Do not grieve! Your Guardian has set beneath you a couch.i 24
فنادىها من تحتها الا تحزني قد جعل ربك تحتك سريا -
And shake toward you the trunk of the palm tree: it will drop upon you fresh, ripe dates.i 25
وهزي اليك بجذع النخلة تسقط عليك رطبا جنيا -
So eat, drink, and let your eye find rest.i 26
فكلي واشربي وقري عينا -
If you see anyone among the humans, say: "I have vowed to the All-Benevolent a silence; so I shall not speak today to any human."i 26
فاما ترين من البشر احدا فقولي اني نذرت للرحمن صوما فلن اكلم اليوم انسيا -
Then she came with him to her people, carrying him. 27
فاتت به قومها تحمله -
They said: "O Maryam, you have done a monstrous thing!i 27
قالوا يمريم لقد جيت شيا فريا -
O sister of Harun, your father was not a man of evil, nor your mother unchaste."i 28
ياخت هرون ما كان ابوك امرا سوء وما كانت امك بغيا -
So she pointed to him. 29
فاشارت اليه -
They said: "How shall we speak to one who is a child in the cradle?"i 29
قالوا كيف نكلم من كان في المهد صبيا -
The child said: "I am the servant of God. He has given me the Scripture and made me a prophet; He has made me blessed wherever I may be, and enjoined upon me the Contact and the purifying alms as long as I live, and dutifulness toward my mother.i 32
قال اني عبد الله ءاتىني الكتب وجعلني نبيا وجعلني مباركا اين ما كنت واوصني بالصلوة والزكوة ما دمت حيا وبرا بولدتي -
He has not made me tyrannical or wretched. 32
ولم يجعلني جبارا شقيا -
And peace be upon me the day I was born, the day I die, and the day I am raised alive." 33
والسلم على يوم ولدت ويوم اموت ويوم ابعث حيا -
Such is Issa, son of Maryam —i 34
ذلك عيسى ابن مريم -
the word of truth, about which they are in doubt.i 34
قول الحق الذي فيه يمترون -
It is not for God to take a child.i 35
ما كان لله ان يتخذ من ولد -
Immaculate is He! 35
سبحنه -
When He decrees a matter, He only says to it: "Be," 35
اذا قضى امرا فانما يقول له كن -
and it is. 35
فيكون -
God is my Guardian and your Guardian: so obey Him. 36
وان الله ربي وربكم فاعبدوه -
This is a straight path. 36
هذا صرط مستقيم -
But the factions diverged among themselves.i 37
فاختلف الاحزاب من بينهم -
So woe to those who deny, at the appearing of an immense Day!i 37
فويل للذين كفروا من مشهد يوم عظيم -
How well they will hear and see, the Day they come to Us! 38
اسمع بهم وابصر يوم ياتوننا -
Yet the wrongdoers, today, are in manifest error. 38
لكن الظلمون اليوم في ضلل مبين -
And warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter is decided, while they are heedless and do not believe.i 39
وانذرهم يوم الحسرة اذ قضي الامر وهم في غفلة وهم لا يومنون -
It is We who will inherit the earth and all who are upon it, 40
انا نحن نرث الارض ومن عليها -
and to Us they will be returned. 40
والينا يرجعون -
And mention, in the Scripture, Ibrahim: he was a man of truth, a prophet, when he said to his father: "O my father, why do you obey what neither hears nor sees and avails you nothing?i 42
واذكر في الكتب ابرهيم انه كان صديقا نبيا اذ قال لابيه يابت لم تعبد ما لا يسمع ولا يبصر ولا يغني عنك شيا -
O my father, there has come to me of knowledge what has not come to you; so follow me, I will guide you to an even path. 43
يابت اني قد جاءني من العلم ما لم ياتك فاتبعني اهدك صرطا سويا -
O my father, do not obey the Diverter:i 44
يابت لا تعبد الشيطن -
the Diverter is rebellious toward the All-Benevolent.i 44
ان الشيطن كان للرحمن عصيا -
O my father, I fear that a punishment from the All-Benevolent will touch you, and you become an ally of the Diverter."i 45
يابت اني اخاف ان يمسك عذاب من الرحمن فتكون للشيطن وليا -
[His father] said: "Do you spurn my gods, O Ibrahim?i 46
قال اراغب انت عن ءالهتي -
If you do not desist, I will banish you! Keep away from me for a long time."i 46
يابرهيم لين لم تنته لارجمنك واهجرني مليا -
[Ibrahim] said: "Peace be upon you. I will ask my Guardian's forgiveness for you: He has ever been gracious to me. I withdraw from you and from what you invoke besides God, and I invoke my Guardian; perhaps, in invoking my Guardian, I shall not be left wanting."i 48
قال سلم عليك ساستغفر لك ربي انه كان بي حفيا واعتزلكم وما تدعون من دون الله وادعوا ربي عسى الا اكون بدعاء ربي شقيا -
When he had withdrawn from them and from what they obeyed besides God, We granted him Ishaq and Yaacoub,i 49
فلما اعتزلهم وما يعبدون من دون الله وهبنا له اسحق ويعقوب -
and each We made a prophet. 49
وكلا جعلنا نبيا -
And We granted them [a share] of Our benevolence, and gave them a lofty renown of truth.i 50
ووهبنا لهم من رحمتنا وجعلنا لهم لسان صدق عليا -
And mention, in the Scripture, Moussa: he was wholly devoted, and he was a messenger, a prophet.i 51
واذكر في الكتب موسى انه كان مخلصا وكان رسولا نبيا -
We called him from the right side of the Mount, and drew him near in confidence.i 52
وندينه من جانب الطور الايمن وقربنه نجيا -
And We granted him, out of Our benevolence, his brother Harun, a prophet.i 53
ووهبنا له من رحمتنا اخاه هرون نبيا -
And mention, in the Scripture, Ismail: he was true to his promise, and he was a messenger, a prophet. He would enjoin upon his people the Contact and the purifying alms,i 55
واذكر في الكتب اسمعيل انه كان صادق الوعد وكان رسولا نبيا وكان يامر اهله بالصلوة والزكوة -
and he was, with his Guardian, well-pleasing. 55
وكان عند ربه مرضيا -
And mention, in the Scripture, Idris: he was a man of truth, a prophet.i 56
واذكر في الكتب ادريس انه كان صديقا نبيا -
And We raised him to a lofty station. 57
ورفعنه مكانا عليا -
Those are the ones God has favored among the prophets: of the progeny of Adam, of those We carried with Nuh, of the progeny of Ibrahim and of Israel, and of those We guided and chose.i 58
اوليك الذين انعم الله عليهم من النبين من ذرية ءادم وممن حملنا مع نوح ومن ذرية ابرهيم واسرءيل وممن هدينا واجتبينا -
When the signs of the All-Benevolent were recited to them, they fell down prostrate, weeping.i 58
اذا تتلى عليهم ءايت الرحمن خروا سجدا وبكيا -
Then there succeeded them a generation who neglected the Contact and followed desires: so they will meet with error — except one who repents, believes, and acts righteously; those will enter the Garden and be wronged in nothing: the Gardens of Eden which the All-Benevolent has promised His obedient ones, in what escapes their presence.i 61
فخلف من بعدهم خلف اضاعوا الصلوة واتبعوا الشهوت فسوف يلقون غيا الا من تاب وءامن وعمل صلحا فاوليك يدخلون الجنة ولا يظلمون شيا جنت عدن التي وعد الرحمن عباده بالغيب -
His promise is surely to be fulfilled. 61
انه كان وعده ماتيا -
They will hear in it no idle talk, 62
لا يسمعون فيها لغوا -
only: "Peace!" 62
الا سلما -
And they will have their provision there, morning and evening.i 62
ولهم رزقهم فيها بكرة وعشيا -
Such is the Garden that We shall give as inheritance, among Our obedient ones, to whoever guarded himself. 63
تلك الجنة التي نورث من عبادنا من كان تقيا -
"We do not descend except by the command of your Guardian. 64
وما نتنزل الا بامر ربك -
To Him belongs what is before us, what is behind us, and what is between that. 64
له ما بين ايدينا وما خلفنا وما بين ذلك -
And your Guardian is never forgetful." 64
وما كان ربك نسيا -
The Guardian of the heavens, the earth, and what is between them: so obey Him, and be steadfast in His service.i 65
رب السموت والارض وما بينهما فاعبده واصطبر لعبدته -
Do you know anyone who shares His attribute?i 65
هل تعلم له سميا -
And man says: "When I am dead, shall I really be brought forth alive?" 66
ويقول الانسن اءذا ما مت لسوف اخرج حيا -
Does man not remember that We created him before, when he was nothing? 67
اولا يذكر الانسن انا خلقنه من قبل ولم يك شيا -
By your Guardian, We will surely gather them, along with the Diverters; then We will bring them, on their knees, around Jahannam.i 68
فوربك لنحشرنهم والشيطين ثم لنحضرنهم حول جهنم جثيا -
Then We will pluck out, from every faction, those most insolent toward the All-Benevolent.i 69
ثم لننزعن من كل شيعة ايهم اشد على الرحمن عتيا -
Then it is We who know best who most deserves to burn in it.i 70
ثم لنحن اعلم بالذين هم اولى بها صليا -
There is none of you but will come to it: that is, for your Guardian, an irrevocable decree.i 71
وان منكم الا واردها كان على ربك حتما مقضيا -
Then We will save those who guarded themselves, and leave the wrongdoers in it, on their knees. 72
ثم ننجي الذين اتقوا ونذر الظلمين فيها جثيا -
And when Our clear signs are recited to them, those who deny say to those who believe: "Which of the two parties has the better standing and the finer assembly?"i 73
واذا تتلى عليهم ءايتنا بينت قال الذين كفروا للذين ءامنوا اى الفريقين خير مقاما واحسن نديا -
How many a generation before them We have destroyed, finer in possessions and in appearance!i 74
وكم اهلكنا قبلهم من قرن هم احسن اثثا ورءيا -
Say: "Whoever is in error, let the All-Benevolent extend for him a long respite!" 75
قل من كان في الضللة فليمدد له الرحمن مدا -
until, seeing what they are promised — either the punishment or the Hour — they know who is worse in station and weaker in support.i 75
حتى اذا راوا ما يوعدون اما العذاب واما الساعة فسيعلمون من هو شر مكانا واضعف جندا -
And God increases in guidance those who let themselves be guided. 76
ويزيد الله الذين اهتدوا هدى -
And the enduring, righteous deeds are, with your Guardian, better in reward and better in outcome.i 76
والبقيت الصلحت خير عند ربك ثوابا وخير مردا -
Have you seen the one who denied Our signs and said: "I will surely be given wealth and children"? Has he pierced what escapes his presence, or taken a pact with the All-Benevolent? By no means!i 79
افرءيت الذي كفر بايتنا وقال لاوتين مالا وولدا اطلع الغيب ام اتخذ عند الرحمن عهدا كلا -
We will record what he says and extend for him the punishment, at length. 79
سنكتب ما يقول ونمد له من العذاب مدا -
And We will inherit what he speaks of, and he will come to Us, alone.i 80
ونرثه ما يقول وياتينا فردا -
They have taken, besides God, gods, that they might be a might for them. By no means!i 82
واتخذوا من دون الله ءالهة ليكونوا لهم عزا كلا -
They will deny their obey and stand against them as adversaries.i 82
سيكفرون بعبادتهم ويكونون عليهم ضدا -
Do you not see that We have loosed the Diverters upon those who deny, inciting them relentlessly?i 83
الم تر انا ارسلنا الشيطين على الكفرين توزهم ازا -
So do not be hasty against them: 84
فلا تعجل عليهم -
We are only counting out for them [their days], count by count. 84
انما نعد لهم عدا -
The Day We gather those who guarded themselves to the All-Benevolent, as a delegation, and drive the severed to Jahannam, like a herd to the watering-place.i 86
يوم نحشر المتقين الى الرحمن وفدا ونسوق المجرمين الى جهنم وردا -
They will hold no intercession, except one who has taken a pact with the All-Benevolent.i 87
لا يملكون الشفعة الا من اتخذ عند الرحمن عهدا -
And they have said: "The All-Benevolent has taken a child." 88
وقالوا اتخذ الرحمن ولدا -
You have put forth a monstrous thing! The heavens nearly rupture from it, the earth splits open, and the mountains collapse in ruin — that they have ascribed a child to the All-Benevolent.i 91
لقد جيتم شيا ادا تكاد السموت يتفطرن منه وتنشق الارض وتخر الجبال هدا ان دعوا للرحمن ولدا -
It does not befit the All-Benevolent to take a child. 92
وما ينبغي للرحمن ان يتخذ ولدا -
There is none in the heavens and the earth but comes to the All-Benevolent as a the obedient one. 93
ان كل من في السموت والارض الا ءاتي الرحمن عبدا -
He has enumerated them and counted them, one by one. 94
لقد احصىهم وعدهم عدا -
And each of them will come to Him, on the Day of Appearance, alone.i 95
وكلهم ءاتيه يوم القيمة فردا -
To those who believe and do righteous deeds, the All-Benevolent will grant affection.i 96
ان الذين ءامنوا وعملوا الصلحت سيجعل لهم الرحمن ودا -
We have made it easy on your tongue only so that you may give glad tidings by it to those who guard themselves and warn by it a contentious people.i 97
فانما يسرنه بلسانك لتبشر به المتقين وتنذر به قوما لدا -
How many a generation before them We have destroyed! Do you perceive a single one of them, or hear from them the faintest murmur?i 98
وكم اهلكنا قبلهم من قرن هل تحس منهم من احد او تسمع لهم ركزا
