سورة 19
۞
Maryam
-
In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent. Kâf. Hâ. Yâ. ʿAyn. Sâd.i 1
بسم ٱلله ٱلرحمن ٱلرحيم 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 زكريآ إذ نادى ربه ندآء 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 إني وهن ٱلعظم مني وٱشتعل ٱلرأس شيبا ولم أكن بدعآئك 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
وإني خفت ٱلمولي من ورآءي وكانت ٱمرأتي عاقرا فهب لي من لدنك وليا يرثني ويرث من ءال يعقوب -
and make him, my Guardian, pleasing [to You]." 6
وٱجعله 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
يزكريآ إنا نبشرك بغلم ٱسمه 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 أنى يكون لي غلم وكانت ٱمرأتي عاقرا وقد بلغت من ٱلكبر 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 ٱجعل لي ءاية -
He said: "Your sign is that you shall not speak to the people for three complete nights."i 10
قال ءايتك ألا تكلم ٱلناس 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 ٱلمحراب فأوحى إليهم أن سبحوا بكرة وعشيا -
"O Yahya, take the Scripture with strength."i 12
ييحيى خذ ٱلكتب بقوة -
And We gave him judgment, while he was a child,i 12
وءاتينه ٱلحكم 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
وٱذكر في ٱلكتب مريم إذ ٱنتبذت من أهلها مكانا شرقيا فٱتخذت من دونهم حجابا -
So We sent to her Our Influx, who took before her the form of a well-formed human being.i 17
فأرسلنآ إليها روحنا فتمثل لها بشرا سويا -
She said: "I take refuge from you with the All-Benevolent! If you guard yourself [before Him]…" 18
قالت إني أعوذ بٱلرحمن منك إن كنت تقيا -
He said: "I am only the messenger of your Guardian, [come] to grant you a pure boy."i 19
قال إنمآ أنا رسول ربك لأهب 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 أنى يكون لي غلم ولم يمسسني بشر ولم أك 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 أمرا مقضيا -
She conceived him, then withdrew with him to a far-off place.i 22
فحملته فٱنتبذت 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
فأجآءها ٱلمخاض إلى جذع ٱلنخلة 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 تحتهآ ألا 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 إليك بجذع ٱلنخلة تسقط عليك رطبا جنيا -
So eat, drink, and let your eye find rest.i 26
فكلي وٱشربي 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
فإما ترين من ٱلبشر أحدا فقولي إني نذرت للرحمن صوما فلن أكلم ٱليوم إنسيا -
Then she came with him to her people, carrying him. 27
فأتت به قومها تحمله -
They said: "O Maryam, you have done a monstrous thing!i 27
قالوا يمريم لقد جئت شيا فريا -
O sister of Harun, your father was not a man of evil, nor your mother unchaste."i 28
يأخت هرون ما كان أبوك ٱمرأ سوء وما كانت أمك بغيا -
So she pointed to him. 29
فأشارت إليه -
They said: "How shall we speak to one who is a child in the cradle?"i 29
قالوا كيف نكلم من كان في ٱلمهد 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 إني عبد ٱلله ءاتىني ٱلكتب وجعلني نبيا وجعلني مباركا أين ما كنت وأوصني بٱلصلوة وٱلزكوة 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
وٱلسلم على يوم ولدت ويوم أموت ويوم أبعث حيا -
Such is Issa, son of Maryam —i 34
ذلك عيسى ٱبن مريم -
the word of truth, about which they are in doubt.i 34
قول ٱلحق ٱلذي فيه يمترون -
It is not for God to take a child.i 35
ما كان لله أن يتخذ من ولد -
Immaculate is He! 35
سبحنه -
When He decrees a matter, He only says to it: "Be," 35
إذا قضى أمرا فإنما يقول له كن -
and it is. 35
فيكون -
God is my Guardian and your Guardian: so obey Him. 36
وإن ٱلله ربي وربكم فٱعبدوه -
This is a straight path. 36
هذا صرط مستقيم -
But the factions diverged among themselves.i 37
فٱختلف ٱلأحزاب 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
أسمع بهم وأبصر يوم يأتوننا -
Yet the wrongdoers, today, are in manifest error. 38
لكن ٱلظلمون ٱليوم 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
وأنذرهم يوم ٱلحسرة إذ قضي ٱلأمر وهم في غفلة وهم لا يؤمنون -
It is We who will inherit the earth and all who are upon it, 40
إنا نحن نرث ٱلأرض ومن عليها -
and to Us they will be returned. 40
وإلينا 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
وٱذكر في ٱلكتب إبرهيم إنه كان صديقا نبيا إذ قال لأبيه يأبت 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
يأبت إني قد جآءني من ٱلعلم ما لم يأتك فٱتبعني أهدك صرطا سويا -
O my father, do not obey the Diverter:i 44
يأبت لا تعبد ٱلشيطن -
the Diverter is rebellious toward the All-Benevolent.i 44
إن ٱلشيطن 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
يأبت إني أخاف أن يمسك عذاب من ٱلرحمن فتكون للشيطن وليا -
[His father] said: "Do you spurn my gods, O Ibrahim?i 46
قال أراغب أنت عن ءالهتي -
If you do not desist, I will banish you! Keep away from me for a long time."i 46
يإبرهيم لئن لم تنته لأرجمنك وٱهجرني 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 سأستغفر لك ربي إنه كان بي حفيا وأعتزلكم وما تدعون من دون ٱلله وأدعوا ربي عسى ألآ أكون بدعآء ربي شقيا -
When he had withdrawn from them and from what they obeyed besides God, We granted him Ishaq and Yaacoub,i 49
فلما ٱعتزلهم وما يعبدون من دون ٱلله وهبنا له إسحق 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
وٱذكر في ٱلكتب موسى إنه 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 ٱلطور ٱلأيمن وقربنه نجيا -
And We granted him, out of Our benevolence, his brother Harun, a prophet.i 53
ووهبنا له من رحمتنآ أخاه 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
وٱذكر في ٱلكتب إسمعيل إنه كان صادق ٱلوعد وكان رسولا نبيا وكان يأمر أهله بٱلصلوة وٱلزكوة -
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
وٱذكر في ٱلكتب إدريس إنه 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
أولئك ٱلذين أنعم ٱلله عليهم من ٱلنبين من ذرية ءادم وممن حملنا مع نوح ومن ذرية إبرهيم وإسرءيل وممن هدينا وٱجتبينآ -
When the signs of the All-Benevolent were recited to them, they fell down prostrate, weeping.i 58
إذا تتلى عليهم ءايت ٱلرحمن 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 أضاعوا ٱلصلوة وٱتبعوا ٱلشهوت فسوف يلقون غيا إلا من تاب وءامن وعمل صلحا فأولئك يدخلون ٱلجنة ولا يظلمون شيا جنت عدن ٱلتي وعد ٱلرحمن عباده بٱلغيب -
His promise is surely to be fulfilled. 61
إنه كان وعده مأتيا -
They will hear in it no idle talk, 62
لا يسمعون فيها لغوا -
only: "Peace!" 62
إلا 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 ٱلجنة ٱلتي نورث من عبادنا من كان تقيا -
"We do not descend except by the command of your Guardian. 64
وما نتنزل إلا بأمر ربك -
To Him belongs what is before us, what is behind us, and what is between that. 64
له ما بين أيدينا 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 ٱلسموت وٱلأرض وما بينهما فٱعبده وٱصطبر 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 ٱلإنسن أءذا ما مت لسوف أخرج حيا -
Does man not remember that We created him before, when he was nothing? 67
أولا يذكر ٱلإنسن أنا 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 وٱلشيطين 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 أيهم أشد على ٱلرحمن عتيا -
Then it is We who know best who most deserves to burn in it.i 70
ثم لنحن أعلم بٱلذين هم أولى بها صليا -
There is none of you but will come to it: that is, for your Guardian, an irrevocable decree.i 71
وإن منكم إلا 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 ٱلذين ٱتقوا ونذر ٱلظلمين 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
وإذا تتلى عليهم ءايتنا بينت قال ٱلذين كفروا للذين ءامنوا أى ٱلفريقين خير مقاما وأحسن نديا -
How many a generation before them We have destroyed, finer in possessions and in appearance!i 74
وكم أهلكنا قبلهم من قرن هم أحسن أثثا ورءيا -
Say: "Whoever is in error, let the All-Benevolent extend for him a long respite!" 75
قل من كان في ٱلضللة فليمدد له ٱلرحمن 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 إذا رأوا ما يوعدون إما ٱلعذاب وإما ٱلساعة فسيعلمون من هو شر مكانا وأضعف جندا -
And God increases in guidance those who let themselves be guided. 76
ويزيد ٱلله ٱلذين ٱهتدوا هدى -
And the enduring, righteous deeds are, with your Guardian, better in reward and better in outcome.i 76
وٱلبقيت ٱلصلحت 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
أفرءيت ٱلذي كفر بايتنا وقال لأوتين مالا وولدا أطلع ٱلغيب أم ٱتخذ عند ٱلرحمن عهدا كلا -
We will record what he says and extend for him the punishment, at length. 79
سنكتب ما يقول ونمد له من ٱلعذاب مدا -
And We will inherit what he speaks of, and he will come to Us, alone.i 80
ونرثه ما يقول ويأتينا فردا -
They have taken, besides God, gods, that they might be a might for them. By no means!i 82
وٱتخذوا من دون ٱلله 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
ألم تر أنآ أرسلنا ٱلشيطين على ٱلكفرين تؤزهم أزا -
So do not be hasty against them: 84
فلا تعجل عليهم -
We are only counting out for them [their days], count by count. 84
إنما 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 ٱلمتقين إلى ٱلرحمن وفدا ونسوق ٱلمجرمين إلى جهنم وردا -
They will hold no intercession, except one who has taken a pact with the All-Benevolent.i 87
لا يملكون ٱلشفعة إلا من ٱتخذ عند ٱلرحمن عهدا -
And they have said: "The All-Benevolent has taken a child." 88
وقالوا ٱتخذ ٱلرحمن 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 جئتم شيا إدا تكاد ٱلسموت يتفطرن منه وتنشق ٱلأرض وتخر ٱلجبال هدا أن دعوا للرحمن ولدا -
It does not befit the All-Benevolent to take a child. 92
وما ينبغي للرحمن أن يتخذ ولدا -
There is none in the heavens and the earth but comes to the All-Benevolent as a the obedient one. 93
إن كل من في ٱلسموت وٱلأرض إلآ ءاتي ٱلرحمن عبدا -
He has enumerated them and counted them, one by one. 94
لقد أحصىهم وعدهم عدا -
And each of them will come to Him, on the Day of Appearance, alone.i 95
وكلهم ءاتيه يوم ٱلقيمة فردا -
To those who believe and do righteous deeds, the All-Benevolent will grant affection.i 96
إن ٱلذين ءامنوا وعملوا ٱلصلحت سيجعل لهم ٱلرحمن 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
فإنما يسرنه بلسانك لتبشر به ٱلمتقين 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 أهلكنا قبلهم من قرن هل تحس منهم من أحد أو تسمع لهم ركزا
