فَرَاغَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضَرْبًۢا بِالْيَمِينِ[93]

Faragha AAalayhim darban bialyameeni

Puis il se mit furtivement à les frapper de sa main droite.

Then did he turn upon them, striking (them) with the right hand.

Faaqbaloo ilayhi yaziffoona

Alors [les gens] vinrent à lui en courant.

Then came (the worshippers) with hurried steps, and faced (him).

قَالَ أَتَعْبُدُونَ مَا تَنْحِتُونَ[95]

Qala ataAAbudoona ma tanhitoona

Il [leur] dit: «Adorez-vous ce que vous-mêmes sculptez,

He said: "Worship ye that which ye have (yourselves) carved?

وَاللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ وَمَا تَعْمَلُونَ[96]

WaAllahu khalaqakum wama taAAmaloona

alors que c'est Allah qui vous a créés, vous et ce que vous fabriquez?»

"But Allah has created you and your handwork!"

Faaradoo bihi kaydan fajaAAalnahumu alasfaleena

Ils voulurent lui jouer un mauvais tour; mais ce sont eux que Nous mîmes à bas.

(This failing), they then sought a stratagem against him, but We made them the ones most humiliated!

Rabbi hab lee mina al ssaliheena

Seigneur, fais-moi don d'une [progéniture] d'entre les vertueux».

"O my Lord! Grant me a righteous (son)!"

Fabashsharnahu bighulamin haleemin

Nous lui fîmes donc la bonne annonce d'un garçon (Ismaël) longanime.

So We gave him the good news of a boy ready to suffer and forbear.

فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ السَّعْىَ قَالَ يَٰبُنَىَّ إِنِّىٓ أَرَىٰ فِى الْمَنَامِ أَنِّىٓ أَذْبَحُكَ فَانظُرْ مَاذَا تَرَىٰ ۚ قَالَ يَٰٓأَبَتِ افْعَلْ مَا تُؤْمَرُ ۖ سَتَجِدُنِىٓ إِن شَآءَ اللَّهُ مِنَ الصَّٰبِرِينَ[102]

Falamma balagha maAAahu alssaAAya qala ya bunayya innee ara fee almanami annee athbahuka faonthur matha tara qala ya abati ifAAal ma tumaru satajidunee in shaa Allahu mina al ssabireena

Puis quand celui-ci fut en âge de l'accompagner, [Abraham] dit: «O mon fils, je me vois en songe en train de t'immoler. Vois donc ce que tu en penses». (Ismaël) dit: «O mon cher père, fais ce qui t'es commandé: tu me trouveras, s'il plaît à Allah, du nombre des endurants».

Then, when (the son) reached (the age of) (serious) work with him, he said: "O my son! I see in vision that I offer thee in sacrifice: Now see what is thy view!" (The son) said: "O my father! Do as thou art commanded: thou will find me, if Allah so wills one practising Patience and Constancy!"

فَلَمَّآ أَسْلَمَا وَتَلَّهُۥ لِلْجَبِينِ[103]

Falamma aslama watallahu liljabeeni

Puis quand tous deux se furent soumis (à l'ordre d'Allah) et qu'il l'eut jeté sur le front,

So when they had both submitted their wills (to Allah), and he had laid him prostrate on his forehead (for sacrifice),

وَنَٰدَيْنَٰهُ أَن يَٰٓإِبْرَٰهِيمُ[104]

Wanadaynahu an ya ibraheemu

voilà que Nous l'appelâmes «Abraham!

We called out to him "O Abraham!

Qad saddaqta alrruya inna kathalika najzee almuhsineena

Tu as confirmé la vision. C'est ainsi que Nous récompensons les bienfaisants».

"Thou hast already fulfilled the vision!" - thus indeed do We reward those who do right.

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ الْبَلَٰٓؤُا۟ الْمُبِينُ[106]

Inna hatha lahuwa albalao almubeenu

C'était là certes, l'épreuve manifeste.

For this was obviously a trial-

وَفَدَيْنَٰهُ بِذِبْحٍ عَظِيمٍ[107]

Wafadaynahu bithibhin AAatheemin

Et Nous le rançonnâmes d'une immolation généreuse.

And We ransomed him with a momentous sacrifice:

Watarakna AAalayhi fee alakhireena

Et Nous perpétuâmes son renom dans la postérité:

And We left (this blessing) for him among generations (to come) in later times:

Nous lui fîmes la bonne annonce d'Isaac comme prophète d'entre les gens vertueux.

And We gave him the good news of Isaac - a prophet,- one of the Righteous.

وَبَٰرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَىٰٓ إِسْحَٰقَ ۚ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحْسِنٌ وَظَالِمٌ لِّنَفْسِهِۦ مُبِينٌ[113]

Wabarakna AAalayhi waAAala ishaqa wamin thurriyyatihima muhsinun wath alimun linafsihi mubeenun

Et Nous le bénîmes ainsi que Isaac. Parmi leurs descendances il y a [l'homme] de bien et celui qui est manifestement injuste envers lui-même.

We blessed him and Isaac: but of their progeny are (some) that do right, and (some) that obviously do wrong, to their own souls.
