تَنزِيلُ الْكِتَٰبِ مِنَ اللَّهِ الْعَزِيزِ الْعَلِيمِ[2]

Tanzeelu alkitabi mina Allahi alAAazeezi alAAaleemi

La révélation du Livre vient d'Allah, le Puissant, l'Omniscient.

The revelation of this Book is from Allah, Exalted in Power, Full of Knowledge,-

غَافِرِ الذَّنۢبِ وَقَابِلِ التَّوْبِ شَدِيدِ الْعِقَابِ ذِى الطَّوْلِ ۖ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۖ إِلَيْهِ الْمَصِيرُ[3]

Ghafiri al ththanbi waqabili alttawbi shadeedi alAAiqabi thee al ttawli la ilaha illa huwa ilayhi almaseeru

Le Pardonneur des péchés, l'Accueillant au repentir, le Dur en punition, le Détenteur des faveurs. Point de divinité à part Lui et vers Lui est la destination.

Who forgiveth sin, accepteth repentance, is strict in punishment, and hath a long reach (in all things). there is no god but He: to Him is the final goal.

مَا يُجَٰدِلُ فِىٓ ءَايَٰتِ اللَّهِ إِلَّا الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ فَلَا يَغْرُرْكَ تَقَلُّبُهُمْ فِى الْبِلَٰدِ[4]

Ma yujadilu fee ayati Allahi illa allatheena kafaroo fala yaghrurka taqallubuhum fee albiladi

Seuls ceux qui ont mécru discutent les versets d'Allah. Que leurs activités dans le pays ne te trompent pas.

None can dispute about the Signs of Allah but the Unbelievers. Let not, then, their strutting about through the land deceive thee!

كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ وَالْأَحْزَابُ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِمْ ۖ وَهَمَّتْ كُلُّ أُمَّةٍۭ بِرَسُولِهِمْ لِيَأْخُذُوهُ ۖ وَجَٰدَلُوا۟ بِالْبَٰطِلِ لِيُدْحِضُوا۟ بِهِ الْحَقَّ فَأَخَذْتُهُمْ ۖ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عِقَابِ[5]

Kaththabat qablahum qawmu noohin waalahzabu min baAAdihim wahammat kullu ommatin birasoolihim liyakhuthoohu wajadaloo bialbatili liyudhidoo bihi alhaqqa faakhathtuhum fakayfa kana AAiqabi

Avant eux, le peuple de Noé a traité (Son Messager) de menteur, et les coalisés après eux (ont fait de même), et chaque communauté a conçu le dessein de s'emparer de Son Messager. Et ils ont discuté de faux arguments pour rejeter la vérité. Alors Je les ai saisis. Et quelle punition fut la Mienne!

But (there were people) before them, who denied (the Signs),- the People of Noah, and the Confederates (of Evil) after them; and every People plotted against their prophet, to seize him, and disputed by means of vanities, therewith to condemn the Truth; but it was I that seized them! and how (terrible) was My Requital!

وَكَذَٰلِكَ حَقَّتْ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓا۟ أَنَّهُمْ أَصْحَٰبُ النَّارِ[6]

Wakathalika haqqat kalimatu rabbika AAala allatheena kafaroo annahum as habu alnnari

Ainsi s'avéra juste la Parole de ton Seigneur contre ceux qui ont mécru: «Ils seront les gens du Feu».

Thus was the Decree of thy Lord proved true against the Unbelievers; that truly they are Companions of the Fire!

الَّذِينَ يَحْمِلُونَ الْعَرْشَ وَمَنْ حَوْلَهُۥ يُسَبِّحُونَ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ وَيُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِۦ وَيَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ رَبَّنَا وَسِعْتَ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ رَّحْمَةً وَعِلْمًا فَاغْفِرْ لِلَّذِينَ تَابُوا۟ وَاتَّبَعُوا۟ سَبِيلَكَ وَقِهِمْ عَذَابَ الْجَحِيمِ[7]

Ceux (les Anges) qui portent le Trône et ceux qui l'entourent célèbrent les louanges de leur Seigneur, croient en Lui et implorent le pardon pour ceux qui croient: «Seigneur! Tu étends sur toute chose Ta miséricorde et Ta science. Pardonne donc à ceux qui se repentent et suivent Ton chemin et protège-les du châtiment de l'Enfer.

Those who sustain the Throne (of Allah) and those around it Sing Glory and Praise to their Lord; believe in Him; and implore Forgiveness for those who believe: "Our Lord! Thy Reach is over all things, in Mercy and Knowledge. Forgive, then, those who turn in Repentance, and follow Thy Path; and preserve them from the Penalty of the Blazing Fire!

رَبَّنَا وَأَدْخِلْهُمْ جَنَّٰتِ عَدْنٍ الَّتِى وَعَدتَّهُمْ وَمَن صَلَحَ مِنْ ءَابَآئِهِمْ وَأَزْوَٰجِهِمْ وَذُرِّيَّٰتِهِمْ ۚ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ[8]

Rabbana waadkhilhum jannati AAadnin allatee waAAadtahum waman salaha min abaihim waazwajihim wathurriyyatihim innaka anta alAAazeezu alhakeemu

Seigneur! Fais-les entrer aux jardins d'Eden que Tu leur as promis, ainsi qu'aux vertueux parmi leurs ancêtres, leurs épouses et leurs descendants, car c'est Toi le Puissant, le Sage.

"And grant, our Lord! that they enter the Gardens of Eternity, which Thou hast promised to them, and to the righteous among their fathers, their wives, and their posterity! For Thou art (He), the Exalted in Might, Full of Wisdom.

وَقِهِمُ السَّيِّـَٔاتِ ۚ وَمَن تَقِ السَّيِّـَٔاتِ يَوْمَئِذٍ فَقَدْ رَحِمْتَهُۥ ۚ وَذَٰلِكَ هُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ[9]

Waqihimu alssayyiati waman taqi alssayyiati yawmaithin faqad rahimtahu wathalika huwa alfawzu alAAatheemu

Et préserve-les [du châtiment] des mauvaises actions. Quiconque Tu préserves [du châtiment] des mauvaises actions ce jour-là, Tu lui feras miséricorde». Et c'est là l'énorme succès.

"And preserve them from (all) ills; and any whom Thou dost preserve from ills that Day,- on them wilt Thou have bestowed Mercy indeed: and that will be truly (for them) the highest Achievement".

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ يُنَادَوْنَ لَمَقْتُ اللَّهِ أَكْبَرُ مِن مَّقْتِكُمْ أَنفُسَكُمْ إِذْ تُدْعَوْنَ إِلَى الْإِيمَٰنِ فَتَكْفُرُونَ[10]

Inna allatheena kafaroo yunadawna lamaqtu Allahi akbaru min maqtikum anfusakum ith tudAAawna ila aleemani fatakfuroona

A ceux qui n'auront pas cru on proclamera: «l'aversion d'Allah [envers vous] est plus grande que votre aversion envers vous-mêmes, lorsque vous étiez appelés à la foi et que vous persistiez dans la mécréance».

The Unbelievers will be addressed: "Greater was the aversion of Allah to you than (is) your aversion to yourselves, seeing that ye were called to the Faith and ye used to refuse."

قَالُوا۟ رَبَّنَآ أَمَتَّنَا اثْنَتَيْنِ وَأَحْيَيْتَنَا اثْنَتَيْنِ فَاعْتَرَفْنَا بِذُنُوبِنَا فَهَلْ إِلَىٰ خُرُوجٍ مِّن سَبِيلٍ[11]

Qaloo rabbana amattana ithnatayni waahyaytana ithnatayni faiAAtarafna bithunoobina fahal ila khuroojin min sabeelin

Ils diront: «Notre Seigneur, Tu nous as fais mourir deux fois et redonné la vie deux fois: nous reconnaissons donc nos péchés. Y a-t-il un moyen d'en sortir?»

They will say: "Our Lord! twice hast Thou made us without life, and twice hast Thou given us Life! Now have we recognised our sins: Is there any way out (of this)?"

ذَٰلِكُم بِأَنَّهُۥٓ إِذَا دُعِىَ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُۥ كَفَرْتُمْ ۖ وَإِن يُشْرَكْ بِهِۦ تُؤْمِنُوا۟ ۚ فَالْحُكْمُ لِلَّهِ الْعَلِىِّ الْكَبِيرِ[12]

Thalikum biannahu itha duAAiya Allahu wahdahu kafartum wain yushrak bihi tuminoo faalhukmu lillahi alAAaliyyi alkabeeri

«... Il en est ainsi car lorsqu'Allah était invoqué seul (sans associé), vous ne croyiez pas; et si on Lui donnait des associés, alors vous croyiez. Le jugement appartient à Allah, le Très Haut, le Très Grand».

(The answer will be:) "This is because, when Allah was invoked as the Only (object of worship), ye did reject Faith, but when partners were joined to Him, ye believed! the Command is with Allah, Most High, Most Great!"

هُوَ الَّذِى يُرِيكُمْ ءَايَٰتِهِۦ وَيُنَزِّلُ لَكُم مِّنَ السَّمَآءِ رِزْقًا ۚ وَمَا يَتَذَكَّرُ إِلَّا مَن يُنِيبُ[13]

Huwa allathee yureekum ayatihi wayunazzilu lakum mina alssamai rizqan wama yatathakkaru illa man yuneebu

C'est Lui qui vous fait voir Ses preuves, et fait descendre du ciel, pour vous, une subsistance. Seul se rappelle celui qui revient [à Allah].

He it is Who showeth you his Signs, and sendeth down sustenance for you from the sky: but only those receive admonition who turn (to Allah).

فَادْعُوا۟ اللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكَٰفِرُونَ[14]

FaodAAoo Allaha mukhliseena lahu alddeena walaw kariha alkafiroona

Invoquez Allah donc, en Lui vouant un culte exclusif quelque répulsion qu'en aient les mécréants.

Call ye, then, upon Allah with sincere devotion to Him, even though the Unbelievers may detest it.

رَفِيعُ الدَّرَجَٰتِ ذُو الْعَرْشِ يُلْقِى الرُّوحَ مِنْ أَمْرِهِۦ عَلَىٰ مَن يَشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِۦ لِيُنذِرَ يَوْمَ التَّلَاقِ[15]

RafeeAAu alddarajati thoo alAAarshi yulqee alrrooha min amrihi AAala man yashao min AAibadihi liyunthira yawma alttalaqi

Il est Celui qui est élevé aux degrés les plus hauts, Possesseur du Trône, Il envoie par son ordre l'Esprit sur celui qu'Il veut parmi Ses serviteurs, afin que celui-ci avertisse du jour de la Rencontre,

Raised high above ranks (or degrees), (He is) the Lord of the Throne (of Authority): by His Command doth He send the Spirit (of inspiration) to any of His servants he pleases, that it may warn (men) of the Day of Mutual Meeting,-

يَوْمَ هُم بَٰرِزُونَ ۖ لَا يَخْفَىٰ عَلَى اللَّهِ مِنْهُمْ شَىْءٌ ۚ لِّمَنِ الْمُلْكُ الْيَوْمَ ۖ لِلَّهِ الْوَٰحِدِ الْقَهَّارِ[16]

Yawma hum barizoona la yakhfa AAala Allahi minhum shayon limani almulku alyawma lillahi alwahidi alqahhari

le jour où ils comparaîtront sans que rien en eux ne soit caché à Allah. A qui appartient la royauté, aujourd'hui? A Allah, l'Unique, le Dominateur.

The Day whereon they will (all) come forth: not a single thing concerning them is hidden from Allah. Whose will be the dominion that Day?" That of Allah, the One the Irresistible!

الْيَوْمَ تُجْزَىٰ كُلُّ نَفْسٍۭ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ ۚ لَا ظُلْمَ الْيَوْمَ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَرِيعُ الْحِسَابِ[17]

Alyawma tujza kullu nafsin bima kasabat la thulma alyawma inna Allaha sareeAAu alhisabi

Ce jour-là, chaque âme sera rétribuée selon ce qu'elle aura acquis. Ce jour-là, pas d'injustice, car Allah est prompt dans [Ses] comptes.

That Day will every soul be requited for what it earned; no injustice will there be that Day, for Allah is Swift in taking account.

وَأَنذِرْهُمْ يَوْمَ الْءَازِفَةِ إِذِ الْقُلُوبُ لَدَى الْحَنَاجِرِ كَٰظِمِينَ ۚ مَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ مِنْ حَمِيمٍ وَلَا شَفِيعٍ يُطَاعُ[18]

Waanthirhum yawma alazifati ithi alquloobu lada alhanajiri ka thimeena ma lil thth alimeena min hameemin wala shafeeAAin yutaAAu

Et avertis-les du jour qui approche, quand les cœurs remonteront aux gorges, terrifiés (ou angoissés). Les injustes n'auront ni ami zélé, ni intercesseur écouté.

Warn them of the Day that is (ever) drawing near, when the hearts will (come) right up to the throats to choke (them); No intimate friend nor intercessor will the wrong-doers have, who could be listened to.

يَعْلَمُ خَآئِنَةَ الْأَعْيُنِ وَمَا تُخْفِى الصُّدُورُ[19]

YaAAlamu khainata alaAAyuni wama tukhfee al ssudooru

Il (Allah) connaît la trahison des yeux, tout comme ce que les poitrines cachent.

(Allah) knows of (the tricks) that deceive with the eyes, and all that the hearts (of men) conceal.

وَاللَّهُ يَقْضِى بِالْحَقِّ ۖ وَالَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِۦ لَا يَقْضُونَ بِشَىْءٍ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْبَصِيرُ[20]

WaAllahu yaqdee bialhaqqi waallatheena yadAAoona min doonihi la yaqdoona bishayin inna Allaha huwa alssameeAAu albaseeru

Et Allah juge en toute équité, tandis que ceux qu'ils invoquent en dehors de Lui ne jugent rien. En vérité c'est Allah qui est l'Audient, le Clairvoyant.

And Allah will judge with (justice and) Truth: but those whom (men) invoke besides Him, will not (be in a position) to judge at all. Verily it is Allah (alone) Who hears and sees (all things).

۞ أَوَلَمْ يَسِيرُوا۟ فِى الْأَرْضِ فَيَنظُرُوا۟ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا۟ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ كَانُوا۟ هُمْ أَشَدَّ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّةً وَءَاثَارًا فِى الْأَرْضِ فَأَخَذَهُمُ اللَّهُ بِذُنُوبِهِمْ وَمَا كَانَ لَهُم مِّنَ اللَّهِ مِن وَاقٍ[21]

Awa lam yaseeroo fee alardi fayanthuroo kayfa kana AAaqibatu allatheena kanoo min qablihim kanoo hum ashadda minhum quwwatan waatharan fee alardi faakhathahumu Allahu bithunoobihim wama kana lahum mina Allahi min waqin

Ne parcourent-ils pas la terre, pour voir ce qu'il est advenu de ceux qui ont vécu avant eux? Ils étaient [pourtant] plus forts qu'eux et ont laissé sur terre bien plus de vestiges. Allah les saisit pour leurs péchés et ils n'eurent point de protecteur contre Allah.

Do they not travel through the earth and see what was the End of those before them? They were even superior to them in strength, and in the traces (they have left) in the land: but Allah did call them to account for their sins, and none had they to defend them against Allah.

ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَانَت تَّأْتِيهِمْ رُسُلُهُم بِالْبَيِّنَٰتِ فَكَفَرُوا۟ فَأَخَذَهُمُ اللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ قَوِىٌّ شَدِيدُ الْعِقَابِ[22]

Thalika biannahum kanat tateehim rusuluhum bialbayyinati fakafaroo faakhathahumu Allahu innahu qawiyyun shadeedu alAAiqabi

Ce fut ainsi, parce que leurs Messagers leur avaient apporté les preuves, mais ils se montrèrent mécréants. Allah donc les saisit, car Il est fort et redoutable dans Son châtiment.

That was because there came to them their messengers with Clear (Signs), but they rejected them: So Allah called them to account: for He is Full of Strength, Strict in Punishment.

وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مُوسَىٰ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا وَسُلْطَٰنٍ مُّبِينٍ[23]

Walaqad arsalna moosa biayatina wasultanin mubeenin

Nous envoyâmes effectivement Moïse avec Nos signes et une preuve évidente,

Of old We sent Moses, with Our Signs and an authority manifest,

إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ وَهَٰمَٰنَ وَقَٰرُونَ فَقَالُوا۟ سَٰحِرٌ كَذَّابٌ[24]

vers Pharaon, Hâmân et Coré. Mais ils dirent: «Magicien! Grand menteur!»

To Pharaoh, Haman, and Qarun; but they called (him)" a sorcerer telling lies!"...

فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُم بِالْحَقِّ مِنْ عِندِنَا قَالُوا۟ اقْتُلُوٓا۟ أَبْنَآءَ الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مَعَهُۥ وَاسْتَحْيُوا۟ نِسَآءَهُمْ ۚ وَمَا كَيْدُ الْكَٰفِرِينَ إِلَّا فِى ضَلَٰلٍ[25]

Falamma jaahum bialhaqqi min AAindina qaloo oqtuloo abnaa allatheena amanoo maAAahu waistahyoo nisaahum wama kaydu alkafireena illa fee dalalin

Puis, quand il leur eut apporté la vérité venant de Nous, ils dirent: «Tuez les fils de ceux qui ont cru avec lui, et laissez vivre leurs femmes». Et les ruses des mécréants ne vont qu'en pure perte.

Now, when he came to them in Truth, from Us, they said, "Slay the sons of those who believe with him, and keep alive their females," but the plots of Unbelievers (end) in nothing but errors (and delusions)!...

وَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ ذَرُونِىٓ أَقْتُلْ مُوسَىٰ وَلْيَدْعُ رَبَّهُۥٓ ۖ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ أَن يُبَدِّلَ دِينَكُمْ أَوْ أَن يُظْهِرَ فِى الْأَرْضِ الْفَسَادَ[26]

Waqala firAAawnu tharoonee aqtul moosa walyadAAu rabbahu innee akhafu an yubaddila deenakum aw an yuthhira fee alardi alfasada

Et Pharaon dit: «Laissez-moi tuer Moïse. Et qu'il appelle son Seigneur! Je crains qu'il ne change votre religion ou qu'il ne fasse apparaître la corruption sur terre».

Said Pharaoh: "Leave me to slay Moses; and let him call on his Lord! What I fear is lest he should change your religion, or lest he should cause mischief to appear in the land!"

وَقَالَ مُوسَىٰٓ إِنِّى عُذْتُ بِرَبِّى وَرَبِّكُم مِّن كُلِّ مُتَكَبِّرٍ لَّا يُؤْمِنُ بِيَوْمِ الْحِسَابِ[27]

Waqala moosa innee AAuthtu birabbee warabbikum min kulli mutakabbirin la yuminu biyawmi alhisabi

Moïse [lui] dit: «Je cherche auprès de mon Seigneur et le vôtre, protection contre tout orgueilleux qui ne croit pas au jour du Compte».

Moses said: "I have indeed called upon my Lord and your Lord (for protection) from every arrogant one who believes not in the Day of Account!"

وَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مُّؤْمِنٌ مِّنْ ءَالِ فِرْعَوْنَ يَكْتُمُ إِيمَٰنَهُۥٓ أَتَقْتُلُونَ رَجُلًا أَن يَقُولَ رَبِّىَ اللَّهُ وَقَدْ جَآءَكُم بِالْبَيِّنَٰتِ مِن رَّبِّكُمْ ۖ وَإِن يَكُ كَٰذِبًا فَعَلَيْهِ كَذِبُهُۥ ۖ وَإِن يَكُ صَادِقًا يُصِبْكُم بَعْضُ الَّذِى يَعِدُكُمْ ۖ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِى مَنْ هُوَ مُسْرِفٌ كَذَّابٌ[28]

Waqala rajulun muminun min ali firAAawna yaktumu eemanahu ataqtuloona rajulan an yaqoola rabbiyya Allahu waqad jaakum bialbayyinati min rabbikum wain yaku kathiban faAAalayhi kathibuhu wain yaku sadiqan yusibkum baAAdu allathee yaAAidukum inna Allaha la yahdee man huwa musrifun kaththabun

Et un homme croyant de la famille de Pharaon, qui dissimulait sa foi dit: «Tuez-vous un homme parce qu'il dit: «Mon Seigneur est Allah?» Alors qu'il est venu à vous avec les preuves évidentes de la part de votre Seigneur. S'il est menteur, son mensonge sera à son détriment; tandis que s'il est véridique, alors une partie de ce dont il vous menace tombera sur vous». Certes, Allah ne guide pas celui qui est outrancier et imposteur!

A believer, a man from among the people of Pharaoh, who had concealed his faith, said: "Will ye slay a man because he says, 'My Lord is Allah'?- when he has indeed come to you with Clear (Signs) from your Lord? and if he be a liar, on him is (the sin of) his lie: but, if he is telling the Truth, then will fall on you something of the (calamity) of which he warns you: Truly Allah guides not one who transgresses and lies!

يَٰقَوْمِ لَكُمُ الْمُلْكُ الْيَوْمَ ظَٰهِرِينَ فِى الْأَرْضِ فَمَن يَنصُرُنَا مِنۢ بَأْسِ اللَّهِ إِن جَآءَنَا ۚ قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ مَآ أُرِيكُمْ إِلَّا مَآ أَرَىٰ وَمَآ أَهْدِيكُمْ إِلَّا سَبِيلَ الرَّشَادِ[29]

Ya qawmi lakumu almulku alyawma th ahireena fee alardi faman yansuruna min basi Allahi in jaana qala firAAawnu ma oreekum illa ma ara wama ahdeekum illa sabeela alrrashadi

«O mon peuple, triomphant sur la terre, vous avez la royauté aujourd'hui. Mais qui nous secourra de la rigueur d'Allah si elle nous vient?» Pharaon dit: «Je ne vous indique que ce que je considère bon. Je ne vous guide qu'au sentier de la droiture».

"O my People! Yours is the dominion this day: Ye have the upper hand in the land: but who will help us from the Punishment of Allah, should it befall us?" Pharaoh said: "I but point out to you that which I see (myself); Nor do I guide you but to the Path of Right!"

وَقَالَ الَّذِىٓ ءَامَنَ يَٰقَوْمِ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُم مِّثْلَ يَوْمِ الْأَحْزَابِ[30]

Waqala allathee amana ya qawmi innee akhafu AAalaykum mithla yawmi alahzabi

Et celui qui était croyant dit: «O mon peuple, je crains pour vous un jour semblable à celui des coalisés.

Then said the man who believed: "O my people! Truly I do fear for you something like the Day (of disaster) of the Confederates (in sin)!-

مِثْلَ دَأْبِ قَوْمِ نُوحٍ وَعَادٍ وَثَمُودَ وَالَّذِينَ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِمْ ۚ وَمَا اللَّهُ يُرِيدُ ظُلْمًا لِّلْعِبَادِ[31]

Un sort semblable à celui du peuple de Noé, des 'Aad et des Thamûd et de ceux [qui vécurent] après eux». Allah ne veut [faire subir] aucune injustice aux serviteurs.

"Something like the fate of the People of Noah, the 'Ad, and the Thamud, and those who came after them: but Allah never wishes injustice to his Servants.

وَيَٰقَوْمِ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَوْمَ التَّنَادِ[32]

Waya qawmi innee akhafu AAalaykum yawma alttanadi

«O mon peuple, je crains pour vous le jour de l'Appel Mutuel,

"And O my people! I fear for you a Day when there will be Mutual calling (and wailing),-

يَوْمَ تُوَلُّونَ مُدْبِرِينَ مَا لَكُم مِّنَ اللَّهِ مِنْ عَاصِمٍ ۗ وَمَن يُضْلِلِ اللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُۥ مِنْ هَادٍ[33]

Yawma tuwalloona mudbireena ma lakum mina Allahi min AAasimin waman yudlili Allahu fama lahu min hadin

Le jour où vous tournerez le dos en déroute, sans qu'il y ait pour vous de protecteur contre Allah». Et quiconque Allah égare, n'a point de guide.

"A Day when ye shall turn your backs and flee: No defender shall ye have from Allah: Any whom Allah leaves to stray, there is none to guide...

وَلَقَدْ جَآءَكُمْ يُوسُفُ مِن قَبْلُ بِالْبَيِّنَٰتِ فَمَا زِلْتُمْ فِى شَكٍّ مِّمَّا جَآءَكُم بِهِۦ ۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا هَلَكَ قُلْتُمْ لَن يَبْعَثَ اللَّهُ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِۦ رَسُولًا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ اللَّهُ مَنْ هُوَ مُسْرِفٌ مُّرْتَابٌ[34]

Certes, Joseph vous est venu auparavant avec les preuves évidentes, mais vous n'avez jamais cessé d'avoir des doutes sur ce qu'il vous avait apporté. Mais lorsqu'il mourut, vous dites alors: «Allah n'enverra plus jamais de Messager après lui». Ainsi Allah égare-t-Il celui qui est outrancier et celui qui doute.

"And to you there came Joseph in times gone by, with Clear Signs, but ye ceased not to doubt of the (Mission) for which he had come: At length, when he died, ye said: 'No messenger will Allah send after him.' thus doth Allah leave to stray such as transgress and live in doubt,-

الَّذِينَ يُجَٰدِلُونَ فِىٓ ءَايَٰتِ اللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ سُلْطَٰنٍ أَتَىٰهُمْ ۖ كَبُرَ مَقْتًا عِندَ اللَّهِ وَعِندَ الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يَطْبَعُ اللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ قَلْبِ مُتَكَبِّرٍ جَبَّارٍ[35]

Ceux qui discutent les prodiges d'Allah sans qu'aucune preuve ne leur soit venue, [leur action] est grandement haïssable auprès d'Allah et auprès de ceux qui croient. Ainsi Allah scelle-t-Il le cœur de tout orgueilleux tyran.

"(Such) as dispute about the Signs of Allah, without any authority that hath reached them, grievous and odious (is such conduct) in the sight of Allah and of the Believers. Thus doth Allah, seal up every heart - of arrogant and obstinate Transgressors."

وَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ يَٰهَٰمَٰنُ ابْنِ لِى صَرْحًا لَّعَلِّىٓ أَبْلُغُ الْأَسْبَٰبَ[36]

Waqala firAAawnu ya hamanu ibni lee sarhan laAAallee ablughu alasbaba

Et Pharaon dit: «O Hâmân, bâtis-moi une tour: peut-être atteindrai-je les voies,

Pharaoh said: "O Haman! Build me a lofty palace, that I may attain the ways and means-

أَسْبَٰبَ السَّمَٰوَٰتِ فَأَطَّلِعَ إِلَىٰٓ إِلَٰهِ مُوسَىٰ وَإِنِّى لَأَظُنُّهُۥ كَٰذِبًا ۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ زُيِّنَ لِفِرْعَوْنَ سُوٓءُ عَمَلِهِۦ وَصُدَّ عَنِ السَّبِيلِ ۚ وَمَا كَيْدُ فِرْعَوْنَ إِلَّا فِى تَبَابٍ[37]

Asbaba alssamawati faattaliAAa ila ilahi moosa wainnee laathunnuhu kathiban wakathalika zuyyina lifirAAawna sooo AAamalihi wasudda AAani alssabeeli wama kaydu firAAawna illa fee tababin

les voies des cieux, et apercevrai-je le Dieu de Moïse; mais je pense que celui-ci est menteur». Ainsi la mauvaise action de Pharaon lui parut enjolivée; et il fut détourné du droit chemin; et le stratagème de Pharaon n'est voué qu'à la destruction.

"The ways and means of (reaching) the heavens, and that I may mount up to the god of Moses: But as far as I am concerned, I think (Moses) is a liar!" Thus was made alluring, in Pharaoh's eyes, the evil of his deeds, and he was hindered from the Path; and the plot of Pharaoh led to nothing but perdition (for him).

وَقَالَ الَّذِىٓ ءَامَنَ يَٰقَوْمِ اتَّبِعُونِ أَهْدِكُمْ سَبِيلَ الرَّشَادِ[38]

Waqala allathee amana ya qawmi ittabiAAooni ahdikum sabeela alrrashadi

Et celui qui avait cru dit: «O mon peuple, suivez-moi. Je vous guiderai au sentier de la droiture.

The man who believed said further: "O my people! Follow me: I will lead you to the Path of Right.

يَٰقَوْمِ إِنَّمَا هَٰذِهِ الْحَيَوٰةُ الدُّنْيَا مَتَٰعٌ وَإِنَّ الْءَاخِرَةَ هِىَ دَارُ الْقَرَارِ[39]

Ya qawmi innama hathihi alhayatu alddunya mataAAun wainna alakhirata hiya daru alqarari

O mon peuple, cette vie n'est que jouissance temporaire, alors que l'au-delà est vraiment la demeure de la stabilité.

"O my people! This life of the present is nothing but (temporary) convenience: It is the Hereafter that is the Home that will last.

مَنْ عَمِلَ سَيِّئَةً فَلَا يُجْزَىٰٓ إِلَّا مِثْلَهَا ۖ وَمَنْ عَمِلَ صَٰلِحًا مِّن ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنثَىٰ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ يُرْزَقُونَ فِيهَا بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ[40]

Man AAamila sayyiatan fala yujza illa mithlaha waman AAamila salihan min thakarin aw ontha wahuwa muminun faolaika yadkhuloona aljannata yurzaqoona feeha bighayri hisabin

Quiconque fait une mauvaise action ne sera rétribué que par son pareil; et quiconque, mâle ou femelle, fait une bonne action tout en étant croyant, alors ceux-là entreront au Paradis pour y recevoir leur subsistance sans compter.

"He that works evil will not be requited but by the like thereof: and he that works a righteous deed - whether man or woman - and is a Believer- such will enter the Garden (of Bliss): Therein will they have abundance without measure.

۞ وَيَٰقَوْمِ مَا لِىٓ أَدْعُوكُمْ إِلَى النَّجَوٰةِ وَتَدْعُونَنِىٓ إِلَى النَّارِ[41]

Waya qawmi ma lee adAAookum ila alnnajati watadAAoonanee ila alnnari

O mon peuple, mais qu'ai-je à vous appeler au salut, alors que vous m'appelez au Feu?

"And O my people! How (strange) it is for me to call you to Salvation while ye call me to the Fire!

تَدْعُونَنِى لِأَكْفُرَ بِاللَّهِ وَأُشْرِكَ بِهِۦ مَا لَيْسَ لِى بِهِۦ عِلْمٌ وَأَنَا۠ أَدْعُوكُمْ إِلَى الْعَزِيزِ الْغَفَّٰرِ[42]

TadAAoonanee liakfura biAllahi waoshrika bihi ma laysa lee bihi AAilmun waana adAAookum ila alAAazeezi alghaffari

Vous m'invitez à nier Allah et à Lui donner des associés dont je n'ai aucun savoir, alors que je vous appelle au Tout Puissant, au Grand Pardonneur.

"Ye do call upon me to blaspheme against Allah, and to join with Him partners of whom I have no knowledge; and I call you to the Exalted in Power, Who forgives again and again!"

لَا جَرَمَ أَنَّمَا تَدْعُونَنِىٓ إِلَيْهِ لَيْسَ لَهُۥ دَعْوَةٌ فِى الدُّنْيَا وَلَا فِى الْءَاخِرَةِ وَأَنَّ مَرَدَّنَآ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَأَنَّ الْمُسْرِفِينَ هُمْ أَصْحَٰبُ النَّارِ[43]

La jarama annama tadAAoonanee ilayhi laysa lahu daAAwatun fee alddunya wala fee alakhirati waanna maraddana ila Allahi waanna almusrifeena hum as habu alnnari

Nul doute que ce à quoi vous m'appelez ne peut exaucer une invocation ni ici-bas ni dans l'au-delà. C'est vers Allah qu'est notre retour, et les outranciers sont eux les gens du Feu.

"Without doubt ye do call me to one who is not fit to be called to, whether in this world, or in the Hereafter; our return will be to Allah; and the Transgressors will be Companions of the Fire!

فَسَتَذْكُرُونَ مَآ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ ۚ وَأُفَوِّضُ أَمْرِىٓ إِلَى اللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بَصِيرٌۢ بِالْعِبَادِ[44]

Fasatathkuroona ma aqoolu lakum waofawwidu amree ila Allahi inna Allaha baseerun bialAAibadi

Bientôt vous vous rappellerez ce que je vous dis; et je confie mon sort à Allah. Allah est, certes, Clairvoyant sur les serviteurs.

"Soon will ye remember what I say to you (now), My (own) affair I commit to Allah: for Allah (ever) watches over His Servants."

فَوَقَىٰهُ اللَّهُ سَيِّـَٔاتِ مَا مَكَرُوا۟ ۖ وَحَاقَ بِـَٔالِ فِرْعَوْنَ سُوٓءُ الْعَذَابِ[45]

Fawaqahu Allahu sayyiati ma makaroo wahaqa biali firAAawna sooo alAAathabi

Allah donc le protégea des méfaits de leurs ruses, alors que le pire châtiment cerna les gens de Pharaon:

Then Allah saved him from (every) ill that they plotted (against him), but the burnt of the Penalty encompassed on all sides the People of Pharaoh.

النَّارُ يُعْرَضُونَ عَلَيْهَا غُدُوًّا وَعَشِيًّا ۖ وَيَوْمَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ أَدْخِلُوٓا۟ ءَالَ فِرْعَوْنَ أَشَدَّ الْعَذَابِ[46]

Alnnaru yuAAradoona AAalayha ghuduwwan waAAashiyyan wayawma taqoomu alssaAAatu adkhiloo ala firAAawna ashadda alAAathabi

le Feu, auquel ils sont exposés matin et soir. Et le jour où l'Heure arrivera (il sera dit): «Faites entrer les gens de Pharaon au plus dur du châtiment».

In front of the Fire will they be brought, morning and evening: And (the sentence will be) on the Day that Judgment will be established: "Cast ye the People of Pharaoh into the severest Penalty!"

وَإِذْ يَتَحَآجُّونَ فِى النَّارِ فَيَقُولُ الضُّعَفَٰٓؤُا۟ لِلَّذِينَ اسْتَكْبَرُوٓا۟ إِنَّا كُنَّا لَكُمْ تَبَعًا فَهَلْ أَنتُم مُّغْنُونَ عَنَّا نَصِيبًا مِّنَ النَّارِ[47]

Waith yatahajjoona fee alnnari fayaqoolu al dduAAafao lillatheena istakbaroo inna kunna lakum tabaAAan fahal antum mughnoona AAanna naseeban mina alnnari

Et quand ils se disputeront dans le Feu, les faibles diront à ceux qui s'enflaient d'orgueil: «Nous vous avions suivis: pourriez-vous nous préserver d'une partie du feu?»

Behold, they will dispute with each other in the Fire! The weak ones (who followed) will say to those who had been arrogant, "We but followed you: Can ye then take (on yourselves) from us some share of the Fire?

قَالَ الَّذِينَ اسْتَكْبَرُوٓا۟ إِنَّا كُلٌّ فِيهَآ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ حَكَمَ بَيْنَ الْعِبَادِ[48]

Qala allatheena istakbaroo inna kullun feeha inna Allaha qad hakama bayna alAAibadi

Et ceux qui s'enflaient d'orgueil diront: «En vérité, nous y voilà tous». Allah a déjà rendu son jugement entre les serviteurs.

Those who had been arrogant will say: "We are all in this (Fire)! Truly, Allah has judged between (his) Servants!"

وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ فِى النَّارِ لِخَزَنَةِ جَهَنَّمَ ادْعُوا۟ رَبَّكُمْ يُخَفِّفْ عَنَّا يَوْمًا مِّنَ الْعَذَابِ[49]

Waqala allatheena fee alnnari likhazanati jahannama odAAoo rabbakum yukhaffif AAanna yawman mina alAAathabi

Et ceux qui seront dans le Feu diront aux gardiens de l'Enfer: «Priez votre Seigneur de nous alléger un jour de [notre] supplice».

Those in the Fire will say to the Keepers of Hell: "Pray to your Lord to lighten us the Penalty for a day (at least)!"

قَالُوٓا۟ أَوَلَمْ تَكُ تَأْتِيكُمْ رُسُلُكُم بِالْبَيِّنَٰتِ ۖ قَالُوا۟ بَلَىٰ ۚ قَالُوا۟ فَادْعُوا۟ ۗ وَمَا دُعَٰٓؤُا۟ الْكَٰفِرِينَ إِلَّا فِى ضَلَٰلٍ[50]

Qaloo awalam taku tateekum rusulukum bialbayyinati qaloo bala qaloo faodAAoo wama duAAao alkafireena illa fee dalalin

Ils diront: «vos Messagers, ne vous apportaient-ils pas les preuves évidentes?» Ils diront: «Si»! Ils [les gardiens] diront: «Eh bien, priez» ! Et l'invocation des mécréants n'est qu'aberration.

They will say: "Did there not come to you your messengers with Clear Signs?" They will say, "Yes". They will reply, "Then pray (as ye like)! But the prayer of those without Faith is nothing but (futile wandering) in (mazes of) error!"

إِنَّا لَنَنصُرُ رُسُلَنَا وَالَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ فِى الْحَيَوٰةِ الدُّنْيَا وَيَوْمَ يَقُومُ الْأَشْهَٰدُ[51]

Inna lanansuru rusulana waallatheena amanoo fee alhayati alddunya wayawma yaqoomu alashhadu

Nous secourrons, certes, Nos Messagers et ceux qui croient, dans la vie présente tout comme au jour où les témoins [les Anges gardiens] se dresseront (le Jour du Jugement),

We will, without doubt, help our messengers and those who believe, (both) in this world's life and on the Day when the Witnesses will stand forth,-

يَوْمَ لَا يَنفَعُ الظَّٰلِمِينَ مَعْذِرَتُهُمْ ۖ وَلَهُمُ اللَّعْنَةُ وَلَهُمْ سُوٓءُ الدَّارِ[52]

Yawma la yanfaAAu al thth alimeena maAAthiratuhum walahumu allaAAnatu walahum sooo alddari

au jour où leur excuse ne sera pas utile aux injustes, tandis qu'il y aura pour eux la malédiction et la pire demeure.

The Day when no profit will it be to Wrong-doers to present their excuses, but they will (only) have the Curse and the Home of Misery.

وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَا مُوسَى الْهُدَىٰ وَأَوْرَثْنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ الْكِتَٰبَ[53]

Walaqad atayna moosa alhuda waawrathna banee israeela alkitaba

En effet, Nous avons apporté à Moïse la guidée, et fait hériter aux Enfants d'Israël, le Livre,

We did aforetime give Moses the (Book of) Guidance, and We gave the book in inheritance to the Children of Israel,-

هُدًى وَذِكْرَىٰ لِأُو۟لِى الْأَلْبَٰبِ[54]

Hudan wathikra liolee alalbabi

une guidée et un rappel aux gens doués d'intelligence.

A Guide and a Message to men of Understanding.

فَاصْبِرْ إِنَّ وَعْدَ اللَّهِ حَقٌّ وَاسْتَغْفِرْ لِذَنۢبِكَ وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ بِالْعَشِىِّ وَالْإِبْكَٰرِ[55]

Fai sbir inna waAAda Allahi haqqun waistaghfir lithanbika wasabbih bihamdi rabbika bialAAashiyyi waalibkari

Endure donc, car la promesse d'Allah est vérité, implore le pardon pour ton péché et célèbre la gloire et la louange de ton Seigneur, soir et matin.

Patiently, then, persevere: for the Promise of Allah is true: and ask forgiveness for thy fault, and celebrate the Praises of thy Lord in the evening and in the morning.

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُجَٰدِلُونَ فِىٓ ءَايَٰتِ اللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ سُلْطَٰنٍ أَتَىٰهُمْ ۙ إِن فِى صُدُورِهِمْ إِلَّا كِبْرٌ مَّا هُم بِبَٰلِغِيهِ ۚ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْبَصِيرُ[56]

Ceux qui discutent sur les versets d'Allah sans qu'aucune preuve ne leur soit venue, n'ont dans leurs poitrines qu'orgueil. Ils n'atteindront pas leur but. Implore donc la protection d'Allah, car c'est Lui l'Audient, le Clairvoyant.

Those who dispute about the signs of Allah without any authority bestowed on them,- there is nothing in their breasts but (the quest of) greatness, which they shall never attain to: seek refuge, then, in Allah: It is He Who hears and sees (all things).

لَخَلْقُ السَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَالْأَرْضِ أَكْبَرُ مِنْ خَلْقِ النَّاسِ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ[57]

Lakhalqu alssamawati waalardi akbaru min khalqi alnnasi walakinna akthara alnnasi la yaAAlamoona

La création des cieux et de la terre est quelque chose de plus grand que la création des gens. Mais la plupart des gens ne savent pas.

Assuredly the creation of the heavens and the earth is a greater (matter) than the creation of men: Yet most men understand not.

وَمَا يَسْتَوِى الْأَعْمَىٰ وَالْبَصِيرُ وَالَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ الصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَلَا الْمُسِىٓءُ ۚ قَلِيلًا مَّا تَتَذَكَّرُونَ[58]

Wama yastawee alaAAma waalbaseeru waallatheena amanoo waAAamiloo al ssalihati wala almuseeo qaleelan ma tatathakkaroona

L'aveugle et le voyant ne sont pas égaux, et ceux qui croient et accomplissent les bonnes œuvres ne peuvent être comparés à celui qui fait le mal. C'est rare que vous vous rappeliez!

Not equal are the blind and those who (clearly) see: Nor are (equal) those who believe and work deeds of righteousness, and those who do evil. Little do ye learn by admonition!

إِنَّ السَّاعَةَ لَءَاتِيَةٌ لَّا رَيْبَ فِيهَا وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ[59]

En vérité; L'Heure va arriver: pas de doute là-dessus; mais la plupart des gens n'y croient pas.

The Hour will certainly come: Therein is no doubt: Yet most men believe not.

وَقَالَ رَبُّكُمُ ادْعُونِىٓ أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ ۚ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِى سَيَدْخُلُونَ جَهَنَّمَ دَاخِرِينَ[60]

Waqala rabbukumu odAAoonee astajib lakum inna allatheena yastakbiroona AAan AAibadatee sayadkhuloona jahannama dakhireena

Et votre Seigneur dit: «Appelez-Moi, Je vous répondrai. Ceux qui, par orgueil, se refusent à M'adorer entreront bientôt dans l'Enfer, humiliés».

And your Lord says: "Call on Me; I will answer your (Prayer): but those who are too arrogant to serve Me will surely find themselves in Hell - in humiliation!"

اللَّهُ الَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الَّيْلَ لِتَسْكُنُوا۟ فِيهِ وَالنَّهَارَ مُبْصِرًا ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَذُو فَضْلٍ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَشْكُرُونَ[61]

Allahu allathee jaAAala lakumu allayla litaskunoo feehi waalnnahara mubsiran inna Allaha lathoo fadlin AAala alnnasi walakinna akthara alnnasi la yashkuroona

Allah est celui qui vous a assigné la nuit pour que vous vous y reposiez, et le jour pour y voir clair. Allah est le Pourvoyeur de grâce aux hommes, mais la plupart des gens ne sont pas reconnaissants.

It is Allah Who has made the Night for you, that ye may rest therein, and the days as that which helps (you) to see. Verily Allah is full of Grace and Bounty to men: yet most men give no thanks.

ذَٰلِكُمُ اللَّهُ رَبُّكُمْ خَٰلِقُ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ لَّآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۖ فَأَنَّىٰ تُؤْفَكُونَ[62]

Thalikumu Allahu rabbukum khaliqu kulli shayin la ilaha illa huwa faanna tufakoona

Tel est votre Seigneur, Créateur de toute chose. Point de divinité à part Lui. Comment se fait-il que vous vous détourniez (du chemin droit)?

Such is Allah, your Lord, the Creator of all things, there is no god but He: Then how ye are deluded away from the Truth!

كَذَٰلِكَ يُؤْفَكُ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِ اللَّهِ يَجْحَدُونَ[63]

Kathalika yufaku allatheena kanoo biayati Allahi yajhadoona

Ainsi ceux qui nient les prodiges d'Allah se détournent-ils [du chemin droit.]

Thus are deluded those who are wont to reject the Signs of Allah.

اللَّهُ الَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْأَرْضَ قَرَارًا وَالسَّمَآءَ بِنَآءً وَصَوَّرَكُمْ فَأَحْسَنَ صُوَرَكُمْ وَرَزَقَكُم مِّنَ الطَّيِّبَٰتِ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمُ اللَّهُ رَبُّكُمْ ۖ فَتَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَٰلَمِينَ[64]

C'est Allah qui vous a assigné la terre comme demeure stable et le ciel comme toit et vous a donné votre forme, - et quelle belle forme Il vous a donnée! - et Il vous a nourris de bonnes choses. Tel est Allah, votre Seigneur; gloire à Allah, Seigneur de l'univers!

It is Allah Who has made for you the earth as a resting place, and the sky as a canopy, and has given you shape- and made your shapes beautiful,- and has provided for you Sustenance, of things pure and good;- such is Allah your Lord. So Glory to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds!

هُوَ الْحَىُّ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ فَادْعُوهُ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ ۗ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَٰلَمِينَ[65]

Huwa alhayyu la ilaha illa huwa faodAAoohu mukhliseena lahu alddeena alhamdu lillahi rabbi alAAalameena

C'est Lui le Vivant. Point de divinité à part Lui. Appelez-Le donc, en Lui vouant un culte exclusif. Louange à Allah, Seigneur de l'univers!

He is the Living (One): There is no god but He: Call upon Him, giving Him sincere devotion. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds!

۞ قُلْ إِنِّى نُهِيتُ أَنْ أَعْبُدَ الَّذِينَ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ لَمَّا جَآءَنِىَ الْبَيِّنَٰتُ مِن رَّبِّى وَأُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُسْلِمَ لِرَبِّ الْعَٰلَمِينَ[66]

Qul innee nuheetu an aAAbuda allatheena tadAAoona min dooni Allahi lamma jaaniya albayyinatu min rabbee waomirtu an oslima lirabbi alAAalameena

Dis: «Il m'a été interdit, une fois que les preuves me sont venues de mon Seigneur, d'adorer ceux que vous invoquez en dehors d'Allah, et il m'a été ordonné de me soumettre au Seigneur de l'univers».

Say: "I have been forbidden to invoke those whom ye invoke besides Allah,- seeing that the Clear Signs have come to me from my Lord; and I have been commanded to bow (in Islam) to the Lord of the Worlds."

هُوَ الَّذِى خَلَقَكُم مِّن تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ مِن نُّطْفَةٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ عَلَقَةٍ ثُمَّ يُخْرِجُكُمْ طِفْلًا ثُمَّ لِتَبْلُغُوٓا۟ أَشُدَّكُمْ ثُمَّ لِتَكُونُوا۟ شُيُوخًا ۚ وَمِنكُم مَّن يُتَوَفَّىٰ مِن قَبْلُ ۖ وَلِتَبْلُغُوٓا۟ أَجَلًا مُّسَمًّى وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ[67]

C'est Lui qui vous a créés de terre, puis d'une goutte sperme, puis d'une adhérence; puis Il vous fait sortir petit enfant pour qu'ensuite vous atteigniez votre maturité et qu'ensuite vous deveniez vieux, - certains parmi vous meurent plus tôt, - et pour que vous atteigniez un terme fixé, afin que vous raisonniez.

It is He Who has created you from dust then from a sperm-drop, then from a leech-like clot; then does he get you out (into the light) as a child: then lets you (grow and) reach your age of full strength; then lets you become old,- though of you there are some who die before;- and lets you reach a Term appointed; in order that ye may learn wisdom.

هُوَ الَّذِى يُحْىِۦ وَيُمِيتُ ۖ فَإِذَا قَضَىٰٓ أَمْرًا فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ[68]

Huwa allathee yuhyee wayumeetu faitha qada amran fainnama yaqoolu lahu kun fayakoonu

C'est Lui qui donne la vie et donne la mort. Puis quand Il décide une affaire, Il n'a qu'à dire: «Sois», et elle est.

It is He Who gives Life and Death; and when He decides upon an affair, He says to it, "Be", and it is.

Then shall it be said to them: "Where are the (deities) to which ye gave part-worship-

مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ ۖ قَالُوا۟ ضَلُّوا۟ عَنَّا بَل لَّمْ نَكُن نَّدْعُوا۟ مِن قَبْلُ شَيْـًٔا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ اللَّهُ الْكَٰفِرِينَ[74]

Min dooni Allahi qaloo dalloo AAanna bal lam nakun nadAAoo min qablu shayan kathalika yudillu Allahu alkafireena

à Allah?» «Ils se sont écartés de nous, diront-ils. Ou plutôt, nous n'invoquions rien, auparavant». Ainsi Allah égare-t-Il les mécréants.

"In derogation of Allah?" They will reply: "They have left us in the lurch: Nay, we invoked not, of old, anything (that had real existence)." Thus does Allah leave the Unbelievers to stray.

ذَٰلِكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَفْرَحُونَ فِى الْأَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ وَبِمَا كُنتُمْ تَمْرَحُونَ[75]

Thalikum bima kuntum tafrahoona fee alardi bighayri alhaqqi wabima kuntum tamrahoona

Voilà le prix de votre exultation sur terre, sans raison, ainsi que de votre joie immodérée.

"That was because ye were wont to rejoice on the earth in things other than the Truth, and that ye were wont to be insolent.

ادْخُلُوٓا۟ أَبْوَٰبَ جَهَنَّمَ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا ۖ فَبِئْسَ مَثْوَى الْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ[76]

Odkhuloo abwaba jahannama khalideena feeha fabisa mathwa almutakabbireena

Franchissez les portes de l'Enfer pour y demeurer éternellement. Qu'il est mauvais le lieu de séjour des orgueilleux!

"Enter ye the gates of Hell, to dwell therein: and evil is (this) abode of the arrogant!"

فَاصْبِرْ إِنَّ وَعْدَ اللَّهِ حَقٌّ ۚ فَإِمَّا نُرِيَنَّكَ بَعْضَ الَّذِى نَعِدُهُمْ أَوْ نَتَوَفَّيَنَّكَ فَإِلَيْنَا يُرْجَعُونَ[77]

Fai sbir inna waAAda Allahi haqqun faimma nuriyannaka baAAda allathee naAAiduhum aw natawaffayannaka failayna yurjaAAoona

Endure donc. La promesse d'Allah est vraie. Que Nous te montrions une partie de ce dont Nous les menaçons ou que Nous te fassions mourir (avant cela)... c'est vers Nous qu'ils seront ramenés.

So persevere in patience; for the Promise of Allah is true: and whether We show thee (in this life) some part of what We promise them,- or We take thy soul (to Our Mercy) (before that),-(in any case) it is to Us that they shall (all) return.

وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلًا مِّن قَبْلِكَ مِنْهُم مَّن قَصَصْنَا عَلَيْكَ وَمِنْهُم مَّن لَّمْ نَقْصُصْ عَلَيْكَ ۗ وَمَا كَانَ لِرَسُولٍ أَن يَأْتِىَ بِـَٔايَةٍ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ ۚ فَإِذَا جَآءَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ قُضِىَ بِالْحَقِّ وَخَسِرَ هُنَالِكَ الْمُبْطِلُونَ[78]

Walaqad arsalna rusulan min qablika minhum man qasasna AAalayka waminhum man lam naqsus AAalayka wama kana lirasoolin an yatiya biayatin illa biithni Allahi faitha jaa amru Allahi qudiya bialhaqqi wakhasira hunalika almubtiloona

Certes, Nous avons envoyé avant toi des Messagers. Il en est dont Nous t'avons raconté l'histoire; et il en est dont Nous ne t'avons pas raconté l'histoire. Et il n'appartient pas à un Messager d'apporter un signe [ou verset] si ce n'est avec la permission d'Allah. Lorsque le commandement d'Allah viendra, tout sera décidé en toute justice; et ceux qui profèrent des mensonges sont alors les perdants.

We did aforetime send messengers before thee: of them there are some whose story We have related to thee, and some whose story We have not related to thee. It was not (possible) for any messenger to bring a sign except by the leave of Allah: but when the Command of Allah issued, the matter was decided in truth and justice, and there perished, there and then those who stood on Falsehoods.

اللَّهُ الَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْأَنْعَٰمَ لِتَرْكَبُوا۟ مِنْهَا وَمِنْهَا تَأْكُلُونَ[79]

Allahu allathee jaAAala lakumu alanAAama litarkaboo minha waminha takuloona

C'est Allah qui vous a fait les bestiaux pour que vous en montiez et que vous en mangiez,

It is Allah Who made cattle for you, that ye may use some for riding and some for food;

وَلَكُمْ فِيهَا مَنَٰفِعُ وَلِتَبْلُغُوا۟ عَلَيْهَا حَاجَةً فِى صُدُورِكُمْ وَعَلَيْهَا وَعَلَى الْفُلْكِ تُحْمَلُونَ[80]

Walakum feeha manafiAAu walitablughoo AAalayha hajatan fee sudoorikum waAAalayha waAAala alfulki tuhmaloona

et vous y avez des profits et afin que vous atteigniez sur eux une chose nécessaire qui vous tenait à cœur. C'est sur eux et sur les vaisseaux que vous êtes transportés.

And there are (other) advantages in them for you (besides); that ye may through them attain to any need (there may be) in your hearts; and on them and on ships ye are carried.

وَيُرِيكُمْ ءَايَٰتِهِۦ فَأَىَّ ءَايَٰتِ اللَّهِ تُنكِرُونَ[81]

Wayureekum ayatihi faayya ayati Allahi tunkiroona

Et Il vous montre Ses merveilles. Quelles merveilles d'Allah niez-vous donc?

And He shows you (always) His Signs: then which of the Signs of Allah will ye deny?

أَفَلَمْ يَسِيرُوا۟ فِى الْأَرْضِ فَيَنظُرُوا۟ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ كَانُوٓا۟ أَكْثَرَ مِنْهُمْ وَأَشَدَّ قُوَّةً وَءَاثَارًا فِى الْأَرْضِ فَمَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ[82]

Afalam yaseeroo fee alardi fayanthuroo kayfa kana AAaqibatu allatheena min qablihim kanoo akthara minhum waashadda quwwatan waatharan fee alardi fama aghna AAanhum ma kanoo yaksiboona

Ne parcourent-ils donc pas la terre pour voir ce qu'il est advenu de ceux qui étaient avant eux? Ils étaient [pourtant] plus nombreux qu'eux et bien plus puissants et ils [avaient laissé] sur terre beaucoup plus de vestiges. Mais ce qu'ils ont acquis ne leur a servi à rien.

Do they not travel through the earth and see what was the End of those before them? They were more numerous than these and superior in strength and in the traces (they have left) in the land: Yet all that they accomplished was of no profit to them.

فَلَمَّا جَآءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُم بِالْبَيِّنَٰتِ فَرِحُوا۟ بِمَا عِندَهُم مِّنَ الْعِلْمِ وَحَاقَ بِهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ[83]

Falamma jaathum rusuluhum bialbayyinati farihoo bima AAindahum mina alAAilmi wahaqa bihim ma kanoo bihi yastahzioona

Lorsque leurs Messagers leur apportaient les preuves évidentes, ils exultaient des connaissances qu'ils avaient. Et ce dont ils se moquaient les enveloppa.

For when their messengers came to them with Clear Signs, they exulted in such knowledge (and skill) as they had; but that very (Wrath) at which they were wont to scoff hemmed them in.

فَلَمَّا رَأَوْا۟ بَأْسَنَا قَالُوٓا۟ ءَامَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَحْدَهُۥ وَكَفَرْنَا بِمَا كُنَّا بِهِۦ مُشْرِكِينَ[84]

Falamma raaw basana qaloo amanna biAllahi wahdahu wakafarna bima kunna bihi mushrikeena

Puis, quand ils virent Notre rigueur ils dirent: «Nous croyons en Allah Seul, et nous renions ce que nous Lui donnions comme associés».

But when they saw Our Punishment, they said: "We believe in Allah,- the one Allah - and we reject the partners we used to join with Him."

فَلَمْ يَكُ يَنفَعُهُمْ إِيمَٰنُهُمْ لَمَّا رَأَوْا۟ بَأْسَنَا ۖ سُنَّتَ اللَّهِ الَّتِى قَدْ خَلَتْ فِى عِبَادِهِۦ ۖ وَخَسِرَ هُنَالِكَ الْكَٰفِرُونَ[85]

Falam yaku yanfaAAuhum eemanuhum lamma raaw basana sunnata Allahi allatee qad khalat fee AAibadihi wakhasira hunalika alkafiroona

Mais leur croyance, au moment où ils eurent constaté Notre rigueur, ne leur profita point; Telle est la règle d'Allah envers Ses serviteurs dans le passé. Et c'est là que les mécréants se trouvèrent perdants.

But their professing the Faith when they (actually) saw Our Punishment was not going to profit them. (Such has been) Allah's Way of dealing with His Servants (from the most ancient times). And even thus did the Rejecters of Allah perish (utterly)!
