Voilà ceux qu'Allah a comblés de faveurs, parmi les prophètes, parmi les descendants d'Adam, et aussi parmi ceux que Nous avons transportés en compagnie de Noé, et parmi la descendance d'Abraham et d'Israël, et parmi ceux que Nous avons guidés et choisis. Quand les versets du Tout Miséricordieux leur étaient récités, ils tombaient prosternés en pleurant.

Those were some of the prophets on whom Allah did bestow His Grace,- of the posterity of Adam, and of those who We carried (in the Ark) with Noah, and of the posterity of Abraham and Israel of those whom We guided and chose. Whenever the Signs of (Allah) Most Gracious were rehearsed to them, they would fall down in prostrate adoration and in tears.

۞ فَخَلَفَ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِمْ خَلْفٌ أَضَاعُوا۟ الصَّلَوٰةَ وَاتَّبَعُوا۟ الشَّهَوَٰتِ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَلْقَوْنَ غَيًّا[59]

But after them there followed a posterity who missed prayers and followed after lusts soon, then, will they face Destruction,-

إِلَّا مَن تَابَ وَءَامَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَٰلِحًا فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ وَلَا يُظْلَمُونَ شَيْـًٔا[60]

sauf celui qui se repent, croit et fait le bien: ceux-là entreront dans le Paradis et ne seront point lésés,

Except those who repent and believe, and work righteousness: for these will enter the Garden and will not be wronged in the least,-

جَنَّٰتِ عَدْنٍ الَّتِى وَعَدَ الرَّحْمَٰنُ عِبَادَهُۥ بِالْغَيْبِ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ وَعْدُهُۥ مَأْتِيًّا[61]

Gardens of Eternity, those which (Allah) Most Gracious has promised to His servants in the Unseen: for His promise must (necessarily) come to pass.

لَّا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا إِلَّا سَلَٰمًا ۖ وَلَهُمْ رِزْقُهُمْ فِيهَا بُكْرَةً وَعَشِيًّا[62]

Such is the Garden which We give as an inheritance to those of Our servants who guard against Evil.

Wama natanazzalu illa biamri rabbika lahu ma bayna aydeena wama khalfana wama bayna thalika wama kana rabbuka nasiyyan

«Nous ne descendons que sur ordre de ton Seigneur. A Lui tout ce qui est devant nous, tout ce qui est derrière nous et tout ce qui est entre les deux. Ton Seigneur n'oublie rien.

(The angels say:) "We descend not but by command of thy Lord: to Him belongeth what is before us and what is behind us, and what is between: and thy Lord never doth forget,-

رَّبُّ السَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا فَاعْبُدْهُ وَاصْطَبِرْ لِعِبَٰدَتِهِۦ ۚ هَلْ تَعْلَمُ لَهُۥ سَمِيًّا[65]

Rabbu alssamawati waalardi wama baynahuma faoAAbudhu waistabir liAAibadatihi hal taAAlamu lahu samiyyan

Il est le Seigneur des cieux et de la terre et de tout ce qui est entre eux. Adore-Le donc, et sois constant dans Son adoration. Lui connais-tu un homonyme?»

"Lord of the heavens and of the earth, and of all that is between them; so worship Him, and be constant and patient in His worship: knowest thou of any who is worthy of the same Name as He?"

وَيَقُولُ الْإِنسَٰنُ أَءِذَا مَا مِتُّ لَسَوْفَ أُخْرَجُ حَيًّا[66]

Et l'homme dit: «Une fois mort, me sortira-t-on vivant?»

Man says: "What! When I am dead, shall I then be raised up alive?"

أَوَلَا يَذْكُرُ الْإِنسَٰنُ أَنَّا خَلَقْنَٰهُ مِن قَبْلُ وَلَمْ يَكُ شَيْـًٔا[67]

Awala yathkuru alinsanu anna khalaqnahu min qablu walam yaku shayan

L'homme ne se rappelle-t-il pas qu'avant cela, c'est Nous qui l'avons créé, alors qu'il n'était rien?

But does not man call to mind that We created him before out of nothing?

فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَحْشُرَنَّهُمْ وَالشَّيَٰطِينَ ثُمَّ لَنُحْضِرَنَّهُمْ حَوْلَ جَهَنَّمَ جِثِيًّا[68]

Fawarabbika lanahshurannahum waalshshayateena thumma lanuhdirannahum hawla jahannama jithiyyan

Par ton Seigneur! Assurément, Nous les rassemblerons, eux et les diables. Puis, Nous les placerons autour de l'Enfer, agenouillés.

So, by thy Lord, without doubt, We shall gather them together, and (also) the Evil Ones (with them); then shall We bring them forth on their knees round about Hell;

ثُمَّ لَنَنزِعَنَّ مِن كُلِّ شِيعَةٍ أَيُّهُمْ أَشَدُّ عَلَى الرَّحْمَٰنِ عِتِيًّا[69]

Thumma lananziAAanna min kulli sheeAAatin ayyuhum ashaddu AAala alrrahmani AAitiyyan

Ensuite, Nous arracherons de chaque groupe ceux d'entre eux qui étaient les plus obstinés contre le Tout Miséricordieux.

Then shall We certainly drag out from every sect all those who were worst in obstinate rebellion against (Allah) Most Gracious.

ثُمَّ لَنَحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِالَّذِينَ هُمْ أَوْلَىٰ بِهَا صِلِيًّا[70]

Thumma lanahnu aAAlamu biallatheena hum awla biha siliyyan

Puis nous sommes Le meilleur à savoir ceux qui méritent le plus d'y être brûlés.

And certainly We know best those who are most worthy of being burned therein.

وَإِن مِّنكُمْ إِلَّا وَارِدُهَا ۚ كَانَ عَلَىٰ رَبِّكَ حَتْمًا مَّقْضِيًّا[71]

Wain minkum illa wariduha kana AAala rabbika hatman maqdiyyan

Il n'y a personne parmi vous qui ne passera pas par [L'Enfer]: Car [il s'agit là] pour ton Seigneur d'une sentence irrévocable.

Not one of you but will pass over it: this is, with thy Lord, a Decree which must be accomplished.

ثُمَّ نُنَجِّى الَّذِينَ اتَّقَوا۟ وَّنَذَرُ الظَّٰلِمِينَ فِيهَا جِثِيًّا[72]

Thumma nunajjee allatheena ittaqaw wanatharu alththalimeena feeha jithiyyan

Ensuite, Nous délivrerons ceux qui étaient pieux et Nous y laisserons les injustes agenouillés.

But We shall save those who guarded against evil, and We shall leave the wrong-doers therein, (humbled) to their knees.

وَإِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَٰتُنَا بَيِّنَٰتٍ قَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ أَىُّ الْفَرِيقَيْنِ خَيْرٌ مَّقَامًا وَأَحْسَنُ نَدِيًّا[73]

Waitha tutla AAalayhim ayatuna bayyinatin qala allatheena kafaroo lillatheena amanoo ayyu alfareeqayni khayrun maqaman waahsanu nadiyyan

Et lorsque Nos versets évidents leur sont récités les mécréants disent à ceux qui croient: «Lequel des deux groupes a la situation la plus confortable et la meilleure compagnie?»

When Our Clear Signs are rehearsed to them, the Unbelievers say to those who believe, "Which of the two sides is best in point of position? Which makes the best show in council?"

وَكَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُم مِّن قَرْنٍ هُمْ أَحْسَنُ أَثَٰثًا وَرِءْيًا[74]

Wakam ahlakna qablahum min qarnin hum ahsanu athathan wariyan

Combien de générations, avant eux, avons-Nous fait périr, qui les surpassaient en biens et en apparence?

But how many (countless) generations before them have we destroyed, who were even better in equipment and in glitter to the eye?

قُلْ مَن كَانَ فِى الضَّلَٰلَةِ فَلْيَمْدُدْ لَهُ الرَّحْمَٰنُ مَدًّا ۚ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا رَأَوْا۟ مَا يُوعَدُونَ إِمَّا الْعَذَابَ وَإِمَّا السَّاعَةَ فَسَيَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ هُوَ شَرٌّ مَّكَانًا وَأَضْعَفُ جُندًا[75]

Qul man kana fee alddalalati falyamdud lahu alrrahmanu maddan hatta itha raaw ma yooAAadoona imma alAAathaba waimma alssaAAata fasayaAAlamoona man huwa sharrun makanan waadAAafu jundan

Dis: «Celui qui est dans l'égarement, que le Tout Miséricordieux prolonge sa vie pour un certain temps, jusqu'à ce qu'ils voient soit le châtiment, soit l'Heure dont ils sont menacés. Alors, ils sauront qui a la pire situation et la troupe la plus faible».

Say: "If any men go astray, (Allah) Most Gracious extends (the rope) to them, until, when they see the warning of Allah (being fulfilled) - either in punishment or in (the approach of) the Hour,- they will at length realise who is worst in position, and (who) weakest in forces!

وَيَزِيدُ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ اهْتَدَوْا۟ هُدًى ۗ وَالْبَٰقِيَٰتُ الصَّٰلِحَٰتُ خَيْرٌ عِندَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابًا وَخَيْرٌ مَّرَدًّا[76]

Wayazeedu Allahu allatheena ihtadaw hudan waalbaqiyatu alssalihatu khayrun AAinda rabbika thawaban wakhayrun maraddan

Allah accroît la rectitude de ceux qui suivent le bon chemin, et les bonnes œuvres durables méritent auprès de ton Seigneur une meilleure récompense et une meilleure destination.

"And Allah doth advance in guidance those who seek guidance: and the things that endure, Good Deeds, are best in the sight of thy Lord, as rewards, and best in respect of (their) eventual return."

أَفَرَءَيْتَ الَّذِى كَفَرَ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا وَقَالَ لَأُوتَيَنَّ مَالًا وَوَلَدًا[77]

Afaraayta allathee kafara biayatina waqala laootayanna malan wawaladan

As-tu vu celui qui ne croit pas à Nos versets et dit: «On me donnera certes des biens et des enfants»?

Hast thou then seen the (sort of) man who rejects Our Signs, yet says: "I shall certainly be given wealth and children?"

أَطَّلَعَ الْغَيْبَ أَمِ اتَّخَذَ عِندَ الرَّحْمَٰنِ عَهْدًا[78]

Est-il au courant de l'Inconnaissable ou a-t-il pris un engagement avec le Tout Miséricordieux?

Has he penetrated to the Unseen, or has he taken a contract with (Allah) Most Gracious?

كَلَّا ۚ سَنَكْتُبُ مَا يَقُولُ وَنَمُدُّ لَهُۥ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ مَدًّا[79]

Kalla sanaktubu ma yaqoolu wanamuddu lahu mina alAAathabi maddan

Bien au contraire! Nous enregistrerons ce qu'il dit et accroîtrons son châtiment.

Nay! We shall record what he says, and We shall add and add to his punishment.

وَنَرِثُهُۥ مَا يَقُولُ وَيَأْتِينَا فَرْدًا[80]

Wanarithuhu ma yaqoolu wayateena fardan

C'est Nous qui hériterons ce dont il parle, tandis qu'il viendra à Nous, tout seul.

To Us shall return all that he talks of and he shall appear before Us bare and alone.

Ils ont adopté des divinités en dehors d'Allah pour qu'ils leur soient des protecteurs (contre le châtiment).

And they have taken (for worship) gods other than Allah, to give them power and glory!

كَلَّا ۚ سَيَكْفُرُونَ بِعِبَادَتِهِمْ وَيَكُونُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضِدًّا[82]

Kalla sayakfuroona biAAibadatihim wayakoonoona AAalayhim diddan

Bien au contraire! [ces divinités] renieront leur adoration et seront pour eux des adversaires.

Instead, they shall reject their worship, and become adversaries against them.

N'as-tu pas vu que Nous avons envoyé contre les mécréants des diables qui les excitent furieusement [à désobéir]?

Seest thou not that We have set the Evil Ones on against the unbelievers, to incite them with fury?

فَلَا تَعْجَلْ عَلَيْهِمْ ۖ إِنَّمَا نَعُدُّ لَهُمْ عَدًّا[84]

Ne te hâte donc pas contre eux: Nous tenons un compte précis de [tous leurs actes].

So make no haste against them, for We but count out to them a (limited) number (of days).

يَوْمَ نَحْشُرُ الْمُتَّقِينَ إِلَى الرَّحْمَٰنِ وَفْدًا[85]

Yawma nahshuru almuttaqeena ila alrrahmani wafdan

(Rappelle-toi) le jour où Nous rassemblerons les pieux sur des montures et en grande pompe, auprès du Tout Miséricordieux,

The day We shall gather the righteous to (Allah) Most Gracious, like a band presented before a king for honours,

وَنَسُوقُ الْمُجْرِمِينَ إِلَىٰ جَهَنَّمَ وِرْدًا[86]

Wanasooqu almujrimeena ila jahannama wirdan

et pousserons les criminels à l'Enfer comme (un troupeau) à l'abreuvoir,

And We shall drive the sinners to Hell, like thirsty cattle driven down to water,-

So have We made the (Qur'an) easy in thine own tongue, that with it thou mayest give Glad Tidings to the righteous, and warnings to people given to contention.

وَكَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُم مِّن قَرْنٍ هَلْ تُحِسُّ مِنْهُم مِّنْ أَحَدٍ أَوْ تَسْمَعُ لَهُمْ رِكْزًۢا[98]

But how many (countless) generations before them have We destroyed? Canst thou find a single one of them (now) or hear (so much as) a whisper of them?
