Qu'on exalte la Bénédiction de Celui qui a fait descendre le Livre de Discernement sur Son serviteur, afin qu'il soit un avertisseur à l'univers.

Blessed is He who sent down the criterion to His servant, that it may be an admonition to all creatures;-

الَّذِى لَهُۥ مُلْكُ السَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَلَمْ يَتَّخِذْ وَلَدًا وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُۥ شَرِيكٌ فِى الْمُلْكِ وَخَلَقَ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ تَقْدِيرًا[2]

Celui à qui appartient la royauté des cieux et de la terre, qui ne S'est point attribué d'enfant, qui n'a point d'associé en Sa royauté et qui a créé toute chose en lui donnant ses justes proportions.

He to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth: no son has He begotten, nor has He a partner in His dominion: it is He who created all things, and ordered them in due proportions.

وَاتَّخَذُوا۟ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ ءَالِهَةً لَّا يَخْلُقُونَ شَيْـًٔا وَهُمْ يُخْلَقُونَ وَلَا يَمْلِكُونَ لِأَنفُسِهِمْ ضَرًّا وَلَا نَفْعًا وَلَا يَمْلِكُونَ مَوْتًا وَلَا حَيَوٰةً وَلَا نُشُورًا[3]

Yet have they taken, besides him, gods that can create nothing but are themselves created; that have no control of hurt or good to themselves; nor can they control death nor life nor resurrection.

Les mécréants disent: «Tout ceci n'est qu'un mensonge qu'il (Muhammad) a inventé, et où d'autres gens l'ont aidé». Or, ils commettent là une injustice et un mensonge.

But the misbelievers say: "Naught is this but a lie which he has forged, and others have helped him at it." In truth it is they who have put forward an iniquity and a falsehood.

قُلْ أَنزَلَهُ الَّذِى يَعْلَمُ السِّرَّ فِى السَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا[6]

وَقَالُوا۟ مَالِ هَٰذَا الرَّسُولِ يَأْكُلُ الطَّعَامَ وَيَمْشِى فِى الْأَسْوَاقِ ۙ لَوْلَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مَلَكٌ فَيَكُونَ مَعَهُۥ نَذِيرًا[7]

And they say: "What sort of a messenger is this, who eats food, and walks through the streets? Why has not an angel been sent down to him to give admonition with him?

أَوْ يُلْقَىٰٓ إِلَيْهِ كَنزٌ أَوْ تَكُونُ لَهُۥ جَنَّةٌ يَأْكُلُ مِنْهَا ۚ وَقَالَ الظَّٰلِمُونَ إِن تَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا رَجُلًا مَّسْحُورًا[8]

Ou que ne lui a-t-on lancé un trésor? Ou que n'a-t-il un jardin à lui, dont il pourrait manger (les fruits)?» Les injustes disent: «Vous ne suivez qu'un homme ensorcelé».

"Or (Why) has not a treasure been bestowed on him, or why has he (not) a garden for enjoyment?" The wicked say: "Ye follow none other than a man bewitched."

Blessed is He who, if that were His will, could give thee better (things) than those,- Gardens beneath which rivers flow; and He could give thee palaces (secure to dwell in).

Nay they deny the hour (of the judgment to come): but We have prepared a blazing fire for such as deny the hour:

Et quand on les y aura jetés, dans un étroit réduit, les mains liées derrière le cou, ils souhaiteront alors leur destruction complète.

And when they are cast, bound together into a constricted place therein, they will plead for destruction there and then!

The day He will gather them together as well as those whom they worship besides Allah, He will ask: "Was it ye who let these My servants astray, or did they stray from the Path themselves?"

They will say: "Glory to Thee! not meet was it for us that we should take for protectors others besides Thee: But Thou didst bestow, on them and their fathers, good things (in life), until they forgot the Message: for they were a people (worthless and) lost."

فَقَدْ كَذَّبُوكُم بِمَا تَقُولُونَ فَمَا تَسْتَطِيعُونَ صَرْفًا وَلَا نَصْرًا ۚ وَمَن يَظْلِم مِّنكُمْ نُذِقْهُ عَذَابًا كَبِيرًا[19]

Such as fear not the meeting with Us (for Judgment) say: "Why are not the angels sent down to us, or (why) do we not see our Lord?" Indeed they have an arrogant conceit of themselves, and mighty is the insolence of their impiety!

"He indeed would well-nigh have misled us from our gods, had it not been that we were constant to them!" - Soon will they know, when they see the Penalty, who it is that is most misled in Path!

أَرَءَيْتَ مَنِ اتَّخَذَ إِلَٰهَهُۥ هَوَىٰهُ أَفَأَنتَ تَكُونُ عَلَيْهِ وَكِيلًا[43]

Araayta mani ittakhatha ilahahu hawahu afaanta takoonu AAalayhi wakeelan

Ne vois-tu pas celui qui a fait de sa passion sa divinité? Est-ce à toi d'être un garant pour lui?

Seest thou such a one as taketh for his god his own passion (or impulse)? Couldst thou be a disposer of affairs for him?

أَمْ تَحْسَبُ أَنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ يَسْمَعُونَ أَوْ يَعْقِلُونَ ۚ إِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا كَالْأَنْعَٰمِ ۖ بَلْ هُمْ أَضَلُّ سَبِيلًا[44]

Am tahsabu anna aktharahum yasmaAAoona aw yaAAqiloona in hum illa kaalanAAami bal hum adallu sabeelan

Ou bien penses-tu que la plupart d'entre eux entendent ou comprennent? Ils ne sont en vérité comparables qu'à des bestiaux. Ou plutôt, ils sont plus égarés encore du sentier.

Or thinkest thou that most of them listen or understand? They are only like cattle;- nay, they are worse astray in Path.

أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَيْفَ مَدَّ الظِّلَّ وَلَوْ شَآءَ لَجَعَلَهُۥ سَاكِنًا ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَا الشَّمْسَ عَلَيْهِ دَلِيلًا[45]

Alam tara ila rabbika kayfa madda alththilla walaw shaa lajaAAalahu sakinan thumma jaAAalna alshshamsa AAalayhi daleelan

N'as-tu pas vu comment ton Seigneur étend l'ombre? S'Il avait voulu, certes, Il l'aurait faite immobile. Puis Nous lui fîmes du soleil son indice,

Hast thou not turned thy vision to thy Lord?- How He doth prolong the shadow! If He willed, He could make it stationary! then do We make the sun its guide;

ثُمَّ قَبَضْنَٰهُ إِلَيْنَا قَبْضًا يَسِيرًا[46]

Thumma qabadnahu ilayna qabdan yaseeran

puis Nous la saisissons [pour la ramener] vers Nous avec facilité.

Then We draw it in towards Ourselves,- a contraction by easy stages.

وَهُوَ الَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الَّيْلَ لِبَاسًا وَالنَّوْمَ سُبَاتًا وَجَعَلَ النَّهَارَ نُشُورًا[47]

Wahuwa allathee jaAAala lakumu allayla libasan waalnnawma subatan wajaAAala alnnahara nushooran

Et c'est Lui qui vous fit de la nuit un vêtement, du sommeil un repos et qui fit du jour un retour à la vie active.

And He it is Who makes the Night as a Robe for you, and Sleep as Repose, and makes the Day (as it were) a Resurrection.

وَهُوَ الَّذِىٓ أَرْسَلَ الرِّيَٰحَ بُشْرًۢا بَيْنَ يَدَىْ رَحْمَتِهِۦ ۚ وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ السَّمَآءِ مَآءً طَهُورًا[48]

Wahuwa allathee arsala alrriyaha bushran bayna yaday rahmatihi waanzalna mina alssamai maan tahooran

Et c'est Lui qui envoya les vents comme une annonce précédant Sa miséricorde. Nous fîmes descendre du ciel une eau pure et purifiante,

And He it is Who sends the winds as heralds of glad tidings, going before His mercy, and We send down pure water from the sky,-

لِّنُحْۦِىَ بِهِۦ بَلْدَةً مَّيْتًا وَنُسْقِيَهُۥ مِمَّا خَلَقْنَآ أَنْعَٰمًا وَأَنَاسِىَّ كَثِيرًا[49]

Linuhyiya bihi baldatan maytan wanusqiyahu mimma khalaqna anAAaman waanasiyya katheeran

pour faire revivre par elle une contrée morte, et donner à boire aux multiples bestiaux et hommes que Nous avons créés.

That with it We may give life to a dead land, and slake the thirst of things We have created,- cattle and men in great numbers.

وَلَقَدْ صَرَّفْنَٰهُ بَيْنَهُمْ لِيَذَّكَّرُوا۟ فَأَبَىٰٓ أَكْثَرُ النَّاسِ إِلَّا كُفُورًا[50]

Walaqad sarrafnahu baynahum liyaththakkaroo faaba aktharu alnnasi illa kufooran

Nous l'avions répartie entre eux afin qu'ils se rappellent (de Nous). Mais la plupart des gens se refusent à tout sauf à être ingrats.

And We have distributed the (water) amongst them, in order that they may celebrate (our) praises, but most men are averse (to aught) but (rank) ingratitude.

وَلَوْ شِئْنَا لَبَعَثْنَا فِى كُلِّ قَرْيَةٍ نَّذِيرًا[51]

Walaw shina labaAAathna fee kulli qaryatin natheeran

Or, si Nous avions voulu, Nous aurions certes envoyé dans chaque cité un avertisseur.

Had it been Our Will, We could have sent a warner to every centre of population.

فَلَا تُطِعِ الْكَٰفِرِينَ وَجَٰهِدْهُم بِهِۦ جِهَادًا كَبِيرًا[52]

Fala tutiAAi alkafireena wajahidhum bihi jihadan kabeeran

N'obéis donc pas aux infidèles; et avec ceci (le Coran), lutte contre eux vigoureusement.

Therefore listen not to the Unbelievers, but strive against them with the utmost strenuousness, with the (Qur'an).

۞ وَهُوَ الَّذِى مَرَجَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ هَٰذَا عَذْبٌ فُرَاتٌ وَهَٰذَا مِلْحٌ أُجَاجٌ وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَهُمَا بَرْزَخًا وَحِجْرًا مَّحْجُورًا[53]

Wahuwa allathee maraja albahrayni hatha AAathbun furatun wahatha milhun ojajun wajaAAala baynahuma barzakhan wahijran mahjooran

Et c'est Lui qui donne libre cours aux deux mers: l'une douce, rafraîchissante, l'autre salée, amère. Et Il assigne entre les deux une zone intermédiaire et un barrage infranchissable.

It is He Who has let free the two bodies of flowing water: One palatable and sweet, and the other salt and bitter; yet has He made a barrier between them, a partition that is forbidden to be passed.

وَهُوَ الَّذِى خَلَقَ مِنَ الْمَآءِ بَشَرًا فَجَعَلَهُۥ نَسَبًا وَصِهْرًا ۗ وَكَانَ رَبُّكَ قَدِيرًا[54]

Wahuwa allathee khalaqa mina almai basharan fajaAAalahu nasaban wasihran wakana rabbuka qadeeran

Et c'est Lui qui de l'eau a créé une espèce humaine qu'Il unit par les liens de la parenté et de l'alliance. Et ton Seigneur demeure Omnipotent.

It is He Who has created man from water: then has He established relationships of lineage and marriage: for thy Lord has power (over all things).

وَيَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ مَا لَا يَنفَعُهُمْ وَلَا يَضُرُّهُمْ ۗ وَكَانَ الْكَافِرُ عَلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ ظَهِيرًا[55]

WayaAAbudoona min dooni Allahi ma la yanfaAAuhum wala yadurruhum wakana alkafiru AAala rabbihi thaheeran

Mais ils adorent en dehors d'Allah, ce qui ne leur profite point, ni ne leur nuit! Et l'infidèle sera toujours l'allié des ennemis de son Seigneur!

Yet do they worship, besides Allah, things that can neither profit them nor harm them: and the Misbeliever is a helper (of Evil), against his own Lord!

وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَٰكَ إِلَّا مُبَشِّرًا وَنَذِيرًا[56]

Wama arsalnaka illa mubashshiran wanatheeran

Or, Nous ne t'avons envoyé que comme annonciateur et avertisseur.

But thee We only sent to give glad tidings and admonition.

قُلْ مَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ إِلَّا مَن شَآءَ أَن يَتَّخِذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ سَبِيلًا[57]

Qul ma asalukum AAalayhi min ajrin illa man shaa an yattakhitha ila rabbihi sabeelan

Dis: «Je ne vous en demande aucun salaire (pour moi même). Toutefois, celui qui veut suivre un chemin conduisant vers son Seigneur [est libre de dépenser dans la voie d'Allah]».

Say: "No reward do I ask of you for it but this: that each one who will may take a (straight) Path to his Lord."

وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى الْحَىِّ الَّذِى لَا يَمُوتُ وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِهِۦ ۚ وَكَفَىٰ بِهِۦ بِذُنُوبِ عِبَادِهِۦ خَبِيرًا[58]

Watawakkal AAala alhayyi allathee la yamootu wasabbih bihamdihi wakafa bihi bithunoobi AAibadihi khabeeran

Et place ta confiance en Le Vivant qui ne meurt jamais. Et par Sa louange, glorifie-Le. Il suffit comme Parfait Connaisseur des péchés de Ses serviteurs.

And put thy trust in Him Who lives and dies not; and celebrate his praise; and enough is He to be acquainted with the faults of His servants;-

الَّذِى خَلَقَ السَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا فِى سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ اسْتَوَىٰ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ ۚ الرَّحْمَٰنُ فَسْـَٔلْ بِهِۦ خَبِيرًا[59]

Allathee khalaqa alssamawati waalarda wama baynahuma fee sittati ayyamin thumma istawa AAala alAAarshi alrrahmanu faisal bihi khabeeran

C'est Lui qui, en six jours, a créé les cieux, la terre et tout ce qui existe entre eux, et le Tout Miséricordieux S'est établi «Istawâ» ensuite sur le Trône. Interroge donc qui est bien informé de Lui.

He Who created the heavens and the earth and all that is between, in six days, and is firmly established on the Throne (of Authority): Allah Most Gracious: ask thou, then, about Him of any acquainted (with such things).

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ اسْجُدُوا۟ لِلرَّحْمَٰنِ قَالُوا۟ وَمَا الرَّحْمَٰنُ أَنَسْجُدُ لِمَا تَأْمُرُنَا وَزَادَهُمْ نُفُورًا ۩[60]

Waitha qeela lahumu osjudoo lilrrahmani qaloo wama alrrahmanu anasjudu lima tamuruna wazadahum nufooran

Et quand on leur dit: «Prosternez-vous devant le Tout Miséricordieux», ils disent: «Qu'est-ce donc que le Tout Miséricordieux? Allons-nous nous prosterner devant ce que tu nous commandes?» - Et cela accroît leur répulsion.

When it is said to them, "Prostrate to (Allah) Most Gracious!", they say, "And what is (Allah) Most Gracious? Shall we prostrate to that which thou commandest us?" And it increases their flight (from the Truth).

تَبَارَكَ الَّذِى جَعَلَ فِى السَّمَآءِ بُرُوجًا وَجَعَلَ فِيهَا سِرَٰجًا وَقَمَرًا مُّنِيرًا[61]

Tabaraka allathee jaAAala fee alssamai buroojan wajaAAala feeha sirajan waqamaran muneeran

Que soit béni Celui qui a placé au ciel des constellations et y a placé un luminaire (le soleil) et aussi une lune éclairante!

Blessed is He Who made constellations in the skies, and placed therein a Lamp and a Moon giving light;

وَهُوَ الَّذِى جَعَلَ الَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ خِلْفَةً لِّمَنْ أَرَادَ أَن يَذَّكَّرَ أَوْ أَرَادَ شُكُورًا[62]

Wahuwa allathee jaAAala allayla waalnnahara khilfatan liman arada an yaththakkara aw arada shukooran

Et c'est Lui qui a assigné une alternance à la nuit et au jour pour quiconque veut y réfléchir ou montrer sa reconnaissance.

And it is He Who made the Night and the Day to follow each other: for such as have the will to celebrate His praises or to show their gratitude.

وَعِبَادُ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الَّذِينَ يَمْشُونَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ هَوْنًا وَإِذَا خَاطَبَهُمُ الْجَٰهِلُونَ قَالُوا۟ سَلَٰمًا[63]

WaAAibadu alrrahmani allatheena yamshoona AAala alardi hawnan waitha khatabahumu aljahiloona qaloo salaman

Les serviteurs du Tout Miséricordieux sont ceux qui marchent humblement sur terre, qui, lorsque les ignorants s'adressent à eux, disent: «Paix»,

And the servants of (Allah) Most Gracious are those who walk on the earth in humility, and when the ignorant address them, they say, "Peace!";

وَالَّذِينَ يَبِيتُونَ لِرَبِّهِمْ سُجَّدًا وَقِيَٰمًا[64]

Waallatheena yabeetoona lirabbihim sujjadan waqiyaman

qui passent les nuits prosternés et debout devant leur Seigneur;

Those who spend the night in adoration of their Lord prostrate and standing;

وَالَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا اصْرِفْ عَنَّا عَذَابَ جَهَنَّمَ ۖ إِنَّ عَذَابَهَا كَانَ غَرَامًا[65]

Waallatheena yaqooloona rabbana isrif AAanna AAathaba jahannama inna AAathabaha kana gharaman

qui disent: «Seigneur, écarte de nous le châtiment de l'Enfer». - car son châtiment est permanent.

Those who say, "Our Lord! avert from us the Wrath of Hell, for its Wrath is indeed an affliction grievous,-

إِنَّهَا سَآءَتْ مُسْتَقَرًّا وَمُقَامًا[66]

Innaha saat mustaqarran wamuqaman

Quels mauvais gîte et lieu de séjour!

"Evil indeed is it as an abode, and as a place to rest in";

وَالَّذِينَ إِذَآ أَنفَقُوا۟ لَمْ يُسْرِفُوا۟ وَلَمْ يَقْتُرُوا۟ وَكَانَ بَيْنَ ذَٰلِكَ قَوَامًا[67]

Waallatheena itha anfaqoo lam yusrifoo walam yaqturoo wakana bayna thalika qawaman

Qui, lorsqu'ils dépensent, ne sont ni prodigues ni avares mais se tiennent au juste milieu.

Those who, when they spend, are not extravagant and not niggardly, but hold a just (balance) between those (extremes);

وَالَّذِينَ لَا يَدْعُونَ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ وَلَا يَقْتُلُونَ النَّفْسَ الَّتِى حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَلَا يَزْنُونَ ۚ وَمَن يَفْعَلْ ذَٰلِكَ يَلْقَ أَثَامًا[68]

Waallatheena la yadAAoona maAAa Allahi ilahan akhara wala yaqtuloona alnnafsa allatee harrama Allahu illa bialhaqqi wala yaznoona waman yafAAal thalika yalqa athaman

Qui n'invoquent pas d'autre dieu avec Allah et ne tuent pas la vie qu'Allah a rendue sacrée, sauf à bon droit; qui ne commettent pas de fornication - car quiconque fait cela encourra une punition

Those who invoke not, with Allah, any other god, nor slay such life as Allah has made sacred except for just cause, nor commit fornication; - and any that does this (not only) meets punishment.

يُضَٰعَفْ لَهُ الْعَذَابُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَٰمَةِ وَيَخْلُدْ فِيهِۦ مُهَانًا[69]

YudaAAaf lahu alAAathabu yawma alqiyamati wayakhlud feehi muhanan

et le châtiment lui sera doublé, au Jour de la Résurrection, et il y demeurera éternellement couvert d'ignominie;

(But) the Penalty on the Day of Judgment will be doubled to him, and he will dwell therein in ignominy,-

إِلَّا مَن تَابَ وَءَامَنَ وَعَمِلَ عَمَلًا صَٰلِحًا فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ يُبَدِّلُ اللَّهُ سَيِّـَٔاتِهِمْ حَسَنَٰتٍ ۗ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا[70]

Illa man taba waamana waAAamila AAamalan salihan faolaika yubaddilu Allahu sayyiatihim hasanatin wakana Allahu ghafooran raheeman

sauf celui qui se repent, croit et accomplit une bonne œuvre; ceux-là Allah changera leurs mauvaises actions en bonnes, et Allah est Pardonneur et Miséricordieux;

Unless he repents, believes, and works righteous deeds, for Allah will change the evil of such persons into good, and Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful,

وَمَن تَابَ وَعَمِلَ صَٰلِحًا فَإِنَّهُۥ يَتُوبُ إِلَى اللَّهِ مَتَابًا[71]

Waman taba waAAamila salihan fainnahu yatoobu ila Allahi mataban

et quiconque se repent et accomplit une bonne œuvre c'est vers Allah qu'aboutira son retour.

And whoever repents and does good has truly turned to Allah with an (acceptable) conversion;-

وَالَّذِينَ لَا يَشْهَدُونَ الزُّورَ وَإِذَا مَرُّوا۟ بِاللَّغْوِ مَرُّوا۟ كِرَامًا[72]

Waallatheena la yashhadoona alzzoora waitha marroo biallaghwi marroo kiraman

Ceux qui ne donnent pas de faux témoignages; et qui, lorsqu'ils passent auprès d'une frivolité, s'en écartent noblement;

Those who witness no falsehood, and, if they pass by futility, they pass by it with honourable (avoidance);

وَالَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِّرُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ لَمْ يَخِرُّوا۟ عَلَيْهَا صُمًّا وَعُمْيَانًا[73]

qui lorsque les versets de leur Seigneur leur sont rappelés, ne deviennent ni sourds ni aveugles;

Those who, when they are admonished with the Signs of their Lord, droop not down at them as if they were deaf or blind;

وَالَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا هَبْ لَنَا مِنْ أَزْوَٰجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّٰتِنَا قُرَّةَ أَعْيُنٍ وَاجْعَلْنَا لِلْمُتَّقِينَ إِمَامًا[74]

And those who pray, "Our Lord! Grant unto us wives and offspring who will be the comfort of our eyes, and give us (the grace) to lead the righteous."

أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ يُجْزَوْنَ الْغُرْفَةَ بِمَا صَبَرُوا۟ وَيُلَقَّوْنَ فِيهَا تَحِيَّةً وَسَلَٰمًا[75]

Ceux-là auront pour récompense un lieu élevé [du Paradis] à cause de leur endurance, et ils y seront accueillis avec le salut et la paix,

Those are the ones who will be rewarded with the highest place in heaven, because of their patient constancy: therein shall they be met with salutations and peace,

Dis: «Mon Seigneur ne se souciera pas de vous sans votre prière; mais vous avez, démenti (le Prophète). Votre [châtiment] sera inévitable et permanent.

Say (to the Rejecters): "My Lord is not uneasy because of you if ye call not on Him: But ye have indeed rejected (Him), and soon will come the inevitable (punishment)!"
