بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ تَنزِيلُ الْكِتَٰبِ مِنَ اللَّهِ الْعَزِيزِ الْحَكِيمِ[1]

Tanzeelu alkitabi mina Allahi alAAazeezi alhakeemi

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

The revelation of this Book is from Allah, the Exalted in Power, full of Wisdom.


إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَآ إِلَيْكَ الْكِتَٰبَ بِالْحَقِّ فَاعْبُدِ اللَّهَ مُخْلِصًا لَّهُ الدِّينَ[2]

Inna anzalna ilayka alkitaba bialhaqqi faoAAbudi Allaha mukhlisan lahu alddeena

Nous t'avons fait descendre le Livre en toute vérité. Adore donc Allah en Lui vouant un culte exclusif.

Verily it is We Who have revealed the Book to thee in Truth: so serve Allah, offering Him sincere devotion.


أَلَا لِلَّهِ الدِّينُ الْخَالِصُ ۚ وَالَّذِينَ اتَّخَذُوا۟ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ أَوْلِيَآءَ مَا نَعْبُدُهُمْ إِلَّا لِيُقَرِّبُونَآ إِلَى اللَّهِ زُلْفَىٰٓ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَحْكُمُ بَيْنَهُمْ فِى مَا هُمْ فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِى مَنْ هُوَ كَٰذِبٌ كَفَّارٌ[3]

Ala lillahi alddeenu alkhalisu waallatheena ittakhathoo min doonihi awliyaa ma naAAbuduhum illa liyuqarriboona ila Allahi zulfa inna Allaha yahkumu baynahum fee ma hum feehi yakhtalifoona inna Allaha la yahdee man huwa kathibun kaffarun

C'est à Allah qu'appartient la religion pure. Tandis que ceux qui prennent des protecteurs en dehors de Lui (disent): «Nous ne les adorons que pour qu'ils nous rapprochent davantage d'Allah». En vérité, Allah jugera parmi eux sur ce en quoi ils divergent. Allah ne guide pas celui qui est menteur et grand ingrat.

Is it not to Allah that sincere devotion is due? But those who take for protectors other than Allah (say): "We only serve them in order that they may bring us nearer to Allah." Truly Allah will judge between them in that wherein they differ. But Allah guides not such as are false and ungrateful.


لَّوْ أَرَادَ اللَّهُ أَن يَتَّخِذَ وَلَدًا لَّاصْطَفَىٰ مِمَّا يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَآءُ ۚ سُبْحَٰنَهُۥ ۖ هُوَ اللَّهُ الْوَٰحِدُ الْقَهَّارُ[4]

Law arada Allahu an yattakhitha waladan laistafa mimma yakhluqu ma yashao subhanahu huwa Allahu alwahidu alqahharu

Si Allah avait voulu S'attribuer un enfant, Il aurait certes choisi ce qu'Il eût voulu parmi ce qu'Il crée. Gloire à Lui! C'est Lui Allah, l'Unique, le Dominateur suprême.

Had Allah wished to take to Himself a son, He could have chosen whom He pleased out of those whom He doth create: but Glory be to Him! (He is above such things.) He is Allah, the One, the Irresistible.


خَلَقَ السَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَالْأَرْضَ بِالْحَقِّ ۖ يُكَوِّرُ الَّيْلَ عَلَى النَّهَارِ وَيُكَوِّرُ النَّهَارَ عَلَى الَّيْلِ ۖ وَسَخَّرَ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ ۖ كُلٌّ يَجْرِى لِأَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ۗ أَلَا هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْغَفَّٰرُ[5]

Khalaqa alssamawati waalarda bialhaqqi yukawwiru allayla AAala alnnahari wayukawwiru alnnahara AAala allayli wasakhkhara alshshamsa waalqamara kullun yajree liajalin musamman ala huwa alAAazeezu alghaffaru

Il a créé les cieux et la terre en toute vérité. Il enroule la nuit sur le jour et enroule le jour sur la nuit, et Il a assujetti le soleil et la lune à poursuivre chacun sa course pour un terme fixé. C'est bien Lui le Puissant, le Grand Pardonneur!

He created the heavens and the earth in true (proportions): He makes the Night overlap the Day, and the Day overlap the Night: He has subjected the sun and the moon (to His law): Each one follows a course for a time appointed. Is not He the Exalted in Power - He Who forgives again and again?


خَلَقَكُم مِّن نَّفْسٍ وَٰحِدَةٍ ثُمَّ جَعَلَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا وَأَنزَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ الْأَنْعَٰمِ ثَمَٰنِيَةَ أَزْوَٰجٍ ۚ يَخْلُقُكُمْ فِى بُطُونِ أُمَّهَٰتِكُمْ خَلْقًا مِّنۢ بَعْدِ خَلْقٍ فِى ظُلُمَٰتٍ ثَلَٰثٍ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمُ اللَّهُ رَبُّكُمْ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ ۖ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۖ فَأَنَّىٰ تُصْرَفُونَ[6]

Khalaqakum min nafsin wahidatin thumma jaAAala minha zawjaha waanzala lakum mina alanAAami thamaniyata azwajin yakhluqukum fee butooni ommahatikum khalqan min baAAdi khalqin fee thulumatin thalathin thalikumu Allahu rabbukum lahu almulku la ilaha illa huwa faanna tusrafoona

Il vous a créés d'une personne unique et a tiré d'elle son épouse. Et Il a fait descendre [créé] pour vous huit couples de bestiaux. Il vous crée dans les ventres de vos mères, création après création, dans trois ténèbres. Tel est Allah, votre Seigneur! A Lui appartient toute la Royauté. Point de divinité à part Lui. Comment pouvez-vous vous détourner [de son culte]?

He created you (all) from a single person: then created, of like nature, his mate; and he sent down for you eight head of cattle in pairs: He makes you, in the wombs of your mothers, in stages, one after another, in three veils of darkness. such is Allah, your Lord and Cherisher: to Him belongs (all) dominion. There is no god but He: then how are ye turned away (from your true Centre)?


إِن تَكْفُرُوا۟ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ غَنِىٌّ عَنكُمْ ۖ وَلَا يَرْضَىٰ لِعِبَادِهِ الْكُفْرَ ۖ وَإِن تَشْكُرُوا۟ يَرْضَهُ لَكُمْ ۗ وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَىٰ ۗ ثُمَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكُم مَّرْجِعُكُمْ فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ عَلِيمٌۢ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُورِ[7]

In takfuroo fainna Allaha ghaniyyun AAankum wala yarda liAAibadihi alkufra wain tashkuroo yardahu lakum wala taziru waziratun wizra okhra thumma ila rabbikum marjiAAukum fayunabbiokum bima kuntum taAAmaloona innahu AAaleemun bithati alssudoori

Si vous ne croyez pas, Allah se passe largement de vous. De Ses serviteurs cependant, Il n'agrée pas la mécréance. Et si vous êtes reconnaissants, Il l'agrée pour vous. Nul pécheur ne portera les péchés d'autrui. Ensuite, vers votre Seigneur sera votre retour: Il vous informera alors de ce que vous faisiez car Il connaît parfaitement le contenu des poitrines.

If ye reject (Allah), Truly Allah hath no need of you; but He liketh not ingratitude from His servants: if ye are grateful, He is pleased with you. No bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another. In the end, to your Lord is your Return, when He will tell you the truth of all that ye did (in this life). for He knoweth well all that is in (men's) hearts.


۞ وَإِذَا مَسَّ الْإِنسَٰنَ ضُرٌّ دَعَا رَبَّهُۥ مُنِيبًا إِلَيْهِ ثُمَّ إِذَا خَوَّلَهُۥ نِعْمَةً مِّنْهُ نَسِىَ مَا كَانَ يَدْعُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِ مِن قَبْلُ وَجَعَلَ لِلَّهِ أَندَادًا لِّيُضِلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦ ۚ قُلْ تَمَتَّعْ بِكُفْرِكَ قَلِيلًا ۖ إِنَّكَ مِنْ أَصْحَٰبِ النَّارِ[8]

Waitha massa alinsana durrun daAAa rabbahu muneeban ilayhi thumma itha khawwalahu niAAmatan minhu nasiya ma kana yadAAoo ilayhi min qablu wajaAAala lillahi andadan liyudilla AAan sabeelihi qul tamattaAA bikufrika qaleelan innaka min ashabi alnnari

Et quand un malheur touche l'homme, il appelle son Seigneur en se tournant vers Lui. Puis quand Il lui accorde de Sa part un bienfait, il oublie la raison pour laquelle il faisait appel, et il assigne à Allah des égaux, afin d'égarer (les gens) de son chemin. Dis «Jouis de ta mécréance un court moment. Tu fais partie des gens du Feu».

When some trouble toucheth man, he crieth unto his Lord, turning to Him in repentance: but when He bestoweth a favour upon him as from Himself, (man) doth forget what he cried and prayed for before, and he doth set up rivals unto Allah, thus misleading others from Allah's Path. Say, "Enjoy thy blasphemy for a little while: verily thou art (one) of the Companions of the Fire!"


أَمَّنْ هُوَ قَٰنِتٌ ءَانَآءَ الَّيْلِ سَاجِدًا وَقَآئِمًا يَحْذَرُ الْءَاخِرَةَ وَيَرْجُوا۟ رَحْمَةَ رَبِّهِۦ ۗ قُلْ هَلْ يَسْتَوِى الَّذِينَ يَعْلَمُونَ وَالَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ۗ إِنَّمَا يَتَذَكَّرُ أُو۟لُوا۟ الْأَلْبَٰبِ[9]

Amman huwa qanitun anaa allayli sajidan waqaiman yahtharu alakhirata wayarjoo rahmata rabbihi qul hal yastawee allatheena yaAAlamoona waallatheena la yaAAlamoona innama yatathakkaru oloo alalbabi

Est-ce que celui qui, aux heures de la nuit, reste en dévotion, prosterné et debout, prenant garde à l'au-delà et espérant la miséricorde de son Seigneur... Dis: «Sont-ils égaux, ceux qui savent et ceux qui ne savent pas?» Seuls les doués d'intelligence se rappellent.

Is one who worships devoutly during the hour of the night prostrating himself or standing (in adoration), who takes heed of the Hereafter, and who places his hope in the Mercy of his Lord - (like one who does not)? Say: "Are those equal, those who know and those who do not know? It is those who are endued with understanding that receive admonition.


قُلْ يَٰعِبَادِ الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ اتَّقُوا۟ رَبَّكُمْ ۚ لِلَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا۟ فِى هَٰذِهِ الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةٌ ۗ وَأَرْضُ اللَّهِ وَٰسِعَةٌ ۗ إِنَّمَا يُوَفَّى الصَّٰبِرُونَ أَجْرَهُم بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ[10]

Qul ya AAibadi allatheena amanoo ittaqoo rabbakum lillatheena ahsanoo fee hathihi alddunya hasanatun waardu Allahi wasiAAatun innama yuwaffa alssabiroona ajrahum bighayri hisabin

Dis: «O Mes serviteurs qui avez cru! Craignez votre Seigneur». Ceux qui ici-bas font le bien, auront une bonne [récompense]. La terre d'Allah est vaste et les endurants auront leur pleine récompense sans compter.

Say: "O ye my servants who believe! Fear your Lord, good is (the reward) for those who do good in this world. Spacious is Allah's earth! those who patiently persevere will truly receive a reward without measure!"


قُلْ إِنِّىٓ أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَعْبُدَ اللَّهَ مُخْلِصًا لَّهُ الدِّينَ[11]

Qul innee omirtu an aAAbuda Allaha mukhlisan lahu alddeena

Dis: «Il m'a été ordonné d'adorer Allah en Lui vouant exclusivement le culte,

Say: "Verily, I am commanded to serve Allah with sincere devotion;


وَأُمِرْتُ لِأَنْ أَكُونَ أَوَّلَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ[12]

Waomirtu lian akoona awwala almuslimeena

et il m'a été ordonné d'être le premier des Musulmans.

"And I am commanded to be the first of those who bow to Allah in Islam."


قُلْ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ إِنْ عَصَيْتُ رَبِّى عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ[13]

Qul innee akhafu in AAasaytu rabbee AAathaba yawmin AAatheemin

Dis: «Je crains, si je désobéis à mon Seigneur, le châtiment d'un jour terrible».

Say: "I would, if I disobeyed my Lord, indeed have fear of the Penalty of a Mighty Day."


قُلِ اللَّهَ أَعْبُدُ مُخْلِصًا لَّهُۥ دِينِى[14]

Quli Allaha aAAbudu mukhlisan lahu deenee

Dis: «C'est Allah que j'adore, et Lui voue exclusivement mon culte.

Say: "It is Allah I serve, with my sincere (and exclusive) devotion:


فَاعْبُدُوا۟ مَا شِئْتُم مِّن دُونِهِۦ ۗ قُلْ إِنَّ الْخَٰسِرِينَ الَّذِينَ خَسِرُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَأَهْلِيهِمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَٰمَةِ ۗ أَلَا ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ الْخُسْرَانُ الْمُبِينُ[15]

FaoAAbudoo ma shitum min doonihi qul inna alkhasireena allatheena khasiroo anfusahum waahleehim yawma alqiyamati ala thalika huwa alkhusranu almubeenu

Adorez donc, en dehors de Lui, qui vous voudrez!» - Dis: «Les perdants sont ceux qui, au Jour de la Résurrection, auront causé la perte de leurs propres âmes et celles de leurs familles». C'est bien cela la perte évidente.

"Serve ye what ye will besides him." Say: "Truly, those in loss are those who lose their own souls and their People on the Day of Judgment: Ah! that is indeed the (real and) evident Loss!


لَهُم مِّن فَوْقِهِمْ ظُلَلٌ مِّنَ النَّارِ وَمِن تَحْتِهِمْ ظُلَلٌ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ يُخَوِّفُ اللَّهُ بِهِۦ عِبَادَهُۥ ۚ يَٰعِبَادِ فَاتَّقُونِ[16]

Lahum min fawqihim thulalun mina alnnari wamin tahtihim thulalun thalika yukhawwifu Allahu bihi AAibadahu ya AAibadi faittaqooni

Au-dessus d'eux ils auront des couches de feu et des couches au-dessous d'eux. Voilà ce dont Allah menace Ses esclaves. «O Mes esclaves, craignez-Moi donc!»

They shall have Layers of Fire above them, and Layers (of Fire) below them: with this doth Allah warn off his servants: "O My Servants! then fear ye Me!"


وَالَّذِينَ اجْتَنَبُوا۟ الطَّٰغُوتَ أَن يَعْبُدُوهَا وَأَنَابُوٓا۟ إِلَى اللَّهِ لَهُمُ الْبُشْرَىٰ ۚ فَبَشِّرْ عِبَادِ[17]

Waallatheena ijtanaboo alttaghoota an yaAAbudooha waanaboo ila Allahi lahumu albushra fabashshir AAibadi

Et à ceux qui s'écartent des Taghût pour ne pas les adorer, tandis qu'ils reviennent à Allah, à eux la bonne nouvelle! Annonce la bonne nouvelle à Mes serviteurs

Those who eschew Evil,- and fall not into its worship,- and turn to Allah (in repentance),- for them is Good News: so announce the Good News to My Servants,-


الَّذِينَ يَسْتَمِعُونَ الْقَوْلَ فَيَتَّبِعُونَ أَحْسَنَهُۥٓ ۚ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ الَّذِينَ هَدَىٰهُمُ اللَّهُ ۖ وَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمْ أُو۟لُوا۟ الْأَلْبَٰبِ[18]

Allatheena yastamiAAoona alqawla fayattabiAAoona ahsanahu olaika allatheena hadahumu Allahu waolaika hum oloo alalbabi

qui prêtent l'oreille à la Parole, puis suivent ce qu'elle contient de meilleur. Ce sont ceux-là qu'Allah a guidés et ce sont eux les doués d'intelligence!

Those who listen to the Word, and follow the best (meaning) in it: those are the ones whom Allah has guided, and those are the ones endued with understanding.


أَفَمَنْ حَقَّ عَلَيْهِ كَلِمَةُ الْعَذَابِ أَفَأَنتَ تُنقِذُ مَن فِى النَّارِ[19]

Afaman haqqa AAalayhi kalimatu alAAathabi afaanta tunqithu man fee alnnari

Et bien quoi! Celui contre qui s'avère le décret du châtiment,... est-ce que tu sauves celui qui est dans le Feu?

Is, then, one against whom the decree of Punishment is justly due (equal to one who eschews Evil)? Wouldst thou, then, deliver one (who is) in the Fire?


لَٰكِنِ الَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْا۟ رَبَّهُمْ لَهُمْ غُرَفٌ مِّن فَوْقِهَا غُرَفٌ مَّبْنِيَّةٌ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَٰرُ ۖ وَعْدَ اللَّهِ ۖ لَا يُخْلِفُ اللَّهُ الْمِيعَادَ[20]

Lakini allatheena ittaqaw rabbahum lahum ghurafun min fawqiha ghurafun mabniyyatun tajree min tahtiha alanharu waAAda Allahi la yukhlifu Allahu almeeAAada

Mais ceux qui auront craint leur Seigneur auront [pour demeure] des étages [au Paradis] au-dessus desquels d'autres étages sont construits et sous lesquels coulent les rivières. Promesse d'Allah! Allah ne manque pas à Sa promesse.

But it is for those who fear their Lord. That lofty mansions, one above another, have been built: beneath them flow rivers (of delight): (such is) the Promise of Allah: never doth Allah fail in (His) promise.


أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ أَنزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَسَلَكَهُۥ يَنَٰبِيعَ فِى الْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ يُخْرِجُ بِهِۦ زَرْعًا مُّخْتَلِفًا أَلْوَٰنُهُۥ ثُمَّ يَهِيجُ فَتَرَىٰهُ مُصْفَرًّا ثُمَّ يَجْعَلُهُۥ حُطَٰمًا ۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَذِكْرَىٰ لِأُو۟لِى الْأَلْبَٰبِ[21]

Alam tara anna Allaha anzala mina alssamai maan fasalakahu yanabeeAAa fee alardi thumma yukhriju bihi zarAAan mukhtalifan alwanuhu thumma yaheeju fatarahu musfarran thumma yajAAaluhu hutaman inna fee thalika lathikra liolee alalbabi

Ne vois-tu pas qu'Allah fait descendre du ciel de l'eau, puis Il l'achemine vers des sources dans la terre; ensuite avec cela, Il fait sortir une culture aux couleurs diverses, laquelle se fane ensuite, de sorte que tu la vois jaunie; ensuite, Il la réduit en miettes. C'est là certainement un rappel aux [gens] doués d'intelligence.

Seest thou not that Allah sends down rain from the sky, and leads it through springs in the earth? Then He causes to grow, therewith, produce of various colours: then it withers; thou wilt see it grow yellow; then He makes it dry up and crumble away. Truly, in this, is a Message of remembrance to men of understanding.


أَفَمَن شَرَحَ اللَّهُ صَدْرَهُۥ لِلْإِسْلَٰمِ فَهُوَ عَلَىٰ نُورٍ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦ ۚ فَوَيْلٌ لِّلْقَٰسِيَةِ قُلُوبُهُم مِّن ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ ۚ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ فِى ضَلَٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ[22]

Afaman sharaha Allahu sadrahu lilislami fahuwa AAala noorin min rabbihi fawaylun lilqasiyati quloobuhum min thikri Allahi olaika fee dalalin mubeenin

Est-ce que celui dont Allah ouvre la poitrine à l'Islam et qui détient ainsi une lumière venant de Son Seigneur... Malheur donc à ceux dont les cœurs sont endurcis contre le rappel d'Allah. Ceux-là sont dans un égarement évident.

Is one whose heart Allah has opened to Islam, so that he has received Enlightenment from Allah, (no better than one hard-hearted)? Woe to those whose hearts are hardened against celebrating the praises of Allah! they are manifestly wandering (in error)!


اللَّهُ نَزَّلَ أَحْسَنَ الْحَدِيثِ كِتَٰبًا مُّتَشَٰبِهًا مَّثَانِىَ تَقْشَعِرُّ مِنْهُ جُلُودُ الَّذِينَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ ثُمَّ تَلِينُ جُلُودُهُمْ وَقُلُوبُهُمْ إِلَىٰ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُدَى اللَّهِ يَهْدِى بِهِۦ مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَمَن يُضْلِلِ اللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُۥ مِنْ هَادٍ[23]

Allahu nazzala ahsana alhadeethi kitaban mutashabihan mathaniya taqshaAAirru minhu juloodu allatheena yakhshawna rabbahum thumma taleenu julooduhum waquloobuhum ila thikri Allahi thalika huda Allahi yahdee bihi man yashao waman yudlili Allahu fama lahu min hadin

Allah a fait descendre le plus beau des récits, un Livre dont [certains versets] se ressemblent et se répètent. Les peaux de ceux qui redoutent leur Seigneur frissonnent (à l'entendre); puis leurs peaux et leurs cœurs s'apaisent au rappel d'Allah. Voilà le [Livre] guide d'Allah par lequel Il guide qui Il veut. Mais quiconque Allah égare n'a point de guide.

Allah has revealed (from time to time) the most beautiful Message in the form of a Book, consistent with itself, (yet) repeating (its teaching in various aspects): the skins of those who fear their Lord tremble thereat; then their skins and their hearts do soften to the celebration of Allah's praises. Such is the guidance of Allah: He guides therewith whom He pleases, but such as Allah leaves to stray, can have none to guide.


أَفَمَن يَتَّقِى بِوَجْهِهِۦ سُوٓءَ الْعَذَابِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَٰمَةِ ۚ وَقِيلَ لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ ذُوقُوا۟ مَا كُنتُمْ تَكْسِبُونَ[24]

Afaman yattaqee biwajhihi sooa alAAathabi yawma alqiyamati waqeela lilththalimeena thooqoo ma kuntum taksiboona

Est-ce que celui qui, au Jour de la Résurrection, se sera protégé le visage contre le pire châtiment... Et l'on dira aux injustes: «Goûtez à ce que vous avez acquis».

Is, then, one who has to fear the brunt of the Penalty on the Day of Judgment (and receive it) on his face, (like one guarded therefrom)? It will be said to the wrong-doers: "Taste ye (the fruits of) what ye earned!"


كَذَّبَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ فَأَتَىٰهُمُ الْعَذَابُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ[25]

Kaththaba allatheena min qablihim faatahumu alAAathabu min haythu la yashAAuroona

Ceux qui ont vécu avant eux ont démenti (les Messagers), le châtiment leur est venu par où ils ne le pressentaient pas.

Those before them (also) rejected (revelation), and so the Punishment came to them from directions they did not perceive.


فَأَذَاقَهُمُ اللَّهُ الْخِزْىَ فِى الْحَيَوٰةِ الدُّنْيَا ۖ وَلَعَذَابُ الْءَاخِرَةِ أَكْبَرُ ۚ لَوْ كَانُوا۟ يَعْلَمُونَ[26]

Faathaqahumu Allahu alkhizya fee alhayati alddunya walaAAathabu alakhirati akbaru law kanoo yaAAlamoona

Allah leur a fait goûter l'ignominie dans la vie présente. Le châtiment de l'au-delà, cependant, est plus grand, si seulement ils savaient!

So Allah gave them a taste of humiliation in the present life, but greater is the punishment of the Hereafter, if they only knew!


وَلَقَدْ ضَرَبْنَا لِلنَّاسِ فِى هَٰذَا الْقُرْءَانِ مِن كُلِّ مَثَلٍ لَّعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ[27]

Walaqad darabna lilnnasi fee hatha alqurani min kulli mathalin laAAallahum yatathakkaroona

Nous avons, dans ce Coran, cité pour les gens des exemples de toutes sortes afin qu'ils se souviennent.

We have put forth for men, in this Qur'an every kind of Parable, in order that they may receive admonition.


قُرْءَانًا عَرَبِيًّا غَيْرَ ذِى عِوَجٍ لَّعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ[28]

Quranan AAarabiyyan ghayra thee AAiwajin laAAallahum yattaqoona

Un Coran [en langue] arabe, dénué de tortuosité, afin qu'ils soient pieux!

(It is) a Qur'an in Arabic, without any crookedness (therein): in order that they may guard against Evil.


ضَرَبَ اللَّهُ مَثَلًا رَّجُلًا فِيهِ شُرَكَآءُ مُتَشَٰكِسُونَ وَرَجُلًا سَلَمًا لِّرَجُلٍ هَلْ يَسْتَوِيَانِ مَثَلًا ۚ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ۚ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ[29]

Daraba Allahu mathalan rajulan feehi shurakao mutashakisoona warajulan salaman lirajulin hal yastawiyani mathalan alhamdu lillahi bal aktharuhum la yaAAlamoona

Allah a cité comme parabole un homme appartenant à des associés se querellant à son sujet et un [autre] homme appartenant à un seul homme: sont-ils égaux en exemple? Louanges à Allah! Mais la plupart d'entre eux ne savent pas.

Allah puts forth a Parable a man belonging to many partners at variance with each other, and a man belonging entirely to one master: are those two equal in comparison? Praise be to Allah! but most of them have no knowledge.


إِنَّكَ مَيِّتٌ وَإِنَّهُم مَّيِّتُونَ[30]

Innaka mayyitun wainnahum mayyitoona

En vérité tu mourras et ils mourront eux aussi;

Truly thou wilt die (one day), and truly they (too) will die (one day).


ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَٰمَةِ عِندَ رَبِّكُمْ تَخْتَصِمُونَ[31]

Thumma innakum yawma alqiyamati AAinda rabbikum takhtasimoona

ensuite, au Jour de la Résurrection, vous vous disputerez auprès de votre Seigneur.

In the end will ye (all), on the Day of Judgment, settle your disputes in the presence of your Lord.


۞ فَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّن كَذَبَ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَكَذَّبَ بِالصِّدْقِ إِذْ جَآءَهُۥٓ ۚ أَلَيْسَ فِى جَهَنَّمَ مَثْوًى لِّلْكَٰفِرِينَ[32]

Faman athlamu mimman kathaba AAala Allahi wakaththaba bialssidqi ith jaahu alaysa fee jahannama mathwan lilkafireena

Quel pire injuste donc, que celui qui ment contre Allah et qui traite de mensonge la vérité quand elle lui vient? N'est-ce pas dans l'Enfer qu'il y a un refuge pour les mécréants?

Who, then, doth more wrong than one who utters a lie concerning Allah, and rejects the Truth when it comes to him; is there not in Hell an abode for blasphemers?


وَالَّذِى جَآءَ بِالصِّدْقِ وَصَدَّقَ بِهِۦٓ ۙ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ الْمُتَّقُونَ[33]

Waallathee jaa bialssidqi wasaddaqa bihi olaika humu almuttaqoona

Tandis que celui qui vient avec la vérité et celui qui la confirme, ceux-là sont les pieux.

And he who brings the Truth and he who confirms (and supports) it - such are the men who do right.


لَهُم مَّا يَشَآءُونَ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ جَزَآءُ الْمُحْسِنِينَ[34]

Lahum ma yashaoona AAinda rabbihim thalika jazao almuhsineena

Ils auront tout ce qu'ils désireront auprès de leur Seigneur; voilà la récompense des bienfaisants,

They shall have all that they wish for, in the presence of their Lord: such is the reward of those who do good:


لِيُكَفِّرَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ أَسْوَأَ الَّذِى عَمِلُوا۟ وَيَجْزِيَهُمْ أَجْرَهُم بِأَحْسَنِ الَّذِى كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ[35]

Liyukaffira Allahu AAanhum aswaa allathee AAamiloo wayajziyahum ajrahum biahsani allathee kanoo yaAAmaloona

afin qu'Allah leur efface les pires de leurs actions et les récompense selon ce qu'ils auront fait de meilleur.

So that Allah will turn off from them (even) the worst in their deeds and give them their reward according to the best of what they have done.


أَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ بِكَافٍ عَبْدَهُۥ ۖ وَيُخَوِّفُونَكَ بِالَّذِينَ مِن دُونِهِۦ ۚ وَمَن يُضْلِلِ اللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُۥ مِنْ هَادٍ[36]

Alaysa Allahu bikafin AAabdahu wayukhawwifoonaka biallatheena min doonihi waman yudlili Allahu fama lahu min hadin

Allah ne suffit-Il pas à Son esclave [comme soutien]? Et ils te font peur avec ce qui est en dehors de Lui. Et quiconque Allah égare n'a point de guide.

Is not Allah enough for his Servant? But they try to frighten thee with other (gods) besides Him! for such as Allah leaves to stray, there can be no guide.


وَمَن يَهْدِ اللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن مُّضِلٍّ ۗ أَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ بِعَزِيزٍ ذِى انتِقَامٍ[37]

Waman yahdi Allahu fama lahu min mudillin alaysa Allahu biAAazeezin thee intiqamin

Quiconque Allah guide, nul ne peut l'égarer. Allah n'est-Il pas Puissant et Détenteur du pouvoir de châtier?

And such as Allah doth guide there can be none to lead astray. Is not Allah Exalted in Power, (Able to enforce His Will), Lord of Retribution?


وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُم مَّنْ خَلَقَ السَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَالْأَرْضَ لَيَقُولُنَّ اللَّهُ ۚ قُلْ أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ إِنْ أَرَادَنِىَ اللَّهُ بِضُرٍّ هَلْ هُنَّ كَٰشِفَٰتُ ضُرِّهِۦٓ أَوْ أَرَادَنِى بِرَحْمَةٍ هَلْ هُنَّ مُمْسِكَٰتُ رَحْمَتِهِۦ ۚ قُلْ حَسْبِىَ اللَّهُ ۖ عَلَيْهِ يَتَوَكَّلُ الْمُتَوَكِّلُونَ[38]

Walain saaltahum man khalaqa alssamawati waalarda layaqoolunna Allahu qul afaraaytum ma tadAAoona min dooni Allahi in aradaniya Allahu bidurrin hal hunna kashifatu durrihi aw aradanee birahmatin hal hunna mumsikatu rahmatihi qul hasbiya Allahu AAalayhi yatawakkalu almutawakkiloona

Si tu leur demandais: «Qui a créé les cieux et la terre?», Ils diraient assurément: «Allah». Dis: «Voyez-vous ceux que vous invoquez en dehors d'Allah; si Allah me voulait du mal, est-ce que [ces divinités] pourraient dissiper Son mal? Ou s'Il me voulait une miséricorde, pourraient-elles retenir Sa miséricorde?» - Dis: «Allah me suffit: c'est en Lui que placent leur confiance ceux qui cherchent un appui».

If indeed thou ask them who it is that created the heavens and the earth, they would be sure to say, "Allah". Say: "See ye then? the things that ye invoke besides Allah,- can they, if Allah wills some Penalty for me, remove His Penalty?- Or if He wills some Grace for me, can they keep back his Grace?" Say: "Sufficient is Allah for me! In Him trust those who put their trust."


قُلْ يَٰقَوْمِ اعْمَلُوا۟ عَلَىٰ مَكَانَتِكُمْ إِنِّى عَٰمِلٌ ۖ فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ[39]

Qul ya qawmi iAAmaloo AAala makanatikum innee AAamilun fasawfa taAAlamoona

Dis: «O mon peuple, agissez selon votre méthode, moi j'agirai [selon la mienne]. Bientôt vous saurez

Say: "O my People! Do whatever ye can: I will do (my part): but soon will ye know-


مَن يَأْتِيهِ عَذَابٌ يُخْزِيهِ وَيَحِلُّ عَلَيْهِ عَذَابٌ مُّقِيمٌ[40]

Man yateehi AAathabun yukhzeehi wayahillu AAalayhi AAathabun muqeemun

sur qui s'abattra un châtiment qui l'avilira; et sur qui se justifiera un châtiment durable».

"Who it is to whom comes a Penalty of ignominy, and on whom descends a Penalty that abides."


إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَٰبَ لِلنَّاسِ بِالْحَقِّ ۖ فَمَنِ اهْتَدَىٰ فَلِنَفْسِهِۦ ۖ وَمَن ضَلَّ فَإِنَّمَا يَضِلُّ عَلَيْهَا ۖ وَمَآ أَنتَ عَلَيْهِم بِوَكِيلٍ[41]

Inna anzalna AAalayka alkitaba lilnnasi bialhaqqi famani ihtada falinafsihi waman dalla fainnama yadillu AAalayha wama anta AAalayhim biwakeelin

Nous t'avons fait descendre le Livre, pour les hommes, en toute vérité. Quiconque se guide [le fait] pour son propre bien; et quiconque s'égare, s'égare à son détriment. Tu n'es nullement responsable [de leurs propres affaires].

Verily We have revealed the Book to thee in Truth, for (instructing) mankind. He, then, that receives guidance benefits his own soul: but he that strays injures his own soul. Nor art thou set over them to dispose of their affairs.


اللَّهُ يَتَوَفَّى الْأَنفُسَ حِينَ مَوْتِهَا وَالَّتِى لَمْ تَمُتْ فِى مَنَامِهَا ۖ فَيُمْسِكُ الَّتِى قَضَىٰ عَلَيْهَا الْمَوْتَ وَيُرْسِلُ الْأُخْرَىٰٓ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ[42]

Allahu yatawaffa alanfusa heena mawtiha waallatee lam tamut fee manamiha fayumsiku allatee qada AAalayha almawta wayursilu alokhra ila ajalin musamman inna fee thalika laayatin liqawmin yatafakkaroona

Allah reçoit les âmes au moment de leur mort ainsi que celles qui ne meurent pas au cours de leur sommeil. Il retient celles à qui Il a décrété la mort, tandis qu'Il renvoie les autres jusqu'à un terme fixé. Il y a certainement là des preuves pour des gens qui réfléchissent.

It is Allah that takes the souls (of men) at death; and those that die not (He takes) during their sleep: those on whom He has passed the decree of death, He keeps back (from returning to life), but the rest He sends (to their bodies) for a term appointed verily in this are Signs for those who reflect.


أَمِ اتَّخَذُوا۟ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ شُفَعَآءَ ۚ قُلْ أَوَلَوْ كَانُوا۟ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ شَيْـًٔا وَلَا يَعْقِلُونَ[43]

Ami ittakhathoo min dooni Allahi shufaAAaa qul awalaw kanoo la yamlikoona shayan wala yaAAqiloona

Ont-ils adopté, en dehors d'Allah, des intercesseurs? Dis: «Quoi! Même s'ils ne détiennent rien et sont dépourvus de raison?

What! Do they take for intercessors others besides Allah? Say: "Even if they have no power whatever and no intelligence?"


قُل لِّلَّهِ الشَّفَٰعَةُ جَمِيعًا ۖ لَّهُۥ مُلْكُ السَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۖ ثُمَّ إِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ[44]

Qul lillahi alshshafaAAatu jameeAAan lahu mulku alssamawati waalardi thumma ilayhi turjaAAoona

Dis: «L'intercession toute entière appartient à Allah. A Lui la royauté des cieux et de la terre. Puis c'est vers Lui que vous serez ramenés».

Say: "To Allah belongs exclusively (the right to grant) intercession: to Him belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth: In the End, it is to Him that ye shall be brought back."


وَإِذَا ذُكِرَ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ اشْمَأَزَّتْ قُلُوبُ الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْءَاخِرَةِ ۖ وَإِذَا ذُكِرَ الَّذِينَ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ إِذَا هُمْ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ[45]

Waitha thukira Allahu wahdahu ishmaazzat quloobu allatheena la yuminoona bialakhirati waitha thukira allatheena min doonihi itha hum yastabshiroona

Et quand Allah est mentionné seul (sans associés), les cœurs de ceux qui ne croient pas en l'au-delà se crispent et quand on mentionne ceux qui sont en dehors de Lui, voilà qu'ils se réjouissent.

When Allah, the One and Only, is mentioned, the hearts of those who believe not in the Hereafter are filled with disgust and horror; but when (gods) other than He are mentioned, behold, they are filled with joy!


قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ فَاطِرَ السَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَالْأَرْضِ عَٰلِمَ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَٰدَةِ أَنتَ تَحْكُمُ بَيْنَ عِبَادِكَ فِى مَا كَانُوا۟ فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ[46]

Quli allahumma fatira alssamawati waalardi AAalima alghaybi waalshshahadati anta tahkumu bayna AAibadika fee ma kanoo feehi yakhtalifoona

Dis: «O Allah, Créateur des cieux et de la terre, Connaisseur de tout ce que le monde ignore comme de ce qu'il perçoit, c'est Toi qui jugeras entre Tes serviteurs ce sur quoi ils divergeaient».

Say: "O Allah! Creator of the heavens and the earth! Knower of all that is hidden and open! it is Thou that wilt judge between Thy Servants in those matters about which they have differed."


وَلَوْ أَنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ مَا فِى الْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا وَمِثْلَهُۥ مَعَهُۥ لَافْتَدَوْا۟ بِهِۦ مِن سُوٓءِ الْعَذَابِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَٰمَةِ ۚ وَبَدَا لَهُم مِّنَ اللَّهِ مَا لَمْ يَكُونُوا۟ يَحْتَسِبُونَ[47]

Walaw anna lillatheena thalamoo ma fee alardi jameeAAan wamithlahu maAAahu laiftadaw bihi min sooi alAAathabi yawma alqiyamati wabada lahum mina Allahi ma lam yakoonoo yahtasiboona

Si les injustes possédaient tout ce qui se trouve sur la terre, - et autant encore -, ils l'offriraient comme rançon pour échapper au pire châtiment le Jour de la Résurrection; et leur apparaîtra, de la part d'Allah, ce qu'ils n'avaient jamais imaginé;

Even if the wrong-doers had all that there is on earth, and as much more, (in vain) would they offer it for ransom from the pain of the Penalty on the Day of Judgment: but something will confront them from Allah, which they could never have counted upon!


وَبَدَا لَهُمْ سَيِّـَٔاتُ مَا كَسَبُوا۟ وَحَاقَ بِهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ[48]

Wabada lahum sayyiatu ma kasaboo wahaqa bihim ma kanoo bihi yastahzioona

et leur apparaîtront les méfaits qu'ils ont commis, et ce dont ils se raillaient les enveloppera.

For the evils of their Deeds will confront them, and they will be (completely) encircled by that which they used to mock at!


فَإِذَا مَسَّ الْإِنسَٰنَ ضُرٌّ دَعَانَا ثُمَّ إِذَا خَوَّلْنَٰهُ نِعْمَةً مِّنَّا قَالَ إِنَّمَآ أُوتِيتُهُۥ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍۭ ۚ بَلْ هِىَ فِتْنَةٌ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ[49]

Faitha massa alinsana durrun daAAana thumma itha khawwalnahu niAAmatan minna qala innama ooteetuhu AAala AAilmin bal hiya fitnatun walakinna aktharahum la yaAAlamoona

Quand un malheur touche l'homme, il Nous invoque. Quand ensuite Nous lui accordons une faveur de Notre part, il dit: «Je ne la dois qu'à [ma] science». C'est une épreuve, plutôt; mais la plupart d'entre eux ne savent pas.

Now, when trouble touches man, he cries to Us: But when We bestow a favour upon him as from Ourselves, he says, "This has been given to me because of a certain knowledge (I have)!" Nay, but this is but a trial, but most of them understand not!


قَدْ قَالَهَا الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ فَمَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ[50]

Qad qalaha allatheena min qablihim fama aghna AAanhum ma kanoo yaksiboona

Ainsi parlaient ceux qui vécurent avant eux. Mais ce qu'ils ont acquis ne leur a servi à rien;

Thus did the (generations) before them say! But all that they did was of no profit to them.


فَأَصَابَهُمْ سَيِّـَٔاتُ مَا كَسَبُوا۟ ۚ وَالَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ مِنْ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ سَيُصِيبُهُمْ سَيِّـَٔاتُ مَا كَسَبُوا۟ وَمَا هُم بِمُعْجِزِينَ[51]

Faasabahum sayyiatu ma kasaboo waallatheena thalamoo min haolai sayuseebuhum sayyiatu ma kasaboo wama hum bimuAAjizeena

Ils furent donc atteints par les mauvaises conséquences de leurs acquis. Ceux de ces gens [les Mecquois] qui auront commis l'injustice seront atteints par les mauvaises conséquences de leurs acquis et ils ne pourront s'opposer à la puissance [d'Allah].

Nay, the evil results of their Deeds overtook them. And the wrong-doers of this (generation)- the evil results of their Deeds will soon overtake them (too), and they will never be able to frustrate (Our Plan)!


أَوَلَمْ يَعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَيَقْدِرُ ۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ[52]

Awalam yaAAlamoo anna Allaha yabsutu alrrizqa liman yashao wayaqdiru inna fee thalika laayatin liqawmin yuminoona

Ne savent-ils pas qu'Allah attribue Ses dons avec largesse ou les restreint à qui Il veut? Il y a en cela des preuves pour des gens qui croient.

Know they not that Allah enlarges the provision or restricts it, for any He pleases? Verily, in this are Signs for those who believe!


۞ قُلْ يَٰعِبَادِىَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا۟ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِهِمْ لَا تَقْنَطُوا۟ مِن رَّحْمَةِ اللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًا ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ[53]

Qul ya AAibadiya allatheena asrafoo AAala anfusihim la taqnatoo min rahmati Allahi inna Allaha yaghfiru alththunooba jameeAAan innahu huwa alghafooru alrraheemu

Dis: «O Mes serviteurs qui avez commis des excès à votre propre détriment, ne désespérez pas de la miséricorde d'Allah. Car Allah pardonne tous les péchés. Oui, c'est Lui le Pardonneur, le Très Miséricordieux.

Say: "O my Servants who have transgressed against their souls! Despair not of the Mercy of Allah: for Allah forgives all sins: for He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.


وَأَنِيبُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكُمْ وَأَسْلِمُوا۟ لَهُۥ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَكُمُ الْعَذَابُ ثُمَّ لَا تُنصَرُونَ[54]

Waaneeboo ila rabbikum waaslimoo lahu min qabli an yatiyakumu alAAathabu thumma la tunsaroona

Et revenez repentant à votre Seigneur, et soumettez-vous à Lui, avant que ne vous vienne le châtiment et vous ne recevez alors aucun secours.

"Turn ye to our Lord (in repentance) and bow to His (Will), before the Penalty comes on you: after that ye shall not be helped.


وَاتَّبِعُوٓا۟ أَحْسَنَ مَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكُم مِّن رَّبِّكُم مِّن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَكُمُ الْعَذَابُ بَغْتَةً وَأَنتُمْ لَا تَشْعُرُونَ[55]

WaittabiAAoo ahsana ma onzila ilaykum min rabbikum min qabli an yatiyakumu alAAathabu baghtatan waantum la tashAAuroona

Et suivez la meilleure révélation qui vous est descendue de la part de votre Seigneur, avant que le châtiment ne vous vienne soudain, sans que vous ne [le] pressentiez;

"And follow the best of (the courses) revealed to you from your Lord, before the Penalty comes on you - of a sudden while ye perceive not!-


أَن تَقُولَ نَفْسٌ يَٰحَسْرَتَىٰ عَلَىٰ مَا فَرَّطتُ فِى جَنۢبِ اللَّهِ وَإِن كُنتُ لَمِنَ السَّٰخِرِينَ[56]

An taqoola nafsun ya hasrata AAala ma farrattu fee janbi Allahi wain kuntu lamina alssakhireena

avant qu'une âme ne dise: «Malheur à moi pour mes manquements envers Allah. Car j'ai été certes, parmi les railleurs»

"Lest the soul should (then) say: 'Ah! Woe is me!- In that I neglected (my duty) towards Allah, and was but among those who mocked!'-


أَوْ تَقُولَ لَوْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ هَدَىٰنِى لَكُنتُ مِنَ الْمُتَّقِينَ[57]

Aw taqoola law anna Allaha hadanee lakuntu mina almuttaqeena

ou qu'elle ne dise: «Si Allah m'avait guidée, j'aurais été certes, parmi les pieux»

"Or (lest) it should say: 'If only Allah had guided me, I should certainly have been among the righteous!'-


أَوْ تَقُولَ حِينَ تَرَى الْعَذَابَ لَوْ أَنَّ لِى كَرَّةً فَأَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ[58]

Aw taqoola heena tara alAAathaba law anna lee karratan faakoona mina almuhsineena

ou bien qu'elle ne dise en voyant le châtiment: «Ah! S'il y avait pour moi un retour! Je serais alors parmi les bienfaisants».

"Or (lest) it should say when it (actually) sees the penalty: 'If only I had another chance, I should certainly be among those who do good!'


بَلَىٰ قَدْ جَآءَتْكَ ءَايَٰتِى فَكَذَّبْتَ بِهَا وَاسْتَكْبَرْتَ وَكُنتَ مِنَ الْكَٰفِرِينَ[59]

«Oh que si! Mes versets te sont venus et tu les as traités de mensonge, tu t'es enflé d'orgueil et tu étais parmi les mécréants».

"(The reply will be:) 'Nay, but there came to thee my Signs, and thou didst reject them: thou wast Haughty, and became one of those who reject faith!'"


وَيَوْمَ الْقِيَٰمَةِ تَرَى الَّذِينَ كَذَبُوا۟ عَلَى اللَّهِ وُجُوهُهُم مُّسْوَدَّةٌ ۚ أَلَيْسَ فِى جَهَنَّمَ مَثْوًى لِّلْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ[60]

Wayawma alqiyamati tara allatheena kathaboo AAala Allahi wujoohuhum muswaddatun alaysa fee jahannama mathwan lilmutakabbireena

Et au Jour de la Résurrection, tu verras les visages de ceux qui mentaient sur Allah, assombris. N'est-ce pas dans l'Enfer qu'il y aura une demeure pour les orgueilleux?

On the Day of Judgment wilt thou see those who told lies against Allah;- their faces will be turned black; Is there not in Hell an abode for the Haughty?


وَيُنَجِّى اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْا۟ بِمَفَازَتِهِمْ لَا يَمَسُّهُمُ السُّوٓءُ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ[61]

Wayunajjee Allahu allatheena ittaqaw bimafazatihim la yamassuhumu alssooo wala hum yahzanoona

Et Allah sauvera ceux qui ont été pieux en leur faisant gagner [leur place au Paradis]. Nul mal ne les touchera et ils ne seront point affligés.

But Allah will deliver the righteous to their place of salvation: no evil shall touch them, nor shall they grieve.


اللَّهُ خَٰلِقُ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ ۖ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ وَكِيلٌ[62]

Allahu khaliqu kulli shayin wahuwa AAala kulli shayin wakeelun

Allah est le Créateur de toute chose, et de toute chose Il est Garant.

Allah is the Creator of all things, and He is the Guardian and Disposer of all affairs.


لَّهُۥ مَقَالِيدُ السَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۗ وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِ اللَّهِ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ الْخَٰسِرُونَ[63]

Il détient les clefs des cieux et de la terre; et ceux qui ne croient pas aux versets d'Allah, ce sont ceux-là les perdants.

To Him belong the keys of the heavens and the earth: and those who reject the Signs of Allah,- it is they who will be in loss.


قُلْ أَفَغَيْرَ اللَّهِ تَأْمُرُوٓنِّىٓ أَعْبُدُ أَيُّهَا الْجَٰهِلُونَ[64]

Dis: «Me commanderez-vous d'adorer autre qu'Allah, O ignorants?»

Say: "Is it some one other than Allah that ye order me to worship, O ye ignorant ones?"


وَلَقَدْ أُوحِىَ إِلَيْكَ وَإِلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكَ لَئِنْ أَشْرَكْتَ لَيَحْبَطَنَّ عَمَلُكَ وَلَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْخَٰسِرِينَ[65]

Walaqad oohiya ilayka waila allatheena min qablika lain ashrakta layahbatanna AAamaluka walatakoonanna mina alkhasireena

En effet, il t'a été révélé, ainsi qu'à ceux qui t'ont précédé: «Si tu donnes des associés à Allah, ton œuvre sera certes vaine; et tu seras très certainement du nombre des perdants.

But it has already been revealed to thee,- as it was to those before thee,- "If thou wert to join (gods with Allah), truly fruitless will be thy work (in life), and thou wilt surely be in the ranks of those who lose (all spiritual good)".


بَلِ اللَّهَ فَاعْبُدْ وَكُن مِّنَ الشَّٰكِرِينَ[66]

Bali Allaha faoAAbud wakun mina alshshakireena

Tout au contraire, adore Allah seul et sois du nombre des reconnaissants».

Nay, but worship Allah, and be of those who give thanks.


وَمَا قَدَرُوا۟ اللَّهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِۦ وَالْأَرْضُ جَمِيعًا قَبْضَتُهُۥ يَوْمَ الْقِيَٰمَةِ وَالسَّمَٰوَٰتُ مَطْوِيَّٰتٌۢ بِيَمِينِهِۦ ۚ سُبْحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ[67]

Wama qadaroo Allaha haqqa qadrihi waalardu jameeAAan qabdatuhu yawma alqiyamati waalssamawatu matwiyyatun biyameenihi subhanahu wataAAala AAamma yushrikoona

Ils n'ont pas estimé Allah comme Il devrait l'être alors qu'au Jour de la Résurrection, Il fera de la terre entière une poignée, et les cieux seront pliés dans Sa [main] droite. Gloire à Lui! Il est au-dessus de ce qu'ils Lui associent.

No just estimate have they made of Allah, such as is due to Him: On the Day of Judgment the whole of the earth will be but His handful, and the heavens will be rolled up in His right hand: Glory to Him! High is He above the Partners they attribute to Him!


وَنُفِخَ فِى الصُّورِ فَصَعِقَ مَن فِى السَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَن فِى الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا مَن شَآءَ اللَّهُ ۖ ثُمَّ نُفِخَ فِيهِ أُخْرَىٰ فَإِذَا هُمْ قِيَامٌ يَنظُرُونَ[68]

Wanufikha fee alssoori fasaAAiqa man fee alssamawati waman fee alardi illa man shaa Allahu thumma nufikha feehi okhra faitha hum qiyamun yanthuroona

Et on soufflera dans la Trompe, et voilà que ceux qui seront dans les cieux et ceux qui seront sur la terre seront foudroyés, sauf ceux qu'Allah voudra [épargner]. Puis on y soufflera de nouveau, et les voilà debout à regarder.

The Trumpet will (just) be sounded, when all that are in the heavens and on earth will swoon, except such as it will please Allah (to exempt). Then will a second one be sounded, when, behold, they will be standing and looking on!
