تَنزِيلٌ مِّنَ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ[2]

Tanzeelun mina alrrahmani alrraheemi

[C'est] une Révélation descendue de la part du Tout Miséricordieux, du Très Miséricordieux.

A Revelation from (Allah), Most Gracious, Most Merciful;-

كِتَٰبٌ فُصِّلَتْ ءَايَٰتُهُۥ قُرْءَانًا عَرَبِيًّا لِّقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ[3]

Kitabun fussilat ayatuhu quranan AAarabiyyan liqawmin yaAAlamoona

Un Livre dont les versets sont détaillés (et clairement exposés), un Coran [lecture] arabe pour des gens qui savent,

A Book, whereof the verses are explained in detail;- a Qur'an in Arabic, for people who understand;-

بَشِيرًا وَنَذِيرًا فَأَعْرَضَ أَكْثَرُهُمْ فَهُمْ لَا يَسْمَعُونَ[4]

Basheeran wanatheeran faaAArada aktharuhum fahum la yasmaAAoona

annonciateur [d'une bonne nouvelle] et avertisseur. Mais la plupart d'entre eux se détournent; c'est qu'ils n'entendent pas.

Giving good news and admonition: yet most of them turn away, and so they hear not.

وَقَالُوا۟ قُلُوبُنَا فِىٓ أَكِنَّةٍ مِّمَّا تَدْعُونَآ إِلَيْهِ وَفِىٓ ءَاذَانِنَا وَقْرٌ وَمِنۢ بَيْنِنَا وَبَيْنِكَ حِجَابٌ فَاعْمَلْ إِنَّنَا عَٰمِلُونَ[5]

Waqaloo quloobuna fee akinnatin mimma tadAAoona ilayhi wafee athanina waqrun wamin baynina wabaynika hijabun faiAAmal innana AAamiloona

Et ils dirent: «Nos cœurs sont voilés contre ce à quoi tu nous appelles, nos oreilles sont sourdes. Et entre nous et toi, il y a une cloison. Agis donc de ton côté; nous agissons du nôtre.»

They say: "Our hearts are under veils, (concealed) from that to which thou dost invite us, and in our ears in a deafness, and between us and thee is a screen: so do thou (what thou wilt); for us, we shall do (what we will!)"

قُلْ إِنَّمَآ أَنَا۠ بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ يُوحَىٰٓ إِلَىَّ أَنَّمَآ إِلَٰهُكُمْ إِلَٰهٌ وَٰحِدٌ فَاسْتَقِيمُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِ وَاسْتَغْفِرُوهُ ۗ وَوَيْلٌ لِّلْمُشْرِكِينَ[6]

Qul innama ana basharun mithlukum yooha ilayya annama ilahukum ilahun wahidun faistaqeemoo ilayhi waistaghfiroohu wawaylun lilmushrikeena

Dis: «Je ne suis qu'un homme comme vous. Il m'a été révélé que votre Dieu est un Dieu unique. Cherchez le droit chemin vers Lui et implorez son pardon». Et malheur aux Associateurs

Say thou: "I am but a man like you: It is revealed to me by Inspiration, that your Allah is one Allah: so stand true to Him, and ask for His Forgiveness." And woe to those who join gods with Allah,-

الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْتُونَ الزَّكَوٰةَ وَهُم بِالْءَاخِرَةِ هُمْ كَٰفِرُونَ[7]

Allatheena la yutoona alzzakata wahum bialakhirati hum kafiroona

qui n'acquittent pas la Zakât et ne croient pas en l'au-delà!

Those who practise not regular Charity, and who even deny the Hereafter.

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ الصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ[8]

Inna allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati lahum ajrun ghayru mamnoonin

Ceux qui croient et accomplissent de bonnes œuvres auront une énorme récompense jamais interrompue.

For those who believe and work deeds of righteousness is a reward that will never fail.

۞ قُلْ أَئِنَّكُمْ لَتَكْفُرُونَ بِالَّذِى خَلَقَ الْأَرْضَ فِى يَوْمَيْنِ وَتَجْعَلُونَ لَهُۥٓ أَندَادًا ۚ ذَٰلِكَ رَبُّ الْعَٰلَمِينَ[9]

Qul ainnakum latakfuroona biallathee khalaqa alarda fee yawmayni watajAAaloona lahu andadan thalika rabbu alAAalameena

Dis: «Renierez-vous [l'existence] de celui qui a créé la terre en deux jours et Lui donnerez-vous des égaux? Tel est le Seigneur de l'univers,

Say: Is it that ye deny Him Who created the earth in two Days? And do ye join equals with Him? He is the Lord of (all) the Worlds.

وَجَعَلَ فِيهَا رَوَٰسِىَ مِن فَوْقِهَا وَبَٰرَكَ فِيهَا وَقَدَّرَ فِيهَآ أَقْوَٰتَهَا فِىٓ أَرْبَعَةِ أَيَّامٍ سَوَآءً لِّلسَّآئِلِينَ[10]

WajaAAala feeha rawasiya min fawqiha wabaraka feeha waqaddara feeha aqwataha fee arbaAAati ayyamin sawaan lilssaileena

c'est Lui qui a fermement fixé des montagnes au-dessus d'elle, l'a bénie et lui assigna ses ressources alimentaires en quatre jours d'égale durée. [Telle est la réponse] à ceux qui t'interrogent.

He set on the (earth), mountains standing firm, high above it, and bestowed blessings on the earth, and measure therein all things to give them nourishment in due proportion, in four Days, in accordance with (the needs of) those who seek (Sustenance).

ثُمَّ اسْتَوَىٰٓ إِلَى السَّمَآءِ وَهِىَ دُخَانٌ فَقَالَ لَهَا وَلِلْأَرْضِ ائْتِيَا طَوْعًا أَوْ كَرْهًا قَالَتَآ أَتَيْنَا طَآئِعِينَ[11]

Thumma istawa ila alssamai wahiya dukhanun faqala laha walilardi itiya tawAAan aw karhan qalata atayna taiAAeena

Il S'est ensuite adressé au ciel qui était alors fumée et lui dit, ainsi qu'à la terre: «Venez tous deux, bon gré, mal gré». Tous deux dirent: «Nous venons obéissants».

Moreover He comprehended in His design the sky, and it had been (as) smoke: He said to it and to the earth: "Come ye together, willingly or unwillingly." They said: "We do come (together), in willing obedience."

فَقَضَىٰهُنَّ سَبْعَ سَمَٰوَاتٍ فِى يَوْمَيْنِ وَأَوْحَىٰ فِى كُلِّ سَمَآءٍ أَمْرَهَا ۚ وَزَيَّنَّا السَّمَآءَ الدُّنْيَا بِمَصَٰبِيحَ وَحِفْظًا ۚ ذَٰلِكَ تَقْدِيرُ الْعَزِيزِ الْعَلِيمِ[12]

Faqadahunna sabAAa samawatin fee yawmayni waawha fee kulli samain amraha wazayyanna alssamaa alddunya bimasabeeha wahifthan thalika taqdeeru alAAazeezi alAAaleemi

Il décréta d'en faire sept cieux en deux jours et révéla à chaque ciel sa fonction. Et Nous avons décoré le ciel le plus proche de lampes [étoiles] et l'avons protégé. Tel est l'Ordre établi par le Puissant, l'Omniscient.

So He completed them as seven firmaments in two Days, and He assigned to each heaven its duty and command. And We adorned the lower heaven with lights, and (provided it) with guard. Such is the Decree of (Him) the Exalted in Might, Full of Knowledge.

فَإِنْ أَعْرَضُوا۟ فَقُلْ أَنذَرْتُكُمْ صَٰعِقَةً مِّثْلَ صَٰعِقَةِ عَادٍ وَثَمُودَ[13]

Fain aAAradoo fuqul anthartukum saAAiqatan mithla saAAiqati AAadin wathamooda

S'ils s'en détournent, alors dis-leur; «Je vous ai avertis d'une foudre semblable à celle qui frappa les 'Aad et les Tamûd».

But if they turn away, say thou: "I have warned you of a stunning Punishment (as of thunder and lightning) like that which (overtook) the 'Ad and the Thamud!"

إِذْ جَآءَتْهُمُ الرُّسُلُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ أَلَّا تَعْبُدُوٓا۟ إِلَّا اللَّهَ ۖ قَالُوا۟ لَوْ شَآءَ رَبُّنَا لَأَنزَلَ مَلَٰٓئِكَةً فَإِنَّا بِمَآ أُرْسِلْتُم بِهِۦ كَٰفِرُونَ[14]

Ith jaathumu alrrusulu min bayni aydeehim wamin khalfihim alla taAAbudoo illa Allaha qaloo law shaa rabbuna laanzala malaikatan fainna bima orsiltum bihi kafiroona

Quand les Messagers leur étaient venus, de devant eux et par derrière, [leur disant]: «N'adorez qu'Allah», ils dirent: «Si notre Seigneur avait voulu, Il aurait certainement fait descendre des Anges. Nous ne croyons donc pas [au message] avec lequel vous avez été envoyés».

Behold, the messengers came to them, from before them and behind them, (preaching): "Serve none but Allah." They said, "If our Lord had so pleased, He would certainly have sent down angels (to preach). Now we reject your mission (altogether)."

فَأَمَّا عَادٌ فَاسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ فِى الْأَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ وَقَالُوا۟ مَنْ أَشَدُّ مِنَّا قُوَّةً ۖ أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ أَنَّ اللَّهَ الَّذِى خَلَقَهُمْ هُوَ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّةً ۖ وَكَانُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا يَجْحَدُونَ[15]

Faamma AAadun faistakbaroo fee alardi bighayri alhaqqi waqaloo man ashaddu minna quwwatan awalam yaraw anna Allaha allathee khalaqahum huwa ashaddu minhum quwwatan wakanoo biayatina yajhadoona

Quant aux 'Aad, ils s'enflèrent d'orgueil sur terre injustement et dirent: «Qui est plus fort que nous?» Quoi! N'ont-ils pas vu qu'en vérité Allah qui les a créés est plus fort qu'eux? Et ils reniaient Nos signes.

Now the 'Ad behaved arrogantly through the land, against (all) truth and reason, and said: "Who is superior to us in strength?" What! did they not see that Allah, Who created them, was superior to them in strength? But they continued to reject Our Signs!

فَأَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ رِيحًا صَرْصَرًا فِىٓ أَيَّامٍ نَّحِسَاتٍ لِّنُذِيقَهُمْ عَذَابَ الْخِزْىِ فِى الْحَيَوٰةِ الدُّنْيَا ۖ وَلَعَذَابُ الْءَاخِرَةِ أَخْزَىٰ ۖ وَهُمْ لَا يُنصَرُونَ[16]

Faarsalna AAalayhim reehan sarsaran fee ayyamin nahisatin linutheeqahum AAathaba alkhizyi fee alhayati alddunya walaAAathabu alakhirati akhza wahum la yunsaroona

Nous déchaînâmes contre eux un vent violent et glacial en des jours néfastes, afin de leur faire goûter le châtiment de l'ignominie dans la vie présente. Le châtiment de l'au-delà cependant est plus ignominieux encore, et ils ne seront pas secourus.

So We sent against them a furious Wind through days of disaster, that We might give them a taste of a Penalty of humiliation in this life; but the Penalty of a Hereafter will be more humiliating still: and they will find no help.

وَأَمَّا ثَمُودُ فَهَدَيْنَٰهُمْ فَاسْتَحَبُّوا۟ الْعَمَىٰ عَلَى الْهُدَىٰ فَأَخَذَتْهُمْ صَٰعِقَةُ الْعَذَابِ الْهُونِ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ[17]

Waamma thamoodu fahadaynahum faistahabboo alAAama AAala alhuda faakhathathum saAAiqatu alAAathabi alhooni bima kanoo yaksiboona

Et quant aux Tamûd, Nous les guidâmes; mais ils ont préféré l'aveuglement à la guidée. C'est alors qu'ils furent saisis par la foudre du supplice le plus humiliant pour ce qu'ils avaient acquis.

As to the Thamud, We gave them Guidance, but they preferred blindness (of heart) to Guidance: so the stunning Punishment of humiliation seized them, because of what they had earned.

وَنَجَّيْنَا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَكَانُوا۟ يَتَّقُونَ[18]

Wanajjayna allatheena amanoo wakanoo yattaqoona

Et Nous sauvâmes ceux qui croyaient et craignaient Allah.

But We delivered those who believed and practised righteousness.

وَيَوْمَ يُحْشَرُ أَعْدَآءُ اللَّهِ إِلَى النَّارِ فَهُمْ يُوزَعُونَ[19]

Wayawma yuhsharu aAAdao Allahi ila alnnari fahum yoozaAAoona

Et le jour où les ennemis d'Allah seront rassemblés en masse vers le Feu... Puis on les poussera [dans sa direction].

On the Day that the enemies of Allah will be gathered together to the Fire, they will be marched in ranks.

حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا مَا جَآءُوهَا شَهِدَ عَلَيْهِمْ سَمْعُهُمْ وَأَبْصَٰرُهُمْ وَجُلُودُهُم بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ[20]

Hatta itha ma jaooha shahida AAalayhim samAAuhum waabsaruhum wajulooduhum bima kanoo yaAAmaloona

Alors, quand ils y seront, leur ouïe, leurs yeux et leurs peaux témoigneront contre eux de ce qu'ils œuvraient.

At length, when they reach the (Fire), their hearing, their sight, and their skins will bear witness against them, as to (all) their deeds.

وَقَالُوا۟ لِجُلُودِهِمْ لِمَ شَهِدتُّمْ عَلَيْنَا ۖ قَالُوٓا۟ أَنطَقَنَا اللَّهُ الَّذِىٓ أَنطَقَ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ وَهُوَ خَلَقَكُمْ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ[21]

Waqaloo lijuloodihim lima shahidtum AAalayna qaloo antaqana Allahu allathee antaqa kulla shayin wahuwa khalaqakum awwala marratin wailayhi turjaAAoona

Ils diront à leurs peaux: «Pourquoi avez-vous témoigné contre nous?» Elles diront: «C'est Allah qui nous a fait parler, Lui qui fait parler toute chose. C'est Lui qui vous a créés une première fois et c'est vers Lui que vous serez retournés».

They will say to their skins: "Why bear ye witness against us?" They will say: "Allah hath given us speech,- (He) Who giveth speech to everything: He created you for the first time, and unto Him were ye to return.

وَمَا كُنتُمْ تَسْتَتِرُونَ أَن يَشْهَدَ عَلَيْكُمْ سَمْعُكُمْ وَلَآ أَبْصَٰرُكُمْ وَلَا جُلُودُكُمْ وَلَٰكِن ظَنَنتُمْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَعْلَمُ كَثِيرًا مِّمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ[22]

Wama kuntum tastatiroona an yashhada AAalaykum samAAukum wala absarukum wala juloodukum walakin thanantum anna Allaha la yaAAlamu katheeran mimma taAAmaloona

Vous ne pouviez vous cacher au point que ni votre ouïe, ni vos yeux et ni vos peaux ne puissent témoigner contre vous. Mais vous pensiez qu'Allah ne savait pas beaucoup de ce que vous faisiez.

"Ye did not seek to hide yourselves, lest your hearing, your sight, and your skins should bear witness against you! But ye did think that Allah knew not many of the things that ye used to do!

وَذَٰلِكُمْ ظَنُّكُمُ الَّذِى ظَنَنتُم بِرَبِّكُمْ أَرْدَىٰكُمْ فَأَصْبَحْتُم مِّنَ الْخَٰسِرِينَ[23]

Wathalikum thannukumu allathee thanantum birabbikum ardakum faasbahtum mina alkhasireena

Et c'est cette pensée que vous avez eue de votre Seigneur, qui vous a ruinés, de sorte que vous êtes devenus du nombre des perdants.

"But this thought of yours which ye did entertain concerning your Lord, hath brought you to destruction, and (now) have ye become of those utterly lost!"

فَإِن يَصْبِرُوا۟ فَالنَّارُ مَثْوًى لَّهُمْ ۖ وَإِن يَسْتَعْتِبُوا۟ فَمَا هُم مِّنَ الْمُعْتَبِينَ[24]

Fain yasbiroo faalnnaru mathwan lahum wain yastaAAtiboo fama hum mina almuAAtabeena

S'ils endurent, le Feu sera leur lieu de séjour; et s'ils cherchent à s'excuser, ils ne seront pas excusés.

If, then, they have patience, the Fire will be a home for them! and if they beg to be received into favour, into favour will they not (then) be received.

۞ وَقَيَّضْنَا لَهُمْ قُرَنَآءَ فَزَيَّنُوا۟ لَهُم مَّا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَحَقَّ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقَوْلُ فِىٓ أُمَمٍ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّنَ الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنسِ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ خَٰسِرِينَ[25]

Waqayyadna lahum quranaa fazayyanoo lahum ma bayna aydeehim wama khalfahum wahaqqa AAalayhimu alqawlu fee omamin qad khalat min qablihim mina aljinni waalinsi innahum kanoo khasireena

Et Nous leur avons destiné des compagnons inséparables [des démons] qui leur ont enjolivé ce qui était devant et derrière eux. Et le décret s'est avéré juste contre eux, comme contre les autres communautés de djinns et d'hommes qui ont vécu avant eux. Ils sont certes perdants!

And We have destined for them intimate companions (of like nature), who made alluring to them what was before them and behind them; and the sentence among the previous generations of Jinns and men, who have passed away, is proved against them; for they are utterly lost.

وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لَا تَسْمَعُوا۟ لِهَٰذَا الْقُرْءَانِ وَالْغَوْا۟ فِيهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَغْلِبُونَ[26]

Waqala allatheena kafaroo la tasmaAAoo lihatha alqurani wailghaw feehi laAAallakum taghliboona

Et ceux qui avaient mécru dirent: «Ne prêtez pas l'oreille à ce Coran, et faites du chahut (pendant sa récitation), afin d'avoir le dessus».

The Unbelievers say: "Listen not to this Qur'an, but talk at random in the midst of its (reading), that ye may gain the upper hand!"

فَلَنُذِيقَنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ عَذَابًا شَدِيدًا وَلَنَجْزِيَنَّهُمْ أَسْوَأَ الَّذِى كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ[27]

Falanutheeqanna allatheena kafaroo AAathaban shadeedan walanajziyannahum aswaa allathee kanoo yaAAmaloona

Nous ferons certes, goûter à ceux qui ne croient pas un dur châtiment, et les rétribuerons certes [d'une punition] pire que ce [que méritent] leurs méfaits.

But We will certainly give the Unbelievers a taste of a severe Penalty, and We will requite them for the worst of their deeds.

ذَٰلِكَ جَزَآءُ أَعْدَآءِ اللَّهِ النَّارُ ۖ لَهُمْ فِيهَا دَارُ الْخُلْدِ ۖ جَزَآءًۢ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا يَجْحَدُونَ[28]

Thalika jazao aAAdai Allahi alnnaru lahum feeha daru alkhuldi jazaan bima kanoo biayatina yajhadoona

Ainsi, la rétribution des ennemis d'Allah sera le Feu où ils auront une demeure éternelle, comme punition pour avoir nié Nos versets [le Coran].

Such is the requital of the enemies of Allah,- the Fire: therein will be for them the Eternal Home: a (fit) requital, for that they were wont to reject Our Signs.

وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ رَبَّنَآ أَرِنَا الَّذَيْنِ أَضَلَّانَا مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنسِ نَجْعَلْهُمَا تَحْتَ أَقْدَامِنَا لِيَكُونَا مِنَ الْأَسْفَلِينَ[29]

Waqala allatheena kafaroo rabbana arina allathayni adallana mina aljinni waalinsi najAAalhuma tahta aqdamina liyakoona mina alasfaleena

Et les mécréants diront: «Seigneur, fais-nous voir ceux des djinns et des humains qui nous ont égarés, afin que nous les placions tous sous nos pieds, pour qu'ils soient parmi les plus bas».

And the Unbelievers will say: "Our Lord! Show us those, among Jinns and men, who misled us: We shall crush them beneath our feet, so that they become the vilest (before all)."

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا۟ رَبُّنَا اللَّهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَقَٰمُوا۟ تَتَنَزَّلُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ أَلَّا تَخَافُوا۟ وَلَا تَحْزَنُوا۟ وَأَبْشِرُوا۟ بِالْجَنَّةِ الَّتِى كُنتُمْ تُوعَدُونَ[30]

Inna allatheena qaloo rabbuna Allahu thumma istaqamoo tatanazzalu AAalayhimu almalaikatu alla takhafoo wala tahzanoo waabshiroo bialjannati allatee kuntum tooAAadoona

Ceux qui disent: «Notre Seigneur est Allah», et qui se tiennent dans le droit chemin, les Anges descendent sur eux. «N'ayez pas peur et ne soyez pas affligés; mais ayez la bonne nouvelle du Paradis qui vous était promis.

In the case of those who say, "Our Lord is Allah", and, further, stand straight and steadfast, the angels descend on them (from time to time): "Fear ye not!" (they suggest), "Nor grieve! but receive the Glad Tidings of the Garden (of Bliss), the which ye were promised!

نَحْنُ أَوْلِيَآؤُكُمْ فِى الْحَيَوٰةِ الدُّنْيَا وَفِى الْءَاخِرَةِ ۖ وَلَكُمْ فِيهَا مَا تَشْتَهِىٓ أَنفُسُكُمْ وَلَكُمْ فِيهَا مَا تَدَّعُونَ[31]

Nahnu awliyaokum fee alhayati alddunya wafee alakhirati walakum feeha ma tashtahee anfusukum walakum feeha ma taddaAAoona

Nous sommes vos protecteurs dans la vie présente et dans l'au-delà; et vous y aurez ce que vos âmes désireront et ce que vous réclamerez,

"We are your protectors in this life and in the Hereafter: therein shall ye have all that your souls shall desire; therein shall ye have all that ye ask for!-

نُزُلًا مِّنْ غَفُورٍ رَّحِيمٍ[32]

Nuzulan min ghafoorin raheemin

un lieu d'accueil de la part d'un Très Grand Pardonneur, d'un Très Miséricordieux».

"A hospitable gift from one Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful!"

وَمَنْ أَحْسَنُ قَوْلًا مِّمَّن دَعَآ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَعَمِلَ صَٰلِحًا وَقَالَ إِنَّنِى مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ[33]

Waman ahsanu qawlan mimman daAAa ila Allahi waAAamila salihan waqala innanee mina almuslimeena

Et qui profère plus belles paroles que celui qui appelle à Allah, fait bonne œuvre et dit: «Je suis du nombre des Musulmans?»

Who is better in speech than one who calls (men) to Allah, works righteousness, and says, "I am of those who bow in Islam"?

وَلَا تَسْتَوِى الْحَسَنَةُ وَلَا السَّيِّئَةُ ۚ ادْفَعْ بِالَّتِى هِىَ أَحْسَنُ فَإِذَا الَّذِى بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَهُۥ عَدَٰوَةٌ كَأَنَّهُۥ وَلِىٌّ حَمِيمٌ[34]

Wala tastawee alhasanatu wala alssayyiatu idfaAA biallatee hiya ahsanu faitha allathee baynaka wabaynahu AAadawatun kaannahu waliyyun hameemun

La bonne action et la mauvaise ne sont pas pareilles. Repousse (le mal) par ce qui est meilleur; et voilà que celui avec qui tu avais une animosité devient tel un ami chaleureux.

Nor can goodness and Evil be equal. Repel (Evil) with what is better: Then will he between whom and thee was hatred become as it were thy friend and intimate!

وَمَا يُلَقَّىٰهَآ إِلَّا الَّذِينَ صَبَرُوا۟ وَمَا يُلَقَّىٰهَآ إِلَّا ذُو حَظٍّ عَظِيمٍ[35]

Wama yulaqqaha illa allatheena sabaroo wama yulaqqaha illa thoo haththin AAatheemin

Mais (ce privilège) n'est donné qu'à ceux qui endurent et il n'est donné qu'au possesseur d'une grâce infinie.

And no one will be granted such goodness except those who exercise patience and self-restraint,- none but persons of the greatest good fortune.

وَإِمَّا يَنزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَٰنِ نَزْغٌ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ[36]

Waimma yanzaghannaka mina alshshaytani nazghun faistaAAith biAllahi innahu huwa alssameeAAu alAAaleemu

Et si jamais le Diable t'incite (à agir autrement), alors cherche refuge auprès d'Allah; c'est Lui, vraiment l'Audient, l'Omniscient.

And if (at any time) an incitement to discord is made to thee by the Evil One, seek refuge in Allah. He is the One Who hears and knows all things.

وَمِنْ ءَايَٰتِهِ الَّيْلُ وَالنَّهَارُ وَالشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ ۚ لَا تَسْجُدُوا۟ لِلشَّمْسِ وَلَا لِلْقَمَرِ وَاسْجُدُوا۟ لِلَّهِ الَّذِى خَلَقَهُنَّ إِن كُنتُمْ إِيَّاهُ تَعْبُدُونَ[37]

Wamin ayatihi allaylu waalnnaharu waalshshamsu waalqamaru la tasjudoo lilshshamsi wala lilqamari waosjudoo lillahi alathee khalaqahunna in kuntum iyyahu taAAbudoona

Parmi Ses merveilles, sont la nuit et le jour, le soleil et la lune: ne vous prosternez ni devant le soleil, ni devant la lune, mais prosternez-vous devant Allah qui les a créés, si c'est Lui que vous adorez.

Among His Signs are the Night and the Day, and the Sun and the Moon. Do not prostrate to the sun and the moon, but prostrate to Allah, Who created them, if it is Him ye wish to serve.

فَإِنِ اسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ فَالَّذِينَ عِندَ رَبِّكَ يُسَبِّحُونَ لَهُۥ بِالَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ وَهُمْ لَا يَسْـَٔمُونَ ۩[38]

Faini istakbaroo faallatheena AAinda rabbika yusabbihoona lahu biallayli waalnnahari wahum la yasamoona

Mais s'ils s'enflent d'orgueil... ceux qui sont auprès de ton Seigneur [les Anges] Le glorifient, nuit et jour, sans jamais se lasser!

But is the (Unbelievers) are arrogant, (no matter): for in the presence of thy Lord are those who celebrate His praises by night and by day. And they never flag (nor feel themselves above it).

وَمِنْ ءَايَٰتِهِۦٓ أَنَّكَ تَرَى الْأَرْضَ خَٰشِعَةً فَإِذَآ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْهَا الْمَآءَ اهْتَزَّتْ وَرَبَتْ ۚ إِنَّ الَّذِىٓ أَحْيَاهَا لَمُحْىِ الْمَوْتَىٰٓ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ[39]

Wamin ayatihi annaka tara alarda khashiAAatan faitha anzalna AAalayha almaa ihtazzat warabat inna allathee ahyaha lamuhyee almawta innahu AAala kulli shayin qadeerun

Et parmi Ses merveilles est que tu vois la terre humiliée (toute nue). Puis aussitôt que Nous faisons descendre l'eau sur elle, elle se soulève et augmente [de volume]. Celui qui lui redonne la vie est certes Celui qui fera revivre les morts, car Il est Omnipotent.

And among His Signs in this: thou seest the earth barren and desolate; but when We send down rain to it, it is stirred to life and yields increase. Truly, He Who gives life to the (dead) earth can surely give life to (men) who are dead. For He has power over all things.

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُلْحِدُونَ فِىٓ ءَايَٰتِنَا لَا يَخْفَوْنَ عَلَيْنَآ ۗ أَفَمَن يُلْقَىٰ فِى النَّارِ خَيْرٌ أَم مَّن يَأْتِىٓ ءَامِنًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَٰمَةِ ۚ اعْمَلُوا۟ مَا شِئْتُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ[40]

Inna allatheena yulhidoona fee ayatina la yakhfawna AAalayna afaman yulqa fee alnnari khayrun am man yatee aminan yawma alqiyamati iAAmaloo ma shitum innahu bima taAAmaloona baseerun

Ceux qui dénaturent le sens de Nos versets (le Coran) ne Nous échappent pas. Celui qui sera jeté au Feu sera-t-il meilleur que celui qui viendra en toute sécurité le Jour de la Résurrection? Faites ce que vous voulez car Il est Clairvoyant sur tout ce que vous faites;

Those who pervert the Truth in Our Signs are not hidden from Us. Which is better?- he that is cast into the Fire, or he that comes safe through, on the Day of Judgment? Do what ye will: verily He seeth (clearly) all that ye do.

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بِالذِّكْرِ لَمَّا جَآءَهُمْ ۖ وَإِنَّهُۥ لَكِتَٰبٌ عَزِيزٌ[41]

Inna allatheena kafaroo bialththikri lamma jaahum wainnahu lakitabun AAazeezun

Ceux qui ne croient pas au Rappel [le Coran] quand il leur parvient... alors que c'est un Livre puissant [inattaquable];

Those who reject the Message when it comes to them (are not hidden from Us). And indeed it is a Book of exalted power.

لَّا يَأْتِيهِ الْبَٰطِلُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَلَا مِنْ خَلْفِهِۦ ۖ تَنزِيلٌ مِّنْ حَكِيمٍ حَمِيدٍ[42]

La yateehi albatilu min bayni yadayhi wala min khalfihi tanzeelun min hakeemin hameedin

Le faux ne l'atteint [d'aucune part], ni par devant ni par derrière: c'est une révélation émanant d'un Sage, Digne de louange.

No falsehood can approach it from before or behind it: It is sent down by One Full of Wisdom, Worthy of all Praise.

مَّا يُقَالُ لَكَ إِلَّا مَا قَدْ قِيلَ لِلرُّسُلِ مِن قَبْلِكَ ۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَذُو مَغْفِرَةٍ وَذُو عِقَابٍ أَلِيمٍ[43]

Ma yuqalu laka illa ma qad qeela lilrrusuli min qablika inna rabbaka lathoo maghfiratin wathoo AAiqabin aleemin

Il ne t'est dit que ce qui a été dit aux Messagers avant toi. Ton Seigneur est certes Détenteur du pardon et Détenteur aussi d'une punition douloureuse.

Nothing is said to thee that was not said to the messengers before thee: that thy lord has at his Command (all) forgiveness as well as a most Grievous Penalty.

وَلَوْ جَعَلْنَٰهُ قُرْءَانًا أَعْجَمِيًّا لَّقَالُوا۟ لَوْلَا فُصِّلَتْ ءَايَٰتُهُۥٓ ۖ ءَا۬عْجَمِىٌّ وَعَرَبِىٌّ ۗ قُلْ هُوَ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ هُدًى وَشِفَآءٌ ۖ وَالَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ فِىٓ ءَاذَانِهِمْ وَقْرٌ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَمًى ۚ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ يُنَادَوْنَ مِن مَّكَانٍۭ بَعِيدٍ[44]

Walaw jaAAalnahu quranan aAAjamiyyan laqaloo lawla fussilat ayatuhu aaAAjamiyyun waAAarabiyyun qul huwa lillatheena amanoo hudan washifaon waallatheena la yuminoona fee athanihim waqrun wahuwa AAalayhim AAaman olaika yunadawna min makanin baAAeedin

Si Nous en avions fait un Coran en une langue autre que l'arabe, ils auraient dit: «Pourquoi ses versets n'ont-ils pas été exposés clairement? quoi? Un [Coran] non-arabe et [un Messager] arabe?» Dis: «Pour ceux qui croient, il est une guidée et une guérison». Et quant à ceux qui ne croient pas, il y a une surdité dans leurs oreilles et ils sont frappés d'aveuglement en ce qui le concerne; ceux-là sont appelés d'un endroit lointain.

Had We sent this as a Qur'an (in the language) other than Arabic, they would have said: "Why are not its verses explained in detail? What! (a Book) not in Arabic and (a Messenger an Arab?" Say: "It is a Guide and a Healing to those who believe; and for those who believe not, there is a deafness in their ears, and it is blindness in their (eyes): They are (as it were) being called from a place far distant!"

وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَا مُوسَى الْكِتَٰبَ فَاخْتُلِفَ فِيهِ ۗ وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِن رَّبِّكَ لَقُضِىَ بَيْنَهُمْ ۚ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَفِى شَكٍّ مِّنْهُ مُرِيبٍ[45]

Walaqad atayna moosa alkitaba faikhtulifa feehi walawla kalimatun sabaqat min rabbika laqudiya baynahum wainnahum lafee shakkin minhu mureebin

Nous avons effectivement donné à Moïse le Livre. Puis, il y eut controverse là-dessus. Et si ce n'était une parole préalable de ton Seigneur, on aurait certainement tranché entre eux. Ils sont vraiment, à son sujet, dans un doute troublant.

We certainly gave Moses the Book aforetime: but disputes arose therein. Had it not been for a Word that went forth before from thy Lord, (their differences) would have been settled between them: but they remained in suspicious disquieting doubt thereon.

مَّنْ عَمِلَ صَٰلِحًا فَلِنَفْسِهِۦ ۖ وَمَنْ أَسَآءَ فَعَلَيْهَا ۗ وَمَا رَبُّكَ بِظَلَّٰمٍ لِّلْعَبِيدِ[46]

Man AAamila salihan falinafsihi waman asaa faAAalayha wama rabbuka bithallamin lilAAabeedi

Quiconque fait une bonne œuvre, c'est pour son bien. Et quiconque fait le mal, il le fait à ses dépens. Ton Seigneur, cependant, n'est point injuste envers les serviteurs.

Whoever works righteousness benefits his own soul; whoever works evil, it is against his own soul: nor is thy Lord ever unjust (in the least) to His Servants.

۞ إِلَيْهِ يُرَدُّ عِلْمُ السَّاعَةِ ۚ وَمَا تَخْرُجُ مِن ثَمَرَٰتٍ مِّنْ أَكْمَامِهَا وَمَا تَحْمِلُ مِنْ أُنثَىٰ وَلَا تَضَعُ إِلَّا بِعِلْمِهِۦ ۚ وَيَوْمَ يُنَادِيهِمْ أَيْنَ شُرَكَآءِى قَالُوٓا۟ ءَاذَنَّٰكَ مَا مِنَّا مِن شَهِيدٍ[47]

Ilayhi yuraddu AAilmu alssaAAati wama takhruju min thamaratin min akmamiha wama tahmilu min ontha wala tadaAAu illa biAAilmihi wayawma yunadeehim ayna shurakaee qaloo athannaka ma minna min shaheedin

A Lui revient la connaissance de l'Heure. Aucun fruit ne sort de son enveloppe, aucune femelle ne conçoit ni ne met bas sans qu'Il n'en ait connaissance. Et le jour où Il les appellera: «Où sont Mes associés?», ils diront: «Nous Te déclarons qu'il n'y a point de témoin parmi nous»!

To Him is referred the Knowledge of the Hour (of Judgment: He knows all): No date-fruit comes out of its sheath, nor does a female conceive (within her womb) nor bring forth the Day that (Allah) will propound to them the (question), "Where are the partners (ye attributed to Me?" They will say, "We do assure thee not one of us can bear witness!"

وَضَلَّ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَدْعُونَ مِن قَبْلُ ۖ وَظَنُّوا۟ مَا لَهُم مِّن مَّحِيصٍ[48]

Wadalla AAanhum ma kanoo yadAAoona min qablu wathannoo ma lahum min maheesin

Et ce qu'auparavant ils invoquaient les délaissera; et ils réaliseront qu'ils n'ont point d'échappatoire.

The (deities) they used to invoke aforetime will leave them in the lurch, and they will perceive that they have no way of escape.

لَّا يَسْـَٔمُ الْإِنسَٰنُ مِن دُعَآءِ الْخَيْرِ وَإِن مَّسَّهُ الشَّرُّ فَيَـُٔوسٌ قَنُوطٌ[49]

La yasamu alinsanu min duAAai alkhayri wain massahu alshsharru fayaoosun qanootun

L'homme ne se lasse pas d'implorer le bien. Si le mal le touche, le voilà désespéré, désemparé.

Man does not weary of asking for good (things), but if ill touches him, he gives up all hope (and) is lost in despair.

وَلَئِنْ أَذَقْنَٰهُ رَحْمَةً مِّنَّا مِنۢ بَعْدِ ضَرَّآءَ مَسَّتْهُ لَيَقُولَنَّ هَٰذَا لِى وَمَآ أَظُنُّ السَّاعَةَ قَآئِمَةً وَلَئِن رُّجِعْتُ إِلَىٰ رَبِّىٓ إِنَّ لِى عِندَهُۥ لَلْحُسْنَىٰ ۚ فَلَنُنَبِّئَنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بِمَا عَمِلُوا۟ وَلَنُذِيقَنَّهُم مِّنْ عَذَابٍ غَلِيظٍ[50]

Walain athaqnahu rahmatan minna min baAAdi darraa massathu layaqoolanna hatha lee wama athunnu alssaAAata qaimatan walain rujiAAtu ila rabbee inna lee AAindahu lalhusna falanunabbianna allatheena kafaroo bima AAamiloo walanutheeqannahum min AAathabin ghaleethin

Et si nous lui faisons goûter une miséricorde de Notre part, après qu'une détresse l'ait touché, il dit certainement: «Cela m'est dû! Et je ne pense pas que l'Heure se lèvera [un jour]. Et si je suis ramené vers mon Seigneur, je trouverai, près de Lui, la plus belle part». Nous informerons ceux qui ont mécru de ce qu'ils ont fait et Nous leur ferons sûrement goûter à un dur châtiment.

When we give him a taste of some Mercy from Ourselves, after some adversity has touched him, he is sure to say, "This is due to my (merit): I think not that the Hour (of Judgment) will (ever) be established; but if I am brought back to my Lord, I have (much) good (stored) in His sight!" But We will show the Unbelievers the truth of all that they did, and We shall give them the taste of a severe Penalty.

وَإِذَآ أَنْعَمْنَا عَلَى الْإِنسَٰنِ أَعْرَضَ وَنَـَٔا بِجَانِبِهِۦ وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ الشَّرُّ فَذُو دُعَآءٍ عَرِيضٍ[51]

Waitha anAAamna AAala alinsani aAArada wanaa bijanibihi waitha massahu alshsharru fathoo duAAain AAareedin

Quand Nous comblons de bienfaits l'homme, il s'esquive et s'éloigne. Et quand un malheur le touche, il se livre alors à une longue prière.

When We bestow favours on man, he turns away, and gets himself remote on his side (instead of coming to Us); and when evil seizes him, (he comes) full of prolonged prayer!

قُلْ أَرَءَيْتُمْ إِن كَانَ مِنْ عِندِ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ كَفَرْتُم بِهِۦ مَنْ أَضَلُّ مِمَّنْ هُوَ فِى شِقَاقٍۭ بَعِيدٍ[52]

Qul araaytum in kana min AAindi Allahi thumma kafartum bihi man adallu mimman huwa fee shiqaqin baAAeedin

Dis: «Voyez-vous? Si ceci (le Coran) émane d'Allah et qu'ensuite vous le reniez; qui se trouvera plus égaré que celui qui s'éloigne dans la dissidence?»

Say: "See ye if the (Revelation) is (really) from Allah, and yet do ye reject it? Who is more astray than one who is in a schism far (from any purpose)?"

سَنُرِيهِمْ ءَايَٰتِنَا فِى الْءَافَاقِ وَفِىٓ أَنفُسِهِمْ حَتَّىٰ يَتَبَيَّنَ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ ۗ أَوَلَمْ يَكْفِ بِرَبِّكَ أَنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ شَهِيدٌ[53]

Sanureehim ayatina fee alafaqi wafee anfusihim hatta yatabayyana lahum annahu alhaqqu awalam yakfi birabbika annahu AAala kulli shayin shaheedun

Nous leur montrerons Nos signes dans l'univers et en eux-mêmes, jusqu'à ce qu'il leur devienne évident que c'est cela (le Coran), la vérité. Ne suffit-il pas que ton Seigneur soit témoin de toute chose?

Soon will We show them our Signs in the (furthest) regions (of the earth), and in their own souls, until it becomes manifest to them that this is the Truth. Is it not enough that thy Lord doth witness all things?

أَلَآ إِنَّهُمْ فِى مِرْيَةٍ مِّن لِّقَآءِ رَبِّهِمْ ۗ أَلَآ إِنَّهُۥ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ مُّحِيطٌۢ[54]

Ala innahum fee miryatin min liqai rabbihim ala innahu bikulli shayin muheetun

Ils sont dans le doute, n'est-ce pas, au sujet de la rencontre de leur Seigneur? C'est Lui certes qui embrasse toute chose (par Sa science et Sa puissance).

Ah indeed! Are they in doubt concerning the Meeting with their Lord? Ah indeed! It is He that doth encompass all things!
