تَنزِيلُ الْكِتَٰبِ مِنَ اللَّهِ الْعَزِيزِ الْحَكِيمِ[2]

Tanzeelu alkitabi mina Allahi alAAazeezi alhakeemi

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

The Revelation of the Book is from Allah the Exalted in Power, Full of Wisdom.

مَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَأَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ۚ وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ عَمَّآ أُنذِرُوا۟ مُعْرِضُونَ[3]

Ma khalaqna alssamawati waalarda wama baynahuma illa bialhaqqi waajalin musamman waallatheena kafaroo AAamma onthiroo muAAridoona

Nous n'avons créé les cieux et la terre et ce qui est entre eux qu'en toute vérité et [pour] un terme fixé. Ceux qui ont mécru se détournent de ce dont ils ont été avertis.

We created not the heavens and the earth and all between them but for just ends, and for a Term Appointed: But those who reject Faith turn away from that whereof they are warned.

قُلْ أَرَءَيْتُم مَّا تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ أَرُونِى مَاذَا خَلَقُوا۟ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ أَمْ لَهُمْ شِرْكٌ فِى السَّمَٰوَٰتِ ۖ ائْتُونِى بِكِتَٰبٍ مِّن قَبْلِ هَٰذَآ أَوْ أَثَٰرَةٍ مِّنْ عِلْمٍ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ[4]

Qul araaytum ma tadAAoona min dooni Allahi aroonee matha khalaqoo mina alardi am lahum shirkun fee alssamawati eetoonee bikitabin min qabli hatha aw atharatin min AAilmin in kuntum sadiqeena

Dis: «Que pensez-vous de ceux que vous invoquez en dehors d'Allah? Montrez-moi donc ce qu'ils ont créé de la terre! Ou ont-ils dans les cieux une participation avec Dieu? Apportez-moi un Livre antérieur à celui-ci (le Coran) ou même un vestige d'une science, si vous êtes véridiques».

Say: "Do ye see what it is ye invoke besides Allah? Show me what it is they have created on earth, or have they a share in the heavens bring me a book (revealed) before this, or any remnant of knowledge (ye may have), if ye are telling the truth!

وَمَنْ أَضَلُّ مِمَّن يَدْعُوا۟ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ مَن لَّا يَسْتَجِيبُ لَهُۥٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ الْقِيَٰمَةِ وَهُمْ عَن دُعَآئِهِمْ غَٰفِلُونَ[5]

Waman adallu mimman yadAAoo min dooni Allahi man la yastajeebu lahu ila yawmi alqiyamati wahum AAan duAAaihim ghafiloona

Et qui est plus égaré que celui qui invoque en dehors d'Allah, et que la vie ne saura lui répondre jusqu'au Jour de la Résurrection? Et elles [leurs divinités] sont indifférentes à leur invocation.

And who is more astray than one who invokes besides Allah, such as will not answer him to the Day of Judgment, and who (in fact) are unconscious of their call (to them)?

وَإِذَا حُشِرَ النَّاسُ كَانُوا۟ لَهُمْ أَعْدَآءً وَكَانُوا۟ بِعِبَادَتِهِمْ كَٰفِرِينَ[6]

Waitha hushira alnnasu kanoo lahum aAAdaan wakanoo biAAibadatihim kafireena

Et quand les gens seront rassemblés [pour le Jugement] elles seront leurs ennemies et nieront leur adoration [pour elles].

And when mankind are gathered together (at the Resurrection), they will be hostile to them and reject their worship (altogether)!

وَإِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَٰتُنَا بَيِّنَٰتٍ قَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لِلْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَآءَهُمْ هَٰذَا سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ[7]

Waitha tutla AAalayhim ayatuna bayyinatin qala allatheena kafaroo lilhaqqi lamma jaahum hatha sihrun mubeenun

Et quand on leur récite Nos versets bien clairs, ceux qui ont mécru disent à propos de la vérité, une fois venue à eux: «C'est de la magie manifeste».

When Our Clear Signs are rehearsed to them, the Unbelievers say, of the Truth when it comes to them: "This is evident sorcery!"

أَمْ يَقُولُونَ افْتَرَىٰهُ ۖ قُلْ إِنِ افْتَرَيْتُهُۥ فَلَا تَمْلِكُونَ لِى مِنَ اللَّهِ شَيْـًٔا ۖ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا تُفِيضُونَ فِيهِ ۖ كَفَىٰ بِهِۦ شَهِيدًۢا بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَكُمْ ۖ وَهُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ[8]

Am yaqooloona iftarahu qul ini iftaraytuhu fala tamlikoona lee mina Allahi shayan huwa aAAlamu bima tufeedoona feehi kafa bihi shaheedan baynee wabaynakum wahuwa alghafooru alrraheemu

Ou bien ils disent: «Il l'a inventé!» Dis: «Si je l'ai inventé alors vous ne pourrez rien pour moi contre [la punition] d'Allah. Il sait parfaitement ce que vous propagez (en calomnies contre le Coran): Allah est suffisant comme témoin entre moi et vous. Et c'est Lui le Pardonneur, le Très Miséricordieux».

Or do they say, "He has forged it"? Say: "Had I forged it, then can ye obtain no single (blessing) for me from Allah. He knows best of that whereof ye talk (so glibly)! Enough is He for a witness between me and you! And he is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."

قُلْ مَا كُنتُ بِدْعًا مِّنَ الرُّسُلِ وَمَآ أَدْرِى مَا يُفْعَلُ بِى وَلَا بِكُمْ ۖ إِنْ أَتَّبِعُ إِلَّا مَا يُوحَىٰٓ إِلَىَّ وَمَآ أَنَا۠ إِلَّا نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ[9]

Qul ma kuntu bidAAan mina alrrusuli wama adree ma yufAAalu bee wala bikum in attabiAAu illa ma yooha ilayya wama ana illa natheerun mubeenun

Dis: «Je ne suis pas une innovation parmi les messagers; et je ne sais pas ce que l'on fera de moi, ni de vous. Je ne fais que suivre ce qui m'est révélé; et je ne suis qu'un avertisseur clair».

Say: "I am no bringer of new-fangled doctrine among the messengers, nor do I know what will be done with me or with you. I follow but that which is revealed to me by inspiration; I am but a Warner open and clear."

قُلْ أَرَءَيْتُمْ إِن كَانَ مِنْ عِندِ اللَّهِ وَكَفَرْتُم بِهِۦ وَشَهِدَ شَاهِدٌ مِّنۢ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ عَلَىٰ مِثْلِهِۦ فَـَٔامَنَ وَاسْتَكْبَرْتُمْ ۖ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِى الْقَوْمَ الظَّٰلِمِينَ[10]

Qul araaytum in kana min AAindi Allahi wakafartum bihi washahida shahidun min banee israeela AAala mithlihi faamana waistakbartum inna Allaha la yahdee alqawma alththalimeena

Dis: «Que direz-vous si [cette révélation s'avère] venir d'Allah et que vous n'y croyez pas qu'un témoin parmi les fils d'Israël en atteste la conformité [au Pentateuque] et y croit pendant que vous, vous le repoussez avec orgueil... En vérité Allah ne guide pas les gens injustes!»

Say: "See ye? If (this teaching) be from Allah, and ye reject it, and a witness from among the Children of Israel testifies to its similarity (with earlier scripture), and has believed while ye are arrogant, (how unjust ye are!) truly, Allah guides not a people unjust."

وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَوْ كَانَ خَيْرًا مَّا سَبَقُونَآ إِلَيْهِ ۚ وَإِذْ لَمْ يَهْتَدُوا۟ بِهِۦ فَسَيَقُولُونَ هَٰذَآ إِفْكٌ قَدِيمٌ[11]

Waqala allatheena kafaroo lillatheena amanoo law kana khayran ma sabaqoona ilayhi waith lam yahtadoo bihi fasayaqooloona hatha ifkun qadeemun

Et ceux qui ont mécru dirent à ceux qui ont cru: «Si ceci était un bien, ils (les pauvres) ne nous y auraient pas devancés». Et comme ils ne se seront pas laissés guider par lui ils diront: «Ce n'est qu'un vieux mensonge!»

The Unbelievers say of those who believe: "If (this Message) were a good thing, (such men) would not have gone to it first, before us!" And seeing that they guide not themselves thereby, they will say, "this is an (old,) falsehood!"

وَمِن قَبْلِهِۦ كِتَٰبُ مُوسَىٰٓ إِمَامًا وَرَحْمَةً ۚ وَهَٰذَا كِتَٰبٌ مُّصَدِّقٌ لِّسَانًا عَرَبِيًّا لِّيُنذِرَ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ وَبُشْرَىٰ لِلْمُحْسِنِينَ[12]

Wamin qablihi kitabu moosa imaman warahmatan wahatha kitabun musaddiqun lisanan AAarabiyyan liyunthira allatheena thalamoo wabushra lilmuhsineena

Et avant lui, il y avait le Livre de Moïse, comme guide et comme miséricorde. Et ceci est [un Livre] confirmateur, en langue arabe, pour avertir ceux qui font du tort et pour faire la bonne annonce aux bienfaisants

And before this, was the Book of Moses as a guide and a mercy: And this Book confirms (it) in the Arabic tongue; to admonish the unjust, and as Glad Tidings to those who do right.

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا۟ رَبُّنَا اللَّهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَقَٰمُوا۟ فَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ[13]

Inna allatheena qaloo rabbuna Allahu thumma istaqamoo fala khawfun AAalayhim wala hum yahzanoona

Ceux qui disent: «Notre Seigneur est Allah» et qui ensuite se tiennent sur le droit chemin. Ils ne doivent avoir aucune crainte et ne seront point affligés.

Verily those who say, "Our Lord is Allah," and remain firm (on that Path),- on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.

أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَٰبُ الْجَنَّةِ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا جَزَآءًۢ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ[14]

Olaika ashabu aljannati khalideena feeha jazaan bima kanoo yaAAmaloona

Ceux-là sont les gens du Paradis où ils demeureront éternellement, en récompense de ce qu'ils faisaient.

Such shall be Companions of the Gardens, dwelling therein (for aye): a recompense for their (good) deeds.

وَوَصَّيْنَا الْإِنسَٰنَ بِوَٰلِدَيْهِ إِحْسَٰنًا ۖ حَمَلَتْهُ أُمُّهُۥ كُرْهًا وَوَضَعَتْهُ كُرْهًا ۖ وَحَمْلُهُۥ وَفِصَٰلُهُۥ ثَلَٰثُونَ شَهْرًا ۚ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا بَلَغَ أَشُدَّهُۥ وَبَلَغَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً قَالَ رَبِّ أَوْزِعْنِىٓ أَنْ أَشْكُرَ نِعْمَتَكَ الَّتِىٓ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَىَّ وَعَلَىٰ وَٰلِدَىَّ وَأَنْ أَعْمَلَ صَٰلِحًا تَرْضَىٰهُ وَأَصْلِحْ لِى فِى ذُرِّيَّتِىٓ ۖ إِنِّى تُبْتُ إِلَيْكَ وَإِنِّى مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ[15]

Et Nous avons enjoint à l'homme de la bonté envers ses père et mère: sa mère l'a péniblement porté et en a péniblement accouché; et sa gestation et sevrage durent trente mois; puis quand il atteint ses pleines forces et atteint quarante ans, il dit: «O Seigneur! Inspire-moi pour que je rende grâce au bienfait dont Tu m'as comblé ainsi qu'à mes père et mère, et pour que je fasse une bonne œuvre que Tu agrées. Et fais que ma postérité soit de moralité saine. Je me repens à Toi et je suis du nombre des Soumis».

We have enjoined on man kindness to his parents: In pain did his mother bear him, and in pain did she give him birth. The carrying of the (child) to his weaning is (a period of) thirty months. At length, when he reaches the age of full strength and attains forty years, he says, "O my Lord! Grant me that I may be grateful for Thy favour which Thou has bestowed upon me, and upon both my parents, and that I may work righteousness such as Thou mayest approve; and be gracious to me in my issue. Truly have I turned to Thee and truly do I bow (to Thee) in Islam."

أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ الَّذِينَ نَتَقَبَّلُ عَنْهُمْ أَحْسَنَ مَا عَمِلُوا۟ وَنَتَجَاوَزُ عَن سَيِّـَٔاتِهِمْ فِىٓ أَصْحَٰبِ الْجَنَّةِ ۖ وَعْدَ الصِّدْقِ الَّذِى كَانُوا۟ يُوعَدُونَ[16]

Ce sont ceux-là dont Nous acceptons le meilleur de ce qu'ils œuvrent et passons sur leurs méfaits, (ils seront) parmi les gens du Paradis, selon la promesse véridique qui leur était faite.

Such are they from whom We shall accept the best of their deeds and pass by their ill deeds: (They shall be) among the Companions of the Garden: a promise! of truth, which was made to them (in this life).

وَالَّذِى قَالَ لِوَٰلِدَيْهِ أُفٍّ لَّكُمَآ أَتَعِدَانِنِىٓ أَنْ أُخْرَجَ وَقَدْ خَلَتِ الْقُرُونُ مِن قَبْلِى وَهُمَا يَسْتَغِيثَانِ اللَّهَ وَيْلَكَ ءَامِنْ إِنَّ وَعْدَ اللَّهِ حَقٌّ فَيَقُولُ مَا هَٰذَآ إِلَّآ أَسَٰطِيرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ[17]

Quant à celui qui dit à ses père et mère: «Fi de vous deux! Me promettez-vous qu'on me fera sortir de terre alors que des générations avant moi ont passé?» Et les deux, implorant le secours d'Allah, [lui dirent]: «Malheur à toi! Crois. Car la promesse d'Allah est véridique». Mais il (répond): «Ce ne sont que des contes d'Anciens».

But (there is one) who says to his parents, "Fie on you! Do ye hold out the promise to me that I shall be raised up, even though generations have passed before me (without rising again)?" And they two seek Allah's aid, (and rebuke the son): "Woe to thee! Have faith! for the promise of Allah is true." But he says, "This is nothing but tales of the ancients!"

أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ الَّذِينَ حَقَّ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقَوْلُ فِىٓ أُمَمٍ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّنَ الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنسِ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ خَٰسِرِينَ[18]

Olaika allatheena haqqa AAalayhimu alqawlu fee umamin qad khalat min qablihim mina aljinni waalinsi innahum kanoo khasireena

Ce sont ceux-là qui ont mérité la sentence [prescrite] en même temps que des communautés déjà passées avant eux parmi les djinns et les hommes. Ils étaient réellement perdants.

Such are they against whom is proved the sentence among the previous generations of Jinns and men, that have passed away; for they will be (utterly) lost.

وَلِكُلٍّ دَرَجَٰتٌ مِّمَّا عَمِلُوا۟ ۖ وَلِيُوَفِّيَهُمْ أَعْمَٰلَهُمْ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ[19]

Walikullin darajatun mimma AAamiloo waliyuwaffiyahum aAAmalahum wahum la yuthlamoona

Et il y a des rangs [de mérite] pour chacun, selon ce qu'ils ont fait afin qu'Allah leur attribue la pleine récompense de leurs œuvres; et ils ne seront point lésés.

And to all are (assigned) degrees according to the deeds which they (have done), and in order that (Allah) may recompense their deeds, and no injustice be done to them.

وَيَوْمَ يُعْرَضُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ عَلَى النَّارِ أَذْهَبْتُمْ طَيِّبَٰتِكُمْ فِى حَيَاتِكُمُ الدُّنْيَا وَاسْتَمْتَعْتُم بِهَا فَالْيَوْمَ تُجْزَوْنَ عَذَابَ الْهُونِ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَسْتَكْبِرُونَ فِى الْأَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ وَبِمَا كُنتُمْ تَفْسُقُونَ[20]

Et le jour où ceux qui ont mécru seront présentés au Feu (il leur sera dit): «Vous avez dissipé vos [biens] excellents et vous en avez joui pleinement durant votre vie sur terre: on vous rétribue donc aujourd'hui du châtiment avilissant, pour l'orgueil dont vous vous enfliez injustement sur terre, et pour votre perversité.

And on the Day that the Unbelievers will be placed before the Fire, (It will be said to them): "Ye received your good things in the life of the world, and ye took your pleasure out of them: but today shall ye be recompensed with a Penalty of humiliation: for that ye were arrogant on earth without just cause, and that ye (ever) transgressed."

۞ وَاذْكُرْ أَخَا عَادٍ إِذْ أَنذَرَ قَوْمَهُۥ بِالْأَحْقَافِ وَقَدْ خَلَتِ النُّذُرُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِۦٓ أَلَّا تَعْبُدُوٓا۟ إِلَّا اللَّهَ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ[21]

Et rappelle-toi le frère des 'Aad (Hûd) quand il avertit son peuple à Al-Ahqâf - alors qu'avant et après lui, des avertisseurs sont passés - [en disant]: «N'adorez qu'Allah. Je crains pour vous le châtiment d'un jour terrible».

Mention (Hud) one of 'Ad's (own) brethren: Behold, he warned his people about the winding Sand-tracts: but there have been warners before him and after him: "Worship ye none other than Allah: Truly I fear for you the Penalty of a Mighty Day."

قَالُوٓا۟ أَجِئْتَنَا لِتَأْفِكَنَا عَنْ ءَالِهَتِنَا فَأْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَآ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ الصَّٰدِقِينَ[22]

Ils dirent: «Es-tu venu à nous pour nous détourner de nos divinités? Eh bien, apporte-nous ce que tu nous promets si tu es du nombre des véridiques».

They said: "Hast thou come in order to turn us aside from our gods? Then bring upon us the (calamity) with which thou dost threaten us, if thou art telling the truth?"

قَالَ إِنَّمَا الْعِلْمُ عِندَ اللَّهِ وَأُبَلِّغُكُم مَّآ أُرْسِلْتُ بِهِۦ وَلَٰكِنِّىٓ أَرَىٰكُمْ قَوْمًا تَجْهَلُونَ[23]

Il dit: «La science n'est qu'auprès d'Allah. Je vous transmets cependant le message avec lequel j'ai été envoyé. Mais je vois que vous êtes des gens ignorants».

He said: "The Knowledge (of when it will come) is only with Allah: I proclaim to you the mission on which I have been sent: But I see that ye are a people in ignorance!"..

فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهُ عَارِضًا مُّسْتَقْبِلَ أَوْدِيَتِهِمْ قَالُوا۟ هَٰذَا عَارِضٌ مُّمْطِرُنَا ۚ بَلْ هُوَ مَا اسْتَعْجَلْتُم بِهِۦ ۖ رِيحٌ فِيهَا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ[24]

Puis, voyant un nuage se dirigeant vers leurs vallées ils dirent; «Voici un nuage qui nous apporte de la pluie». Au contraire! c'est cela même que vous cherchiez à hâter: C'est un vent qui contient un châtiment douloureux,

Then, when they saw the (Penalty in the shape of) a cloud traversing the sky, coming to meet their valleys, they said, "This cloud will give us rain!" "Nay, it is the (Calamity) ye were asking to be hastened!- A wind wherein is a Grievous Penalty!

"Everything will it destroy by the command of its Lord!" Then by the morning they - nothing was to be seen but (the ruins of) their houses! thus do We recompense those given to sin!

En effet, Nous les avions consolidés dans des positions que Nous ne vous avons pas données. Et Nous leur avions assigné une ouïe, des yeux et des cœurs, mais ni leur ouïe, ni leurs yeux, ni leurs cœurs ne leur ont profité en quoi que ce soit, parce qu'ils niaient les signes d'Allah. Et ce dont ils se moquaient les cerna.

And We had firmly established them in a (prosperity and) power which We have not given to you (ye Quraish!) and We had endowed them with (faculties of) hearing, seeing, heart and intellect: but of no profit to them were their (faculties of) hearing, sight, and heart and intellect, when they went on rejecting the Signs of Allah; and they were (completely) encircled by that which they used to mock at!

وَلَقَدْ أَهْلَكْنَا مَا حَوْلَكُم مِّنَ الْقُرَىٰ وَصَرَّفْنَا الْءَايَٰتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ[27]

Nous avons assurément fait périr les cités autour de vous; et Nous avons diversifié les signes afin qu'ils reviennent (de leur mécréance).

We destroyed aforetime populations round about you; and We have shown the Signs in various ways, that they may turn (to Us).

فَلَوْلَا نَصَرَهُمُ الَّذِينَ اتَّخَذُوا۟ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ قُرْبَانًا ءَالِهَةًۢ ۖ بَلْ ضَلُّوا۟ عَنْهُمْ ۚ وَذَٰلِكَ إِفْكُهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ يَفْتَرُونَ[28]

Pourquoi donc ne les secourent pas, ceux qu'ils avaient pris, en dehors d'Allah, comme divinités pour [soi-disant] les rapprocher de Lui? Ceux-ci, au contraire, les abandonnèrent; telle est leur imposture et voilà ce qu'ils inventaient comme mensonges.

Why then was no help forthcoming to them from those whom they worshipped as gods, besides Allah, as a means of access (to Allah)? Nay, they left them in the lurch: but that was their falsehood and their invention.

وَإِذْ صَرَفْنَآ إِلَيْكَ نَفَرًا مِّنَ الْجِنِّ يَسْتَمِعُونَ الْقُرْءَانَ فَلَمَّا حَضَرُوهُ قَالُوٓا۟ أَنصِتُوا۟ ۖ فَلَمَّا قُضِىَ وَلَّوْا۟ إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِم مُّنذِرِينَ[29]

Behold, We turned towards thee a company of Jinns (quietly) listening to the Qur'an: when they stood in the presence thereof, they said, "Listen in silence!" When the (reading) was finished, they returned to their people, to warn (them of their sins).

قَالُوا۟ يَٰقَوْمَنَآ إِنَّا سَمِعْنَا كِتَٰبًا أُنزِلَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مُوسَىٰ مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ يَهْدِىٓ إِلَى الْحَقِّ وَإِلَىٰ طَرِيقٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ[30]

Qaloo ya qawmana inna samiAAna kitaban onzila min baAAdi moosa musaddiqan lima bayna yadayhi yahdee ila alhaqqi waila tareeqin mustaqeemin

Ils dirent: «O notre peuple! Nous venons d'entendre un Livre qui a été descendu après Moïse, confirmant ce qui l'a précédé. Il guide vers la vérité et vers un chemin droit.

They said, "O our people! We have heard a Book revealed after Moses, confirming what came before it: it guides (men) to the Truth and to a Straight Path.

يَٰقَوْمَنَآ أَجِيبُوا۟ دَاعِىَ اللَّهِ وَءَامِنُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَغْفِرْ لَكُم مِّن ذُنُوبِكُمْ وَيُجِرْكُم مِّنْ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ[31]

Ya qawmana ajeeboo daAAiya Allahi waaminoo bihi yaghfir lakum min thunoobikum wayujirkum min AAathabin aleemin

O notre peuple! Répondez au prédicateur d'Allah et croyez en lui. Il [Allah] vous pardonnera une partie de vos péchés et vous protègera contre un châtiment douloureux.

"O our people, hearken to the one who invites (you) to Allah, and believe in him: He will forgive you your faults, and deliver you from a Penalty Grievous.

وَمَن لَّا يُجِبْ دَاعِىَ اللَّهِ فَلَيْسَ بِمُعْجِزٍ فِى الْأَرْضِ وَلَيْسَ لَهُۥ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ أَوْلِيَآءُ ۚ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ فِى ضَلَٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ[32]

Waman la yujib daAAiya Allahi falaysa bimuAAjizin fee alardi walaysa lahu min doonihi awliyaa olaika fee dalalin mubeenin

Et quiconque ne répond pas au prédicateur d'Allah ne saura échapper au pouvoir [d'Allah] sur terre. Et il n'aura pas de protecteurs en dehors de Lui. Ceux-là sont dans un égarement évident.

"If any does not hearken to the one who invites (us) to Allah, he cannot frustrate (Allah's Plan) on earth, and no protectors can he have besides Allah: such men (wander) in manifest error."

أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ أَنَّ اللَّهَ الَّذِى خَلَقَ السَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَلَمْ يَعْىَ بِخَلْقِهِنَّ بِقَٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يُحْۦِىَ الْمَوْتَىٰ ۚ بَلَىٰٓ إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ[33]

Awalam yaraw anna Allaha allathee khalaqa alssamawati waalarda walam yaAAya bikhalqihinna biqadirin AAala an yuhyiya almawta bala innahu AAala kulli shayin qadeerun

Ne voient-ils pas qu'Allah qui a créé les cieux et la terre, et qui n'a pas été fatigué par leur création, est capable en vérité de redonner la vie aux morts? Mais si. Il est certes Omnipotent.

See they not that Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth, and never wearied with their creation, is able to give life to the dead? Yea, verily He has power over all things.

وَيَوْمَ يُعْرَضُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ عَلَى النَّارِ أَلَيْسَ هَٰذَا بِالْحَقِّ ۖ قَالُوا۟ بَلَىٰ وَرَبِّنَا ۚ قَالَ فَذُوقُوا۟ الْعَذَابَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَكْفُرُونَ[34]

Wayawma yuAAradu allatheena kafaroo AAala alnnari alaysa hatha bialhaqqi qaloo bala warabbina qala fathooqoo alAAathaba bima kuntum takfuroona

Et le jour où seront présentés au Feu ceux qui ont mécru (on leur dira): «Ceci n'est-il pas la vérité?» Ils diront: «Mais si, par notre Seigneur». Il dira: «Eh bien, goûtez le châtiment pour votre mécréance».

And on the Day that the Unbelievers will be placed before the Fire, (they will be asked,) "Is this not the Truth?" they will say, "Yea, by our Lord!" (One will say:) "Then taste ye the Penalty, for that ye were wont to deny (Truth)!"

فَاصْبِرْ كَمَا صَبَرَ أُو۟لُوا۟ الْعَزْمِ مِنَ الرُّسُلِ وَلَا تَسْتَعْجِل لَّهُمْ ۚ كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَ مَا يُوعَدُونَ لَمْ يَلْبَثُوٓا۟ إِلَّا سَاعَةً مِّن نَّهَارٍۭ ۚ بَلَٰغٌ ۚ فَهَلْ يُهْلَكُ إِلَّا الْقَوْمُ الْفَٰسِقُونَ[35]

Faisbir kama sabara oloo alAAazmi mina alrrusuli wala tastaAAjil lahum kaannahum yawma yarawna ma yooAAadoona lam yalbathoo illa saAAatan min naharin balaghun fahal yuhlaku illa alqawmu alfasiqoona

Endure (Muhammad) donc, comme ont enduré les messagers doués de fermeté; et ne te montre pas trop pressé de les voir subir [leur châtiment]. Le jour où ils verront ce qui leur est promis, il leur semblera qu'ils n'étaient restés [sur terre] qu'une heure d'un jour. Voilà une communication. Qui sera donc anéanti sinon les gens pervers?

Therefore patiently persevere, as did (all) messengers of inflexible purpose; and be in no haste about the (Unbelievers). On the Day that they see the (Punishment) promised them, (it will be) as if they had not tarried more than an hour in a single day. (Thine but) to proclaim the Message: but shall any be destroyed except those who transgress?
