18
إِنَّهُۥ فَكَّرَ وَقَدَّرَ
For he reflected and plotted [against the Qur’an][6].
Аят :
19
فَقُتِلَ كَيۡفَ قَدَّرَ
May he perish, how he plotted!
Аят :
20
ثُمَّ قُتِلَ كَيۡفَ قَدَّرَ
Again, may he perish, how he plotted!
Аят :
21
ثُمَّ نَظَرَ
Then he looked around,
Аят :
22
ثُمَّ عَبَسَ وَبَسَرَ
then he frowned and scowled,
Аят :
23
ثُمَّ أَدۡبَرَ وَٱسۡتَكۡبَرَ
then turned away with arrogance,
Аят :
24
فَقَالَ إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحۡرٞ يُؤۡثَرُ
then said, “This is nothing but magic from the past.
Аят :
25
إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا قَوۡلُ ٱلۡبَشَرِ
This is nothing but the words of a man.”
Аят :
26
سَأُصۡلِيهِ سَقَرَ
Soon I will make him burn in the Scorching Fire[7].
Аят :
27
وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا سَقَرُ
How do you know what Scorching Fire is?
Аят :
28
لَا تُبۡقِي وَلَا تَذَرُ
It leaves nothing and spares no one,
Аят :
29
لَوَّاحَةٞ لِّلۡبَشَرِ
scorching the skin.
Аят :
30
عَلَيۡهَا تِسۡعَةَ عَشَرَ
It is overseen by nineteen [angels].
Аят :
31
وَمَا جَعَلۡنَآ أَصۡحَٰبَ ٱلنَّارِ إِلَّا مَلَٰٓئِكَةٗۖ وَمَا جَعَلۡنَا عِدَّتَهُمۡ إِلَّا فِتۡنَةٗ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لِيَسۡتَيۡقِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَيَزۡدَادَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِيمَٰنٗا وَلَا يَرۡتَابَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ وَلِيَقُولَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٞ وَٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ مَاذَآ أَرَادَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَٰذَا مَثَلٗاۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَهۡدِي مَن يَشَآءُۚ وَمَا يَعۡلَمُ جُنُودَ رَبِّكَ إِلَّا هُوَۚ وَمَا هِيَ إِلَّا ذِكۡرَىٰ لِلۡبَشَرِ
We have only appointed angels as keepers of the Fire, and We have only made their number as a test for the disbelievers[8], so that those who were given the Scripture may have certainty and the believers may increase in faith; and neither those who were given the Scripture nor the believers may have any doubts; and so that those [hypocrites] in whose hearts is sickness and the disbelievers may say, “What does Allah mean by this number?” Thus Allah causes to stray whom He wills and guides whom He wills, and none knows the soldiers of your Lord but He. This is but a reminder to mankind.

كَلَّا وَٱلۡقَمَرِ

Аят :
34
وَٱلصُّبۡحِ إِذَآ أَسۡفَرَ
and by the dawn when it brightens,
Аят :
35
إِنَّهَا لَإِحۡدَى ٱلۡكُبَرِ
Hellfire is indeed one of the greatest matters,
Аят :
36
نَذِيرٗا لِّلۡبَشَرِ
a warning to mankind,
Аят :
37
لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمۡ أَن يَتَقَدَّمَ أَوۡ يَتَأَخَّرَ
to whoever among you chooses to advance or regress.
Аят :
38
كُلُّ نَفۡسِۭ بِمَا كَسَبَتۡ رَهِينَةٌ

39
إِلَّآ أَصۡحَٰبَ ٱلۡيَمِينِ

Аят :
40
فِي جَنَّٰتٖ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ

Аят :
41
عَنِ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ
about the wicked:
Аят :
42
مَا سَلَكَكُمۡ فِي سَقَرَ
“What brought you to Hell?”
Аят :
43
قَالُواْ لَمۡ نَكُ مِنَ ٱلۡمُصَلِّينَ
They will say, “We were not among those who prayed,
Аят :
44
وَلَمۡ نَكُ نُطۡعِمُ ٱلۡمِسۡكِينَ
nor did we feed the poor,
Аят :
45
وَكُنَّا نَخُوضُ مَعَ ٱلۡخَآئِضِينَ
and we indulged in falsehood along with those who indulged in it,
Аят :
46
وَكُنَّا نُكَذِّبُ بِيَوۡمِ ٱلدِّينِ
and we denied the Day of Judgment,
Аят :
47
حَتَّىٰٓ أَتَىٰنَا ٱلۡيَقِينُ
until the certainty [of death] came to us.”
