وما يستوي الأعمى والبصير
19The blind one and the seer are not equal,
wa-mā yastawī l-ʾaʿmā wa-l-baṣīru
ولا الظلمات ولا النور
20nor darkness and light;
wa-lā ẓ-ẓulumātu wa-lā n-nūru
ولا الظل ولا الحرور
21nor shade and torrid heat;
wa-lā ẓ-ẓillu wa-lā l-ḥarūru
وما يستوي الأحياء ولا الأموات إن الله يسمع من يشاء وما أنت بمسمع من في القبور
22nor are the living equal to the dead. Indeed Allah makes whomever He wishes to hear, and you cannot make those who are in the graves hear you.
wa-mā yastawī l-ʾaḥyāʾu wa-lā l-ʾamwātu ʾinna llāha yusmiʿu man yashāʾu wa-mā ʾanta bi-musmiʿin man fī l-qubūri
إن أنت إلا نذير
23You are but a warner.
ʾin ʾanta ʾillā nadhīrun
إنا أرسلناك بالحق بشيرا ونذيرا وإن من أمة إلا خلا فيها نذير
24Indeed We have sent you with the truth as a bearer of good news and as a warner; and there is not a nation but a warner has passed in it.
ʾinnā ʾarsalnāka bi-l-ḥaqqi bashīran wa-nadhīran wa-ʾin min ʾummatin ʾillā khalā fīhā nadhīrun
وإن يكذبوك فقد كذب الذين من قبلهم جاءتهم رسلهم بالبينات وبالزبر وبالكتاب المنير
25If they impugn you, those before them have impugned [likewise]: their apostles brought them manifest proofs, [holy] writs, and illuminating scriptures.
wa-ʾin yukadhdhibūka fa-qad kadhdhaba lladhīna min qablihim jāʾathum rusuluhum bi-l-bayyināti wa-bi-z-zuburi wa-bi-l-kitābi l-munīri
ثم أخذت الذين كفروا فكيف كان نكير
26Then I seized the faithless. So how was My rebuttal!
thumma ʾakhadhtu lladhīna kafarū fa-kayfa kāna nakīri
ألم تر أن الله أنزل من السماء ماء فأخرجنا به ثمرات مختلفا ألوانها ومن الجبال جدد بيض وحمر مختلف ألوانها وغرابيب سود
27Have you not regarded that Allah sends down water from the sky, with which We produce fruits of diverse hues. And in the mountains are stripes, white and red, of diverse hues, and [others] pitch black?
ʾa-lam tara ʾanna llāha ʾanzala mina s-samāʾi māʾan fa-ʾakhrajnā bihī thamarātin mukhtalifan ʾalwānuhā wa-mina l-jibāli judadun bīḍun wa-ḥumrun mukhtalifun ʾalwānuhā wa-gharābību sūdun
ومن الناس والدواب والأنعام مختلف ألوانه كذلك إنما يخشى الله من عباده العلماء إن الله عزيز غفور
28And of humans and beasts and cattle there are likewise diverse hues. Only those of Allah’s servants having knowledge fear Him. Indeed Allah is all-mighty, all-forgiving.
wa-mina n-nāsi wa-d-dawābbi wa-l-ʾanʿāmi mukhtalifun ʾalwānuhū ka-dhālika ʾinnamā yakhshā llāha min ʿibādihi l-ʿulamāʾu ʾinna llāha ʿazīzun ghafūrun
إن الذين يتلون كتاب الله وأقاموا الصلاة وأنفقوا مما رزقناهم سرا وعلانية يرجون تجارة لن تبور
29Indeed those who recite the Book of Allah and maintain the prayer, and spend secretly and openly out of what We have provided them, expect a commerce that will never go bankrupt,
ʾinna lladhīna yatlūna kitāba llāhi wa-ʾaqāmū ṣ-ṣalāta wa-ʾanfaqū mimmā razaqnāhum sirran wa-ʿalāniyatan yarjūna tijāratan lan tabūra
ليوفيهم أجورهم ويزيدهم من فضله إنه غفور شكور
30so that He may pay them their full reward and enhance them out of His bounty. Indeed He is all-forgiving, all-appreciative.
li-yuwaffiyahum ʾujūrahum wa-yazīdahum min faḍlihī ʾinnahū ghafūrun shakūrun
