بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
۞ أَوْفُوا۟ ٱلْكَيْلَ وَلَا تَكُونُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْمُخْسِرِينَ
Awful kaila wa laa takoonoo minal mukhsireen
Fill up the measure and do not diminish the goods of people,
وَزِنُوا۟ بِٱلْقِسْطَاسِ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمِ
Wa zinoo bilqistaasil mustaqeem
weigh with an even balance
وَلَا تَبْخَسُوا۟ ٱلنَّاسَ أَشْيَآءَهُمْ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ
Wa laa tabkhasun naasa ashyaaa 'ahum wa laa ta'saw fil ardi mufsideen
and do not deliver short, and do not go about creating mischief in the land,
وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكُمْ وَٱلْجِبِلَّةَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
Wattaqul lazee khalaqakum waljibillatal awwaleen
and have fear of Him Who created you and the earlier generations."
قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَحَّرِينَ
Qaalooo innamaa anta minal musahhareen
They said: "You are no more than one of those who have been bewitched,
وَمَآ أَنتَ إِلَّا بَشَرٌۭ مِّثْلُنَا وَإِن نَّظُنُّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلْكَٰذِبِينَ
Wa maaa anta illaa basharum mislunaa wa innazunnuka laminal kaazibeen
you are only a mortal like us. Indeed we believe that you are an utter liar.
فَأَسْقِطْ عَلَيْنَا كِسَفًۭا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ
Fa asqit 'alainaa kisafam minas samaaa'i in kunta minas saadiqeen
So cause a piece of the sky to fall upon us if you are truthful."
قَالَ رَبِّىٓ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ
Qaala Rabbeee a'lamu bimaa ta'maloon
Shuayb said: "My Lord knows well all what you do."
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَهُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمِ ٱلظُّلَّةِ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ
Fakazzaboohu fa akhazahum 'azaabu Yawmiz zullah; innahoo kaana 'azaaba Yawmin 'Azeem
Then they branded him a liar, whereupon the chastisement of the Day of Canopy overtook them. It was the chastisement of a very awesome day.
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
Inna fee zaalika la Aayah; wa maa kaana aksaruhum mu'mineen
Surely there is a Sign in this, but most of them would not believe.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
Wa inna Rabbaka la huwal 'Azeezur Raheem
Verily Your Lord is Immensely Mighty, Most Compassionate.
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَنزِيلُ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
Wa innahoo latanzeelu Rabbil 'aalameen
Indeed this is a revelation from the Lord of the Universe;
نَزَلَ بِهِ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلْأَمِينُ
Nazala bihir Roohul Ameen
which the truthful spirit has carried down
عَلَىٰ قَلْبِكَ لِتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُنذِرِينَ
'Alaa qalbika litakoona minal munzireen
to your heart that you might become one of those who warn (others on behalf of Allah),
بِلِسَانٍ عَرَبِىٍّۢ مُّبِينٍۢ
Bilisaanin 'Arabiyyim mubeen
(a revelation) in clear Arabic language,
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَفِى زُبُرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
Wa innahoo lafee Zuburil awwaleen
(a revelation embodied) in the scriptures of the ancients.
أَوَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُمْ ءَايَةً أَن يَعْلَمَهُۥ عُلَمَٰٓؤُا۟ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ
Awalam yakul lahum Aayatan ai ya'lamahoo 'ulamaaa'u Baneee Israaa'eel
Is it not a Sign to them - (to wit, the Makkans) - that the learned men of the Children of Israel know that?
وَلَوْ نَزَّلْنَٰهُ عَلَىٰ بَعْضِ ٱلْأَعْجَمِينَ
Wa law nazzalnaahu 'alaa ba'dil a'jameen
(But such is their adamance) that had We revealed it to one of the non-Arabs and even if he had recited (this clear Arabic discourse) to them
فَقَرَأَهُۥ عَلَيْهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ مُؤْمِنِينَ
Faqara ahoo 'alaihim maa kaanoo bihee mu'mineen
they would still not have believed in it.
كَذَٰلِكَ سَلَكْنَٰهُ فِى قُلُوبِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ
Kazaalika salaknaahu fee quloobil mujrimeen
Thus have We caused this (Admonition) to penetrate the hearts of the culprits (like a hot rod).
لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِۦ حَتَّىٰ يَرَوُا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَلِيمَ
Laa yu'minoona bihee hattaa yarawul 'azaabal aleem
They will not believe in it until they clearly see the grievous chastisement.
فَيَأْتِيَهُم بَغْتَةًۭ وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ
Fayaatiyahum baghtatanw wa hum laa yash'uroon
But when it comes upon them suddenly, taking them unawares,
فَيَقُولُوا۟ هَلْ نَحْنُ مُنظَرُونَ
Fa yaqooloo hal nahnu munzaroon
they say: "Can we be granted some respite?"
أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ
Aafabi 'azaabinaa yasta'jiloon
Do they really want Our chastisement to be expedited?
أَفَرَءَيْتَ إِن مَّتَّعْنَٰهُمْ سِنِينَ
Aara'aita im matta'naahum sineen
Did you consider that if We were to let them enjoy life for many years
ثُمَّ جَآءَهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُوعَدُونَ
Summa jaaa'ahum maa kaanoo yoo'adoon
and then the chastisement of which they were being warned were to come upon them,
مَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُمَتَّعُونَ
Maaa aghnaaa 'anhum maa kaanoo yumaatoo'oon
of what avail will be the provisions of life which they have been granted to enjoy?
وَمَآ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا لَهَا مُنذِرُونَ
Wa maaa ahlaknaa min qaryatin illaa lahaa munziroon
We never destroyed any habitation but that it had warners
ذِكْرَىٰ وَمَا كُنَّا ظَٰلِمِينَ
Zikraa wa maa kunnaa zaalimeen
to admonish them. We have never been unjust.
وَمَا تَنَزَّلَتْ بِهِ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينُ
Wa maa tanazzalat bihish Shayaateen
The satans did not bring down this (Clear Book),
Meccan
