وَٱلْكِتَـٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ ٢
Wal-kitābil-mubīn(i).
By the clear Book,
إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَـٰهُ فِى لَيْلَةٍ مُّبَـٰرَكَةٍ ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُنذِرِينَ ٣
Innā anzalnāhu fī lailatim mubārakatin innā kunnā munżirīn(a).
Indeed, We sent it down during a blessed night. Indeed, We were to warn [mankind].
فِيهَا يُفْرَقُ كُلُّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ ٤
Fīhā yufraqu kullu amrin ḥakīm(in).
Therein [i.e., on that night] is made distinct every precise matter -

Amram min ‘indinā, innā kunnā mursilīn(a).
[Every] matter [proceeding] from Us. Indeed, We were to send [a messenger]

Raḥmatam mir rabbik(a), innahū huwas-samī‘ul-‘alīm(u).
As mercy from your Lord. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing,

Rabbis-samāwāti wal-arḍi wa mā bainahumā, in kuntum mūqinīn(a).
Lord of the heavens and the earth and that between them, if you would be certain.
لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يُحْىِۦ وَيُمِيتُ ۖ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ٨
Lā ilāha illā huwa yuḥyī wa yumīt(u), rabbukum wa rabbu ābā'ikumul-awwalīn(a).
There is no deity except Him; He gives life and causes death. [He is] your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers.
بَلْ هُمْ فِى شَكٍّ يَلْعَبُونَ ٩
Bal hum fī syakkiy yal‘abūn(a).
But they are in doubt, amusing themselves.
فَٱرْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِى ٱلسَّمَآءُ بِدُخَانٍ مُّبِينٍ ١٠
Fartaqib yauma ta'tis-samā'u bidukhānim mubīn(in).
Then watch for the Day when the sky will bring a visible smoke

Yagsyan-nās(a), hāżā ‘ażābun alīm(un).
Covering the people; this is a painful torment.

Rabbanaksyif ‘annal-‘ażāba innā mu'minūn(a).
[They will say], "Our Lord, remove from us the torment; indeed, we are believers."
أَنَّىٰ لَهُمُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ وَقَدْ جَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ مُّبِينٌ ١٣
Annā lahumuż-żikrā wa qad jā'ahum rasūlum mubīn(un).
How will there be for them a reminder [at that time]? And there had come to them a clear Messenger.
ثُمَّ تَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ وَقَالُوا۟ مُعَلَّمٌ مَّجْنُونٌ ١٤
Ṡumma tawallau ‘anhu wa qālū mu‘allamum majnūn(un).
Then they turned away from him and said, "[He was] taught [and is] a madman."
إِنَّا كَاشِفُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ قَلِيلًا ۚ إِنَّكُمْ عَآئِدُونَ ١٥
Innā kāsyiful-‘ażābi qalīlan innakum ‘ā'idūn(a).
Indeed, We will remove the torment for a little. Indeed, you [disbelievers] will return [to disbelief].

Wa laqad fatannā qablahum qauma fir‘auna wa jā'ahum rasūlun karīm(un).
And We had already tried before them the people of Pharaoh, and there came to them a noble messenger [i.e., Moses],
أَنْ أَدُّوٓا۟ إِلَىَّ عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ ١٨
An addū ilayya ‘ibādallāh(i), innī lakum rasūlun amīn(un).
[Saying], "Render to me the servants of Allāh. Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger,"

[Allāh said], "Then set out with My servants by night. Indeed, you are to be pursued.
وَٱتْرُكِ ٱلْبَحْرَ رَهْوًا ۖ إِنَّهُمْ جُندٌ مُّغْرَقُونَ ٢٤
Watrukil-baḥra rahwā(n), innahum jundum mugraqūn(a).

Każālik(a), wa auraṡnāhā qauman ākharīn(a).
Thus. And We caused to inherit it another people.
فَمَا بَكَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُنظَرِينَ ٢٩
Famā bakat ‘alaihimus-samā'u wal-arḍ(u), wa mā kānū munẓarīn(a).
And the heaven and earth wept not for them, nor were they reprieved.

Wa laqad najjainā banī isrā'īla minal-‘ażābil-muhīn(i).
And We certainly saved the Children of Israel from the humiliating torment -

Min fir‘aun(a), innahū kāna ‘āliyam minal-musrifīn(a).
From Pharaoh. Indeed, he was a haughty one among the transgressors.

Indeed, these [disbelievers] are saying,

In hiya illā mautatunal-ūlā wa mā naḥnu bimunsyarīn(a).

Wa mā khalaqnas-samāwāti wal-arḍa wa mā bainahumā lā‘ibīn(a).
And We did not create the heavens and earth and that between them in play.
