Indeed (Inna), your LORD (s) (Rabba-ka) is (Huwa) aware of (A'lamu Bi) who (Man) has deviated from (Dolla Ån) HIS way (Sabiili-hi), and (Wa) HE (Huwa) is aware of (A'lamu Bi) the guided (El'Muh'tadiin).

So (Wa) do not (Laa) obey (Tuti') every (Kulla) contemptible (Mahiin) swearer 1 (Hallafin),
﴾ ١١ ﴿ هَمَّازࣲ مَّشَّاۤءِۭ بِنَمِیمࣲ
﴾ 11 ﴿
a backbiter 2 (Hammaazin) walking (Masshaai) with (Bi) gossip 3 (Namiim),

forbidder (Mannaen) of good 4 (Lil' Khai'ri), a sinful (Athiim) trespasser 5 (Mu'tadin),

disordered 6 (Utulli) after (Ba'da) that (Zaalika), ignoble 7 (Zaniim);
﴾ ١٤ ﴿ أَن كَانَ ذَا مَالࣲ وَبَنِینَ
﴾ 14 ﴿
because (An) he (Kaana) possesses (Zaa) wealth (Maalin) and (Wa) children (Baniin),
﴾ ١٥ ﴿ إِذَا تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَیۡهِ ءَایَـٰتُنَا قَالَ أَسَـٰطِیرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِینَ

when (Izaa) Our verses (Aayaatu-naa) are recited (Tut'laa) to him (Ålai'hi), he says (Qaala), "Tales (Asaatiiru) of the past (El'Awwaliin)."
﴾ ١٦ ﴿ سَنَسِمُهُۥ عَلَى ٱلۡخُرۡطُومِ

We will brand him (Sa Nasimu-hu) by (Ålaa) the proboscis (human nose) (El'Khur'tuum).
﴾ ١٧ ﴿ إِنَّا بَلَوۡنَـٰهُمۡ كَمَا بَلَوۡنَاۤ أَصۡحَـٰبَ ٱلۡجَنَّةِ إِذۡ أَقۡسَمُوا۟ لَیَصۡرِمُنَّهَا مُصۡبِحِینَ
﴾ 17 ﴿
Indeed (Inna), We have tested them (Balaw'naa-hum’) as (Kamaa) We tested (Balaw'naa) the owners (As'haaba) of the garden (El'Jannati), when (Iz') they swore (Aq'samu') that (La) they will cut it down (Yas'rimunna-ha) early in the morning (Mus'bihiin)
﴾ ١٨ ﴿ وَلَا یَسۡتَثۡنُونَ

﴾ 19 ﴿
So (Fa) a swamp (Toafa) from (Min) your LORD (s) (Rabbi-ka) floated (Toa’ifun) upon it (Ålai'ha) while (Wa) they (Hum) were asleep (Naa’imuun).
﴾ ٢٠ ﴿ فَأَصۡبَحَتۡ كَٱلصَّرِیمِ

And (Fa) it became (As'bahat') like (Ka) an abscission (Es'Soriim).
﴾ ٢١ ﴿ فَتَنَادَوۡا۟ مُصۡبِحِینَ
﴾ 21 ﴿
So (Fa) they called each other (Tanaadaw') early in the morning (Mus'bihiin)
﴾ ٢٢ ﴿ أَنِ ٱغۡدُوا۟ عَلَىٰ حَرۡثِكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَـٰرِمِینَ
﴾ 22 ﴿
that (Ani), "Go early (Eg'du') to (Ålaa) your cultivation (Har'thi-kum'), if (In) you would (Kuntum') cut it down (Soarimiin)."
﴾ ٢٣ ﴿ فَٱنطَلَقُوا۟ وَهُمۡ یَتَخَـٰفَتُونَ
﴾ 23 ﴿
So (Fa) they took off (Entolaqu') while (Wa) they (Hum') were privately talking together (Yatakhaafatuun),
﴾ ٢٤ ﴿ أَن لَّا یَدۡخُلَنَّهَا ٱلۡیَوۡمَ عَلَیۡكُم مِّسۡكِینࣱ
﴾ 24 ﴿
that (An), “No (Laa) poor person (Mis'kiin) will enter it (Yad'khulanna-haa) before you (Ålai'kum) today (El'Yaw'ma)."
﴾ ٢٥ ﴿ وَغَدَوۡا۟ عَلَىٰ حَرۡدࣲ قَـٰدِرِینَ
﴾ 25 ﴿
And (Wa) they departed (Gadaw') with (Ålaa) sullenness (Har'din) that they will be able (Qaadiriin).
﴾ ٢٦ ﴿ فَلَمَّا رَأَوۡهَا قَالُوۤا۟ إِنَّا لَضَاۤلُّونَ

But (Fa) when (Lamma) they saw it (Ra'aw'haa), they said (Qaaluu'), "Indeed, we (Innaa) are (La) lost (Doalluun).
﴾ ٢٧ ﴿ بَلۡ نَحۡنُ مَحۡرُومُونَ

"In fact (Bal'), we (Nah'nu) have been deprived (Mah'ruumuun)!"
﴾ ٢٨ ﴿ قَالَ أَوۡسَطُهُمۡ أَلَمۡ أَقُل لَّكُمۡ لَوۡلَا تُسَبِّحُونَ
﴾ 28 ﴿
The mediate of them (Aw'satu-hum') said (Qaala), "Did I not (Alam') say (Aqul) to you (Lakum'), ‘Why (Law') do you not (Laa) glorify (Tusabbihuun)?’ "
﴾ ٢٩ ﴿ قَالُوا۟ سُبۡحَـٰنَ رَبِّنَاۤ إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَـٰلِمِینَ
﴾ 29 ﴿
They said (Qaalu'), "Glory (Sub'haana) be to our LORD (Rabbi-naa)! Indeed (Innaa), we were (Kunnaa) wrongdoers (Zoalimiin)."
﴾ ٣٠ ﴿ فَأَقۡبَلَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضࣲ یَتَلَـٰوَمُونَ
﴾ 30 ﴿
So (Fa) they engaged in (Aq'bala) blaming (Yatalaawamuun) each other (Ba'du-hum' Ålaa Ba'din),
﴾ ٣١ ﴿ قَالُوا۟ یَـٰوَیۡلَنَاۤ إِنَّا كُنَّا طَـٰغِینَ
﴾ 31 ﴿
they said (Qaalu'), "O (Yaa) woe to us (Wai'la-naa); indeed (Innaa), we were (Kunnaa) transgressors (Toagiin).
﴾ ٣٢ ﴿ عَسَىٰ رَبُّنَاۤ أَن یُبۡدِلَنَا خَیۡرࣰا مِّنۡهَاۤ إِنَّاۤ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا رَ ٰغِبُونَ
﴾ 32 ﴿
"Perhaps (Åsaa) our LORD (Rabbu-naa) will (An) manifest (Yub'di) for us (Lanaa) one better (Khai'ran) than it (Min'haa); indeed, we (Innaa) are wishing (Raagibuun) to (ilaa) our LORD (Rabbi-naa)."
﴾ ٣٣ ﴿ كَذَ ٰلِكَ ٱلۡعَذَابُۖ وَلَعَذَابُ ٱلۡـَٔاخِرَةِ أَكۡبَرُۚ لَوۡ كَانُوا۟ یَعۡلَمُونَ
﴾ 33 ﴿
Thus (Kazaalika) was the punishment (El'Åzaabu), but (Wa) the (La) punishment (Åzaabu) of the hereafter (El'Aakhirati) is greater (Ak'baru), if (Law') they should (Kaanu') know (Ya'lamuun).
﴾ ٣٤ ﴿ إِنَّ لِلۡمُتَّقِینَ عِندَ رَبِّهِمۡ جَنَّـٰتِ ٱلنَّعِیمِ
﴾ 34 ﴿
Indeed (Inna), for the pious (Lil' Muttaqiina) are the Gardens (Jannaati) of Bliss (En'Naeem) at (Enda) their LORD (Rabbi-him').
﴾ ٣٥ ﴿ أَفَنَجۡعَلُ ٱلۡمُسۡلِمِینَ كَٱلۡمُجۡرِمِینَ
﴾ 35 ﴿
So shall (Afa-) We render (-naj'ålu) the submitters (27:81) (El'Mus'limiina) like (Ka) the criminals (El'Muj'rimiin)?
﴾ ٣٦ ﴿ مَا لَكُمۡ كَیۡفَ تَحۡكُمُونَ

How do you (Maa Lakum Kai'fa) judge (Tah'kumuun)?
﴾ ٣٧ ﴿ أَمۡ لَكُمۡ كِتَـٰبࣱ فِیهِ تَدۡرُسُونَ
﴾ 37 ﴿
Or (Am') do you (p) have (Lakum') a book (34:44) (Kitaabun) in which (Fiihi) you study (Tad'rusuun)
﴾ ٣٨ ﴿ إِنَّ لَكُمۡ فِیهِ لَمَا تَخَیَّرُونَ

﴾ 39 ﴿
Or (Am') do you (p) have (Lakum') extensive (Baaligatun) oaths (Ai'maanun) upon Us (Ålai'naa), until (ilaa) the Day of Resurrection (Yaw'mil' Qiyaamati) that (Inna) you have (Lakum') whatever (Lamaa) you decide (Tah'kumuun)?
﴾ ٤٠ ﴿ سَلۡهُمۡ أَیُّهُم بِذَ ٰلِكَ زَعِیمٌ

Ask them (Sal'hum'), "Which of them (Ayyuhum) is a leader (Zaeem) in (Bi) that (Zaalika)?
﴾ ٤١ ﴿ أَمۡ لَهُمۡ شُرَكَاۤءُ فَلۡیَأۡتُوا۟ بِشُرَكَاۤىِٕهِمۡ إِن كَانُوا۟ صَـٰدِقِینَ

Or (Am') do they have (Lahum') associates (Shurakaau)? Then let them (Fal') bring (Ya'tu' Bi) their associates (idols) (Shurakaai-him'), if (In) they should be (Kaanu') truthful (Soadiqiin).
﴾ ٤٢ ﴿ یَوۡمَ یُكۡشَفُ عَن سَاقࣲ وَیُدۡعَوۡنَ إِلَى ٱلسُّجُودِ فَلَا یَسۡتَطِیعُونَ

The day (Yaw'ma) they will be bared (Yuk'shafu) from (Ån) the shin (Saaqin) and (Wa) they will be invited (Yud'åw'na) to (ilaa) prostration (Es'Sujuudi), but (Fa) they will not (Laa) be able (Yas'tatii’uun).
﴾ ٤٣ ﴿ خَـٰشِعَةً أَبۡصَـٰرُهُمۡ تَرۡهَقُهُمۡ ذِلَّةࣱۖ وَقَدۡ كَانُوا۟ یُدۡعَوۡنَ إِلَى ٱلسُّجُودِ وَهُمۡ سَـٰلِمُونَ
﴾ 43 ﴿
Their eyesight (Ab'soaru-hum’) will be humbled (Khaashiåtan), shame (Zillatun) will overtake them (Tar'haqu-hum'). And (Wa) they were (Kaanu') already (Qad') invited (Yud'åw'na) to (ilaa) the prostration (Es'Sujuudi) while (Wa) they (Hum') were sound (Saalimuun).
﴾ ٤٤ ﴿ فَذَرۡنِی وَمَن یُكَذِّبُ بِهَـٰذَا ٱلۡحَدِیثِۖ سَنَسۡتَدۡرِجُهُم مِّنۡ حَیۡثُ لَا یَعۡلَمُونَ
﴾ 44 ﴿
So (Fa) leave ME (Zar'nii) with (Wa) whoever (Man) denies (Yukazzibu Bi) this (Haaza) discourse (52:34) (El'Hadiithi). We will gradually advance them (7:182) (Sa Nas'tad'riju-hum) from (Min') where (Hai'thu) they do not (Laa) know (Ya'lamuun).
﴾ ٤٥ ﴿ وَأُمۡلِی لَهُمۡۚ إِنَّ كَیۡدِی مَتِینٌ

And (Wa) I (God) will dictate (Um'lii) for them (Lahum'). Indeed (Inna), MY scheme (Kai'dii) is solid (Matiin). (7:183)

Or (Am') do you (s) ask them (Tas'alu-hum') for a wage (Aj'ran), and (Fa) they (Hum) are burdened (Muth'qaluun) by (Min) liability (Mag'ramin)? (52:40)
﴾ ٤٧ ﴿ أَمۡ عِندَهُمُ ٱلۡغَیۡبُ فَهُمۡ یَكۡتُبُونَ

Or (Am') do they possess (Endahumu) the unseen (El'Gai'bu), and (Fa) they (Hum) are destined (Yak'tubuun)?

Therefore (Fa) be patient (Es'bir') for (Li) the judgement (Huk'mi) of your LORD (s) (Rabbi-ka) and (Wa) do not (Laa) be (Takun) like (Ka) the companion (Soahibi) of the whale (Jonah) (El'Huuti) when (Iz') he cried out (Naadaa) while (Wa) he (Huwa) was contained (Mak'zuum).

If (Law') not (Laa) because (An) the grace (Ni'matun) of (Min) his LORD (Rabbi-hi) corrected him (Tadaaraka-hu), he (Jonah) would have been (La) discarded (Nubiza) into (Bi) the open (El'Åraai) while (Wa) being (Huwa) censured (Maz'muum),
﴾ ٥٠ ﴿ فَٱجۡتَبَـٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَجَعَلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِینَ

Indeed (In), those who (Ellaziina) disbelieve (Kafaru') would (La) almost (Yakaadu) make you (s) slip (Yaz'liquuna-ka) with (Bi) their eyesight (Ab'soari-him’) when (Lammaa) they hear (Samiu') the Remembrance (15:6) (Ez'Zik'ra), and (Wa) they will say (Yaquuluuna), "Indeed, he (Innahu) is (La) a madman (Maj'nuun)!"
