As-Saaffaat

Demi (rombongan) yang ber shaf-shaf dengan sebenar-benarnya],

CONSIDER these [messages] ranged in serried ranks,

dan demi (rombongan) yang melarang dengan sebenar-benarnya (dari perbuatan-perbuatan maksiat),

and restraining [from evil] by a call to restraint,

dan demi (rombongan) yang membacakan pelajaran,

and conveying [to all the world] a reminder:

Sesungguhnya Tuhanmu benar-benar Esa.

Verily, most surely, your God is One –

Tuhan langit dan bumi dan apa yang berada di antara keduanya dan Tuhan tempat-tempat terbit matahari.

the Sustainer of the heavens and the earth and of all that is between them, and the Sustainer of all the points of sunrise!

Sesungguhnya Kami telah menghias langit yang terdekat dengan hiasan, yaitu bintang-bintang,

Behold, We have adorned the skies nearest to the earth with the beauty of stars,

dan telah memeliharanya (sebenar-benarnya) dari setiap syaitan yang sangat durhaka,

and have made them secure against every rebellious, satanic force,

syaitan syaitan itu tidak dapat mendengar-dengarkan (pembicaraan) para malaikat dan mereka dilempari dari segala penjuru.

[so that] they [who seek to learn the unknowable] should not be able to overhear the host on high, but shall be repelled from all sides,

Untuk mengusir mereka dan bagi mereka siksaan yang kekal,

cast out [from all grace], with lasting suffering in store for them [in the life to come];

akan tetapi barangsiapa (di antara mereka) yang mencuri-curi (pembicaraan); maka ia dikejar oleh suluh api yang cemerlang.

but if anyone does succeed in snatching a glimpse [of such knowledge], he is [henceforth] pursued by a piercing flame.

Maka tanyakanlah kepada mereka (musyrik Mekah): "Apakah mereka yang lebih kukuh kejadiannya ataukah apa yang telah Kami ciptakan itu?" Sesungguhnya Kami telah menciptakan mereka dari tanah liat.

AND NOW ask those [who deny the truth] to enlight­en thee: Were they more difficult to create than all those [untold marvels] that We have created? - for, behold, them have We created out of [mere] clay commingled with water!

Bahkan kamu menjadi heran (terhadap keingkaran mereka) dan mereka menghinakan kamu.

Nay, but whereas thou dost marvel, they [only] scoff;

Dan apabila mereka diberi pelajaran mereka tiada mengingatnya.

and when they are reminded [of the truth], they refuse to take it to heart;

Dan apabila mereka melihat sesuatu tanda kebesaran Allah, mereka sangat menghinakan.

and when they become aware of a [divine] message, they turn it to ridicule

Dan mereka berkata "Ini tiada lain hanyalah sihir yang nyata.

and say: “This is clearly nothing but [a mortal’s] spellbinding eloquence!

Apakah apabila kami telah mati dan telah menjadi tanah serta menjadi tulang belulang, apakah benar-benar kami akan dibangkitkan (kembali)?

Why - after we have died and become mere dust and bones, shall we, forsooth, be raised from the dead? –

Dan apakah bapak-bapak kami yang telah terdahulu (akan dibangkitkan pula)"?

and perhaps also our forebears of old?”

Katakanlah: "Ya, dan kamu akan terhina"

Say: “Yea, indeed - and most abject will you then be!” –

Maka sesungguhnya kebangkitan itu hanya dengan satu teriakan saja; maka tiba-tiba mereka meIihatnya.

for that [resurrection which they deride] will be [upon them of a sudden, as if it were] but a single accusing cry - and then, lo! they will begin to see [the truth]

Dan mereka berkata: "Aduhai celakalah kita!" Inilah hari pembalasan.

and will say: “Oh, woe unto us! This is the Day of Judgment!”

Inilah hari keputusan yang kamu selalu mendustakannya.

[And they will be told:] “This is the Day of Distinction [between the true and the false - the Day] which you were wont to call a lie!”

(kepada malaikat diperintahkan): "Kumpulkanlah orang-orang yang zalim beserta teman sejawat mereka dan sembahan-sembahan yang selalu mereka sembah,

[And God will thus command:] “Assemble all those who were bent on evildoing, together with others of their ilk and [with] all that they were wont to worship

selain Allah; maka tunjukkanlah kepada mereka jalan ke neraka.

instead of God, and lead them all onto the way to the blazing fire,

Dan tahanlah mereka (di tempat perhentian) karena sesungguhnya mereka akan ditanya:

and halt them [there]!” [And then,] behold, they shall be asked,

"Kenapa kamu tidak tolong menolong?"

“How is it that [now] you cannot succour one another?”

Bahkan mereka pada hari itu menyerah diri.

Nay, but on that Day they would willingly surrender [to God];

Sebahagian dan mereka menghadap kepada sebahagian yang lain berbantah-bantahan.

but [since it will be too late,] they will turn upon one another, demanding of each other [to relieve them of the burden of their past sins].

Pengikut-pengikut mereka berkata (kepada pemimpin-pemimpin mereka): "Sesungguhnya kamulah yang datang kepada kami dan kanan.

Some [of them] will say: “Behold, you were wont to approach us [deceptively] from the right!”

Pemimpin-pemimpin mereka menjawab: "Sebenarnya kamulah yang tidak beriman".

[To which] the others will reply: “Nay, you yourselves were bereft of all faith!

Dan sekali-kali kami tidak berkuasa terhadapmu, bahkan kamulah kaum yang melampaui batas.

Moreover, we had no power at all over you: nay, you were people filled with overweening arrogance!

Maka pastilah putusan (azab) Tuhan kita menimpa atas kita; sesungguhnya kita akan merasakan (azab itu).

But now our Sustainer’s word has come true against us [as well]: verily, we are bound to taste [the fruit of our sins].

Maka kami telah menyesatkan kamu, sesungguhnya kami adalah orang-orang yang sesat.

So then, [if it be true that] we have caused you to err grievously - behold, we ourselves had been lost in grievous error!”

Maka sesungguhnya mereka pada hari itu bersama-sama dalam azab.

And, verily, on that Day they all will share in their common suffering.

Sesungguhnya demikianlah Kami berbuat terhadap orang-orang yang berbuat jahat.

Verily, thus shall We deal with all who were lost in sin:

Sesungguhnya mereka dahulu apabila dikatakan kepada mereka: "Laa ilaaha illallah" (Tiada Tuhan yang berhak disembah melainkan Allah) mereka menyombongkan diri,

for, behold, whenever they were told, “There is no deity save God,” they would glory in their arrogance

dan mereka berkata: "Apakah sesungguhnya kami harus meninggalkan sembahan-sembahan kami karena seorang penyair gila?"

and would say, “Shall we, then, give up our deities at the bidding of a mad poet?”

Sebenarnya dia (Muhammad) telah datang membawa kebenaran dan membenarkan rasul-rasul (sebelumnya).

Nay, but he [whom you call a mad poet] has brought the truth; and he confirms the truth of [what the earlier of God’s] message-bearers [have taught].

Sesungguhnya kamu pasti akan merasakan azab yang pedih.

Behold, you will indeed taste grievous suffering [in the life to come],

Dan kamu tidak diberi pembalasan melainkan terhadap kejahatan yang telah kamu kerjakan,

although you shall not be requited for aught but what you were wont to do.

tetapi hamba-hamba Allah yang dibersihkan (dari dosa).

Not so, however, God’s true servants:

Mereka itu memperoleh rezeki yang tertentu,

[in the hereafter,] theirs shall be a sustenance which they will recognize

yaitu buah-buahan. Dan mereka adalah orang-orang yang dimuliakan,

as the fruits [of their life on earth]; and honoured shall they be

di dalam surga-surga yang penuh nikmat.

in gardens of bliss,

di atas takhta-takhta kebesaran berhadap-hadapan.

facing one another [in love] upon thrones of happiness.

Diedarkan kepada mereka gelas yang berisi khamar dari sungai yang mengalir.

A cup will be passed round among them [with a drink] from unsullied springs,

(Warnanya) putih bersih, sedap rasanya bagi orang-orang yang minum.

clear, delightful to those who drink it:

Tidak ada dalam khamar itu alkohol dan mereka tiada mabuk karenanya.

no headiness will be in it, and they will not get drunk thereon.

Di sisi mereka ada bidadari-bidadari yang tidak liar pandangannya dan jelita matanya,

And with them will be mates of modest gaze, most beautiful of eye,

seakan-akan mereka adalah telur (burung unta) yang tersimpan dengan baik.

[as free of faults] as if they were hidden [ostrich] eggs.

Lalu sebahagian mereka menghadap kepada sebahagian yang lain sambil bercakap-cakap.

And they will all turn to one another, asking each other [about their past lives].

Berkatalah salah seorang di antara mereka: "Sesungguhnya aku dahulu (di dunia) mempunyai seorang teman,

One of them speaks thus: “Behold, I had [on earth] a close companion

yang berkata: "Apakah kamu sungguh-sungguh termasuk orang-orang yang membenarkan (hari berbangkit)?

who was wont to ask [me], ‘Why - art thou really one of those who believe it to be true

Apakah bila kita telah mati dan kita telah menjadi tanah dan tulang belulang, apakah sesungguhnya kita benar-benar (akan dibangkitkan) untuk diberi pembalasan?"

[that] after we have died and become mere dust and bones we shall, forsooth, be brought to judgment?”’

Berkata pulalah ia: "Maukah kamu meninjau (temanku itu)?"

[And] he adds: “Would you like to look [and see him]?” –

Maka ia meninjaunya, lalu dia melihat temannya itu di tengah-tengah neraka menyala-nyala.

and then he looks and sees that [companion of his] in the midst of the blazing fire,

Ia berkata (pula): "Demi Allah, sesungguhnya kamu benar-benar hampir mencelakakanku,

and says: “By God! Verily, thou hast almost destroyed me [too, O my erstwhile companion]

jikalau tidaklah karena nikmat Tuhanku pastilah aku termasuk orang-orang yang diseret (ke neraka).

for had it not been for my Sustainer’s favour, I would surely be [now] among those who are given over [to suffering]!

Maka apakah kita tidak akan mati?,

But then, [O my friends in paradise,] is it [really] so that we are not to die

melainkan hanya kematian kita yang pertama saja (di dunia), dan kita tidak akan disiksa (di akhirat ini)?

[again,] beyond our previous death, and that we shall never [again] be made to suffer?

Sesungguhnya ini benar-benar kemenangan yang besar.

Verily, this - this indeed - is the triumph supreme!”

Untuk kemenangan serupa ini hendaklah berusaha orang-orang yang bekerja"

For the like of this, then, let them labour, those who labour [in God’s way]!

(Makanan surga) itukah hidangan yang lebih baik ataukah pohon zaqqum.

Is such [a paradise] the better welcome - or the [hellish] tree of deadly fruit?

Sesungguhnya Kami menjadikan pohon zaqqum itu sebagai siksaan bagi orang-orang yang zalim.

Verily, We have caused it to be a trial for evildoers:

Sesungguhnya dia adalah sebatang pohon yang ke luar dan dasar neraka yang menyala.

for, behold, it is a tree that grows in the very heart of the blazing fire [of hell],

mayangnya seperti kepala syaitan-syaitan.

its fruit [as repulsive] as satans’ heads;

Maka sesungguhnya mereka benar-benar memakan sebagian dari buah pohon itu, maka mereka memenuhi perutnya dengan buah zaqqum itu.

and they [who are lost in evil] are indeed bound to eat thereof, and to fill their bellies therewith.

Kemudian sesudah makan buah pohon zaqqum itu pasti mereka mendapat minuman yang bercampur dengan air yang sangat panas.

And, behold, above all this they will be confounded with burning des­pair!

Kemudian sesungguhnya tempat kembali mereka benar-benar ke neraka Jahim.

And once again: Verily, the blazing fire is their ultimate goal –

Karena sesungguhnya mereka mendapati bapak-bapak mereka dalam Keadaaan sesat.

for, behold, they found their forebears on a wrong way,

Lalu mereka sangat tergesa-gesa mengikuti jejak orang-orang tua mereka itu.

and [now] they make haste to follow in their footsteps!

Dan sesungguhnya telah sesat sebelum mereka (Quraisy) sebagian besar dari orang-orang yang dahulu,

Thus, indeed, most of the people of old went astray before them,

dan sesungguhnya telah Kami utus pemberi-pemberi peringatan (rasul-rasul) di kalangan mereka.

although, verily, We had sent warners unto them:

Maka perhatikanlah bagaimana kesudahan orang-orang yang diberi peringatan itu.

and behold what happened in the end to those that had been warned [to no avail]!

Tetapi hamba-hamba Allah yang bersihkan (dari dosa tidak akan diazab).

EXCEPT for God’s true servants, [most people are apt to go astray.]

Sesungguhnya Nuh telah menyeru Kami: maka sesungguhnya sebaik-baik yang memperkenankan (adalah Kami).

And, indeed, [it was for this reason that] Noah cried unto Us - and how excellent was Our response:

Dan Kami telah menyelamatkannya dan pengikutnya dari bencana yang besar.

for We saved him and his household from that awesome calamity,

Dan Kami jadikan anak cucunya orang-orang yang melanjutkan keturunan.

and caused his offspring to endure [on earth];

Dan Kami abadikan untuk Nuh itu (pujian yang baik) di kalangan orang-orang yang datang kemudian;

and We left him thus to be remembered among later generations:

"Kesejahteraan dilimpahkan atas Nuh di seluruh alam".

“Peace be upon Noah throughout all the worlds!”

Sesungguhnya demikianlah Kami memberi balasan kepada orang-orang yang berbuat baik.

Verily, thus do We reward the doers of good –

Sesungguhnya dia termasuk di antara hamba-hamba Kami yang beriman.

for he was truly one of our believing servants:

Kemudian Kami tenggelamkan orang-orang yang lain.

[and so We saved him and those who followed him] and then We caused the others to drown.

Dan sesungguhnya Ibrahim benar-benar termasuk golongannya (Nuh).

AND, BEHOLD, of his persuasion was Abraham, too,

(lngatlah) ketika ia datang kepada Tuhannya dengan hati yang suci:

when he turned to his Sustainer with a heart free of evil,

(Ingatlah) ketika ia berkata kepada bapaknya dan kaumnya: "Apakah yang kamu sembah itu?

and [thus] spoke to his father and his people: “What is it that you worship?

Apakah kamu menghendaki sembahan-sembahan selain Allah dengan jalan berbohong?

Do you want [to bow down before] a lie - [before] deities other than God?

Maka apakah anggapanmu terhadap Tuhan semesta alam?"

What, then, do you think of the Sustainer of all the worlds?”

Lalu ia memandang sekali pandang ke bintang-bintang.

Then he cast a glance at the stars,

Kemudian ia berkata: "Sesungguhnya aku sakit".

and said, “Verily, I am sick [at heart]!”

Lalu mereka berpaling daripadanya dengan membelakang.

and at that they turned their backs on him and went away.

Kemudian ia pergi dengan diam-diam kepada berhala-berhala mereka; lalu ia berkata: "Apakah kamu tidak makan?

Thereupon he approached their gods stealthily and said, “What! You do not eat [of the offerings placed before you]?

Kenapa kamu tidak menjawab?"

What is amiss with you that you do not speak?”

Lalu dihadapinya berhala-berhala itu sambil memukulnya dengan tangan kanannya (dengan kuat).

And then he fell upon them, smiting them with his right hand.

Kemudian kaumnya datang kepadanya dengan bergegas.

[But] then the others came towards him hur­riedly [and accused him of his deed].

Ibrahim berkata: "Apakah kamu menyembah patung-patung yang kamu pahat itu?

He answered: “Do you worship something that you [yourselves] have carved,

Padahal Allah-lah yang menciptakan kamu dan apa yang kamu perbuat itu".

the while it is God who has created you and all your handiwork?”

Mereka berkata: "Dirikanlah suatu bangunan untuk (membakar) Ibrahim; lalu lemparkanlah dia ke dalam api yang menyala-nyala itu".

They exclaimed: “Build a pyre for him, and cast him into the blazing fire!”

Mereka hendak melakukan tipu muslihat kepadanya, maka Kami jadikan mereka orang-orang yang hina.

But whereas they sought to do evil unto him, We [frustrated their designs, and thus] brought them low?

Dan Ibrahim berkata: "Sesungguhnya aku pergi menghadap kepada Tuhanku, dan Dia akan memberi petunjuk kepadaku.

And [Abraham] said: “Verily, I shall [leave this land and] go wherever my Sustainer will guide me!”

Ya Tuhanku, anugrahkanlah kepadaku (seorang anak) yang termasuk orang-orang yang saleh.

[And he prayed:] “O my Sustainer! Bestow upon me the gift of [a son who shall be] one of the righteous!” –

Maka Kami beri dia khabar gembira dengan seorang anak yang amat sabar.

whereupon We gave him the glad tiding of a boy-child gentle [like himself]?

Maka tatkala anak itu sampai (pada umur sanggup) berusaha bersama-sama Ibrahim, Ibrahim berkata: "Hai anakku sesungguhnya aku melihat dalam mimpi bahwa aku menyembelihmu. Maka fikirkanlah apa pendapatmu!" Ia menjawab: "Hai bapakku, kerjakanlah apa yang diperintahkan kepadamu; insya Allah kamu akan mendapatiku termasuk orang-orang yang sabar".

And [one day,] when [the child] had become old enough to share in his [father’s] endeavours, the latter said: “O my dear son! I have seen in a dream that I should sacrifice thee: consider, then, what would be thy view!” [Ishmael] answered: “O my father! Do as thou art bidden: thou wilt find me, if God so wills, among those who are patient in adversity!”

Tatkala keduanya telah berserah diri dan Ibrahim membaringkan anaknya atas pelipis(nya), (nyatalah kesabaran keduanya).

But as soon as the two had surrendered themselves to [what they thought to be] the will of God, and [Abraham] had laid him down on his face,

Dan Kami panggillah dia: "Hai Ibrahim,

We called out to him: “O Abraham,

sesungguhnya kamu telah membenarkan mimpi itu sesungguhnya demikianlah Kami memberi balasan kepada orang-orang yang berbuat baik.

thou hast already fulfilled [the purpose of] that dream- vision!” Thus, verily, do We reward the doers of good:

Sesungguhnya ini benar-benar suatu ujian yang nyata.

for, behold, all this was indeed a trial, clear in itself.

Dan Kami tebus anak itu dengan seekor sembelihan yang besar.

And We ransomed him with a tremendous sacrifice,

Kami abadikan untuk Ibrahim itu (pujian yang baik) di kalangan orang-orang yang datang kemudian,

and left him thus to be remembered among later generations:

(yaitu)"Kesejahteraan dilimpahkan atas Ibrahim".

“Peace be upon Abraham!”

Demikianlah Kami memberi balasan kepada orang-orang yang berbuat baik.

Thus do We reward the doers of good –

Sesungguhnya ia termasuk hamba-hamba Kami yang beriman.

for he was truly one of our believing servants.

Dan Kami beri dia kabar gembira dengan (kelahiran) Ishaq seorang nabi yang termasuk orang-orang yang saleh.

And [in time] We gave him the glad tiding of Isaac, [who, too, would be] a prophet, one of the righteous;

Kami limpahkan keberkatan atasnya dan atas Ishaq. Dan diantara anak cucunya ada yang berbuat baik dan ada (pula) yang Zalim terhadap dirinya sendiri dengan nyata.

and We blessed him and Isaac: but among the offspring of these two there were [des­tined] to be both doers of good and such as would glaringly sin against themselves.

Dan sesungguhnya Kami telah melimpahkan nikmat atas Musa dan Harun.

THUS, INDEED, did We bestow Our favour upon Moses and Aaron;

Dan Kami selamatkan keduanya dan kaumnya dari bencana yang besar.

and We saved them and their people from the awesome calamity [of bondage],

Dan Kami tolong mereka, maka jadilah mereka orang-orang yang menang.

and succoured them, so that [in the end] it was they who achieved victory.

Dan Kami berikan kepada keduanya kitab yang sangat jelas.

And We gave them the divine writ that made [right and wrong] distinct,

Dan Kami tunjuki keduanya ke jalan yang lurus.

and guided them the straight way,

Dan Kami abadikan untuk keduanya (pujian yang baik) dikalangan orang-orang yang datang kemudian;

and left them thus to be remem­bered among later generations:

(yaitu): "Kesejahteraan dilimpahkan atas Musa dan Harun".

“Peace be upon Moses and Aaron!”

Sesungguhnya demikianlah Kami memberi balasan kepada orang-orang yang berbuat baik.

Thus do We reward the doers of good –

Sesungguhnya keduanya termasuk hamba-hamba Kami yang beriman.

for those two were truly among Our believing ser­vants.

Dan sesungguhnya Ilyas benar-benar termasuk salah seorang rasul-rasul.

AND, BEHOLD, Elijah [too] was indeed one of Our message-bearers

(ingatlah) ketika ia berkata kepada kaumnya: "Mengapa kamu tidak bertakwa?

when he spoke [thus] to his people: “Will you not remain conscious of God?

Patutkah kamu menyembah Ba'l dan kamu tinggalkan sebaik-baik Pencipta,

Will you invoke Baal and forsake [God,] the best of artisans -

(yaitu) Allah Tuhanmu dan Tuhan bapak-bapakmu yang terdahulu?"

God, your Sustainer and the Sustainer of your forebears of old?”

Maka mereka mendustakannya, karena itu mereka akan diseret (ke neraka),

But they gave him the lie: and therefore they will most surely be arraigned [on Judgment Day],

kecuali hamba-hamba Allah yang dibersihkan (dari dosa).

excepting only [those who were] God’s true servants;

Dan Kami abadikan untuk Ilyas (pujian yang baik) di kalangan orang-orang yang datang kemudian.

and him We left thus to be remem­bered among later generations:

(yaitu): "Kesejahteraan dilimpahkan atas Ilyas?"

“Peace be upon Elijah and his followers!”

Sesungguhnya demikianlah Kami memberi balasan kepada orang-orang yang berbuat baik.

Verily, thus do We reward the doers of good –

Sesungguhnya dia termasuk hamba-hamba Kami yang beriman.

for he was truly one of Our believing servants!

Sesungguhnya Luth benar-benar salah seorang rasul.

AND, BEHOLD, Lot was indeed one of Our mes­sage-bearers;

(Ingatlah) ketika Kami selamatkan dia dan keluarganya (pengikut-pengikutnya) semua,

[and so,] when [We decreed the doom of his sinful town,] We saved him and his household,

kecuali seorang perempuan tua (isterinya yang berada) bersama-sama orang yang tinggal.

except an old woman who was among those that stayed behind;

Kemudian Kami binasakan orang-orang yang lain.

and then We utterly destroyed the others:

Dan sesungguhnya kamu (hai penduduk Mekah) benar-benar akan melalui (bekas-bekas) mereka di waktu pagi,

and, verily, [to this day] you pass by the remnants of their dwellings at morning-time

dan di waktu malam. Maka apakah kamu tidak memikirkan?

and by night. Will you not, then, use your reason?

Sesungguhnya Yunus benar-benar salah seorang rasul,

AND, BEHOLD, Jonah was indeed one of Our mes­sage-bearers

(ingatlah) ketika ia lari, ke kapal yang penuh muatan,

when he fled like a runaway slave onto a laden ship.

kemudian ia ikut berundi lalu dia termasuk orang-orang yang kalah dalam undian.

And then they cast lots, and he was the one who lost;

Maka ia ditelan oleh ikan besar dalam keadaan tercela.

[and they cast him into the sea,] whereupon the great fish swallowed him, for he had been blameworthy.

Maka kalau sekiranya dia tidak termasuk orang-orang yang banyak mengingat Allah,

And had he not been of those who [even in the deep darkness of their distress are able to] extol God’s limitless glory,

niscaya ia akan tetap tinggal di perut ikan itu sampai hari berbangkit.

he would indeed have remained in its belly till the Day when all shall be raised from the dead:

Kemudian Kami lemparkan dia ke daerah yang tandus, sedang ia dalam keadaan sakit.

but We caused him to be cast forth on a desert shore, sick [at heart] as he was,

Dan Kami tumbuhkan untuk dia sebatang pohon dari jenis labu.

and caused a creeping plant to grow over him [out of the barren soil].

Dan Kami utus dia kepada seratus ribu orang atau lebih.

And [then] We sent him [once again] to [his people,] a hundred thousand [souls] or more:

Lalu mereka beriman, karena itu Kami anugerahkan kenikmatan hidup kepada mereka hingga waktu yang tertentu.

and [this time] they believed [in him] and so We allowed them to enjoy their life during the time allotted to them?

Tanyakanlah (ya Muhammad) kepada mereka (orang-orang kafir Mekah): "Apakah untuk Tuhanmu anak-anak perempuan dan untuk mereka anak laki-laki,

AND NOW ask them to enlighten thee: Has thy Sustainer daughters, whereas they would have [only] sons?

atau apakah Kami menciptakan malaikat-malaikat berupa perempuan dan mereka menyaksikan(nya)?

- or is it that We have created the angels female, and they [who believe them to be divine] have witnessed [that act of creation]?

Ketahuilah bahwa sesungguhnya mereka dengan kebohongannya benar-benar mengatakan:

Oh, verily, it is out of their own [inclination to] falsehood that some people assert,

"Allah beranak". Dan sesungguhnya mereka benar-benar orang yang berdusta.

“God has begotten [a son]”; and, verily, they are lying [too, when they say],

Apakah Tuhan memilih (mengutamakan) anak-anak perempuan daripada anak laki-laki?

“He has chosen daughters in preference to sons”!

Apakah yang terjadi padamu? Bagaimana (caranya) kamu menetapkan?

What is amiss with you and your judgment?

Maka apakah kamu tidak memikirkan?

Will you not, then, bethink yourselves?

Atau apakah kamu mempunyai bukti yang nyata?

Or have you, perchance, a clear evidence [for your assertions]?

Maka bawalah kitabmu jika kamu memang orang-orang yang benar.

Produce, then, that divine writ of yours, if you are speaking the truth!

Dan mereka adakan (hubungan) nasab antara Allah dan antara jin. Dan sesungguhnya jin mengetahui bahwa mereka benar-benar akan diseret (ke neraka),

And some people have invented a kinship between Him and all manner of invisible forces although [even] these invisible forces know well that, verily, they [who thus blaspheme against God] shall indeed be arraigned [before Him on Judgment Day: for]

Maha Suci Allah dari apa yang mereka sifatkan,

limitless is God in His glory, above anything that men may devise by way of definition!

Kecuali hamba-hamba Allah yang dibersihkan dari (dosa).

Not thus, however, [behave] God’s true ser­vants:

Maka sesungguhnya kamu dan apa-apa yang kamu sembah itu,

for, verily, neither you [blasphemers] nor the objects of your worship

Sekali-kali tidak dapat menyesatkan (seseorang) terhadap Allah,

can cause anyone to fall prey to your temptation

kecuali orang-orang yang akan masuk neraka yang menyala.

unless it be such as rushes towards the blazing fire [of his own accord]!

Tiada seorangpun di antara kami (malaikat) melainkan mempunyai kedudukan yang tertentu,

[All forces of nature praise God and say:] “Among us, too, there is none but has a place assigned to it [by Him];

dan sesungguhnya kami benar-benar bershaf-shaf (dalam menunaikan perintah Allah).

and, verily, we too are ranged [before Him in worship];

Dan sesungguhnya kami benar-benar bertasbih (kepada Allah).

and, verily, we too extol His limitless glory!”

Sesungguhnya mereka benar-benar akan berkata:

AND, INDEED, they [who deny the truth] have always been wont to say,

"Kalau sekiranya di sksi kami ada sebuah kitab dari (kitab-kitab yang diturunkan) kepada orang-orang dahulu,

“If only we had a tradition [to this effect] from our forebears,

benar-benar kami akan jadi hamba Allah yang dibersihkan (dari dosa)".

we would certainly be true servants of God.”

Tetapi mereka mengingkarinya (Al Quran); maka kelak mereka akan mengetahui (akibat keingkarannya itu).

And yet, [now that this divine writ has been placed before them,] they refuse to acknowledge it as true! In time, however, they will come to know [what it was that they had rejected]:

Dan sesungguhnya telah tetap janji Kami kepada hamba-hamba Kami yang menjadi rasul,

for, long ago has Our word gone forth unto Our servants, the message- bearers,

(yaitu) sesungguhnya mereka itulah yang pasti mendapat pertolongan.

that, verily, they - they indeed - would be succoured,

Dan sesungguhnya tentara Kami itulah yang pasti menang,

and that, verily, Our hosts - they indeed - would [in the end] be victorious!

Maka berpalinglah kamu (Muhammad) dari mereka sampai suatu ketika.

Hence, turn thou aside for a while from those [who deny the truth],

Dan lihatlah mereka, maka kelak mereka akan melihat (azab itu).

and see them [for what they are]; and in time they [too] will come to see [what they do not see now].

Maka apakah mereka meminta supaya siksa Kami disegerakan?

Do they, then, [really] wish that Our chas­tisement be hastened on?

Maka apabila siksaan itu turun dihalaman mereka, maka amat buruklah pagi hari yang dialami oleh orang-orang yang diperingatkan itu.

But then, once it alights upon them, hapless will be the awakening of those who were warned [to no avail]!

Dan berpalinglah kamu dari mereka hingga suatu ketika.

Hence, turn thou aside for a while from them,

Dan lihatlah, maka kelak mereka juga akan melihat.

and see [them for what they are]; and n time they [too] will come to see [what they do not see now].

Maha Suci Tuhanmu Yang mempunyai keperkasaan dari apa yang mereka katakan.

LIMITLESS in His glory is thy Sustainer, the Lord of almightiness, [exalted] above anything that men may devise by way of definition!

Dan kesejahteraan dilimpahkan atas para rasul.

And peace be upon all His message-bearers!

Dan segala puji bagi Allah Tuhan seru sekalian alam.

And all praise is due to God alone, the Sus­tainer of all the worlds!
