Al-Qamar

Telah dekat datangnya saat itu dan telah terbelah bulan.

THE LAST HOUR draws near, and the moon is split asunder!

Dan jika mereka (orang-orang musyrikin) melihat suatu tanda (mukjizat), mereka berpaling dan berkata: "(Ini adalah) sihir yang terus menerus".

But if they [who reject all thought of the Last Hour] were to see a sign [of its approach], they would turn aside and say, “An ever-recurring delusion!” –

Dan mereka mendutakan (Nabi) dan mengikuti hawa nafsu mereka, sedang tiap-tiap urusan telah ada ketetapannya

for they are bent on giving it the lie, being always wont to follow their own desires. Yet everything reveals its truth in the end.

Dan sesungguhnya telah datang kepada mereka beberapa kisah yang di dalamnya terdapat cegahan (dari kekafiran).

And withal, there has come unto them many a tiding that should have restrained [their arrogance]:

Itulah suatu hikmah yang sempurna maka peringatan-peringatan itu tidak berguna (bagi mereka).

far-reaching wisdom [was held out to them]: but [since] all warnings have been of no avail,

Maka berpalinglah kamu dari mereka. (Ingatlah) hari (ketika) seorang penyeru (malaikat) menyeru kepada sesuatu yang tidak menyenangkan (hari pembalasan),

turn thou away from them. On the Day when the Summoning Voice will sum­mon [man] unto something that the mind cannot conceive,

sambil menundukkan pandangan-pandangan mereka keluar dari kuburan seakan-akan mereka belalang yang beterbangan

they will come forth from their graves, with their eyes downcast, [swarming about] like locusts scattered [by the wind],

mereka datang dengan cepat kepada penyeru itu. Orang-orang kafir berkata: "Ini adalah hari yang berat".

running in con­fusion towards the Summoning Voice; [and] those who [now] deny the truth will exclaim, “Calamitous is this Day!”

Sebelum mereka, telah mendustakan (pula) kamu Nuh, maka mereka mendustakan hamba Kami (Nuh) dan mengatakan: "Dia seorang gila dan dia sudah pernah diberi ancaman).

[LONG] BEFORE those [who now deny resurrec­tion] did Noah’s people call it a lie; and they gave the lie to Our servant and said, “Mad is he!” - and he was repulsed.

Maka dia mengadu kepada Tuhannya: "bahwasanya aku ini adalah orang yang dikalahkan, oleh sebab itu menangkanlah (aku)".

Thereupon he called out to his Sustainer, “Verily, I am defeated; come Thou, then, to my succour!”

Maka Kami bukakan pintu-pintu langit dengan (menurunkan) air yang tercurah.

And so We caused the gates of heaven to open with water pouring down in torrents,

Dan Kami jadikan bumi memancarkan mata air-mata air, maka bertemulah air-air itu untuk suatu urusan yang sungguh telah ditetapkan.

and caused the earth to burst forth with springs, so that the waters met for a purpose pre-ordained:

Dan Kami angkut Nuh ke atas (bahtera) yang terbuat dari papan dan paku,

but him We bore on that [vessel] made of [mere] planks and nails,

Yang berlayar dengan pemeliharaan Kami sebagai belasan bagi orang-orang yang diingkari (Nuh).

and it floated under Our eyes: a recom­pense for him who had been rejected with ingratitude.

Dan sesungguhnya telah Kami jadikan kapal itu sebagai pelajaran, maka adakah orang yang mau mengambil pelajaran?

And, indeed, We have caused such [floating vessels] to remain forever a sign [of Our grace unto man]: who, then, is willing to take it to heart?

Maka alangkah dahsyatnya azab-Ku dan ancaman-ancaman-Ku.

And how severe is the suffering which I inflict when My warnings are disregarded!

Dan sesungguhnya telah Kami mudahkan Al-Quran untuk pelajaran, maka adakah orang yang mengambil pelajaran?

Hence, indeed, We made this Qur’an easy to bear in mind: who, then, is willing to take it to heart?

Kaum 'Aad pun mendustakan (pula). Maka alangkah dahsyatnya azab-Ku dan ancaman-ancaman-Ku.

TO THE TRUTH gave the lie [the tribe of] Ad: and how severe was the suffering which I inflicted when My warnings were disregarded!

Sesungguhnya Kami telah menghembuskan kepada mereka angin yang sangat kencang pada hari nahas yang terus menerus,

Behold, We let loose upon them a raging storm wind on a day of bitter misfortune:

yang menggelimpangkan manusia seakan-akan mereka pokok korma yang tumbang.

it swept the people away as though they were palm-trunks uprooted:

Maka alangkah dahsyatnya azab-Ku dan ancaman-ancaman-Ku.

for, how severe is the suffering which I inflict when My warnings are disregarded!

Dan sesungguhnya telah Kami mudahkan Al Quran untuk pelajaran, maka adakah orang yang mengambil pelajaran?

Hence, indeed, We made this Qur’an easy to bear in mind: who, then, is willing to take it to heart?

Kaum Tsamudpun telah mendustakan ancaman-ancaman (itu).

[AND the tribe of] Thamud gave the lie to all [Our] warnings;

Maka mereka berkata: "Bagaimana kita akan mengikuti seorang manusia (biasa) di antara kita?" Sesungguhnya kalau kita begitu benar-benar berada dalam keadaan sesat dan gila".

and they said: “Are we to follow one single mortal, one from among ourselves? In that case, behold, we would certainly sink into error and folly!

Apakah wahyu itu diturunkan kepadanya di antara kita? Sebenarnya dia adalah seorang yang amat pendusta lagi sombong.

Why - on him alone from among all of us should a [divine] reminder have been bestowed? Nay, but he is a boastful liar!”

Kelak mereka akan mengetahui siapakah yang sebenarnya amat pendusta lagi sombong.

[And God said:] “On the morrow they will come to know who the boastful liar is!

Sesungguhnya Kami akan mengirimkan unta betina sebagai cobaan bagi mereka, maka tunggulah (tindakan) mereka dan bersabarlah.

Behold, [O Salih] We are letting loose this she-camel as a test for them; and thou but watch them, and contain thyself in patience.

Dan beritakanlah kepada mereka bahwa sesungguhnya air itu terbagi antara mereka (dengan unta betina itu); tiap-tiap giliran minum dihadiri (oleh yang punya giliran)

And let them know that the water [of their wells] is to be divided between them, with each share of water equitably apportioned.”

Maka mereka memanggil kawannya, lalu kawannya menangkap (unta itu) dan membunuhnya.

But they summoned their [boldest] companion, and he ventured [upon the evil deed], and cruelly slaughtered [the animal]:

Alangkah dahsyatnya azab-Ku dan ancaman-ancaman-Ku.

and how severe was the suffering which I inflicted when My warnings were disregarded!

Sesungguhnya Kami menimpakan atas mereka satu suara yang keras mengguntur, maka jadilah mereka seperti rumput kering (yang dikumpulkan oleh) yang punya kandang binatang.

Behold, We let loose upon them one single blast [of Our punishment], and they became like the dried-up, crumbling twigs of a sheepfold.

Dan sesungguhnya telah Kami mudahkan Al Quran untuk pelajaran, maka adakah orang yang mengambil pelajaran?

Hence, indeed, We made this Qur’an easy to bear in mind: who, then, is willing to take it to heart?

Kaum Luth-pun telah mendustakan ancaman-ancaman (nabinya).

LOT ’S PEOPLE [too] gave the lie to all [Our] warn­ings:

Sesungguhnya Kami telah menghembuskan kepada mereka angin yang membawa batu-batu (yang menimpa mereka), kecuali keluarga Luth. Mereka Kami selamatkan sebelum fajar menyingsing,

[and so,] behold, We let loose upon them a deadly tempest; and only Lot ’s kinsfolk did We save at the break of dawn,

sebagai nikmat dari Kami. Demikianlah Kami memberi balasan kepada orang-orang yang bersyukur,

as a blessing from Us: thus do We reward all who are grateful.

Dan sesungguhnya dia (Luth) telah memperingatkan mereka akan azab-azab Kami, maka mereka mendustakan ancaman-ancaman itu.

For he had truly warned them of Our punishing might; but they stubbornly cast doubt on these warn­ings,

Dan sesungguhnya mereka telah membujuknya (agar menyerahkan) tamunya (kepada mereka), lalu Kami butakan mata mereka, maka rasakanlah azab-Ku dan ancaman-ancaman-Ku.

and even demanded that he give up his guests [to them]: whereupon We deprived them of their sight [and thus told them, as it were]: “Taste, then, the suffering which I inflict when My warnings are disregarded!”

Dan sesungguhnya pada esok harinya mereka ditimpa azab yang kekal.

And, indeed, abiding suffering did befall them early on the morrow:

Maka rasakanlah azab-Ku dan ancaman-ancaman-Ku.

“Taste, then, the suffering which I inflict when My warnings are disregarded!”

Dan sesungguhnya telah Kami mudahkan Al Quran untuk pelajaran, maka adakah orang yang mengambil pelajaran?

Hence, indeed, We made this Qur’an easy to bear in mind: who, then, is willing to take it to heart?

Dan sesungguhnya telah datang kepada kaum Fir'aun ancaman-ancaman.

Now surely, unto Pharaoh’s folk [too] came such warnings;

Mereka mendustakan mukjizat Kami semuanya, lalu Kami azab mereka sebagai azab dari Yang Maha Perkasa lagi Maha Kuasa

they, too, gave the lie to all Our messages: and thereupon We took them to task as only the Almighty, who determines all things, can take to task.

Apakah orang-orang kafirmu (hai kaum musyrikin) lebih baik dari mereka itu, atau apakah kamu telah mempunyai jaminan kebebasan (dari azab) dalam Kitab-kitab yang dahulu

ARE, THEN, those of you who [now] deny the truth better than those others - or have you, per­chance, [been promised] immunity in the [ancient] books of [divine] wisdom?

Atau apakah mereka mengatakan: "Kami adalah satu golongan yang bersatu yang pasti menang".

Or do they say, “We are a group united, [and therefore] bound to prevail”?

Golongan itu pasti akan dikalahkan dan mereka akan mundur ke belakang.

[Yet] the hosts [of those who deny the truth] shall be routed, and they shall turn their backs [in flight]!

Sebenarnya hari kiamat itulah hari yang dijanjikan kepada mereka dan kiamat itu lebih dahsyat dan lebih pahit.

But nay - the Last Hour is the time when they shall truly meet their fate; and that Last Hour will be most calamitous, and most bitter:

Sesungguhnya orang-orang yang berdosa berada dalam kesesatan (di dunia) dan dalam neraka.

for, behold, those who are lost in sin [will at that time come to know that it is they who] were sunk in error and folly!

(Ingatlah) pada hari mereka diseret ke neraka atas muka mereka. (Dikatakan kepada mereka): "Rasakanlah sentuhan api neraka!"

On the Day when they shall be dragged into the fire on their faces, [they will be told:] “Taste now the touch of hell-fire!”

Sesungguhnya Kami menciptakan segala sesuatu menurut ukuran.

BEHOLD, everything have We created in due measure and proportion;

Dan perintah Kami hanyalah satu perkataan seperti kejapan mata.

and Our ordaining [a thing and its coming into being] is but one [act], like the twinkling of an eye.

Dan sesungguhnya telah Kami binasakan orang yang serupa dengan kamu. Maka adakah orang yang mau mengambil pelajaran?

Thus, indeed, did We destroy people like you [in the past]: who, then, is willing to take it to heart?

Dan segala sesuatu yang telah mereka perbuat tercatat dalam buku-buku catatan

[They were truly guilty] because all [the evil] that they ever did had been [revealed to them as such] in the [ancient] books of [divine] wisdom;

Dan segala (urusan) yang kecil maupun yang besar adalah tertulis.

and everything [that man does], be it small or great, is recorded [with God].

Sesungguhnya orang-orang yang bertakwa itu di dalam taman-taman dan sungai-sungai,

[Hence, too,] behold, the God-conscious will find themselves in [a paradise of] gardens and running waters,

di tempat yang disenangi di sisi Tuhan Yang Berkuasa.

in a seat of truth, in the presence of a Sovereign who determines all things.
