"The Holy Quran", tr. by Yusuf Ali, [1934],

Sra Ii.: Baqara, Or The Heifer.

Section 4

30.
Wa-ith qala rabbuka lilmala-ikati innee jaAAilun fee al-ardi khaleefatan qaloo atajAAalu feeha man yufsidu feeha wayasfiku aLddimaa wanahnu nusabbihu bihamdika wanuqaddisu laka qala innee aAAlamu ma la taAAlamoonA

30.
Behold, thy Lord said to the angels: "I will create

A vicegerent on earth." They said:


"Wilt Thou place therein one who will make

Mischief therein and shed blood?--

Whilst we do celebrate Thy praises

And glorify Thy holy (name)?"

He said: "I know what ye know not."

31. WaAAallama adama al-asmaa kullaha thumma AAaradahum AAala almala-ikati faqala anbi-oonee bi-asma-i haola-i in kuntum sadiqeenA

31.
And He taught Adam the nature

Of all things; then He placed them

Before the angels, and said: "Tell Me

The nature of these if ye are right.
"

32. Qaloo subhanaka la AAilma lana illa ma AAallamtana innaka anta alAAaleemu alhakeemU

32.
They said: "Glory to Thee: of knowledge

We have none, save what Thou

Hast taught us: in truth it is Thou

Who art perfect in knowledge and wisdom.
"

33. Qala ya adamu anbi/hum bi-asma-ihim falamma anbaahum bi-asma-ihim qala alam aqul lakum innee aAAlamu ghayba aLssamawati waAl-ardi waaAAlamu ma tubdoona wama kuntum taktumoonA

33.
He said: "O Adam! tell them

Their natures.
" When he had told them,

God said: "Did I not tell you

That I know the secrets of heaven

And earth, and I know what ye reveal

And what ye conceal?
"

34. Wa-ith qulna lilmala-ikati osjudoo li-adama fasajadoo illa ibleesa aba waIstakbara wakana mina alkafireenA

34. And behold, We said to the angels:


"Bow down to Adam: "and they bowed down:

Not so Ibls: he refused and was haughty:

He was of those who reject Faith.

35.
Waqulna ya adamu oskun anta wazawjuka aljannata wakula minha raghadan haythu shi/tuma wala taqraba hathihi aLshshajarata fatakoona mina aL"thth"alimeenA

35.
We said: "O Adam! dwell thou

And thy wife in the Garden;

And eat of the bountiful things therein

As (where and when) ye will; but approach not this tree,

Or ye run into harm and transgression.
"

36. Faazallahuma aLshshaytanu AAanha faakhrajahuma mimma kana feehi waqulna ihbitoo baAAdukum libaAAdin AAaduwwun walakum fee al-ardi mustaqarrun wamataAAun ila heenIn

36.
Then did Satan make them slip

From the (Garden), and get them out

Of the state (of felicity) in which

They had been. We said:

"Get ye down, all (ye people),

With enmity between yourselves.

On earth will be your dwelling-place

And your means of livelihood--

For a time.
"

37. Fatalaqqa adamu min rabbihi kalimatin fataba AAalayhi innahu huwa aLttawwabu aLrraheemU

37.
Then learnt Adam from his Lord

Words of inspiration, and his Lord

Turned towards him; for He

Is Oft-Returning, Most Merciful.

38.
Qulna ihbitoo minha jameeAAan fa-imma ya/tiyannakum minnee hudan faman tabiAAa hudaya fala khawfun AAalayhim wala hum yahzanoonA

38.
We said: "Get ye down all from here;

And if, as is sure, there comes to you

Guidance from Me, whosoever

Follows My guidance, on them

Shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.

39.
WaAllatheena kafaroo wakaththaboo bi-ayatina ola-ika as-habu aLnnari hum feeha khalidoonA

39.
\"But those who reject Faith

And belie Our Signs,

They shall be Companions of the Fire;

They shall abide therein."
