Sura X. Yunus, Or Jonah. Section 2

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

Sra X.: Ynus, Or Jonah.

Section 2

11.
Walaw yuAAajjilu Allahu liLnnasi aLshsharra istiAAjalahum biAlkhayri laqudiya ilayhim ajaluhum fanatharu allatheena la yarjoona liqaana fee tughyanihim yaAAmahoonA

11.
If God were to hasten for men

The ill (they have earned)

As they would fain hasten on

The good,--then would

Their respite be settled at once.

But We leave those

Who rest not their hope

On their meeting with Us,

In their trespasses, wandering

In distraction to and fro.

12.
Wa-itha massa al-insana aLddurru daAAana lijanbihi aw qaAAidan aw qa-iman falamma kashafna AAanhu durrahu marra kaan lam yadAAuna ila durrin massahu kathalika zuyyina lilmusrifeena ma kanoo yaAAmaloonA

12.
When trouble toucheth a man,

He crieth unto Us

(In all postures)--lying down

On his side, or sitting,

Or standing. But when We

Have solved his trouble,

He passeth on his way as if

He had never cried to Us

For a trouble that touched him!

Thus do the deeds of transgressors

Seem fair in their eyes!

13.
Walaqad ahlakna alquroona min qablikum lamma "th"alamoo wajaat-hum rusuluhum biAlbayyinati wama kanoo liyu/minoo kathalika najzee alqawma almujrimeenA

13.
Generations before you

We destroyed when they

Did wrong: their Apostles

Came to them with Clear Signs,

But they would not believe!

Thus do We requite

Those who sin!

14.
Thumma jaAAalnakum khala-ifa fee al-ardi min baAAdihim linan"th"ura kayfa taAAmaloonA

14.
Then We made you heirs

In the land after them,

To see how ye would behave!

15.
Wa-itha tutla AAalayhim ayatuna bayyinatin qala allatheena la yarjoona liqaana i/ti biqur-anin ghayri hatha aw baddilhu qul ma yakoonu lee an obaddilahu min tilqa-i nafsee in attabiAAu illa ma yooha ilayya innee akhafu in AAasaytu rabbee AAathaba yawmin AAa"th"eemIn

15.
But when Our Clear Signs

Are rehearsed unto them,

Those who rest not their hope

On their meeting with Us,

Say: "Bring us a Reading

Other than this, or change this,"

Say: "It is not for me,

Of my own accord,

To change it: I follow

Naught but what is revealed

Unto me: if I were

To disobey my Lord,

I should myself fear the Penalty

Of a Great Day (to come).
"

16. Qul law shaa Allahu ma talawtuhu AAalaykum wala adrakum bihi faqad labithtu feekum AAumuran min qablihi afala taAAqiloonA

16.
Say: "If God had so willed,

I should not have rehearsed it

To you, nor whould He

Have made it known to you.

A whole life-time before this

Have I tarried amongst you:

Will ye not then understand?

17.
Faman a"th"lamu mimmani iftara AAala Allahi kathiban aw kaththaba bi-ayatihi innahu la yuflihu almujrimoonA

17.
Who doth more wrong

Than such as forge a lie

Against God, or deny

His Signs? But never

Will prosper those who sin.

18.
WayaAAbudoona min dooni Allahi ma la yadurruhum wala yanfaAAuhum wayaqooloona haola-i shufaAAaona AAinda Allahi qul atunabbi-oona Allaha bima la yaAAlamu fee aLssamawati wala fee al-ardi subhanahu wataAAala AAamma yushrikoonA

18.
They serve, besides God,

Things that hurt them not

Nor profit them, and they say:

"These are our intercessors

With God.
" Say: "Do ye

Indeed inform God of something

He knows not, in the heavens

Or on earth?--Glory to Him!

And far is He above the partners

They ascribe (to Him)!
"

19. Wama kana aLnnasu illa ommatan wahidatan faIkhtalafoo walawla kalimatun sabaqat min rabbika laqudiya baynahum feema feehi yakhtalifoonA

19.
Mankind was but one nation,

But differed (later). Had it not

Been for a Word

That went forth before

From thy Lord, their differences

Would have been settled

Between them.

20.
Wayaqooloona lawla onzila AAalayhi ayatun min rabbihi faqul innama alghaybu lillahi faInta"th"iroo innee maAAakum mina almunta"th"ireenA

20.
They say: "Why is not

A Sign sent down to him

From his Lord?
" Say:


"The Unseen is only

For God (to know).

Then wait ye: I too

Will wait with you.
