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

Sra Xxv.: Furqn, Or The Criterion.

Section 4

35.
Walaqad atayna moosa alkitaba wajaAAalna maAAahu akhahu haroona wazeeraN

35.
(Before this,) We sent Moses

The Book, and appointed

His brother Aaron with him

As Minister;

36.
Faqulna ithhaba ila alqawmi allatheena kaththaboo bi-ayatina fadammarnahum tadmeeraN

36.
And We commanded: "Go ye

Both, to the people who

Have rejected our Signs:"

And those (people) We destroyed

With utter destruction.

37.
Waqawma noohin lamma kaththaboo aLrrusula aghraqnahum wajaAAalnahum liLnnasi ayatan waaAAtadna liL"thth"alimeena AAathaban aleemaN

37.
And the people of Noah,--

When they rejected the apostles,

We drowned them,

And We made them

As a Sign for mankind;

And We have prepared

For (all) wrong-doers

A grievous Penalty;--

38.
WaAAadan wathamooda waas-haba aLrrassi waquroonan bayna thalika katheeraN

38.
As also 'Ad and Thamd,

And the Companions

Of the Rass, and many

A generation between them.

39.
Wakullan darabna lahu al-amthala wakullan tabbarna tatbeeraN

39.
To each one We set forth

Parables and examples;

And each one We broke

To utter annihilation

(For their sins).

40.
Walaqad ataw AAala alqaryati allatee omtirat matara aLssaw-i afalam yakoonoo yarawnaha bal kanoo la yarjoona nushooraN

40.
And the (Unbelievers) must indeed

Have passed by the town

On which was rained

A shower of evil: did they not

Then see it (with their own

Eyes)? But they fear not

The Resurrection.

41.
Wa-itha raawka in yattakhithoonaka illa huzuwan ahatha allathee baAAatha Allahu rasoolaN

41.
When they see thee,

They treat thee no otherwise

Than in mockery: "Is this

The one whom God has sent

As an apostle?
"

42. In kada layudilluna AAan alihatina lawla an sabarna AAalayha wasawfa yaAAlamoona heena yarawna alAAathaba man adallu sabeelaN

42.
\"He indeed would well-nigh

Have misled us from

Our gods, had it not been

That we were constant

To them!"--Soon will they

Know, when they see

The Penalty, who it is

That is most misled

In Path!

43.
Araayta mani ittakhatha ilahahu hawahu afaanta takoonu AAalayhi wakeelaN

43.
Seest thou such a one

As taketh for his god

His own passion (or impulse)?

Couldst thou be a disposer

Of affairs for him?

44.
Am tahsabu anna aktharahum yasmaAAoona aw yaAAqiloona in hum illa kaAl-anAAami bal hum adallu sabeelaN

44.
Or thinkest thou that most

Of them listen or understand?

They are only like cattle;--

Nay, they are worse astray

In Path.
