| | T.B.Irving rendition of Surah The Emissaries, Winds Sent Forth(al-Mursalat)
--- |
|---|
| 77:1 | | By the [winds] sent forth for a purpose |
| 77:2 | | and gales that rage on and on, |
| 77:3 | | scattering things around; |
| 77:4 | | then dividing them all up, |
| 77:5 | | and delivering a Reminder |
| 77:6 | | either as a plea or a warning, |
| 77:7 | | you (all) are surely promised something inevitable. |
| 77:8 | | When the stars fade away, |
| 77:9 | | when the sky splits open, |
| 77:10 | | when mountains are pulverized |
| 77:11 | | and when messengers´ time is set, |
| 77:12 | | till which day will they be put off? The Day for Sorting Things Out |
| 77:13 | | Till the day for Sorting [things] out! |
| 77:14 | | What will make you realize what the day for Sorting is? |
| 77:15 | | It will be too bad for rejectors on that day! |
| 77:16 | | Did We not wipe out ancient men? |
| 77:17 | | Then We followed them up with later ones. |
| 77:18 | | Thus We deal with criminals! |
| 77:19 | | It will be too bad for rejectors on that day! |
| 77:20 | | Do We not create you (all) from a despised fluid? |
| 77:21 | | We place it in a firm resting-place |
| 77:22 | | for a known period. |
| 77:23 | | We measure it out and how favored are Those Who measure it! |
| 77:24 | | It will be too bad for rejectors on that day! |
| 77:25 | | Have We not placed the earth as a round up |
| 77:26 | | for the living and the dead? |
| 77:27 | | We have planted lofty headlands on it and offered you (all) fresh water to drink. |
| 77:28 | | It will be too bad for rejectors on that day! |
| 77:29 | | Hurry off to whatever you have been rejecting! |
| 77:30 | | Hurry away to shade which has three sections, |
| 77:31 | | which is not shady nor any help against flame. |
| 77:32 | | It throws off sparks like a palace [on fire], |
| 77:33 | | [bright] as a yellow camel herd. |
| 77:34 | | It will be too bad for rejectors on that day! |
| 77:35 | | This will be a day when they will not utter [a sound]; |
| 77:36 | | nor will they be permitted to offer any excuse. |
| 77:37 | | It will be too bad for rejectors on that day! |
| 77:38 | | This is a day for Sorting [things] out; We shall bring you (all) together with the original men. |
| 77:39 | | If you have any scheme, then scheme against me. |
| 77:40 | | It will be too bad for rejectors on that day! Those who Do their Duty |
| 77:41 | | The heedful will be in shady nooks by springs |
| 77:42 | | and have whatever fruit they may hanker for: |
| 77:43 | | "Eat and drink at leisure because of what you have been doing." |
| 77:44 | | Thus We reward those who act kindly. |
| 77:45 | | It will be too bad for rejectors on that day. |
| 77:46 | | Eat and enjoy yourselves for a little while, since you are criminals. |
| 77:47 | | It will be too bad for rejectors on that day. |
| 77:48 | | When someone told them: "Bow your heads!", they would not bow their heads [in prayer]. |
| 77:49 | | It will be too bad for rejectors on that day. |
| 77:50 | | Yet what report will they believe in later on? |
