بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Kwa jina la Mwenyezi Mungu, Mwenye Rehema na Mwenye Kurehemu.

            بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
            ﴿١﴾
          
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Kwa jina la Mwenyezi Mungu, Mwingi wa Rehema, Mwenye Kurehemu.

            الٓمٓر ۚ تِلْكَ ءَايَـٰتُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ ۗ وَٱلَّذِىٓ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ مِن رَّبِّكَ ٱلْحَقُّ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
            ﴿٢﴾
          
Alif, Lam, Meem, Ra. These are the verses of the Book. What has been revealed to you from your Lord is the truth, but most people do not believe.
Alif Lam Mim Ra. Hizi ni Aya za Kitabu. Na kilichoteremshwa kwako kutoka kwa Mola wako ni kweli, lakini watu wengi hawaamini.

            ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى رَفَعَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ بِغَيْرِ عَمَدٍۢ تَرَوْنَهَا ۖ ثُمَّ ٱسْتَوَىٰ عَلَى ٱلْعَرْشِ ۖ وَسَخَّرَ ٱلشَّمْسَ وَٱلْقَمَرَ ۖ كُلٌّۭ يَجْرِى لِأَجَلٍۢ مُّسَمًّۭى ۚ يُدَبِّرُ ٱلْأَمْرَ يُفَصِّلُ ٱلْـَٔايَـٰتِ لَعَلَّكُم بِلِقَآءِ رَبِّكُمْ تُوقِنُونَ
            ﴿٣﴾
          
It is Allah who raised the heavens without pillars that you see; then He established Himself on the Throne and subjected the sun and the moon—each running for a fixed term. He regulates all affairs and explains the signs in detail so that you may be certain of the meeting with your Lord.
Ni Mwenyezi Mungu aliyezinyanyua mbingu bila nguzo mnazoziona; kisha akajielekeza kwenye Arshi na akaitii jua na mwezi—kila kimoja kikiendelea kwa muda uliowekwa. Anaendesha mambo yote na anabainisha Ishara kwa ufafanuzi ili mpate yakini ya kukutana na Mola wenu.

            وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى مَدَّ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَجَعَلَ فِيهَا رَوَٰسِىَ وَأَنْهَـٰرًۭا ۖ وَمِن كُلِّ ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ جَعَلَ فِيهَا زَوْجَيْنِ ٱثْنَيْنِ ۖ يُغْشِى ٱلَّيْلَ ٱلنَّهَارَ ۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَـٰتٍۢ لِّقَوْمٍۢ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ
            ﴿٤﴾
          
And He is the One who spread out the earth, placed firm mountains and rivers in it, and created fruits of every kind in pairs. He covers the day with the night. Surely in that are signs for people who reflect.
Na Yeye ndiye aliyeitandaza ardhi, akaweka humo milima thabiti na mito, na akazalisha humo matunda ya kila aina kwa jozi mbili. Anafunika mchana kwa usiku. Hakika katika hayo zipo Ishara kwa watu wanaotafakari.

            وَفِى ٱلْأَرْضِ قِطَعٌۭ مُّتَجَـٰوِرَٰتٌۭ وَجَنَّـٰتٌۭ مِّنْ أَعْنَـٰبٍۢ وَزَرْعٌۭ وَنَخِيلٌۭ صِنْوَانٌۭ وَغَيْرُ صِنْوَانٍۢ يُسْقَىٰ بِمَآءٍۢ وَٰحِدٍۢ وَنُفَضِّلُ بَعْضَهَا عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍۢ فِى ٱلْأُكُلِ ۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَـٰتٍۢ لِّقَوْمٍۢ يَعْقِلُونَ
            ﴿٥﴾
          
And in the earth are neighboring plots, gardens of grapevines, crops, and date palms, some growing from a single root and others standing alone. They are irrigated with the same water, yet We make some better than others in taste. Surely in that are signs for people who understand.
Na katika ardhi zipo sehemu zilizo karibu, na bustani za mizabibu, na mimea ya nafaka, na mitende inayoota kwa shina moja na mingine kwa shina tofauti. Zote zinamwagiwa maji kwa maji yale yale, lakini Sisi tunazipa baadhi ubora juu ya nyingine katika matunda yake. Hakika katika hayo zipo Ishara kwa watu wanaotumia akili.

            ۞ وَإِن تَعْجَبْ فَعَجَبٌۭ قَوْلُهُمْ أَءِذَا كُنَّا تُرَٰبًا أَءِنَّا لَفِى خَلْقٍۢ جَدِيدٍ ۗ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بِرَبِّهِمْ ۖ وَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلْأَغْلَـٰلُ فِىٓ أَعْنَاقِهِمْ ۖ وَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلنَّارِ ۖ هُمْ فِيهَا خَـٰلِدُونَ
            ﴿٦﴾
          
And if you are astonished, then astonishing is their saying: 'When we have become dust, shall we indeed be created anew?' They are the ones who disbelieve in their Lord. It is such who will have shackles around their necks, and they will be the companions of the Fire, abiding therein forever.
Na ukistaajabu, basi la kustaajabisha ni kauli yao: 'Je, tutakapokuwa udongo, je tutarudishwa katika uumbaji mpya?' Hao ndio waliokufuru kwa Mola wao. Hao watakuwa na minyororo shingoni mwao, na hao ndio watu wa Moto; humo watadumu milele.

            وَيَسْتَعْجِلُونَكَ بِٱلسَّيِّئَةِ قَبْلَ ٱلْحَسَنَةِ وَقَدْ خَلَتْ مِن قَبْلِهِمُ ٱلْمَثُلَـٰتُ ۗ وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَذُو مَغْفِرَةٍۢ لِّلنَّاسِ عَلَىٰ ظُلْمِهِمْ ۖ وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَشَدِيدُ ٱلْعِقَابِ
            ﴿٧﴾
          
They urge you to bring about the evil before the good, though punishments have already occurred before them. But surely your Lord is full of forgiveness for mankind despite their wrongdoing, and indeed your Lord is severe in punishment.
Wanaharakisha kukuomba ulete adhabu kabla ya kheri, ingawa adhabu zimeshapita kabla yao. Lakini hakika Mola wako ana msamaha mkubwa kwa watu licha ya dhulma zao, na hakika Mola wako ni Mkali mno katika adhabu.

            وَيَقُولُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لَوْلَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَيْهِ ءَايَةٌۭ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦٓ ۗ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرٌۭ ۖ وَلِكُلِّ قَوْمٍ هَادٍ
            ﴿٨﴾
          
And the disbelievers say: 'Why has a sign not been sent down to him from his Lord?' You are only a warner, and for every people there is a guide.
Na waliokufuru husema: 'Mbona hakuteremshiwa Ishara kutoka kwa Mola wake?' Wewe si chochote ila ni mwonyaji. Na kila taifa lina mwongozaji wake.

            ٱللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَحْمِلُ كُلُّ أُنثَىٰ وَمَا تَغِيضُ ٱلْأَرْحَامُ وَمَا تَزْدَادُ ۖ وَكُلُّ شَىْءٍ عِندَهُۥ بِمِقْدَارٍ
            ﴿٩﴾
          
Allah knows what every female carries, and what the wombs decrease or increase. And everything with Him is in due measure.
Mwenyezi Mungu anajua kila jike anachobeba, na yanayopungua katika mimba na yanayoongezeka. Na kila kitu kiko kwake kwa kipimo.

            عَـٰلِمُ ٱلْغَيْبِ وَٱلشَّهَـٰدَةِ ٱلْكَبِيرُ ٱلْمُتَعَالِ
            ﴿١٠﴾
          
Knower of the unseen and the seen, the Great, the Most High.
Mwenye kujua yaliyo fichwa na yaliyo dhahiri, Mkubwa, Aliye juu mno.

            سَوَآءٌۭ مِّنكُم مَّنْ أَسَرَّ ٱلْقَوْلَ وَمَن جَهَرَ بِهِۦ وَمَنْ هُوَ مُسْتَخْفٍۭ بِٱلَّيْلِ وَسَارِبٌۢ بِٱلنَّهَارِ
            ﴿١١﴾
          
It is the same whether any of you conceal his speech or proclaim it openly, or whether he hides by night or goes forth by day.
Ni sawa kwa yeyote miongoni mwenu akificha kauli yake au akaiweka wazi, na kwa aliyejificha usiku au anayetembea mchana.

            لَهُۥ مُعَقِّبَـٰتٌۭ مِّنۢ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِۦ يَحْفَظُونَهُۥ مِنْ أَمْرِ ٱللَّهِ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُغَيِّرُ مَا بِقَوْمٍ حَتَّىٰ يُغَيِّرُوا۟ مَا بِأَنفُسِهِمْ ۗ وَإِذَآ أَرَادَ ٱللَّهُ بِقَوْمٍۢ سُوٓءًۭا فَلَا مَرَدَّ لَهُۥ ۚ وَمَا لَهُم مِّن دُونِهِۦ مِن وَالٍ
            ﴿١٢﴾
          
For each one are successive angels before him and behind him, who guard him by the command of Allah. Indeed, Allah does not change the condition of a people until they change what is within themselves. And when Allah wills harm for a people, there is no turning it back; and besides Him they have no protector.
Kila mtu ana walinzi wanaofuata mbele yake na nyuma yake, wanaomlinda kwa amri ya Mwenyezi Mungu. Hakika Mwenyezi Mungu habadili hali ya watu mpaka wabadilishe yaliyo ndani ya nafsi zao. Na Mwenyezi Mungu akitaka watu wabebeshwe mabaya, hapana wa kuyazuia. Wala wao hawana mlinzi isipokuwa Yeye.

            هُوَ ٱلَّذِى يُرِيكُمُ ٱلْبَرْقَ خَوْفًۭا وَطَمَعًۭا وَيُنشِئُ ٱلسَّحَابَ ٱلثِّقَالَ
            ﴿١٣﴾
          
It is He who shows you the lightning, inspiring fear and hope, and produces the heavy clouds.
Yeye ndiye anayekunyesheni radi kwa hofu na tamaa, na ndiye anayezalisha mawingu mazito.

            وَيُسَبِّحُ ٱلرَّعْدُ بِحَمْدِهِۦ وَٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ مِنْ خِيفَتِهِۦ وَيُرْسِلُ ٱلصَّوَٰعِقَ فَيُصِيبُ بِهَا مَن يَشَآءُ وَهُمْ يُجَـٰدِلُونَ فِى ٱللَّهِ وَهُوَ شَدِيدُ ٱلْمِحَالِ
            ﴿١٤﴾
          
The thunder glorifies His praise, and the angels too, out of awe of Him. And He sends the thunderbolts, striking with them whom He wills, while they dispute about Allah; yet He is mighty in power.
Radi inamtakasa kwa sifa zake, na malaika pia kwa kuogopa kwake. Na anapeleka radi za kutisha, akampiga kwa hizo amtakaye. Nao wanabishana juu ya Mwenyezi Mungu, naye ni Mkali mno wa nguvu.

            لَهُۥ دَعْوَةُ ٱلْحَقِّ ۖ وَٱلَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِۦ لَا يَسْتَجِيبُونَ لَهُم بِشَىْءٍ إِلَّا كَبَـٰسِطِ كَفَّيْهِ إِلَى ٱلْمَآءِ لِيَبْلُغَ فَاهُ وَمَا هُوَ بِبَـٰلِغِهِۦ ۚ وَمَا دُعَآءُ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ إِلَّا فِى ضَلَـٰلٍۢ
            ﴿١٥﴾
          
To Him alone is the true call. And those they invoke besides Him do not respond to them in any way—like one who stretches his hands towards water, hoping it will reach his mouth, but it never does. The prayer of the disbelievers is nothing but in vain.
Yeye ndiye anayestahiki wito wa haki. Na wale wanaowaomba wasio kuwa Yeye hawajibu kitu chochote, mfano wao ni kama anayenyosha mikono yake kwa maji ili yafike kinywani mwake, lakini hayafiki. Na maombi ya makafiri hayamo ila katika upotofu.

            وَلِلَّهِ يَسْجُدُ مَن فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ طَوْعًۭا وَكَرْهًۭا وَظِلَـٰلُهُم بِٱلْغُدُوِّ وَٱلْـَٔاصَالِ ۩
            ﴿١٦﴾
          
To Allah prostrates whoever is in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, as do their shadows in the mornings and the evenings.
Na anasujudu kwa Mwenyezi Mungu aliye mbinguni na ardhini, kwa hiari na kwa kulazimishwa, na vivuli vyao pia asubuhi na jioni.

            قُلْ مَن رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ قُلِ ٱللَّهُ ۚ قُلْ أَفَٱتَّخَذْتُم مِّن دُونِهِۦٓ أَوْلِيَآءَ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ لِأَنفُسِهِمْ نَفْعًۭا وَلَا ضَرًّۭا ۚ قُلْ هَلْ يَسْتَوِى ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ وَٱلْبَصِيرُ أَمْ هَلْ تَسْتَوِى ٱلظُّلُمَـٰتُ وَٱلنُّورُ ۗ أَمْ جَعَلُوا۟ لِلَّهِ شُرَكَآءَ خَلَقُوا۟ كَخَلْقِهِۦ فَتَشَـٰبَهَ ٱلْخَلْقُ عَلَيْهِمْ ۚ قُلِ ٱللَّهُ خَـٰلِقُ كُلِّ شَىْءٍۢ وَهُوَ ٱلْوَٰحِدُ ٱلْقَهَّـٰرُ
            ﴿١٧﴾
          
Say, 'Who is the Lord of the heavens and the earth?' Say, 'Allah.' Say, 'Have you then taken besides Him protectors who cannot benefit or harm themselves?' Say, 'Is the blind equal to the seeing? Or is the darkness equal to the light? Or have they assigned partners to Allah who created like His creation so that the creation seemed similar to them?' Say, 'Allah is the Creator of everything, and He is the One, the Irresistible.'
Sema: 'Ni nani Mola wa mbingu na ardhi?' Sema: 'Mwenyezi Mungu.' Sema: 'Basi je, mmetwaa walinzi badala yake wasioweza kujifaidia wala kujidhuru?' Sema: 'Je, kipofu na mwenye kuona wako sawa? Au giza na nuru ziko sawa? Au wamefanya washirika kwa Mwenyezi Mungu walioumba kama alivyoumba Yeye, hata uumbaji ukawashangaza?' Sema: 'Mwenyezi Mungu ndiye Muumba wa kila kitu, naye ndiye Mmoja, Mshindi.'

            أَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءًۭ فَسَالَتْ أَوْدِيَةٌۢ بِقَدَرِهَا فَٱحْتَمَلَ ٱلسَّيْلُ زَبَدًۭا رَّابِيًۭا ۚ وَمِمَّا يُوقِدُونَ عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلنَّارِ ٱبْتِغَآءَ حِلْيَةٍ أَوْ مَتَـٰعٍۢ زَبَدٌۭ مِّثْلُهُۥ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يَضْرِبُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْحَقَّ وَٱلْبَـٰطِلَ ۚ فَأَمَّا ٱلزَّبَدُ فَيَذْهَبُ جُفَآءًۭ ۖ وَأَمَّا مَا يَنفَعُ ٱلنَّاسَ فَيَمْكُثُ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يَضْرِبُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْأَمْثَالَ
            ﴿١٨﴾
          
He sends down water from the sky, and valleys flow according to their measure, and the torrent carries swelling foam. And from that which they heat in the fire to make ornaments or utensils comes a similar foam. Thus Allah illustrates truth and falsehood. As for the foam, it passes away as scum, but what benefits people remains in the earth. Thus Allah sets forth parables.
Ameteremsha maji kutoka mbinguni, yakapita mabonde kwa kadiri yake, na mafuriko yakachukua povu linaloinuka. Na kutokana na yale wanayoyeyusha motoni kwa ajili ya kutengeneza mapambo au vyombo, hutokea povu kama hilo. Hivyo ndivyo Mwenyezi Mungu anavyopiga mifano ya haki na batili. Ama povu huondoka bure, na yale yanayowanufaisha watu hubakia ardhini. Hivyo ndivyo Mwenyezi Mungu anavyopiga mifano.

            لِلَّذِينَ ٱسْتَجَابُوا۟ لِرَبِّهِمُ ٱلْحُسْنَىٰ ۚ وَٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ يَسْتَجِيبُوا۟ لَهُۥ لَوْ أَنَّ لَهُم مَّا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًۭا وَمِثْلَهُۥ مَعَهُۥ لَٱفْتَدَوْا۟ بِهِۦٓ ۚ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ سُوٓءُ ٱلْحِسَابِ وَمَأْوَىٰهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ ۖ وَبِئْسَ ٱلْمِهَادُ
            ﴿١٩﴾
          
For those who respond to their Lord is the best reward; but those who do not respond to Him—if they had all that is in the earth, and as much again with it, they would surely offer it as ransom. It is they who will have an evil reckoning, and their abode is Hell. What a terrible resting place!
Wale walioitikia Mola wao watapata malipo mazuri. Lakini wale ambao hawakuitikia, lau wangekuwa na vyote vilivyomo duniani na mfano wake pamoja nacho, bila shaka wangetoa kama fidia. Hao watapata hesabu mbaya, na makao yao yatakuwa Jahannam, na ni pahala pabaya pa kukaa.

            ۞ أَفَمَن يَعْلَمُ أَنَّمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ مِن رَّبِّكَ ٱلْحَقُّ كَمَنْ هُوَ أَعْمَىٰٓ ۚ إِنَّمَا يَتَذَكَّرُ أُو۟لُوا۟ ٱلْأَلْبَـٰبِ
            ﴿٢٠﴾
          
Is then he who knows that what has been revealed to you from your Lord is the truth like one who is blind? Only those of understanding will be mindful.
Je, yule anayejua kuwa kile kilichoteremshwa kwako kutoka kwa Mola wako ni kweli ni sawa na yule kipofu? Hakika ni watu wenye akili tu ndio wanaokumbuka.

            ٱلَّذِينَ يُوفُونَ بِعَهْدِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَا يَنقُضُونَ ٱلْمِيثَـٰقَ
            ﴿٢١﴾
          
Those who fulfill the covenant of Allah and do not break the agreement.
Wale wanaotimiza ahadi ya Mwenyezi Mungu na hawavunji agano.

            وَٱلَّذِينَ يَصِلُونَ مَآ أَمَرَ ٱللَّهُ بِهِۦٓ أَن يُوصَلَ وَيَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ وَيَخَافُونَ سُوٓءَ ٱلْحِسَابِ
            ﴿٢٢﴾
          
And those who join that which Allah has commanded to be joined, fear their Lord, and dread the terrible reckoning.
Na wale wanaounganisha yale ambayo Mwenyezi Mungu ameamuru yaunganishwe, na wanamcha Mola wao, na wanaogopa hesabu mbaya.

            وَٱلَّذِينَ صَبَرُوا۟ ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِمْ وَأَقَامُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَأَنفَقُوا۟ مِمَّا رَزَقْنَـٰهُمْ سِرًّۭا وَعَلَانِيَةًۭ وَيَدْرَءُونَ بِٱلْحَسَنَةِ ٱلسَّيِّئَةَ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ عُقْبَى ٱلدَّارِ
            ﴿٢٣﴾
          
And those who patiently seek the countenance of their Lord, establish prayer, spend out of what We have provided them—secretly and openly—and repel evil with good; it is they who will have the ultimate abode.
Na wale waliovumilia kwa kutafuta radhi za Mola wao, wakasimamisha Swala, wakatoa katika tulivyowaruzuku kwa siri na dhahiri, na wakazima uovu kwa wema; hao ndio watakaopata makao bora ya mwisho.

            جَنَّـٰتُ عَدْنٍۢ يَدْخُلُونَهَا وَمَن صَلَحَ مِنْ ءَابَآئِهِمْ وَأَزْوَٰجِهِمْ وَذُرِّيَّـٰتِهِمْ ۖ وَٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ يَدْخُلُونَ عَلَيْهِم مِّن كُلِّ بَابٍۢ
            ﴿٢٤﴾
          
Gardens of Eternity which they shall enter, along with those who were righteous among their parents, spouses, and descendants. And the angels will enter upon them from every gate.
Bustani za kudumu watakazoziingia, pamoja na wale waliokuwa wema miongoni mwa baba zao, wake zao na wazao wao. Na Malaika wataingia kwao kupitia kila mlango.

            سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَيْكُم بِمَا صَبَرْتُمْ ۚ فَنِعْمَ عُقْبَى ٱلدَّارِ
            ﴿٢٥﴾
          
Peace be upon you for your patience. How excellent is the final home!
Amani iwe juu yenu kwa vile mlivyovumilia. Basi ni makao bora kabisa mwisho wa safari.

            وَٱلَّذِينَ يَنقُضُونَ عَهْدَ ٱللَّهِ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مِيثَـٰقِهِۦ وَيَقْطَعُونَ مَآ أَمَرَ ٱللَّهُ بِهِۦٓ أَن يُوصَلَ وَيُفْسِدُونَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۙ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمُ ٱللَّعْنَةُ وَلَهُمْ سُوٓءُ ٱلدَّارِ
            ﴿٢٦﴾
          
But those who break the covenant of Allah after its binding, and sever what Allah has commanded to be joined, and spread corruption in the land—it is they who will be cursed, and theirs is the worst abode.
Lakini wale wanaovunja ahadi ya Mwenyezi Mungu baada ya kuitimiza, na wanakata yale ambayo Mwenyezi Mungu ameamuru yaunganishwe, na wanafanya ufisadi katika ardhi—hao watapata laana, na watakuwa na makao mabaya kabisa.

            ٱللَّهُ يَبْسُطُ ٱلرِّزْقَ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَيَقْدِرُ ۚ وَفَرِحُوا۟ بِٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَمَا ٱلْحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنْيَا فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ إِلَّا مَتَـٰعٌۭ
            ﴿٢٧﴾
          
Allah expands provision for whom He wills and restricts it. They rejoice in the worldly life, while the worldly life compared to the Hereafter is nothing but a fleeting enjoyment.
Mwenyezi Mungu humkunjulia riziki amtakaye na humkadiria. Na wao wanasherehekea maisha ya dunia, na hali maisha ya dunia mbele ya Akhera si chochote ila ni starehe ya muda mfupi.

            وَيَقُولُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لَوْلَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَيْهِ ءَايَةٌۭ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦ ۗ قُلْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُضِلُّ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَهْدِىٓ إِلَيْهِ مَنْ أَنَابَ
            ﴿٢٨﴾
          
Those who disbelieve say: Why has a sign not been sent down upon him from his Lord? Say: Allah leads astray whom He wills and guides to Himself whoever turns in repentance.
Na waliokufuru husema: Kwa nini ishara haikuteremshiwa kutoka kwa Mola wake? Sema: Mwenyezi Mungu humpoteza amtakaye na humwongoza kwake mwenye kurejea.

            ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَتَطْمَئِنُّ قُلُوبُهُم بِذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ ۗ أَلَا بِذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ ٱلْقُلُوبُ
            ﴿٢٩﴾
          
Those who believe and whose hearts find comfort in the remembrance of Allah. Surely, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest.
Wale walioamini, na nyoyo zao zikawa na utulivu kwa kumkumbuka Mwenyezi Mungu. Hakika kwa kumbuka Mwenyezi Mungu nyoyo hutulia.

            ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ طُوبَىٰ لَهُمْ وَحُسْنُ مَـَٔابٍۢ
            ﴿٣٠﴾
          
Those who believe and do righteous deeds—for them is blessedness and a beautiful return.
Wale walioamini na wakatenda mema—hao watapata kheri na marejeo mema.

            كَذَٰلِكَ أَرْسَلْنَـٰكَ فِىٓ أُمَّةٍۢ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِن قَبْلِهَآ أُمَمٌۭ لِّتَتْلُوَا۟ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَيْكَ وَهُمْ يَكْفُرُونَ بِٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ۚ قُلْ هُوَ رَبِّى لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَإِلَيْهِ مَتَابِ
            ﴿٣١﴾
          
Thus We have sent you among a nation after other nations have passed away, that you may recite to them what We have revealed to you. Yet they disbelieve in the Most Merciful. Say: He is my Lord; there is no god but He. In Him I put my trust, and to Him is my return.
Hivyo ndivyo tulivyokutuma katika umma ambao umma nyingine wamekwisha pita kabla yao, ili uwasomee yale tuliyokufunulia. Lakini wanamkufuru Mwingi wa rehema. Sema: Yeye ndiye Mola wangu, hapana mungu ila Yeye. Kwake nimetegemea, na kwake ndiko marejeo yangu.

            وَلَوْ أَنَّ قُرْءَانًۭا سُيِّرَتْ بِهِ ٱلْجِبَالُ أَوْ قُطِّعَتْ بِهِ ٱلْأَرْضُ أَوْ كُلِّمَ بِهِ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ ۗ بَل لِّلَّهِ ٱلْأَمْرُ جَمِيعًا ۗ أَفَلَمْ يَا۟يْـَٔسِ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ أَن لَّوْ يَشَآءُ ٱللَّهُ لَهَدَى ٱلنَّاسَ جَمِيعًۭا ۗ وَلَا يَزَالُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ تُصِيبُهُم بِمَا صَنَعُوا۟ قَارِعَةٌ أَوْ تَحُلُّ قَرِيبًۭا مِّن دَارِهِمْ حَتَّىٰ يَأْتِىَ وَعْدُ ٱللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُخْلِفُ ٱلْمِيعَادَ
            ﴿٣٢﴾
          
If there were a Qur’an by which mountains could be moved, or the earth cut asunder, or the dead made to speak… But to Allah belongs all command. Have not those who believe yet realized that, if Allah had willed, He would have guided all mankind? Calamities will continue to strike those who disbelieve for what they do, or come near their homes, until Allah’s promise comes to pass. Surely Allah does not fail His promise.
Lau kungekuwa na Qur’ani ambayo milima ingehamishwa kwao, au ardhi ikakatwa kwao, au wafu wakazungumza kwao… lakini mambo yote yako kwa Mwenyezi Mungu. Je, wale walioamini hawajui kuwa lau Mwenyezi Mungu angependa angeliwaongoza watu wote? Na waliokufuru wataendelea kupatwa na msiba kwa yale waliyoyafanya, au ushinde ukaribie nyumba zao, mpaka itakapokuja ahadi ya Mwenyezi Mungu. Hakika Mwenyezi Mungu havunji ahadi.

            وَلَقَدِ ٱسْتُهْزِئَ بِرُسُلٍۢ مِّن قَبْلِكَ فَأَمْلَيْتُ لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ ثُمَّ أَخَذْتُهُمْ ۖ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عِقَابِ
            ﴿٣٣﴾
          
Messengers before you were ridiculed, but I granted respite to those who disbelieved, then I seized them. So how was My punishment!
Na bila shaka Mitume waliotumwa kabla yako walidhihakiwa, lakini niliwapa muda wale waliokufuru, kisha nikawakamata. Basi ikawa vipi adhabu yangu?

            أَفَمَنْ هُوَ قَآئِمٌ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ نَفْسٍۭ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ ۗ وَجَعَلُوا۟ لِلَّهِ شُرَكَآءَ قُلْ سَمُّوهُمْ ۚ أَمْ تُنَبِّـُٔونَهُۥ بِمَا لَا يَعْلَمُ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ أَم بِظَـٰهِرٍۢ مِّنَ ٱلْقَوْلِ ۗ بَلْ زُيِّنَ لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مَكْرُهُمْ وَصُدُّوا۟ عَنِ ٱلسَّبِيلِ ۗ وَمَن يُضْلِلِ ٱللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُۥ مِنْ هَادٍۢ
            ﴿٣٤﴾
          
Is He who watches over every soul and what it earns (like anyone else)? Yet they ascribe partners to Allah. Say: Name them! Or do you inform Him of something He does not know in the earth, or is it just a show of words? Rather, the scheming of the disbelievers has been made attractive to them, and they are turned away from the path. Whoever Allah leaves astray, no one can guide him.
Je, yule anayesimamia kila nafsi kwa yale iliyo yapata ni sawa na mwingine? Lakini wamemfanya Mwenyezi Mungu ana washirika. Sema: Watajeni basi! Au mnamwambia jambo asilolijua katika ardhi, au ni maneno ya juu juu tu? Bali imepambiwa waliokufuru hila zao, na wakazuiliwa na njia. Na amtakayempoteza Mwenyezi Mungu hana wa kumwongoza.

            لَّهُمْ عَذَابٌۭ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا ۖ وَلَعَذَابُ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ أَشَقُّ ۖ وَمَا لَهُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ مِن وَاقٍۢ
            ﴿٣٥﴾
          
For them is punishment in the life of this world, and the punishment of the Hereafter is harder. And they will have no protector against Allah.
Wao wana adhabu katika maisha ya dunia, na bila shaka adhabu ya Akhera ni nzito zaidi. Wala hawatakuwa na mlinzi dhidi ya Mwenyezi Mungu.

            ۞ مَّثَلُ ٱلْجَنَّةِ ٱلَّتِى وُعِدَ ٱلْمُتَّقُونَ ۖ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ ۖ أُكُلُهَا دَآئِمٌۭ وَظِلُّهَا ۚ تِلْكَ عُقْبَى ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَوا۟ ۖ وَّعُقْبَى ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ ٱلنَّارُ
            ﴿٣٦﴾
          
The example of Paradise which the righteous have been promised is [that] beneath it rivers flow. Its provision is everlasting, and so is its shade. That is the outcome for those who feared Allah, but the outcome for the disbelievers is the Fire.
Mfano wa Pepo walioahidiwa wachamngu ni huu: mito inapita chini yake, matunda yake ni ya daima, na vivuli vyake. Hiyo ndiyo mwisho mwema wa wale waliomcha Mwenyezi Mungu, na mwisho wa makafiri ni Moto.

            وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَاتَيْنَـٰهُمُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ يَفْرَحُونَ بِمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ ۖ وَمِنَ ٱلْأَحْزَابِ مَن يُنكِرُ بَعْضَهُۥ ۚ قُلْ إِنَّمَآ أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَعْبُدَ ٱللَّهَ وَلَآ أُشْرِكَ بِهِۦٓ ۚ إِلَيْهِ أَدْعُوا۟ وَإِلَيْهِ مَـَٔابِ
            ﴿٣٧﴾
          
And those to whom We gave the Scripture rejoice at what has been revealed to you, but among the factions are those who deny part of it. Say, 'I have only been commanded to worship Allah and not associate anything with Him. To Him I invite, and to Him is my return.'
Na wale tulio wapa Kitabu wanashangilia yale yaliyoteremshwa kwako. Na katika makundi mengine wako wanaokataa baadhi yake. Sema: Mimi nimeamrishwa nimwabudu Mwenyezi Mungu pekee, wala nisiweke shirika kwake. Kwake ndiko ninapokuita, na kwake ndiko marejeo yangu.

            وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَنزَلْنَـٰهُ حُكْمًا عَرَبِيًّۭا ۚ وَلَئِنِ ٱتَّبَعْتَ أَهْوَآءَهُم بَعْدَ مَا جَآءَكَ مِنَ ٱلْعِلْمِ مَا لَكَ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ مِن وَلِىٍّۢ وَلَا وَاقٍۢ
            ﴿٣٨﴾
          
And thus We have revealed it as an Arabic legislation. And if you were to follow their inclinations after what has come to you of knowledge, you would have against Allah no protector or defender.
Na vivyo hivyo tumeiteremsha hukumu kwa Kiarabu. Na lau ukifuata matamanio yao baada ya ujuzi kukuijia, basi hutakuwa na mlinzi wala mlinzi wa kukukinga mbele ya Mwenyezi Mungu.

            وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلًۭا مِّن قَبْلِكَ وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُمْ أَزْوَٰجًۭا وَذُرِّيَّةًۭ ۚ وَمَا كَانَ لِرَسُولٍ أَن يَأْتِىَ بِـَٔايَةٍ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ ٱللَّهِ ۗ لِكُلِّ أَجَلٍۢ كِتَابٌۭ
            ﴿٣٩﴾
          
And We have already sent messengers before you and assigned to them wives and descendants. And it was not for any messenger to bring a sign except by permission of Allah. For every term is a decree.
Na hakika tulikwisha watuma Mitume kabla yako, na tukawapa wake na dhuria. Na haikuwa kwa Mtume yeyote kuleta hoja ila kwa idhini ya Mwenyezi Mungu. Kila kipindi kina Kitabu chake kilichoandikwa.

            يَمْحُوا۟ ٱللَّهُ مَا يَشَآءُ وَيُثْبِتُ ۖ وَعِندَهُۥٓ أُمُّ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ
            ﴿٤٠﴾
          
Allah eliminates what He wills or confirms, and with Him is the Mother of the Book.
Mwenyezi Mungu hufuta anacho taka, na huacha anacho taka. Na kwake Yupo Mama wa Kitabu.

            وَإِن مَّا نُرِيَنَّكَ بَعْضَ ٱلَّذِى نَعِدُهُمْ أَوْ نَتَوَفَّيَنَّكَ فَإِنَّمَا عَلَيْكَ ٱلْبَلَـٰغُ وَعَلَيْنَا ٱلْحِسَابُ
            ﴿٤١﴾
          
And whether We show you part of what We promise them or We take you in death, upon you is only the duty of notification, and upon Us is the account.
Na kama tukikuonyesha baadhi ya yale tunayowaahidi au tukikufisha, basi juu yako ni kufikisha tu, na juu Yetu ni hisabu.

            أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ أَنَّا نَأْتِى ٱلْأَرْضَ نَنقُصُهَا مِنْ أَطْرَافِهَا ۚ وَٱللَّهُ يَحْكُمُ لَا مُعَقِّبَ لِحُكْمِهِۦ ۚ وَهُوَ سَرِيعُ ٱلْحِسَابِ
            ﴿٤٢﴾
          
Do they not see that We progressively reduce the land from its borders? And Allah decides; there is no adjuster of His decision. And He is swift in account.
Je! Hawaoni kwamba Sisi tunapunguza ardhi kutoka mipakani mwake? Na Mwenyezi Mungu ndiye anayeamua, hakuna wa kupinga hukumu Yake. Naye ni wa haraka mno katika kuhisabu.

            وَقَدْ مَكَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ فَلِلَّهِ ٱلْمَكْرُ جَمِيعًۭا ۖ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَكْسِبُ كُلُّ نَفْسٍۢ ۗ وَسَيَعْلَمُ ٱلْكُفَّـٰرُ لِمَنْ عُقْبَى ٱلدَّارِ
            ﴿٤٣﴾
          
And those before them had already plotted, but to Allah belongs the plan entirely. He knows what every soul earns, and the disbelievers will know for whom is the final home.
Na wale walio kuwa kabla yao walikwisha fanya vitimbi, lakini vitimbi vyote ni vya Mwenyezi Mungu. Anajua kila nafsi inacho chuma. Na makafiri watajua ni nani atakaye kuwa na mwisho mzuri wa Nyumba.

            وَيَقُولُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لَسْتَ مُرْسَلًۭا ۚ قُلْ كَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ شَهِيدًۢا بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَكُمْ وَمَنْ عِندَهُۥ عِلْمُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ
            ﴿٤٤﴾
          
And those who disbelieve say, 'You are not a messenger.' Say, 'Sufficient is Allah as Witness between me and you, and [the witness of] whoever has knowledge of the Scripture.'
Na wale waliokufuru husema: Wewe si Mtume. Sema: Mwenyezi Mungu anatosha kuwa shahidi kati yangu na nyinyi, na pia yule aliye na elimu ya Kitabu.
