And We gave him the good news of Isaac - a prophet,- one of the Righteous.
113. Wa baaraknaa 'alaihi wa 'alaaa Ishaaq; wa min zurriyya tihimaa muhsinunw wa zaalimul linafsihee mubeen (section 3)

وَبَارَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَىٰ إِسْحَاقَ ۚ وَمِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحْسِنٌ وَظَالِمٌ لِنَفْسِهِ مُبِينٌ

We blessed him and Isaac: but of their progeny are (some) that do right, and (some) that obviously do wrong, to their own souls.
114. Wa laqad mananna alaa Moosaa wa Haaroon

وَلَقَدْ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَارُونَ

Again (of old) We bestowed Our favour on Moses and Aaron,

وَآتَيْنَاهُمَا الْكِتَابَ الْمُسْتَبِينَ

And We gave them the Book which helps to make things clear;
118. Wa hadainaahumus Siraatal Mustaqeem

وَهَدَيْنَاهُمَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ

And We guided them to the Straight Way.
119. Wa taraknaa 'alaihimaa fil aakhireen

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِمَا فِي الْآخِرِينَ

And We left (this blessing) for them among generations (to come) in later times:
120. Salaamun 'alaa Moosaa wa Haaroon

سَلَامٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَارُونَ

"Peace and salutation to Moses and Aaron!"
121. Innaa kazaalika najzil muhsineen

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ

Thus indeed do We reward those who do right.
122. Innahumaa min 'ibaadinal mu'mineen

إِنَّهُمَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

For they were two of our believing Servants.
123. Wa inna Ilyaasa laminal mursaleen

وَإِنَّ إِلْيَاسَ لَمِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ

126. Allaaha Rabbakum wa Rabba aabaaa'ikumul awwaleen

اللَّهَ رَبَّكُمْ وَرَبَّ آبَائِكُمُ الْأَوَّلِينَ

" Allah, your Lord and Cherisher and the Lord and Cherisher of your fathers of old?"
127. Fakazzaboohu fa inna hum lamuhdaroon

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ

But they rejected him, and they will certainly be called up (for punishment),-
128. Illaa 'ibaadal laahil mukhlaseen

إِلَّا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ الْمُخْلَصِينَ

Except the sincere and devoted Servants of Allah (among them).
129. Wa taraknaa 'alaihi fil aakhireen

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِي الْآخِرِينَ

And We left (this blessing) for him among generations (to come) in later times:
130. Salaamun 'alaaa Ilyaaseen

سَلَامٌ عَلَىٰ إِلْ يَاسِينَ

"Peace and salutation to such as Elias!"
131. Innaa kazaalika najzil muhsineen

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ

Thus indeed do We reward those who do right.

إِنَّهُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

For he was one of our believing Servants.

وَإِنَّ لُوطًا لَمِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ

So also was Lut among those sent (by Us).
134. Iz najjainaahu wa ahlahooo ajma'een

إِذْ نَجَّيْنَاهُ وَأَهْلَهُ أَجْمَعِينَ

Behold, We delivered him and his adherents, all
135. Illaa 'ajoozan fil ghaabireen

إِلَّا عَجُوزًا فِي الْغَابِرِينَ

Except an old woman who was among those who lagged behind:
136. Summa dammarnal aakhareen

ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا الْآخَرِينَ

Then We destroyed the rest.
137. Wa innakum latamurroona 'alaihim musbiheen

وَإِنَّكُمْ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهِمْ مُصْبِحِينَ

Verily, ye pass by their (sites), by day-
138. Wa billail; afalaa ta'qiloon (section 4)

وَبِاللَّيْلِ ۗ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ

And by night: will ye not understand?
139. Wa inna Yoonusa laminal mursaleen

وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ

140. Iz abaqa ilal fulkil mash hoon

إِذْ أَبَقَ إِلَى الْفُلْكِ الْمَشْحُونِ

When he ran away (like a slave from captivity) to the ship (fully) laden,
141. Fasaahama fakaana minal mudhadeen

فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ الْمُدْحَضِينَ

He (agreed to) cast lots, and he was condemned:
142. Faltaqamahul hootu wa huwa muleem

فَالْتَقَمَهُ الْحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌ

Then the big Fish did swallow him, and he had done acts worthy of blame.
143. Falaw laaa annahoo kaana minal musabbiheen

فَلَوْلَا أَنَّهُ كَانَ مِنَ الْمُسَبِّحِينَ

Had it not been that he (repented and) glorified Allah,
144. Lalabisa fee batniheee ilaa Yawmi yub'asoon

لَلَبِثَ فِي بَطْنِهِ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ

He would certainly have remained inside the Fish till the Day of Resurrection.
145. Fanabaznaahu bil'araaa'i wa huwa saqeem

فَنَبَذْنَاهُ بِالْعَرَاءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٌ

But We cast him forth on the naked shore in a state of sickness,
146. Wa ambatnaa 'alaihi shajaratam mai yaqteen

وَأَنْبَتْنَا عَلَيْهِ شَجَرَةً مِنْ يَقْطِينٍ

وَأَرْسَلْنَاهُ إِلَىٰ مِائَةِ أَلْفٍ أَوْ يَزِيدُونَ

فَاسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَلِرَبِّكَ الْبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ الْبَنُونَ

Now ask them their opinion: Is it that thy Lord has (only) daughters, and they have sons?-
150. Am khalaqnal malaaa'i kata inaasanw wa hum shaahidoon

أَمْ خَلَقْنَا الْمَلَائِكَةَ إِنَاثًا وَهُمْ شَاهِدُونَ

151. Alaaa innahum min ifkihim la yaqooloon

أَلَا إِنَّهُمْ مِنْ إِفْكِهِمْ لَيَقُولُونَ

Is it not that they say, from their own invention,

وَلَدَ اللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَاذِبُونَ

" Allah has begotten children"? but they are liars!

مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ

What is the matter with you? How judge ye?
155. Afalaa tazakkaroon

Will ye not then receive admonition?
156. Am lakum sultaanum mubeen

أَمْ لَكُمْ سُلْطَانٌ مُبِينٌ

Or have ye an authority manifest?
157. Faatoo bi Kitaabikum in kuntum saadiqeen

Then bring ye your Book (of authority) if ye be truthful!
158. Wa ja'aloo bainahoo wa bainal jinnati nasabaa; wa laqad 'alimatil jinnatu innahum lamuhdaroon

وَجَعَلُوا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْجِنَّةِ نَسَبًا ۚ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ الْجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ

And they have invented a blood-relationship between Him and the Jinns: but the Jinns know (quite well) that they have indeed to appear (before his Judgment-Seat)!
159. Subhaanal laahi 'ammaa yasifoon

سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

Glory to Allah! (He is free) from the things they ascribe (to Him)!
160. Illaa 'ibaadal laahil mukhlaseen

إِلَّا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ الْمُخْلَصِينَ

Not (so do) the Servants of Allah, sincere and devoted.
161. Fa innakum wa maa ta'budoon

فَإِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ

For, verily, neither ye nor those ye worship-
162. Maaa antum 'alaihi bi faaatineen

مَا أَنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَاتِنِينَ

Can lead (any) into temptation concerning Allah,
163. Illaa man huwa saalil jaheem

إِلَّا مَنْ هُوَ صَالِ الْجَحِيمِ

Except such as are (themselves) going to the blazing Fire!
164. Wa maa minnaaa illaa lahoo maqaamun ma'loom

وَمَا مِنَّا إِلَّا لَهُ مَقَامٌ مَعْلُومٌ

(Those ranged in ranks say): "Not one of us but has a place appointed;
165. Wa innaa lanah nus saaffoon

وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ الصَّافُّونَ

"And we are verily ranged in ranks (for service);
166. Wa innaa lanah nul musabbihoon

وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ الْمُسَبِّحُونَ

"And we are verily those who declare ( Allah´s) glory!"
167. Wa in kaanoo la yaqooloon

وَإِنْ كَانُوا لَيَقُولُونَ

And there were those who said,
168. Law anna 'indanaa zikram minal awwaleen

لَوْ أَنَّ عِنْدَنَا ذِكْرًا مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ

"If only we had had before us a Message from those of old,
169. Lakunna 'ibaadal laahil mukhlaseen

لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ الْمُخْلَصِينَ

"We should certainly have been Servants of Allah, sincere (and devoted)!"
170. Fakafaroo bihee fasawfa ya'lamoon

فَكَفَرُوا بِهِ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ

But (now that the Qur´an has come), they reject it: But soon will they know!
171. Wa laqad sabaqat Kalimatunaa li'ibaadinal mursa leen

وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا الْمُرْسَلِينَ

Already has Our Word been passed before (this) to our Servants sent (by Us),
172. Innaa hum lahumul mansooroon

إِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ الْمَنْصُورُونَ

That they would certainly be assisted,
173. Wa inna jundana lahumul ghaaliboon

وَإِنَّ جُنْدَنَا لَهُمُ الْغَالِبُونَ

And that Our forces,- they surely must conquer.
174. Fatawalla 'anhum hatta heen

فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ

So turn thou away from them for a little while,
175. Wa absirhum fasawfa yubsiroon

وَأَبْصِرْهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ

And watch them (how they fare), and they soon shall see (how thou farest)!
176. Afabi'azaabinaa yasta'jiloon

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ

Do they wish (indeed) to hurry on our Punishment?

فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ فَسَاءَ صَبَاحُ الْمُنْذَرِينَ

But when it descends into the open space before them, evil will be the morning for those who were warned (and heeded not)!
178. Wa tawalla 'anhum hattaa heen

وَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ

So turn thou away from them for a little while,
179. Wa absir fasawfa yubsiroon

وَأَبْصِرْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ

And watch (how they fare) and they soon shall see (how thou farest)!
