スーラ
この章について
このスーラは、列をなして並ぶ者たちにかけた誓いで始まり、神は唯一であると宣言し、星々で飾られた最も近い天を、盗み聞きする悪魔たちに対する守りとして描きます。復活を嘲った者たちが審判の日に互いを責め合う姿を描き、楽園の至福を、地獄の火の底から生えるザックームの木と対比します。続いて一連の預言者たちが登場します。ノア、偶像を打ち壊し火から救われたアブラハム、息子を犠牲に捧げるアブラハムの夢と、それに進んで応じる息子の返答、そして偉大な犠牲によって息子が贖われたこと、さらにイサクについての吉報です。次いでモーセとアロン、バアル崇拝を戒めたエリヤ、ロト、そして大きな魚に呑み込まれ、後に十万の人々のもとへ遣わされたヨナが続きます。これらの物語のいくつかは、その預言者に平安あれという同じ繰り返し句で結ばれます。このスーラは神に娘たちがいるという主張を論駁し、神の栄光を讃える言葉と使徒たちへの平安で締めくくられます。
- 神の唯一性

1
By those ranged in ranks,
-
2
and those who drive [the clouds] firmly,
-
3
and those who recite the Reminder:
-
4
your God is surely One —
-
5
The Lord of the heavens, the earth, and whatever lies between them, and the Lord of the places where [the sun] rises.
-
6
We have adorned the nearest heaven with the adornment of the stars,
-
7
and [made them] a protection against every rebellious devil.
-
8
They cannot listen in on the exalted assembly, and they are pelted from every side,
-
9
driven away; and for them is an unceasing punishment —
-
10
except one who snatches a fragment [of news], and he is pursued by a piercing flame.
-
11
So ask them: are they harder to create, or those [others] We have created? We created them from sticky clay.
-
12
No, you marvel, while they mock.
-
13
When they are reminded, they do not take heed.
-
14
When they see a sign, they ridicule it,
-
15
and they say, “This is nothing but clear sorcery.
-
16
When we have died and become dust and bones, will we really be raised up?
-
17
And our forefathers too?”
-
18
Say, “Yes, and you will be humbled.”
-
19
It will be only a single cry, and at once they will be looking on.
-
20
They will say, “Woe to us! This is the Day of Judgement.”
-
21
[It will be said,] “This is the Day of Decision which you used to deny.”
-
22
“Gather those who did wrong, along with their kind and what they used to worship
-
23
besides God, and lead them to the path of Hellfire.
-
24
And stop them, for they are to be questioned:
-
25
‘Why is it that you do not come to one another’s aid?’”
-
26
No, today they are in full surrender.
-
27
They will turn to one another, questioning each other.
-
28
They will say, “It was you who used to come at us from the right [with force].”
-
29
They will reply, “No, you yourselves were not believers.
-
30
We had no authority over you. No, you were a people who transgressed all bounds.
-
31
So the word of our Lord has come true against us; we will surely taste [the punishment].
-
32
We led you astray, for we ourselves were astray.”
-
33
So on that day they will share in the punishment.
-
34
That is how We deal with the guilty.
-
35
When they were told, “There is no god but God,” they were arrogant,
-
36
and they said, “Are we to abandon our gods for a mad poet?”
-
37
Rather, he came with the truth, attesting to the messengers.
-
38
You will surely taste the painful punishment,
-
39
and you will be repaid only for what you used to do —
-
40
except God’s chosen servants.
-
41
For them is a known provision —
-
42
fruits — and they will be honored
-
43
in Gardens of bliss,
-
44
on couches, facing one another.
-
45
A cup from a flowing spring will be passed around among them,
-
46
white, delicious to those who drink,
-
47
with no harm in it, nor will they be intoxicated by it.
-
48
With them will be [companions] of modest gaze, with beautiful eyes,
-
49
as if they were sheltered eggs.
-
50
They will turn to one another, questioning each other.
-
51
One of them will say, “I had a companion
-
52
who used to say, ‘Are you really one of those who believe [it]?
-
53
When we have died and become dust and bones, will we really be brought to judgement?’”
-
54
He will say, “Would you like to look?”
-
55
Then he will look and see him in the midst of Hellfire.
-
56
He will say, “By God, you almost ruined me!
-
57
Had it not been for the grace of my Lord, I would have been among those brought [to punishment].
-
58
Is it [true] that we will not die,
-
59
except for our first death, and that we will not be punished?
-
60
This is truly the great triumph.”
-
61
For the like of this let all who work, work.
-
62
Is that better as a welcome, or the tree of Zaqqum?
-
63
We have made it a trial for the wrongdoers.
-
64
Truly, it is a tree that springs forth from the root of Hellfire.
-
65
Its fruit is like the heads of devils.
-
66
From it they will eat, filling their stomachs with it.
-
67
Then on top of it they will have a mixture of scalding water.
-
68
Then their return will surely be to Hellfire.
-
69
They found their fathers astray,
-
70
and they hastened in their footsteps.
-
71
Most of the former peoples went astray before them,
-
72
though We had sent warners among them.
-
73
So see what the end of those who had been warned was —
-
74
except God’s chosen servants.
-
75
Noah called out to Us, and how excellent are We as the One who answers!
-
76
We delivered him and his household from the immense affliction,
-
77
and made his descendants the ones who remained.
-
78
And We left for him [a good name] among later generations:
-
79
“Peace be upon Noah among all the worlds.”
-
80
That is how We reward those who do good.
-
81
He was truly one of Our believing servants.
-
82
Then We drowned the others.
-
83
And among his followers was Abraham,
-
84
when he came to his Lord with a sound heart,
-
85
when he asked his father and his people, “What are you worshipping?
-
86
Is it a falsehood — gods besides God — that you desire?
-
87
What then do you think of the Lord of all the worlds?”
-
88
Then he cast a glance at the stars
-
89
and said, “I am unwell.”
-
90
So they turned away from him and left.
-
91
Then he went quietly to their gods and said, “Will you not eat?
-
92
What is the matter with you that you do not speak?”
-
93
Then he turned upon them, striking with his right hand.
-
94
Then [the people] came hurrying toward him.
-
95
He said, “Do you worship what you yourselves carve,
-
96
while God created you and what you make?”
-
97
They said, “Build a structure for him and throw him into the blazing fire.”
-
98
They intended a plot against him, but We made them the lowest.
-
99
He said, “I am going to my Lord; He will guide me.
-
100
My Lord, grant me [a child] from among the righteous.”
-
101
So We gave him good news of a forbearing boy.
-
102
When [the boy] reached the age of working with him, he said, “My dear son, I see in a dream that I am sacrificing you. So consider what you think.” He said, “Father, do as you are commanded. You will find me, if God wills, one of the steadfast.”
-
103
When they had both submitted and he had laid him down on his forehead,
-
104
We called out to him, “Abraham,
-
105
you have fulfilled the vision.” That is how We reward those who do good.
-
106
This was truly the clear test.
-
107
And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice,
-
108
And We left for him [a good name] among later generations:
-
109
“Peace be upon Abraham.”
-
110
That is how We reward those who do good.
-
111
He was truly one of Our believing servants.
-
112
We also gave him the glad tidings of Isaac — a prophet, one of the righteous.
-
113
We bestowed blessings on him and on Isaac. Of the offspring of both, some do good, while others are openly unjust to themselves.
-
114
We certainly bestowed favor upon Moses and Aaron,
-
115
and We delivered the two of them, along with their people, from the immense affliction,
-
116
and We helped them, so they were the victors.
-
117
We gave them the clarifying Book,
-
118
and guided them to the straight path,
-
119
and We left for them [a good name] among later generations:
-
120
“Peace be upon Moses and Aaron.”
-
121
That is how We reward those who do good.
-
122
They were truly two of Our believing servants.
-
123
And Elijah was truly one of the messengers,
-
124
when he asked his people, “Have you no mindfulness of God?
-
125
Will you pray to Baal and forsake the best of all creators —
-
126
God, your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers?”
-
127
Yet they called him a liar, and so they will certainly be summoned [for punishment] —
-
128
except God’s chosen servants.
-
129
And We left for him [a good name] among later generations:
-
130
“Peace be upon Ilyasin [Elijah].”
-
131
That is how We reward those who do good.
-
132
He was truly one of Our believing servants.
-
133
And Lot was truly one of the messengers,
-
134
when We saved him and his family, all of them,
-
135
save for an old woman, who was among those left behind.
-
136
Then We destroyed the others.
-
137
And you pass by their [ruins] in the morning
-
138
and at night. Will you not then use your reason?
-
139
And Jonah was truly one of the messengers,
-
140
when he fled to the laden ship.
-
141
Then he drew lots and was among the losers.
-
142
Then the great fish swallowed him while he was blameworthy.
-
143
Had he not been one of those who glorify [God],
-
144
he would certainly have stayed inside its belly till the day they are resurrected.
-
145
But We cast him onto the bare shore while he was ill,
-
146
and We caused a gourd plant to grow over him.
-
147
We sent him to a hundred thousand or more,
-
148
and they believed, so We let them enjoy [life] for a while.
-
149
So ask them: does your Lord have daughters while they have sons?
-
150
Or did We create the angels female while they were witnesses?
-
151
Indeed, it is out of their falsehood that they say,
-
152
“God has begotten.” They are surely liars.
-
153
Has He chosen daughters over sons?
-
154
What is the matter with you? How do you judge?
-
155
Will you not then take heed?
-
156
Or do you have clear authority?
-
157
Then bring your Book, if you are truthful.
-
158
They have set up a kinship between Him and the jinn, but the jinn know well that they [themselves] will be brought [to judgement].
-
159
Glory be to God, far above what they describe —
-
160
except God’s chosen servants.
-
161
For you and what you worship
-
162
cannot lure anyone away from Him
-
163
except one who is destined to burn in Hellfire.
-
164
[The angels say,] “There is none of us but has a known position.
-
165
We are those who stand in ranks,
-
166
and we are those who glorify [God].”
-
167
And they used to say,
-
168
“If only we had a reminder from the former peoples,
-
169
we would have been God’s chosen servants.”
-
170
Yet they disbelieved in it. They will soon know.
-
171
Our word has already gone forth to Our servants, the messengers,
-
172
that they would surely be the ones helped,
-
173
and that Our host would surely be the victors.
-
174
So turn away from them for a while,
-
175
and watch them, for they too will soon see.
-
176
Do they seek to hasten Our punishment?
-
177
When it descends into their courtyard, evil will be the morning of those who were warned.
-
178
So turn away from them for a while,
-
179
and watch, for they too will soon see.
-
180
Glory be to your Lord, the Lord of might, far above what they describe.
-
181
And peace be upon the messengers.
-
182
And praise be to God, Lord of all the worlds.
