(saying): 'make large coats of mail and measure their links well. do good deeds, for surely i see the things you do. ' (11) | | أَنِ اعْمَلْ سَابِغَاتٍ وَقَدِّرْ فِي السَّرْدِ وَاعْمَلُوا صَالِحًا إِنِّي بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ ﴿11﴾ |
to solomon the morning course of the wind was a month's journey, and its evening course was also a month's journey. we caused copper to be (as a) molten spring for him. and the jinn, some served him by the permission of his lord. but as for those amongst them that swerved away from our command, we shall let them taste the punishment of the blaze (the fire). (12) | | وَلِسُلَيْمَانَ الرِّيحَ غُدُوُّهَا شَهْرٌ وَرَوَاحُهَا شَهْرٌ وَأَسَلْنَا لَهُ عَيْنَ الْقِطْرِ وَمِنَ الْجِنِّ مَن يَعْمَلُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِ وَمَن يَزِغْ مِنْهُمْ عَنْ أَمْرِنَا نُذِقْهُ مِنْ عَذَابِ السَّعِيرِ ﴿12﴾ |
they made for him whatever he wanted, arches, statues, bowls as basins, and fixed cauldrons. (we said:) 'give thanks, house of david and work. ' yet only a few of my worshipers are thankful. (13) | | يَعْمَلُونَ لَهُ مَا يَشَاءُ مِن مَّحَارِيبَ وَتَمَاثِيلَ وَجِفَانٍ كَالْجَوَابِ وَقُدُورٍ رَّاسِيَاتٍ اعْمَلُوا آلَ دَاوُودَ شُكْرًا وَقَلِيلٌ مِّنْ عِبَادِيَ الشَّكُورُ ﴿13﴾ |
and when we decreed (solomon's) death, they had no indication that he was dead until (they saw a termite), a crawler of the earth eating away his staff. and when he fell down, the jinn realized that had they known the unseen, they would not have continued in their humiliating punishment. (14) | | فَلَمَّا قَضَيْنَا عَلَيْهِ الْمَوْتَ مَا دَلَّهُمْ عَلَى مَوْتِهِ إِلَّا دَابَّةُ الْأَرْضِ تَأْكُلُ مِنسَأَتَهُ فَلَمَّا خَرَّ تَبَيَّنَتِ الْجِنُّ أَن لَّوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ الْغَيْبَ مَا لَبِثُوا فِي الْعَذَابِ الْمُهِينِ ﴿14﴾ |
for sheba there was indeed a sign. in their dwelling place there were two gardens, on the right and left side. (we said): 'eat of your lord's provisions and give thanks to him, a good land, and a lord who is the forgiving. ' (15) | | لَقَدْ كَانَ لِسَبَإٍ فِي مَسْكَنِهِمْ آيَةٌ جَنَّتَانِ عَن يَمِينٍ وَشِمَالٍ كُلُوا مِن رِّزْقِ رَبِّكُمْ وَاشْكُرُوا لَهُ بَلْدَةٌ طَيِّبَةٌ وَرَبٌّ غَفُورٌ ﴿15﴾ |
but they turned away. so we sent against them the flood (at the city) of arim, and exchanged their gardens with two others bearing bitter fruit and tamarisks, and here and there a few lotus trees. (16) | | فَأَعْرَضُوا فَأَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ سَيْلَ الْعَرِمِ وَبَدَّلْنَاهُم بِجَنَّتَيْهِمْ جَنَّتَيْنِ ذَوَاتَى أُكُلٍ خَمْطٍ وَأَثْلٍ وَشَيْءٍ مِّن سِدْرٍ قَلِيلٍ ﴿16﴾ |
as such we recompensed them for their disbelief; do we recompense any except the unbelievers? (17) | | ذَلِكَ جَزَيْنَاهُم بِمَا كَفَرُوا وَهَلْ نُجَازِي إِلَّا الْكَفُورَ ﴿17﴾ |
between them and the villages which we had blessed, we placed easily visible villages, and we spaced the journey between them exactly. (we said): 'travel through them by day and night in safety. ' (18) | | وَجَعَلْنَا بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ الْقُرَى الَّتِي بَارَكْنَا فِيهَا قُرًى ظَاهِرَةً وَقَدَّرْنَا فِيهَا السَّيْرَ سِيرُوا فِيهَا لَيَالِيَ وَأَيَّامًا آمِنِينَ ﴿18﴾ |
but they said: 'lord, make the stages between our journeys longer, ' so they wronged themselves; so we made them news and we tore them utterly into pieces. surely, there are signs in this for every one who is patient, thankful. (19) | | فَقَالُوا رَبَّنَا بَاعِدْ بَيْنَ أَسْفَارِنَا وَظَلَمُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ فَجَعَلْنَاهُمْ أَحَادِيثَ وَمَزَّقْنَاهُمْ كُلَّ مُمَزَّقٍ إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّكُلِّ صَبَّارٍ شَكُورٍ ﴿19﴾ |
iblis' made his guess true to them; and all except for a party of believers followed him. (20) | | وَلَقَدْ صَدَّقَ عَلَيْهِمْ إِبْلِيسُ ظَنَّهُ فَاتَّبَعُوهُ إِلَّا فَرِيقًا مِّنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿20﴾ |
