The sending down of the Book is from God the All-mighty, the All-knowing,

A.J.Arberry 40:2

Forgiver of sins, Accepter of penitence, Terrible in retribution, the Bountiful; there is no god but He, and unto Him is the homecoming.

A.J.Arberry 40:3

None but the unbelievers dispute concerning the signs of God; so let not their going to and fro in the land delude thee.

A.J.Arberry 40:4

5

The people of Noah before them also cried lies, and the parties after them; every nation purposed against their Messenger to seize him, and disputed with falsehood that they might rebut thereby the truth. Then I seized them; and how was My retribution!

A.J.Arberry 40:5

6

Even so the Word of thy Lord was realised against the unbelievers, that they are the inhabitants of the Fire.

A.J.Arberry 40:6

7

Those who bear the Throne, and those round about it proclaim the praise of their Lord, and believe in Him, and they ask forgiveness for those who believe: 'Our Lord, Thou embracest every thing in mercy and knowledge; therefore forgive those who have repented, and follow Thy way, and guard them against the chastisement of Hell.

A.J.Arberry 40:7

Our Lord, and admit them to the Gardens of Eden that Thou hast promised them and those who were righteous of their fathers, and their wives, and their seed; surely Thou art the All-mighty, the All-wise.

And guard them against evil deeds; whomsoever Thou guardest against evil deeds on that day, on him Thou hast had mercy; and that is indeed the mighty triumph.

A.J.Arberry 40:9

10

It shall be proclaimed to the unbelievers, 'Surely God's hatred is greater than your hatred one of another, when you were called unto belief, and disbelieved.'

A.J.Arberry 40:10

11

They shall say, 'Our Lord, Thou hast caused us to die two deaths and Thou hast given us twice to live; now we confess our sins. Is there any way to go forth?'

A.J.Arberry 40:11

12

That is because, when God was called to alone, you disbelieved; but if others are associated with Him, then you believe. Judgment belongs to God, the All-high, the All-great.

A.J.Arberry 40:12

13

It is He who shows you His signs and sends down to you out of heaven provision; yet none remembers but he who repents.

14

So call unto God, making your religion His sincerely, though the unbelievers be averse.

A.J.Arberry 40:14

A.J.Arberry 40:15

16

the day they sally forth, and naught of theirs is hidden from God. 'Whose is' the Kingdom today?' 'God's, the One, the Omnipotent.

A.J.Arberry 40:16

17

Today each soul shall be recompensed for that it has earned; no wrong today. Surely God is swift at the reckoning.'

A.J.Arberry 40:17

18

And warn them against the Day of the Imminent when, choking with anguish, the hearts are in the throats and the evildoers have not one loyal friend, no intercessor to be heeded.

A.J.Arberry 40:18

19

He knows the treachery of the eyes and what the breasts conceal.

A.J.Arberry 40:19

20

God shall decide justly, and those they call on, apart from Him, shall not decide by any means. surely God is the All-hearing, the All-seeing.

A.J.Arberry 40:20

21

What, have they not journeyed in the land and beheld how was the end of those before them? They were stronger than themselves in might and left firmer traces in the earth; yet God seized them in their sins, and they had none to defend them from God.

A.J.Arberry 40:21

22

That was because their Messengers came to them with the clear signs; but they disbelieved, so God seized them. Surely He is All-strong, terrible in retribution.

A.J.Arberry 40:22

23

We also sent Moses with Our signs and a clear authority,

A.J.Arberry 40:23

24

to Pharaoh, Haman and Korah; they said, 'A lying sorcerer!'

A.J.Arberry 40:24

25

And when he brought them the truth from Us, they said, 'Slay the sons of those who believe with him, and spare their women.' But the guile of the unbelievers is ever in error.

And Moses said, 'I take refuge in my Lord and your Lord from every man who is proud, and believes not in the Day of Reckoning.'

If he is a liar, his lying is upon his own head; but if he is truthful, somewhat of that he promises you will smite you. Surely God guides not him who is prodigal and a liar.

A.J.Arberry 40:28

29

O my people, today the kingdom is yours, who are masters in the land. But who will help us, against the might of God, if it comes upon us?' Said Pharaoh, 'I only let you see what I see; I only guide you in the way of rectitude.'
