2
[I swear] by the wise Koran!
3
Indeed, you are one of the Messengers
5
This is a Revelation from the Mighty, the Compassionate
6
to make you warn a people whose fathers have not received a Warning and remained carefree.
7
The Word [of God] came true against most of them, but they still do not believe.
8
We have tied chains ’round their necks up to their chins to force their heads up.
9
We have put a barrier before them and a barrier behind them, and We have veiled them to prevent them from seeing.
10
Warn them or warn them not, they will not believe!
11
You can warn only someone who follows the Reminder and secretly fears the Compassionate. So give him the good news of a pardon and a noble reward!
12
Verily, We shall raise the dead! We write down in a clear record what they have brought forth and the traces they have left behind. We have recorded everything in the clear Original [Record]!
13
Give them the example of the dwellers of a town that had been visited by Messengers.
14
We had sent them two [of them], but they rejected them both. Then We sent them a third one in support. They all said: “We’ve been truly sent to you.”
15
[The people] said: “You’re men like us. The Compassionate hasn’t sent anything! You do nothing but lie!”
16
[The Messengers] said: “Our Lord knows that we’ve been sent to you.
17
Our only duty is to deliver a clear Message.”
18
[The people] said: “For us you’re a bad omen. If you don’t give up, we’ll surely stone you II. Eschatology and Apocalypsis and inflict upon you a grievous punishment!”
19
[The Messengers] said: “Your omens concern you alone. Have you not been warned? — Indeed you’re a people transgressing all bounds!”
20
A man came running from the end of the city and said: “O my people, obey the Messengers!
21
Obey those who don’t ask you for a fee and are guided right!
22
How wouldn’t I worship the One, Who has created me, and to Whom you shall all return?
23
Why should I take other gods beside Him? Their intercession wouldn’t help me a bit. They wouldn’t save me if the Compassionate wished to hurt me,
24
and, indeed, I’d be in obvious error.
25
I believe in your Lord, so listen to me!”
26
[He] was told: — Enter the Garden! He said: “Ah! If only my people knew
27
that my Lord forgave me and made me join the honorable ones!”
28
After that We did not send Our Heavenly Hosts against his people — We did not have to send them down!
29
Only one Shout, and they were snuffed out!
30
Woe to [My] slaves! Indeed, as soon as a Messenger comes to them, they mock him.
