The Mansions of the Stars, The Constellations — George Sale Translation – Parallel Quran

1 The Stars

وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الْبُرُوجِ

By the heaven adorned with signs

Waalssama-i thati alburooji

وَالْيَوْمِ الْمَوْعُودِ

by the promised day of judgment

Waalyawmi almawAAoodi

وَشَاهِدٍ وَمَشْهُودٍ

by the witness, and the witnessed

Washahidin wamashhoodin

قُتِلَ أَصْحَابُ الْأُخْدُودِ

cursed were the contrivers of the pit

Qutila as-habu alukhdoodi

النَّارِ ذَاتِ الْوَقُودِ

of fire supplied with fuel

Alnnari thati alwaqoodi

إِذْ هُمْ عَلَيْهَا قُعُودٌ

when they sat round the same

Ith hum AAalayha quAAoodun

وَهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَفْعَلُونَ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ شُهُودٌ

and were witnesses of what they did against the true believers

Wahum AAala ma yafAAaloona bialmu/mineena shuhoodun

وَمَا نَقَمُوا مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا أَن يُؤْمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ الْعَزِيزِ الْحَمِيدِ

And they afflicted them for no other reason, but because they believed in the mighty, the glorious God

Wama naqamoo minhum illa an yu/minoo biAllahi alAAazeezi alhameedi

الَّذِي لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَاللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيدٌ

unto whom belongeth the kingdom of heaven and earth: And God is witness of all things

Allathee lahu mulku alssamawati waal-ardi waAllahu AAala kulli shay-in shaheedun

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ فَتَنُوا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَتُوبُوا فَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ الْحَرِيقِ

Verily for those who persecute the true believers of either sex, and afterwards repent not, is prepared the torment of hell; and they shall suffer the pain of burning

Inna allatheena fatanoo almu/mineena waalmu/minati thumma lam yatooboo falahum AAathabu jahannama walahum AAathabu alhareeqi

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ جَنَّاتٌ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ ذَٰلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْكَبِيرُ

But for those who believe, and do that which is right, are destined gardens beneath which rivers flow: This shall be great felicity

Inna allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati lahum jannatun tajree min tahtiha al-anharu thalika alfawzu alkabeeru

إِنَّ بَطْشَ رَبِّكَ لَشَدِيدٌ

Verily the vengeance of thy Lord is severe

Inna batsha rabbika lashadeedun

إِنَّهُ هُوَ يُبْدِئُ وَيُعِيدُ

He createth, and He restoreth to life

Innahu huwa yubdi-o wayuAAeedu

وَهُوَ الْغَفُورُ الْوَدُودُ

He is inclined to forgive, and gracious

Wahuwa alghafooru alwadoodu

ذُو الْعَرْشِ الْمَجِيدُ

The possessor of the glorious throne

Thoo alAAarshi almajeedi

فَعَّالٌ لِّمَا يُرِيدُ

who effecteth that which He pleaseth

FaAAAAalun lima yureedu

هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْجُنُودِ

Hath not the story of the hosts

Hal ataka hadeethu aljunoodi

فِرْعَوْنَ وَثَمُودَ

of Pharaoh, and of Thamud, reached thee

FirAAawna wathamooda

بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فِي تَكْذِيبٍ

Yet the unbelievers cease not to accuse the divine revelations of falsehood

Bali allatheena kafaroo fee taktheebin

وَاللَّهُ مِن وَرَائِهِم مُّحِيطٌ

But God encompasseth them behind, that they cannot escape

WaAllahu min wara-ihim muheetun

بَلْ هُوَ قُرْآنٌ مَّجِيدٌ

Verily that which they reject is a glorious Koran

Bal huwa qur-anun majeedun

فِي لَوْحٍ مَّحْفُوظٍ

the original whereof is written in a table kept in heaven

Fee lawhin mahfoothin
