1 I swear by the emissary winds, sent one after another (for men's benefit),

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the emissary winds, (sent) one after another

2 And the winds that blow violently

2 By the raging hurricanes,

2 By the raging hurricanes,

3 And [by] the winds that spread [clouds]

3 Which scatter clouds to their destined places,

3 By those which cause earth's vegetation to revive;

4 And those [angels] who bring criterion

4 Then separate them one from another,

4 By those who winnow with a winnowing,

5 And those [angels] who deliver a message

5 Then I swear by the angels who bring down the revelation,

5 By those who bring down the Reminder,

6 To clear or to warn.

6 To excuse or to warn,

7 Indeed, what you are promised is to occur.

7 Most surely what you are threatened with must come to pass.

7 Surely that which ye are promised will befall.
