So We gave him good tidings of a forbearing boy.
So We gave him the good news of a boy ready to suffer and forbear.
যখন সে তার পিতার সাথে কাজ করার বয়েসে উপনীত হয়, তখন সে (ইবরাহিম) বলেছিল: ‘আমার পুত্র! আমি স্বপ্ন দেখেছি, আমি তোমাকে যবেহ্ করছি। এখন তুমি বলো এ বিষয়ে তোমার অভিমত কী?’ সে বলেছিল: ‘আব্বু! আপনাকে যা নির্দেশ দেয়া হয়েছে আপনি তাই করুন। ইনশাল্লাহ ( চাইলে) আপনি আমাকে পাবেন ধৈর্যশীল।’
And when he attained to working with him, he said: O my son! surely I have seen in a dream that I should sacrifice you; consider then what you see. He said: O my father! do what you are commanded; if Allah please, you will find me of the patient ones.
And when he reached with him [the age of] exertion, he said, "O my son, indeed I have seen in a dream that I [must] sacrifice you, so see what you think." He said, "O my father, do as you are commanded. You will find me, if Allah wills, of the steadfast."
Then, when (the son) reached (the age of) (serious) work with him, he said: "O my son! I see in vision that I offer thee in sacrifice: Now see what is thy view!" (The son) said: "O my father! Do as thou art commanded: thou will find me, if Allah so wills one practising Patience and Constancy!"
যখন তারা দুজনই আত্মসমর্পণ করলো এবং ইবরাহিম তার পুত্রকে উপুড় করে শুইয়ে দিলো,
So when they both submitted and he threw him down upon his forehead,
And when they had both submitted and he put him down upon his forehead,
So when they had both submitted their wills (to Allah), and he had laid him prostrate on his forehead (for sacrifice),
তখন আমরা তাকে ডেকে বললাম: ‘হে ইবরাহিম!
And We called out to him saying: O Ibrahim!
We called to him, "O Abraham,
We called out to him "O Abraham!
অবশ্যি তুমি স্বপ্নকে সত্যে পরিণত করেছো। আমরা এভাবেই পুরস্কৃত করে থাকি পুণ্যবানদের।
You have indeed shown the truth of the vision; surely thus do We reward the doers of good:
You have fulfilled the vision." Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.
"Thou hast already fulfilled the vision!" - thus indeed do We reward those who do right.
নিশ্চয়ই এটা ছিলো একটা সুস্পষ্ট পরীক্ষা।
Most surely this is a manifest trial.
Indeed, this was the clear trial.
For this was obviously a trial -
অত:পর আমরা তাকে মুক্ত করেছিলাম এক মহাকুরবানির বিনিময়ে।
And We ransomed him with a Feat sacrifice.
And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice,
And We ransomed him with a momentous sacrifice:
আর আমরা পরবর্তীদের মধ্যেও এই কুরবানির রীতি চালু রেখেছি।
And We perpetuated (praise) to him among the later generations.
And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations:
And We left (this blessing) for him among generations (to come) in later times:
সালাম (শান্তি বর্ষিত হোক) ইবরাহিমের প্রতি।
Peace be on Ibrahim.
"Peace upon Abraham."
"Peace and salutation to Abraham!"
পুণ্যবানদের আমরা এভাবেই পুরস্কৃত করি।
Thus do We reward the doers of good.
Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.
Thus indeed do We reward those who do right.
সে ছিলো আমাদের দাসদের একজন।
Surely he was one of Our believing servants.
Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.
For he was one of our believing Servants.
তারপর আমরা তাকে সুসংবাদ দিয়েছিলাম (পুত্র) ইসহাকের। সেও ছিলো একজন যোগ্য নবী।
And We gave him the good news of Ishaq, a prophet among the good ones.
And We gave him good tidings of Isaac, a prophet from among the righteous.
And We gave him the good news of Isaac - a prophet, - one of the Righteous.
আমরা বরকত দান করেছিলাম তাকে এবং ইসহাককেও। তাদের বংশধরদের মধ্যে কিছু কল্যাণপরায়ণ লোকও আছে, আর কিছু আছে নিজেদের প্রতি সুস্পষ্ট যুলুমকারীও।
And We showered Our blessings on him and on Ishaq; and of their offspring are the doers of good, and (also) those who are clearly unjust to their own souls.
And We blessed him and Isaac. But among their descendants is the doer of good and the clearly unjust to himself.
We blessed him and Isaac: but of their progeny are (some) that do right, and (some) that obviously do wrong, to their own souls.
আমরা ইহসান করেছিলাম মূসা এবং হারূণের প্রতি,
And certainly We conferred a favor on Musa and Haroun.
And We did certainly confer favor upon Moses and Aaron.
Again (of old) We bestowed Our favour on Moses and Aaron,
এবং আমরা নাজাত দিয়েছিলাম তাদেরকে এবং তাদের কওমকে মহাসংকট থেকে।
And We delivered them both and their people from the mighty distress.
And We saved them and their people from the great affliction,
And We delivered them and their people from (their) Great Calamity;
আমরা তাদের সাহায্য করেছিলাম, ফলে তারাই হয়েছিল বিজয়ী।
And We helped them, so they were the vanquishers.
And We supported them so it was they who overcame.
And We helped them, so they overcame (their troubles);
আমরা তাদের উভয়কে দিয়েছিলাম সুবিস্তারিত কিতাব।
And We gave them both the Book that made (things) clear.
And We gave them the explicit Scripture,
And We gave them the Book which helps to make things clear;
উভয়কেই পরিচালিত করেছিলাম সিরাতুল মুসতাকিমে (সরল সঠিক পথে)।
And We guided them both on the right way.
And We guided them on the straight path.
And We guided them to the Straight Way.
পরবর্তীদের মাঝে তাদের খ্যাতি সংরক্ষণ করেছি।
And We perpetuated (praise) to them among the later generations.
And We left for them [favorable mention] among later generations:
And We left (this blessing) for them among generations (to come) in later times:
সালাম মূসা এবং হারূণের প্রতি।
Peace be on Musa and Haroun.
"Peace upon Moses and Aaron."
"Peace and salutation to Moses and Aaron!"
আমরা এভাবেই পুরস্কৃত করি পুণ্যবানদের।
Even thus do We reward the doers of good.
Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.
Thus indeed do We reward those who do right.
তারা উভয়েই ছিলো আমাদের দাসদের অন্তরভুক্ত।
Surely they were both of Our believing servants.
Indeed, they were of Our believing servants.
For they were two of our believing Servants.
নিশ্চয়ই ইলিয়াসও ছিলো রসূলদের একজন।
And Ilyas was most surely of the apostles.
And indeed, Elias was from among the messengers,
So also was Elias among those sent (by Us).
স্মরণ করো, সে তার কওমকে বলেছিল: ‘‘তোমরা কি সতর্ক হবেনা?
When he said to his people: Do you not guard (against evil)?
When he said to his people, "Will you not fear Allah?
Behold, he said to his people, "Will ye not fear (Allah)?
তোমরা কি বা’আল (দেবতা) - কেই ডাকবে, আর পরিত্যাগ করবে সর্বশ্রেষ্ঠ স্রষ্টা
What! do you call upon Ba'l and forsake the best of the creators,
Do you call upon Ba'l and leave the best of creators -
"Will ye call upon Baal and forsake the Best of Creators, -
আল্লাহকে, যিনি তোমাদের রব এবং তোমাদের পূর্ব পুরুষদেরও রব?’’
Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your fathers of yore?
Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers?"
"Allah, your Lord and Cherisher and the Lord and Cherisher of your fathers of old?"
কিন্তু তারা তাকে মিথ্যাবাদী বলে প্রত্যাখ্যান করে। সুতরাং তাদেরকে অবশ্যি (শাস্তির জন্যে) হাজির করা হবে।
But they called him a liar, therefore they shall most surely be brought up.
And they denied him, so indeed, they will be brought [for punishment],
But they rejected him, and they will certainly be called up (for punishment), -
তবে আমাদের মুখলিস (নিষ্ঠাবান) বান্দাদের কথা ভিন্ন।
But not the servants of Allah, the purified ones.
Except the chosen servants of Allah.
Except the sincere and devoted Servants of Allah (among them).
আমরা তাকে স্মরণীয় করে রেখেছি পরবর্তীদের মাঝে।
And We perpetuated to him (praise) among the later generations.
And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations:
And We left (this blessing) for him among generations (to come) in later times:
সালাম ইলয়াসিনের (ইলিয়াসের) প্রতি।
Peace be on Ilyas.
"Peace upon Elias."
"Peace and salutation to such as Elias!"
এভাবেই আমরা পুরস্কৃত করি কল্যাণপরায়ণদের।
Even thus do We reward the doers of good.
Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.
Thus indeed do We reward those who do right.
সে ছিলো আমাদের দাসদের একজন।
Surely he was one of Our believing servants.
Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.
For he was one of our believing Servants.
নিশ্চয়ই লুতও ছিলো রসূলদের একজন।
And Lut was most surely of the apostles.
And indeed, Lot was among the messengers.
So also was Lut among those sent (by Us).
আমরা তাকে এবং তার পরিবার পরিজন সবাইকে নাজাত দিয়েছিলাম
When We delivered him and his followers, all - -
[So mention] when We saved him and his family, all,
Behold, We delivered him and his adherents, all
এক বৃদ্ধাকে ছাড়া। সে ছিলো পেছনে পড়াদের একজন।
Except an old woman (who was) amongst those who tarried.
Except his wife among those who remained [with the evildoers].
Except an old woman who was among those who lagged behind:
(তাদের নাজাত দিয়ে) বাকিদের আমরা ধ্বংস করে দিয়েছিলাম।
Then We destroyed the others.
Then We destroyed the others.
Then We destroyed the rest.
তোমরা তাদের ধ্বংসাবশেষগুলো অতিক্রম করো সকালে
And most surely you pass by them in the morning,
And indeed, you pass by them in the morning
Verily, ye pass by their (sites), by day -
এবং রাত্রে। তবু কি তোমরা আকল খাটাবেনা?
And at night; do you not then understand?
And at night. Then will you not use reason?
And by night: will ye not understand?
ইউনুস অবশ্যি রসূলদের একজন।
And Yunus was most surely of the apostles.
And indeed, Jonah was among the messengers.
So also was Jonah among those sent (by Us).
স্মরণ করো, যখন সে পালিয়ে এসে বোঝাই করা নৌযানের কাছে পৌঁছালো।
When he ran away to a ship completely laden,
[Mention] when he ran away to the laden ship.
When he ran away (like a slave from captivity) to the ship (fully) laden,
তারপর সে লটারিতে যোগ দিলো এবং পরাজিত হলো।
So he shared (with them), but was of those who are cast off.
And he drew lots and was among the losers.
He (agreed to) cast lots, and he was condemned:
(ফলে তারা তাকে ফেলে দিলো দরিয়ায়) এবং একটা বিশাল মাছ তাকে গিলে ফেললো। তখন সে নিজেকে তিরস্কার করতে থাকলো।
So the fish swallowed him while he did that for which he blamed himself
Then the fish swallowed him, while he was blameworthy.
Then the big Fish did swallow him, and he had done acts worthy of blame.
সে যদি আল্লাহর তসবিহ ঘোষণাকারী না হতো,
But had it not been that he was of those who glorify (Us),
And had he not been of those who exalt Allah,
Had it not been that he (repented and) glorified Allah,
তাহলে তাকে তার পেটেই থাকতে হতো পুনরুত্থান দিবস পর্যন্ত।
He would certainly have tarried in its belly to the day when they are raised.
He would have remained inside its belly until the Day they are resurrected.
He would certainly have remained inside the Fish till the Day of Resurrection.
তখন আমরা তাকে নিক্ষেপ করলাম এক তরুলতাবিহীন প্রান্তরে এবং তখন ভীষণ অসুস্থ ছিলো সে।
Then We cast him on to the vacant surface of the earth while he was sick.
But We threw him onto the open shore while he was ill.
But We cast him forth on the naked shore in a state of sickness,
আমরা তার উপর উদগত করে দিলাম একটি লাউ গাছ।
And We caused to grow up for him a gourdplant.
And We caused to grow over him a gourd vine.
And We caused to grow, over him, a spreading plant of the gourd kind.
তারপর আমরা তাকে পুনরায় পাঠালাম এক লাখ বা তার চাইতে বেশি লোকের জনপদে।
And We sent him to a hundred thousand, rather they exceeded.
And We sent him to [his people of] a hundred thousand or more.
And We sent him (on a mission) to a hundred thousand (men) or more.
তখন তারা ঈমান আনলো, ফলে আমরা তাদেরকে কিছু কালের জন্যে জীবন ভোগ করতে দিয়েছিলাম।
And they believed, so We gave them provision till a time.
And they believed, so We gave them enjoyment [of life] for a time.
And they believed; so We permitted them to enjoy (their life) for a while.
এখন তুমি তাদের জিজ্ঞেস করো: সব কন্যা সন্তান কি তোমার প্রভুর জন্যে, আর তাদের জন্যে কি সব পুত্র সন্তান?
Then ask them whether your Lord has daughters and they have sons.
So inquire of them, [O Muhammad], "Does your Lord have daughters while they have sons?
Now ask them their opinion: Is it that thy Lord has (only) daughters, and they have sons? -
নাকি আমরা ফেরেশতাদের নারী করে সৃষ্টি করেছি এবং এ ব্যাপারে তারা ছিলো প্রত্যক্ষদর্শী?
Or did We create the angels females while they were witnesses?
Or did We create the angels as females while they were witnesses?"
Or that We created the angels female, and they are witnesses (thereto)?
সাবধান, তারা কথা রচনা করে বলে:
Now surely it is of their own lie that they say:
Unquestionably, it is out of their [invented] falsehood that they say,
Is it not that they say, from their own invention,
‘ সন্তান জন্ম দিয়েছেন।’ আসলে তারা চরম মিথ্যাবাদী।
Allah has begotten; and most surely they are liars.
" Allah has begotten," and indeed, they are liars.
"Allah has begotten children"? but they are liars!
তিনি কি পুত্র সন্তানের পরিবর্তে কন্যা সন্তান বেছে নিয়েছেন?
Has He chosen daughters in preference to sons?
Has He chosen daughters over sons?
Did He (then) choose daughters rather than sons?
তোমাদের হয়েছে কী, তোমাদের এ কেমন বিচার?
What is the matter with you, how is it that you judge?
What is [wrong] with you? How do you make judgement?
What is the matter with you? How judge ye?
তোমরা কি উপদেশ গ্রহণ করবে না?
Will you not then mind?
Then will you not be reminded?
Will ye not then receive admonition?
নাকি তোমাদের কাছে সুস্পষ্ট প্রমাণ আছে?
Or have you a clear authority?
Or do you have a clear authority?
Or have ye an authority manifest?
তবে তোমরা সত্যবাদী হয়ে থাকলে তোমাদের কিতাব নিয়ে আসো।
Then bring your book, if you are truthful.
Then produce your scripture, if you should be truthful.
Then bring ye your Book (of authority) if ye be truthful!
তারা এবং জিনদের মাঝেও আত্মীয়তার সম্পর্ক স্থির করে। অথচ জিনরা জানে, অবশ্যি তাদেরকে হাজির করা হবে বিচারের জন্যে।
And they assert a relationship between Him and the jinn; and certainly the jinn do know that they shall surely be brought up;
And they have claimed between Him and the jinn a lineage, but the jinn have already known that they [who made such claims] will be brought to [punishment].
And they have invented a blood - relationship between Him and the Jinns: but the Jinns know (quite well) that they have indeed to appear (before his Judgment - Seat)!
তারা আল্লাহর প্রতি যা আরোপ করে তিনি তা থেকে পবিত্র, মহান।
Glory be to Allah (for freedom) from what they describe;
Exalted is Allah above what they describe,
Glory to Allah! (He is free) from the things they ascribe (to Him)!
তবে আল্লাহর মুখলিস (একনিষ্ঠ) বান্দারা তা করে না।
But not so the servants of Allah, the purified ones.
Except the chosen servants of Allah [who do not share in that sin].
Not (so do) the Servants of Allah, sincere and devoted.
জেনে রাখো, তোমরা নিজেরা এবং তোমরা যাদের ইবাদত (পূজা, উপাসনা) করো, তারা (সবাই মিলে)
So surely you and what you worship,
So indeed, you [disbelievers] and whatever you worship,
For, verily, neither ye nor those ye worship -
তোমরা কাউকেও আল্লাহর ব্যাপারে বিভ্রান্ত করতে পারবে না।
Not against Him can you cause (any) to fall into trial,
You cannot tempt [anyone] away from Him
Can lead (any) into temptation concerning Allah,
কেবল জাহিমে (জাহান্নামে) প্রবেশকারীকে ছাড়া।
Save him who will go to hell.
Except he who is to [enter and] burn in the Hellfire.
Except such as are (themselves) going to the blazing Fire!
(ফেরেশতারা বলে:)! ‘‘আমাদের প্রত্যেকের জন্যেই রয়েছে নির্ধারিত স্থান।
And there is none of us but has an assigned place,
[The angels say], "There is not among us any except that he has a known position.
(Those ranged in ranks say): "Not one of us but has a place appointed;
আমরা অবশ্যি সারিবদ্ধভাবে দন্ডায়মান।
And most surely we are they who draw themselves out in ranks,
And indeed, we are those who line up [for prayer].
"And we are verily ranged in ranks (for service);
আমরা অবশ্যি আল্লাহর তসবিহ্ (পবিত্রতা ও শ্রেষ্ঠত্ব) ঘোষণাকারী।’’
And we are most surely they who declare the glory (of Allah).
And indeed, we are those who exalt Allah."
"And we are verily those who declare (Allah's) glory!"
তারা তো বলে আসছে:
And surely they used to say:
And indeed, the disbelievers used to say,
And there were those who said,
‘‘আগেকার কিতাবের মতো কোনো কিতাব যদি আমাদের কাছে থাকতো,
Had we a reminder from those of yore,
"If we had a message from [those of] the former peoples,
"If only we had had before us a Message from those of old,
তবে অবশ্যি আমরা আল্লাহর মুখলিস (নিষ্ঠাবান) বান্দা হয়ে যেতাম।’’
We would certainly have been the servants of Allah - - the purified ones.
We would have been the chosen servants of Allah."
"We should certainly have been Servants of Allah, sincere (and devoted)!"
কিন্তু তারা সেটির (কুরআনের) প্রতি কুফুরি করলো, এখন অচিরেই তারা জানতে পারবে (এর পরিণাম)।
But (now) they disbelieve in it, so they will come to know.
But they disbelieved in it, so they are going to know.
But (now that the Qur'an has come), they reject it: But soon will they know!
আমার রসূলদের ব্যাপারে আমার এই ফায়সালা পূর্ব থেকেই স্থির হয়ে আছে যে,
And certainly Our word has already gone forth in respect of Our servants, the apostles:
And Our word has already preceded for Our servants, the messengers,
Already has Our Word been passed before (this) to our Servants sent (by Us),
তারা অবশ্যি সাহায্যপ্রাপ্ত হবে,
Most surely they shall be the assisted ones
[That] indeed, they would be those given victory
That they would certainly be assisted,
এবং আমাদের বাহিনীই হবে বিজয়ী।
And most surely Our host alone shall be the victorious ones.
And [that] indeed, Our soldiers will be those who overcome.
And that Our forces, - they surely must conquer.
সুতরাং কিছুকালের জন্যে তুমি তাদের উপেক্ষা করে চলো।
Therefore turn away from them till a time,
So, [O Muhammad], leave them for a time.
So turn thou away from them for a little while,
এবং তাদের পর্যবেক্ষণ করতে থাকো, শীঘ্রি তারা দেখতে পাবে।
And (then) see them, so they too shall see.
And see [what will befall] them, for they are going to see.
And watch them (how they fare), and they soon shall see (how thou farest)!
তারা কি আমাদের আযাব দ্রুত করার কামনা করে?
What! would they then hasten on Our chastisement?
Then for Our punishment are they impatient?
Do they wish (indeed) to hurry on our Punishment?
তাদের আঙিনায় যখন আযাব নেমে আসবে, তখন তারা দেখতে পাবে, যাদের সতর্ক করা হয়েছে তাদের সকাল বেলাটা কতো নিকৃষ্ট!
But when it shall descend in their court, evil shall then be the morning of the warned ones.
But when it descends in their territory, then evil is the morning of those who were warned.
But when it descends into the open space before them, evil will be the morning for those who were warned (and heeded not)!
সুতরাং কিছু কালের জন্যে তাদের উপেক্ষা করো।
And turn away from them till a time
And leave them for a time.
So turn thou away from them for a little while,
এবং পর্যবেক্ষণ করো। অচিরেই তারা দেখতে পাবে (তাদের পরিণতি)।
And (then) see, for they too shall see.
And see, for they are going to see.
And watch (how they fare) and they soon shall see (how thou farest)!
তারা তাঁর প্রতি যা আরোপ করে, তা থেকে তোমার প্রভু পবিত্র ও মহান এবং সকল ক্ষমতার অধিকারী।
Glory be to your Lord, the Lord of Honor, above what they describe.
Exalted is your Lord, the Lord of might, above what they describe.
Glory to thy Lord, the Lord of Honour and Power! (He is free) from what they ascribe (to Him)!
এবং সালাম রসূলদের প্রতি।
And peace be on the apostles.
And peace upon the messengers.
And Peace on the messengers!
আর সমস্ত প্রশংসা রাববুল আলামিনের জন্যে।
And all praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
And praise to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
And Praise to Allah, the Lord and Cherisher of the Worlds.
