অতঃপর সে যখন তাহার পিতার সঙ্গে কাজ করিবার মত বয়সে উপনীত হইল তখন ইবরাহীম বলিল, ‘বৎস! আমি স্বপ্নের দেখি যে, তোমাকে আমি যবেহ্ করিতেছি, এখন তোমার অভিমত কি বল?’ সে বলিল, ‘হে আমার পিতা! আপনি যাহা আদিষ্ট হইয়াছেন তাহাই করুন। র ইচ্ছায় আপনি আমাকে ধৈর্যশীল পাইবেন।’
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!"
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 they had both submitted and he put him down upon his forehead,
যখন তাহারা উভয়ে আনুগত্য প্রকাশ করিল এবং ইব্রাহীম তাহার পুত্রকে কাত করিয়া শায়িত করিল,
So when they had both submitted their wills (to Allah), and he had laid him prostrate on his forehead (for sacrifice),
So when they both submitted and he threw him down upon his forehead,
We called to him, "O Abraham,
তখন আমি তাহাকে আহ্বান করিয়া বলিলাম, ‘হে ইব্রাহীম!
We called out to him "O Abraham!
And We called out to him saying: O Ibrahim!
You have fulfilled the vision." Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.
‘তুমি তো স্বপ্নাদেশ সত্যই পালন করিলে!’ - এইভাবেই আমি সৎকর্মপরায়ণদেরকে পুরস্কৃত করিয়া থাকি।
"Thou hast already fulfilled the vision!" - thus indeed do We reward those who do right.
You have indeed shown the truth of the vision; surely thus do We reward the doers of good:
Indeed, this was the clear trial.
নিশ্চয়ই ইহা ছিল এক স্পষ্ট পরীক্ষা।
For this was obviously a trial -
Most surely this is a manifest trial.
And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice,
আমি তাহাকে মুক্ত করিলাম এক কুরবানীর বিনিময়ে।
And We ransomed him with a momentous sacrifice:
And We ransomed him with a Feat sacrifice.
And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations:
আমি ইহা পরবর্তীদের স্মরণে রাখিয়াছি।
And We left (this blessing) for him among generations (to come) in later times:
And We perpetuated (praise) to him among the later generations.
"Peace upon Abraham."
ইব্রাহীমের উপর শান্তি বর্ষিত হউক!
"Peace and salutation to Abraham!"
Peace be on Ibrahim.
Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.
এইভাবে আমি সৎকর্মপরায়ণদেরকে পুরস্কৃত করিয়া থাকি।
Thus indeed do We reward those who do right.
Thus do We reward the doers of good.
Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.
নিশ্চয়ই সে ছিল আমার বান্দাদের অন্যতম;
For he was one of our believing Servants.
Surely he was one of Our believing servants.
And We gave him good tidings of Isaac, a prophet from among the righteous.
আমি তাহাকে সুসংবাদ দিয়াছিলাম ইস্হাকের, সে ছিল এক নবী, সৎকর্মপরায়ণদের অন্যতম,
And We gave him the good news of Isaac - a prophet, - one of the Righteous.
And We gave him the good news of Ishaq, a prophet among the good ones.
And We blessed him and Isaac. But among their descendants is the doer of good and the clearly unjust to himself.
আমি তাহাকে বরকত দান করিয়াছিলাম এবং ইস্হাককেও; তাহাদের বংশধরদের মধ্যে কতক সৎকর্মপরায়ণ এবং কতক নিজেদের প্রতি স্পষ্ট অত্যাচারী।
We blessed him and Isaac: but of their progeny are (some) that do right, and (some) that obviously do wrong, to their own souls.
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 did certainly confer favor upon Moses and Aaron.
আমি অনুগ্রহ করিয়াছিলাম মূসা ও হারূনের প্রতি,
Again (of old) We bestowed Our favour on Moses and Aaron,
And certainly We conferred a favor on Musa and Haroun.
And We saved them and their people from the great affliction,
এবং তাহাদেরকে এবং তাহাদের সম্প্রদায়কে আমি উদ্ধার করিয়াছিলাম মহাসংকট হইতে।
And We delivered them and their people from (their) Great Calamity;
And We delivered them both and their people from the mighty distress.
And We supported them so it was they who overcame.
আমি সাহায্য করিয়াছিলাম তাহাদেরকে ফলে তাহারাই হইয়াছিল বিজয়ী।
And We helped them, so they overcame (their troubles);
And We helped them, so they were the vanquishers.
And We gave them the explicit Scripture,
আমি উভয়কে দিয়াছিলাম বিশদ কিতাব।
And We gave them the Book which helps to make things clear;
And We gave them both the Book that made (things) clear.
And We guided them on the straight path.
এবং তাহাদেরকে আমি পরিচালিত করিয়াছিলাম সরল পথে।
And We guided them to the Straight Way.
And We guided them both on the right way.
And We left for them [favorable mention] among later generations:

And We left (this blessing) for them among generations (to come) in later times:
And We perpetuated (praise) to them among the later generations.
"Peace upon Moses and Aaron."

Even thus do We reward the doers of good.

তাহারা উভয়েই ছিল আমার বান্দাদের অন্তর্ভুক্ত।
For they were two of our believing Servants.
Surely they were both of Our believing servants.
And indeed, Elias was from among the messengers,
ইল্ইয়াসও ছিল রাসূলদের একজন।
So also was Elias among those sent (by Us).
And Ilyas was most surely of the apostles.
When he said to his people, "Will you not fear Allah?
স্মরণ কর, সে তাহার সম্প্রদায়কে বলিয়াছিল, ‘তোমরা কি সাবধান হইবে না?
Behold, he said to his people, "Will ye not fear (Allah)?
When he said to his people: Do you not guard (against evil)?
Do you call upon Ba'l and leave the best of creators -
‘তোমরা কি বা‘আলকে ডাকিবে এবং পরিত্যাগ করিবে শ্রেষ্ঠ স্রষ্টা -
"Will ye call upon Baal and forsake the Best of Creators, -
What! do you call upon Ba'l and forsake the best of the creators,
Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers?"
কে, যিনি প্রতিপালক তোমাদের - প্রতিপালক তোমাদের প্রাক্তন পূর্বপুরুষদের ?’
"Allah, your Lord and Cherisher and the Lord and Cherisher of your fathers of old?"
Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your fathers of yore?
And they denied him, so indeed, they will be brought [for punishment],
কিন্তু উহারা তাহাকে মিথ্যাবাদী বলিয়াছিল, কাজেই উহাদেরকে অবশ্যই শাস্তির জন্য উপস্থিত করা হইবে।
But they rejected him, and they will certainly be called up (for punishment), -
But they called him a liar, therefore they shall most surely be brought up.
Except the chosen servants of Allah.
তবে র একনিষ্ঠ বান্দাদের কথা স্বতন্ত্র।
Except the sincere and devoted Servants of Allah (among them).
But not the servants of Allah, the purified ones.

And We left (this blessing) for him among generations (to come) in later times:

Surely he was one of Our believing servants.
And indeed, Lot was among the messengers.
লূতও ছিল রাসূলদের একজন।
So also was Lut among those sent (by Us).

[So mention] when We saved him and his family, all,
আমি তাহাকে ও তাহার পরিবারের সকলকে উদ্ধার করিয়াছিলাম -
Behold, We delivered him and his adherents, all
When We delivered him and his followers, all - -
Except his wife among those who remained [with the evildoers].
এক বৃদ্ধা ব্যতীত, যে ছিল পশ্চাতে অবস্থানকারীদের অন্তর্ভুক্ত।
Except an old woman who was among those who lagged behind:
Except an old woman (who was) amongst those who tarried.
Then We destroyed the others.
অতঃপর অবশিষ্টদেরকে আমি সম্পূর্ণভাবে ধ্বংস করিয়াছিলাম।
Then We destroyed the rest.
Then We destroyed the others.
And indeed, you pass by them in the morning
তোমরা তো উহাদের ধ্বংসাবশেষগুলি অতিক্রম করিয়া থাক সকালে ও
Verily, ye pass by their (sites), by day -
And most surely you pass by them in the morning,
And at night. Then will you not use reason?
সন্ধ্যায়। তবুও কি তোমরা অনুধাবন করিবে না?
And by night: will ye not understand?
And at night; do you not then understand?

[Mention] when he ran away to the laden ship.
স্মরণ কর, যখন সে পলায়ন করিয়া বোঝাই নৌযানে পৌঁছিল,
When he ran away (like a slave from captivity) to the ship (fully) laden,
When he ran away to a ship completely laden,
And he drew lots and was among the losers.
অতঃপর সে লটারীতে যোগদান করিল এবং পরাভূত হইল।
He (agreed to) cast lots, and he was condemned:
So he shared (with them), but was of those who are cast off.
Then the fish swallowed him, while he was blameworthy.
পরে এক বৃহদাকার মৎস্য তাহাকে গিলিয়া ফেলিল, তখন সে নিজেকে ধিক্কার দিতে লাগিল।
Then the big Fish did swallow him, and he had done acts worthy of blame.
So the fish swallowed him while he did that for which he blamed himself
And had he not been of those who exalt Allah,
সে যদি র পবিত্রতা ও মহিমা ঘোষণা না করিত,
Had it not been that he (repented and) glorified Allah,
But had it not been that he was of those who glorify (Us),
He would have remained inside its belly until the Day they are resurrected.
তাহা হইলে তাহাকে উত্থান দিবস পর্যন্ত থাকিতে হইত উহার উদরে।
He would certainly have remained inside the Fish till the Day of Resurrection.
He would certainly have tarried in its belly to the day when they are raised.
But We threw him onto the open shore while he was ill.
অতঃপর ইউনুসকে আমি নিক্ষেপ করিলাম এক তৃণহীন প্রান্তরে এবং সে ছিল রুগ্ন।
But We cast him forth on the naked shore in a state of sickness,
Then We cast him on to the vacant surface of the earth while he was sick.

And We sent him (on a mission) to a hundred thousand (men) or more.
And We sent him to a hundred thousand, rather they exceeded.

And they believed; so We permitted them to enjoy (their life) for a while.
And they believed, so We gave them provision till a time.
So inquire of them, [O Muhammad], "Does your Lord have daughters while they have sons?
এখন উহাদেরকে জিজ্ঞাসা কর, ‘তোমার প্রতিপালকের জন্যই কি রহিয়াছে কন্যা সন্তান এবং উহাদের জন্য পুত্র সন্তান?’
Now ask them their opinion: Is it that thy Lord has (only) daughters, and they have sons? -
Then ask them whether your Lord has daughters and they have sons.
Or did We create the angels as females while they were witnesses?"
অথবা আমি কি ফিরিশ্তাদেরকে নারীরূপে সৃষ্টি করিয়াছিলাম, আর উহারা প্রত্যক্ষ করিতেছিল?
Or that We created the angels female, and they are witnesses (thereto)?
Or did We create the angels females while they were witnesses?
Unquestionably, it is out of their [invented] falsehood that they say,
দেখ উহারা তো মনগড়া কথা বলে যে,
Is it not that they say, from their own invention,
Now surely it is of their own lie that they say:
" Allah has begotten," and indeed, they are liars.
‘ সন্তান জন্ম দিয়াছেন!’ উহারা নিশ্চয়ই মিথ্যাবাদী।
"Allah has begotten children"? but they are liars!
Allah has begotten; and most surely they are liars.
Has He chosen daughters over sons?
তিনি কি পুত্র সন্তানের পরিবর্তে কন্যা সন্তান পসন্দ করিতেন?
Did He (then) choose daughters rather than sons?
Has He chosen daughters in preference to sons?
What is [wrong] with you? How do you make judgement?
তোমাদের কী হইয়াছে, তোমরা কিরূপ বিচার কর?
What is the matter with you? How judge ye?
What is the matter with you, how is it that you judge?
Then will you not be reminded?
তবে কি তোমরা উপদেশ গ্রহণ করিবে না?
Will ye not then receive admonition?
Will you not then mind?
Or do you have a clear authority?
তোমাদের কী সুস্পষ্ট দলীল - প্রমাণ আছে?
Or have ye an authority manifest?
Or have you a clear authority?
Then produce your scripture, if you should be truthful.
তোমরা সত্যবাদী হইলে তোমাদের কিতাব উপস্থিত কর।
Then bring ye your Book (of authority) if ye be truthful!
Then bring your book, if you are truthful.
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].
উহারা ও জিন জাতির মধ্যে আত্মীয়তার সম্পর্ক স্থির করিয়াছে, অথচ জিনেরা জানে তাহাদেরকেও নিশ্চয়ই উপস্থিত করা হইবে শাস্তির জন্য।
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)!
And they assert a relationship between Him and the jinn; and certainly the jinn do know that they shall surely be brought up;
Exalted is Allah above what they describe,
উহারা যাহা বলে তাহা হইতে পবিত্র, মহান -
Glory to Allah! (He is free) from the things they ascribe (to Him)!
Glory be to Allah (for freedom) from what they describe;
Except the chosen servants of Allah [who do not share in that sin].
র একনিষ্ঠ বান্দাগণ ব্যতিত,
Not (so do) the Servants of Allah, sincere and devoted.
But not so the servants of Allah, the purified ones.
So indeed, you [disbelievers] and whatever you worship,
তোমরা এবং তোমরা যাহাদের ‘ইবাদত কর উহারা -
For, verily, neither ye nor those ye worship -
So surely you and what you worship,
You cannot tempt [anyone] away from Him
তোমরা কাহাকেও সম্বন্ধে বিভ্রান্ত করিতে পারিবে না -
Can lead (any) into temptation concerning Allah,
Not against Him can you cause (any) to fall into trial,
Except he who is to [enter and] burn in the Hellfire.
কেবল অগ্নিতে প্রবেশকারীকে ব্যতীত।
Except such as are (themselves) going to the blazing Fire!
Save him who will go to hell.
[The angels say], "There is not among us any except that he has a known position.
আমাদের প্রত্যেকের জন্যই নির্ধারিত স্থান রহিয়াছে,
(Those ranged in ranks say): "Not one of us but has a place appointed;
And there is none of us but has an assigned place,
And indeed, we are those who line up [for prayer].
আমরা তো সারিবদ্ধভাবে দণ্ডায়মান
"And we are verily ranged in ranks (for service);
And most surely we are they who draw themselves out in ranks,
And indeed, we are those who exalt Allah."
‘এবং আমরা অবশ্যই তাঁহার পবিত্রতা ও মহিমা ঘোষণাকারী।’
"And we are verily those who declare (Allah's) glory!"
And we are most surely they who declare the glory (of Allah).
And indeed, the disbelievers used to say,
উহারাই তো বলিয়া আসিয়াছে,
And there were those who said,
And surely they used to say:
"If we had a message from [those of] the former peoples,
‘পূর্ববর্তীদের কিতাবের মত যদি আমাদের কোন কিতাব থাকিত,
"If only we had had before us a Message from those of old,
Had we a reminder from those of yore,
We would have been the chosen servants of Allah."
‘আমরা অবশ্যই র একনিষ্ঠ বান্দা হইতাম।’
"We should certainly have been Servants of Allah, sincere (and devoted)!"
We would certainly have been the servants of Allah - - the purified ones.
But they disbelieved in it, so they are going to know.
কিন্তু উহারা কুরআন প্রত্যাখ্যান করিল এবং শীঘ্রই উহারা জানিতে পারিবে;
But (now that the Qur'an has come), they reject it: But soon will they know!
But (now) they disbelieve in it, so they will come to know.
And Our word has already preceded for Our servants, the messengers,
আমার প্রেরিত বান্দাদের সম্পর্কে আমার এই বাক্য পূর্বেই স্থির হইয়াছে যে,
Already has Our Word been passed before (this) to our Servants sent (by Us),
And certainly Our word has already gone forth in respect of Our servants, the apostles:
[That] indeed, they would be those given victory
অবশ্যই তাহারা সাহায্যপ্রাপ্ত হইবে,
That they would certainly be assisted,
Most surely they shall be the assisted ones
And [that] indeed, Our soldiers will be those who overcome.
এবং আমার বাহিনীই হইবে বিজয়ী।
And that Our forces, - they surely must conquer.
And most surely Our host alone shall be the victorious ones.
So, [O Muhammad], leave them for a time.
অতএব কিছু কালের জন্য তুমি উহাদেরকে উপেক্ষা কর।
So turn thou away from them for a little while,
Therefore turn away from them till a time,
And see [what will befall] them, for they are going to see.
তুমি উহাদেরকে পর্যবেক্ষণ কর, শীঘ্রই উহারা প্রত্যক্ষ করিবে।
And watch them (how they fare), and they soon shall see (how thou farest)!
And (then) see them, so they too shall see.
Then for Our punishment are they impatient?
উহারা কি তবে আমার শাস্তি ত্বরান্বিত করিতে চায়?
Do they wish (indeed) to hurry on our Punishment?
What! would they then hasten on Our chastisement?
But when it descends in their territory, then evil is the morning of those who were warned.
তাহাদের আঙিনায় যখন শাস্তি নামিয়া আসিবে তখন সতর্কীকৃতদের প্রভাত হইবে কত মন্দ!
But when it descends into the open space before them, evil will be the morning for those who were warned (and heeded not)!
But when it shall descend in their court, evil shall then be the morning of the warned ones.
And leave them for a time.
অতএব কিছু কালের জন্য তুমি উহাদেরকে উপেক্ষা কর।
So turn thou away from them for a little while,
And turn away from them till a time
And see, for they are going to see.
তুমি উহাদেরকে পর্যবেক্ষণ কর, শীঘ্রই উহারা প্রত্যক্ষ করিবে।
And watch (how they fare) and they soon shall see (how thou farest)!
And (then) see, for they too shall see.
Exalted is your Lord, the Lord of might, above what they describe.
উহারা যাহা আরোপ করে তাহা হইতে পবিত্র ও মহান তোমার প্রতিপালক, যিনি সকল ক্ষমতার অধিকারী।
Glory to thy Lord, the Lord of Honour and Power! (He is free) from what they ascribe (to Him)!
Glory be to your Lord, the Lord of Honor, above what they describe.
And peace upon the messengers.
শান্তি বর্ষিত হউক রাসূলদের প্রতি!
And Peace on the messengers!
And peace be on the apostles.
And praise to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
আর সকল প্রশংসা জগতসমূহের প্রতিপালক রই প্রাপ্য।
And Praise to Allah, the Lord and Cherisher of the Worlds.
And all praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
