Chapter 74, 56 verses
O you who covers himself [with a garment],
O thou wrapped up (in the mantle)!
আল্লাহর নামে শুরু করছি, পরম করুণাময় পরম দয়ালু; হে বস্ত্রাবৃত,
O you who are clothed!
Arise and warn
Arise and deliver thy warning!
উঠো, অতঃপর সতর্ক কর,
Arise and warn,
And your Lord glorify
And thy Lord do thou magnify!
এবং তোমার প্রতিপালকের শ্রেষ্ঠত্ব ঘোষণা কর।
And your Lord do magnify,
And your clothing purify
And thy garments keep free from stain!
এবং তোমার পোশাক পরিচ্ছন্ন রাখ,
And your garments do purify,
And uncleanliness avoid
And all abomination shun!
এবং অপবিত্রতা থেকে দূরে থাকো,
And uncleanness do shun,
And do not confer favor to acquire more
Nor expect, in giving, any increase (for thyself)!
এবং অধিক পাওয়ার আশায় দান করো না,
And bestow not favors that you may receive again with increase,
But for your Lord be patient.
But, for thy Lord's (Cause), be patient and constant!
এবং তোমার প্রতিপালকের জন্য ধৈর্য ধারণ করো।
And for the sake of your Lord, be patient.
And when the trumpet is blown,
Finally, when the Trumpet is sounded,
অতঃপর যখন শিঙ্গায় ফুঁক দেওয়া হবে,
For when the trumpet is sounded,
That Day will be a difficult day
That will be - that Day - a Day of Distress, -
তখন সে দিন হবে এক কঠিন দিন,
That, at that time, shall be a difficult day,
For the disbelievers - not easy.
Far from easy for those without Faith.
অস্বীকারকারীদের উপর সহজ হবে না।
For the unbelievers, anything but easy.
Leave Me with the one I created alone
Leave Me alone, (to deal) with the (creature) whom I created (bare and) alone! -
ছেড়ে দাও আমাকে এবং যাকে আমি একা সৃষ্টি করেছি,
Leave Me and him whom I created alone,
And to whom I granted extensive wealth
To whom I granted resources in abundance,
এবং তাকে দিয়েছি বিপুল সম্পদ,
And give him vast riches,
And children present [with him]
And sons to be by his side! -
এবং উপস্থিত সন্তানদের,
And sons dwelling in his presence,
And spread [everything] before him, easing [his life].
To whom I made (life) smooth and comfortable!
এবং তার জন্য ব্যাপক সুব্যবস্থা,
And I adjusted affairs for him adjustably;
Then he desires that I should add more.
Yet is he greedy - that I should add (yet more); -
এরপরেও সে আশা করে যে আমি আরও দেই,
And yet he desires that I should add more!
No! Indeed, he has been toward Our verses obstinate.
By no means! For to Our Signs he has been refractory!
কখনোই নয়! নিশ্চয়ই সে আমার নিদর্শনসমূহের প্রতি ছিলো উদ্ধত,
By no means! surely he offers opposition to Our communications.
I will cover him with arduous torment.
Soon will I visit him with a mount of calamities!
শীঘ্রই আমি তাকে দুর্গম আরোহনে বাধ্য করবো।
I will make a distressing punishment overtake him.
Indeed, he thought and deliberated.
For he thought and he plotted; -
নিশ্চয়ই সে চিন্তা করেছে এবং পরিকল্পনা করেছে,
Surely he reflected and guessed,
So may he be destroyed [for] how he deliberated.
And woe to him! How he plotted! -
অতঃপর ধ্বংস হোক সে! কীভাবে সে পরিকল্পনা করলো!
But may he be cursed how he plotted;
Then may he be destroyed [for] how he deliberated.
Yea, Woe to him; How he plotted! -
আবার ধ্বংস হোক সে! কীভাবে সে পরিকল্পনা করলো!
Again, may he be cursed how he plotted;
Then he considered [again];
Then he looked round;
অতঃপর সে লক্ষ্য করলো,
Then he looked,
Then he frowned and scowled;
Then he frowned and he scowled;
অতঃপর সে ভ্রূকুটি করল ও মুখ বিকৃত করলো,
Then he frowned and scowled,
Then he turned back and was arrogant
Then he turned back and was haughty;
অতঃপর সে পৃষ্ঠ প্রদর্শন করল ও অহংকার করল,
Then he turned back and was big with pride,
And said, "This is not but magic imitated [from others].
Then said he: "This is nothing but magic, derived from of old;
এবং বলল, “এ তো কেবল প্রচলিত জাদু,”
~Then he said: This is naught but enchantment, narrated (from others);
This is not but the word of a human being."
"This is nothing but the word of a mortal!"
“এ তো মানুষেরই কথা ছাড়া কিছু নয়।”
This is naught but the word of a mortal.
I will drive him into Saqar.
Soon will I cast him into Hell - Fire!
আমি তাকে সাকারে নিক্ষেপ করবো।
I will cast him into hell.
And what can make you know what is Saqar?
And what will explain to thee what Hell - Fire is?
আর তুমি কীভাবে জানবে সাকার কী?
And what will make you realize what hell is?
It lets nothing remain and leaves nothing [unburned],
Naught doth it permit to endure, and naught doth it leave alone! -
তা কিছু অবশিষ্ট রাখে না এবং কিছু ছাড়েও না,
It leaves naught nor does it spare aught.
Blackening the skins.
Darkening and changing the colour of man!
তা চামড়া দগ্ধকারী,
It scorches the mortal.
Over it are nineteen [angels].
Over it are Nineteen.
তার উপর রয়েছে উনিশ।
Over it are nineteen.
And We have not made the keepers of the Fire except angels. And We have not made their number except as a trial for those who disbelieve - that those who were given the Scripture will be convinced and those who have believed will increase in faith and those who were given the Scripture and the believers will not doubt and that those in whose hearts is hypocrisy and the disbelievers will say, "What does Allah intend by this as an example?" Thus does Allah leave astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And none knows the soldiers of your Lord except Him. And mention of the Fire is not but a reminder to humanity.
And We have set none but angels as Guardians of the Fire; and We have fixed their number only as a trial for Unbelievers, - in order that the People of the Book may arrive at certainty, and the Believers may increase in Faith, - and that no doubts may be left for the People of the Book and the Believers, and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the Unbelievers may say, "What symbol doth Allah intend by this?" Thus doth Allah leave to stray whom He pleaseth, and guide whom He pleaseth: and none can know the forces of thy Lord, except He and this is no other than a warning to mankind.
এবং আমরা ফেরেশতাদের ছাড়া আগুনের তত্ত্বাবধায়ক বানাইনি, এবং এদের সংখ্যা নির্ধারণ করিনি অবিশ্বাসীদের জন্য এক পরীক্ষা ছাড়া, যেনো কিতাবপ্রাপ্তরা নিশ্চিত হতে পারে, এবং মুমিনদের বিশ্বাস বৃদ্ধি পায়, এবং কিতাবপ্রাপ্তরা ও মুমিনরা সন্দেহ না করে; আর যাদের অন্তরে রোগ আছে এবং অস্বীকারকারীরা বলে, “ এ উদাহরণ দ্বারা কী উদ্দেশ্য করেছেন?” এভাবেই যাকে ইচ্ছা পথভ্রষ্ট করেন এবং যাকে ইচ্ছা পথনির্দেশ দেন। আর তোমার প্রতিপালকের বাহিনীসমূহ সম্পর্কে তিনি ছাড়া কেউ জানে না। এবং এটি মানুষের জন্য এক উপদেশ ছাড়া কিছু নয়।
And We have not made the wardens of the fire others than angels, and We have not made their number but as a trial for those who disbelieve, that those who have been given the book may be certain and those who believe may increase in faith, and those who have been given the book and the believers may not doubt, and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the unbelievers may say: What does Allah mean by this parable? Thus does Allah make err whom He pleases, and He guides whom He pleases, and none knows the hosts of your Lord but He Himself; and this is naught but a reminder to the mortals.
No! By the moon
Nay, verily: By the Moon,
কখনোই নয়! শপথ চাঁদের,
Nay; I swear by the moon,
And [by] the night when it departs
And by the Night as it retreateth,
এবং রাতের, যখন তা অপসারিত হয়,
And the night when it departs,
And [by] the morning when it brightens,
And by the Dawn as it shineth forth, -
এবং সকালের, যখন তা আলোকিত হয়,
And the daybreak when it shines;
Indeed, the Fire is of the greatest [afflictions]
This is but one of the mighty (portents),
নিশ্চয়ই তা এক মহাবিষয়ের অন্যতম।
Surely it (hell) is one of the gravest (misfortunes),
As a warning to humanity -
A warning to mankind, -
মানুষের জন্য সতর্কবার্তা,
A warning to mortals,
To whoever wills among you to proceed or stay behind.
To any of you that chooses to press forward, or to follow behind; -
তোমাদের মধ্যে যে অগ্রসর হতে বা পিছিয়ে থাকতে চায় তার জন্য।
To him among you who wishes to go forward or remain behind.
Every soul, for what it has earned, will be retained
Every soul will be (held) in pledge for its deeds.
প্রত্যেক ব্যক্তি তার অর্জনের জন্য দায়বদ্ধ;
Every soul is held in pledge for what it earns,
Except the companions of the right,
Except the Companions of the Right Hand.
তবে ডানদিকের সঙ্গীরা ব্যতীত।
Except the people of the right hand,
[Who will be] in gardens, questioning each other
(They will be) in Gardens (of Delight): they will question each other,
তারা থাকবে উদ্যানসমূহে; পরস্পরকে প্রশ্ন করবে,
In gardens, they shall ask each other
About the criminals,
And (ask) of the Sinners:
অপরাধীদের সম্পর্কে,
About the guilty:
[And asking them], "What put you into Saqar?"
"What led you into Hell Fire?"
“কী তোমাদের সাকারে প্রবেশ করিয়েছে?”
What has brought you into hell?
They will say, "We were not of those who prayed,
They will say: "We were not of those who prayed;
তারা বলবে, “আমরা আদায়কারীদের মধ্যে ছিলাম না,
They shall say: We were not of those who prayed;
Nor did we used to feed the poor.
"Nor were we of those who fed the indigent;
এবং অভাবগ্রস্তকে আহার করাতাম না,
And we used not to feed the poor;
And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who engaged [in it],
"But we used to talk vanities with vain talkers;
এবং আমরা অর্থহীন আলোচনায় লিপ্তদের সঙ্গে যোগ দিতাম,
And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who entered into vain discourses.
And we used to deny the Day of Recompense
"And we used to deny the Day of Judgment,
এবং প্রতিদান দিবসকে অস্বীকার করতাম,
And we used to call the day of judgment a lie;
Until there came to us the certainty."
"Until there came to us (the Hour) that is certain."
অবশেষে নিশ্চিত বিষয়টি আমাদের কাছে আসলো।”
Till death overtook us.
So there will not benefit them the intercession of [any] intercessors.
Then will no intercession of (any) intercessors profit them.
অতঃপর কাজে আসবে না সুপারিশকারীদের সুপারিশ।
So the intercession of intercessors shall not avail them.
Then what is [the matter] with them that they are, from the reminder, turning away
Then what is the matter with them that they turn away from admonition? -
তাহলে তাদের কী হয়েছে যে তারা উপদেশ থেকে মুখ ফিরিয়ে নিচ্ছে?
What is then the matter with them, that they turn away from the admonition
As if they were alarmed donkeys
As if they were affrighted asses,
তারা যেন ভীতসন্ত্রস্ত গাধা
As if they were asses taking fright
Fleeing from a lion?
Fleeing from a lion!
যারা সিংহ থেকে পালিয়েছে।
That had fled from a lion?
Rather, every person among them desires that he would be given scriptures spread about.
Forsooth, each one of them wants to be given scrolls (of revelation) spread out!
বরং তাদের প্রত্যেকে চায় যে তাকে খোলা পাতা সমূহ দেওয়া হোক।
Nay; every one of them desires that he may be given pages spread out;
No! But they do not fear the Hereafter.
By no means! But they fear not the Hereafter,
কখনোই নয়! বরং তারা পরকালকে ভয় করে না।
Nay! but they do not fear the hereafter.
No! Indeed, the Qur'an is a reminder
Nay, this surely is an admonition:
কখনোই নয়! নিশ্চয়ই এটি এক উপদেশ,
Nay! it is surely an admonition.
Then whoever wills will remember it.
Let any who will, keep it in remembrance!
অতএব যার ইচ্ছা, সে তা স্মরণ করুক।
So whoever pleases may mind it.
And they will not remember except that Allah wills. He is worthy of fear and adequate for [granting] forgiveness.
But none will keep it in remembrance except as Allah wills: He is the Lord of Righteousness, and the Lord of Forgiveness.
আর তারা স্মরণ করবে না, যদি না ইচ্ছা করেন। তিনিই ভয়ের অধিক যোগ্য এবং ক্ষমা করার অধিক যোগ্য।
And they will not mind unless Allah please. He is worthy to be feared and worthy to forgive.
