وَإِذْ
And when
نَتَقْنَا
We raised
ٱلْجَبَلَ
the mountain
فَوْقَهُمْ
above them
كَأَنَّهُۥ
as if it was
ظُلَّةٌ
a canopy
وَظَنُّوٓا۟
and they thought
أَنَّهُۥ
that it
وَاقِعٌۢ
(would) fall
بِهِمْ
upon them,
خُذُوا۟ (We said), "Take مَآ what ءَاتَيْنَٰكُم We have given you بِقُوَّةٍ with strength وَٱذْكُرُوا۟ and remember مَا what فِيهِ (is) in it لَعَلَّكُمْ so that you may تَتَّقُونَ fear Allah."
وَإِذْ And when أَخَذَ (was) taken رَبُّكَ (by) your Lord مِنۢ from بَنِىٓ (the) Children ءَادَمَ (of) Adam - مِن from ظُهُورِهِمْ their loins - ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ their descendants وَأَشْهَدَهُمْ and made them testify
عَلَىٰٓ over أَنفُسِهِمْ themselves, أَلَسْتُ "Am I not بِرَبِّكُمْ your Lord?" قَالُوا۟ They said, بَلَىٰ "Yes شَهِدْنَآ we have testified." أَن Lest تَقُولُوا۟ you say يَوْمَ (on the) Day
ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ (of) the Resurrection, إِنَّا "Indeed, كُنَّا we were عَنْ about هَٰذَا this غَٰفِلِينَ unaware." أَوْ Or تَقُولُوٓا۟ you say, إِنَّمَآ "Only أَشْرَكَ partners (were) associated (with Allah)
ءَابَآؤُنَا (by) our forefathers مِن from قَبْلُ before (us) وَكُنَّا and we are ذُرِّيَّةً descendants مِّنۢ from بَعْدِهِمْ after them. أَفَتُهْلِكُنَا So will You destroy us
بِمَا for what فَعَلَ did ٱلْمُبْطِلُونَ the falsifiers?" وَكَذَٰلِكَ And thus نُفَصِّلُ We explain ٱلْءَايَٰتِ the Verses وَلَعَلَّهُمْ so that they may
يَرْجِعُونَ return. وَٱتْلُ And recite عَلَيْهِمْ to them نَبَأَ (the) story ٱلَّذِىٓ (of the) one whom ءَاتَيْنَٰهُ We gave [him] ءَايَٰتِنَا Our Verses, فَٱنسَلَخَ but he detached
مِنْهَا [from] them, فَأَتْبَعَهُ so followed him ٱلشَّيْطَٰنُ the Shaitaan فَكَانَ and he became مِنَ of ٱلْغَاوِينَ those gone astray. وَلَوْ And if شِئْنَا We willed
لَرَفَعْنَٰهُ surely, We (could) have raised him بِهَا with these وَلَٰكِنَّهُۥٓ [and] but he أَخْلَدَ adhered إِلَى to ٱلْأَرْضِ the earth وَٱتَّبَعَ and followed هَوَىٰهُ his (vain) desires. فَمَثَلُهُۥ So his example
كَمَثَلِ (is) like (the) example ٱلْكَلْبِ (of) the dog, إِن if تَحْمِلْ you attack عَلَيْهِ [on] him, يَلْهَثْ he lolls out his tongue أَوْ or تَتْرُكْهُ if you leave him,
يَلْهَث he lolls out his tongue. ذَّٰلِكَ That مَثَلُ (is the) example ٱلْقَوْمِ (of) the people ٱلَّذِينَ who كَذَّبُوا۟ denied بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا [in] Our Signs. فَٱقْصُصِ So relate
ٱلْقَصَصَ the story لَعَلَّهُمْ so that they may يَتَفَكَّرُونَ reflect. سَآءَ Evil مَثَلًا (as) an example ٱلْقَوْمُ (are) the people ٱلَّذِينَ those who
كَذَّبُوا۟ denied بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا Our Signs وَأَنفُسَهُمْ and themselves كَانُوا۟ they used to يَظْلِمُونَ wrong. مَن Whoever يَهْدِ (is) guided ٱللَّهُ (by) Allah
فَهُوَ then he ٱلْمُهْتَدِى (is) the guided one وَمَن while whoever يُضْلِلْ He lets go astray فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ then those هُمُ [they] ٱلْخَٰسِرُونَ (are) the losers.
