إِنِّى
Indeed, I
وَجَدتُّ
found
ٱمْرَأَةً
a woman
تَمْلِكُهُمْ
ruling them
وَأُوتِيَتْ
and she has been given
مِن
of
كُلِّ
every
شَىْءٍ
thing
وَلَهَا
and for her
عَرْشٌ (is) a throne عَظِيمٌ great. وَجَدتُّهَا And I found her وَقَوْمَهَا and her people يَسْجُدُونَ prostrating لِلشَّمْسِ to the sun
مِن instead of Allah, *[meaning includes next or prev. word] دُونِ instead of Allah, *[meaning includes next or prev. word] ٱللَّهِ instead of Allah, *[meaning includes next or prev. word] وَزَيَّنَ and has made fair-seeming لَهُمُ to them ٱلشَّيْطَٰنُ the Shaitaan أَعْمَٰلَهُمْ their deeds, فَصَدَّهُمْ and averted them عَنِ from ٱلسَّبِيلِ the Way,
فَهُمْ so they لَا (are) not يَهْتَدُونَ guided, أَلَّا That not يَسْجُدُوا۟ they prostrate لِلَّهِ to Allah, ٱلَّذِى the One Who يُخْرِجُ brings forth ٱلْخَبْءَ the hidden فِى in
ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ the heavens وَٱلْأَرْضِ and the earth وَيَعْلَمُ and knows مَا what تُخْفُونَ you conceal وَمَا and what تُعْلِنُونَ you declare, ٱللَّهُ Allah
لَآ (there is) no إِلَٰهَ god إِلَّا but هُوَ He, رَبُّ (the) Lord ٱلْعَرْشِ (of) the Throne ٱلْعَظِيمِ the Great." قَالَ He said, سَنَنظُرُ "We will see
أَصَدَقْتَ whether you speak (the) truth أَمْ or كُنتَ you are مِنَ of ٱلْكَٰذِبِينَ the liars. ٱذْهَب Go بِّكِتَٰبِى with my letter, هَٰذَا this,
فَأَلْقِهْ and deliver it إِلَيْهِمْ to them. ثُمَّ Then تَوَلَّ turn away عَنْهُمْ from them فَٱنظُرْ and see مَاذَا what يَرْجِعُونَ they return." قَالَتْ She said, يَٰٓأَيُّهَا "O
ٱلْمَلَؤُا۟ chiefs! إِنِّىٓ Indeed [I], أُلْقِىَ is delivered إِلَىَّ to me كِتَٰبٌ a letter كَرِيمٌ noble. إِنَّهُۥ Indeed, it مِن (is) from سُلَيْمَٰنَ Sulaiman وَإِنَّهُۥ and indeed it (is),
بِسْمِ "In the name ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah, ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ the Most Gracious, ٱلرَّحِيمِ the Most Merciful, أَلَّا That not تَعْلُوا۟ exalt yourselves عَلَىَّ against me, وَأْتُونِى but come to me مُسْلِمِينَ (in) submission."
قَالَتْ She said, يَٰٓأَيُّهَا "O ٱلْمَلَؤُا۟ chiefs! أَفْتُونِى Advise me فِىٓ in أَمْرِى my affair. مَا Not كُنتُ I would be قَاطِعَةً the one to decide أَمْرًا any matter حَتَّىٰ until
تَشْهَدُونِ you are present with me." قَالُوا۟ They said, نَحْنُ "We أُو۟لُوا۟ (are) possessors قُوَّةٍ (of) strength وَأُو۟لُوا۟ and possessors بَأْسٍ (of) might شَدِيدٍ great, وَٱلْأَمْرُ and the command
إِلَيْكِ (is) up to you, فَٱنظُرِى so look مَاذَا what تَأْمُرِينَ you will command." قَالَتْ She said, إِنَّ "Indeed, ٱلْمُلُوكَ the kings, إِذَا when دَخَلُوا۟ they enter قَرْيَةً a town
أَفْسَدُوهَا they ruin it وَجَعَلُوٓا۟ and make أَعِزَّةَ (the) most honorable أَهْلِهَآ (of) its people أَذِلَّةً (the) lowest. وَكَذَٰلِكَ And thus يَفْعَلُونَ they do.
وَإِنِّى But indeed, I am مُرْسِلَةٌ going to send إِلَيْهِم to them بِهَدِيَّةٍ a gift فَنَاظِرَةٌۢ and see بِمَ with what يَرْجِعُ return ٱلْمُرْسَلُونَ the messengers."
