| 1. * | By the heaven adorned with signs; |
| 2. * | by the promised day of judgement; |
| 3. * | by the witness, and the witnessed; |
| 4. * | cursed were the contrivers of the pit, |
| 5. * | of fire supplied with fuel; |
| 6. * | when they sat round the same, |
| 7. * | and were witnesses of what they did against the true believers: |
| 8. * | And they afflicted them for no other reason, but because they believed in the mighty, the glorious God, |
| 9. * | unto whom belongeth the kingdom of heaven and earth: And God is witness of all things. |
| 10. * | Verily for those who persecute the true believers of either sex, and afterwards repent not, is prepared the torment of hell; and they shall suffer the pain of burning. |
| 11. * | But for those who believe, and do that which is right, are destined gardens beneath which rivers flow: This shall be great felicity. |
| 12. * | Verily the vengeance of thy Lord is severe. |
| 13. * | He createth, and He restoreth to life: |
| 14. * | He is inclined to forgive, and gracious: |
| 15. * | The possessor of the glorious throne; |
| 16. * | who effecteth that which He pleaseth. |
| 17. * | Hath not the story of the hosts, |
| 18. * | of Pharaoh, and of Thamud, reached thee? |
| 19. * | Yet the unbelievers cease not to accuse the divine revelations of falsehood: |
| 20. * | But God encompasseth them behind, that they cannot escape. |
| 21. * | Verily that which they reject is a glorious Koran; |
| 22. * | the original whereof is written in a table kept in heaven. |
