بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
бисмиль-лəhир-рōhмəəнир-рōhиим
In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful. -
18:1
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَنزَلَ عَلَىٰ عَبْدِهِ الْكِتَابَ وَلَمْ يَجْعَل لَّهُ عِوَجًا ۜəльhəмду лильлəhиль-лəз̃ии əŋŋзəлə 'əлəə 'əбдиhиль-китəəбə вəлəм йəдж'əль-лəhу 'ивəджə
All praise belongs to Allah, who has sent down the Book to His servant and did not let any crookedness be in it, -
18:2
قَيِّمًا لِّيُنذِرَ بَأْسًا شَدِيدًا مِّن لَّدُنْهُ وَيُبَشِّرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ الَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ الصَّالِحَاتِ أَنَّ لَهُمْ أَجْرًا حَسَنًاќōййимəл-лийуŋŋз̃ирō бə`сəн шəдиидəмм-миль-лəдунhу вəйубəшширōль-му`миниинəль-лəз̃иинə йə'мəлююнəс-сōōлиhəəти əннə лəhум əджрōн həсəнə
[a Book] upright, to warn of a severe punishment from Him, and to give good news to the faithful who do righteous deeds, that there shall be for them a good reward, -
18:5
مَّا لَهُم بِهِ مِنْ عِلْمٍ وَلَا لِآبَائِهِمْ ۚ كَبُرَتْ كَلِمَةً تَخْرُجُ مِنْ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ ۚ إِن يَقُولُونَ إِلَّا كَذِبًاмəə лəhумм-биhи мин 'ильмиу-вəлəə ли`əəбəə`иhим, кəбурōт кəлимəтəн тəхруджу мин əфвəəhиhим, ий-йəќуулююнə ильлəə кəз̃ибə
They do not have any knowledge of that, nor did their fathers. Monstrous is the utterance that comes out of their mouths, and they say nothing but a lie. -
18:6
فَلَعَلَّكَ بَاخِعٌ نَّفْسَكَ عَلَىٰ آثَارِهِمْ إِن لَّمْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِهَـٰذَا الْحَدِيثِ أَسَفًاфəлə'əльлəкə бəəхы'ун-ннəфсəкə 'əлəə əəc̃əəриhим иль-лəм йу`минуу биhəəз̃əəль-həдииc̃и əсəфə
You are liable to imperil your life out of grief for their sake, if they should not believe this discourse. -
18:7
إِنَّا جَعَلْنَا مَا عَلَى الْأَرْضِ زِينَةً لَّهَا لِنَبْلُوَهُمْ أَيُّهُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلًاиннəə джə'əльнəə мəə 'əлəəль-əрды зиинəтəль-лəhəə линəблювəhум əййуhум əhсəну 'əмəлə
Indeed We have made whatever is on the earth an adornment for it that We may test them [to see] which of them is best in conduct. -
18:10
إِذْ أَوَى الْفِتْيَةُ إِلَى الْكَهْفِ فَقَالُوا رَبَّنَا آتِنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ رَحْمَةً وَهَيِّئْ لَنَا مِنْ أَمْرِنَا رَشَدًاиз̃ əвəəль-фитйəту илəəль-кəhфи фəќōōлюю рōббəнəə əəтинəə миль-лəдуŋŋкə рōhмəтəу-вəhəййи лəнəə мин əмринəə рōшəдə
When the youths took refuge in the Cave, they said, ‘Our Lord! Grant us a mercy from Yourself, and help us on to rectitude in our affair.’ -
18:13
نَّحْنُ نَقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ نَبَأَهُم بِالْحَقِّ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ فِتْيَةٌ آمَنُوا بِرَبِّهِمْ وَزِدْنَاهُمْ هُدًىнəhну нəќуссу 'əлэйкə нəбə`əhумм-би-ль-həќќ, иннəhум фитйəтун əəмəнуу бирōббиhим вəзиднəəhум hудəн
We relate to you their account in truth. They were indeed youths who had faith in their Lord, and We had enhanced them in guidance, -
18:14
وَرَبَطْنَا عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ إِذْ قَامُوا فَقَالُوا رَبُّنَا رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ لَن نَّدْعُوَ مِن دُونِهِ إِلَـٰهًا ۖ لَّقَدْ قُلْنَا إِذًا شَطَطًاвəрōбəтнəə 'əлəə ќулююбиhим из̃ ќōōмуу фəќōōлюю рōббунəə рōббус-сəмəəвəəти вəəль`əрды лəн-нəд'увə миŋŋ-дууниhи илəəhə, лəќōд ќульнəə из̃əн шəтōтō
and fortified their hearts, when they stood up and said, ‘Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth. We will never invoke any god besides Him, for then we shall certainly have said an atrocious lie. -
18:15
هَـٰؤُلَاءِ قَوْمُنَا اتَّخَذُوا مِن دُونِهِ آلِهَةً ۖ لَّوْلَا يَأْتُونَ عَلَيْهِم بِسُلْطَانٍ بَيِّنٍ ۖ فَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرَىٰ عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًاhəə`улəə`и ќōумунəə-ттəхōз̃уу миŋŋ-дууниhи əəлиhəh, лəулəə йə`туунə 'əлэйhимм-бисультōōнимм-бэййин, фəмəн əз̃лəму миммəни-фтəрōō 'əлəл-лаhи кəз̃ибə
These—our people—have taken gods besides Him. Why do they not bring any clear authority touching them? So who is a greater wrongdoer than he who fabricates a lie against Allah? -
18:16
وَإِذِ اعْتَزَلْتُمُوهُمْ وَمَا يَعْبُدُونَ إِلَّا اللَّهَ فَأْوُوا إِلَى الْكَهْفِ يَنشُرْ لَكُمْ رَبُّكُم مِّن رَّحْمَتِهِ وَيُهَيِّئْ لَكُم مِّنْ أَمْرِكُم مِّرْفَقًاвə`из̃и-'тəзəльтумууhум вəмəə йə'будуунə ильлəл-лаhə фə`вуу илəəль-кəhфи йəŋŋшур лəкум рōббукум-мир-рōhмəтиhи вəйуhəййи лəкум-мин əмрикум-мирфəќō
When you have dissociated yourselves from them and from what they worship except Allah, then take refuge in the Cave. Your Lord will unfold His mercy for you, and He will help you on to ease in your affair.’ -
18:17
۞ وَتَرَى الشَّمْسَ إِذَا طَلَعَت تَّزَاوَرُ عَن كَهْفِهِمْ ذَاتَ الْيَمِينِ وَإِذَا غَرَبَت تَّقْرِضُهُمْ ذَاتَ الشِّمَالِ وَهُمْ فِي فَجْوَةٍ مِّنْهُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ ۗ مَن يَهْدِ اللَّهُ فَهُوَ الْمُهْتَدِ ۖ وَمَن يُضْلِلْ فَلَن تَجِدَ لَهُ وَلِيًّا مُّرْشِدًاвəтəрōōш-шəмсə из̃əə тōлə'əт-тəзəəвəру 'əŋŋ-кəhфиhим з̃əəтəль-йəмиини вə`из̃əə ґōрōбəт-тəќридуhум з̃əəтəш-шимəəли вəhум фии фəджвəтимм-минh, з̃əəликə мин əəйəəтиль-лəh, мəй-йəhдиль-лəhу фəhувəль-муhтəд, вəмəй-йудлиль фəлəŋŋ-тəджидə лəhу вəлиййəмм-муршидə
You may see the sun, when it rises, slanting toward the right of their cave, and, when it sets, cut across them towards the left, and they are in a cavern within it. That is one of Allah’s signs. Whomever Allah guides is rightly guided, and whomever He leads astray, you will never find for him any guardian or guide. -
18:18
وَتَحْسَبُهُمْ أَيْقَاظًا وَهُمْ رُقُودٌ ۚ وَنُقَلِّبُهُمْ ذَاتَ الْيَمِينِ وَذَاتَ الشِّمَالِ ۖ وَكَلْبُهُم بَاسِطٌ ذِرَاعَيْهِ بِالْوَصِيدِ ۚ لَوِ اطَّلَعْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ لَوَلَّيْتَ مِنْهُمْ فِرَارًا وَلَمُلِئْتَ مِنْهُمْ رُعْبًاвəтəhсəбуhум əйќōōз̃ōу-вəhум руќууд, вəнуќōллибуhум з̃əəтəль-йəмиини вəз̃əəтəш-шимəəль, вəкəльбуhумм-бəəситун з̃ирōō'əйhи би-ль-вəсыыд, лəви-ттōлə'тə 'əлэйhим лəвəльлəйтə минhум фирōōрōу-вəлəмули`тə минhум ру'бə
You will suppose them to be awake, although they are asleep. We turn them to the right and to the left, and their dog [lies] stretching its forelegs at the threshold. If you come upon them, you will surely turn to flee from them, and you will surely be filled with a terror of them. -
18:19
وَكَذَٰلِكَ بَعَثْنَاهُمْ لِيَتَسَاءَلُوا بَيْنَهُمْ ۚ قَالَ قَائِلٌ مِّنْهُمْ كَمْ لَبِثْتُمْ ۖ قَالُوا لَبِثْنَا يَوْمًا أَوْ بَعْضَ يَوْمٍ ۚ قَالُوا رَبُّكُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا لَبِثْتُمْ فَابْعَثُوا أَحَدَكُم بِوَرِقِكُمْ هَـٰذِهِ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَلْيَنظُرْ أَيُّهَا أَزْكَىٰ طَعَامًا فَلْيَأْتِكُم بِرِزْقٍ مِّنْهُ وَلْيَتَلَطَّفْ وَلَا يُشْعِرَنَّ بِكُمْ أَحَدًاвəкəз̃əəликə бə'əc̃нəəhум лийəтəсəə`əлюю бэйнəhум, ќōōлə ќōō`илюмм-минhум кəм лəбиc̃тум, ќōōлюю лəбиc̃нəə йəумəн əу бə'дō йəум, ќōōлюю рōббукум ə'лəму бимəə лəбиc̃тум фəəб'əc̃уу əhəдəкумм-бивəриќикум həəз̃иhи илəəль-мəдиинəти фəльйəŋŋз̃ур əййуhəə əзкəə тō'əəмəн фəльйə`тикумм-биризќимм-минhу вəльйəтəлəттōф вəлəə йуш'ирōннə бикум əhəдə
So it was that We aroused them [from sleep] so that they might question one another. One of them said, ‘How long have you stayed [here]?’ They said, ‘We have stayed a day, or part of a day.’ They said, ‘Your Lord knows best how long you have stayed. Send one of you to the city with this money. Let him observe which of them has the purest food, and bring you provisions from there. Let him be attentive, and let him not make anyone aware of you. -
18:20
إِنَّهُمْ إِن يَظْهَرُوا عَلَيْكُمْ يَرْجُمُوكُمْ أَوْ يُعِيدُوكُمْ فِي مِلَّتِهِمْ وَلَن تُفْلِحُوا إِذًا أَبَدًاиннəhум ий-йəз̃həруу 'əлэйкум йəрджумуукум əу йу'иидуукум фии мильлəтиhим вəлəŋŋ-туфлиhуу из̃əн əбəдə
Indeed should they prevail over you, they will [either] stone you [to death], or force you back into their creed, and then you will never be saved. ’
