1 Surahs13 Versesركوع 3
2:8
وَمِنَ
And of
ٱلنَّاسِ
the people
مَن
(are some) who
يَقُولُ
say
ءَامَنَّا
We believed
بِٱللَّهِ
in Allah
وَبِٱلۡيَوۡمِ
and in the Day
ٱلۡأَخِرِ
[the] Last
وَمَا
but not
هُم
they
بِمُؤۡمِنِينَ
(are) believers (at all)
٨
And of the people are some who say, "We believe in Allāh and the Last Day," but they are not believers.
2:9
يُخَـٰدِعُونَ
They seek to deceive
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
وَٱلَّذِينَ
and those who
ءَامَنُواۡ
believe[d]
وَمَا
and not
يَخۡدَعُونَ
they deceive
إِلَّآ
except
أَنفُسَهُمۡ
themselves
وَمَا
and not
يَشۡعُرُونَ
they realize (it)
٩
They [think to] deceive Allāh and those who believe, but they deceive not except themselves and perceive [it] not.
2:10
فِى
In
قُلُوبِهِم
their hearts
مَّرَضٌ
(is) a disease
فَزَادَهُمُ
so has increased them
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
مَرَضًا‌ۖ
(in) disease
وَلَهُمۡ
and for them
عَذَابٌ
(is) a punishment
أَلِيمُۢ
painful
بِمَا
because
كَانُواۡ
they used to
يَكۡذِبُونَ
[they] lie
١٠
In their hearts is disease, so Allāh has increased their disease;1 and for them is a painful punishment because they [habitually] used to lie.
2:11
وَإِذَا
And when
قِيلَ
it is said
لَهُمۡ
to them
لَا
(Do) not
تُفۡسِدُواۡ
spread corruption
فِى
in
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
the earth
قَالُوٓاۡ
they say
إِنَّمَا
Only
نَحۡنُ
we
مُصۡلِحُونَ
(are) reformers
١١
And when it is said to them, "Do not cause corruption on the earth," they say, "We are but reformers."
2:12
أَلَآ
Beware
إِنَّهُمۡ
indeed they
هُمُ
themselves
ٱلۡمُفۡسِدُونَ
(are) the ones who spread corruption
وَلَـٰكِن
[and] but
لَّا
not
يَشۡعُرُونَ
they realize (it)
١٢
Unquestionably, it is they who are the corrupters, but they perceive [it] not.
2:13
وَإِذَا
And when
قِيلَ
it is said
لَهُمۡ
to them
ءَامِنُواۡ
Believe
كَمَآ
as
ءَامَنَ
believed
ٱلنَّاسُ
the people
قَالُوٓاۡ
they say
أَنُؤۡمِنُ
Should we believe
كَمَآ
as
ءَامَنَ
believed
ٱلسُّفَهَآءُ‌ۗ
the fools
أَلَآ
Beware
إِنَّهُمۡ
certainly they
هُمُ
themselves
ٱلسُّفَهَآءُ
(are) the fools
وَلَـٰكِن
[and] but
لَّا
not
يَعۡلَمُونَ
they know
١٣
And when it is said to them, "Believe as the people have believed," they say, "Should we believe as the foolish have believed?" Unquestionably, it is they who are the foolish, but they know [it] not.
2:14
وَإِذَا
And when
لَقُواۡ
they meet
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
ءَامَنُواۡ
believe[d]
قَالُوٓاۡ
they say
ءَامَنَّا
We believe[d]
وَإِذَا
But when
خَلَوۡاۡ
they are alone
إِلَىٰ
with
شَيَـٰطِينِهِمۡ
their evil ones
قَالُوٓاۡ
they say
إِنَّا
Indeed, we
مَعَكُمۡ
(are) with you
إِنَّمَا
only
نَحۡنُ
we
مُسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ
(are) mockers
١٤
And when they meet those who believe, they say, "We believe"; but when they are alone with their evil ones, they say, "Indeed, we are with you; we were only mockers."
2:15
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
يَسۡتَهۡزِئُ
mocks
بِهِمۡ
at them
وَيَمُدُّهُمۡ
and prolongs them
فِى
in
طُغۡيَـٰنِهِمۡ
their transgression
يَعۡمَهُونَ
they wander blindly
١٥
[But] Allāh mocks them and prolongs them in their transgression [while] they wander blindly.
2:16
أُوۡلَـٰٓئِكَ
Those
ٱلَّذِينَ
(are) the ones who
ٱشۡتَرَوُاۡ
bought
ٱلضَّلَـٰلَةَ
[the] astraying
بِٱلۡهُدَىٰ
for [the] guidance
فَمَا
So not
رَبِحَت
profited
تِّجَـٰرَتُهُمۡ
their commerce
وَمَا
and not
كَانُواۡ
were they
مُهۡتَدِينَ
guided-ones
١٦
Those are the ones who have purchased error [in exchange] for guidance, so their transaction has brought no profit, nor were they guided.
2:17
مَثَلُهُمۡ
Their example
كَمَثَلِ
(is) like (the) example
ٱلَّذِى
(of) the one who
ٱسۡتَوۡقَدَ
kindled
نَارًا
a fire
فَلَمَّآ
then, when
أَضَآءَتۡ
it illuminated
مَا
what
حَوۡلَهُۥ
(was) around him
ذَهَبَ
took away
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
بِنُورِهِمۡ
their light
وَتَرَكَهُمۡ
and left them
فِى
in
ظُلُمَـٰتٍ
darkness[es]
لَّا
(so) not
يُبۡصِرُونَ
(do) they see
١٧
Their example is that of one who kindled a fire, but when it illuminated what was around him, Allāh took away their light and left them in darkness [so] they could not see.
2:18
صُمُّۢ
Deaf
بُكۡمٌ
dumb
عُمۡىٌ
blind
فَهُمۡ
so they
لَا
not
يَرۡجِعُونَ
[they] will not return
١٨
Deaf, dumb and blind - so they will not return [to the right path].
2:19
أَوۡ
Or
كَصَيِّبٍ
like a rainstorm
مِّنَ
from
ٱلسَّمَآءِ
the sky
فِيهِ
in it (are)
ظُلُمَـٰتٌ
darkness[es]
وَرَعۡدٌ
and thunder
وَبَرۡقٌ
and lightning
يَجۡعَلُونَ
They put
أَصَـٰبِعَهُمۡ
their fingers
فِىٓ
in
ءَاذَانِهِم
their ears
مِّنَ
from
ٱلصَّوٰعِقِ
the thunderclaps
حَذَرَ
(in) fear (of)
ٱلۡمَوۡتِ‌ۚ
[the] death
وَٱللَّهُ
And Allah
مُحِيطُۢ
(is) [the One Who] encompasses
بِٱلۡكَـٰفِرِينَ
the disbelievers
١٩
Or [it is] like a rainstorm from the sky within which is darkness, thunder and lightning. They put their fingers in their ears against the thunderclaps in dread of death. But Allāh is encompassing1 of the disbelievers.
2:20
يَكَادُ
Almost
ٱلۡبَرۡقُ
the lightning
يَخۡطَفُ
snatches away
أَبۡصَـٰرَهُمۡ‌ۖ
their sight
كُلَّمَآ
Whenever
أَضَآءَ
it flashes
لَهُم
for them
مَّشَوۡاۡ
they walk
فِيهِ
in it
وَإِذَآ
and when
أَظۡلَمَ
it darkens
عَلَيۡهِمۡ
on them
قَامُواۡ‌ۚ
they stand (still)
وَلَوۡ
And if
شَآءَ
had willed
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
لَذَهَبَ
He would certainly have taken away
بِسَمۡعِهِمۡ
their hearing
وَأَبۡصَـٰرِهِمۡ‌ۚ
and their sight
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
عَلَىٰ
(is) on
كُلِّ
every
شَىۡءٍ
thing
قَدِيرٌ
All-Powerful
٢٠
The lightning almost snatches away their sight. Every time it lights [the way] for them, they walk therein; but when darkness comes over them, they stand [still]. And if Allāh had willed, He could have taken away their hearing and their sight. Indeed, Allāh is over all things competent.
