بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّح۪يمِ
18:81 We asked their Lord to replace him with one more pure and merciful than he.
فَاَرَدْنَٓا اَنْ يُبْدِلَهُمَا رَبُّهُمَا خَيْراً مِنْهُ زَكٰوةً وَاَقْرَبَ رُحْماً
18:82 And the wall belonged to the two orphans of the city. There was a treasure under the wall that belonged to them. Their father was a righteous man. Your Lord willed that when they grew up and became full-grown, they should reveal their treasure as a mercy from your Lord. I did not do these things of my own will. These are the explanations of that which you cannot bear.
وَاَمَّا الْجِدَارُ فَكَانَ لِغُلَامَيْنِ يَت۪يمَيْنِ فِي الْمَد۪ينَةِ وَكَانَ تَحْتَهُ كَنْزٌ لَهُمَا وَكَانَ اَبُوهُمَا صَالِحاًۚ فَاَرَادَ رَبُّكَ اَنْ يَبْلُغَٓا اَشُدَّهُمَا وَيَسْتَخْرِجَا كَنْزَهُمَاۗ رَحْمَةً مِنْ رَبِّكَۚ وَمَا فَعَلْتُهُ عَنْ اَمْر۪يۜ ذٰلِكَ تَأْو۪يلُ مَا لَمْ تَسْطِـعْ عَلَيْهِ صَبْراًۜ۟
18:83 "They ask you about the one who ruled for two generations. Say, "I will convey to you an admonition and a reminder from him."
وَيَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنْ ذِي الْقَرْنَيْنِۜ قُلْ سَاَتْلُوا عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْهُ ذِكْراًۜ
18:84 We gave him the power of governing in the earth and all kinds of means
اِنَّا مَكَّنَّا لَهُ فِي الْاَرْضِ وَاٰتَيْنَاهُ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ سَبَباًۙ
فَاَتْبَعَ سَبَباً
18:86 "When he reached the far west, he found the sun sinking in a great ocean and he met a people there. We said: "O Owner of the Two Generations, punish them if you wish, or treat them kindly"."
حَتّٰٓى اِذَا بَلَغَ مَغْرِبَ الشَّمْسِ وَجَدَهَا تَغْرُبُ ف۪ي عَيْنٍ حَمِئَةٍ وَوَجَدَ عِنْدَهَا قَوْماًۜ قُلْنَا يَا ذَا الْقَرْنَيْنِ اِمَّٓا اَنْ تُعَذِّبَ وَاِمَّٓا اَنْ تَتَّخِذَ ف۪يهِمْ حُسْناً
18:87 "He said, "Whoever does injustice, We will punish him, and when he is returned to his Lord, he will be punished with an unprecedented punishment."
قَالَ اَمَّا مَنْ ظَلَمَ فَسَوْفَ نُعَذِّبُهُ ثُمَّ يُرَدُّ اِلٰى رَبِّه۪ فَيُعَذِّبُهُ عَذَاباً نُكْراً
18:88 As for him who believes and does righteous deeds, for him is a good reward. We will make it easy for him.
وَاَمَّا مَنْ اٰمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحاً فَلَهُ جَزَٓاءًۨ الْحُسْنٰىۚ وَسَنَقُولُ لَهُ مِنْ اَمْرِنَا يُسْراًۜ
ثُمَّ اَتْـبَعَ سَبَباً
18:90 When he reached the far east, he found the sun rising on a people who had nothing to protect them from the sun.
حَتّٰٓى اِذَا بَلَغَ مَطْلِعَ الشَّمْسِ وَجَدَهَا تَطْلُعُ عَلٰى قَوْمٍ لَمْ نَجْعَلْ لَهُمْ مِنْ دُونِهَا سِتْراًۙ
كَذٰلِكَۜ وَقَدْ اَحَطْنَا بِمَا لَدَيْهِ خُبْراً
ثُمَّ اَتْبَعَ سَبَباً
18:93 When he reached between two walls, he found beyond them a people who could hardly understand words
حَتّٰٓى اِذَا بَلَغَ بَيْنَ السَّدَّيْنِ وَجَدَ مِنْ دُونِهِمَا قَوْماًۙ لَا يَكَادُونَ يَفْقَهُونَ قَوْلاً
18:94 "They said, "O the Possessor of the Two Generations (Zul Qarnayn), Yajuj and Majuj are committing evil in the earth. Can we pay you a tax so that you may put a barrier between us and them?"
قَالُوا يَا ذَا الْقَرْنَيْنِ اِنَّ يَأْجُوجَ وَمَأْجُوجَ مُفْسِدُونَ فِي الْاَرْضِ فَهَلْ نَجْعَلُ لَكَ خَرْجاً عَلٰٓى اَنْ تَجْعَلَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهُمْ سَداًّ
18:95 "He said, "What my Lord has given me is better. Help me with your strength so that I may build a wall between you and them."
قَالَ مَا مَكَّنّ۪ي ف۪يهِ رَبّ۪ي خَيْرٌ فَاَع۪ينُون۪ي بِقُوَّةٍ اَجْعَلْ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَهُمْ رَدْماًۙ
18:96 "Bring me masses of iron."When he filled the space between the two barricades, he said, "Blow!"And when he turned it into a fire, he said, "Bring it, and I will pour molten copper on it."
اٰتُون۪ي زُبَرَ الْحَد۪يدِۜ حَتّٰٓى اِذَا سَاوٰى بَيْنَ الصَّدَفَيْنِ قَالَ انْفُخُواۜ حَتّٰٓى اِذَا جَعَلَهُ نَاراًۙ قَالَ اٰتُون۪ٓي اُفْرِغْ عَلَيْهِ قِطْراًۜ
فَمَا اسْطَاعُٓوا اَنْ يَظْهَرُوهُ وَمَا اسْتَطَاعُوا لَهُ نَقْباً
18:98 "He said: "This is a mercy from my Lord". "When the Hour appointed by my Lord comes, He will shatter it to pieces. The Word of my Lord is true."
قَالَ هٰذَا رَحْمَةٌ مِنْ رَبّ۪يۚ فَاِذَا جَٓاءَ وَعْدُ رَبّ۪ي جَعَلَهُ دَكَّٓاءَۚ وَكَانَ وَعْدُ رَبّ۪ي حَقاًّۜ
18:99 On that Day We will leave them. They will enter one another in waves. We blow on the horn; We gather them all together.
وَتَرَكْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَمُوجُ ف۪ي بَعْضٍ وَنُفِخَ فِي الصُّورِ فَجَمَعْنَاهُمْ جَمْعاًۙ
وَعَرَضْنَا جَهَنَّمَ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلْكَافِر۪ينَ عَرْضاًۙ
