Walaqad jaat rusuluna ibraheema bialbushra qaloo salaman qala salamun fama labitha an jaa biAAijlin haneethin\n69. There came Our Messengers\n To Abraham with glad tidings.\nThey said, \"Peace!\" He answered,\n \"Peace!\" and hastened\n To entertain them\n With a roasted calf.\n70. Falamma raa aydiyahum la tasilu ilayhi nakirahum waawjasa minhum kheefatan qaloo la takhaf inna orsilna ila qawmi lootin\n70. But when he saw\n Their hands went not\n Towards the (meal), he felt\n Some mistrust of them,\n And conceived a fear of them.\n They said: \"Fear not:\n We have been sent\n Against the people of L\u016bt.\"\n71. Waimraatuhu qa-imatun fadahikat fabashsharnaha bi-ishaqa wamin wara-i ishaqa yaAAqooba\n71. And his wife was standing\n (There), and she laughed:\n But We gave her\n Glad tidings of Isaac,\n And after him, of Jacob.\n72. Qalat ya waylata aalidu waana AAajoozun wahatha baAAlee shaykhan inna hatha lashay-on AAajeebun\n72. She said: \"Alas for me!\n Shall I bear a child,\n Seeing I am an old woman,\n And my husband here\n Is an old man?\n That would indeed\n Be a wonderful thing!\"\n73. Qaloo ataAAjabeena min amri Allahi rahmatu Allahi wabarakatuhu AAalaykum ahla albayti innahu hameedun majeedun\n73. They said: \"Dost thou\n Wonder at God's decree?\n The grace of God\n And His blessings on you,\n O ye people of the house!\n For He is indeed\n Worthy of all praise,\n Full of all glory!\"\n74. Falamma thahaba AAan ibraheema alrrawAAu wajaat-hu albushra yujadiluna fee qawmi lootin\n74. When fear had passed\n From (the mind of) Abraham\n And the glad tidings\n Had reached him, he\n Began to plead with Us\n For L\u016bt's people.\n75. Inna ibraheema lahaleemun awwahun muneebun\n75. For Abraham was,\n Without doubt, forbearing\n (Of faults), compassionate,\n And given to look to God.\n76. Ya ibraheemu aAArid AAan hatha innahu qad jaa amru rabbika wa-innahum ateehim AAathabun ghayru mardoodin\n76. O Abraham! Seek not this.\n The decree of thy Lord\n Hath gone forth: for them\n There cometh a Penalty\nThat cannot be turned back!\n77. Walamma jaat rusuluna lootan see-a bihim wadaqa bihim tharAAan waqala hatha yawmun AAaseebun\n77. When Our Messengers\n Came to L\u016bt, he was\n Grieved on their account\n And felt himself powerless\n (To protect) them. He said:\n \"This is a distressful day.\"\n78. Wajaahu qawmuhu yuhraAAoona ilayhi wamin qablu kanoo yaAAmaloona alssayyi-ati qala ya qawmi haola-i banatee hunna atharu lakum faittaqoo Allaha wala tukhzooni fee dayfee alaysa minkum rajulun rasheedun\n78. And his people came\n Rushing towards him,\n And they had been long\n In the habit of practising\n Abominations. He said:\n \"O my people! Here are\n My daughters: they are purer\n For you (if ye marry)!\n Now fear God, and cover me not\n With shame about my guests!\n Is there not among you\n A single right-minded man?\"\n79. Qaloo laqad AAalimta ma lana fee banatika min haqqin wa-innaka lataAAlamu ma nureedu\n79. They said: \"Well dost thou\n Know we have no need\n Of thy daughters: indeed\n Thou knowest quite well\n What we want!\"\n80. Qala law anna lee bikum quwwatan aw awee ila ruknin shadeedin\n80. He said: \"Would that I\n Had power to suppress you\nOr that I could betake\n Myself to some powerful support.\"\n81. Qaloo ya lootu inna rusulu rabbika lan yasiloo ilayka faasri bi-ahlika biqitAAin mina allayli wala yaltafit minkum ahadun illa imraataka innahu museebuha ma asabahum inna mawAAidahumu alssubhu alaysa alssubhu biqareebin\n81. (The Messengers) said: \"O L\u016bt\n We are Messengers from thy Lord!\n By no means shall they\n Reach thee! Now travel\n With thy family while yet\n A part of the night remains,\n And let not any of you\n Look back: but thy wife\n (Will remain behind):\n To her will happen\n What happens to the people.\n Morning is their time appointed:\n Is not the morning nigh?\"\n82. Falamma jaa amruna jaAAalna AAaliyaha safilaha waamtarna AAalayha hijaratan min sijjeelin mandoodin\n82. When Our decree issued,\n We turned (the cities)\n Upside down, and rained down\n On them brimstones\n Hard as baked clay,\n Spread, layer on layer,\u2014\n83. Musawwamatan AAinda rabbika wama hiya mina alththalimeena bibaAAeedin\n83. Marked as from thy Lord:\nNor are they ever far\n From those who do wrong!","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra XI.: H\u016bd (The Prophet H\u016bd).: Section 7 (69-83)","type":"page"}
