11 فَلَا اقْتَحَمَ الْعَقَبَةَ But he hath made no haste on the path that is steep. |
12 وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْعَقَبَةُ And what will explain to thee the path that is steep?- |
13
فَكُّ رَقَبَةٍ (It is:) freeing the bondman; |
14 أَوْ إِطْعَامٌ فِي يَوْمٍ ذِي مَسْغَبَةٍ Or the giving of food in a day of privation |
15 يَتِيماً ذَا مَقْرَبَةٍ
To the orphan with claims of relationship, |
16 أَوْ مِسْكِيناً ذَا مَتْرَبَةٍ Or to the indigent (down) in the dust. |
17 ثُمَّ كَانَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَتَوَاصَوْا
بِالصَّبْرِ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْمَرْحَمَةِ Then will he be of those who believe, and enjoin patience, (constancy, and self-restraint), and enjoin deeds of kindness and compassion. |
18 أُوْلَئِكَ أَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ Such are the Companions of the Right Hand. |
19 وَالَّذِينَ
كَفَرُوا بِآيَاتِنَا هُمْ أَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ But those who reject Our Signs, they are the (unhappy) Companions of the Left Hand. |
20 عَلَيْهِمْ نَارٌ مُّؤْصَدَةٌ On them will be Fire vaulted over (all round). |
