English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

18:51

وَإِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ ٱسْجُدُوا۟ لِءَادَمَ فَسَجَدُوٓا۟ إِلَّآ إِبْلِيسَ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْجِنِّ فَفَسَقَ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهِۦٓ ۗ أَفَتَتَّخِذُونَهُۥ وَذُرِّيَّتَهُۥٓ أَوْلِيَآءَ مِن دُونِى وَهُمْ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّۢ ۚ بِئْسَ لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ بَدَلًا

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

And remember the time when We said to the angels, ‘Submit to Adam,’ and they all submitted, except Iblis. He was one of the Jinn; and he disobeyed the command of his Lord. Will you then take him and his offspring for friends instead of Me while they are your enemies? Evil is the exchange for the wrongdoers.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اور جب ہم نے فرشتوں کو کہا کہ آدم کے لئے سجدہ کرو تو سب نے سجدہ کیا سوائے ابلیس کے۔ وہ جنوں میں سے تھا پس وہ اپنے ربّ کے حکم سے رُوگردان ہوگیا۔ تو کیا تم اسے اور اس کے چیلوں کو میرے سوا دوست پکڑ بیٹھو گے جبکہ وہ تمہارے دشمن ہیں؟ ظالموں کے لئے یہ تو بہت ہی برا بدل ہے۔

French

Et souvenez-vous lorsque Nous avons dit aux anges : « Soumettez-vous à Adam, » et tous se soumirent excepté Iblīs. Il était un des djinns ; et il désobéit à l’ordre de son Seigneur. Voulez-vous donc les prendre, lui et sa progéniture, pour amis à Ma place alors qu’ils sont vos ennemis ! Pour les injustes l’échange est vraiment mauvais.

German

Und (gedenke der Zeit) da Wir zu den Engeln sprachen: "Bezeuget Adam Ehrerbietung", und sie bezeugten Ehrerbietung. Nur Iblis nicht. Er war einer der Jinn*, so war er ungehorsam gegen den Befehl seines Herrn. Wollt ihr nun ihn und seine Nachkommenschaft zu Freunden nehmen statt Mich, und sie sind eure Feinde? Schlimm ist der Eintausch für die Frevler.

Chinese

[c](要忆起那个时候,) 我对众天使说: “要随同阿丹叩头! 除开伊布利司外, 他们都叩头了。他原是精纳 (非普通人) 一类的; 他违背了他养主的命令。(我的仆人啊!) 你们离弃我而与他和他的子孙为友吗? 其实, 他们是你们的敌人。不义的人所交换的, 多么坏啊!

2:35; 7:12; 15:30, 31; 17:62; 20:117; 38:73-75.

Italian

E ricorda il tempo in cui dicemmo agli angeli: «Sottomettetevi a Adamo», e tutti quanti si sottomisero, tranne Iblis. Egli era uno dei Ğinn, e disobbedì all'ordine del suo Signore. Vorrete dunque prendere lui e la sua progenie come amici, invece di Me? Ma essi sono vostri nemici! Ed è un pessimo scambio per i malvagi.

Spanish

Y acuérdate de cuando dijimos a los ángeles: “Someteos a dán” y todos ellos se sometieron, excepto Iblis. Era uno de los Yinn; y desobedeció la orden de su Señor. ¿Tomaréis acaso a él y a su progenie como amigos en lugar de a Mí, a pesar de que son vuestros enemigos? Malo es el intercambio para los inicuos.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

اور (اس وقت کو بھی یاد کرو) جب ہم نے فرشتوں سے کہا تھا کہ تم آدم کے ساتھ (مل کر) سجدہ کرو۔ اس پر انہوں نے (تو اس حکم کے مطابق اس کے ساتھ ہوکر) سجدہ کیا مگر ابلیس نے (نہ کیا) وہ جِنّوں [1]میں سے تھا سو اس نے (اپنی فطرت کے مطابق) اپنے رب کے حکم کی نافرمانی کی۔ (اے میرے بندو)! کیا تم مجھے چھوڑ کر اس (شیطان) کو اور اس کی نسل کو (اپنے) دوست بناتے ہو حالانکہ وہ تمہارے دشمن ہیں وہ (شیطان) ظالموں کے لئے بہت ہی برا بدلہ ثابت ہوا ہے۔

English - Short Commentary Translation

[b]And call to mind the time when We said to the angels, ‘Submit to Adam,’ and they all submitted but Iblis did not. He was one of the jinn; and he disobeyed the command of his Lord. Will you then take him and his offspring for friends instead of Me while they are your enemies? Evil is the exchange for the wrongdoers.

2:35; 7:12; 15:30, 31; 17:62; 20:117; 38:73-75.

English - Five Volume Translation

[b]And remember the time when We said to the angels, ‘Submit to Adam,’ and they all submitted. But Iblis did not. He was one of the Jinn; and he disobeyed the command of his Lord. Will you then take him and his offspring for friends instead of Me while they are your enemies? Evil is the exchange for the wrongdoers.[2091]

2:35; 7:20; 15:30-31; 17:62; 20:117; 38:73-75.

Commentary:

It is worthy of special note that at several places in the Quran where mention is made of the punishment which overtakes a people when they reject their Prophet, its object is to warn their successors that they should not repeat the errors of their predecessors. The example of Adam, our great progenitor whom Satan sought to seduce and involve in trouble, is set before disbelievers that they may benefit by it and not fall victims to the seductions of Satan and reject their Prophet.

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

یاد کرو، جب ہم نے فرشتوں سے کہا کہ آدمؑ کو سجدہ کرو تو انہوں نے سجدہ کیا مگر ابلیس نے نہ کیا وہ جنوں میں سے تھا اس لیے اپنے رب کے حکم کی اطاعت سے نکل گیا اب کیا تم مجھے چھوڑ کر اُس کو اور اس کی ذرّیّت کو اپنا سرپرست بناتے ہو حالانکہ وہ تمہارے دشمن ہیں؟ بڑا ہی برا بدل ہے جسے ظالم لوگ اختیار کر رہے ہیں

English - Sahih

And [mention] when We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam," and they prostrated, except for Iblees. He was of the jinn and departed from the command of his Lord. Then will you take him and his descendants as allies other than Me while they are enemies to you? Wretched it is for the wrongdoers as an exchange.

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

اور جب ہم نے فرشتوں سے کہا آدم کو سجدہ کرو تو سوائے ابلیس کے سب نے سجدہ کیا وہ جنوں میں سے تھا سو اپنے رب کے حکم کی نافرمانی کی پھر کیا تم مجھے چھوڑ کر اسے اور اس کی اولاد کو کارساز بناتے ہو حالانکہ وہ تمہارے دشمن ہیں بے انصافوں کو برا بدل ملا

English - Talal Itani

And when We said to the Angels, "Prostrate to Adam," so they prostrated except Iblis. (He) was of the jinn, and he rebelled against the Command (of) his Lord. Will you then take him and his offspring (as) protectors other than Me, while they (are) to you enemies? Wretched for the wrongdoers (is) the exchange.

English - Arberry

And when We said to the angels, 'Bow yourselves to Adam'; so they bowed themselves, save Iblis; he was one of the jinn, and committed ungodliness against his Lord's command. What, and do you take him and his seed to be your friends, apart from Me, and they an enemy to you? How evil is that exchange for the evildoers!

English - Maududi

And recall when We said to the angels: "Prostrate yourselves before Adam"; all of them fell prostrate, except Iblis. He was of the jinn and so disobeyed the command of his Lord. Will you, then, take him and his progeny as your guardians rather than Me although they are your open enemies? What an evil substitute are these wrong-doers taking!

English - Ahmed Ali

When We said to the angels: "Bow before Adam in adoration," they all bowed but Iblis. He was one of the jinni and rebelled against his Lord's command. And yet you take him and his offspring as your friends instead of Me, even though they are your enemies. How sad a substitute for the evil-doers!

English - Yusuf Ali

Behold! We said to the angels, "Bow down to Adam": They bowed down except Iblis. He was one of the Jinns, and he broke the Command of his Lord. Will ye then take him and his progeny as protectors rather than Me? And they are enemies to you! Evil would be the exchange for the wrong-doers!

English - Pickthall

And (remember) when We said unto the angels: Fall prostrate before Adam, and they fell prostrate, all save Iblis. He was of the jinn, so he rebelled against his Lord's command. Will ye choose him and his seed for your protecting friends instead of Me, when they are an enemy unto you? Calamitous is the exchange for evil-doers.

English - Muhammad Ali ^ra

And when We said to the angels: Make submission to Adam, they submitted except Iblis. He was of the jinn, so he transgressed the commandment of his Lord. Will you then take him and his offspring for friends rather than Me, and they are your enemies? Evil is the exchange for the unjust.

English - Sir Muhammad Zafrullah Khan ^ra

Call to mind when We commanded the angels: Fall down prostrate along with Adam. They did so, but Iblis did not. He was one of the fiery-tempered arrogant ones, so he disobeyed the command of his Lord. Will you then take him and his progeny, all of whom are your enemies, for friends instead of Me? Evil is this exchange for the wrongdoers.
