English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

20:116

وَلَقَدْ عَهِدْنَآ إِلَىٰٓ ءَادَمَ مِن قَبْلُ فَنَسِىَ وَلَمْ نَجِدْ لَهُۥ عَزْمًا

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

And verily, We had made a covenant with Adam beforehand, but he forgot, and We found in him no determination to disobey.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اور یقیناً ہم نے قبل ازیں آدم سے بھی عہد باندھا تھا پس وہ بھول گیا۔ اور ہم نے (اسے توڑنے کا) اس کا کوئی ارادہ نہیں پایا۔

French

Et en vérité Nous avions fait un pacte avec Adam auparavant, mais il oublia et Nous ne trouvâmes en lui aucune volonté de Nous désobéir .

German

Wahrlich, Wir schlossen einen Bund mit Adam zuvor, aber er vergaß; Wir fanden jedoch in ihm keine Absicht (zum Bösen).

Chinese

我以前曾吩咐阿丹 (一件事情), 但是他忘记了, 我未见他立意[821] (不服从我的命令)。

这节经文说明阿丹的失足仅仅是判断上的失误。这全是无意的, 偶然的, 绝对不是有意的或存心的。犯错是人之常情。

Italian

E in verità Noi avevamo già fatto un patto con Adamo, ma egli lo dimenticò, anche se non trovammo in lui nessuna intenzione di disobbedienza.

Spanish

En verdad, hicimos previamente un pacto con Adán, y él lo olvidó, pero no lo encontramos decidido a desobedecer.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

اور ہم نے اس سے پہلے آدم کو (ایک امر کی) تاکید کی تھی مگر وہ بھول گیا اور ہم نے خوب جانچ لیا کہ اس کے دل میں ہمارا حکم توڑنے کے متعلق کوئی پختہ ارادہ نہیں تھا۔

English - Short Commentary Translation

And verily, We had made a covenant with Adam beforehand, but he forgot, and We found in him no resolve[1856] to disobey Us.

The verse shows that Adam’s lapse was only an error of judgment. It was inadvertent and involuntary and not at all intentional or deliberate. To err is human.

English - Five Volume Translation

And verily, We had made a covenant with Adam beforehand, but he forgot, and We found in him no determination to disobey.[2324]

Important Words:

عھدنا (We had made a covenant). عھد means, he promised. عھد الامر means, he knew the affair. عھد فلان وعدہ means, he guarded and fulfilled his promise. عھد الی فلان means, he enjoined upon him or commanded him and made it a condition for him (Lane & Aqrab).

Commentary:

The verse shows that Adam’s lapse was only an error of judgement on his part. It was quite inadvertent and involuntary and not at all intentional or deliberate. To err is human and man, however spiritually exalted he might be, is prone to forgetfulness and consequently is sometimes liable to falter.

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

ہم نے اِس سے پہلے آدمؑ کو ایک حکم دیا تھا، مگر وہ بھول گیا اور ہم نے اُس میں عزم نہ پایا

English - Sahih

And We had already taken a promise from Adam before, but he forgot; and We found not in him determination.

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

اور ہم نے اس سے پہلے آدم سے بھی عہد لیا تھا پھر وہ بھول گیا اور ہم نے اس میں پختگی نہ پائی

English - Talal Itani

And verily We made a covenant with Adam before, but he forgot; and not We found in him determination.
