19:27
فَكُلِى وَٱشْرَبِى وَقَرِّى عَيْنًا ۖ فَإِمَّا تَرَيِنَّ مِنَ ٱلْبَشَرِ أَحَدًا فَقُولِىٓ إِنِّى نَذَرْتُ لِلرَّحْمَٰنِ صَوْمًا فَلَنْ أُكَلِّمَ ٱلْيَوْمَ إِنسِيًّا
English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ra
“So eat and drink, and cool thy eye. And if thou seest any man, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Gracious God; I will therefore not speak this day to any human being.’”
اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ
پس تُو کھا اور پی اور اپنی آنکھیں ٹھنڈی کر اور اگر تو کسی شخص کو دیکھے تو کہہ دے کہ یقیناً میں نے رحمان کے لئے روزے کی منت مانی ہوئی ہے پس آج میں کسی انسان سے گفتگو نہیں کروں گی۔
French
Alors mange et bois, et console toi. Et si tu vois qui que ce soit, dis : « En vérité, j’ai voué un jeûne au Dieu Gracieux ; je ne parlerai donc aujourd’hui à aucun être humain. »
German
So iss und trink und kühle (dein) Auge. Und wenn du einen Menschen siehst, dann sprich: "Ich habe dem Allerbarmer ein Fasten gelobt, darum will ich heute zu keinem Wesen reden."»
Chinese
“食用 (果实), 饮喝 (泉水) 吧! 欢喜吗! 如果 (在这个时期) 你看见任何人 (来), 就说: ‘我已向无限博爱的安拉许愿斋戒, 所以今天我绝不与任何人说话。’”
Italian
Quindi mangia e bevi e rinfrescati gli occhi. E se vedi qualcuno, di': ‘Ho fatto voto al Dio Misericordioso di digiunare; perciò non parlerò quest'oggi a nessuno’.»
Spanish
“Come pues y bebe, y refréscate los ojos. Y si ves a algún humano, dile: “He hecho voto de ayunar al Dios Misericordioso; no hablaré por tanto hoy a ningún ser humano”;
اردو تفسیرِ صغیر
پس (ان کو) کھاؤ اور (چشمہ سے پانی بھی) پیئو اور (خود نہا کر اور بچہ کو نہلا کر) اپنی آنکھیں ٹھنڈی کرو‘ پھر اگر (اس عرصہ) میں تو کسی مرد کو دیکھے تو کہہ دے‘ میں نے رحمن (خدا) کے لئے (ایک) روزے کی نذر کی ہوئی ہے پس آج میں کسی انسان سے بات نہیں کروں[2] گی۔
یعنی اس طرح روزہ رکھ کر لوگوں کے سوالات سے اپنی جان چھڑاؤ۔
English - Short Commentary Translation
“So, eat and drink and cool thine eye. And if thou seest any man, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Gracious God; I will, therefore, not speak this day to any human being.”[1760]
The command to abstain from useless talk was meant, on the one hand, to conserve her physical strength and, on the other, to give her more time to devote to remembrance of God.
English - Five Volume Translation
So eat and drink, and cool thine eye. And if thou seest any man, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Gracious God; I will therefore not speak this day to any human being.’”[2171]
Commentary:
Some commentators of the Quran are of the view that Mary was commanded completely to abstain from talking. But that is not the case. Like Zachariah she was directed to abstain from talk as far as possible, but not completely, and to devote all her time in the remembrance of God. The expression فقولی (and say) itself shows that the command about abstaining from talk was not unqualified. A new baby had been born and as the birth of a new child was likely to attract the casual visitor or the passer-by and induce him to ask the mother unnecessary and vexatious questions about its parentage etc.; so in order to cut
short the possible embarrassing conversation Mary was commanded to say that she had vowed a fast to the Gracious God that she would indulge in no useless talk. Thus while on the one hand her silence conserved her physical strength, on the other she could have more time to devote to the remembrance of God.
اردو ترجمہ مودودی
پس تو کھا اور پی اور اپنی آنکھیں ٹھنڈی کر پھر اگر کوئی آدمی تجھے نظر آئے تو اس سے کہہ دے کہ میں نے رحمان کے لیے روزے کی نذر مانی ہے، اس لیے آج میں کسی سے نہ بولوں گی"
English - Sahih
So eat and drink and be contented. And if you see from among humanity anyone, say, 'Indeed, I have vowed to the Most Merciful abstention, so I will not speak today to [any] man.' "
اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ra
And none but angels have We made wardens of the Fire. And We have not fixed their number except as a trial for those who disbelieve, so that those who have been given the Book may attain to certainty, and those who believe may increase in faith, and those who have been given the Book as well as the believers may not doubt, and that those in whose hearts is disease and the disbelievers may say, ‘What does Allah mean by such an illustration?’ Thus does Allah adjudge astray whom He pleases and guide whom He pleases. And none knows the hosts of thy Lord but He. And this is nothing but a Reminder for man.
اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ
اور ہم نے فرشتوں کے سوا کسی کو جہنّم کے داروغے نہیں بنایا اور ہم نے اُن کی تعداد مقرر نہیں کی مگر اُن لوگوں کی آزمائش کی خاطر جنہوں نے کفر کیا تاکہ وہ لوگ جنہیں کتاب دی گئی وہ یقین کرلیں اور وہ لوگ جو ایمان لائے ہیں ایمان میں بڑھ جائیں اور جن کو کتاب دی گئی وہ اور مومن کسی شک میں نہ رہیں اور تا وہ جن کے دلوں میں مرض ہے اور کفار کہیں کہ آخر اللہ کا اس تمثیل سے کیا ارادہ ہے؟ اسی طرح اللہ جسے چاہتا ہے گمراہ ٹھہراتا ہے اور جسے چاہتا ہے اُسے ہدایت دیتا ہے اور تیرے ربّ کے لشکروں کو کوئی نہیں جانتا مگر وہی۔ اور یہ انسان کے لئے ایک بڑی نصیحت کے سوا اور کچھ نہیں۔
French
Et Nous n’avons désigné personne d’autre que des anges pour être les gardiens du Feu. Et Nous n’avons fixé leur nombre que pour l’épreuve des mécréants, afin que ceux à qui le Livre a été donné puissent atteindre la certitude, et que les croyants puissent augmenter leur foi, et que ceux à qui le Livre a été donné ainsi que les croyants ne doutent pas, et que ceux dans le cœur de qui il y a une maladie, et les mécréants, puissent dire : « Qu’est-ce qu’Allāh entend par cet exemple ? » C’est ainsi qu’Allāh juge égaré qui Il veut, et guide qui Il veut. Et personne ne connaît les armées de ton Seigneur sauf Lui- Même. Et ceci n’est qu’un Rappel pour l’homme.
German
und Wir haben einzig und allein Engel zu Hütern des Feuers gemacht. Und Wir setzten ihre Anzahl nicht fest, außer zur Prüfung derer, die ungläubig sind, auf dass die, denen das Buch gegeben ward, Gewissheit erreichen, und die, die gläubig sind, an Glauben zunehmen, und die, denen die Schrift gegeben ward, und die Gläubigen nicht zweifeln, und die, in deren Herzen Krankheit ist, und die Ungläubigen sprechen: "Was meint Allah mit diesem Gleichnis?" Also erklärt Allah zum Irrenden, wen Er will, und führt richtig, wen Er will. Keiner kennt die Heerscharen deines Herrn als Er allein. Dies ist nur eine Ermahnung für den Menschen.
Chinese

E Noi non abbiamo posto, a custodi del fuoco, se non angeli. E Noi non ne abbiamo stabilito il numero, se non come prova per coloro che non credono, così che coloro ai quali è stato dato il libro possano raggiungere la certezza, e coloro che credono possano aumentare la loro fede, e coloro ai quali è stato dato il libro e coloro che credono non dubitino, mentre coloro che hanno il cuore malato e i miscredenti possano dire: «Che vuol dire Allah con tale illustrazione?» Così Allah condanna a deviare chi Gli piace e guida chi Gli piace. E nessuno conosce le schiere del Signore, tranne Lui. E questo non è che un monito per l'uomo.
Spanish
Y sólo hemos hecho guardianes del Fuego a los ángeles. No hemos fijado su número sino como prueba para los incrédulos; para que aquellos a quienes se ha dado el Libro, alcancen la certeza; para que los creyentes aumenten en su fe; para que los que han recibido el Libro y también los creyentes no duden y para que los de corazón enfermo y los incrédulos digan: “¿Qué quiere decir Al-lah con este ejemplo?”. Así juzga Al-lah como extraviados a quienes Le place y guía a quienes Le agrada. Pues nadie conoce los ejércitos de tu Señor fuera de Él. Y esto no es más que un Recordatorio para el hombre.

اور دوزخ کے داروغے ہم نے صرف فرشتوں[2] میں سے مقرر کیے ہیں اور ان کی گنتی صرف کافروں کی آزمائش کے طور پر بتائی ہے اور اس کا یہ نتیجہ نکلے گا کہ اہل کتاب کو یقین آجائے گا اور مومن ایمان میں زیادہ ہو جائیں گے اور نہ اہل کتاب شبہ کریں گے اور نہ مومن۔ نتیجہ یہ ہوگا کہ جن کے دلوں میں بیماری ہے وہ اور دوسرے کافر کہیں گے کہ اس بات کے کہنے سے اللہ کا کیا منشا ہے۔ اسی طرح اللہ اسے گمراہ قرار دیتا ہے جس کے متعلق ارادہ کر لیتا ہے اور جس کے متعلق ارادہ کر لیتا ہے اسے ہدایت دے دیتا ہے اور تیرے رب کے لشکروں کو سوائے اس کے کوئی نہیں جانتا۔ اور یہ (قرآن) انسان کے لئے صرف ایک نصیحت ہے۔
اس کا یہ مطلب ہے کہ دوزخ میں رکھنے کا اصل موجب تو فرشتے ہوں گے کیونکہ اتنے لوگوں کو روکنے کی طاقت فرشتوں کو ہی ہے۔ ہاں کبھی کبھی ملائکہ سے اپنی مشابہت بتا کر انسان بھی ان کا کام کرنے لگ جائیں گے۔

The apparently enigmatic "nineteen" may concern some great Divine design or purpose which, when unfolded, will, on the one hand, greatly add to the faith of the believers and, on the other, to the embarrassment and mental confusion of the disbelievers and of "those in whose heart is disease." Otherwise the number of God’s angels is legion, beyond human count or computation, just as the stages of man’s spiritual progress in the Hereafter are number-less.

English - Sahih
And We have not made the keepers of the Fire except angels. And We have not made their number except as a trial for those who disbelieve - that those who were given the Scripture will be convinced and those who have believed will increase in faith and those who were given the Scripture and the believers will not doubt and that those in whose hearts is hypocrisy and the disbelievers will say, "What does Allah intend by this as an example?" Thus does Allah leave astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And none knows the soldiers of your Lord except Him. And mention of the Fire is not but a reminder to humanity.

We have appointed only angels to be masters of the Fire, and their number We have appointed only as a trial for the unbelievers, that those who were given the Book may have certainty, and that those who believe may increase in belief, and that those who were given the Book and those who believe may not be in-doubt, and that those in whose hearts there is sickness, and the unbelievers, may say, 'What did God intend by this as a similitude?'

We have appointed none but angels as the keepers of the Fire, and We have not made their number but as a trial for the unbelievers so that those who have been endowed with the Book will be convinced and the believers' faith will increase, and neither those who have been endowed with the Book nor the believers will fall into any doubt. As for those in whose hearts there is a sickness as well as the unbelievers, they will say: “What did Allah aim at by this strange parable?” Thus does Allah let whomsoever He pleases to go astray, and directs whomsoever He pleases to the Right Way. And none knows the hosts of your Lord but He. (And Hell has only been mentioned here) that people may take heed.
English - Ahmed Ali
We have not appointed any one but angels as keepers of Hell, and their number that We have fixed is to make it a means of contention for disbelievers, so that those who were given the Book may be certain, and the faith of the believers may have greater increase, and the people of the Book and believers may not be deceived, and the sceptics and infidels may say: "What does God mean by this parable?" That is how God leads whosoever He will astray, and guides whosoever He will. None knows the armies of your Lord save Him self. This is no more than reminder for mankind.
English - Yusuf Ali
And We have set none but angels as Guardians of the Fire; and We have fixed their number only as a trial for Unbelievers,- in order that the People of the Book may arrive at certainty, and the Believers may increase in Faith,- and that no doubts may be left for the People of the Book and the Believers, and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the Unbelievers may say, "What symbol doth Allah intend by this?" Thus doth Allah leave to stray whom He pleaseth, and guide whom He pleaseth: and none can know the forces of thy Lord, except He and this is no other than a warning to mankind.
