慈悲あまねく慈愛深きアッラーの御名において。
Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
1. ハー・ミーム。
HaMim. [These letters are one of the miracles of the Quran, and none but Allah (Alone) knows their meanings.]
2. （これは）慈悲あまねく慈愛ぶかき御方からの啓示である。
A revelation from Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
3. 印が詳細に解明された啓典，理解ある民へのアラビア語のクルアーンで，
A Book whereof the Verses are explained in detail; A Quran in Arabic for people who know.
4. 吉報と警告（を伝えるもの）である。だがかれらの多くは，背き去って聞こうとはしない。
Giving glad tidings [of Paradise to the one who believes in the Oneness of Allah (i.e. Islamic Monotheism) and fears Allah much (abstains from all kinds of sins and evil deeds) and loves Allah much (performing all kinds of good deeds which He has ordained)], and warning (of punishment in the Hell Fire to the one who disbelieves in the Oneness of Allah), but most of them turn away, so they listen not.
5. そしてかれらは言う。「わたしたちの心には，あなたが招くことに覆いがかけられている。またわたしたちの耳は遠く，しかもわたしたちとあなたの間には，幕がかかっている。それであなたは自分の（望みの）ことを行え。わたしたちも自分の（望みの）ことを行う。」
And they say: "Our hearts are under coverings (screened) from that to which you invite us, and in our ears is deafness, and between us and you is a screen, so work you (on your way); verily, we are working (on our way)."
6. 言ってやるがいい。「わたしは，あなたがたと同じ人間に過ぎない。唯，あなたがたの神は，唯一の神であることがわたしに啓示された。それでかれに向かって真直ぐに傾倒し，かれの御赦しを祈りなさい。多神教徒こそ災いであり，
Say (O Muhammad SAW): "I am only a human being like you. It is inspired in me that your Ilah (God) is One Ilah (God - Allah), therefore take Straight Path to Him (with true Faith Islamic Monotheism) and obedience to Him, and seek forgiveness of Him. And woe to Al-Mushrikun (the disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, polytheists, idolaters, etc. - see V.2:105).
7. そのような者が喜捨を行わず来世を否定する者である。
Those who give not the Zakat and they are disbelievers in the Hereafter.
8. 本当に信仰して善行に勤しむ者には，尽きることのない報奨がある。」
Truly, those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism, and in His Messenger Muhammad SAW) and do righteous good deeds, for them will be an endless reward that will never stop (i.e. Paradise).
9. 言ってやるがいい。「あなたがたは，2日間で大地を創られたかれを，どうして信じないのか。しかもかれに同位者を立てるのか。かれこそは，万有の主であられる。
Say (O Muhammad SAW): "Do you verily disbelieve in Him Who created the earth in two Days and you set up rivals (in worship) with Him? That is the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists).
10. かれは，そこに（山々を）どっしりと置いて大地を祝福なされ，更に4日間で，その中の凡ての（御恵みを）求めるもの（の必要）に応じて，御恵みを規定なされた。
He placed therein (i.e. the earth) firm mountains from above it, and He blessed it, and measured therein its sustenance (for its dwellers) in four Days equal (i.e. all these four 'days' were equal in the length of time), for all those who ask (about its creation).
11. それからまだ煙（のよう）であった天に転じられた。そして天と地に向かって，『両者は，好むと好まざるとに関わらず，われに来たれ。」と仰せられた。天地は（答えて），『わたしたちは喜こんで参上します。』と申し上げた。
Then He Istawa (rose over) towards the heaven when it was smoke, and said to it and to the earth: "Come both of you willingly or unwillingly." They both said: "We come, willingly."
12. そこでかれは，2日の間に7層の天を完成なされた。そしてそれぞれの天に命令を下し，（大地に）近い天を，われは照明で飾り，守護した。これは，偉力ならびなく全知なる御方の摂理である。」
Then He completed and finished from their creation (as) seven heavens in two Days and He made in each heaven its affair. And We adorned the nearest (lowest) heaven with lamps (stars) to be an adornment as well as to guard (from the devils by using them as missiles against the devils). Such is the Decree of Him the All-Mighty, the All-Knower.
13. それでもかれらが，背き去るならば言ってやるがいい。「あなたがたに，アードとサムードの（被った）落雷のような災難を警告する。」
But if they turn away, then say (O Muhammad SAW): "I have warned you of a Sa'iqah (a destructive awful cry, torment, hit, a thunderbolt) like the Sa'iqah which overtook 'Ad and Thamud (people)."
14. 使徒たちが，かれらの前からまた後ろからかれらのところにやって来て，「アッラーの外何ものにも仕えてはならない。」と告げた時のことを思い起こせ。かれらは言った。「わたしたちの主の御望みならば，必ず天使を御遣わしになるはずである。だからあなたがたが持って来たもの（啓示）をわたしたちが信じるわけがない。」
When the Messengers came to them, from before them and behind them (saying): "Worship none but Allah" They said: "If our Lord had so willed, He would surely have sent down the angels. So indeed! We disbelieve in that with which you have been sent."
15. アード（の民）に就いては，正当な拠り処もないのに地上で高慢になり，「誰が，わたしたちよりも力が強いのでしょうか。」などと言った。かれらを創られたアッラーこそ，力が強いということを考えないのか。しかもわれの印を拒否するとは。
As for 'Ad, they were arrogant in the land without right, and they said: "Who is mightier than us in strength?" See they not that Allah, Who created them was mightier in strength than them. And they used to deny Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, revelations, etc.)!
16. だからわれは，災厄の数日間に亘り，暴風雨をかれらに送って，現世において屈辱の懲罰を味わせた。だが来世の懲罰は更に屈辱を与え，誰にもかれらは助けられない。
So We sent upon them furious wind in days of evil omen (for them) that We might give them a taste of disgracing torment in this present worldly life, but surely the torment of the Hereafter will be more disgracing, and they will never be helped.
17. またわれはサムード（の民）を，導いた。だがかれらは導きよりも，盲目の方を良いとした。それで，かれらが稼いでいた（行いの）ために，不面目な懲罰の落雷がかれらを襲った。
And as for Thamud, We showed and made clear to them the Path of Truth (Islamic Monotheism) through Our Messenger, (i.e. showed them the way of success), but they preferred blindness to guidance, so the Sa'iqah (a destructive awful cry, torment, hit, a thunderbolt) of disgracing torment seized them, because of what they used to earn.
18. だが，われは信仰し主を畏れる者は救った。
And We saved those who believed and used to fear Allah, keep their duty to Him and avoid evil.
19. その日，アッラーの敵は集められ，火獄への列に連らなる。
And (remember) the Day that the enemies of Allah will be gathered to the Fire, so they will be collected there (the first and the last).
20. かれらが（審判の席）に来ると，その耳や目や皮膚は，かれらの行ってきたことを，かれらの意に背いて証言する。
Till, when they reach it (Hell-fire), their hearing (ears) and their eyes, and their skins will testify against them as to what they used to do.
21. するとかれらは，（自分の）皮膚に向かって言う。「あなたがたは何故わたしたちに背いて，証言をするのですか。」それらは（答えて）「凡てのものに語らせられるようにされたアッラーが，わたしたちに語らせられます。かれは最初にあなたがたを創り，そしてかれの御許に帰らせられます。」と言う。
And they will say to their skins, "Why do you testify against us?" They will say: "Allah has caused us to speak, as He causes all things to speak, and He created you the first time, and to Him you are made to return."
22. また，「あなたがたは，自分の耳や目や皮膚が，あなたがたに背くような証言など出来ない（と思い）。自分を庇うこともしなかった。寧あなたがたは自分の行っていたことなど，アッラーが沢山知っておられる訳がないと，考えていた。
And you have not been hiding against yourselves, lest your ears, and your eyes, and your skins testify against you, but you thought that Allah knew not much of what you were doing.
23. だが，あなたがたの主に就いて考えたこのことが，あなたがたを破滅に落し入れ，失敗の原因となった。」
And that thought of yours which you thought about your Lord, has brought you to destruction, and you have become (this Day) of those utterly lost!
24. それでかれらが例え耐え忍んでも，業火はかれらの住まいであり，例え御情けを願っても，慈悲にあずかれない。
Then, if they have patience, yet the Fire will be a home for them, and if they beg for to be excused, yet they are not of those who will ever be excused.
25. われは，かれらに（は立派に見える）仲間（の悪魔）を宛てがって置いた。それでかれら以前のことも，以後のことも，かれらに取っては立派に思われた。そしてかれら以前に過ぎ去ったジンと人間の，諸世代に下された言葉通りのことが，かれらに実証された。かれらは完全な敗北者となった。
And We have assigned them (devils) intimate companions (in this world), who have made fair-seeming to them, what was before them (evil deeds which they were doing in the present worldly life and disbelief in the Reckoning and the Resurrection, etc.) and what was behind them (denial of the matters in the coming life of the Hereafter as regards punishment or reward, etc.). And the Word (i.e. the torment) is justified against them as it was justified against those who were among the previous generations of jinns and men that had passed away before them. Indeed they (all) were the losers.
26. 信じない者は言う。「クルアーンに耳を傾けてはなりません。そしてその（読誦）中にしゃべりまくりなさい。そうすればあなたがたは圧倒出来ます。」
And those who disbelieve say: "Listen not to this Quran, and make noise in the midst of its (recitation) that you may overcome."
27. そこでわれは，不信心な者に強い懲罰を味わせ，かれらの最も醜悪な行いに応報する。
But surely, We shall cause those who disbelieve to taste a severe torment, and certainly, We shall requite them the worst of what they used to do.
28. それはアッラーの敵への報酬，業火である。その中が，かれらのための永遠の住まいである。わが印を拒否していたことに対する報酬である。
That is the recompense of the enemies of Allah: The Fire, therein will be for them the eternal home, a (deserving) recompense for that they used to deny Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.).
29. すると不信心の者は，「主よ，ジンと人間の中でわたしたちを迷わせた者に，会わせて下さい。足の下に踏みつけて，最も卑しい者にしてやります。」と言う。
And those who disbelieve will say: "Our Lord! Show us those among jinns and men who led us astray, we shall crush them under our feet, so that they become the lowest."
30. 本当に，「わたしたちの主は，アッラーであられる。」と言って，その後正しくしっかりと立つ者，かれらには，（次から次に）天使が下り，「恐れてはならない。また憂いてはならない。あなたがたに約束されている楽園への吉報を受け取りなさい。（と言うのである）。
Verily, those who say: "Our Lord is Allah (Alone)," and then they Istaqamu , on them the angels will descend (at the time of their death) (saying): "Fear not, nor grieve! But receive the glad tidings of Paradise which you have been promised!
31. われは現世の生活においても，また来世においても，あなたがたの友である。そこではあなたがたの魂は望むものを得，そこではあなたがたの求めるものが得られる。
"We have been your friends in the life of this world and are (so) in the Hereafter. Therein you shall have (all) that your inner-selves desire, and therein you shall have (all) for which you ask for.
32. 寛容にして慈悲深い御方からの歓待である。」
"An entertainment from (Allah), the Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
33. 人びとをアッラーの許に呼び，善行をなし，「本当にわたしは，ムスリムです。」と言う者程美しい言葉を語る者があろうか。
And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."
34. 善と悪とは同じではない。（人が悪をしかけても）一層善行で悪を追い払え。そうすれば，互いの間に敵意ある者でも，親しい友のようになる。
The good deed and the evil deed cannot be equal. Repel (the evil) with one which is better (i.e. Allah ordered the faithful believers to be patient at the time of anger, and to excuse those who treat them badly), then verily! he, between whom and you there was enmity, (will become) as though he was a close friend.
35. だがよく耐え忍ぶ者たちの外には，それは成し遂げられないであろう。格別幸運な者たちの外には，それを成し遂げられないのである。
But none is granted it (the above quality) except those who are patient, and none is granted it except the owner of the great portion (of the happiness in the Hereafter i.e. Paradise and in this world of a high moral character).
36. それからもし，悪魔の扇動が，あなたを唆かしたならば（どんな場合でも）アッラーの御加護を祈れ。本当にかれは全聴にして全知であられる。
And if an evil whisper from Shaitan (Satan) tries to turn you away (O Muhammad SAW) (from doing good, etc.), then seek refuge in Allah. Verily, He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower.
37. 夜と昼，また太陽と月は，かれの印の中である。それで太陽にも月にもサジダするようなことをしてはならない。それら（両方）を創られた，アッラーにサジダしなさい。あなたがたが仕えるのなら，かれにこそ仕えなさい。
And from among His Signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. Prostrate not to the sun nor to the moon, but prostrate to Allah Who created them, if you (really) worship Him.
38. もしもかれら（不信心者）が高慢で（主に仕えることを侮って）も，主の御許にいる者たちは，夜も昼もかれを讃え，弛むことをしらない。〔サジダ〕
But if they are too proud (to do so), then there are those who are with your Lord (angels) glorify Him night and day, and never are they tired.
39. かれの印の一つを，あなたは荒れ果てた大地に見る。われがその上に雨を降らせると，動きだし，盛り上がる。本当にそれに生命を与えられた方は，まさに死者を甦らせられる方である。かれは，凡ゆることに全能である。
And among His Signs (in this), that you see the earth barren, but when We send down water (rain) to it, it is stirred to life and growth (of vegetations). Verily, He Who gives it life, surely, (He) is Able to give life to the dead (on the Day of Resurrection). Indeed! He is Able to do all things.
40. わが印の曲解者は，われから隠れられない。火獄に投げ込まれる者となるのがよいのか，それとも審判の日に安心して来られる者となるのがよいのか。あなたがたが好む通りに行いなさい。本当にかれは，あなたがたの行うことを見守られる。
Verily, those who turn away from Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc. by attacking, distorting and denying them), are not hidden from Us. Is he who is cast into the Fire better or he who comes secure on the Day of Resurrection? Do what you will. Verily! He is All-Seer of what you do (this is a severe threat to the disbelievers).
41. 訓戒（クルアーン）がかれらのもとに来た時，それを拒否した者は（われから隠れられない）。本当にそれは偉大な啓典であり，
Verily, those who disbelieved in the Reminder (i.e. the Quran) when it came to them (shall receive the punishment). And verily, it is an honourable respected Book (because it is Allah's Speech, and He has protected it from corruption, etc.). (See V.15:9]
42. 虚偽は，前からも後ろからも，近付ことは出来ない。これは，英明で讃美すべき方からの啓示である。
Falsehood cannot come to it from before it or behind it (it is) sent down by the All-Wise, Worthy of all praise (Allah ÚÒ æ Ìá).
43. あなたが不信者に言われていることは，あなた以前の使徒たちが言われたことと同じである。本当にあなたの主は，寛容の主であり，また厳罰の主であられる。
Nothing is said to you (O Muhammad SAW) except what was said to the Messengers before you. Verily, your Lord is the Possessor of forgiveness, and (also) the Possessor of painful punishment.
44. われがクルアーンを外国語で下したならば，かれらはきっと，「この印は，どうしてはっきり述べられないのでしょう。何と，アラビア人（の使徒）に外国語（の啓示）なのですか。」と言う。言ってやるがいい。「それは信仰する者にとっては導きであり，治療である。だが信じない者は，その耳が鈍くなり，またそれが（分らず）盲目である。かれらは，遠い所から呼びかけられる（ようなも）のである。」
And if We had sent this as a Quran in a foreign language other than Arabic, they would have said: "Why are not its Verses explained in detail (in our language)? What! (A Book) not in Arabic and (the Messenger) an Arab?" Say: "It is for those who believe, a guide and a healing. And as for those who disbelieve, there is heaviness (deafness) in their ears, and it (the Quran) is blindness for them. They are those who are called from a place far away (so they neither listen nor understand).
45. われは確かにムーサーに啓典を授けたのだが，それに就いて異論が起こった。もし主から（審判の時に就いて）前もって，御言葉が下っていなかったならば，その時かれらの間は解決されていたであろう。だがかれらはまだ疑いを抱き半信半疑でいる。
And indeed We gave Musa (Moses) the Scripture, but dispute arose therein. And had it not been for a Word that went forth before from your Lord, (the torment would have overtaken them) and the matter would have been settled between them. But truly, they are in grave doubt thereto (i.e. about the Quran). [Tafsir Al-Qurtubi, Vol. 15, Page 370]
46. 善行をなす者は自分を益し，悪行をなす者は自分を損なう。あなたがたの主は，そのしもべを不正に取り扱われない。
Whosoever does righteous good deed it is for (the benefit of) his ownself, and whosoever does evil, it is against his ownself, and your Lord is not at all unjust to (His) slaves.
47. （審判の）時に関する知識は，かれだけが知るところ。かれが知らずに，一つの果実も，その外皮から出てくるものではない。また女や雌が子を宿すことも分娩することもない。その日，かれらに尋ねられる。「われの同僚とやら（の偶像たち）は，何処にいるのか。」かれらは申し上げよう。「あなたに御伝えします。わたしたちの中には一人の証人もおりません。」
(The learned men) refer to Him (Alone) the knowledge of the Hour. No fruit comes out of its sheath, nor does a female conceive (within her womb), nor brings forth (young), except by His Knowledge. And on the Day when He will call unto them (polytheists) (saying): "Where are My (so-called) partners (whom you did invent)?" They will say: "We inform You that none of us bears witness to it (that they are Your partners)!"
48. かれらが先に拝していたものたちは，かれらを捨てて隠れてしまい，そこでかれらは，逃げ場もないことが分る。
And those whom they used to invoke before will fail them, and they will perceive that they have no place of refuge (from Allah's punishment).
49. 人間は幸福を祈って，疲れることをしらない。だが不幸に見舞われると，落胆し絶望してしまう。
Man (the disbeliever) does not get tired of asking good (things from Allah), but if an evil touches him, then he gives up all hope and is lost in despair.
50. 災厄にあった後われの慈悲に浴させると，かれは必ず，「これはわたし（の力）には当然のことです。（審判の）時が，来るとは考えられません。また主に帰されても，わたしはかれの御許で，褒美をもらいます。」と言う。だがわれはこれら不信心の者に対し，その行ったことを示し，必ず手荒い懲罰を味わせる。
And truly, if We give him a taste of mercy from us, after some adversity (severe poverty or disease, etc.) has touched him, he is sure to say: "This is for me (due to my merit), I think not that the Hour will be established. But if I am brought back to my Lord, Surely, there will be for me the best (wealth, etc.) with Him. Then, We verily, will show to the disbelievers what they have done and We shall make them taste a severe torment.
51. われが人間に恩恵を示せば，かれは脇を向いて，（われに近付かず反って）退き去る。だが一度災厄に会えば長々と十分に祈る。
And when We show favour to man, he withdraws and turns away, but when evil touches him, then he has recourse to long supplications.
52. 言ってやるがいい。「あなたがたは考えないのか。もしそれが，（本当に）アッラーから（下された）ものであっても，あなたがたは信じないのか。遠く離れ去って分裂する者ほど，酷く迷った者が（外に）あろうか。」
Say: "Tell me, if it (the Quran) is from Allah, and you disbelieve in it, who is more astray than one who is in opposition far away (from Allah's Right Path and His obedience).
53. われは，わが印が真理であることが，かれらに明白になるまで，（遠い）空の彼方において，またかれら自身の中において（示す）。本当にあなたがたの主は，凡てのことの立証者であられる。そのことだけでも十分ではないか。
We will show them Our Signs in the universe, and in their ownselves, until it becomes manifest to them that this (the Quran) is the truth. Is it not sufficient in regard to your Lord that He is a Witness over all things?
54. ああ，かれらは主との会見に就いて疑っているのか。本当にかれこそは，凡てのものを取り囲む方であるのに。
Verily! They are in doubt concerning the Meeting with their Lord? (i.e. Resurrection after their deaths, and their return to their Lord). Verily! He it is Who is surrounding all things!
