スーラ
この章について
メッカ期に啓示されたスーラに分類されます。不信仰者に必ず降りかかる懲罰について尋ねる者がいたことから始まり、その懲罰は昇り階段の主である神から来るものであり、天使たちと霊は五万年に相当する一日のうちに神のもとへ昇ると述べます。使徒に忍耐を促した後、天が溶けた金属のようになり、山々が羊毛の房のようになる日を描き、その日、罪深い者は自分の身を贖うために子どもも妻も兄弟も一族も差し出そうとすると述べます。続いて、人間はもともと不安に駆られやすく、困難に遭えば耐えきれず、恵まれたときには物惜しみをするものだと指摘しますが、絶えず礼拝する者、財産のうち定まった分を困窮者のために取り分ける者、貞節を守る者、託されたものと約束を守る者は例外であるとし、これらの資質を詳しく列挙します。最後に、人々が墓から急ぎ出てくる日について警告して締めくくります。
- 昇り階段の主
- 五万年に相当する日
- 人間の不安と貪欲
- 礼拝する者の資質

-
1
A questioner asked about a punishment bound to befall
-
2
the disbelievers, which none can repel,
-
3
from God, Owner of the ways of ascent.
-
4
The angels and the Spirit ascend to Him in a Day whose measure is fifty thousand years.
-
5
So be patient with a beautiful patience.
-
6
Indeed they see it as far off,
-
7
but We see it as near.
-
8
On the Day the sky will be like molten metal,
-
9
and the mountains will be like tufts of wool,
-
10
and no devoted friend will ask about a friend,
-
11
though they will be shown each other. The wicked one will wish that he could ransom himself from the punishment of that Day with his children,
-
12
and his wife and his brother,
-
13
and his clan that sheltered him,
-
14
and all who are on the earth — so that it might then save him.
-
15
By no means! Indeed it is a raging flame,
-
16
stripping away the scalp,
-
17
calling whoever turned his back and turned away,
-
18
and gathered [wealth] and hoarded it.
-
19
Indeed man was created anxious:
-
20
when evil touches him, impatient,
-
21
and when good touches him, withholding,
-
22
except those who pray,
-
23
those who are constant in their prayer,
-
24
and those in whose wealth there is a known right
-
25
for the one who asks and the one who is deprived,
-
26
and those who affirm the Day of Judgement,
-
27
and who are in dread of their Lord's punishment —
-
28
indeed the punishment of their Lord is not to be felt secure from —
-
29
and those who guard their private parts,
-
30
except from their wives or those whom their right hands possess, for then they are not to be blamed —
-
31
but whoever seeks beyond that, they are the transgressors —
-
32
and those who are faithful to their trusts and their promises,
-
33
and those who stand firm in their testimonies,
-
34
and those who carefully maintain their prayer.
-
35
They will be in Gardens, honoured.
-
36
So what is the matter with those who disbelieve, rushing toward you,
-
37
from the right and from the left, in groups?
-
38
Does every one of them hope to be admitted into a Garden of Bliss?
-
39
By no means! Indeed We created them from what they know.
-
40
Nay, I swear by the Lord of the places of sunrise and sunset that We certainly have the power
-
41
to replace them with better than them, and We are not to be outrun.
-
42
So leave them to indulge in idle talk and amuse themselves until they meet their Day which they are promised —
-
43
the Day they will come out of the graves rapidly, as if they were racing toward a set target,
-
44
their eyes downcast, humiliation covering them. That is the Day which they had been promised.
