Revealed At: MAKKA
這章是麥加的，全章共計四三節。

In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Ever Merciful.
奉至仁永慈的安拉之名

013.001
Alif Lam Mim Ra. These are the verses of the Book; and that which is revealed to you from your Lord is the truth, but most people do not believe.
艾列弗，倆目，米目，拉儀。這些是天經的節文。從你的主降示於你的經典，確是真實的，但眾人大半不信。

013.002
Allah is He Who raised the heavens without any pillars that you see, and He is firm in power and He made the sun and the moon subservient (to you); each one pursues its course to an appointed time; He regulates the affair, making clear the signs that you may be certain of meeting your Lord.
安拉建立諸天，而不用你們所能看見的支柱。隨後祂端坐在寶座上，制服日月，使其各自運行到一個定期。祂處理萬事，解釋蹟象，以便你們確信將與你們的主相會。

013.003
And He it is Who spread the earth and made in it firm mountains and rivers, and of all fruits He has made in it two kinds; He makes the night cover the day; most surely there are signs in this for a people who reflect.
祂展開大地，並在大地上安置許多山岳和河流，祂把每種果實造成兩性的，祂以黑夜覆蓋白晝。對於能思維的民眾，此中確有許多蹟象。

013.004
And in the earth there are tracts side by side and gardens of grapes and corn and palm trees having one root and (others) having distinct roots-- they are watered with one water, and We make some of them excel others in fruit; most surely there are signs in this for a people who understand.
大地上有許多鄰近的區域，有葡萄園，有莊稼，有椰棗樹，其中有二株同根生的，二株異根生的，（這些都是）用同樣的水灌溉的，我卻使這一部分果實比那一部分佳美。對於能理解的民眾，此中確有許多蹟象。

013.005
And if you would wonder, then wondrous is their saying: What! when we are dust, shall we then certainly be in a new creation? These are they who disbelieve in their Lord, and these have chains on their necks, and they are the inmates of the fire; in it they shall abide.
如果你感到驚訝，那末，他們的這句話才是奇怪的：「當我們變成為塵土的時候，我們必定要重新受造嗎？」這等人是不信他們的主的，這等人是要帶枷鎖的；這等人是居住火獄的，他們將永居其中。

013.006
And they ask you to hasten on the evil before the good, and indeed there have been exemplary punishments before them; and most surely your Lord is the Lord of forgiveness to people, notwithstanding their injustice; and most surely your Lord is severe in requiting (evil).
在恩惠降臨之前，他們要求你早日昭示懲罰。許多懲戒處罰在他們之前確已逝去了。眾人雖然不義，但你的主對於他們確是饒恕的。你的主的懲罰確是嚴厲的。

013.007
And those who disbelieve say: Why has not a sign been sent down upon him from his Lord? You are only a warner and (there is) a guide for every people.
不信道者說：「為甚麼沒有一種蹟象，從他的主降臨他呢？」你只是一個警告者，每個民族都有一個引導者。

013.008
Allah knows what every female bears, and that of which the wombs fall short of completion and that in which they increase; and there is a measure with Him of everything.
安拉知道每個女性的懷孕，和子宮的收縮和膨脹。在主那裡，萬物是各有定量的。

013.009
The knower of the unseen and the seen, the Great, the Most High.
祂是全知幽明的，是偉大的，是崇高的。

013.010
Alike (to Him) among you is he who conceals (his) words and he who speaks them openly, and he who hides himself by night and (who) goes forth by day.
你們中竊竊私語的，高談闊論的，隱藏在黑夜的，出現在白晝的，（在祂）看來都是一樣的。

013.011
For his sake there are angels following one another, before him and behind him, who guard him by Allah's commandment; surely Allah does not change the condition of a people until they change their own condition; and when Allah intends evil to a people, there is no averting it, and besides Him they have no protector.
每個人的前面和後面，都有許多接踵而來的天神，他們奉安拉的命令來監護他。安拉必定不變更任何民眾的情況，直到他們變更自己的情況。當安拉欲降災害於任何民眾的時候，那災害是不可抗拒的。除安拉外，他們絕無保佑者。

013.012
He it is Who shows you the lightning causing fear and hope and (Who) brings up the heavy cloud.
祂是以電光昭示你們，以引起你們的恐懼和希望，並興起密雲。

013.013
And the thunder declares His glory with His praise, and the angels too for awe of Him; and He sends the thunderbolts and smites with them whom He pleases, yet they dispute concerning Allah, and He is mighty in prowess.
雷霆在讚頌安拉超絕萬物，眾天神因為畏懼祂而讚頌祂。祂發出霹靂以擊殺他所意欲者。他們為主而爭論，而祂是有強大謀略的。

013.014
To Him is due the true prayer; and those whom they pray to besides Allah give them no answer, but (they are) like one who stretches forth his two hands towards water that it may reach his mouth, but it will not reach it; and the prayer of the unbelievers is only in error.
真實的祈禱只歸於祂，他們捨祂而祈禱的（偶像），一點也不能答應他們的祈求。但他們好像一個人，把兩隻手掌伸向水中，以便水達到他的口，其實，水絕不會達到他的口的。不信道者的祈禱，只在迷誤中。

013.015
And whoever is in the heavens and the earth makes obeisance to Allah only, willingly and unwillingly, and their shadows too at morn and eve.
凡在天地間的萬物，都順服地或勉強地為安拉而叩頭，他們的陰影也朝夕為祂而叩頭。

013.016
Say: Who is the Lord of the heavens and the earth?-- Say: Allah. Say: Do you take then besides Him guardians who do not control any profit or harm for themselves? Say: Are the blind and the seeing alike? Or can the darkness and the light be equal? Or have they set up with Allah associates who have created creation like His, so that what is created became confused to them? Say: Allah is the Creator of all things, and He is the One, the Supreme.
你說：「誰是天地的主？」你說：「安拉。」你說：「難道你們捨安拉而把那些不能自主禍福者當作保祐者嗎？」你說，「盲人與非盲人是一樣的嗎？黑暗與光明是一樣的嗎？」他們為安拉樹立了許多伙伴，難道那些伙伴能像安拉那樣創造萬物，以致他們分辨不出兩種創造嗎？你說：「安拉是萬物的創造者，祂確是獨一的，確是萬能的。」

013.017
He sends down water from the cloud, then watercourses flow (with water) according to their measure, and the torrent bears along the swelling foam, and from what they melt in the fire for the sake of making ornaments or apparatus arises a scum like it; thus does Allah compare truth and falsehood; then as for the scum, it passes away as a worthless thing; and as for that which profits the people, it tarries in the earth; thus does Allah set forth parables.
安拉從雲中降下雨水，一切溝壑就盡量流行。山洪載著浮渣——他們為制造首飾和器皿而熔化的金屬，也有同樣的浮渣。安拉如此闡明真偽——至於渣滓則被沖走，至於有益於人的東西則留存在地面上。安拉如此闡明許多比喻。

013.018
For those who respond to their Lord is good; and (as for) those who do not respond to Him, had they all that is in the earth and the like thereof with it they would certainly offer it for a ransom. (As for) those, an evil reckoning shall be theirs and their abode is hell, and evil is the resting-place.
已經答應安拉的人，將受極美的報酬；沒有答應主的人，假若天地上的一切鄙歸他們所有，再加上一倍，他們必定都用來做贖金。這等人將受嚴厲的清算，他們的歸宿是火獄，那床鋪真糟糕！

013.019
Is he then who knows that what has been revealed to you from your Lord is the truth like him who is blind? Only those possessed of understanding will mind,
從你的主降示你的，正是真理，難道認識這個道理者跟盲人是一樣的嗎？唯有理智者才能記住。

013.020
Those who fulfil the promise of Allah and do not break the covenant,
他們是實踐安拉的誓約而且不破壞盟約的。

013.021
And those who join that which Allah has bidden to be joined and have awe of their Lord and fear the evil reckoning.
他們是連結安拉命人連接者的，是敬愛他們的主，畏懼嚴厲的清算的。

013.022
And those who are constant, seeking the pleasure of their Lord, and keep up prayer and spend (benevolently) out of what We have given them secretly and openly and repel evil with good; as for those, they shall have the (happy) issue of the abode
他們是為求得主的喜悅而堅忍的，是謹守拜功的，是秘密地和公開地分捨我所賜給他們的財物的，是以德報怨的。這等人得吃後世的善果

013.023
The gardens of perpetual abode which they will enter along with those who do good from among their parents and their spouses and their offspring; and the angels will enter in upon them from every gate:
常住的樂園，他們將進入樂園。他們的祖先、妻子和後裔中的善良者，都將進入樂園。眾天神從每道門進去見他們，

013.024
Peace be on you because you were constant, how excellent, is then, the issue of the abode.
（說）：「祝你們平安！這是你們因堅忍而得的報酬，後世的善果真優美。」

013.025
And those who break the covenant of Allah after its confirmation and cut asunder that which Allah has ordered to be joined and make mischief in the land; (as for) those, upon them shall be curse and they shall have the evil (issue) of the abode.
與安拉締約，然後加以破壞的，斷絕安拉命人連結者的，在地方上進行破壞的，這等人將被詛咒，將吃後世的惡果。

013.026
Allah amplifies and straitens the means of subsistence for whom He pleases; and they rejoice in this world's life, and this world's life is nothing compared with the hereafter but a temporary enjoyment.
安拉使祂所意欲者享受寬裕的給養或窘迫的給養。他們因今世的生活而歡喜，然而今世的生活比起後世的生活來，只是一種（暫時）的享受。

013.027
And those who disbelieve say: Why is not a sign sent down upon him by his Lord? Say: Surely Allah makes him who will go astray, and guides to Himself those who turn (to Him).
不信道的人們說：「怎麼沒有一種蹟象從他的主降臨他呢？」你說：「安拉必定使祂所意欲者誤入迷途，必定使歸依祂的人走上正路。」

013.028
Those who believe and whose hearts are set at rest by the remembrance of Allah; now surely by Allah's remembrance are the hearts set at rest.
他們信道，他們的心境因記憶安拉而安靜，真的，一切心境因記憶安拉而安靜。

013.029
(As for) those who believe and do good, a good final state shall be theirs and a goodly return.
信道而且行善者，得享幸福和優美的歸宿。

013.030
And thus We have sent you among a nation before which other nations have passed away, that you might recite to them what We have revealed to you and (still) they deny the Beneficent Allah. Say: He is my Lord, there is no god but He; on Him do I rely and to Him is my return.
我這樣派遣你去教化一個民族，在他們之前有許多民族確已逝去了，以便你對他們宣讀我所啟示你的經典，他們是不信至仁主的。你說：「祂是我的主，除祂之外，絕無應受崇拜的。我只信托祂，我只以祂為依歸。」

013.031
And even if there were a Quran with which the mountains were made to pass away, or the earth were travelled over with it, or the dead were made to speak thereby; nay! the commandment is wholly Allah's, Have not yet those who believe known that if Allah please He would certainly guide all the people? And (as for) those who disbelieve, there will not cease to afflict them because of what they do a repelling calamity, or it will alight close by their abodes, until the promise of Allah comes about; surely Allah will not fail in (His) promise.
假若有一部《古蘭經》，可用來移動山岳，或破裂大地，或使死人說話，（他們必不信它）。不然，一切事情只歸安拉，難道信道的人們不知道嗎？假若安拉意欲，祂必引導全人類。不信道的人們還要因自己的行為而遭受災殃，或他們住宅的附近遭受災殃，直到安拉的應許到來。安拉確是不爽約的。

013.032
And messengers before you were certainly mocked at, but I gave respite to those who disbelieved, then I destroyed them; how then was My requital (of evil)?
在你之前，有許多使者確已被人嘲弄了，但我對不信道者緩刑。隨後，我懲治他們。我的懲罰是怎樣的呢？

013.033
Is He then Who watches every soul as to what it earns? And yet they give associates to Allah! Say: Give them a name; nay, do you mean to inform Him of what He does not know in the earth, or (do you affirm this) by an outward saying? Rather, their plans are made to appear fair-seeming to those who disbelieve, and they are kept back from the path; and whom Allah makes err, he shall have no guide.
監視每個靈魂的謀求者，難道像那不能監視的嗎？他們為安拉樹立了許多伙伴，你說：「你們指出他們的名稱吧。難道你們把安拉在大地上所不知道的告訴祂嗎？不然，你們據浮辭而稱他們為安拉的伙伴。」不然，不信道者，已為自己的計謀所迷惑了。他們被阻撓而不能入正道。安拉使誰迷誤，誰就沒有向導。

013.034
They shall have chastisement in this world's life, and the chastisement of the hereafter is certainly more grievous, and they shall have no protector against Allah.
他們在今世將受懲罰，後世的懲罰確是更嚴厲的。他們絕無任何保衛者以抗拒安拉。

013.035
A likeness of the garden which the righteous are promised; there now beneath it rivers, its food and shades are perpetual; this is the requital of those who guarded (against evil), and the requital of the unbelievers is the fire.
已應許敬畏者的樂園，其情狀是這樣的：那樂園下臨諸河，其中的果實是永恆的，其中的蔭影也是永恆的。這是敬畏者的果報；不信道者的果報是火獄。

013.036
And those to whom We have given the Book rejoice in that which has been revealed to you, and of the confederates are some who deny a part of it. Say: I am only commanded that I should serve Allah and not associate anything with Him, to Him do I invite (you) and to Him is my return.
蒙我賞賜經典的人喜歡降示給你的經典，同盟者當中，有人否認這經典的一部分。你說：「我只奉命崇拜安拉，而不以物配祂，我只號召人崇拜祂，我只歸依祂。」

013.037
And thus have We revealed it, a true judgment in Arabic, and if you follow their low desires after what has come to you of knowledge, you shall not have against Allah any guardian or a protector.
我這樣把它降示為阿拉伯文的智慧。在知識降臨你之後，如果你順從他們的欲望，那末，你對安拉的（懲罰）絕無任何保護者，也絕無任何保衛者。

013.038
And certainly We sent messengers before you and gave them wives and children, and it is not in (the power of) an messenger to bring a sign except by Allah's permission; for every term there is an appointment.
在你之前，我確已派遣了許多使者，並賞賜他們妻子和兒女。除非奉安拉的命令，任何使者不能昭示蹟象。每個期限，各有判定。

013.039
Allah makes to pass away and establishes what He pleases, and with Him is the basis of the Book.
安拉任意勾銷和確定（經典的明文），在祂那裡有天經的原本。

013.040
And We will either let you see part of what We threaten them with or cause you to die, for only the delivery of the message is (incumbent) on you, while calling (them) to account is Our (business).
如果我把我用來恫嚇他們的刑罰昭示你一點兒，（那會使你滿意），如果我使你壽終，那麼，你只負傳達的責任，我自負清算的責任。

013.041
Do they not see that We are bringing destruction upon the land by curtailing it of its sides? And Allah pronounces a doom-- there is no repeller of His decree, and He is swift to take account.
難道他們不知道嗎？我到他們的地方來縮小他們的邊境。安拉自由判決，任何人不能反抗其判決。祂是清算神速的。

013.042
And those before them did indeed make plans, but all planning is Allah's; He knows what every soul earns, and the unbelievers shall come to know for whom is the (better) issue of the abode.
在他們之前的人，確已使用計謀；但一切計謀，只歸安拉，祂知道每個靈魂的謀求。

013.043
And those who disbelieve say: You are not a messenger. Say: Allah is sufficient as a witness between me and you and whoever has knowledge of the Book.
不信道者將要知道，今世的善果將歸誰所有。不信道的人們說：「你不是使者。」你說：「安拉足以為我和你們之間的見証，認識天經的人也足以為我和你們之間的見証。」
