1. |
Nay! I swear by this city.
|
|
2. |
And you shall be made free from obligation in this city--
|
|
3. |
And the begetter and whom he begot.
|
|
4. |
Certainly We have created man to be in distress.
|
|
5. |
Does he think that no one has power over him?
|
|
7. |
Does he think that no one sees him?
|
|
9. |
And a tongue and two lips,
|
|
10. |
And pointed out to him the two conspicuous ways?
|
|
11. |
But he would not attempt the uphill road,
|
|
12. |
And what will make you comprehend what the uphill road is?
|
|
13. |
(It is) the setting free of a slave,
|
|
14. |
Or the giving of food in a day of hunger
|
|
15. |
To an orphan, having relationship,
|
|
16. |
Or to the poor man lying in the dust.
|
|
17. |
Then he is of those who believe and charge one another to show patience, and charge one another to show compassion.
|
|
19. |
These are the people of the right hand.
|
|
20. |
On them is fire closed over.
