12. 69:12 لِنَجْعَلَهَا لَكُمْ تَذْكِرَةً وَتَعِيَهَآ أُذُنٌ وَٰعِيَةٌ so that we might make it a reminder for you, and that attentive ears might hold it.
13. 69:13 فَإِذَا نُفِخَ فِى ٱلصُّورِ نَفْخَةٌ وَٰحِدَةٌ When the trumpet is sounded with a single blast,

18. 69:18 يَوْمَئِذٍ تُعْرَضُونَ لَا تَخْفَىٰ مِنكُمْ خَافِيَةٌ On that day you will be brought forth, and nothing hidden in you will stay hidden.
19. 69:19 فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَـٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ فَيَقُولُ هَآؤُمُ ٱقْرَءُوا۟ كِتَـٰبِيَهْ As for the one given his record in his right hand, he will say, "Here, read my record!
20. 69:20 إِنِّى ظَنَنتُ أَنِّى مُلَـٰقٍ حِسَابِيَهْ I was certain I would meet my reckoning.
21. 69:21 فَهُوَ فِى عِيشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍ and so he will be in a life of contentment,
22. 69:22 فِى جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍ in a lofty garden,

34. 69:34 وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ and does not urge the feeding of the needy.
35. 69:35 فَلَيْسَ لَهُ ٱلْيَوْمَ هَـٰهُنَا حَمِيمٌ so today, here, he has no devoted friend,
36. 69:36 وَلَا طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِنْ غِسْلِينٍ and no food except the discharge of wounds,
37. 69:37 لَّا يَأْكُلُهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱلْخَـٰطِـُٔونَ which none but the sinners eat.
38. 69:38 فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِمَا تُبْصِرُونَ So I swear by what you see
39. 69:39 وَمَا لَا تُبْصِرُونَ and by what you do not see,
40. 69:40 إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ indeed, this is the speech of a noble messenger,
41. 69:41 وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَاعِرٍ ۚ قَلِيلًا مَّا تُؤْمِنُونَ It is not the speech of a poet — how little you believe!
42. 69:42 وَلَا بِقَوْلِ كَاهِنٍ ۚ قَلِيلًا مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ Nor the words of a soothsayer — how little you take heed.
43. 69:43 تَنزِيلٌ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ A revelation sent down from the Lord of all the worlds.
44. 69:44 وَلَوْ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَيْنَا بَعْضَ ٱلْأَقَاوِيلِ Had he attributed any false sayings to us,
45. 69:45 لَأَخَذْنَا مِنْهُ بِٱلْيَمِينِ we would have seized him by the right hand,
46. 69:46 ثُمَّ لَقَطَعْنَا مِنْهُ ٱلْوَتِينَ and then we would have severed his life-artery,
47. 69:47 فَمَا مِنكُم مِّنْ أَحَدٍ عَنْهُ حَـٰجِزِينَ and not one of you could have shielded him from us.
48. 69:48 وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَذْكِرَةٌ لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ And indeed, it is a reminder for those mindful of God.
49. 69:49 وَإِنَّا لَنَعْلَمُ أَنَّ مِنكُم مُّكَذِّبِينَ And indeed, we know that among you are those who deny it.
