قَالَ He said qāla O yāayyuhā chiefs l-mala-u Which of you ayyukum will bring me yatīnī her throne biʿarshihā before qabla that an they come to me yatūnī (in) submission mus'limīna
[Solomon] said, "O assembly [of jinn], which of you will bring me her throne before they come to me in submission?"
قَالَ Said qāla a strong one ʿif'rītun of mina the jinn l-jini I anā will bring it to you ātīka will bring it to you bihi before qabla [that] an you rise taqūma from min your place maqāmika And indeed, I am wa-innī for it ʿalayhi surely, strong laqawiyyun trustworthy amīnun
A powerful one from among the jinn said, "I will bring it to you before you rise from your place, and indeed, I am for this [task] strong and trustworthy."
قَالَ Said qāla one who alladhī with him ʿindahu (was) knowledge ʿil'mun of mina the Scripture l-kitābi I anā will bring it to you ātīka will bring it to you bihi before qabla [that] an returns yartadda to you ilayka your glance ṭarfuka Then when falammā he saw it raāhu placed mus'taqirran before him ʿindahu he said qāla This hādhā (is) from min (the) Favor faḍli (of) my Lord rabbī to test me liyabluwanī whether I am grateful a-ashkuru or am I am ungrateful akfuru And whoever waman (is) grateful shakara then only fa-innamā he is grateful yashkuru for his own soul linafsihi And whoever waman (is) ungrateful kafara then indeed fa-inna my Lord rabbī (is) Self-sufficient ghaniyyun Noble karīmun
Said one who had knowledge from the Scripture, "I will bring it to you before your glance returns to you." And when [Solomon] saw it placed before him, he said, "This is from the favor of my Lord to test me whether I will be grateful or ungrateful. And whoever is grateful - his gratitude is only for [the benefit of] himself. And whoever is ungrateful - then indeed, my Lord is Free of need and Generous."
