وَإِذْ And when wa-idh said qāla your Lord rabbuka to the angels lil'malāikati Indeed, I (am) innī going to place jāʿilun in fī the earth l-arḍi a vicegerent khalīfatan they said qālū Will You place atajʿalu in it fīhā (one) who man will spread corruption yuf'sidu in it fīhā and will shed wayasfiku [the] blood[s] l-dimāa while we wanaḥnu [we] glorify (You) nusabbiḥu with Your praises biḥamdika and we sanctify wanuqaddisu [to] You laka He said qāla Indeed, I innī [I] know aʿlamu what mā not lā you know taʿlamūna
And [mention, O Muḥammad], when your Lord said to the angels, "Indeed, I will make upon the earth a successive authority."1 They said, "Will You place upon it one who causes corruption therein and sheds blood, while we exalt You with praise and declare Your perfection?"2 He [Allāh] said, "Indeed, I know that which you do not know."
وَعَلَّمَ And He taught waʿallama Adam ādama the names l-asmāa all of them kullahā Then thumma He displayed them ʿaraḍahum to ʿalā the angels l-malāikati then He said faqāla Inform Me anbiūnī of (the) names bi-asmāi (of) these hāulāi if in you are kuntum truthful ṣādiqīna
And He taught Adam the names - all of them. Then He showed them to the angels and said, "Inform Me of the names of these, if you are truthful."
قَالُوا۟ They said qālū Glory be to You sub'ḥānaka No lā knowledge ʿil'ma (is) for us lanā except illā what mā You have taught us ʿallamtanā Indeed You innaka You anta (are) the All-Knowing l-ʿalīmu the All-Wise l-ḥakīmu
They said, "Exalted are You; we have no knowledge except what You have taught us. Indeed, it is You who is the Knowing,1 the Wise."2
قَالَ He said qāla O Adam yāādamu Inform them anbi'hum of their names bi-asmāihim And when falammā he had informed them anba-ahum of their names bi-asmāihim He said qāla Did not alam I say aqul to you lakum Indeed, I innī [I] know aʿlamu (the) unseen ghayba (of) the heavens l-samāwāti and the earth wal-arḍi and I know wa-aʿlamu what mā you reveal tub'dūna and what wamā you [were] kuntum conceal taktumūna
He said, "O Adam, inform them of their names." And when he had informed them of their names, He said, "Did I not tell you that I know the unseen [aspects] of the heavens and the earth? And I know what you reveal and what you have concealed."
وَإِذْ And when wa-idh We said qul'nā to the angels lil'malāikati Prostrate us'judū to Adam liādama [so] they prostrated fasajadū except illā Iblis ib'līsa He refused abā and was arrogant wa-is'takbara and became wakāna of mina the disbelievers l-kāfirīna
And [mention] when We said to the angels, "Prostrate before Adam"; so they prostrated, except for Iblees.1 He refused and was arrogant and became of the disbelievers.
وَقُلْنَا And We said waqul'nā O Adam yāādamu Dwell us'kun you anta and your spouse wazawjuka (in) Paradise l-janata and [you both] eat wakulā from it min'hā freely raghadan (from) wherever ḥaythu you [both] wish shi'tumā But do not walā [you two] approach taqrabā this hādhihi [the] tree l-shajarata lest you [both] be fatakūnā of mina the wrongdoers l-ẓālimīna
And We said, "O Adam, dwell, you and your wife, in Paradise and eat therefrom in [ease and] abundance from wherever you will. But do not approach this tree, lest you be among the wrongdoers."
فَأَزَلَّهُمَا Then made [both of] them slip fa-azallahumā the Shaitaan l-shayṭānu from it ʿanhā and he got [both of] them out fa-akhrajahumā from what mimmā they [both] were kānā in [it] fīhi And We said waqul'nā Go down (all of you) ih'biṭū some of you baʿḍukum to others libaʿḍin (as) enemy ʿaduwwun and for you walakum in fī the earth l-arḍi (is) a dwelling place mus'taqarrun and a provision wamatāʿun for ilā a period ḥīnin
But Satan caused them to slip out of it and removed them from that [condition] in which they had been. And We said, "Go down, [all of you], as enemies to one another, and you will have upon the earth a place of settlement and provision for a time."
فَتَلَقَّىٰٓ Then received fatalaqqā Adam ādamu from min his Lord rabbihi words kalimātin So (his Lord) turned fatāba towards him ʿalayhi Indeed He innahu He huwa (is) the Oft-returning (to mercy) l-tawābu the Most Merciful l-raḥīmu
Then Adam received from his Lord [some] words,1 and He accepted his repentance. Indeed, it is He who is the Accepting of Repentance,2 the Merciful.
