[69:9]

And Pharaoh and those before him, and the communities that were destroyed, brought error,

[69:10]

And they disobeyed the messenger of their Lord, therefor did He grip them with a tightening grip.

[69:11]

Lo! when the waters rose, We carried you upon the ship

[69:12]

That We might make it a memorial for you, and that remembering ears (that heard the story) might remember.

[69:13]

And when the trumpet shall sound one blast

[69:14]

And the earth with the mountains shall be lifted up and crushed with one crash,

[69:15]

Then, on that day will the Event befall.

[69:16]

And the heaven will split asunder, for that day it will be frail.

[69:17]

And the angels will be on the sides thereof, and eight will uphold the Throne of thy Lord that day, above them.

[69:18]

On that day ye will be exposed; not a secret of you will be hidden.

[69:19]

Then, as for him who is given his record in his right hand, he will say: Take, read my book!

[69:20]

Surely I knew that I should have to meet my reckoning.

[69:21]

Then he will be in blissful state

[69:22]

In a high garden

[69:23]

Whereof the clusters are in easy reach.

[69:24]

(And it will be said unto those therein): Eat and drink at ease for that which ye sent on before you in past days.

[69:25]

But as for him who is given his record in his left hand, he will say: Oh, would that I had not been given my book

[69:26]

And knew not what my reckoning!

[69:27]

Oh, would that it had been death!

[69:28]

My wealth hath not availed me,

[69:29]

My power hath gone from me.

[69:30]

(It will be said): Take him and fetter him

[69:31]

And then expose him to hell-fire

[69:32]

And then insert him in a chain whereof the length is seventy cubits.

[69:33]

Lo! He used not to believe in Allah the Tremendous,

[69:34]

And urged not on the feeding of the wretched.
