وَلِسُلَيْمَـٰنَ And to Sulaiman ٱلرِّيحَ the wind غُدُوُّهَا its morning course شَهْرٌۭ (was) a month وَرَوَاحُهَا and its afternoon course شَهْرٌۭ ۖ (was) a month وَأَسَلْنَا and We caused to flow لَهُۥ for him عَيْنَ a spring ٱلْقِطْرِ ۖ (of) molten copper وَمِنَ And [of] ٱلْجِنِّ the jinn مَن who يَعْمَلُ worked بَيْنَ before him يَدَيْهِ before him بِإِذْنِ by the permission رَبِّهِۦ ۖ (of) his Lord وَمَن And whoever يَزِغْ deviated مِنْهُمْ among them عَنْ from أَمْرِنَا Our Command نُذِقْهُ We will make him taste مِنْ of عَذَابِ (the) punishment ٱلسَّعِيرِ (of) the Blaze ١٢

يَعْمَلُونَ They worked لَهُۥ for him مَا what يَشَآءُ he willed مِن of مَّحَـٰرِيبَ elevated chambers وَتَمَـٰثِيلَ and statues وَجِفَانٍۢ and bowls كَٱلْجَوَابِ like reservoirs وَقُدُورٍۢ and cooking-pots رَّاسِيَـٰتٍ ۚ fixed ٱعْمَلُوٓا۟ Work ءَالَ O family دَاوُۥدَ (of) Dawood شُكْرًۭا ۚ (in) gratitude وَقَلِيلٌۭ But few مِّنْ of عِبَادِىَ My slaves ٱلشَّكُورُ (are) grateful ١٣

فَلَمَّا Then when قَضَيْنَا We decreed عَلَيْهِ for him ٱلْمَوْتَ the death مَا not دَلَّهُمْ indicated to them عَلَىٰ [on] مَوْتِهِۦٓ his death إِلَّا except دَآبَّةُ a creature ٱلْأَرْضِ (of) the earth تَأْكُلُ eating مِنسَأَتَهُۥ ۖ his staff فَلَمَّا But when خَرَّ he fell down تَبَيَّنَتِ became clear ٱلْجِنُّ (to) the jinn أَن that لَّوْ if كَانُوا۟ they had يَعْلَمُونَ known ٱلْغَيْبَ the unseen مَا not لَبِثُوا۟ they (would have) remained فِى in ٱلْعَذَابِ the punishment ٱلْمُهِينِ humiliating ١٤

لَقَدْ Certainly كَانَ (there) was لِسَبَإٍۢ for Saba فِى in مَسْكَنِهِمْ their dwelling place ءَايَةٌۭ ۖ a sign: جَنَّتَانِ Two gardens عَن on يَمِينٍۢ (the) right وَشِمَالٍۢ ۖ and (on the) left كُلُوا۟ Eat مِن from رِّزْقِ (the) provision رَبِّكُمْ (of) your Lord وَٱشْكُرُوا۟ and be grateful لَهُۥ ۚ to Him بَلْدَةٌۭ A land طَيِّبَةٌۭ good وَرَبٌّ and a Lord غَفُورٌۭ Oft-Forgiving ١٥

فَأَعْرَضُوا۟ But they turned away فَأَرْسَلْنَا so We sent عَلَيْهِمْ upon them سَيْلَ (the) flood ٱلْعَرِمِ (of) the dam وَبَدَّلْنَـٰهُم and We changed for them بِجَنَّتَيْهِمْ their two gardens جَنَّتَيْنِ (with) two gardens ذَوَاتَىْ producing fruit أُكُلٍ producing fruit خَمْطٍۢ bitter وَأَثْلٍۢ and tamarisks وَشَىْءٍۢ and (some)thing مِّن of سِدْرٍۢ lote trees قَلِيلٍۢ few ١٦

وَجَعَلْنَا And We made بَيْنَهُمْ between them وَبَيْنَ and between ٱلْقُرَى the towns ٱلَّتِى which بَـٰرَكْنَا We had blessed فِيهَا in it قُرًۭى towns ظَـٰهِرَةًۭ visible وَقَدَّرْنَا And We determined فِيهَا between them ٱلسَّيْرَ ۖ the journey سِيرُوا۟ Travel فِيهَا between them لَيَالِىَ (by) night وَأَيَّامًا and (by) day ءَامِنِينَ safely ١٨

فَقَالُوا۟ But they said رَبَّنَا Our Lord بَـٰعِدْ lengthen (the distance) بَيْنَ between أَسْفَارِنَا our journeys وَظَلَمُوٓا۟ And they wronged أَنفُسَهُمْ themselves فَجَعَلْنَـٰهُمْ so We made them أَحَادِيثَ narrations وَمَزَّقْنَـٰهُمْ and We dispersed them كُلَّ (in) a total مُمَزَّقٍ ۚ dispersion إِنَّ Indeed فِى in ذَٰلِكَ that لَـَٔايَـٰتٍۢ surely (are) Signs لِّكُلِّ for everyone صَبَّارٍۢ patient شَكُورٍۢ (and) grateful ١٩
