Quran: Surah 28. Al-Qasas - (The Stories)

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
.¡En el nombre de Alá, el Compasivo, el Misericordioso!

English Yusuf Ali: [28:1]Ta. Sin. Mim.
Spanish: [28:1]tsm.

English Yusuf Ali: [28:2]These are Verses of the Book that makes (things) clear.
Spanish: [28:2]éstas son las aleyas de la Escritura clara.

English Yusuf Ali: [28:3]We rehearse to thee some of the story of Moses and Pharaoh in Truth, for people who believe.
Spanish: [28:3]Te recitamos la historia de Moisés y de Faraón, conforme a la verdad, para gente que cree.

English Yusuf Ali: [28:4]Truly Pharaoh elated himself in the land and broke up its people into sections, depressing a small group among them: their sons he slew, but he kept alive their females: for he was indeed a maker of mischief.
Spanish: [28:4]Faraón se condujo altivamente en el país y dividió a sus habitantes en clanes. Debilitaba a un grupo de ellos, degollando a sus hijos varones y dejando con vida a sus mujeres. Era de los corruptores.

English Yusuf Ali: [28:5]And We wished to be Gracious to those who were being depressed in the land, to make them leaders (in Faith) and make them heirs,
Spanish: [28:5]Quisimos agraciar a los que habían sido humillados en el país y hacer de ellos jefes, hacer de ellos herederos,

English Yusuf Ali: [28:6]To establish a firm place for them in the land, and to show Pharaoh, Haman, and their hosts, at their hands, the very things against which they were taking precautions.
Spanish: [28:6]darles poderío en el país y servirnos de ellos para hacer que Faraón. Hamán y sus ejércitos experimentaran lo que ya recelaban.

English Yusuf Ali: [28:7]So We sent this inspiration to the mother of Moses: "Suckle (thy child), but when thou hast fears about him, cast him into the river, but fear not nor grieve: for We shall restore him to thee, and We shall make him one of Our messengers."
Spanish: [28:7]Inspiramos a la madre de Moisés: «Dale de mamar y, en caso de peligro, ponlo en el río! ¡No temas por él, no estés triste! Te lo devolveremos y haremos de él un enviado».

English Yusuf Ali: [28:8]Then the people of Pharaoh picked him up (from the river): (It was intended) that (Moses) should be to them an adversary and a cause of sorrow: for Pharaoh and Haman and (all) their hosts were men of sin.
Spanish: [28:8]Lo recogió la familia de Faraón, para terminar siendo para ellos enemigo y causa de tristeza. Faraón, Hamán y sus ejércitos eran pecadores.

English Yusuf Ali: [28:9]The wife of Pharaoh said: "(Here is) joy of the eye, for me and for thee: slay him not. It may be that he will be use to us, or we may adopt him as a son." And they perceived not (what they were doing)!
Spanish: [28:9]La mujer de Faraón dijo: «Mi alegría y la tuya. ¡No le mates! Quizá nos sea útil o le adoptemos como hijo». No presentían...

English Yusuf Ali: [28:10]But there came to be a void in the heart of the mother of Moses: She was going almost to disclose his (case), had We not strengthened her heart (with faith), so that she might remain a (firm) believer.
Spanish: [28:10]La madre de Moisés quedó desolada y estuvo a punto de revelar lo ocurrido, si no llega a ser porque fortalecimos su corazón para que tuviera fe.

English Yusuf Ali: [28:11]And she said to the sister of (Moses), "Follow him" so she (the sister) watched him in the character of a stranger. And they knew not.
Spanish: [28:11]Dijo a su hermana: «¡Síguele!» Y le observaba de lejos, a hurtadillas.

English Yusuf Ali: [28:12]And we ordained that he refused suck at first, until (His sister came up and) said: "Shall I point out to you the people of a house that will nourish and bring him up for you and be sincerely attached to him?"...
Spanish: [28:12]Antes, le habíamos vedado los pechos. Dijo ella: «¿Queréis que os indique una familia que os lo cuide y eduque?»

English Yusuf Ali: [28:13]Thus did We restore him to his mother, that her eye might be comforted, that she might not grieve, and that she might know that the promise of Allah is true: but most of them do not understand.
Spanish: [28:13]Así, lo devolvimos a su madre, para, que se alegrara y no estuviera triste, para que supiera que lo que Alá promete es verdad. Pero la mayoría no saben.

English Yusuf Ali: [28:14]When he reached full age, and was firmly established (in life), We bestowed on him wisdom and knowledge: for thus do We reward those who do good.
Spanish: [28:14]Cuando alcanzó la madurez y completó su crecimiento, le dimos juicio y ciencia: así retribuimos a quienes hacen el bien.

English Yusuf Ali: [28:15]And he entered the city at a time when its people were not watching: and he found there two men fighting,- one of his own religion, and the other, of his foes. Now the man of his own religion appealed to him against his foe, and Moses struck him with his fist and made an end of him. He said: "This is a work of Evil (Satan): for he is an enemy that manifestly misleads!"
Spanish: [28:15]Sin que se enteraran sus habitantes, entró en la ciudad y encontró a dos hombres que peleaban, uno de su propio clan y otro del clan adverso. El de su clan le pidió auxilio contra el del otro. Moisés dio a éste un puñetazo y le mató. Dijo: «Esto es obra del Demonio, que es un enemigo, extra viador declarado».

English Yusuf Ali: [28:16]He prayed: "O my Lord! I have indeed wronged my soul! Do Thou then forgive me!" So (Allah) forgave him: for He is the Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
Spanish: [28:16]Dijo: «¡Señor! He sido injusto conmigo mismo. ¡Perdóname!» Y le perdonó. Él es el Indulgente, el Misericordioso.

English Yusuf Ali: [28:17]He said: "O my Lord! For that Thou hast bestowed Thy Grace on me, never shall I be a help to those who sin!"
Spanish: [28:17]Dijo: «¡Señor! Por las gracias que me has dispensado, no respaldaré a los pecadores».

English Yusuf Ali: [28:18]So he saw the morning in the city, looking about, in a state of fear, when behold, the man who had, the day before, sought his help called aloud for his help (again). Moses said to him: "Thou art truly, it is clear, a quarrelsome fellow!"
Spanish: [28:18]A la mañana siguiente se encontraba en la ciudad, temeroso, cauto, y he aquí que el que la víspera había solicitado su auxilio le llamó a gritos. Moisés le dijo: «¡Estás evidentemente descarriado!»

English Yusuf Ali: [28:19]Then, when he decided to lay hold of the man who was an enemy to both of them, that man said: "O Moses! Is it thy intention to slay me as thou slewest a man yesterday? Thy intention is none other than to become a powerful violent man in the land, and not to be one who sets things right!"
Spanish: [28:19]Habiendo querido, no obstante, poner las manos en el enemigo de ambos, éste le dijo: «¡Moisés! ¿Es que quieres matarme a mí como mataste ayer a aquél? Tú no quieres sino tiranizar el país, no reformarlo».

English Yusuf Ali: [28:20]And there came a man, running, from the furthest end of the City. He said: "O Moses! the Chiefs are taking counsel together about thee, to slay thee: so get thee away, for I do give thee sincere advice."
Spanish: [28:20]Entonces, de los arrabales, vino corriendo un hombre. Dijo: «¡Moisés!» los dignatarios están deliberando sobre ti para matarte. ¡Sal! Te aconsejo bien».

English Yusuf Ali: [28:21]He therefore got away therefrom, looking about, in a state of fear. He prayed "O my Lord! save me from people given to wrong-doing."
Spanish: [28:21]Y salió de ella, temeroso, cauto. «¡Señor!», dijo: «¿Sálvame del pueblo impío!»

English Yusuf Ali: [28:22]Then, when he turned his face towards (the land of) Madyan, he said: "I do hope that my Lord will show me the smooth and straight Path."
Spanish: [28:22]Y, dirigiéndose hacia Madián, dijo: «Quizá mi Señor me conduzca por el camino recto».

English Yusuf Ali: [28:23]And when he arrived at the watering (place) in Madyan, he found there a group of men watering (their flocks), and besides them he found two women who were keeping back (their flocks). He said: "What is the matter with you?" They said: "We cannot water (our flocks) until the shepherds take back (their flocks): And our father is a very old man."

Spanish: [28:23]Cuando llegó a la aguada de Madián, encontró allí a un grupo de gente que abrevaba sus rebaños. Encontró, además, a dos mujeres que mantenían alejado el de ellas. Dijo: «¿Qué os pasa?» Dijeron ellas: «No podemos abrevar el rebaño mientras estos pastores no se lleven los suyos. Y nuestro padre es muy anciano».

English Yusuf Ali: [28:24]So he watered (their flocks) for them; then he turned back to the shade, and said:"O my Lord! truly am I in (desperate) need of any good that Thou dost send me!"
Spanish: [28:24]Y abrevó su rebaño. Luego, se retiró a la sombra. Y dijo: «¡Señor! Me hace mucha falta cualquier bien que quieras hacerme».

English Yusuf Ali: [28:25]Afterwards one of the (damsels) came (back) to him, walking bashfully. She said: "My father invites thee that he may reward thee for having watered (our flocks) for us." So when he came to him and narrated the story, he said: "Fear thou not: (well) hast thou escaped from unjust people."
Spanish: [28:25]Una de las dos vino a él con paso tímido y dijo: «Mi padre te llama para retribuirte por habernos abrevado el rebaño». Cuando llegó ante él y le contó lo que le había ocurrido, dijo: «¡No temas! Estás a salvo del pueblo impío».

English Yusuf Ali: [28:26]Said one of the (damsels): "O my (dear) father! engage him on wages: truly the best of men for thee to employ is the (man) who is strong and trusty"....
Spanish: [28:26]Una de ellas dijo: «¡Padre! ¡Dale un empleo! No podrás emplear a nadie mejor que este hombre, fuerte, de confianza».

English Yusuf Ali: [28:27]He said: "I intend to wed one of these my daughters to thee, on condition that thou serve me for eight years; but if thou complete ten years, it will be (grace) from thee. But I intend not to place thee under a difficulty: thou wilt find me, indeed, if Allah wills, one of the righteous."
Spanish: [28:27]Dijo: «Quisiera casarte con una de estas dos hijas mías, pero a condición de que trabajes para mí durante ocho años. Si completas diez, es ya cosa tuya. No quiero coaccionarte. Encontrarás, si Alá quiere, que soy de los justos».

English Yusuf Ali: [28:28]He said: "Be that (the agreement) between me and thee: whichever of the two terms I fulfil, let there be no ill-will to me. Be Allah a witness to what we say."
Spanish: [28:28]Dijo: «¡Trato hecho! Y cualquiera que sea el plazo que yo decida, no seré objeto de hostilidad. Alá responde de nuestras palabras».

English Yusuf Ali: [28:29]Now when Moses had fulfilled the term, and was travelling with his family, he perceived a fire in the direction of Mount Tur. He said to his family: "Tarry ye; I perceive a fire; I hope to bring you from there some information, or a burning firebrand, that ye may warm yourselves."
Spanish: [28:29]Y, cuando Moisés cumplió el tiempo convenido y se fue con su familia, distinguió un fuego del lado del monte y dijo a su familia: «¡Quedaos aquí! Distingo un fuego. Quizá pueda informaros de qué se trata u os traiga un tizón. Quizás, así podáis calentaros».

English Yusuf Ali: [28:30]But when he came to the (fire), a voice was heard from the right bank of the valley, from a tree in hallowed ground: "O Moses! Verily I am Allah, the Lord of the Worlds....
Spanish: [28:30]Llegado a él, le llamaron desde la vertiente derecha del valle, desde el sitio bendito, desde el árbol: «¡Moisés! ¡Soy Alá, Señor del universo!

English Yusuf Ali: [28:31]"Now do thou throw thy rod!" but when he saw it moving (of its own accord) as if it had been a snake, he turned back in retreat, and retraced not his steps: O Moses!" (It was said), "Draw near, and fear not: for thou art of those who are secure.
Spanish: [28:31]¡Tira tu vara!» Y cuando vio que se movía como si fuera una serpiente, dio media vuelta para escapar, sin volverse. «¡Moisés! ¡Avanza y no temas! ¡No va a pasarte nada!

English Yusuf Ali: [28:32]"Move thy hand into thy bosom, and it will come forth white without stain (or harm), and draw thy hand close to thy side (to guard) against fear. Those are the two credentials from thy Lord to Pharaoh and his Chiefs: for truly they are a people rebellious and wicked."
Spanish: [28:32]Introduce la mano por la escotadura de tu túnica y saldrá blanca, sana. Frente al miedo, ¡mantente sereno! He aquí dos pruebas de tu Señor, destinadas a Faraón y a sus dignatarios, que son gente perversa».

English Yusuf Ali: [28:33]He said: "O my Lord! I have slain a man among them, and I fear lest they slay me.
Spanish: [28:33]Dijo: «¡Señor! He matado a uno de los suyos y temo que me maten.

English Yusuf Ali: [28:34]"And my brother Aaron - He is more eloquent in speech than I: so send him with me as a helper, to confirm (and strengthen) me: for I fear that they may accuse me of falsehood."
Spanish: [28:34]Mi hermano Aarón es más elocuente que yo. Envíale conmigo como ayudante, para que confirme lo que yo diga. Temo que me desmientan».

English Yusuf Ali: [28:35]He said: "We will certainly strengthen thy arm through thy brother, and invest you both with authority, so they shall not be able to touch you: with Our Sign shall ye triumph,- you two as well as those who follow you."
Spanish: [28:35]Dijo: «Fortaleceremos tu brazo con tu hermano y os daremos autoridad. Así no se llegarán a vosotros. Gracias a Nuestros signos, vosotros dos y quienes os sigan ganaréis».

English Yusuf Ali: [28:36]When Moses came to them with Our clear signs, they said: "This is nothing but sorcery faked up: never did we head the like among our fathers of old!"
Spanish: [28:36]Cuando Moisés les trajo Nuestros signos como pruebas claras, dijeron: «¡Esto no es sino magia inventada! No hemos oído que ocurriera tal cosa en tiempo de nuestros antepasados».

English Yusuf Ali: [28:37]Moses said: "My Lord knows best who it is that comes with guidance from Him and whose end will be best in the Hereafter: certain it is that the wrong-doers will not prosper."
Spanish: [28:37]Moisés dijo: «Mi Señor sabe bien quién ha traído la Dirección de Él y quién tendrá la Morada Postrera. Los impíos no prosperarán».

English Yusuf Ali: [28:38]Pharaoh said: "O Chiefs! no god do I know for you but myself: therefore, O Haman! light me a (kiln to bake bricks) out of clay, and build me a lofty palace, that I may mount up to the god of Moses: but as far as I am concerned, I think (Moses) is a liar!"
Spanish: [28:38]Faraón dijo: «¡Dignatarios! Yo no sé que tengáis a ningún otro dios que a mí. ¡Hamán! ¡Cuéceme unos ladrillos y hazme una torre! Quizás, así, pueda llegarme al dios de

English Yusuf Ali: [28:39]And he was arrogant and insolent in the land, beyond reason,- He and his hosts: they thought that they would not have to return to Us!
Spanish: [28:39]Y se condujeron, él y sus tropas, en el país altivamente sin razón. Creían que no iban a ser devueltos a Nosotros.

English Yusuf Ali: [28:40]So We seized him and his hosts, and We flung them into the sea: Now behold what was the end of those who did wrong!
Spanish: [28:40]Entonces, les sorprendimos, a él y a sus tropas, y les precipitamos en el mar. ¡Y mira cómo terminaron los impíos!

English Yusuf Ali: [28:41]And we made them (but) leaders inviting to the Fire; and on the Day of Judgment no help shall they find.
Spanish: [28:41]Hicimos de ellos jefes que llaman al Fuego. Y el día de la Resurrección no serán auxiliados.

English Yusuf Ali: [28:42]in this world We made a curse to follow them and on the Day of Judgment they will be among the loathed (and despised).
Spanish: [28:42]Hemos hecho que sean perseguidos por una maldición en la vida de acá. Y el día de la Resurrección serán vilipendiados.

English Yusuf Ali: [28:43]We did reveal to Moses the Book after We had destroyed the earlier generations, (to give) Insight to men, and guidance and Mercy, that they might receive admonition.
Spanish: [28:43]Después de haber hecho perecer a las generaciones precedentes, dimos a Moisés la Escritura como argumento evidente para los hombres, como dirección y misericordia. Quizás, así, se dejaran amonestar.

English Yusuf Ali: [28:44]Thou wast not on the Western side when We decreed the Commission to Moses, nor wast thou a witness (of those events).
Spanish: [28:44]Cuando decidimos la orden respecto a Moisés, tú no estabas en la ladera occidental del monte, ni eras testigo.

English Yusuf Ali: [28:45]But We raised up (new) generations, and long were the ages that passed over them; but thou wast not a dweller among the people of Madyan, rehearsing Our Signs to them; but it is We Who send messengers (with inspiration).
Spanish: [28:45]Pero suscitamos generaciones que vivieron una vida larga. Tú no residías entre los madianitas para recitarles Nuestras aleyas. Pero enviamos.

English Yusuf Ali: [28:46]Nor wast thou at the side of (the Mountain of) Tur when we called (to Moses). Yet (art thou sent) as Mercy from thy Lord, to give warning to a people to whom no warner had come before thee: in order that they may receive admonition.
Spanish: [28:46]Ni estabas en la ladera del monte cuando llamamos. Empero, por una misericordia venida de tu Señor, para que adviertas a un pueblo al que no ha venido monitor alguno antes de ti. Quizás, así, se dejen amonestar.

English Yusuf Ali: [28:47]If (We had) not (sent thee to the Quraish),- in case a calamity should seize them for (the deeds) that their hands have sent forth, they might say: "Our Lord! why didst Thou not sent us a messenger? We should then have followed Thy Signs and been amongst those who believe!"
Spanish: [28:47]Si como castigo a sus obras, les afligiera una desgracia, dirían: «¡Señor! ¿Por qué no nos has mandado un enviado? Habríamos seguido Tus signos y creído».

English Yusuf Ali: [28:48]But (now), when the Truth has come to them from Ourselves, they say, "Why are not (Signs) sent to him, like those which were sent to Moses?" Do they not then reject (the Signs) which were formerly sent to Moses? They say: "Two kinds of sorcery, each assisting the other!" And they say: "For us, we reject all (such things)!"
Spanish: [28:48]Pero, ahora que la Verdad ha venido a ellos de parte Nuestra, dicen: «¿Por qué no se le ha dado lo mismo que se dio a Moisés?» Pero ¿no se mostraron también incrédulos ante lo que se había dado antes a Moisés? Dicen: «Son dos casos de magia que se respaldan mutuamente». Y dicen: «No creemos en ninguna».

English Yusuf Ali: [28:49]Say: "Then bring ye a Book from Allah, which is a better guide than either of them, that I may follow it! (do), if ye are truthful!"
Spanish: [28:49]Di: «Entonces, si es verdad lo que decís ¡traed una Escritura de Alá que dirija a los hombres mejor que esas dos y la seguiré!»

English Yusuf Ali: [28:50]But if they hearken not to thee, know that they only follow their own lusts: and who is more astray than one who follow his own lusts, devoid of guidance from Allah? for Allah guides not people given to wrong-doing.
Spanish: [28:50]Y, si no te escuchan, sabe que no hacen sino seguir sus pasiones. ¿Y hay alguien más extraviado que quien sigue sus pasiones, sin ninguna dirección venida de Alá? Alá no dirige al pueblo impío.

English Yusuf Ali: [28:51]Now have We caused the Word to reach them themselves, in order that they may receive admonition.
Spanish: [28:51]Les hemos hecho llegar la Palabra. Quizás, así se dejen amonestar.

English Yusuf Ali: [28:52]Those to whom We sent the Book before this,- they do believe in this (revelation):
Spanish: [28:52]Aquéllos a quienes hemos dado la Escritura antes de él, creen en él.

English Yusuf Ali: [28:53]And when it is recited to them, they say: "We believe therein, for it is the Truth from our Lord: indeed we have been Muslims (bowing to Allah's Will) from before this. Spanish: [28:53]Y, cuando se les recita éste, dicen: «¡Creemos en él! Es la Verdad que viene de nuestro Señor. Antes de él nos habíamos sometido».

English Yusuf Ali: [28:54]Twice will they be given their reward, for that they have persevered, that they avert Evil with Good, and that they spend (in charity) out of what We have given them.
Spanish: [28:54]Recibirán doble remuneración por haber tenido paciencia. Repelen el mal con el bien y dan limosna de lo que les hemos proveído.

English Yusuf Ali: [28:55]And when they hear vain talk, they turn away therefrom and say: "To us our deeds, and to you yours; peace be to you: we seek not the ignorant."
Spanish: [28:55]Cuando oyen vaniloquio, se desvían y dicen: «Nosotros responderemos de nuestros actos y vosotros de los vuestros. ¡Paz sobre vosotros! ¡No deseamos tratar con los ignorantes!»

English Yusuf Ali: [28:56]It is true thou wilt not be able to guide every one, whom thou lovest; but Allah guides those whom He will and He knows best those who receive guidance.
Spanish: [28:56]Tú no puedes dirigir a quien amas. Alá es, más bien, Quien dirige a quien él quiere. Él sabe mejor que nadie quiénes son los que siguen la buena dirección.

English Yusuf Ali: [28:57]They say: "If we were to follow the guidance with thee, we should be snatched away from our land." Have We not established for them a secure sanctuary, to which are brought as tribute fruits of all kinds,- a provision from Ourselves? but most of them understand not.
Spanish: [28:57]Dicen: «Si seguimos la Dirección contigo, se nos despojará de nuestra tierra». Pero ¿es que no les hemos dado poder sobre un territorio sagrado y seguro, al que se traen frutos de todas clases como sustento de parte Nuestra? Pero la mayoría no saben.

English Yusuf Ali: [28:58]And how many populations We destroyed, which exulted in their life (of ease and plenty)! now those habitations of theirs, after them, are deserted,- All but a (miserable) few! and We are their heirs!
Spanish: [28:58]¡Cuántas ciudades hemos hecho perecer, que se ufanaban de sus medios de subsistencia! Ahí tenéis sus viviendas, casi del todo deshabitadas después de ellos. Hemos sido Nosotros los Herederos.

English Yusuf Ali: [28:59]Nor was thy Lord the one to destroy a population until He had sent to its centre a messenger, rehearsing to them Our Signs; nor are We going to destroy a population except when its members practise iniquity.
Spanish: [28:59]Tu Señor nunca ha destruido ciudades sin haber antes mandado a su metrópoli a un enviado que les recitara Nuestras aleyas. Nunca hemos destruido ciudades, a menos que sus habitantes fueran impíos.

English Yusuf Ali: [28:60]The (material) things which ye are given are but the conveniences of this life and the glitter thereof; but that which is with Allah is better and more enduring: will ye not then be wise?
Spanish: [28:60]Lo que habéis recibido no es más que breve disfrute de la vida de acá y ornato suyo. En cambio, lo que Alá tiene es mejor y más duradero. ¿Es que no razonáis?

English Yusuf Ali: [28:61]Are (these two) alike?- one to whom We have made a goodly promise, and who is going to reach its (fulfilment), and one to whom We have given the good things of this life, but who, on the Day of Judgment, is to be among those brought up (for punishment)?
Spanish: [28:61]Uno a quien hemos prometido algo bello, que verá cumplirse, ¿es comparable a aquel otro a quien hemos permitido el breve disfrute de la vida de acá y a quien luego, el día de la Resurrección, se hará comparecer?

English Yusuf Ali: [28:62]That Day (Allah) will call to them, and say "Where are my 'partners'?- whom ye imagined (to be such)?"
Spanish: [28:62]El día que les llame, dirá: «¡Dónde están aquéllos que pretendíais que eran Mis asociados?»

English Yusuf Ali: [28:63]Those against whom the charge will be proved, will say: "Our Lord! These are the ones whom we led astray: we led them astray, as we were astray ourselves: we free ourselves (from them) in Thy presence: it was not us they worshipped."
Spanish: [28:63]Aquéllos contra quienes se pronuncie la sentencia dirán: «¡Señor! éstos son los que nosotros descarriamos. Les descarriamos como nosotros también estábamos descarriados. Somos inocentes ante Ti. No es a nosotros a quienes servían».

English Yusuf Ali: [28:64]It will be said (to them): "Call upon your 'partners' (for help)" :they will call upon them, but they will not listen to them; and they will see the Penalty (before them); (how they will wish) 'if only they had been open to guidance!'
Spanish: [28:64]Se dirá: «¡Invocad a vuestros asociados!» Les invocarán, pero no les escucharán y verán el castigo. Si hubieran seguido la buena dirección...

English Yusuf Ali: [28:65]That Day (Allah) will call to them, and say: "What was the answer ye gave to the messengers?"
Spanish: [28:65]El día que les llame, dirá: «¿Qué repondisteis a los enviados?»

English Yusuf Ali: [28:66]Then the (whole) story that Day will seem obscure to them (like light to the blind) and they will not be able (even) to question each other.
Spanish: [28:66]Ese día, como no sabrán qué responder, ni se preguntarán unos a otros.

English Yusuf Ali: [28:67]But any that (in this life) had repented, believed, and worked righteousness, will have hopes to be among those who achieve salvation.
Spanish: [28:67]En cuanto a quien se arrepienta, crea y obre bien, es posible que se cuente entre los que prosperen.

English Yusuf Ali: [28:68]Thy Lord does create and choose as He pleases: no choice have they (in the matter): Glory to Allah! and far is He above the partners they ascribe (to Him)!
Spanish: [28:68]Tu Señor crea y elige lo que quiere. El elegir no les incumbe. ¡Gloria a Alá! ¡Está por encima de lo que Le asocian!

English Yusuf Ali: [28:69]And thy Lord knows all that their hearts conceal and all that they reveal.
Spanish: [28:69]Tu Señor conoce lo que ocultan sus pechos y lo que manifiestan.

English Yusuf Ali: [28:70]And He is Allah: There is no god but He. To Him be praise, at the first and at the last: for Him is the Command, and to Him shall ye (all) be brought back.
Spanish: [28:70]¡Es Alá ¡No hay más dios que Él! ¡Alabado sea en esta vida y en la otra! ¡Suya es la decisión ! ¡Y a Él seréis devueltos!

English Yusuf Ali: [28:71]Say: See ye? If Allah were to make the night perpetual over you to the Day of Judgment, what god is there other than Allah, who can give you enlightenment? Will ye not then hearken?
Spanish: [28:71]Di: «¿Qué os parece si Alá os impusiera una noche perpetua hasta el día de la Resurrección? ¿Qué otro dios que Alá podría traeros la claridad? ¿Es que no oís?»

English Yusuf Ali: [28:72]Say: See ye? If Allah were to make the day perpetual over you to the Day of Judgment, what god is there other than Allah, who can give you a night in which ye can rest? Will ye not then see?
Spanish: [28:72]Di: «¿Qué os parece si Alá os impusiera un día perpetuo hasta el día de la Resurrección? ¿Qué otro dios que Alá podría traeros la noche para reposaros? ¿Es que no veis?»

English Yusuf Ali: [28:73]It is out of His Mercy that He has made for you Night and Day,- that ye may rest therein, and that ye may seek of his Grace;- and in order that ye may be grateful.
Spanish: [28:73]Como muestra de Su misericordia, ha establecido la noche para vosotros para que descanséis y el día para que busquéis Su favor. Y quizás así, seáis agradecidos.

English Yusuf Ali: [28:74]The Day that He will call on them, He will say: "Where are my 'partners'? whom ye imagined (to be such)?"
Spanish: [28:74]El día que les llame, dirá: «¿Dónde están aquéllos que pretendíais que eran Mis asociados?»

English Yusuf Ali: [28:75]And from each people shall We draw a witness, and We shall say: "Produce your Proof": then shall they know that the Truth is in Allah (alone), and the (lies) which they invented will leave them in lurch.
Spanish: [28:75]Haremos comparecer un testigo de cada comunidad y diremos: «¡Aportad vuestra prueba!» Y sabrán que la Verdad es de Alá. Y se esfumarán sus invenciones.

English Yusuf Ali: [28:76]Qarun was doubtless, of the people of Moses; but he acted insolently towards them: such were the treasures We had bestowed on him that their very keys would have been a burden to a body of strong men, behold, his people said to him: "Exult not, for Allah loveth not those who exult (in riches).
Spanish: [28:76]Coré formaba parte del pueblo de Moisés y se insolentó con ellos. Le habíamos dado tantos tesoros que un grupo de hombres forzudos apenas podía cargar con las llaves. Cuando su pueblo le dijo: «No te regocijes, que Alá no ama a los que se regocijan!

English Yusuf Ali: [28:77]"But seek, with the (wealth) which Allah has bestowed on thee, the Home of the Hereafter, nor forget thy portion in this world: but do thou good, as Allah has been good to thee, and seek not (occasions for) mischief in the land: for Allah loves not those who do mischief."
Spanish: [28:77]¡Busca en lo que Alá te ha dado la Morada Postrera, pero no olvides la parte que de la vida de acá te toca! ¡Sé bueno, como Alá lo es contigo! ¡No busques corromper en la tierra, que Alá no ama a los corruptores!»

English Yusuf Ali: [28:78]He said: "This has been given to me because of a certain knowledge which I have." Did he not know that Allah had destroyed, before him, (whole) generations,- which were superior to him in strength and greater in the amount (of riches) they had collected? but the wicked are not called (immediately) to account for their sins.
Spanish: [28:78]Dijo: «Lo que se me ha dado lo debo sólo a una ciencia que tengo». Pero ¿es que no sabía que Alá había hecho perecer antes de él a otras generaciones más poderosas y opulentas que él? Pero a los pecadores no se les interrogará acerca de sus pecados.

English Yusuf Ali: [28:79]So he went forth among his people in the (pride of his wordly) glitter. Said those whose aim is the Life of this World: "Oh! that we had the like of what Qarun has got! for he is truly a lord of mighty good fortune!"
Spanish: [28:79]Apareció ante su pueblo, rodeado de pompa. Los que deseaban la vida de acá dijeron: «¡Ojalá se nos hubiera dado otro tanto de lo que se ha dado a Coré! Tiene una suerte extraordinaria».

English Yusuf Ali: [28:80]But those who had been granted (true) knowledge said: "Alas for you! The reward of Allah (in the Hereafter) is best for those who believe and work righteousness: but this none shall attain, save those who steadfastly persevere (in good)."
Spanish: [28:80]Pero los que habían recibido la Ciencia, dijeron: «¡Ay de vosotros! La recompensa de Alá es mejor para el que cree y obra bien. Y no lo conseguirán sino los que tengan paciencia».

English Yusuf Ali: [28:81]Then We caused the earth to swallow up him and his house; and he had not (the least little) party to help him against Allah, nor could he defend himself.
Spanish: [28:81]Hicimos que la tierra se tragara a él y su vivienda. No hubo ningún grupo que, fuera de Alá, le auxiliara, ni pudo defenderse a sí mismo.

English Yusuf Ali: [28:82]And those who had envied his position the day before began to say on the morrow: "Ah! it is indeed Allah Who enlarges the provision or restricts it, to any of His servants He pleases! had it not been that Allah was gracious to us, He could have caused the earth to swallow us up! Ah! those who reject Allah will assuredly never prosper."
Spanish: [28:82]A la mañana siguiente, los que la víspera habían envidiado su posición dijeron: «¡Ah! Alá dispensa el sustento a quien Él quiere de sus Siervos: a unos con largueza, a otros con mesura. Si Alá no nos hubiera agraciado, habría hecho que nos tragara. ¡Ah! ¡Los infieles no prosperarán!»

English Yusuf Ali: [28:83]That Home of the Hereafter We shall give to those who intend not high-handedness or mischief on earth: and the end is (best) for the righteous.
Spanish: [28:83]Asignamos esa Morada Postrera a quienes no quieren conducirse con altivez en la tierra ni corromper. El fin es para los que temen a Alá.

English Yusuf Ali: [28:84]If any does good, the reward to him is better than his deed; but if any does evil, the doers of evil are only punished (to the extent) of their deeds.
Spanish: [28:84]Quien venga habiendo obrado bien tendrá como recompensa algo aún mejor. Y quien venga habiendo obrado mal,... Quienes hayan obrado mal no serán retribuidos sino conforme a sus obras.

English Yusuf Ali: [28:85]Verily He Who ordained the Qur'an for thee, will bring thee back to the Place of Return. Say: "My Lord knows best who it is that brings true guidance, and who is in manifest error."
Spanish: [28:85]Sí, Quien te ha impuesto el Corán, te devolverá a un lugar de retorno. Di: «Mi Señor sabe bien quién ha traído la Dirección y quién está evidentemente extraviado».

English Yusuf Ali: [28:86]And thou hadst not expected that the Book would be sent to thee except as a Mercy from thy Lord: Therefore lend not thou support in any way to those who reject (Allah's Message).
Spanish: [28:86]Tú no podías esperar que se te transmitiera a ti la Escritura. No ha sido así más que por misericordia venida de tu Señor. ¡No respaldes a los infieles!

English Yusuf Ali: [28:87]And let nothing keep thee back from the Signs of Allah after they have been revealed to thee: and invite (men) to thy Lord, and be not of the company of those who join gods with Allah.
Spanish: [28:87]¡Que no te desvíen de las aleyas de Alá, después de haberte sido reveladas! ¡Llama a tu Señor y no seas de los asociadores!

English Yusuf Ali: [28:88]And call not, besides Allah, on another god. There is no god but He. Everything (that exists) will perish except His own Face. To Him belongs the Command, and to Him will ye (all) be brought back.
Spanish: [28:88]¡No invoques a otro dios junto con Alá! ¡No hay más dios que Él! ¡Todo perece, salvo Él! ¡Suya es la decisión! ¡Y a Él seréis devueltos!
