ﱁThe wealthﱂand childrenﱃ(are) adornmentﱄ(of) the lifeﱅﱆ(of) the worldﱇBut the enduringﱈgood deedsﱉ(are) betterﱊnearﱋyour Lordﱌ(for) rewardﱍand betterﱎ(for) hopeﱏ(46)

Wealth and children are the adornment of this worldly life, but the everlasting good deeds are far better with your Lord in reward and in hope.1

18:47

ﱐAnd the DayﱑWe will cause (to) moveﱒthe mountainsﱓand you will seeﱔthe earthﱕ(as) a leveled plainﱖand We will gather themﱗand notﱘWe will leave behindﱙfrom themﱚanyoneﱛ(47)

˹Beware of˺ the Day We will blow the mountains away, and you will see the earth laid bare. And We will gather all ˹humankind˺, leaving none behind.

18:48

ﱜAnd they will be presentedﱝbeforeﱞyour Lordﱟ(in) rowsﱠCertainlyﱡyou have come to UsﱢasﱣWe created youﱤthe firstﱥﱦtimeﱧNayﱨyou claimedﱩthat notﱪWe madeﱫfor youﱬan appointmentﱭ(48)

They will be presented before your Lord in rows, ˹and the deniers will be told,˺ “You have surely returned to Us ˹all alone˺ as We created you the first time, although you ˹always˺ claimed that We would never appoint a time for your return.”

18:49

ﱮAnd (will) be placedﱯthe Bookﱰand you will seeﱱthe criminalsﱲfearfulﱳof whatﱴ(is) in itﱵand they will sayﱶOh, woe to usﱷWhat (is) forﱸthisﱹ[the] Bookﱺnotﱻleavesﱼa smallﱽand notﱾa greatﱿexceptﲀﲁhas enumerated itﲂAnd they will findﲃwhatﲄthey didﲅﲆpresentedﲇAnd notﲈdeals unjustlyﲉyour Lordﲊ(with) anyoneﲋ(49)

And the record ˹of deeds˺ will be laid ˹open˺, and you will see the wicked in fear of what is ˹written˺ in it. They will cry, “Woe to us! What kind of record is this that does not leave any sin, small or large, unlisted?” They will find whatever they did present ˹before them˺. And your Lord will never wrong anyone.

18:50

ﲌAnd whenﲍWe saidﲎto the AngelsﲏProstrateﲐto Adamﲑso they prostratedﲒexceptﲓIblisﲔ(He) wasﲕofﲖthe jinnﲗand he rebelledﲘagainstﲙthe Commandﲚﲛ(of) his LordﲜWill you then take himﲝand his offspringﲞ(as) protectorsﲟother than Meﲠother than Meﲡwhile theyﲢ(are) to youﲣﲤenemiesﲥWretchedﲦfor the wrongdoersﲧ(is) the exchangeﲨ(50)

And ˹remember˺ when We said to the angels, “Prostrate before Adam,” so they all did—but not Iblîs,1 who was one of the jinn, but he rebelled against the command of his Lord. Would you then take him and his descendants as patrons instead of Me, although they are your enemy? What an evil alternative for the wrongdoers ˹to choose˺!

18:51

ﲩ ﲪNotﲫI made them witnessﲬthe creationﲭ(of) the heavensﲮand the earthﲯand notﲰthe creationﲱ(of) themselvesﲲand notﲳI Amﲴthe One to takeﲵthe misleadersﲶ(as) helper(s)ﲷ(51)

I never called them to witness the creation of the heavens and the earth or ˹even˺ their own creation, nor would I take the misleaders as helpers.

18:52

ﲸAnd the DayﲹHe will sayﲺCallﲻMy partnersﲼthose whoﲽyou claimedﲾthen they will call themﲿbut notﳀthey will respondﳁto themﳂAnd We will makeﳃbetween themﳄa barrierﳅ(52)

And ˹beware of˺ the Day He will say, “Call upon those you claimed were My associate-gods.” So they will call them, but will receive no response. And We will make them ˹all˺ share in the same doom.

18:53

ﳆAnd will seeﳇthe criminalsﳈthe Fireﳉand they (will be) certainﳊthat theyﳋare to fall in itﳌAnd notﳍthey will findﳎfrom itﳏa way of escapeﳐ(53)

The wicked will see the Fire and realize that they are bound to fall into it, and will find no way to avoid it.
