مِثْلَ دَأْبِ قَوْمِ نُوحٍ وَعَادٍ وَثَمُودَ وَٱلَّذِينَ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِمْ ۚ وَمَا ٱللَّهُ يُرِيدُ ظُلْمًا لِّلْعِبَادِ

Like the custom of the people of Noah and of 'Aad and Thamud and those after them. And Allah wants no injustice for [His] servants.

Mithla dabi qawmi noohin waAAadin wathamooda waallatheena min baAAdihim wama Allahu yureedu thulman lilAAibadi
French: Hamidullah
Un sort semblable à celui du peuple de Noé, des 'Aad et des Thamûd et de ceux [qui vécurent] après eux». Allah ne veut [faire subir] aucune injustice aux serviteurs.

وَيَٰقَوْمِ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلتَّنَادِ

And O my people, indeed I fear for you the Day of Calling -

«O mon peuple, je crains pour vous le jour de l'Appel Mutuel,
40.33
يَوْمَ تُوَلُّونَ مُدْبِرِينَ مَا لَكُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ مِنْ عَاصِمٍ ۗ وَمَن يُضْلِلِ ٱللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُۥ مِنْ هَادٍ
English: Sahih International
The Day you will turn your backs fleeing; there is not for you from Allah any protector. And whoever Allah leaves astray - there is not for him any guide.
English: Transliteration
Yawma tuwalloona mudbireena ma lakum mina Allahi min AAasimin waman yudlili Allahu fama lahu min hadin
French: Hamidullah
Le jour où vous tournerez le dos en déroute, sans qu'il y ait pour vous de protecteur contre Allah». Et quiconque Allah égare, n'a point de guide.
40.34
وَلَقَدْ جَآءَكُمْ يُوسُفُ مِن قَبْلُ بِٱلْبَيِّنَٰتِ فَمَا زِلْتُمْ فِى شَكٍّ مِّمَّا جَآءَكُم بِهِۦ ۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا هَلَكَ قُلْتُمْ لَن يَبْعَثَ ٱللَّهُ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِۦ رَسُولًا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ ٱللَّهُ مَنْ هُوَ مُسْرِفٌ مُّرْتَابٌ
English: Sahih International
And Joseph had already come to you before with clear proofs, but you remained in doubt of that which he brought to you, until when he died, you said, 'Never will Allah send a messenger after him.' Thus does Allah leave astray he who is a transgressor and skeptic."
English: Transliteration
Walaqad jaakum yoosufu min qablu bialbayyinati fama ziltum fee shakkin mimma jaakum bihi hatta itha halaka qultum lan yabAAatha Allahu min baAAdihi rasoolan kathalika yudillu Allahu man huwa musrifun murtabun
French: Hamidullah
Certes, Joseph vous est venu auparavant avec les preuves évidentes, mais vous n'avez jamais cessé d'avoir des doutes sur ce qu'il vous avait apporté. Mais lorsqu'il mourut, vous dites alors: «Allah n'enverra plus jamais de Messager après lui». Ainsi Allah égare-t-Il celui qui est outrancier et celui qui doute.
40.35
ٱلَّذِينَ يُجَٰدِلُونَ فِىٓ ءَايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ سُلْطَٰنٍ أَتَىٰهُمْ ۖ كَبُرَ مَقْتًا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَعِندَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يَطْبَعُ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ قَلْبِ مُتَكَبِّرٍ جَبَّارٍ
English: Sahih International
Those who dispute concerning the signs of Allah without an authority having come to them - great is hatred [of them] in the sight of Allah and in the sight of those who have believed. Thus does Allah seal over every heart [belonging to] an arrogant tyrant.
English: Transliteration
Allatheena yujadiloona fee ayati Allahi bighayri sultanin atahum kabura maqtan AAinda Allahi waAAinda allatheena amanoo kathalika yatbaAAu Allahu AAala kulli qalbi mutakabbirin jabbarin
French: Hamidullah
Ceux qui discutent les prodiges d'Allah sans qu'aucune preuve ne leur soit venue, [leur action] est grandement haïssable auprès d'Allah et auprès de ceux qui croient. Ainsi Allah scelle-t-Il le cœur de tout orgueilleux tyran.
40.36
وَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ يَٰهَٰمَٰنُ ٱبْنِ لِى صَرْحًا لَّعَلِّىٓ أَبْلُغُ ٱلْأَسْبَٰبَ
English: Sahih International
And Pharaoh said, "O Haman, construct for me a tower that I might reach the ways -

Waqala firAAawnu ya hamanu ibni lee sarhan laAAallee ablughu alasbaba
French: Hamidullah
Et Pharaon dit: «O Hâmân, bâtis-moi une tour: peut-être atteindrai-je les voies,
40.37
أَسْبَٰبَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ فَأَطَّلِعَ إِلَىٰٓ إِلَٰهِ مُوسَىٰ وَإِنِّى لَأَظُنُّهُۥ كَٰذِبًا ۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ زُيِّنَ لِفِرْعَوْنَ سُوٓءُ عَمَلِهِۦ وَصُدَّ عَنِ ٱلسَّبِيلِ ۚ وَمَا كَيْدُ فِرْعَوْنَ إِلَّا فِى تَبَابٍ
English: Sahih International
The ways into the heavens - so that I may look at the deity of Moses; but indeed, I think he is a liar." And thus was made attractive to Pharaoh the evil of his deed, and he was averted from the [right] way. And the plan of Pharaoh was not except in ruin.
English: Transliteration
Asbaba alssamawati faattaliAAa ila ilahi moosa wainnee laathunnuhu kathiban wakathalika zuyyina lifirAAawna sooo AAamalihi wasudda AAani alssabeeli wama kaydu firAAawna illa fee tababin
French: Hamidullah
les voies des cieux, et apercevrai-je le Dieu de Moïse; mais je pense que celui-ci est menteur». Ainsi la mauvaise action de Pharaon lui parut enjolivée; et il fut détourné du droit chemin; et le stratagème de Pharaon n'est voué qu'à la destruction.
40.38
وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِىٓ ءَامَنَ يَٰقَوْمِ ٱتَّبِعُونِ أَهْدِكُمْ سَبِيلَ ٱلرَّشَادِ
English: Sahih International
And he who believed said, "O my people, follow me, I will guide you to the way of right conduct.

Et celui qui avait cru dit: «O mon peuple, suivez-moi. Je vous guiderai au sentier de la droiture.
40.39
يَٰقَوْمِ إِنَّمَا هَٰذِهِ ٱلْحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنْيَا مَتَٰعٌ وَإِنَّ ٱلْءَاخِرَةَ هِىَ دَارُ ٱلْقَرَارِ
English: Sahih International
O my people, this worldly life is only [temporary] enjoyment, and indeed, the Hereafter - that is the home of [permanent] settlement.
English: Transliteration
Ya qawmi innama hathihi alhayatu alddunya mataAAun wainna alakhirata hiya daru alqarari
French: Hamidullah
O mon peuple, cette vie n'est que jouissance temporaire, alors que l'au-delà est vraiment la demeure de la stabilité.
40.40
مَنْ عَمِلَ سَيِّئَةً فَلَا يُجْزَىٰٓ إِلَّا مِثْلَهَا ۖ وَمَنْ عَمِلَ صَٰلِحًا مِّن ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنثَىٰ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ يَدْخُلُونَ ٱلْجَنَّةَ يُرْزَقُونَ فِيهَا بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ
English: Sahih International
Whoever does an evil deed will not be recompensed except by the like thereof; but whoever does righteousness, whether male or female, while he is a believer - those will enter Paradise, being given provision therein without account.
English: Transliteration
Man AAamila sayyiatan fala yujza illa mithlaha waman AAamila salihan min thakarin aw ontha wahuwa muminun faolaika yadkhuloona aljannata yurzaqoona feeha bighayri hisabin
French: Hamidullah
Quiconque fait une mauvaise action ne sera rétribué que par son pareil; et quiconque, mâle ou femelle, fait une bonne action tout en étant croyant, alors ceux-là entreront au Paradis pour y recevoir leur subsistance sans compter.
