*Litakase jina la Mola wako Mlezi aliye juu kabisa,
*Celebrate the Name of your Lord, the Most Exalted,
87:2
الَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ
*Aliye umba, na akaweka sawa,
*who created and proportioned,
87:3
وَالَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ
*Na ambaye amekadiria na akaongoa,
*who determined and guided,
87:4
وَالَّذِي أَخْرَجَ الْمَرْعَىٰ
*Na aliye otesha malisho,
*who brought forth the pasture
87:5
فَجَعَلَهُ غُثَاءً أَحْوَىٰ
*Kisha akayafanya makavu, meusi.
*and then turned it into a black scum.
87:6
سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنْسَىٰ
*Tutakusomesha wala hutasahau,
*We shall have you recite [the Quran], then you will not forget [any of it]

إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ الْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ
*Ila akipenda Mwenyezi Mungu. Hakika Yeye anayajua yaliyo dhaahiri na yaliyo fichikana.
*except what Allah may wish. Indeed, He knows the open and what is hidden.
87:8
وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
*Na tutakusahilishia yawe mepesi.
*And We shall ease you into facility.
87:9
فَذَكِّرْ إِنْ نَفَعَتِ الذِّكْرَىٰ
*Basi kumbusha, kama kukumbusha kunafaa.
*So admonish, for admonition is indeed beneficial:
87:10
سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَنْ يَخْشَىٰ
*Atakumbuka mwenye kuogopa.
*he who fears [God] will take admonition,
87:11
وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا الْأَشْقَى
*Na atajitenga mbali nayo mpotovu,
*and the most wretched will shun it
87:12
الَّذِي يَصْلَى النَّارَ الْكُبْرَىٰ
*Ambaye atauingia Moto mkubwa.
*—he who will enter the Great Fire,
87:13
ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ
*Tena humo hatakufa wala hawi hai.
*then he will neither live in it, nor die.
87:14
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ تَزَكَّىٰ
*Hakika amekwisha fanikiwa aliye jitakasa.
*‘Felicitous is he who purifies himself,
87:15
وَذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلَّىٰ
*Na akakumbuka jina la Mola wake Mlezi, na akasali.
*celebrates the Name of his Lord, and prays.
87:16
بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا
*Lakini nyinyi mnakhiari maisha ya dunia!
*But you prefer the life of this world,
87:17
وَالْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ
*Na Akhera ni bora na yenye kudumu zaidi.
*while the Hereafter is better and more lasting.’
87:18
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِي الصُّحُفِ الْأُولَىٰ

*This is indeed in the former scriptures,

صُحُفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ
*Vitabu vya Ibrahimu na Musa.
*the scriptures of Abraham and Moses.
