2:266

Does any of you wish that he should have a garden with date-palms and vines and streams flowing underneath, and all kinds of fruit, while he is stricken with old age, and his children are not strong (enough to look after themselves)- that it should be caught in a whirlwind, with fire therein, and be burnt up? Thus doth Allah make clear to you (His) Signs; that ye may consider.

Would any of you like to have a garden of palm trees and vines, graced with flowing streams and all kinds of produce, which, when you are afflicted with old age and feeble offspring, is struck by a fiery whirlwind and burnt down? In this way God makes His messages clear to you, so that you may reflect on them.

Would any of you like to have a garden of palm-trees and vines, with rivers flowing underneath it, with all kinds of fruit for him therein; and old age hath stricken him and he hath feeble offspring; and a fiery whirlwind striketh it and it is (all) consumed by fire. Thus Allah maketh plain His revelations unto you, in order that ye may give thought.

Would one of you like to have a garden of palm trees and grapevines underneath which rivers flow in which he has from every fruit? But he is afflicted with old age and has weak [i.e., immature] offspring, and it is hit by a whirlwind containing fire and is burned. Thus does Allāh make clear to you [His] verses that you might give thought.

Hangi biriniz, kendisi ihtiyarlamış ve çocukları da güçsüzken, altlarından ırmaklar akan, hurma, üzüm ve her çeşit meyveleri bulunan bahçesinin, ateşli bir kasırganın kopmasıyla yanmasını ister? Düşünesiniz diye Allah size ayetlerini böylece açıklar.

Hiç biriniz ister mi ki, kendisinin hurmalık ve üzümlüklerden bir bahçesi olsun, altında ırmaklar aksın, içinde her türlü ürünü bulunsun da, kendi üzerine de ihtiyarlık çökmüş ve elleri ermez, güçleri yetmez küçük, zayıf çocukları olsun. Derken ona ateşli bir bora isabet ediversin de o bahçe yanıversin. İşte Allah, âyetlerini size böylece açıklıyor. Umulur ki, düşünürsünüz.

Herhangi biriniz ister mi ki hurma ve üzümlere (ağaçlara) sahip, arasından sular akan ve kendisi için orada her çeşit meyveden bulunan bir bahçesi olsun (ama) bakıma muhtaç çocukları varken kendisine yaşlılık gelip çatsın; içinde ateş bulunan bir kasırga ona (bahçeye) isabet ederek yakıp kül etsin! Allah düşünesiniz diye ayetleri size işte böyle açıklıyor.

أيرغب الواحد منكم أن يكون له بستان فيه النخيل والأعناب، تجري من تحت أشجارِه المياه العذبة، وله فيه من كل ألوان الثمرات، وقد بلغ الكِبَر، ولا يستطيع أن يغرس مثل هذا الغرس، وله أولاد صغار في حاجة إلى هذا البستان وفي هذه الحالة هبَّت عليه ريح شديدة، فيها نار محرقة فأحرقته؛ وهكذا حال غير المخلصين في نفقاتهم، يأتون يوم القيامة ولا حسنة لهم. وبمثل هذا البيان يبيِّن الله لكم ما ينفعكم؛ كي تتأملوا، فتخلصوا نفقاتكم لله.
