1Woe to those who give short measure

2who demand of other people full measure for themselves

3but give less than they should when it is they who weigh or measure for others

4Do these people not realize that they will be raised up

5on a mighty Day

6a Day when everyone will stand before the Lord of the Worlds

7No indeed! The list of the wicked is in Sijjin––

8what will explain to you what Sijjin is?––

9a clearly numbered list

10Woe on that day to the deniers

11those who deny the Day of Judgement

12Only the evil aggressor denies it

13when Our revelations are recited to him, he says, ‘Ancient fables!’

14No indeed! Their hearts are encrusted with what they have done

15No indeed! On that Day they will be screened offfrom their Lord

16they will burn in Hell

17and they will be told, ‘This is what you called a lie.’

18No indeed! The list of the truly good is in 'Illiyyin––

19what will explain to you what 'Illiyyin is?––

20a clearly written list

21witnessed by those brought near

22The truly good will live in bliss

23seated on couches, gazing around

24You will recognize on their faces the radiance of bliss

25They will be served a sealed nectar

26its seal [perfumed with] a fragrant herb––let those who strive, strive for this––

27mixed with the water of Tasnim

28a spring from which those brought near will drink

29The wicked used to laugh at the believers––

30they would wink at one another when the believers passed by them

31joke about them when they got back to their own people

32and say, when they saw them, ‘These people are misguided,’

33though they were not sent to be their keepers

34so today the believers are laughing at the disbelievers

35as they sit on couches, gazing around

36Have the disbelievers [not] been repaid for their deeds
