وَلَقَدْ عَهِدْنَا إِلَى آدَمَ مِنْ قَبْلُ فَنَسِىَ وَلَمْ نَجِدْ لَهُ عَزْم(( 115 ))

115- AND VERILY WE MADE A COVENANT WITH ADAM FROM BEFORE, BUT HE FORGOT, AND WE FOUND HIM NOT DECISIVE.

وَإِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلاَئِکَةِ اسْجُدُوا لاِدَمَ فَسَجَدُوا إِلاَّ إِبْلِیسَ أَبَى(( 116 ))

116- WHEN WE SAID TO THE ANGELS; PROSTRATE YOURSELVES BEFORE ADAM. THEN THEY (ALL) PROSTRATED THEMSELVES, EXCEPT IBLIS (WHO) REFUSED.

فَقُلْنَا یَا آدَمُ إِنَّ هَذَا عَدُوٌّ لَکَ وَلِزَوْجِکَ فَلاَ یُخْرِجَنَّکُمَا مِنْ الْجَنَّةِ فَتَشْقَى(( 117 ))

117- THEN WE SAID; O, ADAM! VERILY THIS IS AN ENEMY TO YOU, AND TO YOUR WIFE. SO LET HIM NOT DISCHARGE YOU FROM THE GARDEN, THEN YOU BE IN TROUBLE.

إِنَّ لَکَ أَلاَّ تَجُوعَ فِیهَا وَلاَ تَعْرَى(( 118 ))

118- THERE IN (THE GARDEN) YOU WILL NEITHER BECOME HUNGRY NOR NUDE.

وَأَنَّکَ لاَ تَظْمَأُ فِیهَا وَلاَ تَضْحَى(( 119 ))

119- AND YOU WILL NOT REMAIN THIRSTY IN IT, NOR WILL YOU SUFFER THE SUNSHINE.

فَوَسْوَسَ إِلَیْهِ الشَّیْطَانُ قَالَ یَا آدَمُ هَلْ أَدُلُّکَ عَلَى شَجَرَةِ الْخُلْدِ وَمُلْک لاَّ یَبْلَى(( 120 ))

120- THE SATAN TEMPTED HIM. HE SAID:ِ ``O, ADAM! SHALL I LEAD YOU TO THE TREE OF ETERNITY, AND A KINGDOM THAT WILL NEVER PERISH?''

فَأَکَلاَ مِنْهَا فَبَدَتْ لَهُمَا سَوْآتُهُمَا وَطَفِقَا یَخْصِفَانِ عَلَیْهِمَا مِنْ وَرَقِ الْجَنَّةِ وَعَصَى آدَمُ رَبَّهُ فَغَوَى(( 121 ))

121- SO BOTH OF THEM ATE OF IT, AND THEIR PRIVY PARTS APPEARED TO THEM, AND THEY BEGAN TO JOIN TOGETHER THE LEAVES OF THE GARDEN TO COVER THEMSELVES UP; AND ADAM DISOBEYED HIS LORD AND WAS SEDUCED.

ثُمَّ اجْتَبَاهُ رَبُّهُ فَتَابَ عَلَیْهِ وَهَدَى(( 122 ))

122- AFTER THAT, HIS LORD CHOSE HIM, AND ACCEPTED HIS REPENTANCE AND GUIDED (HIM).
