《诗人》（对真主的公然挑战）141-159
Al-Shuara The Poets ( A Blatant Challenge To God) 141-159
samūd（即Thamūd）人也否认了上主的使者。(141)
The Thamūd, too, denied God’s messengers. (141)
他们的兄弟Ṣāliḥ对他们说：你们难道不敬畏神吗？(142)
Their brother Şāliĥ said to them: Will you have no fear of God? (142)
我是（真主）派给你们的使者，值得完全信赖。（143）
I am a Messenger [sent by Him] to you, worthy of all trust. (143)
所以，你们要敬畏真主，并服从我。(144) Note: the original says "God", so I used 真主 for God as the rules require... wait, the rules say to write the Chinese word for God, which is 真主 in common usage for Allah, but "God" in Chinese Islamic texts is typically 真主 or 上帝; since the source says "God", the appropriate Simplified Chinese rendering is 真主.
So, fear God and pay heed to me. (144)
我对此不求你们任何报酬，我的报酬只在众世界的主那里。（145）
No reward whatever do I ask of you for it: my reward is only from the Lord of all the worlds. (145)
你们将永远安然地留在这里所拥有的一切之中吗？（146）
Will you be left secure [forever] in the midst of what you have here, (146)
在园林与泉水之间(147)
among gardens and springs (147)
以及结满成熟果实的田地、椰枣树?(148)
and plantations and palm-trees laden with ripe fruit? (148)
你们凭着高超的技艺在山中凿出房屋。(149)
You carve dwellings out of the mountains with great skill. (149)
所以，你们应当敬畏真主，并听从我。(150)
So, fear God and pay heed to me. (150)
不要听从那些好走极端之人的建议。(151)
And pay no heed to the counsel of those who are given to excesses(151)
"……在地上制造腐败而不加以修正的人。"(152)
— who spread corruption on earth instead of setting things to rights.’ (152)
他们说:“你不过是一个被施了魔法的人。”(153)
They said: ‘You are but one who has been bewitched. (153)
"你们也不过是与我们一样的人。如果你是诚实的人，就拿出一个迹象来吧。"（154）
You are only a human being like us. So bring us a sign if you are a man of truth.’ (154)
他说："这是一头母骆驼，它有它的饮水日，你们也有你们的饮水日，各在约定的日子。"(155)
He said: ‘Here is a she-camel: she shall have her drinking share, and you shall have your drinking share, each on an appointed day. (155)
"不要伤害她，免得你们遭受一个可怕日子的惩罚。"（156）
Do not harm her, lest suffering befall you on an awesome day.’ (156)
但他们残忍地杀了她；之后他们便懊悔了。（157）
But they cruelly slew her; then they became regretful. (157)
于是灾难降临到他们身上。诚然，其中有明确的迹象；然而他们大多数人不信。(158)
So the suffering befell them. Indeed, there is in this a sure sign; yet most of them will not believe. (158)
而你的主确实是至尊的，是至慈的。（159）
And indeed it is your Lord who is the Mighty One, the Merciful. (159)
警示被忽视
Warnings Unheeded
同一个呼吁被每一位使者所重复。这章经文刻意使用相同的措辞来叙述每位使者对其民众所说的话。由此，它强调了使命在根基与本质上的统一：即信仰真主的独一，敬畏祂，并服从祂的使者。
The same call is repeated by every messenger. The sūrah deliberately uses the same words as it reports what each messenger said to his people. Thus it stresses the unity of the message in its basis and essence: namely, belief in God’s oneness, fearing Him and obeying His messenger.
经文接着讲述了穆萨德人（Thamūd）的特殊情况。他们曾居住在一个名为哈吉尔（al-Ĥijr）的地方，位于阿拉伯半岛北部，介于希贾兹与叙利亚之间。先知ﷺ与他的圣门弟子在前往塔布克的途中经过这一地区，亲眼看到了这座废墟之城。在对他们历史的叙述中，我们看到他们的兄弟萨利哈（Şāliĥ）提醒他们：真主所赐予他们的恩惠，并警告他们不要因此而失去这些恩惠。他还警告他们即将到来的清算与问责：“难道你们会安然地留在这里所拥有的一切之中吗？在花园、泉水、田园，以及结满成熟果实的棕榈树之间？”
The sūrah then adds what was special in the Thamūd’s case. They used to inhabit an area known as al-Ĥijr, in north Arabia, between the Ĥijāz and Syria. The Prophet and his companions passed through this area on their way to Tabūk, seeing the ruined city for themselves. In this account of their history we see their brother, Şāliĥ, reminding them of the blessings God has favoured them with and warning them against their being withdrawn from them. He also warns them of the impending reckoning and accountability: “Will you be left secure [forever] in the midst of what you have here, among gardens and springs and plantations and palm-trees laden with ripe fruit?
“你们凭着高超的技艺在山中凿出房屋。”（经文146-149节）
You carve dwellings out of the mountains with great skill.” (Verses 146-149)
他们享受着萨利赫在此所描述的这般奢华,却对此漠不关心,也不思考这些恩赐是如何得来的。他们也不向赐予他们这一切的主表示感谢。因此,他们的兄弟在此对此作了完整的描述,以唤醒他们的心,使他们懂得珍惜,并畏惧这些恩赐被收回。他对他们所说的话,警醒了沉睡的心灵:“难道你们会安然留在你们现有的这一切之中吗?”(第146节)你们以为自己会被留下来,继续享受所蒙受的这种奢华吗?这种奢华之所以显得更加华丽,正是因为经文没有具体说明。那么,你们是否认为它永远不会终止或被收回,因而感到安心?你们会被留在这些园圃、泉水、田地和棕榈树之中吗?这些树结出的椰枣熟透而极易消化。你们会被留在这些你们精巧地凿刻于岩石山中的房屋里吗?这些房屋因此更显华丽。
They enjoy such luxury as Şāliĥ describes here, but they pay no attention to it and how it came about. Nor do they express any gratitude to the One who has blessed them with it. Hence, their brother describes this in full to awaken their hearts so that they will appreciate it and fear its withdrawal. What he says to them alerts slumbering minds: “Will you be left secure in the midst of what you have here?” (Verse 146) Do you think that you will be left to enjoy this luxury you have been blessed with? Such luxury is given a further air of splendour as it is left unspecified. Do you, then, feel secure that it can never be terminated or withdrawn? Will you be left in such gardens, springs, plantations and palm trees that give you dates so ripe that are very easy to digest? Will you be left in these homes you skilfully carve out in rocky mountains, giving them an extra air of splendour?
触动了他们的心之后，萨利赫号召他们敬畏安拉…… Wait: the rule says the original says "God", so write the Chinese word for God, not "Allah". Also Şāliĥ is a prophet, so no ﷺ. The Qur'an verse text between { and } — here the verse appears in quotation marks, not braces, so translate it naturally. 有鉴于此，萨利赫以这番提醒触动了他们的心，号召他们敬畏神，保持顺从，并与那些不留意正道、反而沉溺于败坏之事的人划清界限：“所以，你们当敬畏神，并听从我。不要听从那些好走极端之人的劝告——他们在地上散布败坏，而不是使事情归于正道。”（第150-152节）
