Salaam all,

Qala qad waqaAAa AAalaykum min rabbikum rijsun waghadabun atujadiloonanee fee asmain sammaytumooha antum waabaokum ma nazzala Allahu biha min sultanin faintathiroo innee maAAakum mina almuntathireena

The Aya says:
He responded: Has befallen upon you (plural) from your nurturing Lord punishment and clear displeasure. Do you argue with me about apellations you made up you and your forefathers while Allah did not bring down in it any proof/license?! Then wait, I am with you amongst the waiting.

My personal note:
I translated the term RIJS as punishment or deserving of punishment related to the term and how it is used. GHADAB was translated as clear displeasure because the term shows evidence of the anger and the dipleasure so it is not hidden anymore.

The term asma Sammaytumuha was translated as appellations or designations that you made up. The reason is that ISM is used for name but it is also how you call an entity by what accurately describes it. So, in their case they gave attributes that either do not exist or are inappropriate to the entities that they worshipped and they knew that they were inappropriate.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Qala: He said/ communicated
Note: QALA is derived from the root Qaf-W-L and it means saying in any way possible. QALA is an action that is completed that is derived from the root. It means the action of saying happened by the subject (third person singular). This, in turn means: He said or responded or communicated.
Qad: indeed/ actually
waqaAAa: fell/ took effect
Note: the root is W-Qaf-Ain and it means one entity falling on another, mainly things falling on the ground and causing a sound or effect. It is often used for the raining hitting the ground. Conceptually, it is used for falling and also for taking effect or making an effect on another entity. WAQaAAa is an action that is completed. It means: the action of taking effect or falling happened by the subject (ajruhu= his reward/ compensation)

Rijsun: punishment/ deserving of punishment
Note: the root is R-J-S and it is anything that is dirty and contains harm. Conceptually, it is then used for sinful acts, harmful acts or any form of painful punishment and so on. RIJSUN in this context means the painful punishment and so on or deserving of punishment.

Waghadabun: and/ including revealed anger/ clear displeasure
Note: WA is a letter that links what is before with what is after. This link is through inclusion, either one is included in the other or they are all included in the bigger sentence or bigger picture. WA often corresponds with “and/ addition” but the more encompassing meaning is in inclusion one in another or all in a bigger picture or sentence. GHADABUN is derived from the root Ghain-Dhad-B and it means in one of the concrete meanings red or turning red. So, conceptually, it carries the meaning of revealing anger or displeasure. GHADABUN means revealed anger/ displeasure.

Note: A reveals a question that also includes criticism. TUJADILOONANEE is derived from the root J-D-L The concrete word is braiding of the hair.

Qaloo ajitana linaAAbuda Allaha wahdahu wanathara ma kana yaAAbudu abaona fatina bima taAAiduna in kunta mina alssadiqeena

The Aya says:
They responded: “Did you come to us in order that we worship only Allah and abandon what our ancestors worshipped?! Then bring us what you promise us if you were amongst the truthful ones!!”

My personal note:
They did bring a classic response and that is appeal to ancestors and tradition as their main reason for not wanting to follow his idea of worshipping the only one God. They then challenged him to bring what he promised them (which is punishment from Allah as he warned them in the previous Aya).

The term FATINA BIMA is interesting because the use of the BI here served to make what follows it as something that is associated with the subject. So, it literally will translate as: “Come to us with/ carrying/ bringing with you what you promised”. This feature and use of the BI sometimes happen when the verb does not have an object generally like ATY= come or to add another object to the verb or make what follows the BI something that is linked to the subject and the action. It eventually translates then as “Bring us”

Translation of the transliterated words:
