‘alainaa bi’azeez
The Aya says:
They responded: “O Shuaib, we do not understand much of
what you say. And we look at you as
being weak, and if not for your group then we would have kicked you out and you
are not worthy/ powerful to us.
My personal note:
The people are letting him know that they look down at
him and that they tolerate him for his group that may support him which can be
a family or clan or other forms of support.
I translated the last word Azeez as worthy because that can be part of
the meaning of the word as great status and respect and so on. It also can mean someone who is very strong
and is difficult to defeat and pressure and so on. Both meanings can apply.
Translation of the transliterated words:
Qaaloo: they said/ they claimed/ they responded
Note: QALOO is derived from the root Qaf-W-L and it means saying in any way
possible. QALOO is an action that is completed that is derived from the root.
It means the action of saying happened by the subject (third person plural).
This, in turn means: they said or claimed.
Yaa: O
Shu'aybu: Shuaib
Maa: not
Nafqahu: We understand/ We grasp
Note:
the root is F-Qaf-H and it means understanding. NAFQAHU is an action that is
being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of understanding the
object (Katheeran= a lot of) is happening or will be happening by the subject
(first person plural).
Katheeran: a lot of
Note:
KATHEERAN is derived from the root K-TH-R and it means many or numerous in all
the planes of thought. KATHEERAN means a lot of.
Mimmaa: of what
Taqoolu: you
(singular) say
Note:
TAQOOLU is derived from the root Qaf-W-L and it means saying or communicating in
any way possible whether in words or otherwise. TAQOOLU is an action that is
being completed or will be completed that is derived from the root. It means
the action of saying is happening or will be happening by the subject (second
person singular).
Wa: and
Innaa: we
Lanaraaka: indeed see you/ consider you
Note: LA is for emphasis.
Naraka is derived from the root R-Hamza-Y and it means viewing or seeing. NARA
is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action
of seeing the object (KA=singular you) will be happening by the subject (first
person plural)
Feenaa: within us/ amongst us
da’eefan: weak
Note:
the root is Dhad-Ain-F and it means in concrete, when the thing is folded upon
itself, therefore giving two potential meanings for the derivatives, one is
weakness, since the weak gets folded and the other is equal or multiplied since
the folding of one object becomes two. In this context it is pointing to
weakness/ powerlessness. DaEEFAN means weak.
wa law laa: and if not for
rahtuka: your people/ your tribe/ group/
supporters/ backers
Note: the root is R-H-TTA and it means a small grouping
of men mainly. RAHTU means group
of. KA means singular you.
Larajamnaaka: we would have kicked you
out/ we would have chased you away
Note:
LA here is a response to the conditional.
RAJAMNAKA is derived from The root R-J-M and it means throwing stones.
It is used for stoning to kill someone or throwing stones to make someone not
come near and so forth. LARAJAMNAKA is a conditional response that means
then we would have kicked you out/ chased you away.
Wa: and
Maaa: not
Anta: you (singular)
‘alainaa: upon us/ on us
bi’azeez: strong/ worthy/ dominant/
Note: BI signifies an attachment or close linkage between
what is before and what is after it. In
a Verbal sentence it can mean attachment to the action or to the subject as it
does the action. This attachment can
then signify many things according to the verb and to the sentence and so
on. In here it adds emphasis. aAAZEEZ is derived from the root Ain-Z-Z and it means
the hard earth that will not yield under the rain and therefore, will make the
rain water flow rather than seep or cause the earth to erode. It is used for
entities that are strong and defeat pressure, basically the combination of
strength and dominance. aAAZEEZ means strong/ worthy/ dominant.
