يا يَحيىٰ خُذِ الكِتابَ بِقُوَّةٍ ۖ وَآتَيناهُ الحُكمَ صَبِيًّا
[Allah] said, "O John, take the Scripture with determination." And We gave him judgement [while yet] a boy
وَحَنانًا مِن لَدُنّا وَزَكاةً ۖ وَكانَ تَقِيًّا
And affection from Us and purity, and he was fearing of Allah
وَبَرًّا بِوالِدَيهِ وَلَم يَكُن جَبّارًا عَصِيًّا
And dutiful to his parents, and he was not a disobedient tyrant.
وَسَلامٌ عَلَيهِ يَومَ وُلِدَ وَيَومَ يَموتُ وَيَومَ يُبعَثُ حَيًّا
And peace be upon him the day he was born and the day he dies and the day he is raised alive.
وَاذكُر فِي الكِتابِ مَريَمَ إِذِ انتَبَذَت مِن أَهلِها مَكانًا شَرقِيًّا
And mention, [O Muhammad], in the Book [the story of] Mary, when she withdrew from her family to a place toward the east.
فَاتَّخَذَت مِن دونِهِم حِجابًا فَأَرسَلنا إِلَيها روحَنا فَتَمَثَّلَ لَها بَشَرًا سَوِيًّا
And she took, in seclusion from them, a screen. Then We sent to her Our Angel, and he represented himself to her as a well-proportioned man.
قالَت إِنّي أَعوذُ بِالرَّحمـٰنِ مِنكَ إِن كُنتَ تَقِيًّا
She said, "Indeed, I seek refuge in the Most Merciful from you, [so leave me], if you should be fearing of Allah."
قالَ إِنَّما أَنا رَسولُ رَبِّكِ لِأَهَبَ لَكِ غُلامًا زَكِيًّا
He said, "I am only the messenger of your Lord to give you [news of] a pure boy."
قالَت أَنّىٰ يَكونُ لي غُلامٌ وَلَم يَمسَسني بَشَرٌ وَلَم أَكُ بَغِيًّا
She said, "How can I have a boy while no man has touched me and I have not been unchaste?"
قالَ كَذٰلِكِ قالَ رَبُّكِ هُوَ عَلَيَّ هَيِّنٌ ۖ وَلِنَجعَلَهُ آيَةً لِلنّاسِ وَرَحمَةً مِنّا ۚ وَكانَ أَمرًا مَقضِيًّا
He said, "Thus [it will be]; your Lord says, 'It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign to the people and a mercy from Us. And it is a matter [already] decreed.' "
فَحَمَلَتهُ فَانتَبَذَت بِهِ مَكانًا قَصِيًّا
So she conceived him, and she withdrew with him to a remote place.
