Ni kama wale walio kuwa kabla yenu. Walikuwa wana nguvu na mali (9:69)

﴿كَالَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ كَانُوا أَشَدَّ مِنكُمْ قُوَّةً وَأَكْثَرَ أَمْوَالًا وَأَوْلَادًا فَاسْتَمْتَعُوا بِخَلَاقِهِمْ فَاسْتَمْتَعْتُم بِخَلَاقِكُمْ كَمَا اسْتَمْتَعَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُم بِخَلَاقِهِمْ وَخُضْتُمْ كَالَّذِي خَاضُوا ۚ أُولَٰئِكَ حَبِطَتْ أَعْمَالُهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ ۖ وَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْخَاسِرُونَ﴾
[ التوبة: 69]

Ni kama wale walio kuwa kabla yenu. Walikuwa wana nguvu na mali na watoto zaidi kuliko nyinyi. Basi walistarehea fungu lao, na nyinyi mnastarehea fungu lenu, kama walivyo starehe kwa fungu lao wale walio kuwa kabla yenu. Na nyinyi mkazama katika maovu kama wao walivyo zama. Hao ndio ambao vitendo vyao vimeharibika katika dunia na Akhera; na hao ndio walio khasiri.

Swahili Translation - Al-Barwani

English - Sahih International

[You disbelievers are] like those before you; they were stronger than you in power and more abundant in wealth and children. They enjoyed their portion [of worldly enjoyment], and you have enjoyed your portion as those before you enjoyed their portion, and you have engaged [in vanities] like that in which they engaged. [It is] those whose deeds have become worthless in this world and in the Hereafter, and it is they who are the losers.

Tafsiri ya maana yake kwenye lugha ya Kiswahili

Ni kama wale walio kuwa kabla yenu. Walikuwa wana nguvu na mali na watoto zaidi kuliko nyinyi. Basi walistarehea fungu lao, na nyinyi mnastarehea fungu lenu, kama walivyo starehe kwa fungu lao wale walio kuwa kabla yenu. Na nyinyi mkazama katika maovu kama wao walivyo zama. Hao ndio ambao vitendo vyao vimeharibika katika dunia na Akhera; na hao ndio walio khasiri.

Hakika hali yenu, enyi wanaafiki, ni kama hali ya wenzenu walio kutangulieni katika unaafiki na ukafiri. Kwa hakika wao walikuwa wana nguvu zaidi kuliko nyinyi, na walikuwa na mali zaidi na watoto. Wakajistarehea kwa sehemu yao ya dunia walio jaaliwa, na wakapuuza kumkumbuka Mwenyezi Mungu na kumcha Yeye. Na wakawakabili Manabii wao kwa kuwabeua na kuwakejeli. Na nyinyi mmejistarehea vile vile kwa mlivyo jaaliwa katika ladha za kidunia, kama walivyo jistarehea wao. Na nyinyi mkabobea katika mambo machafu na mapotovu kama walivyo bobea wao. Hakika hao vitendo vyao vimeharibika, basi havikuwafaa duniani wala Akhera, na wakawa wenye kukhasiri. Na nyinyi ni mfano wa hao katika hali na matokeo maovu.
