[19.16] And mention in the Book, Mary, how she withdrew from her people to an eastern place and she took a veil apart from them; [19.17] We sent to her Our Spirit (Gabriel) in the resemblance of a perfect human. [19.18] (And when she saw him) she said: I take refuge in the Merciful from you! If you are fearful. [19.19] I am the Messenger of your Lord, he replied, and have come to give you a pure boy. [19.20] How shall I bear a son, she answered, when I am not touched by a human and not unchaste? [19.21] Even so he replied, as such your Lord has said: Easy it is for Me. And We shall make him a sign to mankind and a mercy from Us. It is a matter decreed. [19.22] Thereupon she carried him, and retired to a far off place. [19.23] And when the birthpangs came upon her by the trunk of a palmtree, she said: Oh, would that I had died before this and become a thing forgotten! [19.24] He called from below to her: Do not sorrow, look, your Lord has provided a rivulet below you, [19.25] and shake the trunk of this palmtree it will drop fresh ripe dates upon you. [19.26] Therefore eat and drink and rejoice with your eyes. If you meet any human say to him: I have vowed a fast to the Merciful and will not speak with anyone today. [19.27] She came to her nation, carrying him; and they said: O Mary, you have committed a monstrous thing. [19.28] O sister of Aaron, your father was never an evil man, nor was your mother unchaste. [19.29] So she pointed to him (Prophet Jesus). But they replied: How can we speak with a baby in the cradle? [19.30] He (the baby) said: I am the worshiper of Allah. Allah has given me the Book and made me a Prophet. [19.31] He made me to be blessed wherever I am, and He has charged me with prayer and charity for as long as I shall live. [19.32] (He has made me) kind to my mother; He has not made me arrogant, unprosperous. [19.33] Peace be upon me on the day I was born, and on the day I die; and on the day when I shall be raised up alive. [19.34] Such was (Prophet) Jesus, the son of Mary. A saying of truth, concerning what they doubt. [19.35] It is not for Allah to take a son! Exaltations to Him! When He decrees a thing He only says: Be, and it is. [19.36] Indeed, Allah is my Lord and your Lord therefore worship Him. That is the Straight Path. [19.37] But the parties have fallen into variance among themselves, then woe to those who disbelieve for the scene of a Dreadful Day. [19.38] How well they will hear and see on the Day when they come before Us! The evildoers are today in clear error. [19.39] Warn them of that Day of Anguish, when the matter is determined whilst heedlessly they disbelieve. [19.40] For We shall inherit the earth and all that are on it. To Us, they shall return.
