S:  And those who are constant, seeking the pleasure of their Lord, and keep up prayer and spend (benevolently) out of what We have given them secretly and openly and repel evil with good; as for those, they shall have the (happy) issue of the abode,

013.023 Y:  Gardens of perpetual bliss:  they shall enter there, as well as the righteous among their fathers, their spouses, and their offspring:  and angels shall enter unto them from every gate (with the salutation): 

P:  Gardens of Eden which they enter, along with all who do right of their fathers and their helpmeets and their seed.  The angels enter unto them from every gate,

S:  The gardens of perpetual abode which they will enter along with those who do good from among their parents and their spouses and their offspring; and the angels will enter in upon them from every gate: 

013.024 Y:  “Peace unto you for that ye persevered in patience!  Now how excellent is the final home!”

P:  (Saying):  Peace be unto you because ye persevered.  Ah, passing sweet will be the sequel of the (heavenly) Home.

S:  Peace be on you because you were constant, how excellent, is then, the issue of the abode.

013.025 Y:  But those who break the Covenant of Allah, after having plighted their word thereto, and cut asunder those things which Allah has commanded to be joined, and work mischief in the land;- on them is the curse; for them is the terrible home!

S:  And those who break the covenant of Allah after its confirmation and cut asunder that which Allah has ordered to be joined and make mischief in the land; (as for) those, upon them shall be curse and they shall have the evil (issue) of the abode.
