எனினும் அவ்விருவருக்கும் மறைந்திருந்த அவர்களுடைய (உடலை) மானத்தை அவர்களுக்கு வெளிப்படுத்தும் பொருட்டு ஷைத்தான் அவ்விருவரின் உள்ளங்களில் (தவறான எண்ணங்களை) ஊசலாடச் செய்தான்; (அவர்களை நோக்கி, "அதன் கனியை நீங்கள் புசித்தால்) நீங்கள் இருவரும் மலக்குகளாய் விடுவீர்கள், அல்லது (இச்சுவனபதியில்) என்றென்னும் தங்கிவிடுவீர்கள் என்பதற்காகவேயன்றி (வேறெதற்கும்,) இந்த மரத்தை விட்டும் உங்களை உங்கள் இறைவன் தடுக்கவில்லை" என்று கூறினான்.

ඔවුන් දෙදෙනාගේ රහස්‍ය පෙදෙස් ආවරණය කරනු ලැබූ දෑ ඔවුන් දෙදෙනාට හෙළි කිරීම සඳහා ෂෙයිතාන් ඔවුන් දෙදෙනාට කුකුස ඇති කළේ ය. තවද නුඹලා දෙදෙනා මලක්වරුන් දෙදෙනෙකු වනු ඇතැයි හෝ නුඹලා දෙදෙනා සදාතනිකයින් අතරින් වනු ඇතැයි යන හේතුවෙන් හෝ මිස නුඹලා දෙදෙනාගේ පරමාධිපති නුඹලා දෙදෙනාව මෙම ගසින් වැළැක්වූයේ නැතැයි ඔහු (ෂෙයිතාන්) පවසා සිටියේ ය.

پھر شیطان نے ان دونوں کے دلوں میں وسوسہ ڈاﻻ تاکہ ان کی شرمگاہیں جو ایک دوسرے سے پوشیده تھیں دونوں کے روبرو بے پرده کردے اور کہنے لگا کہ تمہارے رب نے تم دونوں کو اس درخت سے اور کسی سبب سے منع نہیں فرمایا، مگر محض اس وجہ سے کہ تم دونوں کہیں فرشتے ہوجاؤ یا کہیں ہمیشہ زنده رہنے والوں میں سے ہوجاؤ۔

その後悪魔〔シャイターン〕はかれらに囁き,今まで見えなかった恥かしいところを,あらわに示そうとして言った。「あなたがたの主が,この樹に近付くことを禁じられたのは,あなたがたが天使になり,または永遠に生きる(のを恐れられた)からである。」

. 但恶魔教唆他俩,以致为他俩显出他俩的被遮盖的阴部。他说:你俩的主禁你们俩吃这棵树的果实,只为不愿你俩变成天神,或永生不灭。

Tafsir of 7:20

Shaytan's Deceit with Adam and Hawwa' and Their eating from the Forbidden Tree Allah states that He allowed Adam and his wife to dwell in Paradise and to eat from all of its fruits, except one tree. We have already discussed this in Surat Al-Baqarah. Thus, Shaytan envied them and plotted deceitfully, whispering and suggesting treachery. He wished to rid them of the various favors and nice clothes that they were enjoying. وَقَالَ (He (Shaytan) said) uttering lies and falsehood, مَا نَهَكُمَا رَبُّكُمَا عَنْ هَذِهِ الشَّجَرَةِ إِلاَ أَن تَكُونَا مَلَكَيْنِ ("Your Lord did not forbid you this tree save you should become angels...") meaning, so that you do not become angels or dwell here for eternity. Surely, if you eat from this tree, you will attain both, he said. In another Ayah, قَالَ يَادَمُ هَلْ أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى شَجَرَةِ الْخُلْدِ وَمُلْكٍ لاَّ يَبْلَى (Shaytan whispered to him, saying: "O Adam! Shall I lead you to the Tree of Eternity and to a kingdom that will never waste away") 20:120. Here, the wording is similar, so it means, `so that you do not become angels' as in; يُبَيِّنُ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ أَن تَضِلُّواْ ((Thus) does Allah make clear to you (His Law) lest you go astray.…
