وَإِذْ And when wa-idh said qālati the Angels l-malāikatu O Maryam yāmaryamu Indeed inna Allah l-laha (has) chosen you iṣ'ṭafāki and purified you waṭahharaki and chosen you wa-iṣ'ṭafāki over ʿalā (the) women nisāi (of) the worlds l-ʿālamīna
Y [recuerda] cuando los ángeles dijeron: “¡María! Dios te ha elegido por tus virtudes y te ha purificado. Te ha elegido entre todas las mujeres del mundo.
يَـٰمَرْيَمُ O Maryam yāmaryamu Be obedient uq'nutī to your Lord lirabbiki and prostrate wa-us'judī and bow down wa-ir'kaʿī with maʿa those who bow down l-rākiʿīna
¡María! Conságrate a tu Señor, prostérnate e inclínate con los orantes”.
ذَٰلِكَ That dhālika (is) from min (the) news anbāi (of) the unseen l-ghaybi We reveal it nūḥīhi to you ilayka And not wamā you were kunta with them ladayhim when idh they cast yul'qūna their pens aqlāmahum (as to) which of them ayyuhum takes charge (of) yakfulu Maryam maryama and not wamā you were kunta with them ladayhim when idh they (were) disputing yakhtaṣimūna
[¡Oh, Muhámmad!] Éstas son historias que te he revelado porque no eran conocidas [por tu gente]. Tú no estabas presente cuando sorteaban con sus plumas [de escritura] quién de ellos sería el tutor de María, ni tampoco cuando se lo disputaban.
