Here is an English-only, full text for Surah At Tahrim:
English Translation
1. O Prophet! Why do you ban (for yourself) that which Allah has made lawful to you, seeking to please your wives? And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
2. Allah has already ordained for you (O men), the dissolution of your oaths. And Allah is your Maula (Lord, or Master, or Protector, etc.) and He is the All-Knower, the All-Wise.
3. And (remember) when the Prophet ()
disclosed a matter in confidence to one of his wives (Hafsah), so when
she told it (to another i.e. 'Aishah), and Allah made it known to him,
he informed part thereof and left a part. Then when he told her (Hafsah)
thereof, she said: "Who told you this?" He said: "The All-Knower, the
All-Aware (Allah) has told me".
4. If you two (wives of the Prophet ,
namely 'Aishah and Hafsah) turn in repentance to Allah, (it will be
better for you), your hearts are indeed so inclined (to oppose what the
Prophet
likes), but if you help one another against him (Muhammad
), then verily, Allah is his Maula
(Lord, or Master, or Protector, etc.), and Jibrael (Gabriel), and the
righteous among the believers, and furthermore, the angels are his
helpers.
5. It may be if he divorced you (all) that his Lord will give him instead of you, wives better than you, Muslims (who submit to Allah), believers, obedient to Allah, turning to Allah in repentance, worshipping Allah sincerely, fasting or emigrants (for Allah's sake), previously married and virgins.
6. O you who believe! Ward off from yourselves and your families a Fire (Hell) whose fuel is men and stones, over which are (appointed) angels stern (and) severe, who disobey not, (from executing) the Commands they receive from Allah, but do that which they are commanded.
7. (It will be said in the Hereafter) O you who disbelieve (in the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism)! Make no excuses this Day! You are being requited only for what you used to do .
8. O
you who believe! Turn to Allah with sincere repentance! It may be that
your Lord will remit from you your sins, and admit you into Gardens
under which rivers flow (Paradise) the Day that Allah will not disgrace
the Prophet (Muhammad )
and those who believe with him, their Light will run forward before
them and with (their Records Books of deeds) in their right hands they
will say: "Our Lord! Keep perfect our Light for us [and do not put it
off till we cross over the Sirat (a slippery bridge over the Hell) safely] and grant us forgiveness. Verily, You are Able to do all things ."
9. O Prophet (Muhammad )!
Strive hard against the disbelievers and the hypocrites, and be severe
against them, their abode will be Hell, and worst indeed is that
destination.
10. Allah sets forth an example for those who disbelieve, the wife of Nuh (Noah) and the wife of Lout (Lot). They were under two of our righteous slaves, but they both betrayed their (husbands by rejecting their doctrine) so they [Nuh (Noah) and Lout (Lot)] benefited them (their respective wives) not, against Allah, and it was said: "Enter the Fire along with those who enter!"
11. And Allah has set forth an example for those who believe, the wife of Fir'aun (Pharaoh), when she said: "My Lord! Build for me a home with You in Paradise, and save me from Fir'aun (Pharaoh) and his work, and save me from the people who are Zalimun (polytheists, wrong-doers and disbelievers in Allah).
12. And Maryam (Mary), the daughter of 'Imran who guarded her chastity; and We breathed into (the sleeve of her shirt or her garment) through Our Ruh [i.e. Jibrael (Gabriel)], and she testified to the truth of the Words of her Lord [i.e. believed in the Words of Allah: "Be!" and he was; that is 'Iesa (Jesus) - son of Maryam (Mary); as a Messenger of Allah], and (also believed in) His Scriptures, and she was of the Qanitin (i.e. obedient to Allah).
