بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful.
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اَوْفُوْا بِالْعُقُوْدِ۬ؕ-اُحِلَّتْ لَكُمْ بَهِیْمَةُ الْاَنْعَامِ اِلَّا مَا یُتْلٰى عَلَیْكُمْ غَیْرَ مُحِلِّی الصَّیْدِ وَ اَنْتُمْ حُرُمٌؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ یَحْكُمُ مَا یُرِیْدُ(۱)
O YOU WHO believe, fulfil your obligations. Made lawful (as food) for you are animals except those mentioned (here); but unlawful during Pilgrimage is game. God ordains whatsoever He wills.
O believers, fulfil your bonds. Permitted to you is the beast of the flocks, except that which is now recited to you, so that you deem not game permitted to be hunted when you are in pilgrim sanctity. God decrees whatsoever He desires.
یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا تُحِلُّوْا شَعَآىٕرَ اللّٰهِ وَ لَا الشَّهْرَ الْحَرَامَ وَ لَا الْهَدْیَ وَ لَا الْقَلَآىٕدَ وَ لَاۤ ﰰ مِّیْنَ الْبَیْتَ الْحَرَامَ یَبْتَغُوْنَ فَضْلًا مِّنْ رَّبِّهِمْ وَ رِضْوَانًاؕ-وَ اِذَا حَلَلْتُمْ فَاصْطَادُوْاؕ-وَ لَا یَجْرِمَنَّكُمْ شَنَاٰنُ قَوْمٍ اَنْ صَدُّوْكُمْ عَنِ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ اَنْ تَعْتَدُوْاۘ-وَ تَعَاوَنُوْا عَلَى الْبِرِّ وَ التَّقْوٰى ۪-وَ لَا تَعَاوَنُوْا عَلَى الْاِثْمِ وَ الْعُدْوَانِ۪- وَ اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ شَدِیْدُ الْعِقَابِ(۲)
O you who believe, do not violate the (sanctity of) offerings to God, nor the rites of the holy month, nor sacrificial cattle with garlands (that are brought to the Ka´bah), nor of the people who flock to the Holy House seeking the bounties of their Lord, and His pleasure. Hunt when you have laid aside the robe of the pilgrim. And do not let your hatred of a people who had barred you from the Holy Mosque lead you to aggression. But help one another in goodness and piety, and do not assist in crime and rebellion, and fear God. Surely God is severe in punishment.
O believers, profane not God's waymarks nor the holy month, neither the offering, nor the necklaces, nor those repairing to the Holy House seeking from their Lord bounty and good pleasure. But when you have quit your pilgrim sanctity, then hunt for game. Let not detestation for a people who barred you from the Holy Mosque move you to commit aggression. Help one another to piety and godfearing; do not help each other to sin and enmity. And fear God; surely God is terrible in retribution.
حُرِّمَتْ عَلَیْكُمُ الْمَیْتَةُ وَ الدَّمُ وَ لَحْمُ الْخِنْزِیْرِ وَ مَاۤ اُهِلَّ لِغَیْرِ اللّٰهِ بِهٖ وَ الْمُنْخَنِقَةُ وَ الْمَوْقُوْذَةُ وَ الْمُتَرَدِّیَةُ وَ النَّطِیْحَةُ وَ مَاۤ اَكَلَ السَّبُعُ اِلَّا مَا ذَكَّیْتُمْ- وَ مَا ذُبِحَ عَلَى النُّصُبِ وَ اَنْ تَسْتَقْسِمُوْا بِالْاَزْلَامِؕ-ذٰلِكُمْ فِسْقٌؕ-اَلْیَوْمَ یَىٕسَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا مِنْ دِیْنِكُمْ فَلَا تَخْشَوْهُمْ وَ اخْشَوْنِؕ-اَلْیَوْمَ اَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِیْنَكُمْ وَ اَتْمَمْتُ عَلَیْكُمْ نِعْمَتِیْ وَ رَضِیْتُ لَكُمُ الْاِسْلَامَ دِیْنًاؕ-فَمَنِ اضْطُرَّ فِیْ مَخْمَصَةٍ غَیْرَ مُتَجَانِفٍ لِّاِثْمٍۙ-فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ(۳)
Forbidden you is carrion and blood, and the flesh of the swine, and whatsoever has been killed in the name of some other than God, and whatever has been strangled, or killed by a blow or a fall, or by goring, or that which has been mauled by wild beasts unless slaughtered while still alive; and that which has been slaughtered at altars is forbidden, and also dividing the meat by casting lots with arrows. All this is sinful. Today the unbelievers have lost every hope of (despoiling) your creed; so do not fear them, fear Me. Today I have perfected your system of belief and bestowed My favours upon you in full, and have chosen submission (al-Islam) as the creed for you. If one of you is driven by hunger (to eat the forbidden) without the evil intent of sinning, then God is forgiving and kind.
Forbidden to you are carrion, blood, the flesh of swine, what has been hallowed to other than God, the beast strangled; the beast beaten down, the beast fallen to death, the beast gored, and that devoured by beasts of prey - excepting that you have sacrificed duly -- as also things sacrificed to idols, and partition by the divining arrows; that is ungodliness. Today the unbelievers have despaired of your religion; therefore fear them not, but fear you Me. Today I have perfected your religion for you, and I have completed My blessing upon you, and I have approved Islam for your religion. But whosoever is constrained in emptiness and not inclining purposely to sin -- God is All-forgiving, All-compassionate.
یَسْــٴَـلُوْنَكَ مَا ذَاۤ اُحِلَّ لَهُمْؕ-قُلْ اُحِلَّ لَكُمُ الطَّیِّبٰتُۙ-وَ مَا عَلَّمْتُمْ مِّنَ الْجَوَارِ حِ مُكَلِّبِیْنَ تُعَلِّمُوْنَهُنَّ مِمَّا عَلَّمَكُمُ اللّٰهُ٘-فَكُلُوْا مِمَّاۤ اَمْسَكْنَ عَلَیْكُمْ وَ اذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْهِ۪-وَ اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ سَرِیْعُ الْحِسَابِ(۴)
They ask you what is lawful for them. Say: "All things are lawful for you that are clean, and what the trained hunting animals take for you as you have trained then, in the light of God´s teachings, but read over them the name of God, and fear (straying from the path of) God, for God is swift in the reckoning."
They will question thee what is permitted them. Say: 'The good things are permitted you; and such hunting creatures as you teach, training them as hounds, and teaching them as God has taught you -- eat what they seize for you, and mention God's Name over it. Fear God; God is swift at the reckoning.'
اَلْیَوْمَ اُحِلَّ لَكُمُ الطَّیِّبٰتُؕ-وَ طَعَامُ الَّذِیْنَ اُوْتُوا الْكِتٰبَ حِلٌّ لَّكُمْ۪-وَ طَعَامُكُمْ حِلٌّ لَّهُمْ٘-وَ الْمُحْصَنٰتُ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنٰتِ وَ الْمُحْصَنٰتُ مِنَ الَّذِیْنَ اُوْتُوا الْكِتٰبَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ اِذَاۤ اٰتَیْتُمُوْهُنَّ اُجُوْرَهُنَّ مُحْصِنِیْنَ غَیْرَ مُسٰفِحِیْنَ وَ لَا مُتَّخِذِیْۤ اَخْدَانٍؕ-وَ مَنْ یَّكْفُرْ بِالْاِیْمَانِ فَقَدْ حَبِطَ عَمَلُهٗ٘-وَ هُوَ فِی الْاٰخِرَةِ مِنَ الْخٰسِرِیْنَ۠(۵)
On this day all things that are clean have been made lawful for you; and made lawful for you is the food of the people of the Book, as your food is made lawful for them. And lawful are the chaste Muslim women, and the women of the people of the Book who are chaste, (for marriage) and not fornication or liaison, if you give them their dowries. Useless shall be rendered the acts of those who turn back on their faith, and they will be among the losers in the life to come.
Today the good things are permitted you, and the food of those who were given the Book is permitted to you, and permitted to them is your food; Likewise believing women in wedlock, and in wedlock women of them who were given the Book before you if you give them their wages, in wedlock and not in licence, or as taking lovers. Whoso disbelieves in the faith, his work has failed, and in the world to come he shall be among the losers.
یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اِذَا قُمْتُمْ اِلَى الصَّلٰوةِ فَاغْسِلُوْا وُجُوْهَكُمْ وَ اَیْدِیَكُمْ اِلَى الْمَرَافِقِ وَ امْسَحُوْا بِرُءُوْسِكُمْ وَ اَرْجُلَكُمْ اِلَى الْكَعْبَیْنِؕ-وَ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ جُنُبًا فَاطَّهَّرُوْاؕ-وَ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مَّرْضٰۤى اَوْ عَلٰى سَفَرٍ اَوْ جَآءَ اَحَدٌ مِّنْكُمْ مِّنَ الْغَآىٕطِ اَوْ لٰمَسْتُمُ النِّسَآءَ فَلَمْ تَجِدُوْا مَآءً فَتَیَمَّمُوْا صَعِیْدًا طَیِّبًا فَامْسَحُوْا بِوُجُوْهِكُمْ وَ اَیْدِیْكُمْ مِّنْهُؕ-مَا یُرِیْدُ اللّٰهُ لِیَجْعَلَ عَلَیْكُمْ مِّنْ حَرَجٍ وَّ لٰكِنْ یُّرِیْدُ لِیُطَهِّرَكُمْ وَ لِیُتِمَّ نِعْمَتَهٗ عَلَیْكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُوْنَ(۶)
O believers, when you stand up for the service of prayer wash your faces and hands up to elbows, and also wipe your heads, and wash your feet up to the ankles. If you are in a state of seminal pollution, then bathe and purify yourself well. But in case you are ill or are travelling, or you have satisfied the call of nature, or have slept with a woman, and you cannot find water, then take wholesome dust and pass it over your face and your hands, for God does not wish to impose any hardship on you. He wishes to purify you, and grace you with His favours in full so that you may be grateful.
O believers, when you stand up to pray wash your faces, and your hands up to the elbows, and wipe your heads, and your feet up to the ankles. If you are defiled, purify yourselves; but if you are sick or on a journey, or if any of you comes from the privy, or you have touched women, and you can find no water, then have recourse to wholesome dust and wipe your faces and your hands with it. God does not desire to make any impediment for you; but He desires to purify you, and that He may complete His blessing upon you; haply you will be thankful.
وَ اذْكُرُوْا نِعْمَةَ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْكُمْ وَ مِیْثَاقَهُ الَّذِیْ وَاثَقَكُمْ بِهٖۤۙ-اِذْ قُلْتُمْ سَمِعْنَا وَ اَطَعْنَا٘-وَ اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلِیْمٌۢ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُوْرِ(۷)
Remember the favours He bestowed on you, and the covenant He cemented with you, when you said: "We have heard and obey." Have fear of God, for He knows the secrets of your heart.
And remember God's blessing upon you, and His compact which He made with you when you said, 'We have heard and we obey. And fear you God; surely God knows the thoughts in the breasts.
یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا كُوْنُوْا قَوّٰمِیْنَ لِلّٰهِ شُهَدَآءَ بِالْقِسْطِ٘-وَ لَا یَجْرِمَنَّكُمْ شَنَاٰنُ قَوْمٍ عَلٰۤى اَلَّا تَعْدِلُوْاؕ-اِعْدِلُوْا- هُوَ اَقْرَبُ لِلتَّقْوٰى٘-وَ اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ خَبِیْرٌۢ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ(۸)
O you who believe, stand up as witnesses for God in all fairness, and do not let the hatred of a people deviate you from justice. Be just: This is closest to piety; and beware of God. Surely God is aware of all you do.
O believers, be you securers of justice, witnesses for God. Let not detestation for a people move you not to be equitable; be equitable -- that is nearer to godfearing. And fear God; surely God is aware of the things you do.
وَعَدَ اللّٰهُ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِۙ-لَهُمْ مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَّ اَجْرٌ عَظِیْمٌ(۹)
God has made a promise of forgiveness and the highest reward to those who believe and perform good deeds.
God has promised those that believe, and do deeds of righteousness; they shall have; forgiveness and a mighty wage.
وَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا وَ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰیٰتِنَاۤ اُولٰٓىٕكَ اَصْحٰبُ الْجَحِیْمِ(۱۰)
But those who disbelieve and deny Our revelations are the people of Hell.
And the unbelievers, who cried lies to Our signs -- they shall be the inhabitants of Hell.
یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوا اذْكُرُوْا نِعْمَتَ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْكُمْ اِذْ هَمَّ قَوْمٌ اَنْ یَّبْسُطُوْۤا اِلَیْكُمْ اَیْدِیَهُمْ فَكَفَّ اَیْدِیَهُمْ عَنْكُمْۚ-وَ اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَؕ-وَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ فَلْیَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ۠(۱۱)
O believers, remember the favours God bestowed on you when a people raised their hands against you and He restrained their hands. So fear God; and the faithful should place their trust in God.
O believers, remember God's blessing upon you, when a certain people purposed to stretch against you their hands, and He restrained their hands from you; and fear God; and in God let the believers put all their trust.
وَ لَقَدْ اَخَذَ اللّٰهُ مِیْثَاقَ بَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَۚ-وَ بَعَثْنَا مِنْهُمُ اثْنَیْ عَشَرَ نَقِیْبًاؕ-وَ قَالَ اللّٰهُ اِنِّیْ مَعَكُمْؕ-لَىٕنْ اَقَمْتُمُ الصَّلٰوةَ وَ اٰتَیْتُمُ الزَّكٰوةَ وَ اٰمَنْتُمْ بِرُسُلِیْ وَ عَزَّرْتُمُوْهُمْ وَ اَقْرَضْتُمُ اللّٰهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا لَّاُكَفِّرَنَّ عَنْكُمْ سَیِّاٰتِكُمْ وَ لَاُدْخِلَنَّكُمْ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِیْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُۚ-فَمَنْ كَفَرَ بَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ مِنْكُمْ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ سَوَآءَ السَّبِیْلِ(۱۲)
God covenanted the people of Israel and raised twelve leaders among them, and said: "I shall verily be with you. If you fulfil your devotional obligations, pay the zakat and believe in My apostles and support them, and give a goodly loan to God, I shall certainly absolve you of your evil, and admit you to gardens with streams of running water. But whosoever among you denies after this, will have wandered away from the right path."
God took compact with the Children of Israel; and We raised up from among them twelve chieftains. And God said, 'I am with you. Surely, if you perform the prayer, and pay the alms, and believe in My Messengers and succour them, and lend to God a good loan, I will acquit you of your evil deeds, and I will admit you to gardens underneath which rivers flow. So whosoever of you thereafter disbelieves, surely he has gone astray from the right way.
فَبِمَا نَقْضِهِمْ مِّیْثَاقَهُمْ لَعَنّٰهُمْ وَ جَعَلْنَا قُلُوْبَهُمْ قٰسِیَةًۚ-یُحَرِّفُوْنَ الْكَلِمَ عَنْ مَّوَاضِعِهٖۙ-وَ نَسُوْا حَظًّا مِّمَّا ذُكِّرُوْا بِهٖۚ-وَ لَا تَزَالُ تَطَّلِعُ عَلٰى خَآىٕنَةٍ مِّنْهُمْ اِلَّا قَلِیْلًا مِّنْهُمْ فَاعْفُ عَنْهُمْ وَ اصْفَحْؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ یُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِنِیْنَ(۱۳)
When they dishonoured their pledge We condemned them, and hardened their hearts. So they distort the words of the Scripture out of context, and have forgotten some of what they were warned against. You will always hear of treachery on their part except that of a few. But forbear and forgive them, for God loves those who do good.
So for their breaking their compact We cursed them and made their hearts hard, they perverting words from their meanings; and they have forgotten a portion of that they were reminded of; and thou wilt never cease to light upon some act of treachery on their part, except a few of them. Yet pardon them, and forgive; surely God loves the good-doers.
وَ مِنَ الَّذِیْنَ قَالُوْۤا اِنَّا نَصٰرٰۤى اَخَذْنَا مِیْثَاقَهُمْ فَنَسُوْا حَظًّا مِّمَّا ذُكِّرُوْا بِهٖ۪-فَاَغْرَیْنَا بَیْنَهُمُ الْعَدَاوَةَ وَ الْبَغْضَآءَ اِلٰى یَوْمِ الْقِیٰمَةِؕ-وَ سَوْفَ یُنَبِّئُهُمُ اللّٰهُ بِمَا كَانُوْا یَصْنَعُوْنَ(۱۴)
We had taken the pledge of those also who call themselves Christians. But they too forgot to take advantage of the warning they were given. So We have caused enmity and hatred among them to last till the Day of Resurrection, when God will inform them of what they were doing.
And with those who say 'We are Christians' We took compact; and they have forgotten a portion of that they were reminded of. So We have stirred up among them enmity and hatred, till the Day of Resurrection; and God will assuredly tell them of the things they wrought.
یٰۤاَهْلَ الْكِتٰبِ قَدْ جَآءَكُمْ رَسُوْلُنَا یُبَیِّنُ لَكُمْ كَثِیْرًا مِّمَّا كُنْتُمْ تُخْفُوْنَ مِنَ الْكِتٰبِ وَ یَعْفُوْا عَنْ كَثِیْرٍ ﱟ قَدْ جَآءَكُمْ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ نُوْرٌ وَّ كِتٰبٌ مُّبِیْنٌۙ(۱۵)
O people of the Book, Our Apostle has come to you, announcing many things of the Scriptures that you have suppressed, passing over some others. To you has come light and a clear Book from God
People of the Book, now there has come to you Our Messenger, making clear to you many things you have been concealing of the Book, and effacing many things. There has come to you from God a light, and a Book Manifest
یَّهْدِیْ بِهِ اللّٰهُ مَنِ اتَّبَعَ رِضْوَانَهٗ سُبُلَ السَّلٰمِ وَ یُخْرِجُهُمْ مِّنَ الظُّلُمٰتِ اِلَى النُّوْرِ بِاِذْنِهٖ وَ یَهْدِیْهِمْ اِلٰى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِیْمٍ(۱۶)
Through which God will lead those who follow His pleasure to the path of peace, and guide them out of darkness into light by His will, and to the path that is straight.
whereby God guides whosoever follows His good pleasure in the ways of peace, and brings them forth from the shadows into the light by His leave; and He guides them to a straight path.
لَقَدْ كَفَرَ الَّذِیْنَ قَالُوْۤا اِنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ الْمَسِیْحُ ابْنُ مَرْیَمَؕ-قُلْ فَمَنْ یَّمْلِكُ مِنَ اللّٰهِ شَیْــٴًـا اِنْ اَرَادَ اَنْ یُّهْلِكَ الْمَسِیْحَ ابْنَ مَرْیَمَ وَ اُمَّهٗ وَ مَنْ فِی الْاَرْضِ جَمِیْعًاؕ-وَ لِلّٰهِ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِ وَ مَا بَیْنَهُمَاؕ-یَخْلُقُ مَا یَشَآءُؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَیْءٍ قَدِیْرٌ(۱۷)
Verily they are unbelievers who say: "The Messiah, son of Mary, is God." You ask them: "Who could prevail against God if He had chosen to destroy the Messiah, son of Mary, and his mother, and the rest of mankind?" For God´s is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and whatsoever lies between them. He creates what He please, for God has the power over all things.
They are unbelievers who say, 'God is the Messiah, Mary's son.' Say: 'Who then shall overrule God in any way if He desires to destroy the Messiah, Mary's son, and his mother, and all those who are on earth?' For to God belongs the kingdom of the heavens and of the earth, and all that is between them, creating what He will. God is powerful over everything.
وَ قَالَتِ الْیَهُوْدُ وَ النَّصٰرٰى نَحْنُ اَبْنٰٓؤُا اللّٰهِ وَ اَحِبَّآؤُهٗؕ-قُلْ فَلِمَ یُعَذِّبُكُمْ بِذُنُوْبِكُمْؕ-بَلْ اَنْتُمْ بَشَرٌ مِّمَّنْ خَلَقَؕ-یَغْفِرُ لِمَنْ یَّشَآءُ وَ یُعَذِّبُ مَنْ یَّشَآءُؕ-وَ لِلّٰهِ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِ وَ مَا بَیْنَهُمَا٘-وَ اِلَیْهِ الْمَصِیْرُ(۱۸)
Say the Jews and the Christians: "We are sons of God and beloved of Him." Say: "Why does He punish you then for your sins? No: You are only mortals, of His creation." He can punish whom He please and pardon whom He will, for God´s is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and all that lies between them, and everything will go back to Him.
Say the Jews and Christians, 'We are the sons of God, and His beloved ones.' Say: 'Why then does He chastise you for your sins? No; you are mortals, of His creating; He forgives whom He will, and He chastises whom He will.' For to God belongs the kingdom of the heavens and of the earth, and all that is between them; to Him is the homecoming.
یٰۤاَهْلَ الْكِتٰبِ قَدْ جَآءَكُمْ رَسُوْلُنَا یُبَیِّنُ لَكُمْ عَلٰى فَتْرَةٍ مِّنَ الرُّسُلِ اَنْ تَقُوْلُوْا مَا جَآءَنَا مِنْۢ بَشِیْرٍ وَّ لَا نَذِیْرٍ٘-فَقَدْ جَآءَكُمْ بَشِیْرٌ وَّ نَذِیْرٌؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَیْءٍ قَدِیْرٌ۠(۱۹)
O you people of the Book, Our Apostle has come to you when apostles had ceased to come long ago, lest you said: "There did not come to us any messenger of good news or of warnings." So now there has reached you a bearer of good tidings and of warnings; for God has the power over all things.
People of the Book, now there has come to you Our Messenger, making things clear to you, upon an interval between the Messengers lest you should say, 'There has not come to us any bearer of good tidings, neither any warner. Indeed, there has come to you a bearer of good tidings and a warner; God is powerful over everything.
وَ اِذْ قَالَ مُوْسٰى لِقَوْمِهٖ یٰقَوْمِ اذْكُرُوْا نِعْمَةَ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْكُمْ اِذْ جَعَلَ فِیْكُمْ اَنْۢبِیَآءَ وَ جَعَلَكُمْ مُّلُوْكًا ﳓ وَّ اٰتٰىكُمْ مَّا لَمْ یُؤْتِ اَحَدًا مِّنَ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ(۲۰)
Remember when Moses said to his people: "O my people, remember the favours that God bestowed on you when He appointed apostles from among you, and made you kings and gave you what had never been given to any one in the world.
And when Moses said to his people, 'O my people, remember God's blessing upon you, when He appointed among you Prophets, and appointed you kings, and gave you such as He had not given to any being.
یٰقَوْمِ ادْخُلُوا الْاَرْضَ الْمُقَدَّسَةَ الَّتِیْ كَتَبَ اللّٰهُ لَكُمْ وَ لَا تَرْتَدُّوْا عَلٰۤى اَدْبَارِكُمْ فَتَنْقَلِبُوْا خٰسِرِیْنَ(۲۱)
Enter then, my people, the Holy Land that God has ordained for you, and do not turn back, or you will suffer."
O my people, enter the Holy Land which God has prescribed for you, and turn not back in your traces, to turn about losers.'
قَالُوْا یٰمُوْسٰۤى اِنَّ فِیْهَا قَوْمًا جَبَّارِیْنَ ﳓ وَ اِنَّا لَنْ نَّدْخُلَهَا حَتّٰى یَخْرُجُوْا مِنْهَاۚ-فَاِنْ یَّخْرُجُوْا مِنْهَا فَاِنَّا دٰخِلُوْنَ(۲۲)
They said: "O Moses, in that land live a people who are formidable; we shall never go there until they leave. We shall enter when they go away."
They said, 'Moses, there are people in. it very arrogant; we will not enter it until they depart from it; if they depart from it then we will enter.'
قَالَ رَجُلٰنِ مِنَ الَّذِیْنَ یَخَافُوْنَ اَنْعَمَ اللّٰهُ عَلَیْهِمَا ادْخُلُوْا عَلَیْهِمُ الْبَابَۚ-فَاِذَا دَخَلْتُمُوْهُ فَاِنَّكُمْ غٰلِبُوْنَ ﳛ وَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ فَتَوَكَّلُوْۤا اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُّؤْمِنِیْنَ(۲۳)
Then two of the men who feared (God), and to whom God was gracious, said to them: "Charge and rush the gate. If you enter, you will surely be victorious. And place your trust in God if you truly believe."
Said two men of those that feared God whom God had blessed, 'Enter against them the gate! When you enter it, you will be victors. Put you all your trust in God, if you are believers.'
قَالُوْا یٰمُوْسٰۤى اِنَّا لَنْ نَّدْخُلَهَاۤ اَبَدًا مَّا دَامُوْا فِیْهَا فَاذْهَبْ اَنْتَ وَ رَبُّكَ فَقَاتِلَاۤ اِنَّا هٰهُنَا قٰعِدُوْنَ(۲۴)
They said: "O Moses, we shall never, never enter so long as they are there. Go you and your Lord to fight them; we stay here."
They said, 'Moses, we will never enter it so long as they are in it. Go forth, thou and thy Lord, and do battle; we will be sitting here.'
قَالَ رَبِّ اِنِّیْ لَاۤ اَمْلِكُ اِلَّا نَفْسِیْ وَ اَخِیْ فَافْرُقْ بَیْنَنَا وَ بَیْنَ الْقَوْمِ الْفٰسِقِیْنَ(۲۵)
Said (Moses): "O Lord, I have control over none but myself and my brother; so distinguish between us and these, the wicked people."
He said, 'O my Lord, I rule no one except myself and my brother. So do Thou divide between us and the people of the ungodly.'
قَالَ فَاِنَّهَا مُحَرَّمَةٌ عَلَیْهِمْ اَرْبَعِیْنَ سَنَةًۚ-یَتِیْهُوْنَ فِی الْاَرْضِؕ-فَلَا تَاْسَ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْفٰسِقِیْنَ۠(۲۶)
(And God) said: "Then verily this land is forbidden them for forty years, and they shall wander perplexed over the earth. So do not grieve for these, the wicked people."
Said He, 'Then it shall be forbidden them for forty years, while they are wandering in the earth; so grieve not for the people of the ungodly.'
وَ اتْلُ عَلَیْهِمْ نَبَاَ ابْنَیْ اٰدَمَ بِالْحَقِّۘ-اِذْ قَرَّبَا قُرْبَانًا فَتُقُبِّلَ مِنْ اَحَدِهِمَا وَ لَمْ یُتَقَبَّلْ مِنَ الْاٰخَرِؕ-قَالَ لَاَقْتُلَنَّكَؕ-قَالَ اِنَّمَا یَتَقَبَّلُ اللّٰهُ مِنَ الْمُتَّقِیْنَ(۲۷)
Narrate to them exactly the tale of the two sons of Adam. When each of them offered a sacrifice (to God), that of one was accepted, and that of the other was not. Said (the one): "I will murder you," and the other replied: "God only accepts from those who are upright and preserve themselves from evil.
And recite thou to them the story of the two sons of Adam truthfully, when they offered a sacrifice, and it was accepted of one of them, and not accepted of the other. 'I will surely slay thee,' said one. 'God accepts only of the godfearing,' said the other.
لَىٕنْۢ بَسَطْتَّ اِلَیَّ یَدَكَ لِتَقْتُلَنِیْ مَاۤ اَنَا بِبَاسِطٍ یَّدِیَ اِلَیْكَ لِاَقْتُلَكَۚ-اِنِّیْۤ اَخَافُ اللّٰهَ رَبَّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ(۲۸)
If you raise your hand to kill me, I will raise not mine to kill you, for I fear God, the Lord of all the worlds;
'Yet if thou stretchest out thy hand against me, to slay me, I will not stretch out my hand against thee, to slay thee; I fear God, the Lord of all Being.
اِنِّیْۤ اُرِیْدُ اَنْ تَبُوْٓءَاۡ بِاِثْمِیْ وَ اِثْمِكَ فَتَكُوْنَ مِنْ اَصْحٰبِ النَّارِۚ-وَ ذٰلِكَ جَزٰٓؤُا الظّٰلِمِیْنَۚ(۲۹)
I would rather you suffered the punishment for sinning against me, and for your own sin, and became an inmate of Hell. And that is the requital for the unjust."
I desire that thou shouldest be laden with my sin and thy sin, and so become an inhabitant of the Fire; that is the recompense of the evildoers.'
فَطَوَّعَتْ لَهٗ نَفْسُهٗ قَتْلَ اَخِیْهِ فَقَتَلَهٗ فَاَصْبَحَ مِنَ الْخٰسِرِیْنَ(۳۰)
Then the other was induced by his passion to murder his brother, and he killed him, and became one of the damned.
Then his soul prompted him to slay his brother, and he slew him, and became one of the losers.
فَبَعَثَ اللّٰهُ غُرَابًا یَّبْحَثُ فِی الْاَرْضِ لِیُرِیَهٗ كَیْفَ یُوَارِیْ سَوْءَةَ اَخِیْهِؕ-قَالَ یٰوَیْلَتٰۤى اَعَجَزْتُ اَنْ اَكُوْنَ مِثْلَ هٰذَا الْغُرَابِ فَاُوَارِیَ سَوْءَةَ اَخِیْۚ-فَاَصْبَحَ مِنَ النّٰدِمِیْنَ(۳۱)ﮊ
Then God sent a raven which scratched the ground in order to show him how to hide the nakedness of his brother. "Alas, the woe," said he, "that I could not be even like the raven and hide the nakedness of my brother," and was filled with remorse.
Then God sent forth a raven, scratching into the earth, to show him how he might conceal the vile body of his brother. He said, 'Woe is me! Am I unable to be as this raven, and so conceal my brother's vile body?' And he became one of the remorseful.
مِنْ اَجْلِ ذٰلِكَ ﳎ كَتَبْنَا عَلٰى بَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَ اَنَّهٗ مَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْسًۢا بِغَیْرِ نَفْسٍ اَوْ فَسَادٍ فِی الْاَرْضِ فَكَاَنَّمَا قَتَلَ النَّاسَ جَمِیْعًاؕ-وَ مَنْ اَحْیَاهَا فَكَاَنَّمَاۤ اَحْیَا النَّاسَ جَمِیْعًاؕ-وَ لَقَدْ جَآءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُنَا بِالْبَیِّنٰتِ٘-ثُمَّ اِنَّ كَثِیْرًا مِّنْهُمْ بَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ فِی الْاَرْضِ لَمُسْرِفُوْنَ(۳۲)
That is why We decreed for the children of Israel that whosoever kills a human being, except (as punishment) for murder or for spreading corruption in the land, it shall be like killing all humanity; and whosoever saves a life, saves the entire human race. Our apostles brought clear proofs to them; but even after that most of them committed excesses in the land.
Therefore We prescribed for the Children of Israel that whoso slays a soul not to retaliate for a soul slain, nor for corruption done in the land, shall be as if he had slain mankind altogether; and whoso gives life to a soul, shall be as if he ha given life to mankind altogether. Our Messengers have already come to them with the clear signs; then many of them thereafter commit excesses in the earth.
اِنَّمَا جَزٰٓؤُا الَّذِیْنَ یُحَارِبُوْنَ اللّٰهَ وَ رَسُوْلَهٗ وَ یَسْعَوْنَ فِی الْاَرْضِ فَسَادًا اَنْ یُّقَتَّلُوْۤا اَوْ یُصَلَّبُوْۤا اَوْ تُقَطَّعَ اَیْدِیْهِمْ وَ اَرْجُلُهُمْ مِّنْ خِلَافٍ اَوْ یُنْفَوْا مِنَ الْاَرْضِؕ-ذٰلِكَ لَهُمْ خِزْیٌ فِی الدُّنْیَا وَ لَهُمْ فِی الْاٰخِرَةِ عَذَابٌ عَظِیْمٌۙ(۳۳)
The punishment for those who wage war against God and His Prophet, and perpetrate disorders in the land, is to kill or hang them, or have a hand on one side and a foot on the other cut off, or banish them from the land. Such is their disgrace in the world, and in the Hereafter their doom shall be dreadful.
This is the recompense of those who fight against God and His Messenger, and hasten about the earth, to do corruption there: they shall be slaughtered, or crucified, or their hands and feet shall alternately be struck off; or they shall be banished from the land. That is a degradation for them in this world; and in the world to come awaits them a mighty chastisement,
اِلَّا الَّذِیْنَ تَابُوْا مِنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ تَقْدِرُوْا عَلَیْهِمْۚ-فَاعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ۠(۳۴)
But those who repent before they are subdued should know that God is forgiving and kind.
except for such as repent, before you have power over them. So know you that God is All-forgiving, All-compassionate.
یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَ ابْتَغُوْۤا اِلَیْهِ الْوَسِیْلَةَ وَ جَاهِدُوْا فِیْ سَبِیْلِهٖ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُوْنَ(۳۵)
O you who believe, follow the path shown to you by God, and seek the way of proximity to Him, and struggle in His way: you may have success.
O believers, fear God, and seek the means to come to Him, and struggle in His way; haply you will prosper.
اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا لَوْ اَنَّ لَهُمْ مَّا فِی الْاَرْضِ جَمِیْعًا وَّ مِثْلَهٗ مَعَهٗ لِیَفْتَدُوْا بِهٖ مِنْ عَذَابِ یَوْمِ الْقِیٰمَةِ مَا تُقُبِّلَ مِنْهُمْۚ-وَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَلِیْمٌ(۳۶)
As for unbelievers, if they possess the riches of the whole earth, and two times more, and offer it as ransom for release from the torments of the Day of Resurrection, it will not be accepted from them, and their punishment will surely be painful.
The unbelievers, though they possessed all that is in the earth, and the like of it with it, to ransom themselves from the chastisement of the Day of Resurrection thereby, it would not be accepted of them; for them awaits a painful chastisement.
یُرِیْدُوْنَ اَنْ یَّخْرُجُوْا مِنَ النَّارِ وَ مَا هُمْ بِخٰرِجِیْنَ مِنْهَا٘-وَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُّقِیْمٌ(۳۷)
They would like to escape from the Fire, but will never succeed, and their suffering will be constant
They will desire to come forth from the Fire, but they will not come forth from it; for them awaits a lasting chastisement.
وَ السَّارِقُ وَ السَّارِقَةُ فَاقْطَعُوْۤا اَیْدِیَهُمَا جَزَآءًۢ بِمَا كَسَبَا نَكَالًا مِّنَ اللّٰهِؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ عَزِیْزٌ حَكِیْمٌ(۳۸)
As for the thief, whether man or woman, cut his hand as punishment from God for what he had done; and God is all mighty and all wise.
And the thief, male and female: cut off the hands of both, as a recompense for what they have earned, and a punishment exemplary from God; God is All-mighty, All-wise.
فَمَنْ تَابَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ ظُلْمِهٖ وَ اَصْلَحَ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ یَتُوْبُ عَلَیْهِؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ(۳۹)
But those who repent after a crime and reform, shall be forgiven by God, for God is forgiving and kind.
But whoso repents, after his evildoing, and makes amends, God will turn towards him; God is All-forgiving, All-compassionate.
اَلَمْ تَعْلَمْ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ لَهٗ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِؕ-یُعَذِّبُ مَنْ یَّشَآءُ وَ یَغْفِرُ لِمَنْ یَّشَآءُؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَیْءٍ قَدِیْرٌ(۴۰)
Do you not know that God´s is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth? He punishes whom He will, and pardons whom He please, for God has the power over all things.
Knowest thou not that to God belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth? He chastises whom He will, and forgives whom He will; and God is powerful over everything.
