176 Ayaat مدنیۃ
اُولٰٓىٕكَ مَاْوٰىهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ٘- وَ لَا یَجِدُوْنَ عَنْهَا مَحِیْصًا(۱۲۱)
For such the abode is only Hell from which they will find no escape.
Such men -- their refuge shall be Gehenna, and they shall find no asylum from it.
وَ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ سَنُدْخِلُهُمْ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِیْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهَاۤ اَبَدًاؕ-وَعْدَ اللّٰهِ حَقًّاؕ-وَ مَنْ اَصْدَقُ مِنَ اللّٰهِ قِیْلًا(۱۲۲)
But those who believe and do good deeds We shall admit into gardens with streams of running water where they will abide for ever. True is the promise of God; and whose word could be truer than God´s?
But those that believe, and do deeds of righteousness, them We shall admit to gardens underneath which rivers flow, therein dwelling for ever and ever; God's promise in truth; and who is truer in speech than God?
لَیْسَ بِاَمَانِیِّكُمْ وَ لَاۤ اَمَانِیِّ اَهْلِ الْكِتٰبِؕ-مَنْ یَّعْمَلْ سُوْٓءًا یُّجْزَ بِهٖۙ-وَ لَا یَجِدْ لَهٗ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ وَلِیًّا وَّ لَا نَصِیْرًا(۱۲۳)
It is neither dependent on your wishes, nor the wishes of the people of the Book, (but) whosoever does ill will be punished for it, and will find no protector or friend apart from God;
It is not your fancies, nor the fancies of the People of the Book. Whosoever does evil shall be recompensed for it, and will not find for him, apart from God, a friend or helper.
وَ مَنْ یَّعْمَلْ مِنَ الصّٰلِحٰتِ مِنْ ذَكَرٍ اَوْ اُنْثٰى وَ هُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَاُولٰٓىٕكَ یَدْخُلُوْنَ الْجَنَّةَ وَ لَا یُظْلَمُوْنَ نَقِیْرًا(۱۲۴)
But he who performs good deeds, whether man or a woman, and is a believer, will surely enter Paradise, and none shall be deprived even of an iota of his reward.
And whosoever does deeds of righteousness, be it male or female, believing - they shall enter Paradise, and not be wronged a single date-spot.
وَ مَنْ اَحْسَنُ دِیْنًا مِّمَّنْ اَسْلَمَ وَجْهَهٗ لِلّٰهِ وَ هُوَ مُحْسِنٌ وَّ اتَّبَعَ مِلَّةَ اِبْرٰهِیْمَ حَنِیْفًاؕ-وَ اتَّخَذَ اللّٰهُ اِبْرٰهِیْمَ خَلِیْلًا(۱۲۵)
Whose way is better than that of the man who has submitted to God, and does good, and who follows the creed of Abraham the upright? And God chose Abraham as friend.
And who is there that has a fairer religion than he who submits his will to God being a good-doer, and who follows the creed of Abraham, a man of pure faith? And God took Abraham for a friend.
وَ لِلّٰهِ مَا فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ مَا فِی الْاَرْضِؕ-وَ كَانَ اللّٰهُ بِكُلِّ شَیْءٍ مُّحِیْطًا۠(۱۲۶)
And all that is in the heavens and the earth belongs to God; and everything is well within the compass of God.
To God belongs all that is in the heavens and in the earth, and God encompasses everything.
وَ یَسْتَفْتُوْنَكَ فِی النِّسَآءِؕ-قُلِ اللّٰهُ یُفْتِیْكُمْ فِیْهِنَّۙ-وَ مَا یُتْلٰى عَلَیْكُمْ فِی الْكِتٰبِ فِیْ یَتٰمَى النِّسَآءِ الّٰتِیْ لَا تُؤْتُوْنَهُنَّ مَا كُتِبَ لَهُنَّ وَ تَرْغَبُوْنَ اَنْ تَنْكِحُوْهُنَّ وَ الْمُسْتَضْعَفِیْنَ مِنَ الْوِلْدَانِۙ-وَ اَنْ تَقُوْمُوْا لِلْیَتٰمٰى بِالْقِسْطِؕ-وَ مَا تَفْعَلُوْا مِنْ خَیْرٍ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ بِهٖ عَلِیْمًا(۱۲۷)
And they ask you for judgement about women. Tell them: "God has given you instructions about them. You also read them in the Book concerning orphaned women (in your charge) to whom you deny their ordained rights and yet wish to take them in marriage, as well as in respect of helpless children, that you should be just in the matter of orphans." The good you do is known to God.
They will ask thee for a pronouncement concerning women. Say: 'God pronounces to you concerning them, and what is recited to you in the Book concerning the orphan women to whom you give not what is prescribed for them, and yet desire to marry them, and the oppressed children, and that you secure justice for orphans. Whatever good you do, God knows of it.'
وَ اِنِ امْرَاَةٌ خَافَتْ مِنْۢ بَعْلِهَا نُشُوْزًا اَوْ اِعْرَاضًا فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَیْهِمَاۤ اَنْ یُّصْلِحَا بَیْنَهُمَا صُلْحًاؕ-وَ الصُّلْحُ خَیْرٌؕ-وَ اُحْضِرَتِ الْاَنْفُسُ الشُّحَّؕ-وَ اِنْ تُحْسِنُوْا وَ تَتَّقُوْا فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ خَبِیْرًا(۱۲۸)
If a woman fears aversion from her husband, or ill treatment, there is no harm if they make a peaceful settlement; and peace is an excellent thing. But men keep self-interest uppermost. Yet if you do good and fear God, God is cognisant of all that you do.
If a woman fear rebelliousness or aversion in her husband, there is no fault in them if the couple set things right between them; right settlement is better; and souls are very prone to avarice. If you do good and are godfearing, surely God is aware of the things you do.
وَ لَنْ تَسْتَطِیْعُوْۤا اَنْ تَعْدِلُوْا بَیْنَ النِّسَآءِ وَ لَوْ حَرَصْتُمْ فَلَا تَمِیْلُوْا كُلَّ الْمَیْلِ فَتَذَرُوْهَا كَالْمُعَلَّقَةِؕ-وَ اِنْ تُصْلِحُوْا وَ تَتَّقُوْا فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ غَفُوْرًا رَّحِیْمًا(۱۲۹)
Howsoever you may try you will never be able to treat your wives equally. But do not incline (to one) exclusively and leave (the other) suspended (as it were). Yet if you do the right thing and are just, God is verily forgiving and kind.
You will not be able to be equitable between your wives, be you ever so eager; yet do not be altogether partial so that you leave her as it were suspended. If you set things right, and are godfearing, God is All-forgiving, All-compassionate.
وَ اِنْ یَّتَفَرَّقَا یُغْنِ اللّٰهُ كُلًّا مِّنْ سَعَتِهٖؕ-وَ كَانَ اللّٰهُ وَاسِعًا حَكِیْمًا(۱۳۰)
If both (decide to) separate, God in His largesse will provide for them; for God is infinite and all wise.
But if they separate, God will enrich each of them of His plenty; God is All-embracing, All-wise.
وَ لِلّٰهِ مَا فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ مَا فِی الْاَرْضِؕ-وَ لَقَدْ وَصَّیْنَا الَّذِیْنَ اُوْتُوا الْكِتٰبَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ وَ اِیَّاكُمْ اَنِ اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَؕ-وَ اِنْ تَكْفُرُوْا فَاِنَّ لِلّٰهِ مَا فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ مَا فِی الْاَرْضِؕ-وَ كَانَ اللّٰهُ غَنِیًّا حَمِیْدًا(۱۳۱)
All that is in the heavens and the earth belongs to God. We had commanded those who received the Book before you, and have commanded you too, to obey the laws of God. Even if you deny, surely all that is in the heavens and the earth belongs to God; and God is self-sufficient and praise-worthy.
To God belongs all that is in the heavens and in the earth. We have charged those who were given the Book before you, and you, 'Fear God.' If you disbelieve, to God belongs all that is in the heavens and in the earth; God is All-sufficient, All-laudable.
وَ لِلّٰهِ مَا فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ مَا فِی الْاَرْضِؕ-وَ كَفٰى بِاللّٰهِ وَكِیْلًا(۱۳۲)
For all that is in the heavens and the earth belongs to God; and God is sufficient as guardian.
To God belongs all that is in the heavens and in the earth; God suffices for a guardian.
اِنْ یَّشَاْ یُذْهِبْكُمْ اَیُّهَا النَّاسُ وَ یَاْتِ بِاٰخَرِیْنَؕ-وَ كَانَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى ذٰلِكَ قَدِیْرًا(۱۳۳)
He could take you away if He will, O men, and replace you with others: God has the power to do so.
If He will, He can put you away, O men, and bring others; surely God is powerful over that.
مَنْ كَانَ یُرِیْدُ ثَوَابَ الدُّنْیَا فَعِنْدَ اللّٰهِ ثَوَابُ الدُّنْیَا وَ الْاٰخِرَةِؕ-وَ كَانَ اللّٰهُ سَمِیْعًۢا بَصِیْرًا۠(۱۳۴)
Whosoever desires a reward of this world (should remember) that with God are rewards of this world and the next; and God hears all and sees everything.
Whoso desires the reward of this world, with God is the reward of this world and of the world to come; God is All-hearing, All-seeing.
یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا كُوْنُوْا قَوّٰمِیْنَ بِالْقِسْطِ شُهَدَآءَ لِلّٰهِ وَ لَوْ عَلٰۤى اَنْفُسِكُمْ اَوِ الْوَالِدَیْنِ وَ الْاَقْرَبِیْنَۚ-اِنْ یَّكُنْ غَنِیًّا اَوْ فَقِیْرًا فَاللّٰهُ اَوْلٰى بِهِمَا- فَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا الْهَوٰۤى اَنْ تَعْدِلُوْاۚ-وَ اِنْ تَلْوٗۤا اَوْ تُعْرِضُوْا فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ خَبِیْرًا(۱۳۵)
O you who believe, be custodians of justice (and) witnesses for God, even though against yourselves or your parents or your relatives. Whether a man be rich or poor, God is his greater well-wisher than you. So follow not the behests of lust lest you swerve from justice; and if you prevaricate or avoid (giving evidence), God is cognisant of all that you do.
O believers, be you securers of justice, witnesses for God, even though it be against yourselves, or your parents and kinsmen, whether the man be rich or poor; God stands closest to either. Then follow not caprice, so as to swerve; for if you twist or turn, God is aware of the things you do.
یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اٰمِنُوْا بِاللّٰهِ وَ رَسُوْلِهٖ وَ الْكِتٰبِ الَّذِیْ نَزَّلَ عَلٰى رَسُوْلِهٖ وَ الْكِتٰبِ الَّذِیْۤ اَنْزَلَ مِنْ قَبْلُؕ-وَ مَنْ یَّكْفُرْ بِاللّٰهِ وَ مَلٰٓىٕكَتِهٖ وَ كُتُبِهٖ وَ رُسُلِهٖ وَ الْیَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ ضَلٰلًۢا بَعِیْدًا(۱۳۶)
O believers, believe in God and His Messenger and the Book He has revealed to His Apostle, and the Books revealed before. But he who believes not in God and His angels and the Books and the prophets and the Last Day, has wandered far away.
O believers, believe in God and His Messenger and the Book He has sent down on His Messenger and the Book which He sent down before. Whoso disbelieves in God and His angels and His Books, and His Messengers, and the Last Day, has surely gone astray into far error.
اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا ثُمَّ كَفَرُوْا ثُمَّ اٰمَنُوْا ثُمَّ كَفَرُوْا ثُمَّ ازْدَادُوْا كُفْرًا لَّمْ یَكُنِ اللّٰهُ لِیَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ وَ لَا لِیَهْدِیَهُمْ سَبِیْلًاؕ(۱۳۷)
Those who accept the faith, then disbelieve, then return to it, and deny once again and increase in disbelief, will not be forgiven by God or be guided by Him.
Those who believe, and then disbelieve, and then believe, and then disbelieve, and then increase in unbelief-God is not likely to forgive them, neither to guide them on any way.
بَشِّرِ الْمُنٰفِقِیْنَ بِاَنَّ لَهُمْ عَذَابًا اَلِیْمَاﰳ ۙ (۱۳۸)
Give tidings to the hypocrites that painful is their doom.
Give thou good tidings to the hypocrites that for them awaits a painful chastisement.
الَّذِیْنَ یَتَّخِذُوْنَ الْكٰفِرِیْنَ اَوْلِیَآءَ مِنْ دُوْنِ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَؕ-اَیَبْتَغُوْنَ عِنْدَهُمُ الْعِزَّةَ فَاِنَّ الْعِزَّةَ لِلّٰهِ جَمِیْعًاؕ(۱۳۹)
Do those who take unbelievers as their friends in preference to the faithful seek power from them? But all power belongs to God.
Those who take unbelievers for their friends instead of believers -- do they seek glory in them? But glory altogether belongs to God.
وَ قَدْ نَزَّلَ عَلَیْكُمْ فِی الْكِتٰبِ اَنْ اِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ اٰیٰتِ اللّٰهِ یُكْفَرُ بِهَا وَ یُسْتَهْزَاُ بِهَا فَلَا تَقْعُدُوْا مَعَهُمْ حَتّٰى یَخُوْضُوْا فِیْ حَدِیْثٍ غَیْرِهٖۤ ﳲ اِنَّكُمْ اِذًا مِّثْلُهُمْؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ جَامِعُ الْمُنٰفِقِیْنَ وَ الْكٰفِرِیْنَ فِیْ جَهَنَّمَ جَمِیْعَاۙﰳ (۱۴۰)
You have been commanded in the Book that whensoever you hear God´s messages denied or derided, do not sit in that company until they begin talking of other things, or you will be no different from them. Indeed God will put the hypocrites and infidels together in Hell.
He has sent down upon you in the Book: 'When you hear God's signs being disbelieved and made mock of, do not sit with them until they plunge into some other talk, or else you will surely be like to them.' God will gather the hypocrites and the unbelievers all in Gehenna.
الَّذِیْنَ یَتَرَبَّصُوْنَ بِكُمْۚ-فَاِنْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فَتْحٌ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ قَالُوْۤا اَلَمْ نَكُنْ مَّعَكُمْ ﳲ وَ اِنْ كَانَ لِلْكٰفِرِیْنَ نَصِیْبٌۙ-قَالُوْۤا اَلَمْ نَسْتَحْوِذْ عَلَیْكُمْ وَ نَمْنَعْكُمْ مِّنَ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَؕ-فَاللّٰهُ یَحْكُمُ بَیْنَكُمْ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِؕ-وَ لَنْ یَّجْعَلَ اللّٰهُ لِلْكٰفِرِیْنَ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ سَبِیْلًا۠(۱۴۱)
Those who wait to see what befalls you, say in ease success comes to you from God: "Were we not with you?" But if fortune favours the infidels, they say: "Did we not overpower you, and yet protected you against the believers?" But God will judge between you on the Day of Resurrection; and God will never give the unbelievers a way over the faithful.
Those who wait upon you and, if a victory comes to you from God, say, 'Were we not with you?' but if the unbelievers get a share, they say, 'Did we not gain the mastery over you, and did we not defend you from the believers?' God will judge between you on the Resurrection Day, and God will not grant the unbelievers any way over the believers.
اِنَّ الْمُنٰفِقِیْنَ یُخٰدِعُوْنَ اللّٰهَ وَ هُوَ خَادِعُهُمْۚ-وَ اِذَا قَامُوْۤا اِلَى الصَّلٰوةِ قَامُوْا كُسَالٰىۙ-یُرَآءُوْنَ النَّاسَ وَ لَا یَذْكُرُوْنَ اللّٰهَ اِلَّا قَلِیْلًا٘ۙ(۱۴۲)
The hypocrites try to deceive God, but He (leads them to) deceive themselves. When they stand up for performing the service of prayer they do so indolently, only for show, and remember God but little,
The hypocrites seek to trick God, but God is tricking them. When they stand up to pray they stand up lazily, showing off to the people and not remembering God save a little;
مُّذَبْذَبِیْنَ بَیْنَ ذٰلِكَ ﳓ لَاۤ اِلٰى هٰۤؤُلَآءِ وَ لَاۤ اِلٰى هٰۤؤُلَآءِؕ-وَ مَنْ یُّضْلِلِ اللّٰهُ فَلَنْ تَجِدَ لَهٗ سَبِیْلًا(۱۴۳)
Wavering between the two, neither with these nor with those. For them who are not given the guidance by God, you will never find a way.
wavering all the time -- not to these, not to those; and whom God leads astray, thou wilt not find for him a way.
یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا تَتَّخِذُوا الْكٰفِرِیْنَ اَوْلِیَآءَ مِنْ دُوْنِ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَؕ-اَتُرِیْدُوْنَ اَنْ تَجْعَلُوْا لِلّٰهِ عَلَیْكُمْ سُلْطٰنًا مُّبِیْنًا(۱۴۴)
O believers, do not hold unbelievers as friends in preference to the faithful. Do you want to proffer a clear proof of your own guilt before God?
O believers, take not the unbelievers as friends instead of the believers; or do you desire to give God over you a clear authority?
اِنَّ الْمُنٰفِقِیْنَ فِی الدَّرْكِ الْاَسْفَلِ مِنَ النَّارِۚ-وَ لَنْ تَجِدَ لَهُمْ نَصِیْرًاۙ(۱۴۵)
The hypocrites will be in the lowest depths of Hell, and you will find none to help them.
Surely the hypocrites will be in the lowest reach of the Fire; thou wilt not find for them any helper;
اِلَّا الَّذِیْنَ تَابُوْا وَ اَصْلَحُوْا وَ اعْتَصَمُوْا بِاللّٰهِ وَ اَخْلَصُوْا دِیْنَهُمْ لِلّٰهِ فَاُولٰٓىٕكَ مَعَ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَؕ-وَ سَوْفَ یُؤْتِ اللّٰهُ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ اَجْرًا عَظِیْمًا(۱۴۶)
But those who repent and amend, and hold firmly to God, and are sincere and wholly obedient to God, are surely with the faithful; and God will bestow on the faithful a great reward.
save such as repent, and make amends, and hold fast to God, and make their religion sincerely God's; those are with the believers, and God will certainly give the believers a mighty wage.
مَا یَفْعَلُ اللّٰهُ بِعَذَابِكُمْ اِنْ شَكَرْتُمْ وَ اٰمَنْتُمْؕ-وَ كَانَ اللّٰهُ شَاكِرًا عَلِیْمًا(۱۴۷)
Why should God punish you if you acknowledge the truth and believe? God is responsive to gratitude and is cognisant.
What would God do with chastising you if you are thankful, and believe? God is All-thankful, All-knowing.
لَا یُحِبُّ اللّٰهُ الْجَهْرَ بِالسُّوْٓءِ مِنَ الْقَوْلِ اِلَّا مَنْ ظُلِمَؕ-وَ كَانَ اللّٰهُ سَمِیْعًا عَلِیْمًا(۱۴۸)
God does not like ill (of others) spoken about, except by him who has been wronged. For God hears all and knows everything.
God likes not the shouting of evil words unless a man has been wronged; God is All-hearing, All-knowing.
اِنْ تُبْدُوْا خَیْرًا اَوْ تُخْفُوْهُ اَوْ تَعْفُوْا عَنْ سُوْٓءٍ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ عَفُوًّا قَدِیْرًا(۱۴۹)
Whether you do some good openly or in secret, or forgive an ill done to you, (know) that God is forgiving and all-powerful.
If you do good openly or in secret or pardon an evil, surely God is All-pardoning, All-powerful.
اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ یَكْفُرُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَ رُسُلِهٖ وَ یُرِیْدُوْنَ اَنْ یُّفَرِّقُوْا بَیْنَ اللّٰهِ وَ رُسُلِهٖ وَ یَقُوْلُوْنَ نُؤْمِنُ بِبَعْضٍ وَّ نَكْفُرُ بِبَعْضٍۙ-وَّ یُرِیْدُوْنَ اَنْ یَّتَّخِذُوْا بَیْنَ ذٰلِكَ سَبِیْلًاۙ(۱۵۰)
Those who believe not in God and His apostles, and desire to differentiate between God and His messengers, and say: "We believe in some and not in the others," and wish to find a way (between affirmation and denial),
Those who disbelieve in God and His Messengers and desire to make division between God and His Messengers, and say, 'We believe in part, and disbelieve in part,' desiring to take between this and that a way --
اُولٰٓىٕكَ هُمُ الْكٰفِرُوْنَ حَقًّاۚ-وَ اَعْتَدْنَا لِلْكٰفِرِیْنَ عَذَابًا مُّهِیْنًا(۱۵۱)
Are verily the real unbelievers. And We have reserved for unbelievers an ignominious punishment.
those in truth are the unbelievers; and We have prepared for the unbelievers a humbling chastisement.
وَ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا بِاللّٰهِ وَ رُسُلِهٖ وَ لَمْ یُفَرِّقُوْا بَیْنَ اَحَدٍ مِّنْهُمْ اُولٰٓىٕكَ سَوْفَ یُؤْتِیْهِمْ اُجُوْرَهُمْؕ-وَ كَانَ اللّٰهُ غَفُوْرًا رَّحِیْمًا۠(۱۵۲)
But those who believe in God and His apostles and make no distinction among any of them, will be given by Him their recompense; for God is forgiving and kind.
And those who believe in God and His Messengers and make no division between any of them, those -- We shall surely give them their wages; God is All-forgiving, All-compassionate.
یَسْــٴَـلُكَ اَهْلُ الْكِتٰبِ اَنْ تُنَزِّلَ عَلَیْهِمْ كِتٰبًا مِّنَ السَّمَآءِ فَقَدْ سَاَلُوْا مُوْسٰۤى اَكْبَرَ مِنْ ذٰلِكَ فَقَالُوْۤا اَرِنَا اللّٰهَ جَهْرَةً فَاَخَذَتْهُمُ الصّٰعِقَةُ بِظُلْمِهِمْۚ-ثُمَّ اتَّخَذُوا الْعِجْلَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَتْهُمُ الْبَیِّنٰتُ فَعَفَوْنَا عَنْ ذٰلِكَۚ-وَ اٰتَیْنَا مُوْسٰى سُلْطٰنًا مُّبِیْنًا(۱۵۳)
The people of the Book demand of you to bring for them a book from heaven. But of Moses they had asked a bigger thing, and demanded: "Show us God face to face." They were struck by lightning then as punishment for their wickedness. Even then they made the calf, when clear signs had reached them. Still We forgave them and gave Moses clear authority.
The People of the Book will ask thee to bring down upon them a Book from heaven; and they asked Moses for greater than that, for they said, 'Show us God openly.' And the thunderbolt took them for their evildoing. Then they took to themselves the Calf, after the clear signs had come to them; yet We pardoned them that, and We bestowed upon Moses a clear authority.
وَ رَفَعْنَا فَوْقَهُمُ الطُّوْرَ بِمِیْثَاقِهِمْ وَ قُلْنَا لَهُمُ ادْخُلُوا الْبَابَ سُجَّدًا وَّ قُلْنَا لَهُمْ لَا تَعْدُوْا فِی السَّبْتِ وَ اَخَذْنَا مِنْهُمْ مِّیْثَاقًا غَلِیْظًا(۱۵۴)
We exalted them on the Mount, and they gave a solemn pledge, and We said to them: "Enter the gates submissively," and told them: "Do not break the Sabbath," and took a solemn pledge from them.
And We raised above them the Mount, taking compact with them; and We said to them, 'Enter in at the gate, prostrating'; and We said to them, 'Transgress not the Sabbath'; and We took from them a solemn compact.
فَبِمَا نَقْضِهِمْ مِّیْثَاقَهُمْ وَ كُفْرِهِمْ بِاٰیٰتِ اللّٰهِ وَ قَتْلِهِمُ الْاَنْۢبِیَآءَ بِغَیْرِ حَقٍّ وَّ قَوْلِهِمْ قُلُوْبُنَا غُلْفٌؕ-بَلْ طَبَعَ اللّٰهُ عَلَیْهَا بِكُفْرِهِمْ فَلَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ اِلَّا قَلِیْلًا۪(۱۵۵)
So (they were punished) for breaking the covenant and disbelieving the signs of God, and for killing the prophets unjustly, and saying: "Our hearts are enfolded in covers," (though) in fact God had sealed them because of their unbelief; so they do not believe except a few;
So, for their breaking the compact, and disbelieving in the signs of God, and slaying the Prophets without right, and for their saying, 'Our hearts are uncircumcised' -- nay, but God sealed them for their unbelief, so they believe not, except a few --
وَّ بِكُفْرِهِمْ وَ قَوْلِهِمْ عَلٰى مَرْیَمَ بُهْتَانًا عَظِیْمًاۙ(۱۵۶)
And because they denied and spoke dreadful calumnies of Mary;
and for their unbelief, and their uttering against Mary a mighty calumny,
وَّ قَوْلِهِمْ اِنَّا قَتَلْنَا الْمَسِیْحَ عِیْسَى ابْنَ مَرْیَمَ رَسُوْلَ اللّٰهِۚ-وَ مَا قَتَلُوْهُ وَ مَا صَلَبُوْهُ وَ لٰكِنْ شُبِّهَ لَهُمْؕ-وَ اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ اخْتَلَفُوْا فِیْهِ لَفِیْ شَكٍّ مِّنْهُؕ-مَا لَهُمْ بِهٖ مِنْ عِلْمٍ اِلَّا اتِّبَاعَ الظَّنِّۚ-وَ مَا قَتَلُوْهُ یَقِیْنًۢاۙ(۱۵۷)
And for saying: "We killed the Christ, Jesus, son of Mary, who was an apostle of God;" but they neither killed nor crucified him, though it so appeared to them. Those who disagree in the matter are only lost in doubt. They have no knowledge about it other than conjecture, for surely they did not kill him,
and for their saying, 'We slew the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, the Messenger of God' -- yet they did not slay him, neither crucified him, only a likeness of that was shown to them. Those who are at variance concerning him surely are in doubt regarding him; they have no knowledge of him, except the following of surmise; and they slew him not of a certainty -- no indeed;
بَلْ رَّفَعَهُ اللّٰهُ اِلَیْهِؕ-وَ كَانَ اللّٰهُ عَزِیْزًا حَكِیْمًا(۱۵۸)
But God raised him up (in position) and closer to Himself; and God is all-mighty and all-wise.
God raised him up to Him; God is All-mighty, All-wise.
وَ اِنْ مِّنْ اَهْلِ الْكِتٰبِ اِلَّا لَیُؤْمِنَنَّ بِهٖ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهٖۚ-وَ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ یَكُوْنُ عَلَیْهِمْ شَهِیْدًاۚ(۱۵۹)
There is not one among the people of the Book who will not believe in it before his death; and he will be a witness over them on the Day of Resurrection.
There is not one of the People of the Book but will assuredly believe in him before his death, and on the Resurrection Day he will be a witness against them.
فَبِظُلْمٍ مِّنَ الَّذِیْنَ هَادُوْا حَرَّمْنَا عَلَیْهِمْ طَیِّبٰتٍ اُحِلَّتْ لَهُمْ وَ بِصَدِّهِمْ عَنْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ كَثِیْرًاۙ(۱۶۰)
Because of the wickedness of some among the Jews, and because they obstructed people from the way of God, We forbade them many things which were lawful for them;
And for the evildoing of those of Jewry, We have forbidden them certain good things that were permitted to them, and for their barring from God's way many,
