Keep Your Contracts
In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent. O you who have believed! keep your contracts.
بسم ٱلله ٱلرحمن ٱلرحيم يأيها ٱلذين ءامنوا أوفوا بٱلعقودLawful for you are the livestock beasts, except what is recited to you — without permitting yourselves the [land] hunt, during the inviolable months.
أحلت لكم بهيمة ٱلأنعم إلا ما يتلى عليكم غير محلي ٱلصيد وأنتم حرمGod decides what He wills.
إن ٱلله يحكم ما يريدO you who have believed! do not make licit the perceptible markers of God, nor the inviolable month, nor the voluntary offerings, nor the vow-bound offerings, nor those heading toward the Inviolable House, seeking a favor from their Guardian and a good pleasure.
يأيها ٱلذين ءامنوا لا تحلوا شعئر ٱلله ولا ٱلشهر ٱلحرام ولا ٱلهدي ولا ٱلقلئد ولآ ءآمين ٱلبيت ٱلحرام يبتغون فضلا من ربهم ورضوناAnd once these months have passed, hunt.
وإذا حللتم فٱصطادواAnd let not the hatred of a people, for having turned you away from the inviolable place of prostration, drive you to aggression.
ولا يجرمنكم شنان قوم أن صدوكم عن ٱلمسجد ٱلحرام أن تعتدواHelp one another in virtue and guardedness,
وتعاونوا على ٱلبر وٱلتقوىand do not help one another in transgression and hostility.
ولا تعاونوا على ٱلإثم وٱلعدونGuard yourselves toward God:
وٱتقوا ٱللهGod is severe in sanction.
إن ٱلله شديد ٱلعقابForbidden to you are: the dead animal, blood, the flesh of swine, that which has been consecrated to other than God, the strangled animal, the animal on the brink of death, the animal in a declining state from illness, the animal dead from a blow of the horn, and what a wild beast has devoured — except what you have purified by fire — as well as the animal slaughtered in common whose shares are then drawn by lot with arrows.
حرمت عليكم ٱلميتة وٱلدم ولحم ٱلخنزير ومآ أهل لغير ٱلله به وٱلمنخنقة وٱلموقوذة وٱلمتردية وٱلنطيحة ومآ أكل ٱلسبع إلا ما ذكيتم وما ذبح على ٱلنصب وأن تستقسموا بٱلأزلمThat is an overstepping.
ذلكم فسقToday, those who disown have lost hope of your Law;
ٱليوم يئس ٱلذين كفروا من دينكمso do not fear them, but fear Me.
فلا تخشوهم وٱخشونToday, I have perfected for you your Law, I have completed My blessing upon you, and I have approved for you being true to God alone as your Law.
ٱليوم أكملت لكم دينكم وأتممت عليكم نعمتي ورضيت لكم ٱلإسلم ديناBut whoever is compelled by hunger, without inclination to transgression — God is indeed Most-Forgiving, Benevolent.
فمن ٱضطر في مخمصة غير متجانف لإثم فإن ٱلله غفور رحيمThey ask you: what is made lawful for them?
يسلونك ماذآ أحل لهمSay: "Lawful for you are the good things, as well as what you have taught your trained hunting animals, instructing them from what God has taught you.
قل أحل لكم ٱلطيبت وما علمتم من ٱلجوارح مكلبين تعلمونهن مما علمكم ٱللهSo eat of what they catch for you, and mention the name of God over it.
فكلوا ممآ أمسكن عليكم وٱذكروا ٱسم ٱلله عليهAnd guard yourselves toward God:
وٱتقوا ٱللهGod is swift in reckoning."
إن ٱلله سريع ٱلحسابToday, the good things are made lawful for you. The food of those to whom the Scripture was given is lawful for you, and your food is lawful for them. And the women protected by the marital bond among the believers, and the women protected by the marital bond among those to whom the Scripture was given before you, [are lawful for you] when you give them their rewards, as men who commit to the marital bond, not in debauchery nor as takers of secret lovers.
ٱليوم أحل لكم ٱلطيبت وطعام ٱلذين أوتوا ٱلكتب حل لكم وطعامكم حل لهم وٱلمحصنت من ٱلمؤمنت وٱلمحصنت من ٱلذين أوتوا ٱلكتب من قبلكم إذآ ءاتيتموهن أجورهن محصنين غير مسفحين ولا متخذي أخدانAnd whoever disowns the faith, his deed collapses, and he will be, in the last life, among the losers.
ومن يكفر بٱلإيمن فقد حبط عمله وهو في ٱلءاخرة من ٱلخسرينO you who have believed! when you rise for the Contact, wash your faces and your hands up to the elbows, and wipe your heads with wet hands,
يأيها ٱلذين ءامنوا إذا قمتم إلى ٱلصلوة فٱغسلوا وجوهكم وأيديكم إلى ٱلمرافق وٱمسحوا برءوسكمand your feet up to the knees.
وأرجلكم إلى ٱلكعبينAnd if you have soiled yourselves [relieving a need], wash yourselves.
وإن كنتم جنبا فٱطهرواAnd if you are sick, or on a journey, or one of you has come from relieving himself, or you have known a woman in intimacy, and you find no water, then resort to clean earth, and wipe your faces and your hands with it.
وإن كنتم مرضى أو على سفر أو جآء أحد منكم من ٱلغآئط أو لمستم ٱلنسآء فلم تجدوا مآء فتيمموا صعيدا طيبا فٱمسحوا بوجوهكم وأيديكم منهGod does not want to impose any hardship on you,
ما يريد ٱلله ليجعل عليكم من حرجbut He wants to purify you, and to complete His blessing upon you, perhaps you will be grateful.
ولكن يريد ليطهركم وليتم نعمته عليكم لعلكم تشكرونAnd remember God's blessing upon you, and His solemn engagement, by which He bound you, when you said: "We have heard and we have obeyed."
وٱذكروا نعمة ٱلله عليكم وميثقه ٱلذي واثقكم به إذ قلتم سمعنا وأطعناAnd guard yourselves toward God:
وٱتقوا ٱللهGod is certainly All-Knowing of what the chests contain.
إن ٱلله عليم بذات ٱلصدورO you who have believed! be firm supporters for God, bearing witness with equity,
يأيها ٱلذين ءامنوا كونوا قومين لله شهدآء بٱلقسطand let not the hatred of a people drive you to not be just.
ولا يجرمنكم شنان قوم على ألا تعدلواBe just: it is closer to guardedness.
ٱعدلوا هو أقرب للتقوىAnd guard yourselves toward God:
وٱتقوا ٱللهGod is Informed of what you do.
إن ٱلله خبير بما تعملونGod has promised those who have believed and done righteous deeds: they will have a forgiveness and an immense reward.
وعد ٱلله ٱلذين ءامنوا وعملوا ٱلصلحت لهم مغفرة وأجر عظيمAnd those who have disowned and denied Our signs — those are the companions of the Blaze.
وٱلذين كفروا وكذبوا بايتنآ أولئك أصحب ٱلجحيمO you who have believed! remember God's blessing upon you, when a people had resolved to lay hands on you, and He held their hands back from you.
يأيها ٱلذين ءامنوا ٱذكروا نعمت ٱلله عليكم إذ هم قوم أن يبسطوا إليكم أيديهم فكف أيديهم عنكمAnd guard yourselves toward God:
وٱتقوا ٱللهit is upon God that the believers should rely.
وعلى ٱلله فليتوكل ٱلمؤمنونGod has indeed taken the solemn engagement of the Sons of Israel, and We raised up, among them, twelve leaders.
ولقد أخذ ٱلله ميثق بني إسرءيل وبعثنا منهم ٱثنى عشر نقيباAnd God said: "I am with you.
وقال ٱلله إني معكمIf you maintain the Contact, give the purifying alms, believe in My messengers, support them, and make God a beautiful loan, I will certainly cover your evil deeds, and I will certainly admit you into gardens beneath which rivers flow.
لئن أقمتم ٱلصلوة وءاتيتم ٱلزكوة وءامنتم برسلي وعزرتموهم وأقرضتم ٱلله قرضا حسنا لأكفرن عنكم سياتكم ولأدخلنكم جنت تجري من تحتها ٱلأنهرBut whoever among you disowns after that has strayed from the straight path."
فمن كفر بعد ذلك منكم فقد ضل سوآء ٱلسبيلFor having violated their solemn engagement, We cursed them and made their cores hard: they displace words from their context, and have forgotten a part of what they had been reminded of.
فبما نقضهم ميثقهم لعنهم وجعلنا قلوبهم قسية يحرفون ٱلكلم عن مواضعه ونسوا حظا مما ذكروا بهAnd you will not cease to discover among them a betrayal, except a small number of them.
ولا تزال تطلع على خآئنة منهم إلا قليلا منهمSo efface [their fault] and overlook:
فٱعف عنهم وٱصفحGod loves those who do good.
إن ٱلله يحب ٱلمحسنينAnd among those who said: "We are the Helpers", We took their solemn engagement, but they forgot a part of what they had been reminded of; We then stirred up among them enmity and hatred, until the Day of Appearance;
ومن ٱلذين قالوا إنا نصرى أخذنا ميثقهم فنسوا حظا مما ذكروا به فأغرينا بينهم ٱلعداوة وٱلبغضآء إلى يوم ٱلقيمةand God will soon inform them of what they used to do.
وسوف ينبئهم ٱلله بما كانوا يصنعونO people of the Scripture! Our messenger has indeed come to you, making clear to you much of what you were hiding of the Scripture, and effacing much [else].
يأهل ٱلكتب قد جآءكم رسولنا يبين لكم كثيرا مما كنتم تخفون من ٱلكتب ويعفوا عن كثيرA light has indeed come to you from God, as well as a clear Scripture, by which God guides whoever follows His good pleasure toward the paths of peace,
قد جآءكم من ٱلله نور وكتب مبين يهدي به ٱلله من ٱتبع رضونه سبل ٱلسلمand brings them out of the darknesses toward the light, with His permission,
ويخرجهم من ٱلظلمت إلى ٱلنور بإذنهand guides them to a straight path.
ويهديهم إلى صرط مستقيمThey have indeed disowned, those who said: "God, that is Al-Massih, son of Maryam."
لقد كفر ٱلذين قالوا إن ٱلله هو ٱلمسيح ٱبن مريمSay: "Who then would hold any power against God, if He willed to annihilate Al-Massih, son of Maryam, and his mother, and all those on the earth?"
قل فمن يملك من ٱلله شيا إن أراد أن يهلك ٱلمسيح ٱبن مريم وأمه ومن في ٱلأرض جميعاTo God belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and of what is between them.
ولله ملك ٱلسموت وٱلأرض وما بينهماHe creates what He wills.
يخلق ما يشآءGod is capable of all things.
وٱلله على كل شىء قديرAnd the Reoriented and the Helpers said: "We are the sons of God and His beloved."
وقالت ٱليهود وٱلنصرى نحن أبنؤا ٱلله وأحبؤهSay: "Why then does He punish you for your offenses?
قل فلم يعذبكم بذنوبكمYou are rather humans, among those He created.
بل أنتم بشر ممن خلقHe forgives whom He wills, and He punishes whom He wills."
يغفر لمن يشآء ويعذب من يشآءTo God belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and of what is between them,
ولله ملك ٱلسموت وٱلأرض وما بينهماand to Him is the destination.
وإليه ٱلمصيرO people of the Scripture! Our messenger has indeed come to you, making [the truth] clear after a break in messengers, lest you say: "No bearer of good tidings nor warner has come to us" — a bearer of good tidings and a warner has thus indeed come to you.
يأهل ٱلكتب قد جآءكم رسولنا يبين لكم على فترة من ٱلرسل أن تقولوا ما جآءنا من بشير ولا نذير فقد جآءكم بشير ونذيرGod is capable of all things.
وٱلله على كل شىء قديرAnd remember when Moussa said to his people: "O my people! remember God's blessing upon you, when He placed among you prophets, and made you kings,
وإذ قال موسى لقومه يقوم ٱذكروا نعمة ٱلله عليكم إذ جعل فيكم أنبيآء وجعلكم ملوكاand gave you what He gave to none other among all beings.
وءاتىكم ما لم يؤت أحدا من ٱلعلمينO my people! enter the sanctified land that God has destined for you,
يقوم ٱدخلوا ٱلأرض ٱلمقدسة ٱلتي كتب ٱلله لكمand do not turn back, lest you be returned as losers."
ولا ترتدوا على أدباركم فتنقلبوا خسرينThey said: "O Moussa! there is there a people of tyrants,
قالوا يموسى إن فيها قوما جبارينand we will not enter it until they have left it;
وإنا لن ندخلها حتى يخرجوا منهاif they leave it, then we will enter it."
فإن يخرجوا منها فإنا دخلونTwo men, among those who feared [God], to whom God had granted His blessing, said: "Enter upon them by the gate;
قال رجلان من ٱلذين يخافون أنعم ٱلله عليهما ٱدخلوا عليهم ٱلبابonce you have entered it, you will certainly be the victors.
فإذا دخلتموه فإنكم غلبونAnd it is upon God that you should rely, if you are believers."
وعلى ٱلله فتوكلوا إن كنتم مؤمنينThey said: "O Moussa! we will never enter it, as long as they remain there; go, then, you and your Guardian, and fight, both of you; we, we will stay here, sitting."
قالوا يموسى إنا لن ندخلهآ أبدا ما داموا فيها فٱذهب أنت وربك فقتلآ إنا ههنا قعدونHe said: "My Guardian, I hold power only over my own Self
قال رب إني لآ أملك إلا نفسيand my brother;
وأخيso separate us from the people of the oversteppers."
فٱفرق بيننا وبين ٱلقوم ٱلفسقينHe said: "It is, then, forbidden to them, forever,
قال فإنها محرمة عليهمforty years, wandering on the earth.
أربعين سنة يتيهون في ٱلأرضSo do not lament for the people of the oversteppers."
فلا تأس على ٱلقوم ٱلفسقينAnd recite to them, in truth, the information of the two sons of Adam, when each offered an offering: it was accepted from one, and was not accepted from the other.
وٱتل عليهم نبأ ٱبنى ءادم بٱلحق إذ قربا قربانا فتقبل من أحدهما ولم يتقبل من ٱلءاخرThe latter said: "I will certainly kill you."
قال لأقتلنكThe former said: "God accepts only from those who guard themselves.
قال إنما يتقبل ٱلله من ٱلمتقينIf you stretch out your hand toward me to kill me, I will not stretch out my hand toward you to kill you;
لئن بسطت إلى يدك لتقتلني مآ أنا بباسط يدي إليك لأقتلكI fear God, Guardian of all beings.
إني أخاف ٱلله رب ٱلعلمينI want you to return burdened with my transgression and yours, and to be among the companions of the Fire:
إني أريد أن تبوأ بإثمي وإثمك فتكون من أصحب ٱلنارthat is the recompense of the wrongdoers."
وذلك جزؤا ٱلظلمينBut his own Self disposed him to the murder of his brother; he killed him, and thus became among the losers.
فطوعت له نفسه قتل أخيه فقتله فأصبح من ٱلخسرينGod then sent a raven, which scratched the earth, to show him how to conceal his brother's nakedness.
فبعث ٱلله غرابا يبحث في ٱلأرض ليريه كيف يوري سوءة أخيهHe said: "Woe to me! am I unable to be like this raven, and to conceal my brother's nakedness?" And he then became among those who regret.
قال يويلتى أعجزت أن أكون مثل هذا ٱلغراب فأوري سوءة أخي فأصبح من ٱلندمين من أجل ذلكThat is why We prescribed for the Sons of Israel that whoever kills a Self, without it being for [another] Self, or for corruption on the earth, it is as if he had killed all mankind together,
كتبنا على بني إسرءيل أنه من قتل نفسا بغير نفس أو فساد في ٱلأرض فكأنما قتل ٱلناس جميعاand whoever gives life to one [Self], it is as if he had given life to all mankind together.
ومن أحياها فكأنمآ أحيا ٱلناس جميعاOur messengers indeed came to them with clear proofs; then many of them, after that, are indeed excessive on the earth.
ولقد جآءتهم رسلنا بٱلبينت ثم إن كثيرا منهم بعد ذلك في ٱلأرض لمسرفونThe only recompense of those who wage war against God and His messenger, and strive to sow corruption on the earth, is that they be massacred, or crucified, or have their hands and feet cut off on opposite sides, or be banished from the earth.
إنما جزؤا ٱلذين يحاربون ٱلله ورسوله ويسعون في ٱلأرض فسادا أن يقتلوا أو يصلبوا أو تقطع أيديهم وأرجلهم من خلف أو ينفوا من ٱلأرضThat is for them a disgrace in the present life,
ذلك لهم خزي في ٱلدنياand they will have, in the last life, an immense punishment — except those who turn back [to God] before you have power over them; know then that God is Most-Forgiving, Benevolent.
ولهم في ٱلءاخرة عذاب عظيم إلا ٱلذين تابوا من قبل أن تقدروا عليهم فٱعلموا أن ٱلله غفور رحيمO you who have believed! guard yourselves toward God, seek toward Him the means [of nearness], and strive in His way, perhaps you will succeed.
يأيها ٱلذين ءامنوا ٱتقوا ٱلله وٱبتغوا إليه ٱلوسيلة وجهدوا في سبيله لعلكم تفلحونThose who disown, were they to possess all that is on earth, and its equivalent with it, to ransom themselves from the punishment of the Day of Appearance, it would not be accepted from them,
إن ٱلذين كفروا لو أن لهم ما في ٱلأرض جميعا ومثله معه ليفتدوا به من عذاب يوم ٱلقيمة ما تقبل منهمand they will have a painful punishment.
ولهم عذاب أليمThey will want to leave the Fire, but they will not leave it,
يريدون أن يخرجوا من ٱلنار وما هم بخرجين منهاand they will have a lasting punishment.
ولهم عذاب مقيمAnd as for the thief, male and female, stop their supports, as a recompense for what they have earned, as an exemplary punishment from God.
وٱلسارق وٱلسارقة فٱقطعوا أيديهما جزآء بما كسبا نكلا من ٱللهGod is All-Powerful, Wise.
وٱلله عزيز حكيمBut whoever turns back [to God] after his injustice, and reforms, God turns toward him with clemency.
فمن تاب من بعد ظلمه وأصلح فإن ٱلله يتوب عليهGod is indeed Most-Forgiving, Benevolent.
إن ٱلله غفور رحيمDo you not know that to God belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth?
ألم تعلم أن ٱلله له ملك ٱلسموت وٱلأرضHe punishes whom He wills, and He forgives whom He wills.
يعذب من يشآء ويغفر لمن يشآءGod is capable of all things.
وٱلله على كل شىء قديرO messenger! let not those grieve you who hasten into disowning, among those who say: "We have believed" with their mouths, without their cores having believed,
يأيها ٱلرسول لا يحزنك ٱلذين يسرعون في ٱلكفر من ٱلذين قالوا ءامنا بأفوههم ولم تؤمن قلوبهمnor among the Reoriented, listeners to falsehood, listeners on behalf of another people who has not come to you.
ومن ٱلذين هادوا سمعون للكذب سمعون لقوم ءاخرين لم يأتوكThey displace words from their context, saying: "If you are given this, take it; and if you are not given it, beware."
يحرفون ٱلكلم من بعد مواضعه يقولون إن أوتيتم هذا فخذوه وإن لم تؤتوه فٱحذرواAnd whoever God wants to put to the trial, you hold nothing for him against God.
ومن يرد ٱلله فتنته فلن تملك له من ٱلله شياThose are the ones whose cores God has not wanted to purify.
أولئك ٱلذين لم يرد ٱلله أن يطهر قلوبهمThey have, in the present life, a disgrace,
لهم في ٱلدنيا خزيand they will have, in the last life, an immense punishment.
ولهم في ٱلءاخرة عذاب عظيمListeners to falsehood, devourers of illicit gain —
سمعون للكذب أكلون للسحتif they come to you, judge between them, then, or turn away from them;
فإن جآءوك فٱحكم بينهم أو أعرض عنهمand if you turn away from them, they cannot harm you at all.
وإن تعرض عنهم فلن يضروك شياAnd if you judge, judge then between them with equity:
وإن حكمت فٱحكم بينهم بٱلقسطGod loves the equitable.
إن ٱلله يحب ٱلمقسطينAnd how would they take you as judge, when they have the Tawrah, wherein is the judgment of God, and then they turn away from it?
وكيف يحكمونك وعندهم ٱلتورىة فيها حكم ٱلله ثم يتولون من بعد ذلكThese are not believers.
ومآ أولئك بٱلمؤمنينWe indeed sent down the Tawrah, wherein is guidance and light; the prophets, who were true to God alone, judged by it the Reoriented, as did the spiritual masters and the rabbis, according to what they were entrusted to guard of God's Scripture, and they were witnesses to it.
إنآ أنزلنا ٱلتورىة فيها هدى ونور يحكم بها ٱلنبيون ٱلذين أسلموا للذين هادوا وٱلربنيون وٱلأحبار بما ٱستحفظوا من كتب ٱلله وكانوا عليه شهدآءSo do not fear people, but fear Me,
فلا تخشوا ٱلناس وٱخشونand do not buy, with My signs, a paltry price.
ولا تشتروا بايتي ثمنا قليلاAnd those who do not judge according to what God has sent down — those are the disowners.
ومن لم يحكم بمآ أنزل ٱلله فأولئك هم ٱلكفرونAnd We prescribed for them, in it: the Self in exchange for the Self, the eye in exchange for the eye, the nose in exchange for the nose, the ear in exchange for the ear, the tooth in exchange for the tooth, and for wounds, an investigation.
وكتبنا عليهم فيهآ أن ٱلنفس بٱلنفس وٱلعين بٱلعين وٱلأنف بٱلأنف وٱلأذن بٱلأذن وٱلسن بٱلسن وٱلجروح قصاصBut whoever forgoes it as charity, it serves as an expiation for him.
فمن تصدق به فهو كفارة لهAnd those who do not judge according to what God has sent down — those are the wrongdoers.
ومن لم يحكم بمآ أنزل ٱلله فأولئك هم ٱلظلمونAnd We made Issa, son of Maryam, follow in their footsteps, confirming what, of the Tawrah, preceded him,
وقفينا على ءاثرهم بعيسى ٱبن مريم مصدقا لما بين يديه من ٱلتورىةand We gave him the Injil, wherein is guidance and light, confirming what, of the Tawrah, preceded him, and a guidance and an admonition for those who guard themselves.
وءاتينه ٱلإنجيل فيه هدى ونور ومصدقا لما بين يديه من ٱلتورىة وهدى وموعظة للمتقينAnd let the people of the Injil judge according to what God sent down in it.
وليحكم أهل ٱلإنجيل بمآ أنزل ٱلله فيهAnd those who do not judge according to what God has sent down — those are the oversteppers.
ومن لم يحكم بمآ أنزل ٱلله فأولئك هم ٱلفسقونAnd We have sent down to you the Scripture, in truth, confirming what, of the Scripture, preceded it, and prevailing over it.
وأنزلنآ إليك ٱلكتب بٱلحق مصدقا لما بين يديه من ٱلكتب ومهيمنا عليهJudge, then, between them according to what God has sent down,
فٱحكم بينهم بمآ أنزل ٱللهand do not follow their emotions, forsaking what has come to you of the truth.
ولا تتبع أهوآءهم عما جآءك من ٱلحقTo each of you, We have assigned a law and a way.
لكل جعلنا منكم شرعة ومنهاجاAnd had God willed, He would have made you one community;
ولو شآء ٱلله لجعلكم أمة وحدةbut [He did not], so as to test you in what He has given you.
ولكن ليبلوكم في مآ ءاتىكمRace, then, to good deeds.
فٱستبقوا ٱلخيرتTo God will be your return, all together, and He will inform you of what you used to differ over.
إلى ٱلله مرجعكم جميعا فينبئكم بما كنتم فيه تختلفونAnd: judge between them according to what God has sent down,
وأن ٱحكم بينهم بمآ أنزل ٱللهand do not follow their emotions,
ولا تتبع أهوآءهمand be wary lest they turn you away from part of what God has sent down to you.
وٱحذرهم أن يفتنوك عن بعض مآ أنزل ٱلله إليكAnd if they turn away, know then that God wants only to strike them for a part of their offenses.
فإن تولوا فٱعلم أنما يريد ٱلله أن يصيبهم ببعض ذنوبهمAnd many people are indeed oversteppers.
وإن كثيرا من ٱلناس لفسقونWould they then seek the judgment of the age of ignorance?
أفحكم ٱلجهلية يبغونAnd who judges better than God, for a people who possess certainty?
ومن أحسن من ٱلله حكما لقوم يوقنونO you who have believed! do not take the Reoriented and the Helpers as allies:
يأيها ٱلذين ءامنوا لا تتخذوا ٱليهود وٱلنصرى أوليآءthey are allies of one another.
بعضهم أوليآء بعضAnd whoever among you takes them as allies is then of them.
ومن يتولهم منكم فإنه منهمGod indeed does not guide the wrongdoing people.
إن ٱلله لا يهدي ٱلقوم ٱلظلمينYou see those in whose cores is a sickness rushing among them, saying: "We fear that a setback may strike us";
فترى ٱلذين في قلوبهم مرض يسرعون فيهم يقولون نخشى أن تصيبنا دآئرةit may then be that God brings the decisive judgment, or a command from Himself, and they find themselves, for what they hid within themselves, full of regret.
فعسى ٱلله أن يأتي بٱلفتح أو أمر من عنده فيصبحوا على مآ أسروا في أنفسهم ندمين- 5:53🖼
And those who have believed will say: "Are these the ones who swore by God, with the utmost strength of their oaths, to be indeed with you?" Their works have collapsed, and they have found themselves losers.
ويقول ٱلذين ءامنوا أهؤلآء ٱلذين أقسموا بٱلله جهد أيمنهم إنهم لمعكم حبطت أعملهم فأصبحوا خسرين O you who have believed! whoever among you abandons his Law — God will bring a people whom He loves and who love Him, humble toward the believers, firm toward those who disown, striving in the way of God, and fearing not the blame of any blamer.
يأيها ٱلذين ءامنوا من يرتد منكم عن دينه فسوف يأتي ٱلله بقوم يحبهم ويحبونه أذلة على ٱلمؤمنين أعزة على ٱلكفرين يجهدون في سبيل ٱلله ولا يخافون لومة لآئمThat is the favor of God, which He grants to whom He wills.
ذلك فضل ٱلله يؤتيه من يشآءGod is Vast, All-Knowing.
وٱلله وسع عليمYour protector is only God, and His messenger, and those who have believed, those who maintain the Contact and give the purifying alms, while bowing [in service].
إنما وليكم ٱلله ورسوله وٱلذين ءامنوا ٱلذين يقيمون ٱلصلوة ويؤتون ٱلزكوة وهم ركعونAnd whoever takes as ally God, His messenger, and those who have believed — the party of God, those are the victors.
ومن يتول ٱلله ورسوله وٱلذين ءامنوا فإن حزب ٱلله هم ٱلغلبونO you who have believed! do not take as allies those who have made a mockery and a game of your Law, among those to whom the Scripture was given before you, and those who disown.
يأيها ٱلذين ءامنوا لا تتخذوا ٱلذين ٱتخذوا دينكم هزوا ولعبا من ٱلذين أوتوا ٱلكتب من قبلكم وٱلكفار أوليآءAnd guard yourselves toward God, if you are believers.
وٱتقوا ٱلله إن كنتم مؤمنينAnd when you call to the Contact, they take it for mockery and play:
وإذا ناديتم إلى ٱلصلوة ٱتخذوها هزوا ولعباthat is because they are a people who do not reason.
ذلك بأنهم قوم لا يعقلونSay: "O people of the Scripture! do you reproach us for anything other than that we believed in God, in what has been revealed to us, and in what was revealed before, and that most of you are oversteppers?"
قل يأهل ٱلكتب هل تنقمون منآ إلآ أن ءامنا بٱلله ومآ أنزل إلينا ومآ أنزل من قبل وأن أكثركم فسقونSay: "Shall I inform you of a reward worse than that, with God? He whom God has cursed, with whom He was angered, and of whom He made apes and swine, and he who obeyed the Tyrant —
قل هل أنبئكم بشر من ذلك مثوبة عند ٱلله من لعنه ٱلله وغضب عليه وجعل منهم ٱلقردة وٱلخنازير وعبد ٱلطغوتthose are the worst in position, and the most astray from the straight path."
أولئك شر مكانا وأضل عن سوآء ٱلسبيلAnd when they come to you, they say: "We have believed" — while they entered with disowning, and left with it [still].
وإذا جآءوكم قالوا ءامنا وقد دخلوا بٱلكفر وهم قد خرجوا بهGod knows best what they were hiding.
وٱلله أعلم بما كانوا يكتمونAnd you see many of them rushing into transgression, hostility, and the consumption of illicit gain.
وترى كثيرا منهم يسرعون في ٱلإثم وٱلعدون وأكلهم ٱلسحتHow evil is what they used to do!
لبئس ما كانوا يعملونWhy do the spiritual masters and the rabbis not forbid them from uttering transgressive speech and consuming illicit gain!
لولا ينهىهم ٱلربنيون وٱلأحبار عن قولهم ٱلإثم وأكلهم ٱلسحتHow evil is what they used to fabricate!
لبئس ما كانوا يصنعونAnd the Reoriented said: "God's hand is chained."
وقالت ٱليهود يد ٱلله مغلولةMay their hands be chained, and may they be cursed for what they have said!
غلت أيديهم ولعنوا بما قالواNo, His two hands are wide open: He spends as He wills.
بل يداه مبسوطتان ينفق كيف يشآءAnd what has been sent down to you from your Guardian will certainly increase, among many of them, excess and disowning.
وليزيدن كثيرا منهم مآ أنزل إليك من ربك طغينا وكفراAnd We have cast among them enmity and hatred, until the Day of Appearance.
وألقينا بينهم ٱلعدوة وٱلبغضآء إلى يوم ٱلقيمةEvery time they kindle a fire for war, God extinguishes it,
كلمآ أوقدوا نارا للحرب أطفأها ٱللهand they strive to sow corruption on the earth.
ويسعون في ٱلأرض فساداGod does not love those who sow corruption.
وٱلله لا يحب ٱلمفسدينAnd had the people of the Scripture believed and guarded themselves, We would indeed have covered their evil deeds, and We would indeed have admitted them into the Gardens of bliss.
ولو أن أهل ٱلكتب ءامنوا وٱتقوا لكفرنا عنهم سياتهم ولأدخلنهم جنت ٱلنعيمAnd had they maintained the Tawrah, the Injil, and what was revealed to them from their Guardian, they would indeed have eaten of what is above them and of what is beneath their feet.
ولو أنهم أقاموا ٱلتورىة وٱلإنجيل ومآ أنزل إليهم من ربهم لأكلوا من فوقهم ومن تحت أرجلهمAmong them, there is a moderate community,
منهم أمة مقتصدةbut many of them, how evil is what they do!
وكثير منهم سآء ما يعملونO messenger! convey what has been sent down to you from your Guardian,
يأيها ٱلرسول بلغ مآ أنزل إليك من ربكand if you do not do so, you will not have conveyed His message.
وإن لم تفعل فما بلغت رسالتهGod protects you from people.
وٱلله يعصمك من ٱلناسGod does not guide the people who disown.
إن ٱلله لا يهدي ٱلقوم ٱلكفرينSay: "O people of the Scripture! you stand on nothing, until you maintain the Tawrah, the Injil, and what has been revealed to you from your Guardian."
قل يأهل ٱلكتب لستم على شىء حتى تقيموا ٱلتورىة وٱلإنجيل ومآ أنزل إليكم من ربكمAnd what has been sent down to you from your Guardian will certainly increase, among many of them, excess and disowning.
وليزيدن كثيرا منهم مآ أنزل إليك من ربك طغينا وكفراSo do not lament for the people who disown.
فلا تأس على ٱلقوم ٱلكفرينThose who have believed, the Reoriented, the Aspirants, and the Helpers — whoever has believed in God and the Last Day, and done righteous work, no fear upon them, and they will not grieve.
إن ٱلذين ءامنوا وٱلذين هادوا وٱلصبون وٱلنصرى من ءامن بٱلله وٱليوم ٱلءاخر وعمل صلحا فلا خوف عليهم ولا هم يحزنونWe indeed took the solemn engagement of the Sons of Israel, and We sent them messengers.
لقد أخذنا ميثق بني إسرءيل وأرسلنآ إليهم رسلاEvery time a messenger brought them what their Self did not desire, they denied a group, and another group, they killed.
كلما جآءهم رسول بما لا تهوى أنفسهم فريقا كذبوا وفريقا يقتلونAnd they thought there would be no trial; they then became blind and deaf; then God turned toward them with clemency; then, again, they became blind and deaf,
وحسبوا ألا تكون فتنة فعموا وصموا ثم تاب ٱلله عليهم ثم عموا وصمواmany of them.
كثير منهمGod sees perfectly what they do.
وٱلله بصير بما يعملونThey have indeed disowned, those who said: "God, that is Al-Massih, son of Maryam."
لقد كفر ٱلذين قالوا إن ٱلله هو ٱلمسيح ٱبن مريمAnd Al-Massih said: "O sons of Israel! obey God, my Guardian and your Guardian.
وقال ٱلمسيح يبني إسرءيل ٱعبدوا ٱلله ربي وربكمWhoever associates other deities with God, God indeed forbids him the Garden, and his refuge will be the Fire."
إنه من يشرك بٱلله فقد حرم ٱلله عليه ٱلجنة ومأوىه ٱلنارAnd the wrongdoers have no helpers.
وما للظلمين من أنصارThey have indeed disowned, those who said: "God is the third of three."
لقد كفر ٱلذين قالوا إن ٱلله ثالث ثلثةBut there is no deity except one deity.
وما من إله إلآ إله وحدAnd if they do not cease what they say, a painful punishment will certainly touch those among them who have disowned.
وإن لم ينتهوا عما يقولون ليمسن ٱلذين كفروا منهم عذاب أليمWill they not then turn back to God, and ask His forgiveness?
أفلا يتوبون إلى ٱلله ويستغفرونهGod is Most-Forgiving, Benevolent.
وٱلله غفور رحيمAl-Massih, son of Maryam, is only a messenger; messengers indeed passed before him,
ما ٱلمسيح ٱبن مريم إلا رسول قد خلت من قبله ٱلرسلand his mother was a woman of truth;
وأمه صديقةboth of them ate food.
كانا يأكلان ٱلطعامLook how We detail the signs to them, then look how they are turned away!
ٱنظر كيف نبين لهم ٱلءايت ثم ٱنظر أنى يؤفكونSay: "Do you obey, besides God, what holds for you neither harm nor benefit?
قل أتعبدون من دون ٱلله ما لا يملك لكم ضرا ولا نفعاBut God is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing."
وٱلله هو ٱلسميع ٱلعليمSay: "O people of the Scripture! do not exaggerate in your Law, beyond the truth,
قل يأهل ٱلكتب لا تغلوا في دينكم غير ٱلحقand do not follow the emotions of a people who have already gone astray, led many astray, and strayed from the straight path."
ولا تتبعوا أهوآء قوم قد ضلوا من قبل وأضلوا كثيرا وضلوا عن سوآء ٱلسبيلThey have been cursed, those among the Sons of Israel who disowned, by the mouth of Dawud and Issa, son of Maryam.
لعن ٱلذين كفروا من بني إسرءيل على لسان داود وعيسى ٱبن مريمThat is because they disobeyed and crossed the limits.
ذلك بما عصوا وكانوا يعتدونThey did not forbid one another a disavowed act which they committed:
كانوا لا يتناهون عن منكر فعلوهhow evil is what they used to do!
لبئس ما كانوا يفعلونYou see many of them allying themselves with those who disown:
ترى كثيرا منهم يتولون ٱلذين كفرواhow evil is what their Self has prepared for them! God was angered against them, and they abide eternally in the punishment.
لبئس ما قدمت لهم أنفسهم أن سخط ٱلله عليهم وفي ٱلعذاب هم خلدونAnd had they believed in God, in the prophet, and in what was revealed to him, they would not have taken them as allies;
ولو كانوا يؤمنون بٱلله وٱلنبي ومآ أنزل إليه ما ٱتخذوهم أوليآءbut many of them are oversteppers.
ولكن كثيرا منهم فسقونYou will certainly find that the most hostile of people toward those who have believed are the Reoriented and those who have associated,
لتجدن أشد ٱلناس عدوة للذين ءامنوا ٱليهود وٱلذين أشركواand you will certainly find that the closest in affection toward those who have believed are those who say: "We are the Helpers."
ولتجدن أقربهم مودة للذين ءامنوا ٱلذين قالوا إنا نصرىThat is because there are, among them, priests and monks, and they are not arrogant.
ذلك بأن منهم قسيسين ورهبانا وأنهم لا يستكبرونAnd when they hear what has been revealed to the messenger, you see their eyes overflow with tears, for having recognized the truth; they say: "Our Guardian, we have believed; inscribe us, then, among the witnesses.
وإذا سمعوا مآ أنزل إلى ٱلرسول ترى أعينهم تفيض من ٱلدمع مما عرفوا من ٱلحق يقولون ربنآ ءامنا فٱكتبنا مع ٱلشهدينAnd what reason would we have not to believe in God, and in what has come to us of the truth, when we long for our Guardian to admit us with the righteous people?"
وما لنا لا نؤمن بٱلله وما جآءنا من ٱلحق ونطمع أن يدخلنا ربنا مع ٱلقوم ٱلصلحينGod then rewarded them, for what they said, with gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide eternally.
فأثبهم ٱلله بما قالوا جنت تجري من تحتها ٱلأنهر خلدين فيهاThat is the recompense of those who do good.
وذلك جزآء ٱلمحسنينAnd those who have disowned and denied Our signs — those are the companions of the Blaze.
وٱلذين كفروا وكذبوا بايتنآ أولئك أصحب ٱلجحيمO you who have believed! do not forbid the good things God has made lawful for you, and do not cross the limits:
يأيها ٱلذين ءامنوا لا تحرموا طيبت مآ أحل ٱلله لكم ولا تعتدواGod indeed does not love those who cross the limits.
إن ٱلله لا يحب ٱلمعتدينAnd eat of what God has provided you as sustenance, lawful and good,
وكلوا مما رزقكم ٱلله حللا طيباand guard yourselves toward God, in whom you believe.
وٱتقوا ٱلله ٱلذي أنتم به مؤمنونGod will not hold you to account for idle talk in your oaths,
لا يؤاخذكم ٱلله بٱللغو في أيمنكمbut He will hold you to account for the oaths you have firmly concluded.
ولكن يؤاخذكم بما عقدتم ٱلأيمنThe expiation for it will be to feed ten destitute persons, of the best food with which you feed your families, or to clothe them, or to free a person from the burden of a debt;
فكفرته إطعام عشرة مسكين من أوسط ما تطعمون أهليكم أو كسوتهم أو تحرير رقبةand whoever does not find the means, then an abstention of three days.
فمن لم يجد فصيام ثلثة أيامThat is the expiation of your oaths, when you swear.
ذلك كفرة أيمنكم إذا حلفتمAnd keep your oaths.
وٱحفظوا أيمنكمThus does God make His signs clear to you, perhaps you will be grateful.
كذلك يبين ٱلله لكم ءايته لعلكم تشكرونO you who have believed! the combination of wine and games of chance, as well as the sharing by lot of common goods, are nothing but a defilement, the work of the Diverter; avoid them, then, perhaps you will succeed.
يأيها ٱلذين ءامنوا إنما ٱلخمر وٱلميسر وٱلأنصاب وٱلأزلم رجس من عمل ٱلشيطن فٱجتنبوه لعلكم تفلحونThe Diverter wants only to cast, among you, by wine and games of chance, enmity and hatred, and to turn you away from the remembrance of God and from the Contact.
إنما يريد ٱلشيطن أن يوقع بينكم ٱلعدوة وٱلبغضآء في ٱلخمر وٱلميسر ويصدكم عن ذكر ٱلله وعن ٱلصلوةWill you then cease?
فهل أنتم منتهونAnd obey God, and obey the messenger, and beware.
وأطيعوا ٱلله وأطيعوا ٱلرسول وٱحذرواBut if you turn away, know then that only the clear transmission is incumbent upon Our messenger.
فإن توليتم فٱعلموا أنما على رسولنا ٱلبلغ ٱلمبينNo blame upon those who have believed and done righteous deeds, for what they have tasted, so long as they guarded themselves, believed, and did righteous deeds, then guarded themselves and believed, then guarded themselves and did good.
ليس على ٱلذين ءامنوا وعملوا ٱلصلحت جناح فيما طعموا إذا ما ٱتقوا وءامنوا وعملوا ٱلصلحت ثم ٱتقوا وءامنوا ثم ٱتقوا وأحسنواGod loves those who do good.
وٱلله يحب ٱلمحسنينO you who have believed! God will certainly test you with some game that your hands and your spears will reach, so that God may know who fears Him without perceiving Him.
يأيها ٱلذين ءامنوا ليبلونكم ٱلله بشىء من ٱلصيد تناله أيديكم ورماحكم ليعلم ٱلله من يخافه بٱلغيبWhoever crosses the limits after that will have a painful punishment.
فمن ٱعتدى بعد ذلك فله عذاب أليمO you who have believed! do not kill game during the inviolable months.
يأيها ٱلذين ءامنوا لا تقتلوا ٱلصيد وأنتم حرمAnd whoever among you kills it intentionally, an equivalent compensation in cattle, as two just [persons] among you shall decide, as an offering reaching the Ka'ba, or an expiation consisting of feeding the destitute, or the equivalent of that in abstention, so that he may taste the ill consequences of his deed.
ومن قتله منكم متعمدا فجزآء مثل ما قتل من ٱلنعم يحكم به ذوا عدل منكم هديا بلغ ٱلكعبة أو كفرة طعام مسكين أو عدل ذلك صياما ليذوق وبال أمرهGod has effaced what is past;
عفا ٱلله عما سلفbut whoever relapses, God will take vengeance upon him.
ومن عاد فينتقم ٱلله منهGod is All-Powerful, possessor of vengeance.
وٱلله عزيز ذو ٱنتقامLawful for you is made the game of the sea and its food,
أحل لكم صيد ٱلبحر وطعامهas an enjoyment for you and for travelers;
متعا لكم وللسيارةbut forbidden to you is the game of the land for as long as the inviolable months last.
وحرم عليكم صيد ٱلبر ما دمتم حرماAnd guard yourselves toward God, to whom you will be gathered.
وٱتقوا ٱلله ٱلذي إليه تحشرونGod has made the Ka'ba, the Inviolable House, a support [of stability] for mankind, as well as the inviolable month, the voluntary offerings, and the vow-bound offerings.
جعل ٱلله ٱلكعبة ٱلبيت ٱلحرام قيما للناس وٱلشهر ٱلحرام وٱلهدي وٱلقلئدThat, so that you may know that God knows what is in the heavens and what is on the earth, and that God is All-Knowing of all things.
ذلك لتعلموا أن ٱلله يعلم ما في ٱلسموت وما في ٱلأرض وأن ٱلله بكل شىء عليمKnow that God is severe in sanction, and that God is Most-Forgiving, Benevolent.
ٱعلموا أن ٱلله شديد ٱلعقاب وأن ٱلله غفور رحيمUpon the messenger is incumbent only the transmission.
ما على ٱلرسول إلا ٱلبلغGod knows what you show and what you hide.
وٱلله يعلم ما تبدون وما تكتمونSay: "The vile and the good are not equal, even if the abundance of the vile amazes you."
قل لا يستوي ٱلخبيث وٱلطيب ولو أعجبك كثرة ٱلخبيثSo guard yourselves toward God, O possessors of intelligence, perhaps you will succeed.
فٱتقوا ٱلله يأولي ٱلألبب لعلكم تفلحونO you who have believed! do not ask about things which, if disclosed to you, would grieve you.
يأيها ٱلذين ءامنوا لا تسلوا عن أشيآء إن تبد لكم تسؤكمAnd if you ask them while this Recitation is being revealed, they will be disclosed to you. God has effaced that.
وإن تسلوا عنها حين ينزل ٱلقرءان تبد لكم عفا ٱلله عنهاGod is Most-Forgiving, full of patience.
وٱلله غفور حليمA people, before you, asked them, then became, because of them, a people who disown.
قد سألها قوم من قبلكم ثم أصبحوا بها كفرينGod did not institute any bahira, sa'iba, wasila, or ham,
ما جعل ٱلله من بحيرة ولا سآئبة ولا وصيلة ولا حامbut those who disown invent the lie against God, and most of them do not reason.
ولكن ٱلذين كفروا يفترون على ٱلله ٱلكذب وأكثرهم لا يعقلونAnd when it is said to them: "Come to what God has sent down, and to the messenger", they say: "It suffices us what we found our ancestors upon."
وإذا قيل لهم تعالوا إلى مآ أنزل ٱلله وإلى ٱلرسول قالوا حسبنا ما وجدنا عليه ءابآءنآIs that so, even if their ancestors knew nothing, and were not rightly guided?
أولو كان ءابآؤهم لا يعلمون شيا ولا يهتدونO you who have believed! look to yourselves:
يأيها ٱلذين ءامنوا عليكم أنفسكمhe who strays cannot harm you, so long as you are rightly guided.
لا يضركم من ضل إذا ٱهتديتمTo God will be your return, all together, and He will inform you of what you used to do.
إلى ٱلله مرجعكم جميعا فينبئكم بما كنتم تعملونO you who have believed! testimony between you, when death presents itself to one of you, at the time of the testament: two just [persons] among you, or two others, outside your circle, if you are traveling on the earth and the calamity of death strikes you.
يأيها ٱلذين ءامنوا شهدة بينكم إذا حضر أحدكم ٱلموت حين ٱلوصية ٱثنان ذوا عدل منكم أو ءاخران من غيركم إن أنتم ضربتم في ٱلأرض فأصبتكم مصيبة ٱلموتYou will detain them both after the Contact, and they will both swear by God, if you have doubts: "We will not trade it for any price, even toward a relative,
تحبسونهما من بعد ٱلصلوة فيقسمان بٱلله إن ٱرتبتم لا نشتري به ثمنا ولو كان ذا قربىand we will not hide the testimony of God; we would then indeed be among the transgressors."
ولا نكتم شهدة ٱلله إنآ إذا لمن ٱلءاثمينBut if it is discovered that both have been guilty of a transgression, two others will take their place, from among those against whom the wrong was committed, the two nearest [heirs], and they will both swear
فإن عثر على أنهما ٱستحقآ إثما فاخران يقومان مقامهما من ٱلذين ٱستحق عليهم ٱلأولين فيقسمانby God: "Our testimony is indeed more worthy than theirs, and we have not crossed the limits;
بٱلله لشهدتنآ أحق من شهدتهما وما ٱعتدينآwe would then indeed be among the wrongdoers."
إنآ إذا لمن ٱلظلمينThat is closer to their bringing testimony in its proper form, or their fearing that other oaths might be opposed to their oaths.
ذلك أدنى أن يأتوا بٱلشهدة على وجههآ أو يخافوا أن ترد أيمن بعد أيمنهمAnd guard yourselves toward God,
وٱتقوا ٱللهand listen:
وٱسمعواGod does not guide the people of the oversteppers.
وٱلله لا يهدي ٱلقوم ٱلفسقينThe day God gathers the messengers, and says: "What answer were you given?"
يوم يجمع ٱلله ٱلرسل فيقول ماذآ أجبتمThey will say: "We have no knowledge of it; You are the great Knower of what escapes the senses."
قالوا لا علم لنآ إنك أنت علم ٱلغيوبremember when God will say: "O Issa, son of Maryam! remember My blessing upon you and upon your mother, when I reinforced you with the sacred Influx, you spoke to people in the cradle and in maturity,
إذ قال ٱلله يعيسى ٱبن مريم ٱذكر نعمتي عليك وعلى ولدتك إذ أيدتك بروح ٱلقدس تكلم ٱلناس في ٱلمهد وكهلاand when I taught you the Code, the wisdom, the Tawrah, and the Injil;
وإذ علمتك ٱلكتب وٱلحكمة وٱلتورىة وٱلإنجيلand when you fashioned out of clay the form of a bird, with My permission, then breathed into it, and it became a bird, with My permission;
وإذ تخلق من ٱلطين كهية ٱلطير بإذني فتنفخ فيها فتكون طيرا بإذنيand you healed the born-blind and the leper, with My permission;
وتبرئ ٱلأكمه وٱلأبرص بإذنيand when you brought forth the dead, with My permission;
وإذ تخرج ٱلموتى بإذنيand when I restrained from you the Sons of Israel, when you came to them with clear proofs, and those among them who disowned said: "This is nothing but a manifest illusion."
وإذ كففت بني إسرءيل عنك إذ جئتهم بٱلبينت فقال ٱلذين كفروا منهم إن هذآ إلا سحر مبينAnd when I revealed to the disciples: "Believe in Me and in My messenger";
وإذ أوحيت إلى ٱلحوارين أن ءامنوا بي وبرسوليthey said: "We believe, and bear witness that we are true to God alone."
قالوا ءامنا وٱشهد بأننا مسلمونremember when the disciples said: "O Issa, son of Maryam! can your Guardian send down to us a table from the sky?"
إذ قال ٱلحواريون يعيسى ٱبن مريم هل يستطيع ربك أن ينزل علينا مآئدة من ٱلسمآءHe said: "Guard yourselves toward God, if you are believers."
قال ٱتقوا ٱلله إن كنتم مؤمنينThey said: "We want to eat from it, that our cores may find ease, that we may know you have told us the truth, and be witnesses to it."
قالوا نريد أن نأكل منها وتطمئن قلوبنا ونعلم أن قد صدقتنا ونكون عليها من ٱلشهدينIssa, son of Maryam, said: "O God, our Guardian! send down to us a table from the sky, that it be for us a festival, for the first of us as for the last, and a sign from You;
قال عيسى ٱبن مريم ٱللهم ربنآ أنزل علينا مآئدة من ٱلسمآء تكون لنا عيدا لأولنا وءاخرنا وءاية منكand provide for us;
وٱرزقناYou are the best of providers."
وأنت خير ٱلرزقينGod said: "I am sending it down to you; but whoever among you disowns thereafter, I will punish him with a punishment with which I will punish none other among all beings."
قال ٱلله إني منزلها عليكم فمن يكفر بعد منكم فإني أعذبه عذابا لآ أعذبه أحدا من ٱلعلمينAnd remember when God will say: "O Issa, son of Maryam! was it you who said to the people: Take me, and my mother, as two deities besides God?"
وإذ قال ٱلله يعيسى ٱبن مريم ءأنت قلت للناس ٱتخذوني وأمي إلهين من دون ٱللهHe will say: "Glory be to You! it was not for me to say what is not my right.
قال سبحنك ما يكون لي أن أقول ما ليس لي بحقIf I had said it, You would have known it.
إن كنت قلته فقد علمتهYou know what is in my Self, and I do not know what is in Your Self.
تعلم ما في نفسي ولآ أعلم ما في نفسكYou are, You, the great Knower of what escapes the senses.
إنك أنت علم ٱلغيوبI told them only what You ordered me: Obey God, my Guardian and your Guardian;
ما قلت لهم إلا مآ أمرتني به أن ٱعبدوا ٱلله ربي وربكمand I was a witness over them, as long as I remained among them;
وكنت عليهم شهيدا ما دمت فيهمthen, when You took me back to You, it was You who were the Observer over them.
فلما توفيتني كنت أنت ٱلرقيب عليهمAnd You are, over all things, a witness.
وأنت على كل شىء شهيدIf You punish them, they are Your obedient ones;
إن تعذبهم فإنهم عبادكand if You forgive them, You, indeed, are the All-Powerful, the Wise."
وإن تغفر لهم فإنك أنت ٱلعزيز ٱلحكيمGod will say: "This is the day when truthfulness will benefit the truthful.
قال ٱلله هذا يوم ينفع ٱلصدقين صدقهمThey have gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide eternally, forever."
لهم جنت تجري من تحتها ٱلأنهر خلدين فيهآ أبداGod is satisfied with them, and they are satisfied with Him.
رضي ٱلله عنهم ورضوا عنهThat is the immense triumph.
ذلك ٱلفوز ٱلعظيمTo God belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and of what is in them.
لله ملك ٱلسموت وٱلأرض وما فيهنHe is capable of all things.
وهو على كل شىء قدير
