وَآتَينا موسَى الكِتابَ وَجَعَلناهُ هُدًى لِبَني إِسرائيلَ أَلّا تَتَّخِذوا مِن دوني وَكيلًا
We gave Moses the Scripture and made it a guide for the Children of Israel: “Take no protector other than Me.”
ذُرِّيَّةَ مَن حَمَلنا مَعَ نوحٍ ۚ إِنَّهُ كانَ عَبدًا شَكورًا
The descendants of those We carried with Noah; a thankful servant he was.
وَقَضَينا إِلىٰ بَني إِسرائيلَ فِي الكِتابِ لَتُفسِدُنَّ فِي الأَرضِ مَرَّتَينِ وَلَتَعلُنَّ عُلُوًّا كَبيرًا
We forewarned the Children of Israel in the Scripture: “Twice you will spread corruption on earth, and you will ascend to a great height.”
فَإِذا جاءَ وَعدُ أولاهُما بَعَثنا عَلَيكُم عِبادًا لَنا أُولي بَأسٍ شَديدٍ فَجاسوا خِلالَ الدِّيارِ ۚ وَكانَ وَعدًا مَفعولًا
When the first of these prophecies came to pass, We sent against you Our servants of formidable might, they ravaged through the homes, and it was a fulfilled warning.
ثُمَّ رَدَدنا لَكُمُ الكَرَّةَ عَلَيهِم وَأَمدَدناكُم بِأَموالٍ وَبَنينَ وَجَعَلناكُم أَكثَرَ نَفيرًا
Then, We gave you victory over them, reinforced you with wealth and children, and made you more numerous in human resources.
إِن أَحسَنتُم أَحسَنتُم لِأَنفُسِكُم ۖ وَإِن أَسَأتُم فَلَها ۚ فَإِذا جاءَ وَعدُ الآخِرَةِ لِيَسوءوا وُجوهَكُم وَلِيَدخُلُوا المَسجِدَ كَما دَخَلوهُ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ وَلِيُتَبِّروا ما عَلَوا تَتبيرًا
If you do good, it’s for yourself. If you do evil, it’s against yourselves. Then, when the second warning was fulfilled, they disfigured your faces, entered the temple as they had entered it the first time, and utterly ravaged all that they overran.
عَسىٰ رَبُّكُم أَن يَرحَمَكُم ۚ وَإِن عُدتُم عُدنا ۘ وَجَعَلنا جَهَنَّمَ لِلكافِرينَ حَصيرًا
Perhaps your Lord will have mercy on you. If you revert, We will revert. We made Hell a prison for the disbelievers.
إِنَّ هـٰذَا القُرآنَ يَهدي لِلَّتي هِيَ أَقوَمُ وَيُبَشِّرُ المُؤمِنينَ الَّذينَ يَعمَلونَ الصّالِحاتِ أَنَّ لَهُم أَجرًا كَبيرًا
This Quran guides to what’s most upright and gives good news to the believers who do good deeds, that they’ll have a great reward.
وَأَنَّ الَّذينَ لا يُؤمِنونَ بِالآخِرَةِ أَعتَدنا لَهُم عَذابًا أَليمًا
For those who don’t believe in the Hereafter, We prepared a painful punishment.
وَيَدعُ الإِنسانُ بِالشَّرِّ دُعاءَهُ بِالخَيرِ ۖ وَكانَ الإِنسانُ عَجولًا
Man prays for harm as he prays for good; man has always been hasty.
وَجَعَلنَا اللَّيلَ وَالنَّهارَ آيَتَينِ ۖ فَمَحَونا آيَةَ اللَّيلِ وَجَعَلنا آيَةَ النَّهارِ مُبصِرَةً لِتَبتَغوا فَضلًا مِن رَبِّكُم وَلِتَعلَموا عَدَدَ السِّنينَ وَالحِسابَ ۚ وَكُلَّ شَيءٍ فَصَّلناهُ تَفصيلًا
We made the night and the day two marvels. We erased the marvel of the night, and made the marvel of the day illuminating, so that you may seek bounty from your Lord, and may know the number of years and calculations. We explained everything in detail.
