Say: "Is that best, or the eternal garden, promised to the righteous? for them, that is a reward as well as a goal (of attainment).

Is that the better entertainment or the Tree of Zaqqum?

They are on (true) guidance, from their Lord, and it is these who will prosper.

These are they who have bartered Guidance for error: But their traffic is profitless, and they have lost true direction,

Those who break Allah's Covenant after it is ratified, and who sunder what Allah Has ordered to be joined, and do mischief on earth: These cause loss (only) to themselves.

"But those who reject Faith and belie Our Signs, they shall be companions of the Fire; they shall abide therein."

But those who have faith and work righteousness, they are companions of the Garden: Therein shall they abide (For ever).

These are the people who buy the life of this world at the price of the Hereafter: their penalty shall not be lightened nor shall they be helped.

And who is more unjust than he who forbids that in places for the worship of Allah, Allah's name should be celebrated?-whose zeal is (in fact) to ruin them? It was not fitting that such should themselves enter them except in fear. For them there is nothing but disgrace in this world, and in the world to come, an exceeding torment.

Those to whom We have sent the Book study it as it should be studied: They are the ones that believe therein: Those who reject faith therein,- the loss is their own.

They are those on whom (Descend) blessings from Allah, and Mercy, and they are the ones that receive guidance.

Those who conceal the clear (Signs) We have sent down, and the Guidance, after We have made it clear for the people in the Book,-on them shall be Allah's curse, and the curse of those entitled to curse,-

Those who reject Faith, and die rejecting,- on them is Allah's curse, and the curse of angels, and of all mankind;

Those who conceal Allah's revelations in the Book, and purchase for them a miserable profit,- they swallow into themselves naught but Fire; Allah will not address them on the Day of Resurrection. Nor purify them: Grievous will be their penalty.

They are the ones who buy Error in place of Guidance and Torment in place of Forgiveness. Ah! what boldness (They show) for the Fire!

It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces Towards east or West; but it is righteousness- to believe in Allah and the Last Day, and the Angels, and the Book, and the Messengers; to spend of your substance, out of love for Him, for your kin, for orphans, for the needy, for the wayfarer, for those who ask, and for the ransom of slaves; to be steadfast in prayer, and practice regular charity; to fulfil the contracts which ye have made; and to be firm and patient, in pain (or suffering) and adversity, and throughout all periods of panic. Such are the people of truth, the Allah-fearing.

To these will be allotted what they have earned; and Allah is quick in account.

Those who believed and those who suffered exile and fought (and strove and struggled) in the path of Allah,- they have the hope of the Mercy of Allah: And Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.

Do not marry unbelieving women (idolaters), until they believe: A slave woman who believes is better than an unbelieving woman, even though she allures you. Nor marry (your girls) to unbelievers until they believe: A man slave who believes is better than an unbeliever, even though he allures you. Unbelievers do (but) beckon you to the Fire. But Allah beckons by His Grace to the Garden (of bliss) and forgiveness, and makes His Signs clear to mankind: That they may celebrate His praise.

Allah is the Protector of those who have faith: from the depths of darkness He will lead them forth into light. Of those who reject faith the patrons are the evil ones: from light they will lead them forth into the depths of darkness. They will be companions of the fire, to dwell therein (For ever).

They are those whose works will bear no fruit in this world and in the Hereafter nor will they have anyone to help.

As for those who sell the faith they owe to Allah and their own plighted word for a small price, they shall have no portion in the Hereafter: Nor will Allah (Deign to) speak to them or look at them on the Day of Judgment, nor will He cleans them (of sin): They shall have a grievous penalty.

Of such the reward is that on them (rests) the curse of Allah, of His angels, and of all mankind;-

As to those who reject Faith, and die rejecting,- never would be accepted from any such as much gold as the earth contains, though they should offer it for ransom. For such is (in store) a penalty grievous, and they will find no helpers.

For such the reward is forgiveness from their Lord, and Gardens with rivers flowing underneath,- an eternal dwelling: How excellent a recompense for those who work (and strive)!

And there are, certainly, among the People of the Book, those who believe in Allah, in the revelation to you, and in the revelation to them, bowing in humility to Allah: They will not sell the Signs of Allah for a miserable gain! For them is a reward with their Lord, and Allah is swift in account.

Of no effect is the repentance of those who continue to do evil, until death faces one of them, and he says, "Now have I repented indeed;" nor of those who die rejecting Faith: for them have We prepared a punishment most grievous.

They are (men) whom Allah hath cursed: And those whom Allah Hath cursed, thou wilt find, have no one to help.

Those men,-Allah knows what is in their hearts; so keep clear of them, but admonish them, and speak to them a word to reach their very souls.

All who obey Allah and the messenger are in the company of those on whom is the Grace of Allah,- of the prophets (who teach), the sincere (lovers of Truth), the witnesses (who testify), and the Righteous (who do good): Ah! what a beautiful fellowship!

你说：“这是更好的呢？还是应许敬畏者永居其中的乐园更好呢？它是他们所有的报酬和归宿，

那是更善的款待呢？还是攒楛树？

这等人，是遵守他们的主的正道的；这等人，确是成功的。

这等人，以正道换取迷误，所以他们的交易并未获利，他们不是遵循正道的。

他们与真主缔约之後，并断绝真主命人联络的，且在地方上作恶；这等人，确是亏折的。

不信道而且否认我的迹象的人，是火狱的居民，他们将永居其中。”

信道而且行善者，是乐园的居民，他们将永居其中。

这等人，是以後世换取今世生活的，故他们所受的刑罚，不被减轻，他们也不被援助。

阻止人入清真寺去念诵真主的尊名，且图谋拆毁清真寺者，有谁比他们还不义呢？这等人，除非在惶恐之中，不宜进清真寺去。他们在今世将受辱，在後世将受重大的刑罚。

蒙我赏赐经典而切实地加以遵守者，是信那经典的。不信那经典者，是亏折的。

这等人，是蒙真主的祜佑和慈恩的；这等人，确是遵循正道的。

我在经典中为世人阐明正道之後，隐讳我所降示的明证和正道的人，真主弃绝他们；一般诅咒者，都诅咒他们。

终身不信道、临死还不信道的人，必受真主的弃绝，必受天神和人类全体的诅咒。

隐讳真主所降示的经典，而以廉价出卖它的人，只是把火吞到肚子里去，在复活日，真主既不和他们说话，又不涤除他们的罪恶，他们将受痛苦的刑罚。

这等人，以正道换取迷误，以赦宥换取刑罚，他们真能忍受火刑！

你们把自己的脸转向东方和西方，都不是正义。正义是信真主，信末日，信天神，信天经，信先知，并将所爱的财产施济亲戚、孤儿、贫民、旅客、乞丐和赎取奴隶，并谨守拜功，完纳天课，履行约言，忍受穷困、患难和战争。这等人，确是忠贞的；这等人，确是敬畏的。

这等人，将因他们的营求而享受一部分的报酬。真主的清算是神速的。

信道的人，离别故乡并且为主道而奋斗的人，这等人他们的确希望真主的慈恩。真主是至赦的，是至慈的。

你们不要娶以物配主的妇女，直到她们信道。已信道的奴婢，的确胜过以物配主的妇女，即使她使你们爱慕她。你们不要把自己的女儿嫁给以物配主的男人，直到他们信道。已信道的奴仆，的确胜过以物配主的男人，即使他使你们爱慕他。这等人叫你们入火狱，真主却随意地叫你们入乐园，和得到赦宥。他为世人阐明他的迹象，以便他们觉悟。

真主是信道的人的保佑者，使他们从重重黑暗走入光明；不信道的人的保佑者是恶魔，使他们从光明走入重重黑暗。这等人，是火狱的居民，他们将永居其中。

这等人的善功,在今世和后世,完全无效,他们绝没有援助者。

以真主的盟约和自已的盟誓换取些微代价的人，在后世不获恩典，复活日，真主不和他们说话，不睬他们，不涤清他们的罪恶，他们将受痛苦的刑罚。

这等人的报应，是遭受真主的弃绝与天神和人类的共同的咒诅；

在世时没有信道，临死时仍不信道的人，即使以满地的黄金赎罪，也不被接受，这等人将受痛苦的刑罚，他们绝没有任何援助者。

这等人的报酬，是从他们的主发出的赦宥，和下临诸河的乐园，他们得永居其中。遵行者的报酬真优美！

信奉天经的人中，的确有人信仰真主，信仰你们所受的启示，和他们所受的启示；同时，他们是敬事真主的，他们不以真主的迹象换取些微的代价，这等人，将在他们的主那里享受他们的报酬。真主确是清算神速的。

终身作恶，临死才说：“现在我确已悔罪”的人，不蒙赦宥；临死还不信道的人，也不蒙赦宥。这等人，我已为他们预备了痛苦的刑罚。

这等人，是真主所弃绝的；真主弃绝谁，你绝不能为谁发现他有任何援助者。

这等人，真主是知道他们的心事的，故你当宽恕他们，当劝戒他们，当对他们说惊心动魄的话。

凡服从真主和使者的人，教与真主所护佑的众先知，忠信的人，诚笃的人，善良的人同在。这等人，是很好的伙伴。
