Fain would they deceive Allah and those who believe, but they only deceive themselves, and realise (it) not!

And We gave you the shade of clouds and sent down to you Manna and quails, saying: "Eat of the good things We have provided for you:" (But they rebelled); to us they did no harm, but they harmed their own souls.

Miserable is the price for which they have sold their souls, in that they deny (the revelation) which Allah has sent down, in insolent envy that Allah of His Grace should send it to any of His servants He pleases: Thus have they drawn on themselves Wrath upon Wrath. And humiliating is the punishment of those who reject Faith.

They followed what the evil ones gave out (falsely) against the power of Solomon: the blasphemers Were, not Solomon, but the evil ones, teaching men Magic, and such things as came down at babylon to the angels Harut and Marut. But neither of these taught anyone (Such things) without saying: "We are only for trial; so do not blaspheme." They learned from them the means to sow discord between man and wife. But they could not thus harm anyone except by Allah's permission. And they learned what harmed them, not what profited them. And they knew that the buyers of (magic) would have no share in the happiness of the Hereafter. And vile was the price for which they did sell their souls, if they but knew!

It is the wish of a section of the People of the Book to lead you astray. But they shall lead astray (Not you), but themselves, and they do not perceive!

What they spend in the life of this (material) world May be likened to a wind which brings a nipping frost: It strikes and destroys the harvest of men who have wronged their own souls: it is not Allah that hath wronged them, but they wrong themselves.

What they spend in the life of this (material) world May be likened to a wind which brings a nipping frost: It strikes and destroys the harvest of men who have wronged their own souls: it is not Allah that hath wronged them, but they wrong themselves.

And those who, having done something to be ashamed of, or wronged their own souls, earnestly bring Allah to mind, and ask for forgiveness for their sins,- and who can forgive sins except Allah?- and are never obstinate in persisting knowingly in (the wrong) they have done.

Hast thou not turned Thy vision to those who claim sanctity for themselves? Nay-but Allah Doth sanctify whom He pleaseth. But never will they fail to receive justice in the least little thing.

We sent not a messenger, but to be obeyed, in accordance with the will of Allah. If they had only, when they were unjust to themselves, come unto thee and asked Allah's forgiveness, and the Messenger had asked forgiveness for them, they would have found Allah indeed Oft-returning, Most Merciful.

Contend not on behalf of such as betray their own souls; for Allah loveth not one given to perfidy and crime:

But for the Grace of Allah to thee and his Mercy, a party of them would certainly have plotted to lead thee astray. But (in fact) they will only Lead their own souls astray, and to thee they can do no harm in the least. For Allah hath sent down to thee the Book and wisdom and taught thee what thou Knewest not (before): And great is the Grace of Allah unto thee.

Say: "To whom belongeth all that is in the heavens and on earth?" Say: "To Allah. He hath inscribed for Himself (the rule of) Mercy. That He will gather you together for the Day of Judgment, there is no doubt whatever. It is they who have lost their own souls, that will not believe.

Those to whom We have given the Book know this as they know their own sons. Those who have lost their own souls refuse therefore to believe.

Others they keep away from it, and themselves they keep away; but they only destroy their own souls, and they perceive it not.

Those whose scale will be light, will be their souls in perdition, for that they wrongfully treated Our signs.

Do they just wait for the final fulfilment of the event? On the day the event is finally fulfilled, those who disregarded it before will say: "The messengers of our Lord did indeed bring true (tidings). Have we no intercessors now to intercede on our behalf? Or could we be sent back? then should we behave differently from our behaviour in the past." In fact they will have lost their souls, and the things they invented will leave them in the lurch.

We divided them into twelve tribes or nations. We directed Moses by inspiration, when his (thirsty) people asked him for water: "Strike the rock with thy staff": out of it there gushed forth twelve springs: Each group knew its own place for water. We gave them the shade of clouds, and sent down to them manna and quails, (saying): "Eat of the good things We have provided for you": (but they rebelled); to Us they did no harm, but they harmed their own souls.

No aid can they give them, nor can they aid themselves!

"But those ye call upon besides Him, are unable to help you, and indeed to help themselves."

If there had been immediate gain (in sight), and the journey easy, they would (all) without doubt have followed thee, but the distance was long, (and weighed) on them. They would indeed swear by Allah, "If we only could, we should certainly have come out with you": They would destroy their own souls; for Allah doth know that they are certainly lying.

Hath not the story reached them of those before them?- the People of Noah, and 'Ad, and Thamud; the People of Abraham, the men of Midian, and the cities overthrown. To them came their messengers with clear signs. It is not Allah Who wrongs them, but they wrong their own souls.

Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise): they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain: a promise binding on Him in truth, through the Law, the Gospel, and the Qur'an: and who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah? then rejoice in the bargain which ye have concluded: that is the achievement supreme.

Verily Allah will not deal unjustly with man in aught: It is man that wrongs his own soul.

They are the ones who have lost their own souls: and the (fancies) they invented have left them in the lurch!

It was not We that wronged them: They wronged their own souls: the deities, other than Allah, whom they invoked, profited them no whit when there issued the decree of thy Lord: Nor did they add aught (to their lot) but perdition!

"And ye dwelt in the dwellings of men who wronged their own souls; ye were clearly shown how We dealt with them; and We put forth (many) parables in your behoof!"

Do the (ungodly) wait until the angels come to them, or there comes the Command of thy Lord (for their doom)? So did those who went before them. But Allah wronged them not: nay, they wronged their own souls.

To the Jews We prohibited such things as We have mentioned to thee before: We did them no wrong, but they were used to doing wrong to themselves.

But those whose balance is light, will be those who have lost their souls, in Hell will they abide.

他们想欺瞒真主和信士，其实，他们只是自欺，却不觉悟。

我曾使白云荫蔽你们，又降甘露和鹌鹑给你们。你们可以吃我所供给你们的佳美食物。他们没有损害我，但他们自欺。

他们因真主把他的恩惠降给他所意欲的仆人，故他们心怀嫉妒，因而不信真主所降示的经典；他们为此而出卖自己，他们所得的代价真恶劣。故他们应受加倍的谴怒。不信道者，将受凌辱的刑罚。

他们遵随众恶魔对於素莱曼的国权所宣读的诬蔑言论──素莱曼没有叛道，众恶魔却叛道了──他们教人魔术，并将巴比伦的两个天神哈鲁特和马鲁特所得的魔术教人。他们俩在教授任何人之前，必说：“我们只是试验，故你不可叛道。”他们就从他们俩学了可以离间夫妻的魔术，但不得真主的许可，他们绝不能用魔术伤害任何人。他们学了对自己有害而无益的东西。他们确已知道谁购取魔术，谁在後世绝无福分。他们只以此出卖自己，这代价真恶劣！假若他们知道，（必不肯学）。

信奉天经的人中有一部分人，希望使你们迷误，其实，他们只能使自己迷误，他们却不自觉。

他们在今世生活中所施舍的，譬如寒风吹向自欺的民众的禾稼上，就把它毁灭了。真主没有亏枉他们，但他们自欺。

他们在今世生活中所施舍的，譬如寒风吹向自欺的民众的禾稼上，就把它毁灭了。真主没有亏枉他们，但他们自欺。

敬畏者，当做了丑事或自欺的时候，记念真主，且为自己的罪恶而求饶--除真主外，谁能赦宥罪恶呢？--他们没有明知故犯地怙恶不悛。

难道你没有看见自称清白的人吗？不然，真主使他所意欲的人清白，他们不受一丝毫的亏枉。

我派遣使者，只为要人奉真主的命令而服从他。他们自欺的时候，假若他们来见你，而且向真主求饶，使者也替他们求饶，那末，他们必发现真主是至宥的，是至慈的。

你不要替自欺者辩护。真主的确不喜欢奸诈的犯罪者。

假若没有真主赐你恩惠和慈恩，那末，他们中的一部分人，必欲使你迷误；他们只能使自己迷误，他们不能伤害你一丝毫。真主降示你天经和智慧，并以你所不知道的（义理）教导你。真主赐你的恩惠是重大的。

你说：“天地万物是谁的？”你说：“是真主的。”他曾以慈悯为自己的责任。他必在无疑的复活日集合你们。亏折自身的人，是不信道的。

蒙我赏赐经典的人，认识他，犹如认识自己的儿女一样。亏折自身的人，是不信他的。

他们禁止别人信仰他，而自己也远离他；他们只是在毁灭自己，却不自觉。

善功的分量较轻的人，将因生前不信我的迹象而亏折自身。

他们只等待那部经典的效果，他的效果到来的日子，从前忘记这经典的人将会说：“我们的主的众使者，确已昭示真理了！我们有几位说情的人来替我们说情，或准我们返回尘世去，舍罪恶而立善功吗？”他们确已亏折了自身，他们所捏造的事已回避他们了。

我把他们分为十二支派，即部落。当穆萨的宗族向他求水的时候，我启示他说：“你用你的手杖打那磐石吧。”十二股泉水就从那磐石里涌出来，各部落都知道自己的饮水处。我以白云荫蔽他们，又降下甘露和鹌鹑给他们。（我对他们说）：”你们可以吃我所供给你们的佳美的食物。”他们没有亏负我，但他们自亏了。

那些东西不能助人，也不能自助。

你们舍他而祈祷的偶像，不能助你们，也不能自助。”

假若那是临近的浮利和中程的旅行，他们必定追随你，但那距离对他们太遥远了。他们将以真主发誓说：“假若我们能出征，我们必定与你们一道出征。”他们自陷于灭亡。真主知道，他们确是说谎的。

在他们以前逝去的民族，有努哈的宗族，阿德人和赛莫德人，易卜拉欣的宗族，麦德彦的居民和被倾覆的城市的居民，难道那些人的消息没有来临他们吗？那些人的使者们昭示他们许多明证，故真主不致于亏枉他们，但他们自欺了。

真主确已用乐园换取信士们的生命和财产。他们为真主而战斗；他们或杀敌致果，或杀身成仁。那是真实的应许，记录在《讨拉特》、《引支勒》和《古兰经》中。谁比真主更能践约呢？你们要为自己所缔结的契约而高兴。那正是伟大的成功。

真主的确毫不亏待人们，但人们却亏待自己。

这等人是自亏的。他们所捏造的，已回避他们了。

我没有亏待他们，但他们亏待自己。他们舍真主而祈祷的众神灵，当你的主的命令降临的时候，对于他们无济于事，只使他们更受损伤。

你们曾居住在自亏者所住的地方，而且明白我是怎样处治他们的。我也为你们打了许多比方。

（不信道者）只能等待天神们来临他们，或等待你的主的命令降临。在他们之前的人就是这样做的。真主没有亏枉他们，但他们却亏枉了自己。

对犹太教徒，我曾禁戒我从前所告诉过你的那些食物，我没有亏枉他们，但他们亏枉了自己。

凡善功的分量轻的，都是亏损的，他们将永居火狱之中。
