and they drew on themselves wrath
we (would have been) killed
surely (would have) come out
And that Allah might test
of what (is in) the breasts.
(even as much as) a hair on a date seed.
then indeed, you (will be)
against whose right (had deposed)
testimony of the other two
but they showed arrogance
surely they (would) have followed you
certainly we (would) have come forth
(is) the Acceptor of repentance,
(who will be) overcoming?
will not ask one another.
but receive the glad tidings
(that) already passed away
at (the) remembrance (of) Allah
(are) defiantly disobedient.
certainly He (would) have punished them
And remember ye said: "O Moses! we cannot endure one kind of food (always); so beseech thy Lord for us to produce for us of what the earth groweth, -its pot-herbs, and cucumbers, Its garlic, lentils, and onions." He said: "Will ye exchange the better for the worse? Go ye down to any town, and ye shall find what ye want!" They were covered with humiliation and misery; they drew on themselves the wrath of Allah. This because they went on rejecting the Signs of Allah and slaying His Messengers without just cause. This because they rebelled and went on transgressing.
Hast thou not Turned thy vision to the Chiefs of the Children of Israel after (the time of) Moses? they said to a prophet (That was) among them: "Appoint for us a king, that we May fight in the cause of Allah." He said: "Is it not possible, if ye were commanded to fight, that that ye will not fight?" They said: "How could we refuse to fight in the cause of Allah, seeing that we were turned out of our homes and our families?" but when they were commanded to fight, they turned back, except a small band among them. But Allah Has full knowledge of those who do wrong.
Shame is pitched over them (Like a tent) wherever they are found, except when under a covenant (of protection) from Allah and from men; they draw on themselves wrath from Allah, and pitched over them is (the tent of) destitution. This because they rejected the Signs of Allah, and slew the prophets in defiance of right; this because they rebelled and transgressed beyond bounds.

After (the excitement) of the distress, He sent down calm on a band of you overcome with slumber, while another band was stirred to anxiety by their own feelings, Moved by wrong suspicions of Allah-suspicions due to ignorance. They said: "What affair is this of ours?" Say thou: "Indeed, this affair is wholly Allah's." They hide in their minds what they dare not reveal to thee. They say (to themselves): "If we had had anything to do with this affair, We should not have been in the slaughter here." Say: "Even if you had remained in your homes, those for whom death was decreed would certainly have gone forth to the place of their death"; but (all this was) that Allah might test what is in your breasts and purge what is in your hearts. For Allah knoweth well the secrets of your hearts.
Hast thou not turned Thy vision to those who were told to hold back their hands (from fight) but establish regular prayers and spend in regular charity? When (at length) the order for fighting was issued to them, behold! a section of them feared men as - or even more than - they should have feared Allah: They said: "Our Lord! Why hast Thou ordered us to fight? Wouldst Thou not Grant us respite to our (natural) term, near (enough)?" Say: "Short is the enjoyment of this world: the Hereafter is the best for those who do right: Never will ye be dealt with unjustly in the very least!
(But) among (their) Allah-fearing men were two on whom Allah had bestowed His grace: They said: "Assault them at the (proper) Gate: when once ye are in, victory will be yours; But on Allah put your trust if ye have faith."
But if it gets known that these two were guilty of the sin (of perjury), let two others stand forth in their places,- nearest in kin from among those who claim a lawful right: let them swear by Allah: "We affirm that our witness is truer than that of those two, and that we have not trespassed (beyond the truth): if we did, behold! the wrong be upon us!"
Some He hath guided: Others have (by their choice) deserved the loss of their way; in that they took the evil ones, in preference to Allah, for their friends and protectors, and think that they receive guidance.
So We sent (plagues) on them: Wholesale death, Locusts, Lice, Frogs, And Blood: Signs openly self-explained: but they were steeped in arrogance,- a people given to sin.
Every time the penalty fell on them, they said: "O Moses! on your behalf call on thy Lord in virtue of his promise to thee: If thou wilt remove the penalty from us, we shall truly believe in thee, and we shall send away the Children of Israel with thee."
"Those who follow the messenger, the unlettered Prophet, whom they find mentioned in their own (scriptures),- in the law and the Gospel;- for he commands them what is just and forbids them what is evil; he allows them as lawful what is good (and pure) and prohibits them from what is bad (and impure); He releases them from their heavy burdens and from the yokes that are upon them. So it is those who believe in him, honour him, help him, and follow the light which is sent down with him,- it is they who will prosper."
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.

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.
(He turned in mercy also) to the three who were left behind; (they felt guilty) to such a degree that the earth seemed constrained to them, for all its spaciousness, and their (very) souls seemed straitened to them,- and they perceived that there is no fleeing from Allah (and no refuge) but to Himself. Then He turned to them, that they might repent: for Allah is Oft-Returning, Most Merciful.
Thus have we sent thee amongst a People before whom (long since) have (other) Peoples (gone and) passed away; in order that thou mightest rehearse unto them what We send down unto thee by inspiration; yet do they reject (Him), the Most Gracious! Say: "He is my Lord! There is no god but He! On Him is my trust, and to Him do I turn!"
Those before them did also plot (against Allah's Way): but Allah took their structures from their foundations, and the roof fell down on them from above; and the Wrath seized them from directions they did not perceive.
Nay, We gave the good things of this life to these men and their fathers until the period grew long for them; See they not that We gradually reduce the land (in their control) from its outlying borders? Is it then they who will win?
But We raised up (new) generations, and long were the ages that passed over them; but thou wast not a dweller among the people of Madyan, rehearsing Our Signs to them; but it is We Who send messengers (with inspiration).
Those against whom the charge will be proved, will say: "Our Lord! These are the ones whom we led astray: we led them astray, as we were astray ourselves: we free ourselves (from them) in Thy presence: it was not us they worshipped."
Then the (whole) story that Day will seem obscure to them (like light to the blind) and they will not be able (even) to question each other.
And We have destined for them intimate companions (of like nature), who made alluring to them what was before them and behind them; and the sentence among the previous generations of Jinns and men, who have passed away, is proved against them; for they are utterly lost.
In the case of those who say, "Our Lord is Allah", and, further, stand straight and steadfast, the angels descend on them (from time to time): "Fear ye not!" (they suggest), "Nor grieve! but receive the Glad Tidings of the Garden (of Bliss), the which ye were promised!
And neither heaven nor earth shed a tear over them: nor were they given a respite (again).
Such are they against whom is proved the sentence among the previous generations of Jinns and men, that have passed away; for they will be (utterly) lost.
And in the 'Ad (people) (was another Sign): Behold, We sent against them the devastating Wind:
Has not the Time arrived for the Believers that their hearts in all humility should engage in the remembrance of Allah and of the Truth which has been revealed (to them), and that they should not become like those to whom was given Revelation aforetime, but long ages passed over them and their hearts grew hard? For many among them are rebellious transgressors.
The Evil One has got the better of them: so he has made them lose the remembrance of Allah. They are the Party of the Evil One. Truly, it is the Party of the Evil One that will perish!
And had it not been that Allah had decreed banishment for them, He would certainly have punished them in this world: And in the Hereafter they shall (certainly) have the Punishment of the Fire.
当时,你们说:“穆萨啊!专吃一样食物,我们绝不能忍受,所以请你替我们请求你的主,为我们生出大地所产的蔬菜──黄瓜、大蒜、扁豆和玉葱。”他说:“难道你们要以较贵的换取较贱的吗?你们到一座城里去吧!你们必得自己所请求的食物。”他们陷於卑贱和穷困中,他们应受真主的谴怒。这是因为他们不信真主的迹象,而且枉杀众先知;这又是因为他们违抗主命,超越法度。
你不知道穆萨死後以色列人中的领袖吗?当时他们对一个同族的先知说:“请你替我们立一个国王,我们就为主道而战斗。”他说:“如果战斗成为你们的定制,你们会不战斗吗?”他们说:“我们已被敌人逐出故乡,父子离散,我们怎能不为主道而战斗呢?”战斗已成为他们的定制的时候,他们除少数人外,都违背命令了。真主是全知不义的人的。
他们无论在那里出现,都要陷于卑贱之中,除非借真主的和约与众人的和约不能安居,他们应受真主的谴怒,他们要陷于困苦之中。这是因为他们不信真主的迹象,而且枉杀众先知,这又是因为他们违抗主命,超越法度。

在忧患之后,他又降安宁给你们,使你们中一部分人瞌睡;另一部分人则为自身而焦虑,他们象蒙昧时代的人一样,对真主妄加猜测,他们说:“我们有一点胜利的希望吗?”你说:“一切事情,的确都是真主所主持的。”他们的心里怀着不敢对你表示的恶意;他们说:“假若我们有一点胜利的希望,我们的同胞不致阵亡在这里。”你说:“假若你们坐在家里,那么命中注定要阵亡的人,必定外出,走到他们阵亡的地方;(真主这样做),以便他试验你们的心事,锻炼你们心中的信仰。真主是全知心事的。”
难道你没有看见吗?有人曾对他们说:“你们当制止自己的武力,当谨守拜功,当完纳天课。”当真主以抗战为他们的定制的时候,他们中有一部分人畏惧敌人,犹如畏惧真主,乃至更加畏惧。他们说:“我们的主啊!你为什么以抗战为我们的定制呢?你为什么不让我们延迟到一个临近的日期呢?”你说:“今世的享受,是些微的;后世的报酬,对于敬畏者,是更好的。你们不受一丝毫的亏枉。”
敬畏者当中有两个人,曾蒙真主的恩惠,他们俩说:“你们从城门进攻他们吧!你们攻进城门的时候,必能战胜他们。你们只应该信托真主,如果你们是信士的话。”
如果发现他们俩犯罪的证据,那末,别的两个人代替他们俩。(那两个人),应当是享有权利的人中与死者最亲近的人。他们俩应奉真主之名发誓:”我们俩的作证,是比他们俩的作证更真实的。我们俩没有超越法度;否则,我们俩必是不义的人。”
一伙人,他曾加以引导;一伙人,是该迷误的(他曾加以弃绝)。他们确已舍真主而以恶魔为保佑者,还以为自己是遵循正道的。”
故我使水灾、蝗虫、虱子、青蛙、血液等作为明证去磨难他们。但他们自大,他们是犯罪的民众。
当他们遭遇天灾的时候,他们说:“穆萨啊!你的主与你有约在先,请你祈祷他,如果你能替我们消除天灾,那末,我们就一定信仰你,一定释放以色列的后裔,让他们同你去。”
他们顺从使者--不识字的先知,他们在自己所有的《讨拉特》和《引支勒》中发现关于他的记载。他命令他们行善,禁止他们作恶,准许他们吃佳美的食物,禁戒他们吃污秽的食物,卸脱他们的重担,解除他们的桎梏,故凡信仰他,尊重他,援助他,而且遵循与他一起降临的光明的人,都是成功者。
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。

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。
他也允许那三个人悔过,他们留待真主的命令,感到大地虽广,他们觉得无地自容;心境也觉得很狭隘,相信除向真主悔过外,无法逃避真主的震怒。此后,他允许了他们悔过,以便他们自新。真主确是至恕的,确是至慈的。
我这样派遣你去教化一个民族,在他们之前有许多民族确已逝去了,以便你对他们宣读我所启示你的经典,他们是不信至仁主的。你说:“他是我的主,除他之外,绝无应受崇拜的。我只信托他,我只以他为依归。”
前人确已用计谋,但真主把他们的建筑物彻底加以摧毁,而他们的屋顶落在他们的身上。刑罚从他们料想不到的地方来临他们。
不然,我使这等人和他们的祖先得享受安乐,直到他们的寿命延长。 难道他们不知道我来缩小他们的边境吗?难道他们是战胜者吗?
但我创造了许多世纪,那些世代曾经过漫长的岁月。你没有居住在麦德彦人之间,对他们宣读我的迹象,但我是派遣使者的。
受判决的人们说:“我们的主啊!我们曾使这些人迷误,固然我们迷误他们,但他们象我们自己一样迷误了。我们向你声明:我们与他们无干,他们没有崇拜我们。”
在那日,一切口供将对他们变成暧昧的,所以他们不相询问。
我已为他们预定许多魔伴,而那些魔伴,以他们生前或死后的事情迷惑他们,他们应当受刑罚的判决,而入于以前逝去的精灵和人类的若干民族之中,而预言对他们实现,他们确是亏折者。
凡说过”我们的主是真主”,然后遵循正道者,众天神将来临他们,说:“你们不要恐惧,不要忧愁,你们应当为你们被预许的乐园而高兴。
天地没有哭他们,他们也没有获得缓刑。
这等人,应当受刑罚的判决,而入于以前逝去的精灵和人类的各民族之中;他们确是亏折的。
在阿德人的故事里,也有一种迹象。当时,我曾使无益的暴风去毁灭他们,
难道信士们以为时间还未到,故他们的心不为真主的教诲和他所降示的真理而柔和吗?他们不可以象以前曾奉天经的人们那样,经过长时期后,他们的心就变硬了,他们中有许多人是犯罪的。
恶魔已经制服了他们,因而使他们忘却真主的教训;这等人,是恶魔的党羽。真的,恶魔的党羽确是亏折的。
假若真主没有判决他们应受放逐,他必在今世惩罚他们;他们在后世,将受火刑。
