those who associate partners (with Allah),
(there should) be sent down
(is) the Possessor of [the] Bounty
they could lead you astray,
with a great amount of wealth
concerning the unlettered people
any [way] (accountability).`

O those endowed with insight!
a (perpetual) circulation
the People of the Scripture,
certainly we will help you.`
It is never the wish of those without Faith among the People of the Book, nor of the Pagans, that anything good should come down to you from your Lord. But Allah will choose for His special Mercy whom He will - for Allah is Lord of grace abounding.
Quite a number of the People of the Book wish they could Turn you (people) back to infidelity after ye have believed, from selfish envy, after the Truth hath become Manifest unto them: But forgive and overlook, Till Allah accomplish His purpose; for Allah Hath power over all things.
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!
A section of the People of the Book say: "Believe in the morning what is revealed to the believers, but reject it at the end of the day; perchance they may (themselves) Turn back;
Among the People of the Book are some who, if entrusted with a hoard of gold, will (readily) pay it back; others, who, if entrusted with a single silver coin, will not repay it unless thou constantly stoodest demanding, because, they say, "there is no call on us (to keep faith) with these ignorant (Pagans)." but they tell a lie against Allah, and (well) they know it.
Not all of them are alike: Of the People of the Book are a portion that stand (For the right): They rehearse the Signs of Allah all night long, and they prostrate themselves in adoration.
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.
Not your desires, nor those of the People of the Book (can prevail): whoever works evil, will be requited accordingly. Nor will he find, besides Allah, any protector or helper.
And there is none of the People of the Book but must believe in him before his death; and on the Day of Judgment he will be a witness against them;-
Certain of the desert Arabs round about you are hypocrites, as well as (desert Arabs) among the Medina folk: they are obstinate in hypocrisy: thou knowest them not: We know them: twice shall We punish them: and in addition shall they be sent to a grievous penalty.
Nor did We send before thee (as messengers) any but men, whom we did inspire,- (men) living in human habitations. Do they not travel through the earth, and see what was the end of those before them? But the home of the hereafter is best, for those who do right. Will ye not then understand?
"Behold! thy sister goeth forth and saith, 'shall I show you one who will nurse and rear the (child)?' So We brought thee back to thy mother, that her eye might be cooled and she should not grieve. Then thou didst slay a man, but We saved thee from trouble, and We tried thee in various ways. Then didst thou tarry a number of years with the people of Midian. Then didst thou come hither as ordained, O Moses!
And we ordained that he refused suck at first, until (His sister came up and) said: "Shall I point out to you the people of a house that will nourish and bring him up for you and be sincerely attached to him?"...
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).
When Our Messengers came to Abraham with the good news, they said: "We are indeed going to destroy the people of this township: for truly they are (addicted to) crime."
"For we are going to bring down on the people of this township a Punishment from heaven, because they have been wickedly rebellious."
And those of the People of the Book who aided them - Allah did take them down from their strongholds and cast terror into their hearts. (So that) some ye slew, and some ye made prisoners.
Truly that is just and fitting,- the mutual recriminations of the People of the Fire!
It is He Who got out the Unbelievers among the People of the Book from their homes at the first gathering (of the forces). Little did ye think that they would get out: And they thought that their fortresses would defend them from Allah! But the (Wrath of) Allah came to them from quarters from which they little expected (it), and cast terror into their hearts, so that they destroyed their dwellings by their own hands and the hands of the Believers, take warning, then, O ye with eyes (to see)!
What Allah has bestowed on His Messenger (and taken away) from the people of the townships,- belongs to Allah,- to His Messenger and to kindred and orphans, the needy and the wayfarer; In order that it may not (merely) make a circuit between the wealthy among you. So take what the Messenger assigns to you, and deny yourselves that which he withholds from you. And fear Allah; for Allah is strict in Punishment.
Hast thou not observed the Hypocrites say to their misbelieving brethren among the People of the Book? - "If ye are expelled, we too will go out with you, and we will never hearken to any one in your affair; and if ye are attacked (in fight) we will help you". But Allah is witness that they are indeed liars.
Those who reject (Truth), among the People of the Book and among the Polytheists, were not going to depart (from their ways) until there should come to them Clear Evidence,-
Those who reject (Truth), among the People of the Book and among the Polytheists, will be in Hell-Fire, to dwell therein (for aye). They are the worst of creatures.
不信道者──信奉天经的和以物配主的──都不愿有任何福利从你们的主降於你们。真主把他的慈恩专赐给他所意欲的人,真主是有宏恩的。
信奉天经的人当中,有许多人惟愿使你们在继信道之後变成不信道者,这是因为他们在真理既明之後嫉视你们的缘故。但你们应当恕饶他们,原谅他们,直到真主发布命令。真主对於万事确是全能的。
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。
信奉天经的人中有一部分人说:“你们可以在早晨表示确信信士们所受的启示,而在晚夕表示不信,(你们这样做),他们或许叛教。
信奉天经的人中有这样的人:如果你托付他一千两黄金,他会交给还你;他们中也有这样的人:如果你托付他一枚金币,他也许不交还你,除非你一再追究它。这是因为他们说:“我们不为不识字的人而受处分。”他们明知故犯地假借真主的名义而造遥。
他们不是一律的。信奉天经的人中有一派正人,在夜间诵读真主的经典,且为真主而叩头。
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。
(他的应许), 不是借你们的妄想可以获得的,也不是借信奉天经者的妄想可以获得的。谁作恶,谁受恶报,除真主外,他不能为自己找到任何保护者,和任何援助者。
信奉天经的人,在他未死之前,没有一个信仰他的, 在复活日他要作证他们。
在你们四周的游牧的阿拉伯人中,有许多伪信者,在麦地那人中也有许多伪信者,他们长于伪装;你不认识他们;我却认识他们;我将两次惩罚他们,然后,他们将被送去受重大的刑罚。
在你之前,我只派遣了城市居民中的若干男子,我启示他们,难道他们没有在大地上旅行,因而观察前人的结局是怎样的吗?后世的住所,对于敬畏者是更好的。难道你们不理解吗?
当时,你的姐姐走去说:“我指示你们一个养育他的人,好吗?”我就把你送还你母亲,以便她愉快而不忧愁。你曾杀了一个人,而我拯救你脱离忧患,我曾以许多折磨考验你。你曾在麦德彦人之间逗留了许多年。穆萨啊!然后,你依前定而来到这里。
以前,我禁止他吃任何人的奶,他的姐姐就说:“我介绍你们一家人,替你们养育他,他们是忠于他,好吗?”
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。
当我的使者带着佳音来访易卜拉欣的时候,他们说:“我们必定毁灭这个城市的居民。这个城市的居民,确是不义的。”
我必使天灾从天空降于这个城市的居民,那是由于他们的放荡。
他曾使帮助他们的那些信奉天经者,从自己的堡垒上下来,并且把恐怖投在他们心里,你们杀戮一部分,俘虏一部分。
居火狱者的争论是必然的。
在初次放逐的时候,他曾将信奉《圣经》而不信《古兰经》的人从他们的家中驱逐出境。你们没有猜想到他们会退出去,他们猜想自己的堡垒能防御真主;但真主的刑罚,竟从他们料不到的地方降临他们。他将恐怖投在他们的心中,他们用自己的手和信士们的手拆毁自己的房屋。有眼光的人们啊!你们警惕吧!
城市的居民的逆产,凡真主收归使者的,都归真主、使者、至亲、孤儿、贫民和旅客,以免那些逆产,成为在你们中富豪之间周转的东西。凡使者给你们的,你们都应当接受;凡使者禁止你们的,你们都应当戒除。你们应当敬畏真主,真主确是刑罚严厉的。
难道你没有看见那些伪信者吗?他们对自己的朋友--信奉《圣经》而不信《古兰经》的人们说:“如果你们被放逐,我们必定与你们一同出境,我们永不服从任何人的命令而放弃你们;如果你们被攻击,我们必援助你们。”真主作证,他们确是说谎的。
信奉天经者和以物配主者,他们中不信道的人没有离开自己原有的信仰,直到明证来临他们。
信奉天经者和以物配主者,他们中不信道的人,必入火狱,而永居其中;这等人是最恶的人。
