Behold! Allah took the covenant of the prophets, saying: "I give you a Book and Wisdom; then comes to you a messenger, confirming what is with you; do ye believe in him and render him help." Allah said: "Do ye agree, and take this my Covenant as binding on you?" They said: "We agree." He said: "Then bear witness, and I am with you among the witnesses."

And remember Allah took a covenant from the People of the Book, to make it known and clear to mankind, and not to hide it; but they threw it away behind their backs, and purchased with it some miserable gain! And vile was the bargain they made!

Allah did aforetime take a covenant from the Children of Israel, and we appointed twelve captains among them. And Allah said: "I am with you: if ye (but) establish regular prayers, practise regular charity, believe in my messengers, honour and assist them, and loan to Allah a beautiful loan, verily I will wipe out from you your evils, and admit you to gardens with rivers flowing beneath; but if any of you, after this, resisteth faith, he hath truly wandered from the path or rectitude."

Say: "Think ye, if Allah took away your hearing and your sight, and sealed up your hearts, who - a god other than Allah - could restore them to you?" See how We explain the signs by various (symbols); yet they turn aside.

When the anger of Moses was appeased, he took up the tablets: in the writing thereon was guidance and Mercy for such as fear their Lord.

When thy Lord drew forth from the Children of Adam - from their loins - their descendants, and made them testify concerning themselves, (saying): "Am I not your Lord (who cherishes and sustains you)?"- They said: "Yea! We do testify!" (This), lest ye should say on the Day of Judgment: "Of this we were never mindful":

Such is the chastisement of thy Lord when He chastises communities in the midst of their wrong: grievous, indeed, and severe is His chastisement.

Now when they saw no hope of his (yielding), they held a conference in private. The leader among them said: "Know ye not that your father did take an oath from you in Allah's name, and how, before this, ye did fail in your duty with Joseph? Therefore will I not leave this land until my father permits me, or Allah commands me; and He is the best to command.

What cause have ye why ye should not believe in Allah?- and the Messenger invites you to believe in your Lord, and has indeed taken your Covenant, if ye are men of Faith.

当时，真主与众先知缔约说：“我已赏赐你们经典和智慧，以后有一个使者来证实你们所有的经典，你们必须确信他，必须辅助他。”他说：“你们承认吗？你们愿意为此事而与我缔约吗?”他们说：“我们承认了。”他说：“那末，你们作证吧；我也和你们一同作证。

当时，真主与曾受天经的人缔约，说：“你们必为世人阐明天经，你们不可隐讳它。”但他们把它抛在背后，并以它换取些微的代价。他们所换取的真恶劣！

真主与以色列的后裔确已缔约，并从他们中派出十二个首领。真主说：“我确与你们同在。如果你们谨守拜功，完纳天课，确信我的众使者，并协助他们，并以善债借给真主，我必勾销你们的罪恶，我必让你们进入下临诸河的乐园。此后，谁不信道，谁已迷失了正路。”

你说：“你们告诉我吧，如果真主使你们失去听觉和视觉，而且封闭你们的心，那末，除真主外，还有哪个主宰能使你们复原呢？”你看我是怎样阐述一切迹象的，然而，他们置之不顾。

穆萨怒气平息后把法版拾了起来。对于敬畏者，法版里有引导和慈恩。

当时，你的主从阿丹的子孙的背脊中取出他们的后裔，并使他们招认。主说：“难道我不是你们的主吗？”他们说：“怎么不是呢？我们已作证了。”（我所以要使他们招认），是因为不愿你们在复活日说，”我们生前确实忽视了这件事。”

当你的主毁灭不义的市镇的时候，他的惩罚就是这样的。他的惩罚确是痛苦的，确是严厉的。

当他们对优素福绝望的时候，他们离席而密秘会议，他们的大哥说：“你们的父亲曾要求你们指真主发誓，难道你们不知道吗？从前，你们曾怠慢了优素福。我绝不离开这个地方，直到父亲允许我，或真主为我而判决，他是最公正的判决者。

你们怎么不信仰真主呢？使者号召你们去信仰你们的主，而你们的主，确已和你们缔约，如果你们要信道，就赶快信吧！
