And remember We took your covenant and We raised above you (The towering height) of Mount (Sinai) : (Saying): "Hold firmly to what We have given you and bring (ever) to remembrance what is therein: Perchance ye may fear Allah."

And remember We took a covenant from the Children of Israel (to this effect): Worship none but Allah; treat with kindness your parents and kindred, and orphans and those in need; speak fair to the people; be steadfast in prayer; and practise regular charity. Then did ye turn back, except a few among you, and ye backslide (even now).

And remember We took your covenant (to this effect): Shed no blood amongst you, nor turn out your own people from your homes: and this ye solemnly ratified, and to this ye can bear witness.

And remember We took your covenant and We raised above you (the towering height) of Mount (Sinai): (Saying): "Hold firmly to what We have given you, and hearken (to the Law)": They said:" We hear, and we disobey:" And they had to drink into their hearts (of the taint) of the calf because of their Faithlessness. Say: "Vile indeed are the behests of your Faith if ye have any faith!"

From those, too, who call themselves Christians, We did take a covenant, but they forgot a good part of the message that was sent them: so we estranged them, with enmity and hatred between the one and the other, to the day of judgment. And soon will Allah show them what it is they have done.

We took the covenant of the Children of Israel and sent them messengers, every time, there came to them a messenger with what they themselves desired not - some (of these) they called impostors, and some they (go so far as to) slay.

Whenever We sent a prophet to a town, We took up its people in suffering and adversity, in order that they might learn humility.

We punished the people of Pharaoh with years (of droughts) and shortness of crops; that they might receive admonition.

If good befalls thee, it grieves them; but if a misfortune befalls thee, they say, "We took indeed our precautions beforehand," and they turn away rejoicing.

Until, when We seize in Punishment those of them who received the good things of this world, behold, they will groan in supplication!

Each one of them We seized for his crime: of them, against some We sent a violent tornado (with showers of stones); some were caught by a (mighty) Blast; some We caused the earth to swallow up; and some We drowned (in the waters): It was not Allah Who injured (or oppressed) them:" They injured (and oppressed) their own souls.

And remember We took from the prophets their covenant: As (We did) from thee: from Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus the son of Mary: We took from them a solemn covenant:

当时，我与你们缔约，并将山树立在你们的上面，我说：“你们当坚守我所赐你们的经典，并且当牢记其中的律例，以便你们敬畏。”

当时，我与以色列的後裔缔约，说：“你们应当只崇拜真主，并当孝敬父母，和睦亲戚，怜恤孤儿，赈济贫民，对人说善言，谨守拜功，完纳天课。”然後，你们除少数人外，都违背约言，你们是常常爽约的。

当时，我与你们缔约，说：“你们不要自相残杀，不要把同族的人逐出境外。”你们已经承诺，而且证实了。

当时，我与你们缔约，并将山岳树立在你们的上面，我说：“你们当坚守我所赐你们的经典，并当听从。”他们说：“我们听而不从。”他们不信道，故对犊之爱，已浸润了他们的心灵。你说：“如果你们是信士，那末，你们的信仰所命你们的真恶劣！”

自称基督教徒的人，我曾与他们缔约，但他们抛弃自己所受的一部分劝戒，故我使他们互相仇恨，至于复活日。那时，真主要把他们的行为告诉他们。

我与以色列的后裔确已订约，并派遣许多使者去教化他们，每逢使者带来他们不喜爱的东西的时候，他们就否认一部分，杀害一部分。

我-派遣一个先知到一个城市去，（而他被人否认），我总要以穷困和患难惩治其居民，以便他们谦逊。

我确已用荒年和歉收去惩治法老的臣民，以便他们觉悟。

如果你获得胜利，他们就觉得难过；如果你遭到失败，他们就说：“我们事先早已提防了。”他们洋洋得意地转回去。

直到我以刑罚惩治他们中过豪华生活者的时候，他们忽然大呼求救。

每一个人，我都因他的罪过而加以惩罚，他们中有我曾使飞沙走石的暴风去伤害的，有为恐怖所袭击的，有我使他沦陷在地面下的，有被我溺杀的，真主不致亏枉他们，但他们亏枉了自己。

当日，我与众先知订约，与你和努哈、易卜拉欣、穆萨、麦尔彦之子尔撒订约，我与他们订庄严的盟约，
