And (make him) a Messenger
and I will surely admit you
(for) spreading corruption
(are) surely those who commit excesses.
and the western (parts) of it,
`Surely you will cause corruption
and surely you will reach,
and We have provided them
(the) Children of Israel,
and We made a covenant with you
having no physical desire
having no physical desire
O Children of Israel! call to mind the (special) favour which I bestowed upon you, and fulfil your covenant with Me as I fulfil My Covenant with you, and fear none but Me.
Children of Israel! call to mind the (special) favour which I bestowed upon you, and that I preferred you to all other (for My Message).
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).
O Children of Israel! call to mind the special favour which I bestowed upon you, and that I preferred you to all others (for My Message).
Ask the Children of Israel how many clear (Signs) We have sent them. But if any one, after Allah's favour has come to him, substitutes (something else), Allah is strict in punishment.
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.
"And (appoint him) a messenger to the Children of Israel, (with this message): "'I have come to you, with a Sign from your Lord, in that I make for you out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by Allah's leave: And I heal those born blind, and the lepers, and I quicken the dead, by Allah's leave; and I declare to you what ye eat, and what ye store in your houses. Surely therein is a Sign for you if ye did believe;
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."
On that account: We ordained for the Children of Israel that if any one slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people. Then although there came to them Our messengers with clear signs, yet, even after that, many of them continued to commit excesses in the land.
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.
They do blaspheme who say: "Allah is Christ the son of Mary." But said Christ: "O Children of Israel! worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord." Whoever joins other gods with Allah,- Allah will forbid him the garden, and the Fire will be his abode. There will for the wrong-doers be no one to help.
Curses were pronounced on those among the Children of Israel who rejected Faith, by the tongue of David and of Jesus the son of Mary: because they disobeyed and persisted in excesses.
Then will Allah say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! Recount My favour to thee and to thy mother. Behold! I strengthened thee with the holy spirit, so that thou didst speak to the people in childhood and in maturity. Behold! I taught thee the Book and Wisdom, the Law and the Gospel and behold! thou makest out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, by My leave, and thou breathest into it and it becometh a bird by My leave, and thou healest those born blind, and the lepers, by My leave. And behold! thou bringest forth the dead by My leave. And behold! I did restrain the Children of Israel from (violence to) thee when thou didst show them the clear Signs, and the unbelievers among them said: 'This is nothing but evident magic.'
O ye Children of Adam! We have bestowed raiment upon you to cover your shame, as well as to be an adornment to you. But the raiment of righteousness,- that is the best. Such are among the Signs of Allah, that they may receive admonition!
O ye Children of Adam! Let not Satan seduce you, in the same manner as He got your parents out of the Garden, stripping them of their raiment, to expose their shame: for he and his tribe watch you from a position where ye cannot see them: We made the evil ones friends (only) to those without faith.
O Children of Adam! wear your beautiful apparel at every time and place of prayer: eat and drink: But waste not by excess, for Allah loveth not the wasters.
O ye Children of Adam! whenever there come to you messengers from amongst you, rehearsing My signs unto you,- those who are righteous and mend (their lives),- on them shall be no fear nor shall they grieve.
One for whom it is right to say nothing but truth about Allah. Now have I come unto you (people), from your Lord, with a clear (Sign): So let the Children of Israel depart along with me."
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."
And We made a people, considered weak (and of no account), inheritors of lands in both east and west, - lands whereon We sent down Our blessings. The fair promise of thy Lord was fulfilled for the Children of Israel, because they had patience and constancy, and We levelled to the ground the great works and fine buildings which Pharaoh and his people erected (with such pride).
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":
We settled the Children of Israel in a beautiful dwelling-place, and provided for them sustenance of the best: it was after knowledge had been granted to them, that they fell into schisms. Verily Allah will judge between them as to the schisms amongst them, on the Day of Judgment.
And We gave (Clear) Warning to the Children of Israel in the Book, that twice would they do mischief on the earth and be elated with mighty arrogance (and twice would they be punished)!
We have honoured the sons of Adam; provided them with transport on land and sea; given them for sustenance things good and pure; and conferred on them special favours, above a great part of our creation.
To Moses We did give Nine Clear Signs: As the Children of Israel: when he came to them, Pharaoh said to him: "O Moses! I consider thee, indeed, to have been worked upon by sorcery!
"So go ye both to him, and say, 'Verily we are messengers sent by thy Lord: Send forth, therefore, the Children of Israel with us, and afflict them not: with a Sign, indeed, have we come from thy Lord! and peace to all who follow guidance!
O ye Children of Israel! We delivered you from your enemy, and We made a Covenant with you on the right side of Mount (Sinai), and We sent down to you Manna and quails:
(Aaron) replied: "O son of my mother! Seize (me) not by my beard nor by (the hair of) my head! Truly I feared lest thou shouldst say, 'Thou has caused a division among the children of Israel, and thou didst not respect my word!'"
And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husband's fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers or their brothers' sons, or their sisters' sons, or their women, or the slaves whom their right hands possess, or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex; and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. And O ye Believers! turn ye all together towards Allah, that ye may attain Bliss.

以色列的後裔啊!你们当铭记我所赐你们的恩惠,你们当履行对我的约言,我就履行对你们的约言;你们应当只畏惧我。
以色列的後裔啊!你们当铭记我所赐你们的恩典,并铭记我曾使你们超越世人。
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。
以色列的後裔啊!你们应当铭记我所施於你们的恩典,并铭记我曾使你们超越世人。
你问以色列的後裔,我赏赐过他们若干明显的迹象。真主的恩典降临之後,凡加以变更的人,(真主必定惩罚他),因为真主的刑罚确是严厉的。
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。
他要使他去教化以色列的后裔。(尔撒说):我确已把你们的主所降示一种迹象,带来给你们了。我必定为你们用泥做一个象鸟样的东西,我吹口气在里面,它就奉真主的命令而飞动。我奉真主的命令,能医治天然盲、大麻疯,又能使死者复活,又能把你们所吃的和你们储藏在家里的食物告诉你们。对于你们,此中确有一种迹象,如果你们是信道的人。
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。”
因此,我对以色列的后裔以此为定制:除因复仇或平乱外,凡枉杀一人的,如杀众人;凡救活一人的,如救活众人。我的众使者。确已昭示他们许多迹象。此后,他们中许多人,在地方上确是过分的。
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。
妄言真主就是麦尔彦之子麦西哈的人,确已不信道了。麦西哈曾说:“以色列的后裔啊!你们当崇拜真主--我的主,和你们的主。谁以物配主,真主必禁止谁入乐园,他的归宿是火狱。不义的人,绝没有任何援助者。”
以色列的后裔中不信道的人,曾被达五德和麦尔彦之子尔撤的舌所诅咒,这是由于他们的违抗和过分。
那时,真主将说麦尔彦之子尔撒啊!你当记忆我所赐你和你母亲的恩典。当时,我曾以玄灵扶助你,你在摇篮里,在壮年时,对人说话。当时,我曾教你书法、智慧、《讨拉特》和《引支勒》。当时,你奉我的命令,用泥捏一只像鸟样的东西,你吹气在里面,它就奉我的命令而飞动。你曾奉我的命令而治疗天然盲和大麻疯。你又奉我的命令而使死人复活。当时,我曾阻止以色列的后裔伤害你。当时,你曾昭示他们许多迹象,他们中不信道的人说:“这只是明显的魔术。”
阿丹的子孙啊!我确已为你们而创造遮盖阴部的衣服和修饰的衣服,敬畏的衣服尤为优美。这是属于真主的迹象,以便他们觉悟。
阿丹的子孙啊!绝不要让恶魔考验你们。犹如他把你们的始祖父母的衣服脱下,而揭示他俩自己的阴部,然后把他俩诱出乐园。他和他的部下,的确能看见你们;而你们却不能看见他们。我确已使恶魔成为不信道者的盟友。
阿丹的子孙啊!-逢礼拜,你们必须穿著服饰。你们应当吃,应当喝,但不要过分,真主确是不喜欢过分者的。
阿丹的子孙啊!如果你们同族中的使者来对你们讲述我的迹象,那末,凡敬畏而且修身者,将来都没有恐惧,也不忧愁。
我只应该借真主的名义而宣言真理。我确已从你们的主那里给你们带来了一个明证,所以,你应该释放以色列的后裔,让他们同我一起离去。”
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。”
我使被欺负的民众,继承了我曾降福其中的土地的四境。以色列的后裔,能忍受虐待,故你的主对他们的最佳诺言已完全实现了;我毁灭了法老和他的百姓所构造的,和他们所建筑的。
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。”
我确已使以色列人居住在一个安定的地方,并以佳美的食物供给他们。他们的意见没有分歧,直到那种知识降临他们。复活日,你的主必将判决他们所争论的是非。
我曾在经典里启示对以色列的后裔判决说:“你们必定要在大地上两次作乱,你们必定很傲慢。”
我确已优待阿丹的后裔,而使他们在陆上或海上都有所骑乘,我以佳美的食物供给他们,我使他们大大地超过我所创造的许多人。
当穆萨来临以色列人的时候,我确已赏赐穆萨九种明显的迹象。你问一问以色列人吧,法老对他说:“穆萨啊!我的确猜想你是中了魔术的人。”
你俩去他那里就说:'我俩确是你的主的使者, 所以请你让以色列的后裔同我俩一道去,请你不要虐待他们。我们已经把你的主的一种迹象带来给你了;遵守正道者,得享和平。
以色列的后裔啊!我曾拯救你们脱离你们的敌人, 我曾在那山的右边与你们订约,我曾降甘露和鹌鹑给你们。
他说:“我的胞弟啊!你不要揪住我的头发和胡子, 我的确怕你说:'你使以色列分裂,而不注意我的话。'”
