O David! We did indeed make thee a vicegerent on earth: so judge thou between men in truth (and justice): Nor follow thou the lusts (of thy heart), for they will mislead thee from the Path of Allah: for those who wander astray from the Path of Allah, is a Penalty Grievous, for that they forget the Day of Account.

达五德啊！我确已任命你为大地的代治者，你当替人民秉公判决，不要顺从私欲，以免私欲使你叛离真主的大道；叛离真主的大道者，将因忘却清算之日而受严厉的刑罚。

然后，我使你遵循关于此事的常道。你应当遵守那常道，不要顺从无知者的私欲。
