And remember ye said: "O Moses! we cannot endure one kind of food (always); so beseech thy Lord for us to produce for us of what the earth groweth, -its pot-herbs, and cucumbers, Its garlic, lentils, and onions." He said: "Will ye exchange the better for the worse? Go ye down to any town, and ye shall find what ye want!" They were covered with humiliation and misery; they drew on themselves the wrath of Allah. This because they went on rejecting the Signs of Allah and slaying His Messengers without just cause. This because they rebelled and went on transgressing.

Mankind was one single nation, and Allah sent Messengers with glad tidings and warnings; and with them He sent the Book in truth, to judge between people in matters wherein they differed; but the People of the Book, after the clear Signs came to them, did not differ among themselves, except through selfish contumacy. Allah by His Grace Guided the believers to the Truth, concerning that wherein they differed. For Allah guided whom He will to a path that is straight.

After (the excitement) of the distress, He sent down calm on a band of you overcome with slumber, while another band was stirred to anxiety by their own feelings, Moved by wrong suspicions of Allah-suspicions due to ignorance. They said: "What affair is this of ours?" Say thou: "Indeed, this affair is wholly Allah's." They hide in their minds what they dare not reveal to thee. They say (to themselves): "If we had had anything to do with this affair, We should not have been in the slaughter here." Say: "Even if you had remained in your homes, those for whom death was decreed would certainly have gone forth to the place of their death"; but (all this was) that Allah might test what is in your breasts and purge what is in your hearts. For Allah knoweth well the secrets of your hearts.

To thee We sent the Scripture in truth, confirming the scripture that came before it, and guarding it in safety: so judge between them by what Allah hath revealed, and follow not their vain desires, diverging from the Truth that hath come to thee. To each among you have we prescribed a law and an open way. If Allah had so willed, He would have made you a single people, but (His plan is) to test you in what He hath given you: so strive as in a race in all virtues. The goal of you all is to Allah; it is He that will show you the truth of the matters in which ye dispute;

Say: "O people of the Book! exceed not in your religion the bounds (of what is proper), trespassing beyond the truth, nor follow the vain desires of people who went wrong in times gone by,- who misled many, and strayed (themselves) from the even way.

And when they listen to the revelation received by the Messenger, thou wilt see their eyes overflowing with tears, for they recognise the truth: they pray: "Our Lord! we believe; write us down among the witnesses.

"What cause can we have not to believe in Allah and the truth which has come to us, seeing that we long for our Lord to admit us to the company of the righteous?"

Then are men returned unto Allah, their protector, the (only) reality: Is not His the command? and He is the swiftest in taking account.

Who can be more wicked than one who inventeth a lie against Allah, or saith, "I have received inspiration," when he hath received none, or (again) who saith, "I can reveal the like of what Allah hath revealed"? If thou couldst but see how the wicked (do fare) in the flood of confusion at death! - the angels stretch forth their hands, (saying),"Yield up your souls: this day shall ye receive your reward,- a penalty of shame, for that ye used to tell lies against Allah, and scornfully to reject of His signs!"

Say: the things that my Lord hath indeed forbidden are: shameful deeds, whether open or secret; sins and trespasses against truth or reason; assigning of partners to Allah, for which He hath given no authority; and saying things about Allah of which ye have no knowledge.

Those who behave arrogantly on the earth in defiance of right - them will I turn away from My signs: Even if they see all the signs, they will not believe in them; and if they see the way of right conduct, they will not adopt it as the way; but if they see the way of error, that is the way they will adopt. For they have rejected our signs, and failed to take warning from them.

Disputing with thee concerning the truth after it was made manifest, as if they were being driven to death and they (actually) saw it.

Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.

It is He Who hath sent His Messenger with guidance and the Religion of Truth, to proclaim it over all religion, even though the Pagans may detest (it).

But when he delivereth them, behold! they transgress insolently through the earth in defiance of right! O mankind! your insolence is against your own souls,- an enjoyment of the life of the present: in the end, to Us is your return, and We shall show you the truth of all that ye did.

There will every soul prove (the fruits of) the deeds it sent before: they will be brought back to Allah their rightful Lord, and their invented falsehoods will leave them in the lurch.

Such is Allah, your real Cherisher and Sustainer: apart from truth, what (remains) but error? How then are ye turned away?

Say: "Of your 'partners' is there any that can give any guidance towards truth?" Say: "It is Allah Who gives guidance towards truth, is then He Who gives guidance to truth more worthy to be followed, or he who finds not guidance (himself) unless he is guided? what then is the matter with you? How judge ye?"

Say: "Of your 'partners' is there any that can give any guidance towards truth?" Say: "It is Allah Who gives guidance towards truth, is then He Who gives guidance to truth more worthy to be followed, or he who finds not guidance (himself) unless he is guided? what then is the matter with you? How judge ye?"

But most of them follow nothing but fancy: truly fancy can be of no avail against truth. Verily Allah is well aware of all that they do.

For Him (alone) is prayer in Truth: any others that they call upon besides Him hear them no more than if they were to stretch forth their hands for water to reach their mouths but it reaches them not: for the prayer of those without Faith is nothing but (futile) wandering (in the mind).

And Satan will say when the matter is decided: "It was Allah Who gave you a promise of Truth: I too promised, but I failed in my promise to you. I had no authority over you except to call you but ye listened to me: then reproach not me, but reproach your own souls. I cannot listen to your cries, nor can ye listen to mine. I reject your former act in associating me with Allah. For wrong-doers there must be a grievous penalty."

There, the (only) protection comes from Allah, the True One. He is the Best to reward, and the Best to give success.

Such (was) Jesus the son of Mary: (it is) a statement of truth, about which they (vainly) dispute.

So put thy trust in Allah: for thou art on (the path of) manifest Truth.

And he was arrogant and insolent in the land, beyond reason,- He and his hosts: they thought that they would not have to return to Us!

O ye who believe! Enter not the Prophet's houses,- until leave is given you,- for a meal, (and then) not (so early as) to wait for its preparation: but when ye are invited, enter; and when ye have taken your meal, disperse, without seeking familiar talk. Such (behaviour) annoys the Prophet: he is ashamed to dismiss you, but Allah is not ashamed (to tell you) the truth. And when ye ask (his ladies) for anything ye want, ask them from before a screen: that makes for greater purity for your hearts and for theirs. Nor is it right for you that ye should annoy Allah's Messenger, or that ye should marry his widows after him at any time. Truly such a thing is in Allah's sight an enormity.

"That was because ye were wont to rejoice on the earth in things other than the Truth, and that ye were wont to be insolent.

Now the 'Ad behaved arrogantly through the land, against (all) truth and reason, and said: "Who is superior to us in strength?" What! did they not see that Allah, Who created them, was superior to them in strength? But they continued to reject Our Signs!

The blame is only against those who oppress men and wrong-doing and insolently transgress beyond bounds through the land, defying right and justice: for such there will be a penalty grievous.

当时，你们说：“穆萨啊！专吃一样食物，我们绝不能忍受，所以请你替我们请求你的主，为我们生出大地所产的蔬菜──黄瓜、大蒜、扁豆和玉葱。”他说：“难道你们要以较贵的换取较贱的吗？你们到一座城里去吧！你们必得自己所请求的食物。”他们陷於卑贱和穷困中，他们应受真主的谴怒。这是因为他们不信真主的迹象，而且枉杀众先知；这又是因为他们违抗主命，超越法度。

世人原是一个民族，嗣後，他们信仰分歧，故真主派众先知作报喜者和警告者，且降示他们包含真理的经典，以便他为世人判决他们所争论的是非。惟曾受天经的人，在明证降临之後，为互相嫉妒，而对天经意见分歧，故真主依自己的意旨而引导信道的人，俾得明了他们所争论的真理。真主引导他所意欲的人走上正路。

在忧患之后，他又降安宁给你们，使你们中一部分人瞌睡；另一部分人则为自身而焦虑，他们象蒙昧时代的人一样，对真主妄加猜测，他们说：“我们有一点胜利的希望吗?”你说：“一切事情，的确都是真主所主持的。”他们的心里怀着不敢对你表示的恶意；他们说：“假若我们有一点胜利的希望，我们的同胞不致阵亡在这里。”你说：“假若你们坐在家里，那么命中注定要阵亡的人，必定外出，走到他们阵亡的地方；（真主这样做），以便他试验你们的心事，锻炼你们心中的信仰。真主是全知心事的。”

我降示你这部包含真理的经典，以证实以前的一切天经，而监护之。故你当依真主所降示的经典而为他们判决，你不要舍弃降临你的真理而顺从他们的私欲。我已为你们中每一个民族制定一种教律和法程。如果真主意欲，他必使你们变成一个民族。但他把你们分成许多民族，以便他考验你们能不能遵守他所赐予你们的教律和法程。故你们当争先为善。你们全体都要归于真主，他要把你们所争论的是非告诉你们。

你说：“信奉天经的人呀!你们对于自己的宗教，不要无理的过分。有一伙人，以前曾自己迷误，并使许多人迷误，而且背离正道，你们不要顺从他们的私欲。”

当他们听见诵读降示使者的经典的时候，你看他们为自己所认识的真理而眼泪汪汪，他们说：“我们的主啊!我们已信道了，求你把我们同作证真理的人记录在一处。

我们是切望我们的主使我们与善良的民众同进乐园的，我们怎能不信真主和降临我们的真理呢!”

然后，世人要被送归真主--他们的主。真的，判决只归他，他是清算最神速的。

假借真主的名义而造谣的，自称奉到启示，其实，没有奉到任何启示的人，或妄言要像真主那样降示天经的人，这等人谁比他们还不义呢？不义的人正在临死的苦痛中，众天神伸著手说：“你们拿出你们的灵魂吧！今天你们要受辱刑的报酬，因为你们假借真主的名义而造谣，并藐视他的迹象。”那时，假若你看见他们的情状，……。

你说：“我的主只禁止一切明显的和隐微的丑事，和罪恶，和无理的侵害，以及用真主所未证实的事物配真主，假借真主的名义而妄言自己所不知道的事情。”

我将使那些在地方上妄自尊大的人离弃我的迹象，即使他们看见一切迹象，他们也不信它；如果他们看见正道，他们不把它当作道路；如果他们看见邪道，他们把它当作道路。这是因为他们不信我的迹象，而且忽视它。

真理昭著之后，他们为真理与你争论，好像他们是被押去受死刑，而他们亲眼看见（刑具）似的。

当抵抗不信真主和末日，不遵真主及其使者的戒律，不奉真教的人，即曾受天经的人，你们要与他们战斗，直到他们依照自己的能力，规规矩矩地交纳丁税。

他曾以正道和真教的使命委托他的使者，以便他使真教胜过一切宗教，即使以物配主者不愿意。

当他拯救了他们的时候，他们忽然在地方上无理地侵害（他人）。人们啊！你们的侵害只有害于自身，那是今世生活的享受，然后，你们只归于我，我要把你们的行为告诉你们。

在那时，各人将考验自己在生前的行为，他们将被送到真主--他们真实的保护者那里去，而他们所捏造的已回避他们了。

那是真主，你们的真实的主宰。在真理之外，除了迷误还有什么呢？你们怎么颠倒是非呢？”

你说：“你们的配主有能导人于真理的吗？”你说：“真主能导人于真理。是能导人于真理的更宜于受人顺从呢？还是须受引导才能遵循正道的，更宜于受人顺从呢？你们怎么啦？你们怎么这样判断呢？”

你说：“你们的配主有能导人于真理的吗？”你说：“真主能导人于真理。是能导人于真理的更宜于受人顺从呢？还是须受引导才能遵循正道的，更宜于受人顺从呢？你们怎么啦？你们怎么这样判断呢？”

他们大半是只凭猜想，猜想对于真理是毫无裨益的。真主确是全知他们的行为的。

真实的祈祷只归于他，他们舍他而祈祷的（偶像），一点也不能答应他们的祈求。但他们好像一个人，把两只手掌伸向水中，以便水达到他的口，其实，水绝不会达到他的口的。不信道者的祈祷，只在迷误中。

当事情已被判决的时候，恶魔说：“真主确已真实地应许你们，我也曾应许你们，但我对你们爽约了。我对你们本来没有什么权力，不过是我召唤你们，而你们响应我的号召。所以你们不要责备我，应当责备自己，我不能援救你们，你们也不能援救我。我不承认以前你们曾把我配主，不义者必受痛苦的刑罚。”

在这里，援助全归真实的真主，他是赏罚严明的。

这是麦尔彦的儿子尔萨，这是你们所争论的真理之言。

你应当信赖真主，你确是据有明白的真理的。

他和他的军队，在国中妄自尊大，他们猜想自己不被召归于我。

信士们啊！你们不要进先知的家，除非邀请你们去吃饭的时候；你们不要进去等饭熟，当请你去的时候才进去；既吃之后就当告退，不要留恋闲话，因为那会使先知感到为难，他不好意思辞退你们。真主是不耻于揭示真理的。你们向先知的妻子们索取任何物品的时候，应当在帷幕外索取，那对于你们的心和她们的心是更清白的。你们不宜使使者为难，在他之后，永不宜娶他的妻子，因为在真主看来，那是一件大罪。

那是因为你们在地方上不该欢喜而欢喜，也是因为你们太得意了。

至于阿德人，他们不该在地方上妄自尊大，他们说：“谁比我们能力更强大呢？”难道他们不知道创造他们的真主比他们更强大吗？他们否认了我的许多迹象，

应受责备的，是欺侮他人，并且在地方上蛮横无理者；这些人将受痛苦的刑罚。
