Be sure we shall test you with something of fear and hunger, some loss in goods or lives or the fruits (of your toil), but give glad tidings to those who patiently persevere,

When there comes to them some matter touching (Public) safety or fear, they divulge it. If they had only referred it to the Messenger, or to those charged with authority among them, the proper investigators would have Tested it from them (direct). Were it not for the Grace and Mercy of Allah unto you, all but a few of you would have fallen into the clutches of Satan.

我必以些微的恐怖和饥馑，以及资产、生命、收获等的损失，试验你们，你当向坚忍的人报喜。

当安全或恐怖的消息到达他们的时候，他们就加以传播，假若他们把消息报告使者和他们中主事的人，那末，他们中能推理的人，必定知道当如何应付。假若没有真主所赐你们的恩惠和慈恩，那末，你们除少数人外，必已顺从恶魔了。
