O ye People of the Book! believe in what We have (now) revealed, confirming what was (already) with you, before We change the face and fame of some (of you) beyond all recognition, and turn them hindwards, or curse them as We cursed the Sabbath-breakers, for the decision of Allah Must be carried out.

Remember ye were on the hither side of the valley, and they on the farther side, and the caravan on lower ground than ye. Even if ye had made a mutual appointment to meet, ye would certainly have failed in the appointment: But (thus ye met), that Allah might accomplish a matter already enacted; that those who died might die after a clear Sign (had been given), and those who lived might live after a Clear Sign (had been given). And verily Allah is He Who heareth and knoweth (all things).

And remember when ye met, He showed them to you as few in your eyes, and He made you appear as contemptible in their eyes: that Allah might accomplish a matter already enacted. For to Allah do all questions go back (for decision).

When the first of the warnings came to pass, We sent against you Our servants given to terrible warfare: They entered the very inmost parts of your homes; and it was a warning (completely) fulfilled.

Behold! Thou didst say to one who had received the grace of Allah and thy favour: "Retain thou (in wedlock) thy wife, and fear Allah." But thou didst hide in thy heart that which Allah was about to make manifest: thou didst fear the people, but it is more fitting that thou shouldst fear Allah. Then when Zaid had dissolved (his marriage) with her, with the necessary (formality), We joined her in marriage to thee: in order that (in future) there may be no difficulty to the Believers in (the matter of) marriage with the wives of their adopted sons, when the latter have dissolved with the necessary (formality) (their marriage) with them. And Allah's command must be fulfilled.

Whereon the sky will be cleft asunder? His Promise needs must be accomplished.

曾受天经的人啊！我将使许多面目改变，而转向后方，或弃绝他们如弃绝犯安息日的人那样，在这件事实现之前，你们应当信我所降示的新经，这部新经能证实你们所有的古经。真主的判决是要被执行的。

当时，你们在山谷的近岸，敌军在远岸，而商队在你们的下面。假若你们约定相会，必定爽约，但（真主集合你们），以便他判决一件必行的事，以便灭亡者见明证而后灭亡，生存者见明证而后生存。真主确是全聪的，确是全知的。

当你们相遇的时候，他使你们眼见敌军是少数的，又使你们在他们的眼里变成少数的；以便真主判决一件必行的事。万事只归真主裁决。

当第一次作乱的约期来临的时候，我派遣我的许多强大的仆人去惩治你们，他们就搜索了住宅，那是要履行的诺言。

当时，你对那真主曾施以恩惠，你也曾施以恩惠的人说：“你应当挽留你的妻子，你应当敬畏真主。”你把真主所欲昭示的，隐藏在你的心中，真主是更应当为你所畏惧的，你却畏惧众人。当宰德离绝她的时候，我以她为你的妻子，以免信士们为他们的义子所离绝的妻子而感觉烦难。真主的命令，是必须奉行的。

天将为那日而破裂，真主的应许要实现的。
