and they drew on themselves wrath
And remember ye said: "O Moses! We shall never believe in thee until we see Allah manifestly," but ye were dazed with thunder and lighting even as ye looked on.
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.
What! When a single disaster smites you, although ye smote (your enemies) with one twice as great, do ye say?- "Whence is this?" Say (to them): "It is from yourselves: For Allah hath power over all things."
They (also) said: "Allah took our promise not to believe in an messenger unless He showed us a sacrifice consumed by Fire (From heaven)." Say: "There came to you messengers before me, with clear Signs and even with what ye ask for: why then did ye slay them, if ye speak the truth?"
And call in remembrance the favour of Allah unto you, and His covenant, which He ratified with you, when ye said: "We hear and we obey": And fear Allah, for Allah knoweth well the secrets of your hearts.
And come not nigh to the orphan's property, except to improve it, until he attain the age of full strength; give measure and weight with (full) justice;- no burden do We place on any soul, but that which it can bear;- whenever ye speak, speak justly, even if a near relative is concerned; and fulfil the covenant of Allah: thus doth He command you, that ye may remember.
And why did ye not, when ye heard it, say? - "It is not right of us to speak of this: Glory to Allah! this is a most serious slander!"
"And to you there came Joseph in times gone by, with Clear Signs, but ye ceased not to doubt of the (Mission) for which he had come: At length, when he died, ye said: 'No messenger will Allah send after him.' thus doth Allah leave to stray such as transgress and live in doubt,-
"And when it was said that the promise of Allah was true, and that the Hour- there was no doubt about its (coming), ye used to say, 'We know not what is the hour: we only think it is an idea, and we have no firm assurance.'"
当时,你们说:“穆萨啊!我们绝不信你,直到我们亲眼看见真主。”故疾雷袭击了你们,这是你们看著的。
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。
你们所遭受的损失,只有你们所加给敌人的损失的一半,你们怎么还说:“这是从哪里来的呢?”你说:“这是你们自作自受的。”真主对于万事确是全能的。
他们曾说:“真主确已命令我们不可确信任何使者,直到他昭示火所焚化的供物。”你说:“在我之前,有许多使者已昭示你们许多明证,并昭示你们所请求的;如果你们是诚实的,你们为什么要杀害他们呢?”
你们当铭记真主所赐你们的恩典,和他与你们所缔的盟约;当时,你们曾说:”我们听从了。”你们当敬畏真主。真主确是全知心事的。
你们不要临近孤儿的财产,除非依照最优良的方式,直到他成年;你们当用充足的斗和公平的秤,我只依各人的能力而加以责成。当你们说话的时候,你们应当公平,即使你们所代证的是你们的亲戚;你们当履行真主的盟约。他将这些事嘱咐你们,以便你们觉悟。”
当你们听见谎言的时候,你们为何不说:我们不该说这种话,赞颂真主, 超绝万物!这是重大的诬蔑。
以前,优素福确已将许多明证昭示你们,但你们对他所昭示你们的明证,依然在疑惑中,直到他死去的时候,你们还说:‘在他之后,真主绝不会再派遣任何使者了。'真主这样使过分的怀疑者迷误。”
有人说:“真主的应许,确是真实的;复活时是毫无疑义的。”你们就说:“我们不知道复活时是什么,我们只猜想那或许是要发生的,但我们并不确信。”
