and bringing glad tidings
Then will Allah say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! Recount My favour to thee and to thy mother. Behold! I strengthened thee with the holy spirit, so that thou didst speak to the people in childhood and in maturity. Behold! I taught thee the Book and Wisdom, the Law and the Gospel and behold! thou makest out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, by My leave, and thou breathest into it and it becometh a bird by My leave, and thou healest those born blind, and the lepers, by My leave. And behold! thou bringest forth the dead by My leave. And behold! I did restrain the Children of Israel from (violence to) thee when thou didst show them the clear Signs, and the unbelievers among them said: 'This is nothing but evident magic.'
If We had sent unto thee a written (message) on parchment, so that they could touch it with their hands, the Unbelievers would have been sure to say: "This is nothing but obvious magic!"
He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days - and His Throne was over the waters - that He might try you, which of you is best in conduct. But if thou wert to say to them, "Ye shall indeed be raised up after death", the Unbelievers would be sure to say, "This is nothing but obvious sorcery!"
But when Our Signs came to them, that should have opened their eyes, they said: "This is sorcery manifest!"
When Moses came to them with Our clear signs, they said: "This is nothing but sorcery faked up: never did we head the like among our fathers of old!"
When Our Clear Signs are rehearsed to them, they say, "This is only a man who wishes to hinder you from the (worship) which your fathers practised." And they say, "This is only a falsehood invented!" and the Unbelievers say of the Truth when it comes to them, "This is nothing but evident magic!"
And say, "This is nothing but evident sorcery!
But when the Truth came to them, they said: "This is sorcery, and we do reject it."
When Our Clear Signs are rehearsed to them, the Unbelievers say, of the Truth when it comes to them: "This is evident sorcery!"
But if they see a Sign, they turn away, and say, "This is (but) transient magic."
And remember, Jesus, the son of Mary, said: "O Children of Israel! I am the messenger of Allah (sent) to you, confirming the Law (which came) before me, and giving Glad Tidings of a Messenger to come after me, whose name shall be Ahmad." But when he came to them with Clear Signs, they said, "this is evident sorcery!"
Then said he: "This is nothing but magic, derived from of old;
那时,真主将说麦尔彦之子尔撒啊!你当记忆我所赐你和你母亲的恩典。当时,我曾以玄灵扶助你,你在摇篮里,在壮年时,对人说话。当时,我曾教你书法、智慧、《讨拉特》和《引支勒》。当时,你奉我的命令,用泥捏一只像鸟样的东西,你吹气在里面,它就奉我的命令而飞动。你曾奉我的命令而治疗天然盲和大麻疯。你又奉我的命令而使死人复活。当时,我曾阻止以色列的后裔伤害你。当时,你曾昭示他们许多迹象,他们中不信道的人说:“这只是明显的魔术。”
假若我把一部写在纸上的经典降示你,而他们用手抚摩它,那末,不信道的人必定说:“这只是明显的魔术。”
他在六日之中创造了天地万物--他的宝座原是在水上的--以便他考验你们,看你们中谁的工作是最优的。如果你说:“你们死后,是要复活的。”不信道的人们必定说:“这个只是明显的魔术。”
我的许多明显迹象降临他们的时候,他们说:“这是明显的魔术。”
当穆萨已带着我的许多明显的迹象来到他们面前的时候,他们说:“这个只是捏造的魔术,我们没有听见在我们的祖先(的时代)有这件东西。”
有人对他们宣读我的明白的迹象时,他们说:“这个人只想妨碍你们崇拜你们的祖先所崇拜的偶像。”他们又说:“这只是捏造的谎言。”当真理来临的时候,不信道的人们说:“这只是一种明显的魔术。”
他们说:“这个只是明显的魔术。
真理降临他们的时候,他们说:“这是魔术,我们必定不信它。”
有人对他们诵读我的明显的迹象的时候,不信道的人们评论刚降临他们的真理说:“这是明显的魔术。”
如果他们看见一种迹象,他们就退避,而且说:“这是一种有力的魔术。”
当时,麦尔彦之子尔撒曾说:“以色列的後裔啊!我确是真主派来教化你们的使者,他派我来证实在我之前的《讨拉特》,并且以在我之後诞生的使者,名叫艾哈默德的,向你们报喜。”当他已昭示他们许多明证的时候,他们说:“这是明显的魔术。”
而且说:“这只是传习的魔术,
