To every people is a term appointed: when their term is reached, not an hour can they cause delay, nor (an hour) can they advance (it in anticipation).
To every people (was sent) a messenger: when their messenger comes (before them), the matter will be judged between them with justice, and they will not be wronged.

To every people did We appoint rites (of sacrifice), that they might celebrate the name of Allah over the sustenance He gave them from animals (fit for food). But your god is One God: submit then your wills to Him (in Islam): and give thou the good news to those who humble themselves,-
-个民族都有一个期限,当他们的限期到来的时候,他们不能耽延一刻;当其未来的时候,他们也不能提前一刻。
每个民族各有一个使者。当他们族中的使者来临的时候,他们要被秉公判决,不受冤枉。
不信道者说:“为什么没有一种迹象,从他的主降临他呢?”你只是一个警告者,每个民族都有一个引导者。
我为每个民族制定一种供献的仪式, 以便他们记念真主之名而屠宰他所赐他们的牲畜。你们的神明是独一的神明,故你们应当只归顺他。你应当以喜讯传示谦恭者。
