Walaqad atayna moosa alkitaba waqaffayna min baAAdihi bialrrusuli waatayna AAeesa ibna maryama albayyinati waayyadnahu biroohi alqudusi afakullama jaakum rasoolun bima la tahwa anfusukumu istakbartum fafareeqan kaththabtum wafareeqan taqtuloona\n87. We gave Moses the Book\n And followed him up\n With a succession of Apostles;\n We gave Jesus the son of Mary\n Clear (Signs) and strengthened him\n With the holy spirit. Is it\n That whenever there comes to you\n An Apostle with what ye\n Yourselves desire not, ye are\n Puffed up with pride?\u2014\n Some ye called impostors,\n And others ye slay!\n88. Waqaloo quloobuna ghulfun bal laAAanahumu Allahu bikufrihim faqaleelan ma yu/minoona\n88. They say, \"Our hearts\n Are the wrappings (which preserve\n God's Word: we need no more).\"\n Nay, God's curse is on them\n For their blasphemy:\n Little is it they believe.\n89. Walamma jaahum kitabun min AAindi Allahi musaddiqun lima maAAahum wakanoo min qablu yastaftihoona AAala allatheena kafaroo falamma jaahum ma AAarafoo kafaroo bihi falaAAnatu Allahi AAala alkafireena\n89. And when there comes to them\n A Book from God, confirming\n What is with them,\u2014although\n From of old they had prayed\n For victory against those\n Without Faith,\u2014when there comes.\n To them that which they\n (Should) have recognized,\n They refuse to believe in it\n But the curse of God\n Is on those without Faith.\n90. Bi/sama ishtaraw bihi anfusahum an yakfuroo bima anzala Allahu baghyan an yunazzila Allahu min fadlihi AAala man yashao min AAibadihi fabaoo bighadabin AAala ghadabin walilkafireena AAathabun muheenun\n90. Miserable is the price\n For which they have sold\n Their souls, in that they\n Deny (the revelation)\n Which God has sent down,\n In insolent envy that God\n Of His Grace should send it\n To any of His servants He pleases:\nThus have they drawn\n On themselves Wrath upon Wrath.\n And humiliating is the punishment\n Of those who reject Faith.\n91. Wa-itha qeela lahum aminoo bima anzala Allahu qaloo nu/minu bima onzila AAalayna wayakfuroona bima waraahu wahuwa alhaqqu musaddiqan lima maAAahum qul falima taqtuloona anbiyaa Allahi min qablu in kuntum mu/mineena\n91. When it is said to them,\n \"Believe in what God\n Hath sent down,\" they say,\n \"We believe in what was sent down\n To us\": yet they reject\n All besides, even if it be Truth\n Confirming what is with them.\n Say: \"Why then have ye slain\n The prophets of God in times\n Gone by, if ye did indeed\n Believe?\"\n92. Walaqad jaakum moosa bialbayyinati thumma ittakhathtumu alAAijla min baAAdihi waantum thalimoona\n92. There came to you Moses\n With clear (Signs); yet\n Ye worshipped the Calf\n (Even) after that, and ye\n Did behave wrongfully.\n93. Wa-ith akhathna meethaqakum warafaAAna fawqakumu alttoora khuthoo ma ataynakum biquwwatin waismaAAoo qaloo samiAAna waAAasayna waoshriboo fee quloobihimu alAAijla bikufrihim qul bi/sama ya/murukum bihi eemanukum in kuntum mu/mineena\n93. And remember We took\n Your Covenant and We raised\n Above you (the towering height)\n Of Mount (Sinai):\n (Saying): \"Hold firmly\n To what We have given you,\n And hearken (to the Law)\"\n They said: \"We hear,\n And we disobey\"\n And they had to drink\nInto their hearts\n (Of the taint) of the Calf\n Because of their Faithlessness.\n Say: \"Vile indeed\n Are the behests of your Faith\n If ye have any faith!\"\n94. Qul in kanat lakumu alddaru al-akhiratu AAinda Allahi khalisatan min dooni alnnasi fatamannawoo almawta in kuntum sadiqeena\n94. Say: \"If the last Home,\n With God, be for you specially,\n And not for anyone else,\n Then seek ye for death,\n If ye are sincere.\"\n95. Walan yatamannawhu abadan bima qaddamat aydeehim waAllahu AAaleemun bialththalimeena\n95. But they will never seek\n For death, on account of the (sins)\n Which their hands have sent\n On before them.\n And God is well-acquainted\n With the wrong-doers.\n96. Walatajidannahum ahrasa alnnasi AAala hayatin wamina allatheena ashrakoo yawaddu ahaduhum law yuAAammaru alfa sanatin wama huwa bimuzahzihihi mina alAAathabi an yuAAammara waAllahu baseerun bima yaAAmaloona\n96. Thou wilt indeed find them,\n Of all people, most greedy\n Of life,\u2014even more\n Than the idolaters:\n Each one of them wishes\n He could be given a life\n Of a thousand years:\n But the grant of such life\n Will not save him\n From (due) punishment.\n For God sees well\n All that they do.","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra II.: Baqara, or the Heifer.: Section...","type":"page"}
