حَسْبُنَا
"Sufficient for us
مَا (is) what وَجَدْنَا we found عَلَيْهِ upon it ءَابَآءَنَآ our forefathers." أَوَلَوْ Even though كَانَ (that) ءَابَآؤُهُمْ their forefathers لَا (were) not يَعْلَمُونَ knowing
شَيْـًٔا anything وَلَا and not يَهْتَدُونَ they (were) guided? يَٰٓأَيُّهَا O you ٱلَّذِينَ who ءَامَنُوا۟ believe! عَلَيْكُمْ Upon you أَنفُسَكُمْ (is to guard) yourselves.
لَا Not يَضُرُّكُم will harm you مَّن (those) who ضَلَّ (have gone) astray إِذَا when ٱهْتَدَيْتُمْ you have been guided. إِلَى To ٱللَّهِ Allah مَرْجِعُكُمْ (is) your return - جَمِيعًا all;
فَيُنَبِّئُكُم then He will inform you بِمَا of what كُنتُمْ you used to تَعْمَلُونَ do. يَٰٓأَيُّهَا O you ٱلَّذِينَ who ءَامَنُوا۟ believe! شَهَٰدَةُ (Take) testimony

عَدْلٍ just, مِّنكُمْ among you, أَوْ or ءَاخَرَانِ two others مِنْ from غَيْرِكُمْ other than you إِنْ if أَنتُمْ you ضَرَبْتُمْ (are) travel(ing) فِى in ٱلْأَرْضِ the earth
فَأَصَٰبَتْكُم then befalls you مُّصِيبَةُ calamity ٱلْمَوْتِ (of) [the] death. تَحْبِسُونَهُمَا Detain both of them مِنۢ from بَعْدِ after ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ the prayer
فَيُقْسِمَانِ and let them both swear بِٱللَّهِ by Allah إِنِ if ٱرْتَبْتُمْ you doubt, لَا "Not نَشْتَرِى we will exchange بِهِۦ it for ثَمَنًا a price وَلَوْ even if كَانَ he is ذَا (of)

ٱسْتَحَقَّ have a lawful right عَلَيْهِمُ over them - ٱلْأَوْلَيَٰنِ the former two - فَيُقْسِمَانِ and let them both swear بِٱللَّهِ by Allah لَشَهَٰدَتُنَآ "Surely our testimony أَحَقُّ (is) truer مِن than
