مَنْ
who
ءَامَنَ believed بِٱللَّهِ in Allah وَٱلْيَوْمِ and the Day ٱلْءَاخِرِ [the] Last وَعَمِلَ and did صَٰلِحًا righteous deeds, فَلَهُمْ so for them أَجْرُهُمْ their reward عِندَ (is) with
رَبِّهِمْ their Lord وَلَا and no خَوْفٌ fear عَلَيْهِمْ on them وَلَا and not هُمْ they يَحْزَنُونَ will grieve. وَإِذْ And when أَخَذْنَا We took
مِيثَٰقَكُمْ your covenant وَرَفَعْنَا and We raised فَوْقَكُمُ over you ٱلطُّورَ the mount, خُذُوا۟ "Hold مَآ what ءَاتَيْنَٰكُم We have given you
بِقُوَّةٍ with strength, وَٱذْكُرُوا۟ and remember مَا what فِيهِ (is) in it, لَعَلَّكُمْ perhaps you تَتَّقُونَ (would become) righteous." ثُمَّ Then تَوَلَّيْتُم you turned away
مِّنۢ from بَعْدِ after ذَٰلِكَ that. فَلَوْلَا So if not فَضْلُ (for the) Grace ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah عَلَيْكُمْ upon you وَرَحْمَتُهُۥ and His Mercy, لَكُنتُم surely you would have been مِّنَ of
ٱلْخَٰسِرِينَ the losers. وَلَقَدْ And indeed, عَلِمْتُمُ you knew ٱلَّذِينَ those who ٱعْتَدَوْا۟ transgressed مِنكُمْ among you فِى in ٱلسَّبْتِ the (matter of) Sabbath.
فَقُلْنَا So We said لَهُمْ to them, كُونُوا۟ "Be قِرَدَةً apes, خَٰسِـِٔينَ despised." فَجَعَلْنَٰهَا So We made it نَكَٰلًا a deterrent punishment لِّمَا for those
بَيْنَ (in) front يَدَيْهَا (of) them وَمَا and those خَلْفَهَا after them وَمَوْعِظَةً and an admonition لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ for those who fear (Allah). وَإِذْ And when قَالَ said
مُوسَىٰ Musa لِقَوْمِهِۦٓ to his people, إِنَّ "Indeed, ٱللَّهَ Allah يَأْمُرُكُمْ commands you أَن that تَذْبَحُوا۟ you slaughter بَقَرَةً a cow." قَالُوٓا۟ They said,
أَتَتَّخِذُنَا "Do you take us هُزُوًا (in) ridicule." قَالَ He said, أَعُوذُ "I seek refuge بِٱللَّهِ in Allah أَنْ that أَكُونَ I be مِنَ among ٱلْجَٰهِلِينَ the ignorant."
قَالُوا۟ They said, ٱدْعُ "Pray لَنَا for us رَبَّكَ (to) your Lord يُبَيِّن to make clear لَّنَا to us مَا what هِىَ it (is)." قَالَ He said, إِنَّهُۥ "Indeed, He يَقُولُ says, إِنَّهَا "[Indeed] it
بَقَرَةٌ (is) a cow لَّا not فَارِضٌ old وَلَا and not بِكْرٌ young, عَوَانٌۢ middle aged بَيْنَ between ذَٰلِكَ that," فَٱفْعَلُوا۟ so do مَا what
تُؤْمَرُونَ you are commanded." قَالُوا۟ They said, ٱدْعُ "Pray لَنَا for us رَبَّكَ (to) your Lord يُبَيِّن to make clear لَّنَا to us مَا what لَوْنُهَا (is) its color." قَالَ He said, إِنَّهُۥ "Indeed, He
يَقُولُ says, إِنَّهَا '[Indeed] it is بَقَرَةٌ a cow صَفْرَآءُ yellow, فَاقِعٌ bright لَّوْنُهَا (in) its color, تَسُرُّ pleasing ٱلنَّٰظِرِينَ (to) those who see (it).'"
