قَالُوا۟ they said لِنَبِىٍّ to a Prophet لَّهُمُ of theirs, ٱبْعَثْ "Appoint لَنَا for us مَلِكًا a king, نُّقَٰتِلْ we may fight فِى in سَبِيلِ (the) way ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah?"
قَالَ He said, هَلْ "Would عَسَيْتُمْ you perhaps - إِن if كُتِبَ prescribed عَلَيْكُمُ upon you ٱلْقِتَالُ [the] fighting, أَلَّا that not تُقَٰتِلُوا۟ you fight?"
قَالُوا۟ They said, وَمَا "And what لَنَآ for us أَلَّا that not نُقَٰتِلَ we fight فِى in سَبِيلِ (the) way ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah وَقَدْ while surely أُخْرِجْنَا we have been driven
مِن from دِيَٰرِنَا our homes وَأَبْنَآئِنَا and our children?" فَلَمَّا Yet, when كُتِبَ was prescribed عَلَيْهِمُ upon them ٱلْقِتَالُ the fighting تَوَلَّوْا۟ they turned away,
إِلَّا except قَلِيلًا a few مِّنْهُمْ among them. وَٱللَّهُ And Allah عَلِيمٌۢ (is) All-Knowing بِٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ of the wrongdoers. وَقَالَ And said لَهُمْ to them
نَبِيُّهُمْ their Prophet, إِنَّ "Indeed, ٱللَّهَ Allah قَدْ (has) surely بَعَثَ raised لَكُمْ for you طَالُوتَ Talut مَلِكًا (as) a king."
قَالُوٓا۟ They said, أَنَّىٰ How يَكُونُ can be لَهُ for him ٱلْمُلْكُ the kingship عَلَيْنَا over us, وَنَحْنُ while we أَحَقُّ (are) more entitled
بِٱلْمُلْكِ to kingship مِنْهُ than him, وَلَمْ and not يُؤْتَ he has been given سَعَةً abundance مِّنَ of ٱلْمَالِ [the] wealth?" قَالَ He said, إِنَّ "Indeed, ٱللَّهَ Allah
ٱصْطَفَىٰهُ has chosen him عَلَيْكُمْ over you وَزَادَهُۥ and increased him بَسْطَةً abundantly فِى in ٱلْعِلْمِ [the] knowledge وَٱلْجِسْمِ and [the] physique.
وَٱللَّهُ And Allah يُؤْتِى gives مُلْكَهُۥ His kingdom مَن (to) whom يَشَآءُ He wills. وَٱللَّهُ And Allah وَٰسِعٌ (is) All-Encompassing, عَلِيمٌ All-Knowing."
وَقَالَ And said لَهُمْ to them نَبِيُّهُمْ their Prophet, إِنَّ "Indeed, ءَايَةَ a sign مُلْكِهِۦٓ (of) his kingship أَن (is) that يَأْتِيَكُمُ will come to you
ٱلتَّابُوتُ the ark, فِيهِ in it سَكِينَةٌ (is) tranquility مِّن from رَّبِّكُمْ your Lord, وَبَقِيَّةٌ and a remnant مِّمَّا of what
تَرَكَ (was) left ءَالُ (by the) family مُوسَىٰ (of) Musa وَءَالُ and family هَٰرُونَ (of) Harun تَحْمِلُهُ will carry it ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ the Angels.
إِنَّ Indeed, فِى in ذَٰلِكَ that لَءَايَةً (is) surely a sign لَّكُمْ for you إِن if كُنتُم you are مُّؤْمِنِينَ believers."
