من أجل ذلك كتبنا على بني إسرائيل أنه من قتل نفسا بغير نفس أو فساد في الأرض فكأنما قتل الناس جميعا ومن أحياها فكأنما أحيا الناس جميعا ولقد جاءتهم رسلنا بالبينات ثم إن كثيرا منهم بعد ذلك في الأرض لمسرفون
32That is why We decreed for the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul, without [its being guilty of] manslaughter or corruption on the earth, is as though he had killed all mankind, and whoever saves a life is as though he had saved all mankind. Our apostles certainly brought them manifest signs, yet even after that, many of them commit excesses on the earth.
min ʾajli dhālika katabnā ʿalā banī ʾisrāʾīla ʾannahū man qatala nafsan bi-ghayri nafsin ʾaw fasādin fī l-ʾarḍi fa-ka-ʾannamā qatala n-nāsa jamīʿan wa-man ʾaḥyāhā fa-ka-ʾannamā ʾaḥyā n-nāsa jamīʿan wa-la-qad jāʾathum rusulunā bi-l-bayyināti thumma ʾinna kathīran minhum baʿda dhālika fī l-ʾarḍi la-musrifūna
إنما جزاء الذين يحاربون الله ورسوله ويسعون في الأرض فسادا أن يقتلوا أو يصلبوا أو تقطع أيديهم وأرجلهم من خلاف أو ينفوا من الأرض ذلك لهم خزي في الدنيا ولهم في الآخرة عذاب عظيم
33Indeed the requital of those who wage war against Allah and His Apostle, and try to cause corruption on the earth, is that they shall be slain or crucified, or shall have their hands and feet cut off from opposite sides, or be banished from the land. That is a disgrace for them in this world, and in the Hereafter, there is a great punishment for them,
ʾinnamā jazāʾu lladhīna yuḥāribūna llāha wa-rasūlahū wa-yasʿawna fī l-ʾarḍi fasādan ʾan yuqattalū ʾaw yuṣallabū ʾaw tuqaṭṭaʿa ʾaydīhim wa-ʾarjuluhum min khilāfin ʾaw yunfaw mina l-ʾarḍi dhālika lahum khizyun fī d-dunyā wa-lahum fī l-ʾākhirati ʿadhābun ʿaẓīmun
إلا الذين تابوا من قبل أن تقدروا عليهم فاعلموا أن الله غفور رحيم
34excepting those who repent before you capture them, and know that Allah is all-forgiving, all-merciful.
ʾillā lladhīna tābū min qabli ʾan taqdirū ʿalayhim fa-ʿlamū ʾanna llāha ghafūrun raḥīmun
يا أيها الذين آمنوا اتقوا الله وابتغوا إليه الوسيلة وجاهدوا في سبيله لعلكم تفلحون
35O you who have faith! Be wary of Allah, and seek the means of recourse to Him, and wage jihad in His way, so that you may be felicitous.
yā-ʾayyuhā lladhīna ʾāmanū ttaqū llāha wa-btaghū ʾilayhi l-wasīlata wa-jāhidū fī sabīlihī laʿallakum tufliḥūna
إن الذين كفروا لو أن لهم ما في الأرض جميعا ومثله معه ليفتدوا به من عذاب يوم القيامة ما تقبل منهم ولهم عذاب أليم
36Indeed if the faithless possessed all that is on the earth, and as much of it besides, to redeem themselves with it from the punishment of the Day of Resurrection, it shall not be accepted from them, and there is a painful punishment for them.
ʾinna lladhīna kafarū law ʾanna lahum mā fī l-ʾarḍi jamīʿan wa-mithlahū maʿahū li-yaftadū bihī min ʿadhābi yawmi l-qiyāmati mā tuqubbila minhum wa-lahum ʿadhābun ʾalīmun
