وَلَقَدْ And indeed walaqad We revealed anzalnā to you ilayka Verses āyātin clear bayyinātin and not wamā disbelieves yakfuru in them bihā except illā the defiantly disobedient l-fāsiqūna
And We have certainly revealed to you verses [which are] clear proofs, and no one would deny them except the defiantly disobedient.
أَوَكُلَّمَا And is (it not that) whenever awakullamā they took ʿāhadū a covenant ʿahdan threw it away nabadhahu a party farīqun of them min'hum Nay bal most of them aktharuhum (do) not lā believe yu'minūna
Is it not [true] that every time they took a covenant a party of them threw it away? But, [in fact], most of them do not believe.
وَلَمَّا And when walammā came to them jāahum a Messenger rasūlun (of) min from ʿindi Allah l-lahi confirming muṣaddiqun what limā (was) with them maʿahum threw away nabadha a party farīqun of mina those who alladhīna were given ūtū the Book l-kitāba (the) Book kitāba (of) Allah l-lahi behind warāa their backs ẓuhūrihim as if they ka-annahum (do) not lā know yaʿlamūna
And when a messenger from Allāh came to them confirming that which was with them, a party of those who had been given the Scripture threw the Scripture of Allāh [i.e., the Torah] behind their backs as if they did not know [what it contained].
وَٱتَّبَعُوا۟ And they followed wa-ittabaʿū what mā recite(d) tatlū the devils l-shayāṭīnu over ʿalā (the) kingdom mul'ki (of) Sulaiman sulaymāna And not wamā disbelieved kafara Sulaiman sulaymānu [and] but walākinna the devils l-shayāṭīna disbelieved kafarū they teach yuʿallimūna the people l-nāsa [the] magic l-siḥ'ra and what wamā was sent down unzila to ʿalā the two angels l-malakayni in Babylon bibābila Harut hārūta and Marut wamārūta And not wamā they both teach yuʿallimāni any min one aḥadin unless ḥattā they [both] say yaqūlā Only innamā we naḥnu (are) a trial fit'natun so (do) not falā disbelieve takfur But they learn fayataʿallamūna from those two min'humā what mā [they] causes separation yufarriqūna with it bihi between bayna the man l-mari and his spouse wazawjihi And not wamā they (could) hum at all [be those who] harm biḍārrīna with it bihi any min one aḥadin except illā by permission bi-idh'ni (of) Allah l-lahi And they learn wayataʿallamūna what mā harms them yaḍurruhum and not walā profits them yanfaʿuhum And indeed walaqad they knew ʿalimū that whoever lamani buys it ish'tarāhu not mā for him lahu in fī the Hereafter l-ākhirati any min share khalāqin And surely evil walabi'sa (is) what mā they sold sharaw with it bihi themselves anfusahum if law they were kānū (to) know yaʿlamūna
And they followed [instead] what the devils had recited during the reign of Solomon. It was not Solomon who disbelieved, but the devils disbelieved, teaching people magic and that which was revealed to the two angels at Babylon, Hārūt and Mārūt. But they [i.e., the two angels] do not teach anyone unless they say, "We are a trial, so do not disbelieve [by practicing magic]." And [yet] they learn from them that by which they cause separation between a man and his wife. But they do not harm anyone through it except by permission of Allāh. And they [i.e., people] learn what harms them and does not benefit them. But they [i.e., the Children of Israel] certainly knew that whoever purchased it [i.e., magic] would not have in the Hereafter any share. And wretched is that for which they sold themselves, if they only knew.
وَلَوْ And if walaw [that] they annahum (had) believed āmanū and feared (Allah) wa-ittaqaw surely (the) reward lamathūbatun (of) min from ʿindi Allah l-lahi (would have been) better khayrun if law they were kānū (to) know yaʿlamūna
And if they had believed and feared Allāh, then the reward from Allāh would have been [far] better, if they only knew.
