لَقَدْ Certainly laqad We took akhadhnā a Covenant mīthāqa (from the) Children banī (of) Israel is'rāīla and We sent wa-arsalnā to them ilayhim Messengers rusulan Whenever kullamā came to them jāahum any Messenger rasūlun with what bimā not lā desired tahwā their souls anfusuhum a group farīqan they denied kadhabū and a group wafarīqan they kill yaqtulūna
We had already taken the covenant of the Children of Israel and had sent to them messengers. Whenever there came to them a messenger with what their souls did not desire, a party [of messengers] they denied, and another party they killed.
وَحَسِبُوٓا۟ And they thought waḥasibū that not allā will be (for them) takūna a trial fit'natun so they became blind faʿamū and they became deaf waṣammū Then thumma turned tāba Allah l-lahu to them ʿalayhim then (again) thumma they became blind ʿamū and they became deaf waṣammū many kathīrun of them min'hum And Allah wal-lahu (is) All-Seer baṣīrun of what bimā they do yaʿmalūna
And they thought there would be no [resulting] punishment, so they became blind and deaf. Then Allāh turned to them in forgiveness; then [again] many of them became blind and deaf. And Allāh is Seeing of what they do.
