وَلَقَدْ And certainly walaqad We sent arsalnā Nuh nūḥan and Ibrahim wa-ib'rāhīma and We placed wajaʿalnā in fī their offspring dhurriyyatihimā Prophethood l-nubuwata and the Scripture wal-kitāba and among them famin'hum (is) a guided one muh'tadin but most wakathīrun of them min'hum (are) defiantly disobediently fāsiqūna
And We have already sent Noah and Abraham and placed in their descendants prophethood and scripture; and among them is he who is guided, but many of them are defiantly disobedient.
ثُمَّ Then thumma We sent qaffaynā on ʿalā their footsteps āthārihim Our Messengers birusulinā and We followed waqaffaynā with Isa biʿīsā son ib'ni (of) Maryam maryama and We gave him waātaynāhu the Injeel l-injīla And We placed wajaʿalnā in fī (the) hearts qulūbi (of) those who alladhīna followed him ittabaʿūhu compassion rafatan and mercy waraḥmatan But monasticism warahbāniyyatan they innovated ib'tadaʿūhā not mā We prescribed it katabnāhā for them ʿalayhim only illā seeking ib'tighāa (the) pleasure riḍ'wāni (of) Allah l-lahi but not famā they observed it raʿawhā (with) right ḥaqqa observance riʿāyatihā So We gave faātaynā those who alladhīna believed āmanū among them min'hum their reward ajrahum but most wakathīrun of them min'hum (are) defiantly disobediently fāsiqūna
Then We sent following their footsteps [i.e., traditions] Our messengers and followed [them] with Jesus, the son of Mary, and gave him the Gospel. And We placed in the hearts of those who followed him compassion and mercy and monasticism, which they innovated; We did not prescribe it for them except [that they did so] seeking the approval of Allāh. But they did not observe it with due observance. So We gave the ones who believed among them their reward, but many of them are defiantly disobedient.
