فَلَمَّا Then when falammā set out faṣala Talut ṭālūtu with the forces bil-junūdi he said qāla Indeed inna Allah l-laha will test you mub'talīkum with a river binaharin So whoever faman drinks shariba from it min'hu then he is not falaysa from me minnī and whoever waman (does) not lam taste it yaṭʿamhu then indeed, he fa-innahu (is) from me minnī except illā whoever mani takes igh'tarafa (in the) hollow ghur'fatan (of) his hand biyadihi Then they drank fasharibū from it min'hu except illā a few qalīlan of them min'hum Then when falammā he crossed it jāwazahu he huwa and those who wa-alladhīna believed āmanū with him maʿahu they said qālū No lā strength ṭāqata for us lanā today l-yawma against Jalut bijālūta and his troops wajunūdihi Said qāla those who alladhīna were certain yaẓunnūna that they annahum (would) meet mulāqū Allah l-lahi How many kam of min a company fi-atin small qalīlatin overcame ghalabat a company fi-atan large kathīratan by (the) permission bi-idh'ni (of) Allah l-lahi And Allah wal-lahu (is) with maʿa the patient ones l-ṣābirīna
And when Saul went forth with the soldiers, he said, "Indeed, Allāh will be testing you with a river. So whoever drinks from it is not of me, and whoever does not taste it is indeed of me, excepting one who takes [from it] in the hollow of his hand." But they drank from it, except a [very] few of them. Then when he had crossed it along with those who believed with him, they said, "There is no power for us today against Goliath and his soldiers." But those who were certain that they would meet Allāh said, "How many a small company has overcome a large company by permission of Allāh. And Allāh is with the patient."
وَلَمَّا And when walammā they went forth barazū to (face) Jalut lijālūta and his troops wajunūdihi they said qālū Our Lord rabbanā Pour afrigh on us ʿalaynā patience ṣabran and make firm wathabbit our feet aqdāmanā and help us wa-unṣur'nā against ʿalā the people l-qawmi (who are) disbelieving l-kāfirīna
And when they went forth to [face] Goliath and his soldiers, they said, "Our Lord, pour upon us patience and plant firmly our feet and give us victory over the disbelieving people."
فَهَزَمُوهُم So they defeated them fahazamūhum by (the) permission bi-idh'ni (of) Allah l-lahi and killed waqatala Dawood dāwūdu Jalut jālūta and gave him waātāhu Allah l-lahu the kingdom l-mul'ka and the wisdom wal-ḥik'mata and taught him waʿallamahu that which mimmā He willed yashāu And if not walawlā (for the) repelling dafʿu (by) Allah l-lahi [the] people l-nāsa some of them baʿḍahum with others bibaʿḍin certainly (would have) corrupted lafasadati the Earth l-arḍu [and] but walākinna Allah l-laha (is) Possessor dhū (of) bounty faḍlin to ʿalā the worlds l-ʿālamīna
So they defeated them by permission of Allāh, and David killed Goliath, and Allāh gave him the kingship and wisdom [i.e., prophethood] and taught him from that which He willed. And if it were not for Allāh checking [some] people by means of others, the earth would have been corrupted, but Allāh is the possessor of bounty for the worlds.
تِلْكَ These til'ka (are the) Verses āyātu (of) Allah l-lahi We recite them natlūhā to you ʿalayka in [the] truth bil-ḥaqi And indeed, you wa-innaka (are) surely of lamina the Messengers l-mur'salīna
These are the verses of Allāh which We recite to you, [O Muḥammad], in truth. And indeed, you are from among the messengers.
