2:213

كَانَ ٱلنَّاسُ أُمَّةً وَٰحِدَةً فَبَعَثَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ مُبَشِّرِينَ وَمُنذِرِينَ وَأَنزَلَ مَعَهُمُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ بِٱلْحَقِّ لِيَحْكُمَ بَيْنَ ٱلنَّاسِ فِيمَا ٱخْتَلَفُوا۟ فِيهِ ۚ وَمَا ٱخْتَلَفَ فِيهِ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوهُ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَتْهُمُ ٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتُ بَغْيًۢا بَيْنَهُمْ ۖ فَهَدَى ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لِمَا ٱخْتَلَفُوا۟ فِيهِ مِنَ ٱلْحَقِّ بِإِذْنِهِۦ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ يَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ

Translation

EN

Mankind was one single nation, and Allah sent Messengers with glad tidings and warnings; and with them He sent the Book in truth, to judge between people in matters wherein they differed; but the People of the Book, after the clear Signs came to them, did not differ among themselves, except through selfish contumacy. Allah by His Grace Guided the believers to the Truth, concerning that wherein they differed. For Allah guided whom He will to a path that is straight.

A. Yusuf Alipublic-domain

Mankind was a single community, then God sent prophets to bring good news and warning, and with them He sent the Scripture with the Truth, to judge between people in their disagreements. It was only those to whom it was given who disagreed about it after clear signs had come to them, because of rivalry between them. So by His leave God guided the believers to the truth they had differed about: God guides whoever He will to a straight path.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleemall-rights-reserved

Mankind were one community, and Allah sent (unto them) prophets as bearers of good tidings and as warners, and revealed therewith the Scripture with the truth that it might judge between mankind concerning that wherein they differed. And only those unto whom (the Scripture) was given differed concerning it, after clear proofs had come unto them, through hatred one of another. And Allah by His Will guided those who believe unto the truth of that concerning which they differed. Allah guideth whom He will unto a straight path.

M. Pickthallpublic-domain

Mankind was [of] one religion [before their deviation]; then Allāh sent the prophets as bringers of good tidings and warners and sent down with them the Scripture in truth to judge between the people concerning that in which they differed. And none differed over it [i.e., the Scripture] except those who were given it - after the clear proofs came to them - out of jealous animosity among themselves. And Allāh guided those who believed to the truth concerning that over which they had differed, by His permission. And Allāh guides whom He wills to a straight path.

İnsanlar bir tek ümmetti. Allah peygamberleri müjdeci ve uyarıcı olarak gönderdi; insanların ayrılığa düşecekleri hususlarda aralarında hüküm vermek için onlarla birlikte hak Kitaplar indirdi. Ancak Kitap verilenler, kendilerine belgeler geldikten sonra, aralarındaki ihtiras yüzünden onda ayrılığa düştüler. Allah, inananları, ayrılığa düştükleri gerçeğe kendi izni ile eriştirdi. Allah dilediğini doğru yola eriştirir.

İnsanlar tek bir ümmetti. Ayrılmaları üzerine Allah, rahmetinin müjdecileri ve azabının habercileri olmak üzere peygamberler gönderdi ve beraberlerinde hak ile ilgili kitap indirdi ki, insanların, aralarında ihtilaf ettikleri şeyler hakkında hakem olsun. Bunda da sırf o kitap verilenler, kendilerine bunca deliller geldikten sonra tuttular, aralarındaki hırs ve kıskançlık yüzünden anlaşmazlığa düştüler. Bunun üzerine Allah kendi izniyle, iman edenleri, onların hakkında anlaşmazlığa düştükleri hakka, ulaştırdı. Allah, dilediğini doğru yola iletir.

İnsanlar tek bir ümmetti.Allah müjdeleyiciler ve uyarıcılar olarak peygamberleri göndermiştir. Anlaşmazlığa düştükleri konularda insanlar arasında hüküm vermesi için onlarla birlikte Kitabı bir amaç doğrultusunda indirmiştir. Ancak (kitap) verilenler, kendilerine apaçık deliller geldikten sonra aralarındaki kıskançlık nedeniyle (dinde) anlaşmazlığa düşmüşlerdi. (Bunun üzerine) Allah iman edenlere, üzerinde çelişkiye düştükleri gerçeği, buyruğuyla göstermiştir. Allah dileyeni (layık gördüğünü) doğru yola ulaştırır.

AR

كان الناس جماعة واحدة، متفقين على الإيمان بالله ثم اختلفوا في دينهم، فبعث الله النبيين دعاة لدين الله، مبشرين مَن أطاع الله بالجنة، ومحذرين من كفر به وعصاه النار، وأنزل معهم الكتب السماوية بالحق الذي اشتملت عليه؛ ليحكموا بما فيها بين الناس فيما اختلفوا فيه، وما اخْتَلَف في أمر محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم وكتابه ظلمًا وحسدًا إلا الذين أعطاهم الله التوراة، وعرفوا ما فيها من الحجج والأحكام، فوفَّق الله المؤمنين بفضله إلى تمييز الحق من الباطل، ومعرفة ما اختلفوا فيه. والله يوفِّق من يشاء من عباده إلى طريق مستقيم.
