2:247

Their Prophet said to them: "Allah hath appointed Talut as king over you." They said: "How can he exercise authority over us when we are better fitted than he to exercise authority, and he is not even gifted, with wealth in abundance?" He said: "Allah hath Chosen him above you, and hath gifted him abundantly with knowledge and bodily prowess: Allah Granteth His authority to whom He pleaseth. Allah careth for all, and He knoweth all things."

Their prophet said to them, ‘God has now appointed Talut to be your king,’ but they said, ‘How can he be king over us when we have a greater right to rule than he? He does not even have great wealth.’ He said, ‘God has chosen him over you, and has given him great knowledge and stature. God grants His authority to whoever He pleases: God is magnanimous, all knowing.’

Their Prophet said unto them: Lo! Allah hath raised up Saul to be a king for you. They said: How can he have kingdom over us when we are more deserving of the kingdom than he is, since he hath not been given wealth enough? He said: Lo! Allah hath chosen him above you, and hath increased him abundantly in wisdom and stature. Allah bestoweth His Sovereignty on whom He will. Allah is All-Embracing, All-Knowing.

And their prophet said to them, "Indeed, Allāh has sent to you Saul as a king." They said, "How can he have kingship over us while we are more worthy of kingship than him and he has not been given any measure of wealth?" He said, "Indeed, Allāh has chosen him over you and has increased him abundantly in knowledge and stature. And Allāh gives His sovereignty to whom He wills. And Allāh is all-Encompassing [in favor] and Knowing."

Peygamberleri onlara "Allah size şüphesiz, Talut'u hükümdar olarak gönderdi" dedi. "Biz hükümdarlığa ondan layık iken ve ona malca da bir bolluk verilmemişken bize hükümdar olmağa o nasıl layık olabilir?" dediler, "Doğrusu Allah size onu seçti, bilgice ve vücutça gücünü artırdı" dedi. Allah mülkü dilediğine verir. Allah her şeyi kaplar ve bilir.

Peygamberleri onlara: "Allah, size hükümdar olmak üzere Talût'u gönderdi." demişti. Onlar: "Ona bizim üzerimize hükümdar olmak nereden geldi? Oysa hükümdarlığa biz ondan daha lâyıkız, ona maldan bir genişlik, bir bolluk da verilmemiştir." dediler. Peygamberleri de "Onu sizin başınıza Allah seçmiş ve ona bilgi ve vücut bakımından bir güç, bir genişlik vermiştir." dedi. Hem Allah, mülkünü dilediğine verir. Allah'ın rahmeti geniştir, o her şeyi bilir.

Peygamberleri onlara “Elbette Allah, Talut’u size hükümdar olarak gönderdi (görevlendirdi)” deyince, onlar “Biz hükümdarlığa daha layık olduğumuz hâlde, kendisine servet ve zenginlik yönünden geniş imkânlar verilmemişken, nasıl o bize hükümdar olur?” demişlerdi. (O peygamber) şöyle demişti: “Allah onu sizin üzerinize seçti, ilimde ve bedende ona üstünlük verdi. Allah, hükümdarlığı dilediğine (layık olana) verir. Allah, (imkânları) geniş olandır, bilendir.”

وقال لهم نبيهم: إن الله قد أرسل إليكم طالوت مَلِكًا إجابة لطلبكم، يقودكم لقتال عدوكم كما طلبتم. قال كبراء بني إسرائيل: كيف يكون طالوت مَلِكًا علينا، وهو لا يستحق ذلك؟ لأنه ليس من سبط الملوك، ولا من بيت النبوة، ولم يُعْط كثرة في الأموال يستعين بها في ملكه، فنحن أحق بالملك منه؛ لأننا من سبط الملوك ومن بيت النبوة. قال لهم نبيهم: إن الله اختاره عليكم وهو سبحانه أعلم بأمور عباده، وزاده سَعَة في العلم وقوة في الجسم ليجاهد العدو. والله مالك الملك يعطي ملكه مَن يشاء من عباده، والله واسع الفضل والعطاء، عليم بحقائق الأمور، لا يخفى عليه شيء.
