Translation

EN

He said: "He says: A heifer not trained to till the soil or water the fields; sound and without blemish." They said: "Now hast thou brought the truth." Then they offered her in sacrifice, but not with good-will.

A. Yusuf Alipublic-domain

He replied, ‘It is a perfect and unblemished cow, not trained to till the earth or water the fields.’ They said, ‘Now you have brought the truth,’ and so they slaughtered it, though they almost failed to do so.

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

(Moses) answered: Lo! He saith: Verily she is a cow unyoked; she plougheth not the soil nor watereth the tilth; whole and without mark. They said: Now thou bringest the truth. So they sacrificed her, though almost they did not.

M. Pickthallpublic-domain

He said, "He says, 'It is a cow neither trained to plow the earth nor to irrigate the field, one free from fault with no spot upon her.'" They said, "Now you have come with the truth." So they slaughtered her, but they could hardly do it.

"Yeri sürüp, ekini sulayarak boyunduruk altında ezilmemiş, kusursuz, alacasız bir sığır olduğunu söylüyor" dedi. "Şimdi gerçeği bildirdin" deyip sığırı boğazladılar; az kalsın bunu yapmayacaklardı.

Musa, "Rabbim buyuruyor ki o, ne çifte koşulup tarla süren, ne de ekin sulayan, ne de salma gezen ve hiç alacası olmayan bir sığırdır". Onlar da: "İşte tam şimdi gerçeği ortaya koydun." dediler. Nihayet onu bulup boğazladılar. Az kaldı yapmayacaklardı.

Elmalılı Hamdi Yazırpublic-domain

(Musa da) “(Allah) diyor ki o, toprak sürmek üzere henüz boyunduruk altına alınmayan, ekin sulamayan, serbest dolaşan, renginde hiç alacası bulunmayan bir inektir.” demişti. (Bunun üzerine onlar) “İşte şimdi gerçeği getirdin (tam olarak açıkladın)!” cevabını vermişler ve hemen (onu bulup) kesmişlerdi (ama) neredeyse yapamayacaklardı.

قال لهم موسى: إن الله يقول: إنها بقرة غير مذللة للعمل في حراثة الأرض للزراعة، وغير معدة للسقي من الساقية، وخالية من العيوب جميعها، وليس فيها علامة من لون غير لون جلدها. قالوا: الآن جئت بحقيقة وصف البقرة، فاضطروا إلى ذبحها بعد طول المراوغة، وقد قاربوا ألا يفعلوا ذلك لعنادهم. وهكذا شددوا فشدَّد الله عليهم.
