Translation

EN

When it is said to them, "Believe in what Allah Hath sent down, "they say, "We believe in what was sent down to us:" yet they reject all besides, even if it be Truth confirming what is with them. Say: "Why then have ye slain the prophets of Allah in times gone by, if ye did indeed believe?"

A. Yusuf Alipublic-domain

When it is said to them, ‘Believe in God’s revelations,’ they reply, ‘We believe in what was revealed to us,’ but they do not believe in what came afterwards, though it is the truth confirming what they already have. Say [Muhammad], ‘Why did you kill God’s prophets in the past if you were true believers?

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

And when it is said unto them: Believe in that which Allah hath revealed, they say: We believe in that which was revealed unto us. And they disbelieve in that which cometh after it, though it is the truth confirming that which they possess. Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Why then slew ye the prophets of Allah aforetime, if ye are (indeed) believers?

M. Pickthallpublic-domain

And when it is said to them, "Believe in what Allāh has revealed," they say, "We believe [only] in what was revealed to us." And they disbelieve in what came after it, while it is the truth confirming that which is with them. Say, "Then why did you kill the prophets of Allāh before, if you are [indeed] believers?"

Onlara, "Allah'ın indirdiğine inanın" denildiğinde "Bize indirilene inanırız" deyip ondan sonra gelen Kuran'ı inkar ederler; halbuki o, ellerinde bulunan Tevrat'ı tasdik eden hak bir Kitap'dır. Onlara "Eğer inanıyor idiyseniz niçin daha önce Allah'ın peygamberlerini öldürüyordunuz?" diye sor.

Onlara, "Allah ne indirdiyse ona iman edin." denildiği zaman, onlar "Biz kendimize indirilene iman ederiz." derler ve ondan başkasını inkâr ederler. Oysa yanlarındaki Tevrat'ı tasdik eden gerçek vahiy odur. Onlara de ki; "Peki madem gerçek mümin sizsiniz de ne diye daha önce Allah'ın peygamberlerini öldürüyordunuz?

Elmalılı Hamdi Yazırpublic-domain

Kendilerine “Allah’ın indirdiğine iman edin!” denince, “Biz sadece bize indirilene (Tevrat’a) inanırız.” derler ve ondan başkasını inkâr ederler. (Oysa) o (Kur’an), kendilerinde bulunanı (Tevrat’ın aslını) doğrulayıcı gerçektir. (Onlara) de ki: “Siz inanıyor idiyseniz peki daha önce Allah’ın peygamberlerini neden öldürüyordunuz?”

وإذا قال بعض المسلمين لليهود: صدِّقوا بما أنزل الله من القرآن، قالوا: نحن نصدِّق بما أنزل الله على أنبيائنا، ويجحدون ما أنزل الله بعد ذلك، وهو الحق مصدقًا لما معهم. فلو كانوا يؤمنون بكتبهم حقًا لآمنوا بالقرآن الذي صدَّقها. قل لهم -يا محمد-: إن كنتم مؤمنين بما أنزل الله عليكم، فلماذا قتلتم أنبياء الله مِن قبل؟
