Translation

EN

Ye are the best of peoples, evolved for mankind, enjoining what is right, forbidding what is wrong, and believing in Allah. If only the People of the Book had faith, it were best for them: among them are some who have faith, but most of them are perverted transgressors.

A. Yusuf Alipublic-domain

[Believers], you are the best community singled out for people: you order what is right, forbid what is wrong, and believe in God. If the People of the Book had also believed, it would have been better for them. For although some of them do believe, most of them are lawbreakers-

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

Ye are the best community that hath been raised up for mankind. Ye enjoin right conduct and forbid indecency; and ye believe in Allah. And if the People of the Scripture had believed it had been better for them. Some of them are believers; but most of them are evil-livers.

M. Pickthallpublic-domain

You are the best nation produced [as an example] for mankind. You enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and believe in Allāh. If only the People of the Scripture had believed, it would have been better for them. Among them are believers, but most of them are defiantly disobedient.

Siz, insanlar için ortaya çıkarılan, doğruluğu emreden, fenalıktan alıkoyan, Allah'a inanan hayırlı bir ümmetsiniz. Kitap ehli inanmış olsalardı, kendileri için daha hayırlı olurdu; içlerinde inananlar olmakla beraber, çoğu yoldan çıkmıştır.

Siz insanlar için çıkarılmış en hayırlı ümmetsiniz. İyiliği emreder, kötülükten vazgeçirmeğe çalışır ve Allah'a inanırsınız. Kitap ehli de inansaydı kendileri için elbette daha hayırlı olurdu. İçlerinden iman edenler de var, ama pek çoğu yoldan çıkmışlardır.

Siz, insanlar için çıkarılmış en hayırlı ümmetsiniz (topluluksunuz): İyiliği emreder (öğütler)siniz; kötülükten engeller (sakındırır)sınız ve Allah’a inan(ıp güvenir)siniz. Kitap ehli de inan(ıp güven)seydi, elbette bu kendileri için hayırlı olurdu. İçlerinden inanıp (güvenenler) de var; (fakat) çoğu yoldan çıkmışlardır.

أنتم - يا أمة محمد - خير الأمم وأنفع الناس للناس، تأمرون بالمعروف، وهو ما عُرف حسنه شرعًا وعقلا وتنهون عن المنكر، وهو ما عُرف قبحه شرعًا وعقلا وتصدقون بالله تصديقًا جازمًا يؤيده العمل. ولو آمن أهل الكتاب من اليهود والنصارى بمحمد صلى الله عليه وسلم وما جاءهم به من عند الله كما آمنتم، لكان خيرا لهم في الدنيا والآخرة، منهم المؤمنون المصدقون برسالة محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم العاملون بها، وهم قليل، وأكثرهم الخارجون عن دين الله وطاعته.
