Translation

EN

We divided them into twelve tribes or nations. We directed Moses by inspiration, when his (thirsty) people asked him for water: "Strike the rock with thy staff": out of it there gushed forth twelve springs: Each group knew its own place for water. We gave them the shade of clouds, and sent down to them manna and quails, (saying): "Eat of the good things We have provided for you": (but they rebelled); to Us they did no harm, but they harmed their own souls.

A. Yusuf Alipublic-domain

We divided them into twelve tribes [as distinct] communities, and, when his people asked him for water, inspired Moses to strike the rock with his staff [so that] twelve springs gushed out. Each tribe knew its own drinking place; We gave them the shade of clouds and sent down to them manna and quails [saying], ‘Eat the good things We have provided for you.’ They did not wrong Us; it was themselves they wronged.

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

We divided them into twelve tribes, nations; and We inspired Moses, when his people asked him for water, saying: Smite with thy staff the rock! And there gushed forth therefrom twelve springs, so that each tribe knew their drinking-place. And we caused the white cloud to overshadow them and sent down for them the manna and the quails (saying): Eat of the good things wherewith we have provided you. They wronged Us not, but they were wont to wrong themselves.

M. Pickthallpublic-domain

And We divided them into twelve descendant tribes [as distinct] nations. And We inspired to Moses when his people implored him for water, "Strike with your staff the stone," and there gushed forth from it twelve springs. Every people [i.e., tribe] knew its watering place. And We shaded them with clouds and sent down upon them manna and quails, [saying], "Eat from the good things with which We have provided you." And they wronged Us not, but they were [only] wronging themselves.

Biz İsrailoğullarını oymaklar halinde on iki topluluğa ayırdık. Milleti Musa'dan su isteyince ona: "Asanla taşa vur" diye bildirdik; ondan on iki pınar fışkırdı. Herkes içeceği yeri öğrendi. Bulutla üzerlerine gölge yaptık, onlara kudret helvası ve bıldırcın indirdik, "Size verdiğimiz rızıkların temiz olanlarından yiyin" dedik. Onlar, karşı gelmekle, Bize değil kendilerine zulmediyorlardı.

Biz onları oniki kabileye, o kadar ümmete ayırdık. Ve kavmi kendisinden su istediği zaman Musa'ya, elindeki asâ ile taşa vur, diye vahyettik, vurunca hemen o taştan oniki pınar akmaya başladı. Halkın her biri su alacağı yeri iyice öğrendi. Bulutu da üzerlerine gönderdik, gölgeledik. Onlara kudret helvası ve bıldırcın indirdik. Size rızık olarak ihsan ettiğimiz nimetlerin temizinden yiyiniz, dedik. Onlar zulmü bize yapmadılar, lakin kendi kendilerine zulmediyorlardı.

Elmalılı Hamdi Yazırpublic-domain

Biz İsrailoğulları'nı topluluk olarak on iki boya (oymağa) ayırmıştık. Kavmi kendisinden su isteyince, Musa’ya “Asanla taşa vur!” diye vahyetmiştik. Derhal ondan on iki pınar fışkırmıştı. Her kabile de içeceği yeri elbette bilmişti. Kendilerini bulutla gölgelendirip onlara kudret helvası ile bıldırcın eti indirmiş (vermiş),“Size rızık olarak verdiğimiz temiz şeylerden yiyin!” (demiştik). (Emirlerimizi dinlememekle) onlar bize zulmetmemişlerdi; ancak kendilerine yazık etmişlerdi.

وفرَّقنا قوم موسى مِن بني إسرائيل اثنتي عشرة قبيلة بعدد الأسباط -وهم أبناء يعقوب- كل قبيلة معروفة من جهة نقيبها. وأوحينا إلى موسى إذ طلب منه قومه السقيا حين عطشوا في التِّيْه: أن اضرب بعصاك الحجر، فضربه، فانفجرت منه اثنتا عشرة عينًا من الماء، قد علمت كل قبيلة من القبائل الاثنتي عشرة مشربهم، لا تدخل قبيلة على غيرها في شربها، وظلَّلنا عليهم السحاب، وأنزلنا عليهم المنَّ -وهو شيء يشبه الصَّمغ، طعمه كالعسل - والسلوى، وهو طائر يشبه السُّمَانَى، وقلنا لهم: كلوا من طيبات ما رزقناكم، فكرهوا ذلك وملُّوه من طول المداومة عليه، وقالوا: لن نصبر على طعام واحد، وطلبوا استبدال الذي هو أدنى بالذي هو خير. وما ظلمونا حين لم يشكروا لله، ولم يقوموا بما أوجب الله عليهم، ولكن كانوا أنفسهم يظلمون؛ إذ فوَّتوا عليها كل خير، وعرَّضوها للشر والنقمة.
