فَلَمَّا فَصَلَ طَالُوْتُ بِالْجُـنُوْدِ۝۰ۙ قَالَ اِنَّ اللہَ مُبْتَلِيْكُمْ بِنَہَرٍ۝۰ۚ فَمَنْ شَرِبَ مِنْہُ فَلَيْسَ مِنِّىْ۝۰ۚ وَمَنْ لَّمْ يَطْعَمْہُ فَاِنَّہٗ مِنِّىْۗ اِلَّا مَنِ اغْتَرَفَ غُرْفَۃًۢ بِيَدِہٖ۝۰ۚ فَشَرِبُوْا مِنْہُ اِلَّا قَلِيْلًا مِّنْہُمْ۝۰ۭ فَلَمَّا جَاوَزَہٗ ھُوَوَالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مَعَہٗ۝۰ۙ قَالُوْا لَا طَاقَۃَ لَنَا الْيَوْمَ بِجَالُوْتَ وَجُنُوْدِہٖ۝۰ۭ قَالَ الَّذِيْنَ يَظُنُّوْنَ اَنَّہُمْ مُّلٰقُوا اؘ۝۰ۙ كَمْ مِّنْ فِئَۃٍ قَلِيْلَۃٍ غَلَبَتْ فِئَۃً كَثِيْرَۃًۢ بِـاِذْنِ اؘ۝۰ۭ وَاللہُ مَعَ الصّٰبِرِيْنَ۝۲۴۹

Ahmed Ali

When Saul led his armies, he said: "God will test you by a stream. Whoever drinks its water will not be of me; but those who do not drink shall be on my side. The only exception will be those who scoop up a palmful of water with their hands." And but for a few they all drank of its water. When they had crossed it, and those who believed with him, they said: "We have no strength to combat Goliath and his forces today. But those who believed they have to face their Lord, said: "Many a time has a small band defeated a large horde by the will of God. God is with those who are patient (and persevere)."

249

وَلَمَّا بَرَزُوْا لِجَالُوْتَ وَجُنُوْدِہٖ قَالُوْا رَبَّنَاۗ اَفْرِغْ عَلَيْنَا صَبْرًا وَّثَبِّتْ اَقْدَامَنَا وَانْصُرْنَا عَلَي الْقَوْمِ الْكٰفِرِيْنَ۝۲۵۰ۭ
Walamma barazoo lijaloota wajunoodihi qaloo rabbana afrigh AAalayna sabran wathabbit aqdamana waonsurna AAala alqawmi alkafireena

Ahmed Ali

And when they were facing Goliath and his hordes they prayed: "O Lord, give us endurance and steady our steps, and help us against the deniers of truth."

250

فَہَزَمُوْھُمْ بِـاِذْنِ اؘ۝۰ۣۙ وَقَتَلَ دَاوٗدُ جَالُوْتَ وَاٰتٰىہُ اللہُ الْمُلْكَ وَالْحِكْمَۃَ وَعَلَّمَہٗ مِمَّا يَشَاۗءُ۝۰ۭ وَلَوْ لَا دَفْعُ اللہِ النَّاسَ بَعْضَہُمْ بِبَعْضٍ۝۰ۙ لَّفَسَدَتِ الْاَرْضُ وَلٰكِنَّ اللہَ ذُوْ فَضْلٍ عَلَي الْعٰلَمِيْنَ۝۲۵۱

English

Ahmed Ali

By the will of God they defeated them, and David killed Goliath, and God gave him kingship and wisdom, and taught him whatsoever He pleased. If God did not make men deter one another this earth would indeed be depraved. But gracious is God to the people of the world.

251

تِلْكَ اٰيٰتُ اللہِ نَتْلُوْھَا عَلَيْكَ بِالْحَقِّ۝۰ۭ وَاِنَّكَ لَمِنَ الْمُرْسَلِيْنَ۝۲۵۲

Ahmed Ali

These are the messages of God. We recite them to you in all truth, as indeed you are one of the apostles.

252

تِلْكَ الرُّسُلُ فَضَّلْنَا بَعْضَھُمْ عَلٰي بَعْضٍ۝۰ۘ مِنْھُمْ مَّنْ كَلَّمَ اللہُ وَرَفَعَ بَعْضَھُمْ دَرَجٰتٍ۝۰ۭ وَاٰتَيْنَا عِيْسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ الْبَيِّنٰتِ وَاَيَّدْنٰہُ بِرُوْحِ الْقُدُسِ۝۰ۭ وَلَوْ شَاۗءَ اللہُ مَا اقْتَتَلَ الَّذِيْنَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِھِمْ مِّنْۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَاۗءَتْھُمُ الْبَيِّنٰتُ وَلٰكِنِ اخْتَلَفُوْا فَمِنْھُمْ مَّنْ اٰمَنَ وَمِنْھُمْ مَّنْ كَفَرَ۝۰ۭ وَلَوْ شَاۗءَ اللہُ مَا اقْتَتَلُوْا۝۰ۣ وَلٰكِنَّ اللہَ يَفْعَلُ مَا يُرِيْدُ۝۲۵۳ۧ

Ahmed Ali

Of all these apostles We have favoured some over the others. God has addressed some of them, and the stations of some have been exalted over the others. And to Jesus, son of Mary, We gave tokens, and reinforced him with divine grace. If God had so willed those who came after them would never have contended when clear signs had come to them. But dissensions arose, some believed, some denied. And if God had willed they would never have fought among themselves. But God does whatsoever He please.
