M.Pickthall
44. Seest thou not those unto whom a portion of the Scripture hath been given, how
they purchase error, and seek to make you (Muslims) err from the right way?
Yusuf Ali
44. Hast thou not turned thy vision to those who were given a portion of the Book?
They traffic in error and wish that ye should lose the right path.
M.Pickthall
45. Allah knoweth best (who are) your enemies. Allah is sufficient as a Friend, and
Allah is sufficient as a Helper.
Yusuf Ali
45. But Allah hath full knowledge of your enemies: Allah is enough for a protector
and Allah is enough for a Helper.
M.Pickthall
46. Some of those who are Jews change words from their context and say: "We hear and
disobey; hear thou as one who heareth not" and "Listen to us!" distorting with their
tongues and slandering religion. If they had said: "We hear and we obey; hear thou,
and look at us" it had been better for them, and more upright. But Allah hath cursed
them for their disbelief, so they believe not, save a few.
Yusuf Ali
46. Of the Jews there are those who displace words from their (right) places and say:
"We hear and we disobey"; and "Hear what is not heard": and "Ra`ina"; with a twist of
their tongues and a slander to faith. If only they had said: "We hear and we obey";
and "Do hear"; and "Do look at us": it would have been better for them and more
proper; but Allah hath cursed them for their unbelief; and but few of them will believe.
M.Pickthall
47. O ye unto whom the Scripture hath been given! Believe in what We have revealed
concerning that which ye possess, before We destroy countenances so as to confound
them, or curse them as We cursed the Sabbath breakers (of old time). The commandment
of Allah is always executed.
Yusuf Ali
47. O ye people of the Book! believe in what We have (now) revealed confirming what
was (already) with you before We change the face and fame of some (of you) beyond all
recognition and turn them hindwards or curse them as We cursed the Sabbath-breakers:
for the decision of Allah must be carried out.
M.Pickthall
48. Lo! Allah forgiveth not that a partner should be ascribed unto Him. He forgiveth
(all) save that to whom He will. Whoso ascribeth partners to Allah, he hath indeed
invented a tremendous sin.
Yusuf Ali
48. Allah forgiveth not that partners should be set up with him; but He forgiveth
anything else to whom He pleaseth; to set up partners with Allah is to devise a sin
most heinous indeed.
M.Pickthall
49. Hast thou not seen those who praise themselves for purity? Nay, Allah purifieth
whom He will, and they will not be wronged even the hair upon a date stone.
Yusuf Ali
49. Hast thou not turned thy vision to those who claim sanctity for themselves? Nay
but Allah doth sanctify whom He pleaseth but never will they fail to receive justice
in the least little thing.
M.Pickthall
50. See, how they invent lies about Allah! That of itself is flagrant sin.
Yusuf Ali
50. Behold! how they invent a lie against Allah! but that by itself is a manifest sin!.
