M.Pickthall
168. And We have sundered them in the earth as (separate) nations. Some of them are
righteous, and some far from that. And We have tried them with good things and evil
things that haply they might return.
Yusuf Ali
168. We broke them up into sections on this earth. There are among them some that
are the righteous and some that are the opposite. We have tried them with both
prosperity and adversity: in order that they might turn (to us).
M.Pickthall
169. And a generation hath succeeded them who inherited the Scriptures. They grasp
the goods of this low life (as the price of evil doing) and say: It will be forgiven
us. And if there came to them (again) the offer of the like, they would accept it
(and would sin again). Hath not the covenant of the Scripture been taken on their
behalf that they should not speak aught concerning Allah save the truth? And they
have studied that which is therein. And the abode of the Hereafter is better, for
those who ward off (evil). Have ye then no sense?
Yusuf Ali
169. After them succeeded an (evil) generation: they inherited the Book but they
chose (for themselves) the vanities of this world saying (for excuse): "(everything)
will be forgiven us." (Even so) if similar vanities came their way they would (again)
seize them. Was not the covenant of the Book taken from them that they would not
ascribe to Allah anything but the truth? And they study what is in the Book. But
best for the righteous is the home in the hereafter: will ye not understand?
M.Pickthall
170. And as for those who make (men) keep the Scripture, and establish worship lo!
We squander not the wages of reformers.
Yusuf Ali
170. As to those who hold fast by the Book and establish regular prayer; never shall
We suffer the reward of the righteous to perish.
M.Pickthall
171. And when We shook the Mount above them as it were a covering, and they supposed
that it was going to fall upon them (and We said): Hold fast that which We have given
you, and remember that which is therein, that ye may ward off (evil).
Yusuf Ali
171. When We shook the mount over them as if it had been a canopy and they thought it
was going to fall on them (We said): "Hold firmly to what We have given you and bring
(even) to remembrance what is therein; perchance ye may fear Allah."
