Waintalaqa almalao minhum ani imshoo waisbiroo ʿala alihatikum inna hatha lashayon yuradu
And the eminent among them went forth, [saying], "Continue, and be patient over [the defense of] your gods. Indeed, this is a thing intended
مَا سَمِعۡنَا بِهَٰذَا فِي ٱلۡمِلَّةِ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا ٱخۡتِلَٰقٌ ﴿٧﴾
Ma samiʿna bihatha fee almillati alakhirati in hatha illa ikhtilaqun
We have not heard of this in the latest religion. This is not but a fabrication
أَءُنزِلَ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلذِّكۡرُ مِنۢ بَيۡنِنَاۚ بَلۡ هُمۡ فِي شَكّٖ مِّن ذِكۡرِيۚ بَل لَّمَّا يَذُوقُواْ عَذَابِ ﴿٨﴾
Aonzila ʿalayhi alththikru min baynina bal hum fee shakkin min thikree bal lamma yathooqoo ʿathabi
Has the message been revealed to him out of [all of] us?" Rather, they are in doubt about My message. Rather, they have not yet tasted My punishment
أَمۡ عِندَهُمۡ خَزَآئِنُ رَحۡمَةِ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡعَزِيزِ ٱلۡوَهَّابِ ﴿٩﴾
Am ʿindahum khazainu rahmati rabbika alʿazeezi alwahhabi
Or do they have the depositories of the mercy of your Lord, the Exalted in Might, the Bestower
أَمۡ لَهُم مُّلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَاۖ فَلۡيَرۡتَقُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَسۡبَٰبِ ﴿١٠﴾
Am lahum mulku alssamawati waalardi wama baynahuma falyartaqoo fee alasbabi
Or is theirs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and what is between them? Then let them ascend through [any] ways of access
جُندٞ مَّا هُنَالِكَ مَهۡزُومٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَحۡزَابِ ﴿١١﴾

In kullun illa kaththaba alrrusula fahaqqa ʿiqabi
Each of them denied the messengers, so My penalty was justified
وَمَا يَنظُرُ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ إِلَّا صَيۡحَةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗ مَّا لَهَا مِن فَوَاقٖ ﴿١٥﴾
Wama yanthuru haolai illa sayhatan wahidatan ma laha min fawaqin
And these [disbelievers] await not but one blast [of the Horn]; for it there will be no delay
وَقَالُواْ رَبَّنَا عَجِّل لَّنَا قِطَّنَا قَبۡلَ يَوۡمِ ٱلۡحِسَابِ ﴿١٦﴾
Waqaloo rabbana ʿajjil lana qittana qabla yawmi alhisabi
And they say, "Our Lord, hasten for us our share [of the punishment] before the Day of Account
ٱصۡبِرۡ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَٱذۡكُرۡ عَبۡدَنَا دَاوُۥدَ ذَا ٱلۡأَيۡدِۖ إِنَّهُۥٓ أَوَّابٌ ﴿١٧﴾
Isbir ʿala ma yaqooloona waothkur ʿabdana dawooda tha alaydi innahu awwabun
Be patient over what they say and remember Our servant, David, the possessor of strength; indeed, he was one who repeatedly turned back [to Allah]

Washadadna mulkahu waataynahu alhikmata wafasla alkhitabi
And We strengthened his kingdom and gave him wisdom and discernment in speech
۞وَهَلۡ أَتَىٰكَ نَبَؤُاْ ٱلۡخَصۡمِ إِذۡ تَسَوَّرُواْ ٱلۡمِحۡرَابَ ﴿٢١﴾
Wahal ataka nabao alkhasmi ith tasawwaroo almihraba
And has there come to you the news of the adversaries, when they climbed over the wall of [his] prayer chamber
إِذۡ دَخَلُواْ عَلَىٰ دَاوُۥدَ فَفَزِعَ مِنۡهُمۡۖ قَالُواْ لَا تَخَفۡۖ خَصۡمَانِ بَغَىٰ بَعۡضُنَا عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٖ فَٱحۡكُم بَيۡنَنَا بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَلَا تُشۡطِطۡ وَٱهۡدِنَآ إِلَىٰ سَوَآءِ ٱلصِّرَٰطِ ﴿٢٢﴾
Ith dakhaloo ʿala dawooda fafaziʿa minhum qaloo la takhaf khasmani bagha baʿduna ʿala baʿdin faohkum baynana bialhaqqi wala tushtit waihdina ila sawai alssirati
When they entered upon David and he was alarmed by them? They said, "Fear not. [We are] two adversaries, one of whom has wronged the other, so judge between us with truth and do not exceed [it] and guide us to the sound path
إِنَّ هَٰذَآ أَخِي لَهُۥ تِسۡعٞ وَتِسۡعُونَ نَعۡجَةٗ وَلِيَ نَعۡجَةٞ وَٰحِدَةٞ فَقَالَ أَكۡفِلۡنِيهَا وَعَزَّنِي فِي ٱلۡخِطَابِ ﴿٢٣﴾
Inna hatha akhee lahu tisʿun watisʿoona naʿjatan waliya naʿjatun wahidatun faqala akfilneeha waʿazzanee fee alkhitabi
Indeed this, my brother, has ninety-nine ewes, and I have one ewe; so he said, 'Entrust her to me,' and he overpowered me in speech
قَالَ لَقَدۡ ظَلَمَكَ بِسُؤَالِ نَعۡجَتِكَ إِلَىٰ نِعَاجِهِۦۖ وَإِنَّ كَثِيرٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡخُلَطَآءِ لَيَبۡغِي بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٍ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَٰتِ وَقَلِيلٞ مَّا هُمۡۗ وَظَنَّ دَاوُۥدُ أَنَّمَا فَتَنَّـٰهُ فَٱسۡتَغۡفَرَ رَبَّهُۥ وَخَرَّۤ رَاكِعٗاۤ وَأَنَابَ۩ ﴿٢٤﴾
Qala laqad thalamaka bisuali naʿjatika ila niʿajihi wainna katheeran mina alkhulatai layabghee baʿduhum ʿala baʿdin illa allatheena amanoo waʿamiloo alssalihati waqaleelun ma hum wathanna dawoodu annama fatannahu faistaghfara rabbahu wakharra rakiʿan waanaba
[David] said, "He has certainly wronged you in demanding your ewe [in addition] to his ewes. And indeed, many associates oppress one another, except for those who believe and do righteous deeds - and few are they." And David became certain that We had tried him, and he asked forgiveness of his Lord and fell down bowing [in prostration] and turned in repentance [to Allah]
فَغَفَرۡنَا لَهُۥ ذَٰلِكَۖ وَإِنَّ لَهُۥ عِندَنَا لَزُلۡفَىٰ وَحُسۡنَ مَـَٔابٖ ﴿٢٥﴾
Faghafarna lahu thalika wainna lahu ʿindana lazulfa wahusna maabin
So We forgave him that; and indeed, for him is nearness to Us and a good place of return
يَٰدَاوُۥدُ إِنَّا جَعَلۡنَٰكَ خَلِيفَةٗ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَٱحۡكُم بَيۡنَ ٱلنَّاسِ بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَلَا تَتَّبِعِ ٱلۡهَوَىٰ فَيُضِلَّكَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِۚ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَضِلُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ لَهُمۡ عَذَابٞ شَدِيدُۢ بِمَا نَسُواْ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡحِسَابِ ﴿٢٦﴾
Ya dawoodu inna jaʿalnaka khaleefatan fee alardi faohkum bayna alnnasi bialhaqqi wala tattabiʿi alhawa fayudillaka ʿan sabeeli Allahi inna allatheena yadilloona ʿan sabeeli Allahi lahum ʿathabun shadeedun bima nasoo yawma alhisabi
[We said], "O David, indeed We have made you a successor upon the earth, so judge between the people in truth and do not follow [your own] desire, as it will lead you astray from the way of Allah." Indeed, those who go astray from the way of Allah will have a severe punishment for having forgotten the Day of Account
وَمَا خَلَقۡنَا ٱلسَّمَآءَ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا بَٰطِلٗاۚ ذَٰلِكَ ظَنُّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْۚ فَوَيۡلٞ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِنَ ٱلنَّارِ ﴿٢٧﴾
Wama khalaqna alssamaa waalarda wama baynahuma batilan thalika thannu allatheena kafaroo fawaylun lillatheena kafaroo mina alnnari
And We did not create the heaven and the earth and that between them aimlessly. That is the assumption of those who disbelieve, so woe to those who disbelieve from the Fire
أَمۡ نَجۡعَلُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَٰتِ كَٱلۡمُفۡسِدِينَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ أَمۡ نَجۡعَلُ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ كَٱلۡفُجَّارِ ﴿٢٨﴾
Am najʿalu allatheena amanoo waʿamiloo alssalihati kaalmufsideena fee alardi am najʿalu almuttaqeena kaalfujjari
Or should we treat those who believe and do righteous deeds like corrupters in the land? Or should We treat those who fear Allah like the wicked
كِتَٰبٌ أَنزَلۡنَٰهُ إِلَيۡكَ مُبَٰرَكٞ لِّيَدَّبَّرُوٓاْ ءَايَٰتِهِۦ وَلِيَتَذَكَّرَ أُوْلُواْ ٱلۡأَلۡبَٰبِ ﴿٢٩﴾

Faqala innee ahbabtu hubba alkhayri ʿan thikri rabbee hatta tawarat bialhijabi
And he said, "Indeed, I gave preference to the love of good [things] over the remembrance of my Lord until the sun disappeared into the curtain [of darkness]

Ruddooha ʿalayya fatafiqa mashan bialssooqi waalaʿnaqi
[He said], "Return them to me," and set about striking [their] legs and necks
