English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

Now, if you do well, you will do well for your own souls; and if you do evil, it will only go against them. So when the time for the latter warning came, We raised a people against you to cover your faces with grief, and to enter the Mosque as they entered it the first time, and to destroy all that they conquered with utter destruction.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اگر تم اچھے اعمال بجالاؤ تو اپنی خاطر ہی اچھے اعمال بجالاؤگے۔ اور اگر تم بُرا کرو تو خود اپنے لئے ہی بُرا کروگے۔ پس جب آخرت والا وعدہ آئے گا (تب بھی یہی مقدر ہے) کہ وہ تمہارے چہرے بگاڑ دیں اور وہ مسجد میں اسی طرح داخل ہو جائیں جیسا کہ پہلی مرتبہ داخل ہوئے تھے اور تاکہ وہ جس پر غلبہ پائیں اُسے تہس نہس کردیں۔

French

Si vous faites le bien, vous le faites pour votre propre âme, et si vous faites le mal c’est à son détriment. Alors, lorsque arrivera l’heure promise des derniers jours, ceci aussi est décrété que vos ennemis déshonorent vos visages et pénètrent dans la mosquée tout comme ils y pénétrèrent la première fois et qu’ils détruisent complètement tout ce qu’ils auront conquis.

German

(Nun) wenn ihr Gutes tut, so tut ihr Gutes für euren eigenen Seelen; und wenn ihr Böses tut, so ist es gegen sie. Als nun die Zeit für die zweite Warnung kam (sandten Wir Diener), damit sie euren Großen Unbill antaten und die Moschee beträten, wie sie sie das erste Mal betreten hatten, und alles, was sie erobert hatten, bis auf den Grund zerstörten.

Chinese

(听着!) [a]如果你们行善, 那善功将对你们自己是有益处的; 如果你们做恶, 那 (恶事) 也将贻害你们自己。当第二次诺言 (实现)时, (我升起一个民族来反对你们,) 他们使你们面色悲痛, 他们进入礼拜寺, 像他们第一次进入里面, 并完全毁坏他们所征服的一切东西。[701]

Italian

Ora, se vi comporterete bene, lo farete per le vostre stesse anime; e se vi comporterete male lo farete a vostro danno. Così, quando venne la promessa degli ultimi giorni essi vi portarono alla vergogna ed entrarono nella moschea come vi erano entrati la prima volta e distrussero completamente tutto quello che avevano conquistato.

Spanish

Si actuáis bien, lo haréis para beneficio de vuestras propias almas; pero si actuáis mal, lo haréis en perjuicio de ellas. Por ello, cuando llegue la hora prometida de los últimos días, intentarán causaros aflicción, y entrar en la mezquita como entraron en ella la primera vez: destruyendo todo cuanto habían conquistado con la más completa destrucción.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

(سنو)! اگر تم نیکو کار بنو گے تو نیکو کار بن کر اپنی جانوں کو ہی فائدہ پہنچاؤ گے‘ اور اگر تم بُرے اعمال کرو گے تو (بھی) ان (یعنی اپنی جانوں) کے لئے (بُرا کرو گے) پھر جب دوسری بار[3] والا وعدہ (پورا ہونے کا وقت) آگیا‘ تا کہ وہ (یعنی تمہارے دشمن) تمہارے معزز لوگوں سے ناپسندیدہ معاملہ کریں اور (اسی طرح) مسجد میں داخل ہوں جس طرح وہ اس میں پہلی بار داخل ہوئے تھے اور جس چیز پر غلبہ پائیں اُسے بالکل تباہ (اور برباد) کرکے رکھ دیں (تو یہ بات بھی پوری ہوگئی)

Now, [a]if you do good, you will do good for your own souls; and if you do evil, it will be to your own loss. So when the time for the fulfilment of the latter warning came, We raised a people against you that they might cover your faces with grief,[1594A] and that they enter the Mosque, as they entered it the first time, and that they might destroy utterly all that they conquered.[1595]

Commentary:

This verse speaks of the Jews’ second relapse into iniquitous and evil ways and of the punishment which befell them in consequence. They persecuted Jesus and sought to kill him on the cross and stamp out his Movement. So God afflicted them with a terrible punishment when in 70 A. D. the Roman forces under Titus swept the country and, amid circumstances of unparalleled horror, Jerusalem was destroyed and the Temple of Solomon was burnt down (Enc. Bib., under Jerusalem). This disaster took place when Jesus was yet living in Kashmir. It was also foretold by Moses. The Bible says:

Of the rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee. And when the Lord saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters. And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very forward generation, children in whom is no faith. They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation. For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains. I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them. They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust. The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of grey hair. I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among them (Deut. 32:18-26).

It may be noted here that this prophecy about the second punishment is mentioned in the Bible after the prophecy which spoke of the first punishment (Deut. 28). More than that, it is mentioned even after the prophecy which speaks of the return of the Jews to Jerusalem (Deut. 30:1-5). This shows that this prophecy (Deut. 32:18-26) refers to the second punishment, to which reference has been made in the words of the Quran, in v. 5, viz. You will surely do mischief in the land twice.

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

دیکھو! تم نے بھلائی کی تو وہ تمہارے اپنے ہی لیے بھلائی تھی، اور برائی کی تو وہ تمہاری اپنی ذات کے لیے برائی ثابت ہوئی پھر جب دوسرے وعدے کا وقت آیا تو ہم نے دوسرے دشمنوں کو تم پر مسلط کیا تاکہ وہ تمہارے چہرے بگاڑ دیں اور مسجد (بیت المقدس) میں اُسی طرح گھس جائیں جس طرح پہلے دشمن گھسے تھے اور جس چیز پر ان کا ہاتھ پڑے اُسے تباہ کر کے رکھ دیں

English - Sahih

[And said], "If you do good, you do good for yourselves; and if you do evil, [you do it] to yourselves." Then when the final promise came, [We sent your enemies] to sadden your faces and to enter the temple in Jerusalem, as they entered it the first time, and to destroy what they had taken over with [total] destruction.

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

اگر تم نے بھلائی کی تو اپنے ہی لیےکی اور اگر برائی کی تو وہ بھی اپنے ہی لیےکی پھر جب دوسرا وعدہ آیا تاکہ تمہارے چہروں پر رسوائی پھیر دیں اور مسجد میں گھس جائیں جس طرح پہلی بار گھس گئے تھے اور جس چیز پر قابو پائیں اس کا ستیاناس کر دیں

English - Talal Itani

If you do good, you do good for yourselves; and if you do evil, then it is for it. So when came promise the last, to sadden your faces and to enter the Masjid just as they (had) entered it first time, and to destroy what they had conquered (with) destruction.

这节经文谈到犹太人再次堕落到邪恶的行为中去以及他们因此而受到的惩罚。他们迫害伊撒并且竭力想把他钉死在十字架上来消灭他的运动。因此安拉用极可怕的惩罚来折磨他们。公元70年, 台塔斯的罗马军队扫平了这个国家, 并且在无可比拟的恐怖下毁灭了耶路撒冷, 烧掉了素莱曼寺 (《圣经百科全书》“Jerusalem”项下)。这一大灾难发生在耶稣还在克什米尔的时候。穆撒也预言了这件事情 (申命记. 32:18-26)。这里可以注意的是, 有关第二次惩罚的预言在 «圣经» 中是在谈及第一次惩罚的预言之后谈到的。(申命记. 28章) 而且, 甚至在谈及犹太人回到耶路撒冷的预言之后谈到这一预言 (申命记. 30:1-5)。这说明, 述及第二次惩罚的这一预言 (申命记. 32:18-26), 在 «古兰经» 中已提到了, 即 “你们必将在这个国家时制造两次混乱。” (17:5) 这节经文意含对穆斯林的一次警告, 如果他们不戒除恶习, 也会像犹太人那样受到第二次惩罚。但是他们并未从及时的警告中受益, 没有戒除恶习而受到第二次惩罚。第一次处罚他们是巴格达在公元1258年陷落。野蛮的哈拉库 (Halaku) 游牧部落完全毁灭了这一伟大的学识和权力所在地, 据说有一百八十万穆斯林被杀死。不过, 伊斯兰教在那一可怕的大灾难中却胜利出现在人间。胜利者变成被征服者。哈拉库 (Halaku) 的孙子连同大批蒙古族和鞑靼族人接受了伊斯兰教。第二次惩罚判定在后期降临在他们头上。

اس تباہی کے دوسرے وعدہ سے مراد روم کے شہزادہ ٹائٹس کا حملہ ہے جس نے اس لئے فلسطین پر حملہ کیا کہ اسے بتایا گیا تھا کہ یہودی رومی حکومت سے بغاوت کرنے والے ہیں۔ یہ واقعہ ۷۰ء بعد مسیح کا ہے۔ (دیکھو انسا ئیکلوپیڈیا برٹینیکا زیر لفظ جیوز اور ہسٹورینز ہسٹری آف دی ورلڈ) اس وقت ٹائٹس نے بیت المقدس کی سخت ہتک کی تھی اور مسجد میں سؤر کی قربانی کی تھی۔

'If you do good, it is your own souls you do good to, and if you do evil it is to them likewise.' Then, when the promise of the second came to pass, We sent against you Our servants to discountenance you, and to enter the Temple, as they entered it the first time, and to destroy utterly that which they ascended to.

English - Maududi

Whenever you did good, it was to your own advantage; and whenever you committed evil, it was to your own disadvantage. So, when the time of the fulfilment of the second promise arrived, (We raised other enemies that would) disfigure your faces and enter the Temple (of Jerusalem) as they had entered the first time, and destroy whatever they could lay their hands on.

English - Ahmed Ali

"If you do good, you will do so for your own good; if you do ill, you will do it for your own loss." So, when the time of the second prediction comes, (We shall rouse another people) to shame you, and enter the Temple as they had done the first time, and to destroy what they conquered utterly.

English - Yusuf Ali

If ye did well, ye did well for yourselves; if ye did evil, (ye did it) against yourselves. So when the second of the warnings came to pass, (We permitted your enemies) to disfigure your faces, and to enter your Temple as they had entered it before, and to visit with destruction all that fell into their power.
