And remember when Jesus, son of Mary, said, ‘O children of Israel, surely I am Allah’s Messenger unto you, fulfilling that which is before me of the Torah, and giving glad tidings of a Messenger who will come after me. His name will be Ahmad.’ And when he came to them with clear proofs, they said, ‘This is clear enchantment.’

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اور (یاد کرو) جب عیسیٰ بن مریم نے کہا اے بنی اسرائیل! یقیناً میں تمہاری طرف اللہ کا رسول ہوں۔ اس کی تصدیق کرتے ہوئے آیا ہوں جو تورات میں سے میرے سامنے ہے اور ایک عظیم رسول کی خوشخبری دیتے ہوئے جو میرے بعد آئے گا جس کا نام احمد ہوگا۔ پس جب وہ کھلے نشانوں کے ساتھ ان کے پاس آیا تو انہوں نے کہا یہ تو ایک کھلا کھلا جادو ہے۔

French

Et souvenez-vous quand Jésus, fils de Marie, dit : « Ô Enfants d’Israël, assurément je suis pour vous le Messager d’Allāh, accomplissant ce qui a été mentionné dans la Torah avant moi, et annonçant la bonne nouvelle d’un Messager qui viendra après moi. Son nom sera Ahmad. » Et lorsqu’il vint à eux avec des preuves évidentes, ils dirent : « Ceci est de la magie manifeste. »

German

Und (gedenke der Zeit) da Jesus, Sohn der Maria, sprach: "O ihr Kinder Israels, ich bin Allahs Gesandter an euch, Erfüller dessen, was von der Thora vor mir ist, und Bringer der frohen Botschaft von einem Gesandten, der nach mir kommen wird. Sein Name wird Ahmad* sein." Und als er zu ihnen kam mit deutlichen Zeichen, sprachen sie: "Das ist offenkundiger Betrug."

Chinese

(要记住:) 当玛尔彦之子, 伊撒说: “伊色列的子孙啊!我确是安拉差给你们的使者, 我证实在我来之前, «旧约» (Torah) 中所陈述的 (预言), 并传达在我之后的一位使者, 名叫阿哈默德者[1419]将要来的喜讯。” 当他带着明证来到他们那里时, 他们竟说: “这是明显的[a]魔术。”

27:14; 43:31.

关于伊撒对辩护人即安慰者亦即真理的精神的预言, 见 «圣经» 约翰12:13; 14:16—17; 15:26; 16:7, 由此可以清楚地推断出以下的结论:--------(a) 辩护人--------安慰者、真理的精神--------要等到伊撒去世之后才能出现; (b) 他永远留在人间;他打算说的很多事情是伊撒自己没法说的, 因为当时大家没法接受; (c) 他将引导人们得到所有的真理; (d) 他不会谈自己的, 但凡是他听到的, 他都会说; (e) 他将赞美伊撒(耶稣)并证实他的真理。这样描写辩护人--------安慰者、真理的精神--------像
«古兰经» 中的记载一样, 与穆圣的地位和使命完全一致。伊撒 (耶稣) 去世后才出现穆圣;他是最后一个立法先知, «古兰经»是全人类世世代代的最后启示的天经 (5:4)。他不从私欲发言, “这 (他所讲的话) 只是安拉下降的 (纯洁) 启示” (53:4)。他赞美伊撒 (耶稣) (2:254; 3:56)。«约翰福音» 中的预言与加注的这节经文中所提到的预言十分相像, 只是不用这儿提到的阿哈默德这个名字, 而用 “辩护人”。基督教作者怀疑 «古兰经» 上解说这个预言的正确性, 争论的基础是这两个名字的不同, 却不顾 «圣经»和 «古兰经»其他相同的地方。事实上耶稣既会阿拉米语也会希伯来语。阿拉米语是他的母语, 希伯来语是他的宗教语。现在的
«圣经» 是由阿拉米语和希伯来语译成的希腊语的译本。翻译当然不能充分传达原文的美。语言有其局限。用这种语言的人亦然。他们的局限性反映在他们的作品中。希腊语中还有一个名字叫做 Periklutos, 意思相似于阿拉伯语的 اَحْمَد (Ahmad, 阿哈默德)。著名基督教宗教学家贾克•范根 (Jack Finegan), 在他的 “The Archaeology of World Religions” 一书中说: “在希腊语中 Parakletos (安慰者) 这个字和 Periklutos (著名的) 很相似, 后者就是名词 اَحْمَد (Ahmad, 阿哈默德) 和 مُحَمَّد (Muhammad, 穆罕默德) 的意思。” 还有, 接近19世纪末在旧开罗的以斯拉犹太教之会堂中发现了经文 “The Damascus Document” (P.2), 里面说到伊撒 (耶稣) 曾预言一个名叫 Emeth 的 “圣灵”: “他借着他的迈喜合使他们知道他的圣灵。因为这个人就是 Emeth, 即真实的一位, 与他的名字相一致的还有他们的名字……” 在希伯来语中 “Emeth” 的意思是 “真理”, 或 “真实的一位, 一个永远善良的人”。(Strachan’s Fourth Gospel, p.141) 这个字犹太人译作 “安拉的玺”。自然地, 即使伊撒一定用过阿哈默德这个名字, 但是这两个字 (阿哈默德和Emeth) 语音相似, 使后来作者们用 “Emeth” 取代了它的希伯来语的同义词阿哈默德。因此这节经文中提到的预言可以用于穆圣, 可是作为必然的结果, 也可以用于 اَحْمَدِيَّة (Ahmadiyyah) 创始人受约的迈喜合, 因为他在真主启示 بَرَاهِيْن اَحْمَدِيَّة (Barahin Ahmadiyyah) 中也称作阿哈默德, 还因为穆圣的第二次显现或第二次来临的预言在他身上实现了。主麻 (الجُمُعَة, Al-Jumu‘ah) 章第三节经文显然是指穆圣的第二次显现或来临。可以顺便提一句, 有关穆圣的预言也在被基督教会教派当作伪经的《巴拿巴福音》 (Barnabas), 这一福音中作了清楚的叙述。但还是可以像 «四福音书» 一样, 被认为是真的而加以承认。

Italian

E ricordati di quando Gesù, figlio di Maria, disse: «O figli d'Israele, per certo, io sono il messaggero di Allah per voi, che porta a compimento quello che c'è stato prima di me di profezie nella Torah, e che dà buone notizie di un messaggero che verrà dopo di me, il cui nome sarà Ahmad.» E quando egli si recò da loro con prove evidenti, quelli dissero: «È una stregoneria manifesta.»

Spanish

Y acordaos de cuando Jesús, hijo de María, dijo: “Oh hijos de Israel, en verdad soy un Mensajero de Al-lah para vosotros, que cumple lo que se mencionaba en la Torah antes de mí y os da la buena nueva de un Mensajero que aparecerá después de mí. Su nombre será Ahmad”. Mas cuando llegó a ellos con pruebas evidentes, dijeron: “Es un encantamiento manifiesto”.

اور (یاد کرو) جب عیسیٰ ابن مریم نے اپنی قوم سے کہا کہ اے بنی اسرائیل! میں اللہ کی طرف سے تمہاری طرف رسول ہو کر آیا ہوں‘ جو (کلام) میرے آنے سے پہلے نازل ہو چکا ہے یعنی تورات‘ اس کی پیشگوئیوں کو میں پورا کرتا ہوں اور ایک ایسے رسول کی بھی خبر دیتا ہوں جو میرے بعد آئے گا جس کا نام احمد[1] ہوگا۔ پھر جب وہ رسول دلائل لیکر آگیا‘ تو انہوں نے کہا یہ تو کھلا کھلا فریب ہے۔

English - Short Commentary Translation

And call to mind when Jesus, son of Mary, said, ‘O Children of Israel, surely, I am Allah’s Messenger unto you, fulfilling that which is before me of the prophecies of the Torah, and giving glad tidings of a Messenger who will come after me, his name being Ahmad.[3037] And when he came to them with clear proofs, they said, ‘This is manifest [a]sorcery.’

English - Five Volume Translation

And remember when Jesus, son of Mary, said, ‘O children of Israel, surely I am Allah’s Messenger unto you, fulfilling that which is before me of the Torah, and giving glad tidings of a Messenger who will come after me; his name being Ahmad.’ And when he came to them with clear proofs,[a] they said, ‘This is manifest sorcery.’[4226]

27:14; 43:31.

Important Words:

أحمد (Ahmad) is derived from حمد and حمدہ means, he praised, eulogised or commended him; spoke well of him; he requited him; he gave him his due. أحمد (Ahmada) means, he did or said that for which he should be praised or which was praiseworthy. أحمد الشیء means, the thing was or became praiseworthy. أحمد means, one who praises much or who is praised much or most (Lane & Taj).

Commentary:

The prophecy of Jesus about the coming of Paraclete or the Comforter or the Spirit of Truth as given in the Gospels is as follows:

I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever. Even the Spirit of Truth whom the world cannot receive because it sees him not, neither knoweth him… but when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of Truth which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me… for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you, but if I depart, I will send him unto you… I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when the Spirit of Truth is come, he will guide you unto all truth, for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak, and he will show you things to come… He shall glorify me (John 14: 16-17. 15: 26; 16: 7, 12-14).

From these verses of the Gospel of John the following inferences are clearly deducible:

(1) That Paraclete or the Comforter or the Spirit of Truth could not come unless Jesus should have departed from the world.

(2) That the Comforter was to abide in the world for ever.

(3) That he was to say many things which Jesus himself could not tell because the world could not then bear them.

(4) That he would guide men unto all truth.

(5) That he would not speak of himself, but whatever he would hear that would he speak.

(6) That the Comforter would glorify Jesus and testify of him.

This description of Paraclete or the Comforter or the Spirit of Truth is in complete harmony with the status and mission of the Holy Prophet as given in the Quran:

(1) The Holy Prophet appeared after Jesus had departed from this world.

(2) He is the last Law-giving Prophet and the Quran the last revealed Divine Law for the whole of mankind till the end of time (5:4).

(3) Jesus could not guide mankind to all truth because his Message was meant only for a particular people and for a particular period. And the Law as amended and given to the Jews by him was not and could not be a complete and perfect Law because they had not yet mentally and morally so developed as to be the bearers of a complete Shari‘ah and the world had to wait till it was given a perfect Law in the form of the Quran (5:4) and a Prophet par excellence i.e. the Holy Prophet who could guide all mankind.

(4) The Holy Prophet gave to the world a Law complete in all its details which alone could guide mankind unto all truth (5:4).

(5) The Holy Prophet did not speak of himself but whatever he heard from God that did he speak (53:4).

(6) The Holy Prophet glorified Jesus (2:254; 3:56).

The prophecy in the Gospel of John resembles the prophecy mentioned in the verse under comment except that instead of Ahmad the name stated therein is Paraclete. Christian writers challenge the correctness of the Quranic version of the prophecy, basing their contention on this difference of names, irrespective of the otherwise similar features of Biblical & Quranic versions.

In fact, Jesus spoke Aramaic and Hebrew. Aramaic was his mother tongue and Hebrew his religious language. The present Biblical version is the translation of Aramaic and Hebrew into Greek.

A translation naturally cannot fully convey the beauty of the text. Languages have their limitations. The same is true of the people who speak them. Their limitations are reflected in their works. The Greek language has another word, i.e.Periklutos, with a similar meaning as Ahmad in Arabic. Jack Finegan, the renowned theologian, in his book, "The Archaeology of World Religions," says:

"Where in Greek the word Comforter (Parakletos) is very similar to the word for 'renowned' (Periklutos), the latter being the meaning of the names Ahmad & Muhammad."

Moreover, "The Damascus Document" a scripture discovered towards the end of the nineteenth century in Ezra synagogue, Old Cairo (p. 2. lines 12, 13) describes Jesus as having foretold the advent of a "Holy Spirit," named Emeth.

ویود یعیم بید مشیحو روح قد شو و ھوا ایمة و بفروش

شمو شمو تیھم

i.e. And by His Messiah, He has made them know His Holy Spirit. For it is He who is Emeth i.e. “The Truthful One”, and in accordance with His name are also theirs.

"Emeth" in Hebrew means "the Truth," or "the Truthful one and a person of constant goodness" (Strachan’s Fourth Gospel, page 141). The word was interpreted by the Jews as "God’s Seal." Naturally, though Jesus must have used the name Ahmad, the phonetic resemblance of the two words (Ahmad & Emeth) caused later writers to substitute "Emeth"for Ahmad, its Hebrew synonym.

Thus the prophecy mentioned in the verse under comment applies to the Holy Prophet, but as a corollary it may also apply to the Promised Messiah, Founder of the Ahmadiyya Movement, since in his person the Second Manifestation of the Holy Prophet took place. To this Second Manifestation or Second Coming of the Holy Prophet, the third verse of the next Surah—Al-Jumu‘ah pointedly refers.

It may be mentioned here that a prophecy about the Holy Prophet is also clearly stated in Gospel of Barnabas which is treated by the Church as apocryphal but which has as much claim to be accepted as authentic as any of the four Gospels.

اور یاد کرو عیسیٰؑ ابن مریمؑ کی وہ بات جو اس نے کہی تھی کہ "اے بنی اسرائیل، میں تمہاری طرف اللہ کا بھیجا ہوا رسول ہوں، تصدیق کرنے والا ہوں اُس توراۃ کی جو مجھ سے پہلے آئی ہوئی موجود ہے، اور بشارت دینے والا ہوں ایک رسول کی جو میرے بعد آئے گا جس کا نام احمد ہوگا مگر جب وہ ان کے پاس کھلی کھلی نشانیاں لے کر آیا تو انہوں نے کہا یہ تو صریح دھوکا ہے

1419

关于伊撒对辩护人即安慰者亦即真理的精神的预言, 见 «圣经» 约翰12:13; 14:16—17; 15:26; 16:7, 由此可以清楚地推断出以下的结论:--------(a) 辩护人--------安慰者、真理的精神--------要等到伊撒去世之后才能出现; (b) 他永远留在人间;他打算说的很多事情是伊撒自己没法说的, 因为当时大家没法接受; (c) 他将引导人们得到所有的真理; (d) 他不会谈自己的, 但凡是他听到的, 他都会说; (e) 他将赞美伊撒(耶稣)并证实他的真理。这样描写辩护人--------安慰者、真理的精神--------像
«古兰经» 中的记载一样, 与穆圣的地位和使命完全一致。伊撒 (耶稣) 去世后才出现穆圣;他是最后一个立法先知, «古兰经»是全人类世世代代的最后启示的天经 (5:4)。他不从私欲发言, “这 (他所讲的话) 只是安拉下降的 (纯洁) 启示” (53:4)。他赞美伊撒 (耶稣) (2:254; 3:56)。«约翰福音» 中的预言与加注的这节经文中所提到的预言十分相像, 只是不用这儿提到的阿哈默德这个名字, 而用 “辩护人”。基督教作者怀疑 «古兰经» 上解说这个预言的正确性, 争论的基础是这两个名字的不同, 却不顾 «圣经»和 «古兰经»其他相同的地方。事实上耶稣既会阿拉米语也会希伯来语。阿拉米语是他的母语, 希伯来语是他的宗教语。现在的
«圣经» 是由阿拉米语和希伯来语译成的希腊语的译本。翻译当然不能充分传达原文的美。语言有其局限。用这种语言的人亦然。他们的局限性反映在他们的作品中。希腊语中还有一个名字叫做 Periklutos, 意思相似于阿拉伯语的 اَحْمَد (Ahmad, 阿哈默德)。著名基督教宗教学家贾克•范根 (Jack Finegan), 在他的 “The Archaeology of World Religions” 一书中说: “在希腊语中 Parakletos (安慰者) 这个字和 Periklutos (著名的) 很相似, 后者就是名词 اَحْمَد (Ahmad, 阿哈默德) 和 مُحَمَّد (Muhammad, 穆罕默德) 的意思。” 还有, 接近19世纪末在旧开罗的以斯拉犹太教之会堂中发现了经文 “The Damascus Document” (P.2), 里面说到伊撒 (耶稣) 曾预言一个名叫 Emeth 的 “圣灵”: “他借着他的迈喜合使他们知道他的圣灵。因为这个人就是 Emeth, 即真实的一位, 与他的名字相一致的还有他们的名字……” 在希伯来语中 “Emeth” 的意思是 “真理”, 或 “真实的一位, 一个永远善良的人”。(Strachan’s Fourth Gospel, p.141) 这个字犹太人译作 “安拉的玺”。自然地, 即使伊撒一定用过阿哈默德这个名字, 但是这两个字 (阿哈默德和Emeth) 语音相似, 使后来作者们用 “Emeth” 取代了它的希伯来语的同义词阿哈默德。因此这节经文中提到的预言可以用于穆圣, 可是作为必然的结果, 也可以用于 اَحْمَدِيَّة (Ahmadiyyah) 创始人受约的迈喜合, 因为他在真主启示 بَرَاهِيْن اَحْمَدِيَّة (Barahin Ahmadiyyah) 中也称作阿哈默德, 还因为穆圣的第二次显现或第二次来临的预言在他身上实现了。主麻 (الجُمُعَة, Al-Jumu‘ah) 章第三节经文显然是指穆圣的第二次显现或来临。可以顺便提一句, 有关穆圣的预言也在被基督教会教派当作伪经的《巴拿巴福音》 (Barnabas), 这一福音中作了清楚的叙述。但还是可以像 «四福音书» 一样, 被认为是真的而加以承认。
