يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O you ٱلَّذِينَ who ءَامَنُوٓا۟ believe[d] ءَامِنُوا۟ Believe بِٱللَّهِ in Allah وَرَسُولِهِۦ and His Messenger وَٱلْكِتَـٰبِ and the Book ٱلَّذِى which نَزَّلَ He revealed عَلَىٰ upon رَسُولِهِۦ His Messenger وَٱلْكِتَـٰبِ and the Book ٱلَّذِىٓ which أَنزَلَ He revealed مِن from قَبْلُ ۚ before وَمَن And whoever يَكْفُرْ disbelieves بِٱللَّهِ in Allah وَمَلَـٰٓئِكَتِهِۦ and His Angels وَكُتُبِهِۦ and His Books وَرُسُلِهِۦ and His Messengers وَٱلْيَوْمِ and the Day ٱلْـَٔاخِرِ the Last فَقَدْ then surely ضَلَّ he (has) lost (the) way ضَلَـٰلًۢا straying بَعِيدًا far away ١٣٦

O you who have believed, believe in Allāh and His Messenger and the Book that He sent down upon His Messenger and the Scripture which He sent down before. And whoever disbelieves in Allāh, His angels, His books, His messengers, and the Last Day has certainly gone far astray.

Indeed, those who have believed then disbelieved, then believed then disbelieved, and then increased in disbelief - never will Allāh forgive them, nor will He guide them to a way.

Those who take disbelievers as allies instead of the believers. Do they seek with them honor [through power]? But indeed, honor belongs to Allāh entirely.

وَقَدْ And surely نَزَّلَ He has revealed عَلَيْكُمْ to you فِى in ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ the Book أَنْ that إِذَا when سَمِعْتُمْ you hear ءَايَـٰتِ (the) Verses ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah يُكْفَرُ being rejected بِهَا [it] وَيُسْتَهْزَأُ and ridiculed بِهَا at [it] فَلَا then do not تَقْعُدُوا۟ sit مَعَهُمْ with them حَتَّىٰ until يَخُوضُوا۟ they engage فِى in حَدِيثٍ a conversation غَيْرِهِۦٓ ۚ other than that إِنَّكُمْ Indeed, you إِذًۭا then مِّثْلُهُمْ ۗ (would be) like them إِنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah جَامِعُ will gather ٱلْمُنَـٰفِقِينَ the hypocrites وَٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ and the disbelievers فِى in جَهَنَّمَ Hell جَمِيعًا all together ١٤٠

And it has already come down to you in the Book [i.e., the Qur’ān] that when you hear the verses of Allāh [recited], they are denied [by them] and ridiculed; so do not sit with them until they enter into another conversation. Indeed, you would then be like them. Indeed, Allāh will gather the hypocrites and disbelievers in Hell all together -

ٱلَّذِينَ Those who يَتَرَبَّصُونَ are waiting بِكُمْ for you فَإِن Then if كَانَ was لَكُمْ for you فَتْحٌۭ a victory مِّنَ from ٱللَّهِ Allah قَالُوٓا۟ they say أَلَمْ Were not نَكُن we مَّعَكُمْ with you وَإِن But if كَانَ (there) was لِلْكَـٰفِرِينَ for the disbelievers نَصِيبٌۭ a chance قَالُوٓا۟ they said أَلَمْ Did not نَسْتَحْوِذْ we have advantage عَلَيْكُمْ over you وَنَمْنَعْكُم and we protected you مِّنَ from ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۚ the believers فَٱللَّهُ And Allah يَحْكُمُ will judge بَيْنَكُمْ between you يَوْمَ (on the) Day ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ ۗ (of) the Resurrection وَلَن and never يَجْعَلَ will make ٱللَّهُ Allah لِلْكَـٰفِرِينَ for the disbelievers عَلَى over ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ the believers سَبِيلًا a way ١٤١

Those who wait [and watch] you. Then if you gain a victory from Allāh, they say, "Were we not with you?" But if the disbelievers have a success, they say [to them], "Did we not gain the advantage over you, but we protected you from the believers?" Allāh will judge between [all of] you on the Day of Resurrection, and never will Allāh give the disbelievers over the believers a way [to overcome them].

The People of the Scripture ask you to bring down to them a book from the heaven.
