5:42

سَمَّـٰعُونَ Listeners لِلْكَذِبِ to [the] falsehood أَكَّـٰلُونَ devourers لِلسُّحْتِ ۚ of the forbidden فَإِن So if جَآءُوكَ they come to you فَٱحْكُم then judge بَيْنَهُمْ between them أَوْ or أَعْرِضْ turn away عَنْهُمْ ۖ from them وَإِن And if تُعْرِضْ you turn away عَنْهُمْ from them فَلَن then never يَضُرُّوكَ will they harm you شَيْـًۭٔا ۖ (in) anything وَإِنْ And if حَكَمْتَ you judge فَٱحْكُم then judge بَيْنَهُم between them بِٱلْقِسْطِ ۚ with [the] justice إِنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah يُحِبُّ loves ٱلْمُقْسِطِينَ the ones who are just ٤٢

[They are] avid listeners to falsehood, devourers of [what is] unlawful. So if they come to you, [O Muḥammad], judge between them or turn away from them. And if you turn away from them - never will they harm you at all. And if you judge, judge between them with justice. Indeed, Allāh loves those who act justly.

5:43

وَكَيْفَ But how can يُحَكِّمُونَكَ they appoint you a judge وَعِندَهُمُ while they (have) with them ٱلتَّوْرَىٰةُ the Taurat فِيهَا in it حُكْمُ (is the) Command ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah ثُمَّ Then يَتَوَلَّوْنَ they turn away مِنۢ from بَعْدِ after ذَٰلِكَ ۚ that وَمَآ and not أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ those بِٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ (are) the believers ٤٣

But how is it that they come to you for judgement while they have the Torah, in which is the judgement of Allāh? Then they turn away, [even] after that; but those are not [in fact] believers.

5:44

إِنَّآ Indeed أَنزَلْنَا We revealed ٱلتَّوْرَىٰةَ the Taurat فِيهَا in it هُدًۭى (was) Guidance وَنُورٌۭ ۚ and light يَحْكُمُ judged بِهَا by it ٱلنَّبِيُّونَ the Prophets ٱلَّذِينَ those who أَسْلَمُوا۟ had submitted (to Allah) لِلَّذِينَ for those who هَادُوا۟ were Jews وَٱلرَّبَّـٰنِيُّونَ and the Rabbis وَٱلْأَحْبَارُ and the scholars بِمَا with what ٱسْتُحْفِظُوا۟ they were entrusted مِن of كِتَـٰبِ (the) Book ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah وَكَانُوا۟ and they were عَلَيْهِ to it شُهَدَآءَ ۚ witnesses فَلَا So (do) not تَخْشَوُا۟ fear ٱلنَّاسَ the people وَٱخْشَوْنِ but fear Me وَلَا and (do) not تَشْتَرُوا۟ sell بِـَٔايَـٰتِى My Verses ثَمَنًۭا (for) a price قَلِيلًۭا ۚ little وَمَن And whoever لَّمْ (does) not يَحْكُم judge بِمَآ by what أَنزَلَ has revealed ٱللَّهُ Allah فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ then those هُمُ [they] ٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ (are) the disbelievers ٤٤

Indeed, We sent down the Torah, in which was guidance and light. The prophets who submitted [to Allāh] judged by it for the Jews, as did the rabbis and scholars by that with which they were entrusted of the Scripture of Allāh, and they were witnesses thereto. So do not fear the people but fear Me, and do not exchange My verses for a small price [i.e., worldly gain]. And whoever does not judge by what Allāh has revealed - then it is those who are the disbelievers.

5:45

وَكَتَبْنَا And We ordained عَلَيْهِمْ for them فِيهَآ in it أَنَّ that ٱلنَّفْسَ the life بِٱلنَّفْسِ for the life وَٱلْعَيْنَ and the eye بِٱلْعَيْنِ for the eye وَٱلْأَنفَ and the nose بِٱلْأَنفِ for the nose وَٱلْأُذُنَ and the ear بِٱلْأُذُنِ for the ear وَٱلسِّنَّ and the tooth بِٱلسِّنِّ for the tooth وَٱلْجُرُوحَ and (for) wounds قِصَاصٌۭ ۚ (is) retribution فَمَن But whoever تَصَدَّقَ gives charity بِهِۦ with it فَهُوَ then it is كَفَّارَةٌۭ an expiation لَّهُۥ ۚ for him وَمَن And whoever لَّمْ (does) not يَحْكُم judge بِمَآ by what أَنزَلَ has revealed ٱللَّهُ Allah فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ then those هُمُ [they] ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ (are) the wrongdoers ٤٥

And We ordained for them therein a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth, and for wounds is legal retribution. But whoever gives [up his right as] charity, it is an expiation for him. And whoever does not judge by what Allāh has revealed - then it is those who are the wrongdoers [i.e., the unjust].
